Chapter 250: Chapter 41 The Hidden Incident

"You must have seen wrong," Sister Hai Yin said, dissatisfied with being woken up in the middle of her sleep. Rubbing her eyes, she said to Hai Han, "You were screaming like a banshee just now. You scared me to death. Okay, I’m going back to sleep."

However, Hai Jian Shi was still examining the traces outside the window with great care, not taking his son’s words lightly.

Meanwhile, Ji Danshu walked up to her son and asked patiently, "Tell me, Hai Han, what did you see just now? You said you saw a ghost?"

At that moment, Hai Jian Shi turned around and also asked, "Hai Han, what exactly did you see?"

"I... I saw a ghost with a terrifying face... just pressing its face against the window..."

"You must have seen wrong," Hai Yin, feeling a bit creeped out by his words, said, "How can there be ghosts?"

Hai Jian Shi then asked, "Could you have been confused from sleep? After all, it’s quite dark inside. Perhaps you didn’t see clearly."

At this point, Hai Han himself was also becoming somewhat confused.

"To be on the safe side, I’ll go out and take a look," Hai Jian Shi said. "I’ve checked already, and there’s no sign of the window lock being tampered with. So if there really was someone, they wouldn’t be able to enter the room, definitely on the outside."

"Dad, you’re really going out there?" Hai Yin said, while feeling that this was consistent with her father’s character.

"Be careful," Ji Danshu began to feel anxious after hearing her husband’s words, "This... it’s not serious, right?"

"It’s not serious," Hai Jian Shi patted Ji Danshu’s shoulder, then headed downstairs.

At that moment, Ji Danshu felt a vague sense of unease in her heart.

She looked toward her son Hai Han, walked up to him, and asked again, "Tell me, Hai Han, can you describe it in more detail? What exactly did you see?"

"I, I feel... It was like a corpse that had decayed for a long time..." Hai Han was still trembling, "But she seemed to be lying against the window, her eyes staring at me... Yes, just staring at me!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Danshu seemed to think of something, her complexion turning pale.

"No, that can’t be..." She started to say this, then turned to look outside the window again.

At this time, her husband Hai Jian Shi had already gone outside the house and began to look around for any traces.

It seemed that he was earnestly searching for something.

Ji Danshu was biting her lip tightly, and seeing her react this way, Hai Han suddenly realized something...

His parents seemed to believe what he said to some extent. Moreover, they truly thought that "a ghost lying on the window" was a possibility.

At that moment, Hai Han was convinced that his grandparents, father, and mother, were all hiding something very important from him.

After searching to no avail, Hai Jian Shi returned. Ultimately, Hai Jian Shi moved to a different room to sleep, and the night passed just like this...

Morning.

After breakfast, Hai Han went out early.

He had already decided on his destination.

The Rose Hotel.

Since he knew the owner of The Rose Hotel, a simple inquiry would reveal the residences of the man and woman from off the island.

The two of them had rented two adjacent rooms.

Hai Han arrived at the man’s room and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened.

Upon seeing Dai Ming, Hai Han immediately said, "Hello, you came to my house yesterday looking for my uncle, I was there at that time too."

"Your uncle..."

"Ji Danyang."

"Oh," Dai Ming hurriedly said, "Do you need something?"

"Can I see that... painting? Maybe I can provide you with some clues."

"You?" Dai Ming’s expression visibly became excited at the mention of "clues" and said, "Alright, come in then."

After entering the room, Hai Han said, "Let’s put it this way, I want to have an open and honest talk with you. I’ll tell you the whole truth without holding anything back, and in return, you tell me as well."

Hai Han was certain his parents were keeping a very important matter from him, but asking them would clearly yield no results. Since that was the case, it was better to seek these two outsiders, who might be able to provide him with crucial clues.

At present, Hai Han simply had no better idea.

"Wait here for a moment; I’ll call Miss Pan over."

"Okay."

The island’s secrets were, in principle, not meant to be shared with outsiders. However, Hai Han was feeling increasingly uneasy.

What he saw last night was definitely not an illusion—it was real! And his parents knew it was real! Yet they told him nothing!

So... there was no need for him to stick to this so-called secret.

At fourteen, all he wanted now was to know the truth.

He certainly didn’t hope to see a ghost crouching outside his window again one night.

Soon enough, Pan Yizhen also came over.

"My name is Hai Han," Hai Han introduced himself: "The Ji Danyang you’re looking for is my uncle."

"I see," Pan Yizhen said, "You asked for the painting; let us show it to you then."

She then took out several oil paintings from a bag.

Hai Han took the paintings and looked at them closely.

With just one glance, he nearly lost his balance, his legs almost giving way.

"This... this... this..."

The terrifying scene from the night before emerged before his eyes!

In the painting, the horrifying visage of the female ghost was exactly the same as the evil spirit that had been gazing at him from the window the previous night!

"You... You drew this..."

"This is a painting of her before she still looked human..." Pan Yizhen took one out and said to Hai Han, "Do you recognize this one?"

After looking closely, Hai Han said, "Her... I know her name; her name is Leng Mu."

"Leng Mu??"

Upon hearing this name, Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen immediately showed expressions of joy.

"If we know the name, can’t we just tell Doctor Fang to place a ’Blood Curse’ or something?"

"Doctor? Blood Curse?" Hearing the conversation between Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen, Hai Han became alert: "Who exactly are you?"

Dai Ming coughed lightly and said, "Even if we tell you, you won’t believe us. We would like to ask for specific information about this woman named Leng Mu. Don’t worry, we won’t wrong you."

"I don’t want money. I only want to know the truth. Auntie Leng Mu... was a close friend of my mother’s, but I never met her because she disappeared on the island a long time ago."

"Disappeared?" Dai Ming urged, "Please tell us, how exactly did she disappear?"

"Yes, please tell us! We beg you!" Pan Yizhen pleaded as well.

"I’m sorry, I can’t answer that question for you. Because, I don’t know either..."

Just then, suddenly, the ringtone of Hai Han’s cellphone went off.

The caller was his uncle, Ji Danyang.

He immediately answered the phone.

"Hello, Uncle?"

"Hai Han! Something’s happened! Hurry over here!"

"Something’s happened... What happened?"

"Someone’s dead... someone has been murdered on the island!"
