Chapter 172: Haunted House?
It's that red dress!
It was the red dress he bought for his former lover Gu Jiaqi!
After Gao Yifan received the red dress, he added a small red bow to the shoulder strap, expressing his hope for their relationship. He hoped that the bond between him and Gu Jiaqi would remain tightly bound together like this bow.
Gao Yifan's eyes widened as he pointed at Gu Jiaqi's clothes and shouted, "Why are you wearing this?"
Gu Jiaqi looked down at her clothes, not knowing what was going on. Suddenly, she screamed in fear. She backed away, taking off her clothes, and then threw the red dress away with all her might. The girl's teeth were chattering with fear:
"This is not what I wore before going to bed. Master Ling, you saw it too. I cut this dress into pieces with scissors long after Li Yawen's accident!"
Mei Ling'er nodded in agreement.
Gao Yifan's brows knitted tightly together: "Fortunately I came here, I was just worried about you, so after thinking it over, I decided to come find you."
Gu Jiaqi looked at Gao Yifan with eyes that were instantly filled with different emotions. Gao Yifan was also staring at her closely at this moment. Their fiery gazes met in the air. If they were the only two people left in the room now...
"Cough cough..." Mei Ling'er covered her mouth and pretended to cough a few times.
The two of them looked at each other anxiously and had to separate. Gu Jiaqi stared at the ground with a slightly red face, pretending that nothing had happened.
Mei Ling'er walked into the bedroom with a serious expression. She didn't understand why Gu Jiaqi suddenly attacked her after they had lived in peace for several years.
And this happened after they moved. Nothing happened at their previous residence, but after moving here, Li Yawen started to scare Gu Jiaqi in various ways. Is this place a haunted house?
"Disciple, what's scarier than ghosts is the human heart..."
The white-bearded old man said this out of the blue, which aroused Mei Ling'er's curiosity. She asked quietly:
"Do you know something? If you have something to say, say it now! If you have something to say, say it now!"
Just as he finished speaking, a strange sound came from the bedroom, like a fat duck walking on the wet stone floor.
pat!
pat!
The three people in the living room looked over at the same time. Li Yawen's bloody eyes were staring at Gu Jiaqi. She stretched out her arms, put her legs together, and jumped towards Gu Jiaqi at a rapid speed. Her hands were about to touch Gu Jiaqi's neck.
bass!
Gao Yifan risked his life to stand in front of Gu Jiaqi. Li Yawen opened her bloody mouth and aimed at the man's shoulder, ready to bite. His face was full of fear, but he was powerless to do anything.
Mei Ling'er yelled, "Hurry up!"
This old man with a white beard was truly absurd. If Gao Yifan was bitten by a ghost, how would she explain this to Gu Jiaqi? Moreover, even at a critical moment where human lives were at stake, he could still sit still! Mei Linger mentally criticized the old man with a white beard.
Seeing that Mei Ling'er's face had turned very ugly, the old man with white beard hurriedly took out a piece of yellow paper and danced his fingers smoothly in the air.
Whoosh!
A piece of yellow paper with a talisman written on it was stuck on the forehead of the female ghost Li Yawen. Almost in the blink of an eye, Li Yawen stopped moving and stood there motionless.
Seeing this, Gu Jiaqi immediately pulled Gao Yifan's clothes out of Li Yawen's palm.
"It's okay!" Gu Jiaqi gently patted Gao Yifan's back. "Master Ling is very powerful. With her around, we don't have to fear anything!"
Mei Ling'er glanced at the notice on the white wall, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to say, "Didong Moving Company is right. Li Yawen is indeed seeking to repay Gu Jiaqi's kindness. As for her death, she believes it was all an accident, and the culprit is the demon who indiscriminately attacked passersby. As for Gu Jiaqi, Li Yawen always considered her a close friend from college, a generous girl who was willing to let her express her feelings to her boyfriend."
Gu Jiaqi and Gao Yifan looked at each other, unable to suppress the doubts in their hearts.
Mei Ling'er raised her hand in the air, stopping Gu Jiaqi from asking questions, and confidently explained, "I know you must be wondering, since Li Yawen didn't intend to harm you, how do you explain her behavior just now?"
Gao Yifan nodded heavily: "What happened to Li Yawen's ghost? Did he get upset?"
Mei Ling'er smiled slightly. "I didn't expect you to be right. This house was cursed, so when Li Yawen's spirit moved here from Baoli Community, all kinds of abnormal behavior began to occur."
After saying this, Gu Jiaqi, who had been silent on the side, immediately retorted, "Impossible! There's absolutely no problem with this house. Such a good house is simply not available for rent at the price I expected. Thanks to Jiang Huitian's help, I was able to get this house at the lowest price."
Gao Yifan asked in surprise, "Are you talking about your college roommate, the girl who was covered in high-tech equipment?"
Gu Jiaqi nodded blankly: "Yeah, you still remember her? But it's true. To celebrate our being together, you invited everyone in our dormitory to dinner, and she went too. And I saw that you two had a very happy chat."
Gao Yifan scratched his head awkwardly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Mei Linger smiled slightly: "Gao Yifan, don't be embarrassed. Quickly explain the matter to Jiaqi."
Gao Yifan nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay, I didn't intend to hide it from Jiaqi in the first place."
"Ever since I treated everyone in Jiaqi's dorm to dinner, Jiang Huitian has been chatting with me frequently and even confessed her feelings to me, which I immediately rejected. I was worried that if I told you, you wouldn't feel comfortable getting along in the dorm, so I kept it a secret."
"She and I have been in constant contact for the past two years, and I wanted to hear about your recent situation from her. She was the one who helped me find the house in Baoli Community."
"Also...she persuaded me many times when I bought you that red dress."
Gu Jiaqi looked confused: "She...why did she do this?"
Mei Ling'er smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Let me tell you the reason. The murderer who stabbed Li Yawen wasn't committing a crime for the first time. Jiang Huitian had been threatened by him on that street before, so she knew he held a grudge against people wearing red. That day, she had originally planned to have you, Jiaqi, wear a red dress and appear before the murderer."
"But what she didn't expect was that the skirt was actually given to Li Yawen by another roommate. What surprised her even more was that Jiaqi, you were actually willing to give her the skirt that your boyfriend bought..."
After hearing this, Gu Jiaqi opened her mouth wide, unable to believe it was true.
