The Haunted

Five years later . Back then, under the guidance of Ye Yingzhi, Chi Yan successfully helped his uncle turn over the tides of the company . He then settled down in Shiming City . Du Mingjing, at first, would give him one or two pointers, but when he later found out that the kid’s work was excellent, while his, when compared, was lacking, he let him off on his own . He thought to himself that Chi Yan had been feigning incompetence for a long time . It was only after seeing his uncle’s distress did he have the drive to reveal his abilities . In the beginning, Chi Yan would always ask for Ye Yingzhi’s opinion . But later on, he slowly learned the ways of business and was able to handle small and big affairs on his own . He would only consult Ye Yingzhi when the matter was too big . Gradually, Chi Yan’s temperament changed, becoming quite a different person from before . He later on became a famous new n.o.ble in Shiming City . To Ye Yingzhi, wealth and fortune were merely floating clouds [1] . If some things seized too much of Chi Yan’s time and attention, he wouldn’t be pleased . He’d have no intention of helping his lover, so Chi Yan would have to work on it himself . And there were occasionally conflicts in their lives . Like one time, Chi Yan arrived home at eleven in the evening because of a company banquet . After parking his car in the garage, he walked to the front door, but no one came to greet him . Chi Yan was already drunk, but he still vaguely realized that his family’s man was definitely angry . Fortunately, he brought the key to his house when he went out today . He took out the key and opened the door himself . When he closed the door and turned on the ceiling lamp, its orange light flickered . Its brightness faint, and it gave off an eerie creaking sound [2] . It illuminated the empty living room gloomily, as if there was a ghost hiding somewhere . If it had been before, Chi Yan would be frightened by this scene . However, after seven years of living together with Ye Yingzhi, he was no longer afraid . Chi Yan stood by the entrance as he changed his shoes and calmly said, “Ye Yingzhi, if you break the lights, you would have to change the light bulb for me tomorrow . ” This sentence seemed to turn on a switch . The flickering stopped, and warm orange light filled the room . A pair of cold and powerful arms encircled his waist from behind and Ye Yingzhi’s cold breath brushed over his neck . “I don’t think so . I have to punish you today . ” Chi Yan raised his hands in surrender and perfunctorily said, “Okay, I was wrong… I’ll accept any punishment . ” Even if Chi Yan resisted, it would be futile . Anyways, he also didn’t want to resist . He turned around and hugged Ye Yingzhi’s neck . There was a room on the second floor of Chi Yan’s house that was locked all the time . No one was allowed to enter it . Even when someone was occasionally invited to clean the house, it was never opened . Lately, a burglar had been frequenting the tenants of this villa area . After several successful attempts, he set his next target on Chin Yan’s house . When he saw Chi Yan going out, he broke in through the window of the storage room on the second floor . After quickly surveying the house, he aimed for the locked room . Easily opening the lock, he pushed the door and went in . The room was arranged like a spiritual hall . In the middle of the room laid a table for offerings, and it was enshrined with a black tablet that had the words “Ye Yingzhi’s Spirit” written in gold . He was a little frightened . Then a cold voice calmly asked, “Why did you enter my spiritual hall?” He looked around, but there was n.o.body there . The thief finally surrendered himself to the police and asked them to come pick him up . When he saw the policemen arriving, it was like seeing his loved ones after a long time . He cried and said that there were ghosts in the house . He begged them to take the ghosts away .
