He Lin's first reaction was to chase after them.

But his youngest son stopped him.

He Ningchuan held onto his father, not letting him go.

"Let go. You and your brother wait at home. I'm really scared to let Mianhua sleep with you. It's so late, and I'm worried about your mother going out alone."

"Dad, Mom is just going to pick up my sister and second brother, she'll be back soon."

He Ning'an thoughtfully provided details of the incident.

"So the younger sister had no idea that her older brother had gone there."

"Yes, Dad, if you go now, you'll ruin the great opportunity that your brother has created, so I can't let you go."

"Fine, you'd better pray that Mom doesn't run into any problems on the way."

He Lin frowned, glanced at the clock, and estimated what time he should call so that Yu Lian could answer.

"Dad, hurry up and spit it out! Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

He Ningchuan sat down next to his father and started talking about his sister's misdeeds over the past two days, but in the end he couldn't bear to do it.

"Dad, if my sister changes her expression again in a little while, are you really not going to do anything about her? She's so young and lives alone in such a big house, she'll be scared. What if a thief breaks into the house?"

He Ning'an was dozing off nearby; it was well past their bedtime.

"Take your little brother upstairs to sleep, and I'll wake you up when Mom comes back. Also, someone will always be watching your little sister, so there won't be any bad people."

After receiving his father's assurance, He Ningchuan followed his brother upstairs, but he was already very worried.

But now I'm worried that if my sister finds out it was her brother who was scaring her, they might fight.

At this moment, on the second floor of the He family villa.

He Ningxi curled up in bed, still holding the phone she had just hung up. The small space slowly became damp and stuffy as she watched in horror.

The sounds around her subsided, leaving only her natural reaction to her extreme nervousness—the uncontrollable pounding of her heart, which occupied her nerves.

Half an hour later, the eerie knocking sounded again.

dong dong dong -- dong dong dong --

"Open the door—open the door—let's play together—"

The sound was deliberately drawn out, accompanied by the howling of the evening wind, the faint sound mixed with the rustling of leaves outside the window.

Hearing the sound of being pushed away, He Ningxi's tense nerves reached their peak.

"ah!!!"

A piercing scream tore through the night sky and reached downstairs, reaching Yu Lian's ears as she entered the room.

At the same time, upon hearing the sound of a car engine shutting off, He Ningze was so frightened that he ran around in all directions, eventually hiding in the bedroom across the hall.

The sound of footsteps going upstairs gradually approached and stopped directly at the door opposite.

Screams came from the bedroom again.

After a long while, the shouting stopped abruptly, replaced by a sob of grievance.

Taking advantage of the chaos on the other side, He Ningze carefully opened the door and went downstairs, making sure he didn't reveal any flaws.

In the bedroom.

He Ningxi instinctively hugged Yu Lian tightly as she arrived.

To calm her daughter down, Yu Lian could only keep soothing her emotions.

"Don't be afraid, Mom's here. It's alright now. You rest for a bit, and I'll go out and check on things, okay?"

Before she could figure out who was knocking on the door, Yu Lian just wanted to understand the situation.

"Hehe, are you there?"

Yu Lian's turn made He Ningxi feel an unprecedented fear, and she clung to her tightly, refusing to let go.

"No, no, no!"

Looking at the terrified child, Yu Lian, who appeared troubled, gave in.

She closed the door and then, following her daughter's advice, locked it.

Then, amidst her sobs, I listened to her recount everything that had just happened.

"Who are you talking about?"

"It must be a ghost, otherwise how could it have opened the door when I locked it?"

The more arrogant they are usually, the more pathetic they are now.

Sweat mingled with tears, soaking her tousled hair. Seeing her haggard face, Yu Lian couldn't bear it and said, "There are no ghosts. Trust Mom, okay?"

"No, there really is a ghost, right here in the house. It must have hidden itself because you came!"

Yu Lian had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but now she needed to make sure she hadn't misunderstood the child.

"Okay, then you'll come back with me and stay here instead."

Just as expected, she did not hesitate at all, holding her mother's waist the whole time and not leaving her side for a moment.

After packing her luggage, Yu Lian still had to give her a pep talk.

Prove to her that going down the stairs through the corridor is perfectly safe.

After much persuasion, she opened the door and saw the key.

The house was surrounded by bodyguards, and even the two nearby uninhabited houses belonged to the He family.

Apart from the house where my daughter currently lives, the other two houses still have all the necessary servants and patrolling security guards.

The probability of it being a ghost is greater than the probability of it being a bad guy.

Yu Lian wasn't afraid; she picked up the key and placed it on the side table.

"Okay, Mommy will carry you down."

Yu Lian boasted that after drinking spiritual spring water all these years, she had become much stronger than the average adult woman.

But after carrying his eight-year-old daughter all the way from the second floor to the door, he inevitably started to pant heavily.

This child doesn't look very fat, but he's actually quite solid.

"call--"

"Alright, we're out now, no need to be afraid. Fasten your seatbelts, let's go home."

Noticing that her trunk wasn't closed properly, Yu Lian pressed it down.

He then started the car and slowly drove away from the villa.

On the way, He Ningxi was so frightened by the noise coming from behind that she ran directly from the back seat to the passenger seat.

"Fear?"

"There's something behind us. Is it following us?"

Yu Lian really wanted to nod, but saying it now would only scare her and cause the brother and sister to fight fiercely.

Let's wait until we get home and it's safe before having the second son apologize to his sister.

Throughout the journey, He Ningxi remained huddled in the passenger seat, wrapped in a blanket, afraid to look around, lest a terrifying ghost face appear on the windowpane if she turned her head.

She now deeply regrets secretly watching horror movies; now, whenever she closes her eyes, all she can think about are those movies.

"Mom, what kind of ghost is in the house? Will it haunt us?"

Yu Lian felt it was necessary to take the child to see Xue Zhi for a while tomorrow.

Yu Lian had never heard her call her "Mom," so it seemed that she had lost her mind from being frightened by the second child.

"It should be a brat, I think. She likes to play pranks, but she won't hurt you. If she really wanted to hurt you, she would have gone in before I arrived."

He Ningxi thought her mother made a lot of sense.

"But where did it go?"

"They probably ran away when they saw me coming; after all, kids are afraid of adults."

Yu Lian was talking nonsense with a straight face, but He Ningxi, who was still in shock, took it as the truth.

"Mom, you're amazing! I was wrong before, but you still came to save me..."

As she was talking, He Ningxi started crying first, before Yu Lian even had a chance to be moved.

Watching her daughter cry so intensely, she didn't say a word. Little did she know that their reconciliation would take place under such circumstances.

However, she can't be happy yet; what follows will be a major battle between the siblings.
