The atmosphere made Luo Yingbai feel even more strange. He didn’t immediately enter but stood at the staircase, observing. Moonlight cast a shadow on the wall beside him.
Suddenly, Luo Yingbai noticed a curved edge beside the wall, with a few strands of hair floating.
— It was the silhouette of a head.
Luo Yingbai suddenly turned, and simultaneously, a shining dagger was placed against his neck.
The blade raised, forcing Luo Yingbai to tilt his head back. The knife-wielder wore a cold smile, stepping out from the shadows into the moonlight.
Luo Yingbai remained calm, smiling softly: “Hello, Third Aunt.”
Zhu Linya’s hair was disheveled, her face haggard, her eyes bloodshot, looking almost manic.
This was in stark contrast to Luo Yingbai, who remained leisurely despite having a knife to his neck.
Luo Yingbai wasn’t afraid of her. He didn’t fight back because he wanted to hear what Zhu Linya was planning. He was amused that she had irrationally blamed everything on him, saying helplessly: “You’re overthinking this. What are you talking about? Who did you kill? What watch?”
“You’re so cunning. You’ve already found your way here and you’re still playing dumb with me.
Zhu Linya gave a cold laugh, and her free hand suddenly pointed behind her, raising her voice: “If you don’t want to live, do you want them to die too!”
Luo Mingbai followed her finger and looked, and his face instantly changed color.
At this moment, Summer Zhi and Summer Ni were tied together with the same rope, standing trembling on a narrow air conditioning bracket outside the window.
The rope binding them was tied to the stair railing, but it didn’t look very secure.
With just a slight negligence, these two children could fall at any time.
It turned out that Summer Zheng and Zhu Linya were indeed scheming. Summer Zheng was prompted by the female ghost to find that watch, and was presumably also given advice by the ghost to arrange a meeting with Zhu Linya in this place with heavy yin energy.
Zhu Linya, meanwhile, had taken the opportunity to kidnap the two Summer family children. If the children remained in her hands, even if she killed Summer Zheng, she would have leverage to threaten the Summer family.
