Chapter 940: Chapter 940 You Fear the Ghost and the Ghost Fears You

"What’s up?" Suizi asked.

Yu Jingting strode forward, scattering Suizi’s hair with a serious expression and steady movements.

"????" Suizi didn’t understand what he was doing.

She was about to call Li Tieguang’s mistress, to play ghost and scare her. But suddenly Yu Jingting shouted stop, leaving Suizi confused.

Yu Jingting arranged Suizi’s long hair over her face, turned off the lights, and shone a flashlight on her face.

"Life needs a little ritual!" Yu Jingting declared with clear enunciation and forceful conviction.

If you’re going to play ghost, you need this effect!

Suizi reached out to pinch him, and Yu Jingting nodded repeatedly, "Wife, you’ve got the look now, maintain it!"

With hair covering her face and the faint light of the flashlight on her, it was truly frightening.

"Why is this flashlight so dim? Shouldn’t it be a strong light flashlight?" Yu Jingting fiddled with the flashlight switch, flipping it on and off. Between these flickers, Suizi’s figure became even more terrifying.

The flashlight had actually been tampered with by Fourth Master, something Mr. and Mrs. Yu didn’t know.

Fourth Master had discovered that Jiaojiao was using a high-beam flashlight to signal the chubby kid in the courtyard. Annoyed, he swapped out the bulbs for dimmer ones.

Whether it affected the kids’ signaling was unknown, but for playing ghost, the effect was exceptionally good.

Suizi, annoyed, bumped him with her head, this man who was never serious!

After bumping him, she dialed the phone grumpily, and with a finger, warned him not to mess around while she was making the call.

Yu Jingting just stood in the darkness, occasionally shining the weak flashlight on her, completely setting the atmosphere.

The phone rang for a while before it was picked up; the mistress’s voice on the other end was tinged with an unmistakable drowsiness.

"Who is it, in the middle of the night..."

"I’m Xiaomei~ I died so miserably~" Suizi said in a pinched voice.

"Ahhh!!!" The mistress screamed from the other end of the phone.

"Don’t hang up the phone, if you hang up, I’ll crawl through the phone line..." As Suizi scared the person on the other end, she wondered if "The Ring" hadn’t been released yet, right?

Of course, it hadn’t been released; her creative threat made the mistress on the other end nearly pee her pants.

"Look outside, do you see the wrongful spirit coming for you?" Suizi looked at her watch, it was just a minute past twelve. She had arranged for Yang Er to lie in wait under the mistress’s apartment, timing accurately to hit the windows with a slingshot.

No sooner had Suizi finished speaking than she heard another round of blood-curdling screams from the other end of the phone.

Suizi nodded in satisfaction; good job, Yang Er executed it perfectly with excellent timing.

When she decided to follow up on the mistress’s trails, Yu Jingting arranged for someone to stake out near the mistress’s place to stop her when she went out to shop, telling the mistress that her brow was dark and she was surrounded by ghostly aura, cautioning her to be careful.

Any person would be unsettled being stopped on the street and warned of such things, and true enough, the mistress spat a faceful of saliva at him.

Yu Jingting had watched his mother perform shamanistic rituals years ago and was skilled at playing on the ordinary person’s psyche when it comes to seeking divine intervention.

Not to mention someone like the mistress who did not have much education, even an intellectual like Suizi would avoid doing things considered taboo.

Even those who believe without being misled would react this way, let alone a common person like the mistress who couldn’t escape superstition.

The groundwork had been laid well, and after such a combination of blows, anyone would take the bait.

Sure enough, the mistress on the other end was scared into a continuous wail.

"It wasn’t me! Xu Amei, you committed suicide, why are you seeking revenge from me? It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with Boss Li either, you were the one who gave up on yourself!"

"You ruined me! Li Tieguang caused my death!" Suizi didn’t even know the mistress’s name, but that didn’t stop her from frightening her.

