Volume 1 Chapter 169 The Scared Man
Bai Jinshi's words were not all lies, early the next morning, Gu Le arrived at the empty living room and a table of bland breakfast. The fastest update βrad eight β with the hot air bubbling on it, it should have been bought not long ago.
There were no traces of strangers at home, which made Gu Le's mood relax a little - it should have been yesterday that he was uncomfortable, but he didn't expect this Bai Jin to be very considerate.
After a simple breakfast, I received a call from Bai Jinshi, saying that I would take her back to Bai's house today. After hanging up the phone, Gu Le had doubts about what he said last nightβcould it really be that this time he was really just to solve the Bai family's housework.
However, half an hour later, a car stopped at the door, Bai Jin did not directly take the key to open the door, but knocked on the door a few times, as if this house was not his own home, which made Gu Le's heart relax a little.
The two of them returned to the Bai family together, Bai Jin did not take the initiative to speak along the way, and Gu Le's mood was also chaotic, so it was quiet and silent all the way, and no one wanted to speak. The car went very fast, but after a while, it came to a quaint and huge house.
Although from the appearance, this house has traces of a certain age, but from the external materials alone, it can be seen that this is a very old house.
After opening the door, Bai Jinshi thoughtfully explained: "Grandpa is in the main house now, and his health has been very bad recently, so it's best not to disturb him." β
Gu Le nodded, knowing what he meant. Now the internal estimation of the Bai family is very unstable, she guessed whether her identity was caught by some political enemies of the Bai family, and she decided to make this matter public in desperation.
As soon as she entered the door, Gu Le was surprised to find that the old housekeeper was actually staying in the old mansion, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks. The old housekeeper came and bowed to her, and said very respectfully: "Sister Gu, welcome home." β
Gu Le was very surprised by the change in his attitude, and heard the old housekeeper explain: "Now there is no one in the house in City A, and the servants over there have also moved here, so Sister Gu doesn't have to worry about not being used to it." β
Gu Le really didn't worry much about such a question, and heard the old housekeeper continue: "In the past, we didn't treat Sister Gu well, I hope Sister Gu doesn't mind." β
Gu Le was even more surprised when he heard this, compared to the last time there was a change of washing within the family, this time the housekeeper's attitude had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he became very respectful from the inside out, which made Gu Le couldn't help but feel - could it be that this family was really occupied by some evil demon?
While she was hesitating, she heard a gentle voice say, "Butler, you are tired too, stand down." β
Gu Le could clearly see that the housekeeper's body seemed to tremble, and then bowed respectfully twice, and then hurriedly left, as if there were countless flood beasts chasing behind him.
Could it be that there is something to be afraid and afraid of Bai Jinshi? This made Gu Le couldn't help but look back at the person in the suit and leather shoes in front of him, and after coming into contact with the other party's puzzled eyes, Gu Le smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's okay, I just feel that I haven't seen him in the past few days, and the family has changed a lot." β
Bai Jinshi nodded and said, "I'll take you to see your father, he should be able to explain your doubts." β
When Gu Le heard this, her expression immediately became serious, and she went upstairs with Bai Jinshi, but when she arrived at the head of the Bai family, she was still stunned for a while. I haven't seen him for a few days in the blink of an eye, Bai Shi seems to be a lot older, if it weren't for Bai Jinshi's introduction, he would even think that this is Old Man Bai.
Bai Feng also arrived at them quickly, turned his head and hesitated, and when he looked at Shang Gu Le, a few wisps of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
"Lele, Jinshi, are you back?"
Gu Le felt more and more that something was wrong, and then he suddenly realized where this strange place wasβwhether it was from the housekeeper just now, or the servants passing by, or even from this Bai Fenglai, they all seemed to be a little afraid of Bai Jin, could it be that there was really any major secret in this person?!
Thinking of this, Gu Le still closed his gaze quietly, smiled at Bai Feng and said, "Hello." β
Bai Feng looked at her with those cloudy eyes for a few seconds, and suddenly sighed: "Yes, the child made you suffer, our Bai family couldn't stand you before, I hope you don't mind." β
Gu Le reluctantly showed a flattered expression, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, the original agreement between you and our family was not to disclose the news, I don't have any dissatisfaction in my heart, and you don't have to mind so much." β
Bai Feng let out a soft "hmm", and he didn't know if he had heard it in his heart, so he slowly closed his eyes.
