Chapter 1098: Your Highness, Weiwei Is in Danger

Master Zhang’s mouth was agape, as if he had not expected such a reason at all.

Moreover, each one that came ended up dying…

Master Zhang and the monk looked at each other. Their hearts trembled, but they did not show it on their faces.

Anyway, there were so many of them this time, so they should be fine.

Master Zhang’s expression changed as he thought of it this way. He said confidently, “Don’t worry, General Song. Everything will be better after tonight.”

“I know that all of you are the best in the industry.” The old man smiled, as if he believed Master Zhang’s words. However, he continued, “I’ve heard about the people who came before all of you. Some of them didn’t know anything and wanted to deceive us, while some of them were really talented, but they didn’t escape the disaster the next day.”

When the old man said this, everyone understood that the old man didn’t completely believe in their abilities.

“I am a person who survived by arming myself with a gun. I do not believe in ghosts.” The old man sighed, then he said, “But my granddaughter is different. I have not cared enough for her. Her parents have passed away a long time ago, but I often do not come back and I just live in the army all year round. For so many years, this girl has lived alone. Now that something like this has happened, I hope that everyone can really help her.”

This time, Master Zhang didn’t dare to say too much and just nodded obediently.

The old man turned his head and said to Li Ya, “My granddaughter trusts Miss Li Ya the most. She often watches your show and says that if she can invite you here, things might turn around.”

“General Song, you are to kind.” Compared to Master Zhang, Li Ya was much more unfathomable. She held a crystal ball in her hand, and looked as if she could really make accurate divinations.

The old man nodded and said, “What else do the few of you want to ask?”

Master Zhang and the monk were both drinking tea. Li Ya was also just sitting there in her mysterious looking black chiffon dress. She didn’t say anything and looked very much like a witch.

There was a brief moment of silence in the hall.

The old man’s gaze swept over them.

Helian Weiwei saw that no one spoke, so she put her teacup down and there was a smile in her voice. “You haven’t told us about how this deal is going to work and how you’re going to pay us the commission.”

Everyone else got a shock and even the captain who brought them here was stunned by this question.

There was actually someone who dared to ask General Song such a question.

He was from the military after all, so his reaction speed was also fast. The old man stretched out his hand to block the captain who was about to speak and smiled. “Of course I will pay everyone, but that will depend on how capable all of you are. If you’re just one of those swindlers on TV, then I’ll make you leave immediately.”

“Oh? Distributing the commission according to ability isn’t a bad method of doing things.” Helian Weiwei crossed her slender legs and smiled brightly. “I still have a few more questions for General Song.”

The old man raised his hand. “Please speak.”

“Earlier you said that you’re not the one who wrote us the registered letter, so the idea of using an escape room to test our ability didn’t come from you either, right?” Helian Weiwei’s voice was very flat.

The old man paused for a moment. “Yes, it’s my granddaughter’s idea. She doesn’t want to see swindlers come here and never return, and I also agree with her idea. At the very least, we can test everyone’s courage at the courtyard house. Some masters in name hadn’t even started yet and were already so afraid that they wanted to escape. If such a person came to deal with this problem, he would only end up losing his life.”

Master Zhang heard these words and guiltily lowered his head as he took a sip of tea.

Helian Weiwei thought to herself that this General Song was really clever. Every sentence he said achieved the effect he wanted.

Helian Weiwei never beat around the bush when it came to smart people, so she asked the second question directly, “Since you said that you don’t believe in ghosts, then after such a thing happened, shouldn’t your first reaction be to find a doctor to check if your granddaughter has any mental problems? Why did you allow her to write these invitations instead?”

The old man didn’t speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Helian Weiwei’s eyes narrowed. “Or did something happen before that made you feel that she has indeed been followed by a ghost?”

The old man didn’t expect Helian Weiwei to ask such questions after he had just said a few sentences.

He raised his eyes and suddenly smiled. “Young lady, you’re really not simple.”

At this time, the captain whispered something into the old man’s ear.

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Helian Weiwei again. “The questions at the courtyard house were all solved by you? ”

“Yes.” Helian Weiwei didn’t feel that it was difficult at all since it just took some observation and imagination. She was from the Tang Sect in the first place, so if she couldn’t guess these simple tricks, then her life was lived in vain.

The old man was silent for a while before he opened his mouth again and said to Helian Weiwei, “Something did happen before this. Last year, Tongtong went out with a few of her classmates. One of them met an accident. It was night time, the sea was at high tide, and no one knew why she went to the seaside at that time, but she ended up drowning just like that. Later on, a doctor helped to counsel these students.”

“I originally thought that this was the end of the matter. I didn’t expect that half a year later, just a few days ago, Tongtong kept saying that something seemed to be following her. Not only Tongtong, but even the guests who came to stay at our place at that time also said that they heard someone crying and even saw a figure by the window. They were so scared that they took a plane and left the next day. I didn’t tell anyone about this matter, but at this point, I should mention this.”

“The four friends who were with Tongtong at that time are also here. They were worried and wanted to come and take a look. They’re all staying on the second floor. I hope that everyone can catch this ghost tonight.”

Helian Weiwei did not speak.

Of course, Master Zhang swooped in on any chance to speak and said, “We will do our best to protect Miss Song. ”

“Very good. In the remaining time, everyone can discuss how to deal with tonight. I will go up and see Tongtong.” As the old man spoke, he stood up and walked towards the second floor with his walking stick.

The military captain stayed behind. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and said with a faint smile, “Eldest Young Mistress is still very weak and cannot come down to see everyone. There is still some time before the sun sets, and according to the original arrangement, I should have brought everyone to see the surrounding terrain of the villa and go to the swimming pool at the back to swim. Unfortunately, it rained today, so I can only wait until tomorrow morning to bring everyone around to relax.”

“The servants have prepared tea and snacks, you don’t have to stand on ceremony. Ask them to prepare whatever you want to eat. I have to drive to the city in a while, but I’ll be back before dark. If you need anything, I can buy it for you.”
