Chapter 16: Trap

Chapter 16: Trap

Man Li, who was on the bus, finally noticed Jiang Cheng and Fatty didnt follow him. He turned around and looked at them in confusion. However, Fatty was not in the mood to care about him because he realised Director Zheng was glaring at Jiang Cheng. Her eyes turned vicious. A few seconds past, and since the driver didnt do anything, the bus door slammed closed.

The speed was so fast that Fatty was shocked. The bus disappeared, and only two deep tire tracks were left.

No! No! Fatty was scared by Director Zheng. His body couldnt stop shaking. After comparing this to the incident with Sister Nuan, he gasped, That was a trap! Director Zheng was a ghost too!

Jiang Cheng ignored Fatty. He saw the bus disappear and then whispered, Goodbye.

Jiang Cheng returned to the bungalow and came to the iron door on the third floor. Fatty wanted to ask Jiang Cheng some questions, but he didnt have the opportunity. Jiang Cheng reached out, and the door opened. Jiang Cheng didnt open it. Instead, an arm from inside opened the lock.

Its you!

As the door opened, Fatty gasped.

Chen Xiaomeng still looked pretty innocent. She pulled the door open. Jiang Cheng entered the door. After some hesitations, Fatty followed.

As Sister Nuan said, it was a secret room on the third floor. There was no window. The only light source was two white candles the size of a babys arm. The candlelight showed that the room was large. It was even larger than the main bedroom. A pure black iron door was embedded in the wall.

When he saw the iron door, Fattys heart relaxed. The iron door gave him an indescribable strange feeling. It couldnt be fabricated.

Im curious. How did you know it was a trap? Chen Xiaomeng sat on the chair and put her chin on her palm. Her other hand pointed behind the bungalow. She didnt look nervous. If anything, she looked excited. Of course, she was not talking to Fatty but Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng sat down across from her. Even though you decorated everything so truthfully by leaving the rope on the stairs and hiding them inside the storage to create the illusion that youve left through the backdoor, there were too many questions. For one, why would the ghost disguise itself as Sister Nuan to appear in the room after you left? Also, your bedroom was neatly arranged and set up. I dont believe the ghosts have the reasons to do that.

Chen Xiaomeng smiled, But even so, you were still tricked by us to leave the bungalow. You merely didnt get on the bus at the last moment.

Go to hell! Chen Xiaomeng grabbed the china vase next to her and tossed it over. Jiang Cheng avoided it easily. Her face was red. She looked like she would fight Jiang Cheng to death.

Jiang Cheng said calmly, Id advise you to calm down. This is a locked room, and were the only two people here. If you dont follow my instructions, some bad things might happen.

Chen Xiaomeng chuckled mirthlessly. Are you threatening me?

Fatty licked his lips. Brother, you two are not the only people here. Im here too.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Fatty and then added, Right. Theres also a Fatty here. Think about it.

Chen Xiaomengs face paled. Then, she turned around to look at the door. Jiang Chengs voice started again, Dont even think about it. That door is 5 metres from you, and Im only 3 metres from you. I can easily catch you.

Chen Xiaomeng laughed from anger. The door will open in less than 10 minutes. I dont think you can do anything to me.

Jiang Cheng scratched his chin with interest. So there are ten minutes left. As he stood up, he revealed a meaningful smile. We dont need that long. 30 seconds will be enough.

Fattys eyes widened.

Chen Xiaomengs fists tightened. Eventually, she gritted her teeth and hissed, What questions do you have? Ask.

Jiang Cheng smirked and sat back down. He looked a bit regretful.

How did you open this door?

Chen Xiaomeng glared at him and huffed. After you left yesterday, the ghost that killed Sister Nuan dragged her body here. I followed it here.
