    Many years ago, when Ye Chen was still young, the Ye family was just an ordinary business family.

     

    Father Ye had a unique vision and caught up with the business trend of the 1990s. He quickly developed and made a small fortune, but he still lacked some luck.

     

    As soon as the money arrives, there will always be some accidents, and the money at hand scatters. This happened several times, and as a business genius, Father Ye couldn’t stand the losses.

     

    The people around Father Ye followed him to make money, and they all developed, only the Ye family remained in the same situation.

     

    After the successive blows to the Ye couple, they were influenced by the people around them into gradually believing in gods and Buddha, and superstitions.

     

    “This master is surnamed Zheng, and he is very famous in the Hong Kong circle. According to him, the Ye family was already superstitious to the point of obsession by the time he was introduced to the Ye family.” Yu Ning said.

     

    They became superstitious because of money, so naturally, they were seeking money.

     

    Father Ye had bad luck, and had tried all the methods on the market to no avail. He then decided to go off the beaten path, and tried some evil ways.

     

    Coincidentally, Mother Ye was pregnant with twins at this time.

     

    Their financial situation was not bleak at that time, and Mother Ye’s pregnancy was in a precarious state. Her physique was poor, resulting in poor fetal development. Before the children were born, the doctor advised Mother Ye to abort one of the fetuses, and leave the strong one. The fetus would continue developing, and the chances of giving birth to a healthy child were stronger.

     

    The Ye family intended to do so, until they accidentally learned of a way to seek wealth. They gave one of their children as a sacrifice to exorcise evil spirits and attract wealth. The dead fetus was refined into a wealth spirit child to protect the Ye family and give them a lifetime of wealth.

     

    Ji Mingxia’s eyes went wide when he heard this: “The healthy fetus was Ye Tian, while her sister was refined into a wealth attracting spirit child?”

     

    “No, the younger sister was the healthy one.” Yu Ning said.

     

    The deeper the resentment of the spirit child, the stronger the ability to attract wealth.

     

    The healthy fetus had more vitality since conception. It went through a lot of trouble to be fertilized and formed, drew nutrients to develop healthily, and gradually took human form after weeks of pregnancy.

     

    She was about to come to this world but was killed and refined into a spirit child at the last moment. Only in this way could she explode into a deep resentment, and the Ye family could maximize this to eliminate bad luck and bring wealth to them.

     

    Ji Mingxia was shocked.

     

    When it was discovered that the Ye family was haunted and trapped, Ji Mingxia knew that something within the Ye family had brought this about.

     

    But he never imagined that the Ye family would be as crazy as this.

     

    “On the day the baby was born, the blood was used to make a talisman, the bones were burned into ashes and sprinkled in all corners of the old mansion to calm the house and attract wealth.” Yu Ning said.

     

    Since then, the Ye family strangely skyrocketed. They won hundreds of battles in the business world, and accumulated a lot of wealth in a very short period of time. After creating the Yusen Group, they officially became a rich and powerful family.

     

    As the weaker twin, Ye Tian should not have survived, but since moving into the Ye family’s mansion, Ye Tian’s body miraculously improved. By the time she turned one, she had completely recovered her health and looked no different from an ordinary child.

     

    For more than ten years, everything went smoothly for the Ye family, and Ye Tian grew up carefree in such a privileged environment. That was until she felt she was in frequent danger.

     

    Ji Mingxia nodded, everything made sense now.

     

    The Ye family didn’t hesitate to kill their daughter to attract wealth, and although it smoothly drove away bad luck and brought wealth, it also had disadvantages.

     

    That endless wealth, and Ye Tian’s increasingly healthy body seemed like a gift from the dead child, but it was actually composed of endless resentment.

     

    Although the baby had resentment, she was unable to do anything to the Ye family since there was no mysterious item. This allowed the Ye family to spend more than ten years in peace.

     

    Until Ye Tian made her debut and accidentally got a meteorite ……that is, a special mysterious item.

     

    The unknown energy in the mysterious item was able to combine with the human mind and transform into a tangible ghost.

     

    That baby’s blood was drained into a talisman, and ashes were sprinkled in every corner of the Ye family. It seemed as if all traces of her were completely gone, but her twin sister, Ye Tian, was still in this world and they were connected by blood.

     

    Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but remember when he first met Ye Tian.  She said that she felt the prying eyes all the time.

     

    Even in an empty room, it felt as if there was someone hiding in the shadows, always staring at her.

     

    This person was undoubtedly Ye Tian’s sister.

     

    Besides, there was an explanation for Ye Tian’s madness today.

     

    The teacher asked the students to draw a self-portrait, and for Ye Tian, there was not only her soul inside her, or rather another pair of eyes staring at her all the time.

     

    The self-portrait caused Ye Tian to collapse. Her private pictures were exposed which led Ye Chen to start an investigation, and it was confirmed that Ye Tian had authorized the secret photos to be taken.

     

    The person who authorized this was actually not Ye Tian, but Ye Tian’s sister.

     

    As for everything that happened in the dormitory tonight.. 

     

    Restoring each unit to that of the Ye family mansion, gathering all the Ye family members for a bloody birthday feast, every action told of that dead baby’s bitter grievances.

     

    “To be able to come up with such a hurtful way to seek money, you have to be prepared to suffer retaliation.” Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but say.He originally felt that the Ye family was pitiful, but after listening to the truth of that year, Ji Mingxia only felt that the resentful spirit was too slow to strike.

