Chapter 1328 Cross the river and demolish the bridge
That night, just after dinner, Wen Niannian received another call from Merlin.

She glanced at Mu He Nian, saw that he was talking to Wen Junye, so she didn't bother them.

She walked to the corner with the phone, sat in the soft chair, and answered the phone: "Hello?"

Merlin's voice came through the phone: "Good evening, ma'am."

Wen Niannian leaned back on the chair, looked at the flames in the fireplace, and casually greeted him: "Well, good evening."

"I don't know what Ma'am is thinking about?"

Wen Niannian pretended to be stupid: "How did you think about it?"

Merlin was silent for a while: "... Ma'am, don't tell me that you forgot our previous agreement after one dinner."

Wen Niannian is very innocent: "When did we have an agreement?"

"You promised me that as long as we let your brother go, you will help us catch the ghost."

"Oh, that's what you're talking about!" Wen Niannian suddenly realized, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you with catching the ghost."

Merlin was overjoyed: "You mean, someone who is willing to help us lure Derry has appeared?"

"This won't work. I can't be your bait. It's too dangerous. My husband will never allow me to do such a dangerous thing."

"But you have promised to help us catch the ghost..."

"Yes, I will help you catch the ghost, but I refuse to be the bait."

Merlin lowered his voice: "Ma'am, are you kidding us? You want to catch the ghost, but you don't want to be a bait. How can there be such a thing that has the best of both worlds?"

Wen Niannian said leisurely: "That's your business, you find a way to catch the ghost, I can try my best to cooperate with you, but I refuse to be a bait, and I also refuse all dangerous tasks."

"Madam, we have released your elder brother, which is enough to show our sincerity, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

Wen Niannian smiled: "Don't worry, I am very grateful that you let my brother go, but one size counts. I can't take my own life just because you let my brother go, can I? But the mother of three children, if I am gone, what will my children do? Even for them, I can't take risks!"

"Ma'am, you can't keep your promises!"

Wen Niannian said: "I have not been dishonest. I said that I am willing to help you catch the ghost. This promise is always valid, but I refuse to accept any dangerous tasks."

Merlin seemed to be so annoyed by her near-rogue behavior that he even forgot to use honorifics, and said, "Then tell me, is there any way to catch the ghost without taking risks?"

"You can go out and yell three times to open the door, maybe God will look at your poor IQ arrears and tell you who the ghost is? Hahaha, isn't this joke funny?"

Merlin: "..."

"Cough, well, this joke is a bit cold, why don't we change it to another one, I saw a very interesting joke recently, it's about..."

Merlin interrupted her: "Ma'am, I always thought you were a person who kept your promises, but now it seems that I was wrong. If I had known that you would break your promise, I would never have let the police release your brother." Leave, I regret it very much now!"

Before Wen Niannian could respond, he hung up the phone neatly.
