Midnight Forced Marriage

Chapter 250 It's Not a Ghost House

Suddenly, they seemed to be a little afraid of this house.The local villagers should know more about Li than the passing tourists, right?I also had to murmur in my heart, what is the secret of this house?

"Ah, I'm sorry." Chen Xiaofei apologized straight away, smiling, "It's like this, Mr. Zhou is our partner, and he has been receiving medicines from us. I run a company to process Chinese patent medicines, and they grow medicines on the mountain. A farmer who collects herbs. Last week, Mr. Zhou promised us to come to the company in three days to pick up the medicines and pay the bill. He also promised them to accept the rare and precious medicinal materials that he personally asked for, and he also delivered the goods and paid for them. As a result, the appointment We didn’t see Mr. Zhou’s people at a good time. We waited for three days, but we still didn’t see him. We called him, but he didn’t answer, and he didn’t answer emails. When we called his hometown, Mrs. Zhou also said that he hadn’t I received a call from Mr. Zhou, and I sent him a message, but I did not receive a reply. We also found Mr. Zhou’s partner in another company last week, and he said that Mr. Zhou accepted their medicine and the money was settled. It's clear. We are afraid that Mr. Zhou will go back on his word and won't accept our medicine. This is nothing at all, after all, it is a verbal promise, and no contract was signed. But"

Chen Xiaofei is a businessman, he has a good verbal skill and speaks clearly and rationally, but at the end, he showed embarrassment and paused before saying, "However, Mr. Zhou's name and the medicinal materials we asked for are very precious and rare. But if it is picked, it will rot if it is not processed within a week, and it will be ruined and useless. We came to look for it because we were too anxious. It's a pity that we just knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it...Here, you Look, we are too rude. Are you relatives of Grandma Zhou? I'm really sorry!"

After listening to Chen Xiaofei's long speech, we looked at Mr. Zhou's room, the window was dark and there seemed to be no one, and we suddenly became worried.

"That's it." Mrs. Xiao Jia yawned after listening, and there was a lot of disdain in her voice, "Wait a minute, I'll get you the keys."

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Xiaofei thanked her repeatedly, and after watching Mrs. Xiaojia leave, he took out his mobile phone and started making some calls, then hid aside to talk, it sounded like it was still a business matter.

And those medicine farmers gathered together one after another, looking at the house from time to time, as if they were very curious.They whispered to each other from time to time, not knowing what to discuss.

"... Even here, it's not that scary."

"Are you a man? A dilapidated house, not a ghost house."

"Why not? Didn't I hear that you..."

"Those years were all about us when we were young. After so many years, the old lady lived quite well by herself, and there are many guests. Don't talk about others if you are kind and generous!"

"Oh, but I heard not long ago that... nothing will happen to Mr. Zhou, right?"

"Don't be crowed, something really happened, you have the most stuff, you still hope that people are safe and sound, okay?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"Oh, that's enough, there are still residents here? Keep your voices down..."

Their voices were originally so low that I couldn't hear them clearly even if I pricked up my ears.However, I intentionally picked up a magic handprint, temporarily suppressed the ability of the mouth and nose, doubled the function of the ears, and captured the gossip they were talking about in the air.

Isn't that obvious?Isn't it rumored that Grandma Zhou's mansion used to be a haunted house?It's just a matter of many years ago, and now, the old account has been turned over again.Whether it is, who knows?In my opinion, it must have something to do with Grandpa Zhou, or the sorcerer who was once received by Grandma Zhou and skillfully cast Grandpa Zhou back, right?
Now that I think about it carefully, I wonder if Grandma Zhou's decision is right or wrong?Lost family happiness and the right to be a mother, in exchange for more than 40 years of Grandpa Zhou's careful company.

Alas, it seems that you can't have your cake and eat it too, right?
When they saw that I was paying attention to them, they reminded each other not to talk nonsense.At this time, Chen Xiaofei also finished the phone call, walked back to us, and nodded to me.

When it was quiet, Mrs. Xiao Jia walked over with a clatter of keys, and the sound of the bracelet and earrings on her body made the atmosphere no longer dull and gloomy.

"Come here, I don't know if there is anyone inside...".

"Excuse me!" Chen Xiaofei was still polite, and followed Mrs. Xiaojia. When the door was unlocked, a cold breath came out.In an instant, I felt that this was definitely not a room where someone lived.However, even if he left soon after Madam Xiaojia left that day, it would only be three days...

"no one?"

When Chen Xiaofei entered the room, he searched in every corner. This east room was different from the one where Chu Yue and I lived. It was a suite, with two rooms inside and outside, and a total of three rooms including the bathroom. I opened the refrigerator and checked, but there was no one there.

Mrs. Xiaojia, me and those medicine farmers also came in.The clothes on the bed were scattered, and the towels and soaps on the washbasin stand were randomly placed as if the owner had just used them in the morning... Most importantly, I found the suitcase, which was placed in the corner of the bed and was not zipped up , not to mention password security.

"It should be like going out for a while and coming back in a while, but" I said while watching and walking, frowning and continued, "I haven't seen anyone since noon yesterday. Madam Xiaojia, has the door opened since that day? "

"How do I know?" Madam Xiaojia shrugged, as if she had nothing to do with her.

"Oh, Mr. Chen." I called Chen Xiaofei, "It looks like he's not here either."

He was very happy to be called by Mr. Chen, and looked at me with a smile, "I...sorry, can we look again in this house?"

"What do you mean?" Madam Xiaojia immediately became upset, "You mean we can hide him?"

"No no no no……"

"No, no? It would be nice to bring you the key. You still want to search the yard. Do you have a search warrant?" Mrs. Xiaojia put one hand on her hip and pointed at Chen Xiaofei with the other.I rolled my eyes, watching the show was quite enjoyable, I knew Mrs. Xiaojia was a shrew type woman.

"We don't, but please make it easier, otherwise" Chen Xiaofei coughed deliberately, "We are going to call the police."

"As you like, the police can search when they come. If you want to search, it means breaking into a private house. Instead, we have to call the police. Anyway, if you don't leave now, you have to call the police. You or us? "

Hearing the words, Chen Xiaofei pressed his forehead helplessly, hesitated for a moment, looked at the encouraging looks from the drug farmers, sighed, and called the police.

However, next, the police came, and after several mediations, they were still allowed to search the house carefully under the leadership of the police uncle.However, there was really no sign of Mr. Zhou.

People missing?
"how so…"

After tossing all morning, Chen Xiaofei finally went back to the police station with the policemen on duty.Mrs. Xiaojia and I were directly asked not to leave the village for the time being because of the missing persons issue. More importantly, Mr. Zhou really disappeared for no reason.

This is not only me, but even Mrs. Xiaojia, who has always been violent, unreasonable and lawless, is a little confused. She sits dejectedly by Grandma Zhou's bed, looking at Grandma Zhou who has just subsided her fever and is still asleep. We are all helpless.
