The moment the man surnamed Tao stepped into the house, he immediately looked around carefully and thought to himself, “This house looks quite ordinary. There is not even anything valuable. It is shabby compared to my home. It doesn’t look like a star’s home at all.”
“Wait, you-“
Gu Wuji’s voice suddenly sounded, and the man turned his head to look. He felt that Gu Wuji’s delicate and beautiful face seemed to have a bit of coldness.
Did he discover something so quickly? The man surnamed Tao was frightened for a while. He thought he had disguised himself very well. He even had business cards and property information ready, just to deal with the desperate situation. It was obvious that there was no possibility of any problems.
“It’s better to put on disposable slippers when you enter. Ah, here they are.” Gu Wuji rummaged through the cabinet several times before pulling out the disposable slippers. “After all, the people who work at home are quite grumpy. If you mess up the floor, they will get angry.”
The man surnamed Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Was it because of this? This was a false alarm and he was too nervous.
But who did the work at home? He had never seen this information before. Could it be Gu Wuji’s secret lover?
Thinking of this, the man surnamed Tao suddenly became short of breath. He did not expect to receive such explosive news as soon as he came in.
After entering the door, Gu Wuji asked him to sit on the sofa first and poured a glass of water next to him. “You sit here for a while and I’ll change my clothes.”
After all, he was also a decent actor. He didn’t want to wear a bathrobe to entertain guests.
After Gu Wuji left, the man sitting on the sofa immediately looked around carefully, thinking about where to put the things in his hands. As long as he could find a place to install the pinhole camera hidden in his bag, he won’t be afraid of a careless scandal. At least the secret lover won’t be able to escape.
Besides, the man surnamed Tao never thought that there would be any clean people in the entertainment industry. Even if Gu Wuji seemed to live a simple life and look like a monk, there must be something wrong with him.
However, he also noticed that the room was not only ordinary, but also completely shabby, and the surrounding furniture also had a strange feeling at first glance.
“No matter what, the result is the same.” The man surnamed Tao was about to stand up, but suddenly he was startled, “What’s going on? Did the things on the cabinet just shake?”
….
At this time, the people from the Ning family who were watching over here also became excited.
After all, apart from Cheng Jia, no one had ever entered Gu Wuji’s house during this period of time. This time, a new man came. Could this be their breakthrough?
But then, they faintly realized that this man seemed to be just an ordinary person.
The people of the Ning family couldn’t help but look at each other. Even when they entered Gu Wuji’s home, they had to think carefully, but this ordinary person actually went in directly like this. Wasn’t he looking for death!
But it would be nice if they could take this opportunity to see what was going on.
You must know that they had been here for so long without getting any news. The family was impatient and had already set the Xia family’s gathering as the deadline.
If it didn’t work by then, they would all be held accountable, and no one wanted this to happen. But even so, they didn’t dare to risk their lives and enter Gu Wuji’s home…
The man surnamed Tao didn’t take the vibration on the cabinet seriously. He thought it might just be an illusion.
“Compared with these, it’s better to do it quickly, so as not to get into trouble when you come out and call the police after seeing something.”
Taking a deep breath, the man surnamed Tao was about to take out the tools from the bag, but the next moment, there was suddenly a crisp sound behind his ear, as if something fell to the floor in the kitchen and rolled around a few times.
“Does Gu Wuji raise any pets?”
The man surnamed Tao did not take this matter seriously but was about to put the tools on the cabinet here, but he suddenly saw the reflection on the cabinet glass and saw a pair of scarlet eyes.
He almost screamed and turned around in shock but saw nothing. There was nothing behind him, not even anything that could create a visual illusion.
“Then, what is that?”
The man surnamed Tao couldn’t help feeling numb. He retreated to the sofa and sat down timidly. He immediately remembered what he learned when he inquired about the situation in the community…
It was said that the apartment Gu Wuji lived in had been a haunted house in the past, so it was rented to Gu Wuji at a cheap price. Otherwise, with Gu Wuji’s previous income, it would have been impossible to live in such a high-end community for such a long time.
Although nothing happened to Gu Wuji after he settled here, people in the community often heard inexplicable noises coming from inside when Gu Wuji was not at home, and they deeply suspected that it was haunted by someone, so even the people from property management didn’t dare to go in.
Previously, the man surnamed Tao simply didn’t believe that there were ghosts in this world. The noises these people heard must have been caused by Gu Wuji doing something. He probably deliberately created rumors of hauntings so that people would not dare to approach him, lest his identity be exposed.
But after he entered, the man named Tao suddenly felt something strange in the room, which made him tremble with fear.
