Chapter 238 The Most Precious Dowry!? Ghosts Seeking Life!?
"Don't worry, I haven't mentioned Qingfeng Academy to anyone."
Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but was still somewhat worried.
I'm afraid Cao Wen has a conspiracy behind this trip.
She looked at Huo Qilin beside her with concern.
“Mr. Huo, could you send some people to protect Qingfeng Academy? I’m worried that someone might try to take advantage of them.”
Huo Qilin grasped her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. No one can touch a hair on Qingfeng Academy's head!"
Meng Shu was deeply moved, yet couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Huo Qilin smiled and took her hand.
"After all, it was Mrs. Huo's dowry, so I naturally cherish it all the more."
Their eyes met, and everything was understood without words.
-
We said goodbye to the orphanage.
Meng Shu and Huo Qilin returned to the Huo family.
Immediately, I followed Old Master Huo into the study.
The three of them talked in private until four in the morning.
He had just left the study.
Day two.
It's just dawn.
Meng Shu suddenly received the news.
Wu Yifeng is dead.
As for the specific cause of death—
I heard he drank too much, accidentally fell into the river, and drowned.
Meng Shu did not believe that such a coincidence could happen.
After all, there was no river where Wu Yifeng lived.
Why would he go to the riverbank for no reason?
Therefore, there is only one possibility.
Someone made an appointment with him.
Meng Shu was also quite clear-cut.
I went directly to the scene.
Coincidentally.
She found Wu Yifeng's cell phone in the bushes by the river.
Hand it over to Uncle Seven immediately, and the password will be easily cracked.
Then, she sent a text message using Wu Yifeng's name.
I invited several people.
Zhou Piaopiao.
He Xiaoman.
Cao Wen.
And He Minghua.
-
night.
Twelve o'clock.
I can't see my fingers.
A figure appeared on the riverbank.
Meng Shu stood under the dark bridge arch.
Upon seeing that the person who came was He Minghua.
Meng Shu sneered.
It was her.
He Minghua was clearly terrified.
Her voice trembled as she spoke to herself.
[Wu Yifeng should be dead... How could he possibly send me a message?]
[It must have been a homeless person or a stray dog in the neighborhood who found his phone and accidentally touched the wrong buttons...]
After bolstering her courage, He Minghua calmed down considerably.
Then, she raised her voice.
"Where did this stray dog come from? Get out here right now!"
Unfortunately, no matter how she called out, it was no use.
No one responded.
At this moment, a cold wind blew, and sparse sounds came from the lake.
He Minghua was so frightened that she felt weak in the knees and was drenched in sweat.
She took a deep breath.
It seems that she guessed correctly.
It was a homeless person who accidentally touched it.
He Minghua prepared to leave.
Suddenly, I felt a chill down my back.
I seemed to sense someone behind me.
She turned her head subconsciously.
The bridge arch was dark and deserted.
She patted her chest and quickened her pace.
Running, running.
The chilling aura behind them intensified.
There were faint, heavy footsteps.
He Minghua suddenly turned her head.
The area behind them remained empty; there was no one in sight.
"Who? Who's behind me?" she shouted loudly.
The only response she received was from the dim streetlights.
"What a terrible thing! I'm so unlucky!" He Minghua cursed under his breath.
"You wicked woman, you killed me... I've come from the eighteenth level of hell to claim your life..."
Suddenly, a low, sinister laugh, unlike anything from the human world, rang out, as if it came from the depths of hell.
He Minghua was so frightened that her eyes went blank and the hairs on her body stood on end.
She opened her bag with trembling hands and took out the talisman inside.
"You...you...don't come any closer, I have a blessed talisman on me."
"You... if you dare come any closer, you'll be reduced to ashes! Get out of my way! Get out of my way!!"
He Minghua gripped the talisman tightly, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and large beads of sweat rolling down her face.
Just when she thought the ghost had been scared away.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared before her eyes.
A pair of pale hands stretched out out of thin air.
"Give me my life...Give me my life..."
