Nian Xiaomu was just about to walk inside when Yu Yuehan suddenly reached out and pulled her, “Who is it?”
“……” Nian Xiaomu’s footsteps lurched and raised her head in surprise, looking around.
In the empty courtyard, apart from the four of them, no one else could be seen at all, so why would he suddenly ask that?
As Yu Yuehan’s voice fell, the a*sistant and the driver instantly looked around alertly.
Soon, the sound of footsteps could really be heard coming from the corner.
By the sound of it, it was ready to run ……
“Stop!” The a*sistant chased after them without saying a word.
In one breath, he rushed to the corner of the courtyard and saw the scene in front of him, and people suddenly froze.
Yu Yuehan, holding Nian Xiaomu, took a step slower to follow.
He saw that the people hiding in the corner were not Tan Beng Beng, nor were they from the Tan family, but a few homeless people.
It looked like they had been living here for some time.
There were still some worn-out quilts and things that hadn’t been eaten in the corner.
Seeing them, there were panicked looks.
“We’re not thieves, we’re just staying here for a few days ……”
“The lock of the gate, did you guys smash it?” When Yu Yuehan saw the people in front of him, his black eyes flashed and his thin lips opened slightly.
His dignified and upright body stood forward, his body exuding an aristocratic aura that would make one unconsciously afraid.
A few people looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, “It’s not us, we sneaked in because we saw the lock on the gate was broken, we just thought it was a waste to leave such a big yard empty, so we stayed, we didn’t go anywhere but here!”
“Young Han, should we call the police? I don’t think they’ll tell the truth until they see the police.” The driver suggested.
As soon as the few homeless people heard that they wanted to call the police, they busily stood up.
Before they could say anything, Yu Yuehan had already slowly opened his lips, “They didn’t lie, they didn’t pick the lock, the door lock was rusty but the pry marks were very flat, it looked like they had used professional tools.”
Yu Yuehan’s words fell, everyone’s eyes looked from the corner where several homeless people lived.
There were no professional lock picking tools to be seen at all.
“You two stay here and watch them, don’t let them go.” Yu Yuehan instructed, leading Nian Xiaomu and walking together towards the old mansion’s house.
From the moment she entered the Tan family’s ancestral home, Nian Xiaomu was quiet.
Wherever Yu Yuehan led her, she went.
Whatever he said, she listened.
Everyone’s attention was on the Tan family’s mysterious old mansion, and no one noticed her gradually whitening face.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Yuehan noticed that the hand in his palm was getting colder and colder, and his footsteps gave a beat as he lowered his eyes to look at the person beside him.
Hearing his voice, Nian Xiaomu jumped up without saying a word and jumped into his arms.
Her legs clamped around his waist and she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
“It’s so gloomy here, I’m scared!”
Yu Yuehan: “……”
Yu Yuehan: “Tell the truth.”
Nian Xiaomu: “Afraid of ghosts.”
“Are you sure it’s not the ghosts that are afraid of you?” Yu Yuehan’s mouth was disgusted, knowing full well that she wasn’t really scared, but he still reached out and hugged her tighter.
“……”
Young Han, you probably don’t want a fiancee.
Nian Xiaomu slandered in her heart, fighting with him for a couple of minutes, her mood becoming less tense, her voice muffled as she spoke.
“This place gives me a very familiar feeling, but I can’t remember anything at all ……”
That feeling as if one should remember something, but one can’t recall it at all, makes one panic.
