Chapter 2289: Chapter 2289: Custom Lover (24)

"Go back."

Fong Yan’s head felt dizzy as Chuzheng pulled him back.

"Wait, there’s a sound over there..." Fong Yan stopped: "I’ll go check it out."

It was already strange that she ran to this place; what she did just now was hardly different from trying to cover things up.

Chuzheng had a serious face: "You’re hearing things."

Fong Yan didn’t think he misheard: "Wait for me here."

Chuzheng: "..."

Fong Yan headed towards the abandoned building behind them.

Chuzheng sighed inwardly, why couldn’t he just listen and be obedient?

Chuzheng raised her hand, aimed at the back of Fong Yan’s head, and gave a hard chop.

Fong Yan’s body suddenly froze, then he fell backward.

Chuzheng caught him, glanced at the abandoned building, picked him up, and left the place.

-

Fong Yan didn’t wake up until the next day, his neck sore and achy.

Recalling yesterday, Fong Yan’s face alternated between shades of blue and white, and he felt both ashamed and angry.

Fong Yan changed his clothes and went out, ready to knock on Chuzheng’s door.

Reaching the door, Fong Yan stopped, turned back to his room, and first informed someone to check the place from yesterday.

Fong Yan felt a bit restless, went downstairs to work on some building blocks.

His people quickly sent back progress; buried in the dirt at the ruins, they found Li Sheng with only his head exposed.

Fong Yan: "..."

How did she manage to grab Li Sheng!

And even buried him in the dirt.

Is she crazy?

"President Fong, what should we do? Do we need to get Mr. Li out?"

Fong Yan walked back and forth in the living room with his hands on his hips, eventually ordered his people to get Li Sheng out, toss him somewhere, and send a few reporters to take some exclusive photos.

"..."

You as President Fong remain as you are.

Fong Yan hung up the communication, continued to pace back and forth, sometimes hands on hips, sometimes rubbing his forehead, not knowing what to think.

"What are you doing?"

The girl came down the stairs, her voice crisp and clear as if it could soothe his inner agitation.

Fong Yan’s steps paused slightly: "Did you knock me out last night?"

"You fainted on your own, it has nothing to do with me." Chuzheng tried to bluff her way through: "I didn’t hit you; don’t make things up."

Fong Yan: "..."

His sore neck was evidence!

Fong Yan gave her an intense stare for nearly two minutes before slowly saying: "Starting today, you’ll attend classes."

Where did she learn these behaviors...?

"!!!"

Chuzheng felt a wave of panic inside, attend classes for what?

I am just a robot, why must I endure such torment!

Fong Yan didn’t mention again about Chuzheng knocking him out, nor did he talk about discovering Li Sheng, he went to the study room to find some materials and books, put them all in front of Chuzheng.

"I still have things to do, so..."

"Once you step out of this room, I’ll hand you over to Fong Wuye." Fong Yan’s tone was serious, not joking.

"..."

Go ahead and hand me over!

Do you think I can’t come back? Do you really think I’m just a robot? What a joke! No way a big deal like me would be threatened by you!

Chuzheng ran off in a flash.

Fong Yan stood in the room with his chest feeling blocked, unable to breathe in or out, so angry he got dizzy.

Fong Yan checked the positioning again, realizing Chuzheng had blocked it already.

Shouldn’t have told her yesterday...

-

Chuzheng saw Li Sheng’s embarrassed appearance on TV, his clothes stripped down to his shorts, with high-definition images being repeatedly broadcast, likely seen by the whole nation.

Chuzheng: "..."

Why is he on TV?

Chuzheng shifted her thoughts, guessing that this was probably Fong Yan’s doing.

Mental devastation... brutal indeed!

How would Li Sheng face people now?

The people next to Chuzheng were pointing at Li Sheng on the big screen.

"Isn’t that the president of Hengrun Technology? The single rich man, how did he end up like this on the news?"

"Could it be bankruptcy?"

"Impossible, Hengrun Technology is doing fine; no rumor indicating bankruptcy."

"Sure enough, he’s a diamond single wealthy man, but that body though!!"

"What’s the use of a great body, you can’t have him either."

"But now we’ve seen it, hehe..."

Chuzheng heard strange laughter around her, making her shudder as she moved out of the crowd.

Chuzheng tracked down the last name on the list: Simpson Fergus.

Unfortunately, he was already dead.

And had been dead for a long time.

"Here it is, no one has lived here for a long time." The woman leading the way pointed to the vine-covered yard ahead: "The person you’re looking for used to live here."

"Thanks."

"Oh, no need, no need to thank, given your generosity, I should be the one thanking you." The woman had a flattering smile on her face.

Chuzheng: "You may leave now."

"Well..."

The woman hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything else?"

"Ahem..." The woman looked toward the yard: "I don’t know what you are doing here, but there’s... ghosts here!"

"Ghosts?"

Like a thief, the woman glanced around: "Indeed, the yard was up for sale, but after several owners, no one lived here for long."

"Those who lived here either suddenly got sick or met with accidents, and some say they saw ghosts wandering in the rooms at night... Anyway, it’s just not auspicious. So the yard stays abandoned."

Ghosts...

According to the usual routine, this is most likely the place she’s looking for.

[Main task: Purchase No. 29, Tianheng Street, within one day.]

Chuzheng: "..."

Tianheng Street is this street.

No. 29... could it be this haunted house?

Bastard, are you crazy!

[No, I’m very well.] King’s Account responded crisply.

Chuzheng: "..."

Chuzheng took a deep breath, asking the woman still engrossed in the ghost stories: "Is this house still for sale?"

The woman opened her mouth in confusion: "Huh?"

-

The woman led Chuzheng to the place, her gaze towards Chuzheng was puzzled.

She’d already mentioned it’s haunted, yet she still wants to buy it?

This young girl might have money, but can’t treat her life so recklessly... does she not value it...

The woman could only vent inwardly.

Chuzheng quickly got the house keys, didn’t need to climb over the wall to enter.

[See, my lady, it’s for your own good.] King’s Account boasted: [There’s nothing money can’t solve!]

"Except for dealing with you."

[...]

Lady, you are being unfriendly!

Chuzheng used the key to open the door, it was entwined with vines, Chuzheng pulled the vines off and pushed the door open.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the ground was covered in moss.

Crossing the yard, she reached the entrance door.

Chuzheng pushed open the door, greeted by a living room filled with dust and cobwebs, overturned furniture strewn across the floor.

It looked as though the place had been ransacked.

Even though the house has been sold several times, reportedly everything inside is original, untouched by new owners.

Some liked these things, while others got scared before having the chance to change anything and fled.

Chuzheng observed the dust and cobweb imprints, seemingly no one’s been here for long.

Chuzheng stepped around the scattered items, making her way inside.

The entire house was this disorderly, like being looted, yet... many seemingly valuable items lay abandoned on the floor, unclaimed.

It resembled more of someone searching for something...
