Chapter 54: Turning the Face
A small shadow attached to the swing, faintly visible, could not see what it was.
"Lu Xiuyao, is that you?" I asked in a low voice.
"Haha~" the little girl's laughter.
The Trojan moves on its own, followed by the slide, and things keep falling from the top of the slide, accumulating more and more!
"Don't be mischievous!" I said to her. "I'm here to help you!"
All the illusions suddenly vanished, and only a small white figure flashed through the labyrinth.
"Lu Xiuyao, I'm here to help you!" I hurried after her, but she was moving fast and I struggled to keep up with her.
"Sun Yang? Did you find anything? Lu Xiaoling asked again on the walkie-talkie.
"I see her! I walk towards the pond from the garden north! ”
"Hold on, I'll be right here!" Lu Xiaoling shouted.
I sprinted forward with all my might, but after running through the bushes, there was nothing in front of me.
A maid was coming from the other side of the water corridor.
"Excuse me, did you just see anything?" I asked as I ran to her.
"What's that?" She asked, a little confused.
"That's it...... It's your young lady......" I didn't know how to express it, so I could only say it in the end.
"You mean...... Xiuyao? Her eyes widened.
I nodded, the woman was about thirty years old, thin as a piece of firewood.
"Isn't she right behind you?" She asked, surprised.
Depend on!
In the midst of a giggle, a powerful force suddenly pushed me, causing me to climb over the fence and fall into the pond.
Bottomless!
I tried my best to swim, but the current seemed to never end, and no matter how hard I tried, the surface of the water was always above me, I could see it, but I couldn't touch it.
The air in my chest became less and less, and I felt myself gradually unable to hold it back, and finally the water rushed into my nostrils and pierced my lungs like needles.
Am I going to die?
Suddenly, someone grabbed me from above and pulled me out of the water, and the long-lost air immediately drove the water out, and woke me up from my despair.
There was a dog's barking around, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was a security guard who had grabbed me, and Lu Xiaoling was standing beside him with a pale face.
I turned my head to look at the pond, which was so clear that the water was never more than 30 centimeters deep.
"What just happened?" I asked.
"You've been desperately burrowing into the water, and you can't shout." Lu Xiaoling said. "We see that you've started choking, so we can only drag you out."
Someone hurriedly brought a big towel, the cold wind blew, I shivered with cold, they sent me back to the mansion, turned the air conditioner to the highest temperature, and found dry clothes.
Lu Yunwen, Li Yao and others were also woken up and rushed over in pajamas.
"What just happened?" This time, Lu Xiaoling asked me.
When I told them what had happened, their faces became solemn.
"What does that woman look like?" Li Yao asked.
"Very thin, ...... with long hair"
"Is that what it looks like?" Lu Yunwen suddenly opened the ornament on his necklace, revealing a small photo, and asked excitedly. "Is that her?"
It was the woman, but thinner than in his picture.
I didn't answer, but Lu Yunwen already understood what I meant.
"Impossible." He shook his head. "It can't be!"
Lu Suhe, Lu Xingming and others were also awakened at this time, and after asking what happened, Lu Xingming called us to his study alone.
"It's all over." He said to us. "You are not allowed to go outside tonight, and you are not allowed to do anything more! Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone send you off! ”
"Do you think it's because we're acting on our own?" Lu Xiaoling asked.
"Isn't it?" Lu Xingming asked rhetorically. "They never hurt anyone before you showed up."
"They?" Lu Xiaoling asked. "Could it be that it's not just Lu Xiuyao in the spirit room?"
"It's none of your business!" Lu Xingming suddenly became rough. "To be a man, you must know how to advance and retreat, and don't care about things that shouldn't be managed!"
He violently pushed us out of the study, asked Li Yao to take us to sleep, and even asked Li Yao to lock our room from the outside.
The room assigned to me was on the other side of the mansion, and there was no way to see the mourning room and the water corridor, so I stood in front of the window and looked out, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
The ghosts of Lu Xiuyao and Shao Lehua are in the Lu Mansion?
So why has only people seen Lu Xiuyao all the time, but no one has seen Shao Lehua?
Why did they attack me?
What is Lu Xingming hiding?
Early the next morning, Li Yao came to arrange for us to leave, and we didn't even arrange breakfast.
"I want to see Old Man Lu." Lu Xiaoling said.
"He didn't get a good night's rest last night and is catching up on sleep now."
"Then let me meet Lu Yunwen."
"The eldest young master doesn't want to see you." Li Yao said. "Please leave!"
A car stopped on the porch, but Lu Xiaoling shook her head and said, "I don't take your car!" Someone came to pick us up. ”
The two of us walked to the door, and Ma Bin's broken car was parked on the side of the road.
Li Yao watched us get into the car, and then turned around and left.
"What about what you were looking for last night?" As soon as Lu Xiaoling got in the car, she asked hurriedly.
"Here, but ......" Ma Bin took out something, Lu Xiaoling grabbed it, immediately pushed open the door and jumped out of the car.
"What about our pay?" She said loudly to Li Yao, who had not gone far. "I want to see Lu Xingming!"
I don't know what the hell the two of them are up to, but Ma Bin sneakily pulled out a laptop and opened one of the programs.
After about ten minutes, Lu Xiaoling's voice suddenly came out.
"What the hell are you hiding?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Lu Xingming's voice said. "How much do you want?"
"One hundred thousand!" Lu Xiaoling's voice was casually covered when she heard it.
"Yes, but you can't talk about it, not at all!"
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Xiaoling asked.
"I have a lot of ways to shut you up completely, and you'd better not push me to that point." Lu Xingming said.
"I just want an answer."
"Not everything has an answer." Lu Xingming said. "Lu Xiaoling, for your uncle's sake, I just talked to you for the last time, 100,000 yuan, you can't tell anyone about things here."
Lu Xiaoling was silent for a moment. "Good!" She replied.
There was silence for a while, and Lu Xingming may have been writing a check, because soon the sound of tearing paper was heard.
"Take it." Lu Xingming said. "If you break the agreement, then it won't be me who is looking for you."
"Are there any of the people you put in prison before who are unwilling to take money to help you keep your secret?" Lu Xiaoling asked suddenly.
Lu Xingming was silent for a while.
"That's not what you're supposed to ask!"