"Boss Li really didn’t harm you, you know. He even arranged a ritual for your soul’s deliverance. He liked you so much—how could he hurt you? It wasn’t us, please don’t come after us! I’ll burn paper money for you!"

While Suizi was coaxing information out of the caller, Yu Jingting had been shining a flashlight on her the whole time. Suizi knew he loved a good show, so she deliberately put the call on speaker.

Yu Jingting could hear the howls and sobs from the other end of the line clear as day but lost interest in this unchallenging adversary after only a short while. It wasn’t nearly as fun as his wife playing the ghost.

Suizi was about done gathering information and ready to hang up but then added one more line.

"Don’t destroy Li Tieguang’s family, or I’ll come looking for you~"

Although Li Tieguang wasn’t a prize, the mistress was blindly obsessed, even brazen enough to live next to his wife. The affair was exposed, but she didn’t move out, which Suizi couldn’t stand.

"Heard you...." The mistress, scared out of her wits, was too panicked to think straight when suddenly, a man’s shriek pierced through the phone.

The sound wasn’t loud, like it came through a wall, which made it all the more terrifying.

The mistress, frightened, dropped the phone; her hands were shaking.

When it occurred to her that the "Ghost of Amei" had forbade her from hanging up, she grabbed the phone again to find only the dial tone on the other end.

Suizi had hung up the phone.

"Amei won’t really come after me, will she? I’m innocent...."

Shivering, the mistress started rummaging through her things; she remembered having some joss paper at home. She wanted to take it to a crossroad and burn it, hoping the "Ghost of Amei" would leave her be.

But it was too late for that now. After experiencing the "ghostly call," the mistress didn’t dare to step outside.

She didn’t even dare to leave her room.

So, she just took a basin, squatted down at home to burn the paper money, and mumbled as she did so, "Amitabha Buddha, every grievance has its culprit, every debt its debtor, Xu Amei please don’t come looking for me!"

The reason Suizi hung up the phone was she too got scared by that scream.

But her reaction was nothing like the mistress’s.

Suizi’s first reaction was to start reciting a slogan, "Emancipate the mind, base our development on science and education; we are all staunch atheists!"

Yu Jingting laughed. This girl, was she planning to illuminate everything with the brilliance of Marxism?

"I’ll go have a look, see what kind of ’ghost’ is howling in the dead of night. If we catch a live one, we might even hand it over to the state. Maybe we could establish the first ’Ghost Theme Museum’. As donors, we could even receive a banner of honor."

"Tch! What are you babbling about at a time like this?" Suizi said. She couldn’t possibly be unafraid; if she were alone, she might be crying by now.

But he was there with her, and that made Suizi feel incredibly secure—curiosity even began to outweigh her fear.

"I’m coming with you." Suizi didn’t trust him to go out alone and reached out to hold his hand, thinking if there really was a ghost, she’d face it with him.

Yu Jingting’s heart swelled at her gesture; how could he help but love her when she loved him so much?

If it weren’t for trying to preserve a little dignity for the "ghost" back in the Courtyard, Yu Jingting might even have snatched up Suizi for a kiss.

The couple stepped outside. The Courtyard was pitch-dark, and Suizi couldn’t find the switch for the yard light, so they relied on the weak beam from Yu Jingting’s flashlight to search around.

The wind blew, casting tree shadows in the Courtyard that resembled phantoms, and Suizi’s scalp tingled.

Her palms were clammy with cold sweat, while his were dry and warm. Sensing Suizi’s fear, Yu Jingting tightened his grip, encouraging her not to be afraid.

Suddenly, the flashlight beam settled on a rockery, where a "ghost" lay on its back. Suizi screamed.

Yu Jingting spread his arms, "Come here, right into your man’s embrace~"

He didn’t catch Suizi—she ran away.

Ran toward...the ghost?

Yu Jingting was baffled. What was his wife thinking?
