Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Murderous Intent in the Haunted House_1

A white Bentley drove from one end of the aisle and parked behind the Audi.

The car door was pushed open.

Zhang Xian and Dong Qian clambered out one after another.

It was noon, and a lot of students were coming in and out of the school gate. Zhang Xian’s handsome appearance and Dong Qian’s pure beauty immediately attracted the attention of many.

The white Bentley parked quietly to the side, its noble and elegant appearance, akin to that of a princess, also drew many admiring glances.

Luxury car, beautiful lady, all the typical trappings of a rich, good-looking guy.

"Sister Qian, Brother-in-law." Gao Longfei darted towards Zhang Xian, grinning.

Shen Nanshan and Xu Lei also dashed over. The former chuckled, "Brother-in-law, why did you only bring Sister Qian today? Where are the rest of your ladies?"

"Isn’t that obvious?" Xu Lei scoffed, "Brother-in-law left all the other ladies at home and just brought Sister Qian. It’s clear enough, why bother asking?"

Dong Qian blushed at his words but didn’t object, rather, she seemed pleased.

Though she knew Zhang Xian had called her out just to borrow her car, she still enjoyed the feeling of being alone with him.

"If you guys don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute." Zhang Xian shot a glance at Xu Lei and Shen Nanshan.

"Exactly." Xu Hui jumped out, grabbed Shen Nanshan’s ear, and asked, "Brother Nan, do you also want to be like brother-in-law, with several dearest on either side?"

"No... no, I wouldn’t dare!" Shen Nanshan chuckled, "Having you is enough for me!"

Zhang Xian looked at Xu Hui, his face full of resignation.

Xu Hui realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly tried to make amends, "Brother, I didn’t mean anything by it, it’s impressive that you’re able to handle so many."

"Hui Hui, can you please stop talking nonsense?" Fang Yanjuan frowned.

"Ah, Brother, I... I really didn’t mean anything, I was just..."

"Enough." Meng Xue also shot Xu Hui a warning look.

"I... I really didn’t mean it, I was just..." Xu Hui, on the verge of tears, looked pathetically at Zhang Xian, "Bro, I really didn’t mean it."

"It’s fine." Zhang Xian patted Xu Hui on the head, smiled, and asked, "Is that pretty girl over there your friend?"

"Yes, her name is Fong Yu. She’s our sister." Xu Hui started to smile again when she saw that Zhang Xian was not angry.

"Hi, Brother Zhang Xian." Fong Yu walked over and greeted him warmly.

Zhang Xian nodded and smiled in reply. However, he felt something was off about Fong Yu. She appeared unnatural, as if something was bothering her.

Since it was their first meeting, he did not pry and instead ushered everyone into the car and headed straight for Happy Valley.

...

In a room at Happy Valley in Tiandu City.

A young man sat on the sofa, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his face twisted in a wicked grin.

Across from him, a group of middle-aged men in suits stood in a row, wearing sunglasses, their hair slicked back, so shiny that not even a fly could land on it.

Taking a deep drag on his cigarette, the young man exhaled smoke and asked, "How’s the arrangement of events I asked for coming along?"

"Young Master, everything has been arranged properly. We are just waiting for the attendees."

"Very good." The young man nodded in satisfaction, "This time, I must make that guy suffer."

"Young Master, I’m a little worried that woman might cause some trouble." One of the middle-aged men came forward, "If she leaks anything and considering Zhang Xian’s power, we won’t be able to handle him."

"Dare she?" The young man spoke with confidence, "Don’t forget, the lives of that woman’s parents are in our hands!"

...

Zhang Xian wasn’t particularly interested in the various amusements within the amusement park. Gao Longfei, Xu Lei, and Shen Nanshan also had little interest.

Under the relentless persuasion of the ladies, however, they had no choice but to join in the fun.

"Mmm, we haven’t tried the roller coaster yet." After they got off the Ferris wheel, Meng Xue suggested with a smile.

"Well, the roller coaster isn’t fun. Let’s not go on it." Xu Lei proposed with a smile, "That’s a thrill ride for kids, why should we endure that?"

"You’re afraid?" Fang Yanjuan asked.

"Hell no! What are you talking about? Do you really believe I would be afraid?" Xu Lei grumbled.

"Then let’s go!" Xu Hui chirped.

"Uhm, you guys go! I don’t really like that thing." Xu Lei didn’t feel like going.

"Don’t tell me you’re really scared?" Zhang Xian asked with a laugh.

"No..."

"Then let’s go!" Fang Yanjuan said impatiently, "Stop dilly-dallying like an old woman."

"I... I’m not going." Xu Lei turned his head away.

"This guy is definitely afraid." Shen Nanshan chuckled, grabbed Xu Lei’s shirt, and dragged him towards the roller coasters.

As expected, Xu Lei clung tightly to a nearby pillar, absolutely refusing to let go, "Jeez, let go of me! If you guys want to go, then go without me, don’t drag me with you."

Gao Longfei, seeing the situation, also became interested and started dragging Xu Lei towards the roller coasters.

"Damn it, Brother-in-law, save me... save me... how can you stand by as I’m being dragged into hell?" Xu Lei’s face filled with horror as he began to bellow in fear, his cry was as chilling as if he was about to be executed.

Zhang Xian laughed without intending to lend a hand.

Not long after, a heart-wrenching scream burst from the roller coaster, the sound reaching into the sky, utterly chilling.