“What on earth am I thinking about?” The man surnamed Tao suddenly came to his senses and felt that his reaction was too strange. He immediately pinched the water glass in front of him and wanted to take a sip of hot water to calm down, but when the water was put into his mouth, at that moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something like roots inside.
Was this still tea? But what Gu Wuji poured out just now was obviously just ordinary water…
“Wait a minute!”
The man surnamed Tao took a closer look and saw that the things in the tea were clearly black hairs, and even these hairs were… constantly squirming, as if it was trying to get into his mouth and nose.
In panic, the teacup in the man’s hand fell to the ground. He gasped for air, but there was nothing except tea in the broken tea cup.
“Then, what on earth is that…how did I see hair in the teacup? Am I already crazy? Or is there really…a ghost here…”
Gu Wuji heard the noise and hurriedly changed his clothes. He walked out and was a little surprised when he saw this scene, “What’s going on? I just went to change clothes, what happened?”
Although there were quite a lot of ghosts in this house, they were all friendly. Ghosts generally did not intentionally scare people. The reason why Cheng Jia was shocked before was because his behavior was regarded by the ghosts as robbing them of their job.
The man surnamed Tao was startled by Gu Wuji’s sudden appearance, but after seeing him, the atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed less scary, and he immediately calmed down.
No matter how weird it was, Gu Wuji was still an ordinary person. As long as he could deal with him, there should be no problem.
“Nothing, nothing.” The man surnamed Tao quickly covered the contents of the bag behind him and showed an apologetic smile to Gu Wuji, “This is all because I was too careless. I will definitely pay for the money for the tea cup, and I will also clean up the ground right away.”
Gu Wuji quickly tried to stop him, but the man named Tao picked up the mop as if he was afraid that Gu Wuji would stop him.
The next moment, the room suddenly became colder. An unsettling creaking sound came from the balcony door behind him. There was no one in the kitchen next to him, but the faucet was inexplicably turned on. The sound of water dripping became more and more urgent, which made people feel uncomfortable. He indeed felt uneasy.
The man surnamed Tao felt that his actions seemed to turn on some switch, but he clearly didn’t do anything, he just took a mop…
Then he suddenly felt that the thing he was holding didn’t feel right, and he looked down, there was a head at the bottom of the mop! Those eyes were still staring straight at him.
The man surnamed Tao screamed, threw away the mop and fell onto the sofa behind him.
“See I told you, the person who cleans the room is still very grumpy.” Gu Wuji sighed.
At this time, in the eyes of the man surnamed Tao, Gu Wuji’s face was extremely pale, and his eyes were dark and lifeless. Although the smile he showed made his face extremely gorgeous, there was an indescribable and creepy feeling to it.
“Are you okay?” Gu Wuji asked in a friendly manner.
In fact, Gu Wuji had long thought that the lighting in his hall should be renovated. The lighting in this position seemed to make people’s faces look a bit weird, but after all, it was a rented house, so Gu Wuji was too lazy to take care of that much…which led to the current situation.
“I, I…” The man surnamed Tao couldn’t help but swallow. Fear made his body stiffen to the extreme, and his mind went blank. He suddenly felt that his behavior in coming here was completely wrong!
Who was this Gu Wuji? He was simply a ghost! No wonder no one had gotten any dirty information about Gu Wuji before. Even when the scandal broke out last time, everything was resolved quickly…
It wasn’t just the Cheng family who was behind this, but Gu Wuji himself. These strange things about Gu Wuji’s body may make those who might have wanted to investigate him end up in trouble.
Sure enough, he was right. There was something wrong with Gu Wuji, but this was not an ordinary problem at all, but something about being haunted!
In this situation of extreme fear, he could no longer think about why Gu Wuji, a ghost, could still go out to film movies and other things. He only hated himself for how he had come to this ghost place. He just wanted to leave right now! As for the financial backer, he could look for whoever he liked, but he would never dare to come here again!
The man surnamed Tao forced a smile, wanting to say that he should leave already, but his hand accidentally touched the bag he had brought, and the tools and other things inside immediately fell to the floor.
The air in the room froze for a moment.
The man surnamed Tao was suffocating. He felt like a cannon fodder in a horror movie who would die here soon! To actually reveal his true purpose of coming here in front of such a terrifying person as Gu Wuji…
Gu Wuji’s eyes fell on those tools, his expression changed slightly, and he asked in confusion: “Mr. Tao, what are these? Does it look like something that a real estate agent would bring?”
Although Gu Wuji was just asking a question, in panic, the man surnamed Tao felt that Gu Wuji’s tone was no different than urging him to die, and he immediately rushed out and said, “I’ll say it, I will explain everything! Someone ordered me to come here!! Please spare me -“
Gu Wuji: “?”
