Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Let’s Have a Romance in Tribute to Youth

"Ah? No renovation?"

Xu Hai looked at you with a startled face, casually pointing around, "Listen, buddy, with this environment, how can we meet people? You should know that the people I bring over are all influential, and they..."

"Stay calm." You reached out and patted Xu Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You still haven’t understood what I meant."

Although the mansion had been unoccupied for decades, everything inside looked as though it was frequently cleaned, not a speck of dust in sight, you knew for sure this was thanks to the previous middle-aged man and his wife.

However, despite this, everything in the house still seemed very ancient, and some walls even showed noticeable damage.

Even without the strange array in the storage room, just looking at the furnishing in the mansion gave it an ancient, eerie vibe.

You sat boldly on a solid wood chair facing Xu Hai and chuckled, "First off, you need to understand who our clients are. As you said, they are influential people, but the tasks they entrust us with are those that can’t be seen in public. That’s the first reason I chose a haunted house; second, it’s a matter of first impressions. Having our detective agency’s office in this haunted house naturally acts like a business card. Many people won’t even consider my abilities and will collaborate with us merely because the haunted house says it all."

Xu Hai suddenly realized and clapped his hands, praising, "Brother Yun, you’re wasting your talent not going into business and being a junior teacher instead!"

"All this place needs is a little tidying up, and we can start taking orders tomorrow."

Xu Hai nodded vigorously, rubbing his hands together, "I can’t wait!"

At this moment, in your rental room 306.

"Zhao’er, have you really decided this?"

Xian Qianling looked at Zhao’er with a shocked face, clearly not expecting her to take such a step.

Compared to her mindless state before, Zhao’er’s eyes now had a liveliness that others lacked. She looked at Xian Qianling, who was silent and had an excited expression, and smiled slightly, "In the past short period, I absorbed all kinds of knowledge like a sponge. There was one thing I couldn’t understand, but I could clearly feel it from you all."

"What is it?"

"Love."

Zhao’er hummed softly.

Xian Qianling was momentarily stunned, blinked, and his excited emotions gradually subsided.

"Love is a very broad term, it encompasses all positive emotions among all beings, such as friendship, compassion, faith, romance, and so on."

In emotional matters, Zhao’er wasn’t shy; after all, she didn’t belong to this world and was born solely because of you. Thus, her thoughts centered around you, considering everything from your perspective.

Then, Zhao’er casually brought up the issue that Wu Qiyi and Xian Qianling had been avoiding, "Little Yun, Qianling, you’ve both been in love with Yun; there’s no need to avoid this issue."

"I... I admit it, or else I wouldn’t have come to Eastern Sea to be tortured." Xian Qianling directly met Zhao’er’s determined gaze, demonstrating his resilient style, "Although initially, Yun and I weren’t happy and often clashed, that’s just my nature, to put it bluntly, I have a bad temperament. But that’s my personal issue, for him, I’m willing to change! After leaving Yuhang, I finally understood what it felt like to be in an endless longing and realized that happiness and I were not meant to be in this lifetime. Yet, he appeared so dramatically before me, can you imagine my feelings then?"

Facing Xian Qianling’s candidness, Wu Qiyi sighed softly, still appearing very calm, her face expressionless, "It’s not about not fighting, but not wanting to. I don’t want to see him in difficulty, and besides, maintaining our current relationship is quite nice. Loving someone doesn’t mean possessing them completely."

Zhao’er smiled leisurely, "Anyway, what I just said still counts. While Yun has not yet regained his memory, let’s three of us, each under a different persona, enter his world and start a romance that honors youth."

"Ah-Choo! Ah-Choo-ah-ah!"

While going upstairs and standing at the doorway on the second floor, you sneezed several times.

"What’s going on, do you have a cold?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman, as thick as a barrel at the waist, walked over. Even though she was as heavily made-up as an ordinary person, her face looked quite cheerful but carried a hint of concern.

Before she even opened her mouth, she bombarded again, "What should I say about you? You’re almost hitting thirty, your girlfriend ran off, and now you’re living in a haze every day, eating instant noodles again, aren’t you? Eating that stuff that doesn’t go bad for decades, aren’t you afraid you’ll turn into a mummy? You’re a teacher, even though the income is a bit low, there are plenty of girls these days who don’t care about money. Just don’t set your standards too high, you can grab a handful anywhere on the street..."

The middle-aged woman chattering like your mother was the landlord’s wife, Wu Xiuli.

She would occasionally come around to offer some help as far as she could to the tenants.

Although she looked rugged, she was actually a very kind-hearted woman.

"Hey, hey, I’m talking to you, you brat. You’re a teacher yourself, you should at least know the basic manners of paying attention when someone is talking to you. I understand it’s not easy for you to struggle on your own, but you can’t wreck your body no matter what. If you’re really having trouble, I’ll talk to your Brother Zhang about delaying this month’s rent..."

"No, no, Sister Wu, don’t bother, I can pay the rent tomorrow."

Wu Xiuli glanced at you and patted your shoulder, saying, "Life is never easy. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

"Ah, I know."

You smiled, preparing to leave when you suddenly noticed a Shiba Inu standing next to Wu Xiuli, sticking its tongue out at her. You had seen this Shiba Inu before; it was Wu Xiuli’s second son, said to be even dearer to her than her own flesh and blood.

Just as you were about to play with the Shiba Inu, it turned its head towards you, and you were startled!

The other side of the Shiba Inu was a gory mess, even its eyeball had burst out!

"Uh!"

You were shocked by this sudden sight.

"What’s wrong with you, jumping at shadows?"

Wu Xiuli had just started speaking when her phone in her pocket rang.

"Hello..."

She listened for less than two sentences before tears started streaming down her face.

She sobbed a few words and turned to leave.

"Sister Wu!"

You saw the half-mangled face of the Shiba Inu follow her and immediately stopped Wu Xiuli, asking, "Did something happen to Fugui?"

Wu Xiuli’s face turned somber as she nodded her head.

After a pause, you added, "There’s something I need to say, don’t be scared."

"What?"

You were initially hesitant, but seeing the Shiba Inu wagging its tail continuously at Wu Xiuli, and thinking of the nature of dogs, you blurted out, "That Fugui, he—he’s right in front of you."

Wu Xiuli didn’t understand at first, but when she came to her senses, she instantly gasped.