"Damn, this guy really is a bumpkin, even a roller coaster can scare the shit out of him." Shen Nanshan wiped cold sweat off his forehead, derision written all over his face.

"Is that so?" Xu Hui turned to look at Shen Nanshan, "Why are you shaking then?"

"I...I’m not shaking!" Shen Nanshan, leaning against a pole, struck a pose with a beaming smile, "Don’t you see I’m standing perfectly still?"

Xu Hui narrowed her eyes, turned away, and moved forward.

"Damn it, what are you shaking for?" Shen Nanshan, looking down at his legs trembling uncontrollably, cried out with vexation, "You are ruining my reputation for bravery!"

"Damn it, hold me..." Gao Longfei staggered over and leaned on Shen Nanshan, "That damn ride is no ride for humans!"

"Get lost, I need someone to support me too!" Shen Nanshan said, shoving Gao Longfei aside, "Where’s that dumbass Xu Lei?"

"Still up there, refusing to come down."

Turning to look, Shen Nanshan finally laughed. Xu Lei was far worse off than him! The guy could hardly even stand.

"These three idiots really..." Zhang Xian chuckled ruefully, then turned to Dong Qian and asked, "Qianqian, are you all right? Can you walk by yourself?"

"I’m fine." Dong Qian shook her head, "I’ve been on this ride before, it doesn’t scare me."

Hearing this, Xu Lei hung his head in shame. He, who feared nothing in the world, had been laid low by this damn roller coaster. He decided never to ride this wretched thing again.

...

After fooling around in Happy Valley, the group eventually stood before the Ghost House.

Picturing the bizarrely constructed gate of the Ghost House, Xu Lei, Gao Longfei, and Shen Nanshan finally managed a laugh. Now, they would finally get a chance to play the heroes, right?

Although they had never been here before, they heard this Ghost House was remarkably spooky, extremely high on the fear index.

"We’re really going in?" asked Meng Xue.

"Of course." Fong Yu laughed, "How can you come to Happy Valley without entering the Ghost House?"

"It feels a bit eerie, like it’s very scary." Xu Hui proposed.

"Would you call it a ghost house if it weren’t scary? Let’s go in and have a look." Fong Yu insisted on going. The idea of visiting the ghost house was proposed by her, not originally part of the plan.

Dong Qian peered into the ghost house, then clutched Zhang Xian’s arm, "Brother Zhang Xian, I’m scared."

"It’s all right. I’m here." Zhang Xian said, smiling.

As for the Ghost House, he had never been in one, but he had encountered one or two genuine ghosts before, and they were not as terrifying as people often described. Of course, if it was an evil spirit, that would be a different story.

The evil spirit that hovered over Shen Jailin last time was nothing more than child’s play. Some powerful evil spirits were far more terrifying than that little creature.

"Let’s go!" Fong Yu was the first to head towards the Ghost House.

Helpless, Meng Xue, Xu Hui, and Fang Yanjuan, had to pull along Gao Longfei, Xu Lei, Shen Nanshan and follow.

Gao Longfei and the others seemed to be greatly enjoying the situation. Once inside, who knew what kind of opportunities there might be to take advantage of? Such chances didn’t come around often! Fong Yu was just getting cuter.

"Let’s go too!" Zhang Xian held Dong Qian’s hand and headed towards the Ghost House.

Dong Qian was a bit frightened. As Zhang Xian held her hand, a wave of inexplicable happiness surged in her heart, and her face instantly blushed.

"Reporting, target has entered, please prepare."

Not far away, a middle-aged man holding a walkie-talkie sported a sinister grin as Zhang Xian and others entered the Ghost House.

...

Inside the Ghost House, it was gloomy and cold with eerie music whispering amongst the chill winds.

Walking into the Ghost House made the girls’ hearts race, giving them the urge to turn tail and run. They weren’t the type seeking alternative thrills. There was no need for this torture.

"Hmm? Something’s off!" Upon entering the Ghost House, Zhang Xian spread out his divine sense. This allowed him to see everything within a thirty-meter radius.

He noticed that the staff in the Ghost House were very unprofessional and were hiding some sort of bladed weapon.

Before coming in, he had heard from Fong Yu that the Ghost House of Happy Valley was extremely popular and realistic. Could they have made this fundamental mistake?

"Brother Zhang Xian, what’s wrong?" Dong Qian asked.

"Nothing, let’s go." Zhang Xian wrapped an arm around Dong Qian’s waist and briskly lead her to the front of the group.

Grabbing Zhang Xian’s arm, Dong Qian asked, "Brother Zhang Xian, why...why are you leading me to the front? If a ghost suddenly appears, wouldn’t I be scared to death?"

Zhang Xian shook his head and gestured for Dong Qian to stop.

Ahead, a staff member was already in position to scare people. His intentions, however, seemed to go beyond a simple scare. He was holding a shiny dagger.

"SWOOSH..."

Suddenly, a dark figure sprang out. With unkempt hair and a blood-smeared face, he had no eyes in his empty sockets. A terrifying sight, indeed.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

Several screams echoed abruptly. Aside from Fong Yu, the girls rushed into the arms of the men closest to them.

"Die..."

At the same moment, the figure’s crimson lips curved subtly. He stepped forward, the cold light in his hand flashing, directing the sharp dagger straight for Zhang Xian’s throat.
