Chapter: 3053

"Heh, I've always had a bad feeling about this," Mack said beside him, "Grandpa, don't you think we should just go back to America? Today's Xu Fan Year is really too evil, and if he decides to take us on, we're completely at a loss!"

Xu Cheng Xing sighed, "We can leave, but if we do, we'll definitely offend Su Cheng Ming. When that time comes, what if Su Cheng Ming lets him get rid of us? Wouldn't that be making things worse?"

Mack hastily said, "We can just explain things to him and then return his money. A peaceful resolution is always possible, isn't it?"

Xu Cheng Xing shook his head, "You haven't listened to Xu Fan Year's words, have you? He's good at killing people, but not good at finding them. So he's still waiting for us to find the person and then he'll take care of things. Now Su Cheng Ming thinks that the person we're looking for is related to his granddaughter, Su Zhi Yu, so we need to find it from her. If we give up now, Xu Fan Year might not agree to let us go. Let me hurry up and find the person before he gets rich."

This made him sigh, "We've already been set up like this. Whether we leave or not, it's not up to us anymore."

Mack couldn't help but shout out an English curse, his face red with anger, "How are we going to... find that person?"

Xu Cheng Xing felt sorry for him, "Finding the person is possible, but the key is whether there will be other troubles afterwards. And if we do find the person and Xu Fan Year kills them, then that's our own doing."

Mack couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, it's not time to worry about others right now. We need to hurry up and leave Nanjing safely. If we're eaten by that big white ant, we'll be completely done for!"

Mack hesitated for a moment, lightly nodded his head, and sighed, "Well, your words also have some reason. When you're busy taking care of yourself, you can only think of ways to protect yourself......"

Finished speaking, he said again, "I'll try to figure out a way to contact Su Zhi Yu tomorrow and see if I can find any breakthrough from her side."

...

The next day, a strange rumor suddenly emerged in the streets of Jinling.

It was said that a mysterious event had occurred at the Phoenix Mountain Public Cemetery outside the city, where a cemetery guard had been killed by an evil spirit last night.

However, this kind of gossip quickly gained control and became too sensational, so only some elderly people who were prone to superstition believed it. Young people generally reacted with disdain.

In the morning, Mara had prepared breakfast at home and waited for Yedan and Xiao Ran to come down and eat. When they came, she spoke very seriously at the dining table, "You two must definitely stay in as much as possible these two days. If you have something that needs to be taken care of, make sure to return before nightfall!"

Xiao Ran asked with a puzzled expression, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mara had to emphasize her words and said, "I'm telling you, someone was killed by a ghost at Phoenix Mountain Public Cemetery last night! They even sucked out their brains! It's said that when they died, seven orifices bled profusely, and there was a huge hole on top of their head. Inside was just an empty shell with nothing!"

Xiao Ran heard these words and responded with a helpless expression, "Mom, you're supposed to be someone who has studied in university. You also believe this kind of rumor? There's no such thing as ghosts in the world; it's all just nonsense."

However, this kind of gossip quickly gained control and became too sensational, so only some elderly people who were prone to superstition believed it. Young people generally reacted with disdain.

Mara spoke very seriously, "This can't be a lie! This is true! I've heard rumors from several old folks I know, including photos that have been deleted by the system. That photo was terrifying, and it's still making me shiver even now."

Xiao Ran wrinkled his brow and said, "I think some people in my friend circle are discussing this too, but after checking our chat records, there's no evidence like photos."

Xiao initially smiled and said, "Even if there were photos, they might not be trustworthy. The computer-generated technology is so advanced now that any photo can be fabricated. You guys should just relax and don't try to make something out of nothing."

Mara emphasized, "It's better to believe it has happened than to disbelieve it. You two should go home early anyway. It won't cause any harm, and you'll get to spend more time with me at home, which is great."

Xiao Ran shook his head in resignation and said, "But I have a project deadline recently and will be busier later on."

Mara was helpless and shook her head, looking at Yedan who had been silent until then. She instructed him, "Good son-in-law, you're capable. Make sure to pick up Xiao Ran from home tonight. Mom won't feel reassured if she's alone." JrNovels.com
