Chapter 790 - 788: The Bullet Screen Scam 10

[I wonder if there’s another way to find a reason to dismiss them.]

Hearing the inner voice, Shen Muzhi also pondered over the matter.

At this point, the bullet screen was even livelier.

[No, I really can’t understand this plot anymore.]

[I used to think it was a restoration, but even though the characters are the same, the plot is very different from the original.]

[So is Shao Yifan mentally ill, or has this really turned into a supernatural script?]

[Anyway, I’m enjoying this, the butler is up to something, and now his son Shao Yifan keeps having issues, it’s hard not to see it as karma.]

[Did the female lead just follow back to the Shen Family like that?]

[I can no longer predict the upcoming plot.]

Ah Chen glanced at the bullet screen, then followed Shen Muzhi back to the Shen Family.

Upon entering, she saw Chen Qing sitting on the sofa.

Chen Qing got up and approached Ah Chen, giving her a once-over. Seeing she was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I just saw the eldest going out earlier, saying something happened over there with you. Are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Chen, I’m fine. I just heard a knock on the door, but no one was there." Ah Chen briefly explained the situation, "We’ll have a thorough check tomorrow to see what went wrong."

"That’s good. It’s so late, get some rest first. Xiao Chen, consider this your home and stay here comfortably." Chen Qing smiled warmly, took the things from Ah Chen’s hands, and led her to a room that had been prepared upstairs.

"When I heard you were found and brought back, I had your room specially prepared," Chen Qing suddenly felt a bit sentimental, "These years, Sihua and the other one didn’t give up looking for your whereabouts, but it seems we still missed it eventually."

She shook her head suddenly: "I shouldn’t be talking about this so late at night, go and rest, if you need anything, just call the butler, and someone will bring it up for you."

"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Ah Chen thanked her, and the room door closed.

After a simple wash, she went to bed.

"Is Shao Yifan actually mentally ill, or did he see something strange?" Chen Qing frowned, "Eldest, was there anything odd earlier with you?"

Shen Muzhi replied, "No, it’s very likely that Shao Yifan is the one with problems."

He refrained from saying more about hearing the inner voices, planning to get checked the next day and see if there’d be any further developments with Qiao Chen.

"Let’s see first, if it doesn’t work out, perhaps we should call someone knowledgeable to assess it, what if it really is something unclean?" Chen Qing suggested.

Shen Muzhi nodded, as he was thinking the same.

A dreamless night.

Ah Chen woke up early, after all, she was in someone else’s home, and couldn’t sleep in.

"Doesn’t Shao Yifan look perfectly normal? Could it really be a haunting?" At the dining table, Shen Muyang had heard about the events of the previous night and spoke, stealing a glance at Ah Chen, "Xiao Qiao, it doesn’t seem too peaceful over there, you’d better stay here for safety for the time being."

"What nonsense are you spouting early in the morning?" Shen Zhenxiong reprimanded, "Eat quickly, and since you’re free today, accompany Xiao Qiao to figure out what’s going on over there."

"Alright, that was my intention anyway. Dad and big brother have company matters to attend to, and mom’s busy as well, it seems I’ll have to sacrifice my leisure time. But, I’m more than willing."

After breakfast, Shen Muyang accompanied Ah Chen back to the villa.

The team that was arranged to check the place hadn’t arrived yet, so Ah Chen went to inquire about Shao Yifan’s condition, and the butler was about to take him to the hospital.

After last night’s incident, Shao Yifan looked a bit listless, and even showed lingering fear when stepping out of the villa and seeing the courtyard that trapped him last night.

"Nothing seems off in this place." Shen Muyang was roaming around the courtyard with curiosity written all over his face, "How did you get trapped?"

He was addressing Shao Yifan.

Shao Yifan recalled the events of last night, his face turned a shade paler, but he gave a brief explanation and mentioned he was headed to the hospital. He only bothered to answer because it was Shen Muyang, the third young master of the Shen Family; otherwise, he wouldn’t entertain anyone else.

"Seems like he was really scared witless." After Shao Yifan left, Shen Muyang said nonchalantly, punching the big tree, "I don’t believe there are real ghosts in the world, his mind must be malfunctioning. This guy always does everything so seriously and nervously, probably just from stress."

"Xiao Qiao, don’t worry, once the professionals come, they’ll find out the reason behind the strange knocking sounds from last night, I don’t think it’s anything supernatural." He reassured Ah Chen, "While they aren’t here yet, let’s go check it out first."

Ah Chen did not refuse, moving forward to follow Shen Muyang closely.

[This Shen Muyang sure talks a lot.]

Shen Muyang suddenly stopped in his tracks, he thought he heard Qiao Chen complaining about him? It sounded like Qiao Chen’s voice, but there was something slightly different about it.

"What’s wrong?" Ah Chen looked at Shen Muyang, who had suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her.

Shen Muyang scratched his head, feeling strange, "Nothing."

Just as he was about to continue walking, a familiar voice rang in his ears again.

[The bullet screen says Shen Muyang is a side male character, is being this childish really a trait of a supporting character? If one had to choose between the two brothers, it does seem that Shen Muzhi appears more mature. But while the bullet screen speaks of a plot, I am living and breathing right now, with choices of my own. Ultimately, it might not be either of them. Besides...]

Besides... the voice suddenly stopped, leaving Shen Muyang curious. Besides what?

His eyes widened, he wasn’t hearing things, a voice indeed was criticizing him, and this time it was definitely Qiao Chen’s, though Qiao Chen hadn’t opened his mouth.

Could it be... inner voices?

Is it truly that absurd?

Does the world really have such a thing as hearing other people’s thoughts?

"Brother Muyang?" Ah Chen called out again.

[Why does he look so silly?]

Shen Muyang finally snapped back to reality, fully convinced that he could indeed hear Qiao Chen’s inner thoughts.

He let out a quiet breath, stuck his hands in his pockets, and laughed out loud, "Nothing, just wondering if we could find anything later, don’t want to waste time. Let’s go have a look."

"Okay."

The two of them quickly entered the Qiao Family Villa, the people arranged to guard the place all night were still there, and they greeted them upon sighting.

With a relaxed face, Shen Muyang wandered around, but his mind was not at ease.

If it wasn’t inconvenient now, he’d really want to discuss hearing Qiao Chen’s inner voice with his family.

No matter how he thought about it, it sounded absurd, yet it was undeniably real.

While his mind was elsewhere, Shen Muyang wasn’t as focused on inspecting the Qiao Family Villa, merely glancing around briefly.

Until the professionals arrived, he and Ah Chen chose to sit on the sofa to rest.

About an hour later, the inspection team approached Ah Chen.