     

    Except for Ye Tian, Ye Chen and the four very innocent bodyguards, the rest were really insidious.

     

    When the seed of evil was planted, it was only natural to taste the evil fruit.

     

    Master Zheng, who was leaning against the sofa and gasping for breath, felt Ji Mingxia’s disgusted stare and quickly waved his hand: “No, it’s not me, I’m innocent…”

     

    “You weren’t involved in that incident back then?” Ji Mingxia asked rhetorically, expressing her disbelief.

     

    In this “birthday feast”, the resentful spirit seemed to hate this master Zheng the most.

     

    Otherwise, he would not be tied and made into a birthday cake.

     

    If Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen came in a little later, this Master Zheng would have already been dismembered.

     

    The master hurriedly defended himself, but halfway through, he realized that Ji Mingxia could not speak Cantonese so he changed to non-standard Mandarin. With difficulty, he stumbled through his explanation: “The Ye family gave me money …… for me to do the deed, I did not know that the lump of meat…was a human being ah!”

     

    “So you made the talisman and scattered the ashes?” Ji Mingxia quickly asked.

     

    Master Zheng was at a loss for words. He kept quiet for a long time, and was just about to continue his sophistry, when the faint sound of an alarm came from the distance.

     

    Yu Ning had called the police earlier, and it seemed that the police were arriving soon.

     

    Ji Mingxia said, “Take your time to explain to the police.”

     

    Master Zheng’s face turned white when he heard this.

     

    Ji Mingxia was so upset by what happened back then that he didn’t want to listen to this Master Zheng’s excuses anymore, so he directly pulled Yu Ning downstairs and prepared to wait for the police in the courtyard.

     

    Unexpectedly, the courtyard was empty, and the gate lock was still locked.

     

    Although the power of the mysterious item had disappeared, the locked gate would not open automatically. Someone had to unlock the gate from outside so that it could open.

     

    Ji Mingxia froze for a moment and turned his head to look at Yu Ning: “Yu Ning, did you lock this gate?”

     

    “I came in from the wall.” Yu Ning said.

     

    The wall of the courtyard was two meters high, and it was impossible for an ordinary person to Jump, but this was naturally not a difficult task for Yu Ning.

     

    Ji Mingxia looked at the empty courtyard and muttered, “Then where did Ye Chen go ……”

     

    Ji Mingxia suddenly remembered something, and gasped. He turned around and ran towards the dormitory building.

     

    He quickly came to the elevator, and pressed the up button. The elevator which had stopped at the ground floor immediately opened.

     

    Ye Chen was lying inside the elevator and his eyes were staring at the ceiling blankly, as if his soul had been taken away.

     

    “Ye Chen!” Ji Mingxia hurriedly went to Ye Chen’s side. His body was twitching every now and then, as if he was caught in a nightmare. Ji Mingxia hurriedly helped him up and then patted his face to wake him up.

     

    Ye Chen struggled for a moment, and it was only when Ji Mingxia’s hand touched his skin that Ye Chen gradually woke up.

     

    His face was white and covered with cold sweat, like he had just come up from a walk in hell. It was only when he saw Ji Mingxia that Ye Chen came to his senses completely: “Mingxia ……”

     

    Ji Mingxia looked at him with concern: “Are you okay, can you still stand up?”

     

    He said, intending to help Ye Chen get up and go out from the elevator, but unexpectedly, Ye Chen hugged him the next instant.

     

    “I thought …… I was going to die here.” Ye Chen whispered.

     

    Half an hour ago, when Ji Mingxia was facing Ye Tian, Ye Chen who was standing in the elevator realized that it was also not a safe place. In order not to distract Ji Mingxia, he chose to close the elevator in silence.

     

    The originally 1, 2, 3 floors, had become non-existent -1, -2, -3 floors.

     

    Ye Tian had encountered such a situation before, and was fortunately rescued by Ji Mingxia, but Ye Chen was not so lucky. The elevator went down floor by floor, and all kinds of terrifying things followed.

     

    He fell into a heavy darkness, as if he had returned to a childhood full of sorrow.

     

    Details of memories he had long forgotten came flooding back, and his dead sister hid in the shadows, quietly watching him.

     

    Despair engulfed him, and Ye Chen struggled for a moment, eventually sinking into the memories and almost choosing to kill himself.

     

    Just when he was about to kill himself in his memories, Ji Mingxia suddenly woke him up.

     

    Ye Chen hugged Ji Mingxia tightly, only to feel that he was warm all over and pulled himself from the painful memories and back to the real world.

     

    “It’s all over now, don’t be afraid.” Ji Mingxia comforted him in a low voice.

     

    To Ye Chen, Ji Mingxia was really too experienced.

     

    In the previous adventures, Ji Mingxia’s mental journey was similar to Ye Chen's, only that he looked calmer on the surface.

     

    So seeing Ye Chen like this made Ji Mingxia feel like he was seeing his past self, and he couldn’t help but feel a little sympathetic.

     

    Ye Chen listened to Ji Mingxia’s voice of comfort, and his heart grew even warmer. A surge of emotions rose up in his chest, and he could not help but  emotionally say, “When I was about to die, my heart’s only regret was that I involved you in this matter. Mingxia, although we have not been in contact for a long time, I actually like…”

     

    Just as Ye Chen was about to express his inner feelings, he suddenly felt an icy gaze fall on him.