Gu Le wanted to continue to say a few words to him and bring out any information, but Bai Jinshi took a step ahead and stood in the middle of the two people, revealing a gentle smile: "Recently, my father has worked too hard to take care of grandpa, not to mention that it is too late now, you need to rest, you should rest early, I will take you to grandpa in a while." β
In someone else's home, Gu Le could only smile and nod yes, and when she was about to leave the room, she also kept an eye on it, and pasted a talisman on the wall of the house, even if she supervised the movements in the house.
When he walked out of the room, Bai Jinshi did not invite any housekeepers and servants to lead Gu Le to the guest room, but led him to the guest room by himself, and when Gu Le was a little puzzled, he explained: "The servants here are all new here, and they are not particularly familiar with this place, I am afraid that they will not take good care of them." β
Gu Le shook his head and said, "It's okay, I don't need to take care of it, I was so tired the first two days that I want to rest for a while, I hope no one will disturb me." β
Bai Jin saw that she looked really tired, and she didn't mean to continue to bother her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I will inform the servants in the house to ask them not to disturb you." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "When the meal is warmed in the pot, you can just come down and eat it after you have rested." β
Gu Le nodded, thanked him, and went back to his room. I don't know what's wrong, even if Bai Jin is so considerate of her emotions, she still has a vague feeling of discomfort when facing Bai Jin, and she has the urge to stay away directly.
My instinct tells me that it's better not to have more contact with this unpredictable person.
Back in the room, Gu Le packed up his bed and disguised himself as sleeping, then he took out a talisman from his pocket and flicked his fingers, and the talisman floated in the air as if it were alive.
Gu Le was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a little bad feeling came out of it. - It was a very cold, resentful, and unwilling emotion, like a thin and dense thread that was constantly winding, making people feel like they couldn't breathe.
Gu Le took a deep breath, and only then did he come back to his senses from that desperate feeling, and he heard a terrible hissing sound suddenly coming from the talisman.
The sound was like a fingernail on a plank, a quick, short screeching sound that filled people's ears and made them tingle and hurt. If it was an ordinary person, he would have lost his mind because he couldn't stand this noise, but Gu Le was someone who had experienced a terrifying phantom array in the Three Realms Cave Gate, so he could easily overcome these negative emotions.
She continued to listen patiently, and found that the hoarse roars seemed to come out of the human throat, starting from the fragmented noise and slowly concatenating into an incomplete sentence.
"No...... No...... Kill me. β
"I'm going to ......"
- Is it a blank seal?!
After coming up with such an idea, Gu Le felt a little incredulous in his heart, although Bai Feng's appearance just now was a little decadent, but he was obviously a normal person, and he would never make such a ghostly crying wolf noise.
Could it be that some terrible ghost is possessing him? After this thought came to mind, Gu Le's expression became serious.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the call become urgent, as if she had come into contact with some extremely terrible object, and her voice rose an octave.
"No...... You can't do this to me?! Ahhh
The sound behind him stopped abruptly as if it had been choked, Gu Le's heart jumped violently, and he turned over and sat up from the bed. She walked out of the room with her shoes on, wanting to take a look inside the white sealed room. However, as soon as he walked down the stairs to look back and forth to determine the location, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
Gu Le was taken aback, and when he turned around, he found that it was Bai Jinshi. His face was a little not good, and when Gu Le's eyes turned, he returned to his usual indifferent appearance.
"Didn't you go back to your room to rest, something was left behind?"
Gu Le knew that she couldn't see Bai Feng behind this person's back today, she tried her best to make her attitude more natural, nodded towards Bai Jin and said, "I'm going to go to Mr. Bai to ask about something, I almost forgot just now." β
Bai Jin hesitated for a moment, and didn't seem to expect Gu Le's answer to be so frank. He nodded and said, "Okay, I got it." I'll take you with me. β
Gu Le knew that he couldn't get rid of this person today, so he nodded and followed Bai Jin's guidance back to the Bai family's head's house. As soon as she entered the door, Gu Le caught a glimpse of the talisman she had added to the concealment talisman that had turned into a scorched black at this time, and her heart jumped violently, knowing that the actions she had made should have been discovered.
She resisted the impulse to go to Bai Jin and walked into the room first, but to her surprise, Bai Feng was not any different, but compared to just now, his expression became a little tired, and there were obvious dark circles on his eyes slightly closed, and there were traces of not sleeping well for a long time.
