Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract
Chapter 158: Late Night

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Late Night

After communicating with the master for over an hour, Ye Ying had no doubt about her abilities.

She even gave the master 50000 yuan in one go, asking her to write an amulet to ward off ghosts.

The old lady was very generous as well, writing ten talisman papers for her in one breath, which made Ye Ying extremely happy.

She took down the old lady’s contact information and went home.

She stuck the ten talisman papers over her bed, window, door, and even carried one on her person, making her fully confident that no demon or ghost could harm her.

As a result, she went to confront Shen Congmo again after two peaceful days.

When Shen Congmo saw her, his first action was to send a message to Gu Lili. After sending the message, he ignored Ye Ying and drove away on his own.

Ye Ying always felt that this was not a solution.

His indifference towards her, if it continued like this, wouldn’t lead to any progress at all.

But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she just didn’t know how to advance their relationship.

Another wasted trip.

When she got home that evening and came out of the garage, something felt off.

She couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was specifically.

It was just a feeling of unease in her heart.

After chatting with her parents in the living room for a while, she went back to her room.

She turned on her computer, planning to play a couple of games after taking a shower.

While she was washing her hair, suddenly, the light went out.

Ye Ying’s heart skipped a beat. After she quickly rinsed her hair, she grabbed a towel to wrap around herself, ready to go out and see what was wrong.

The result...

As soon as she opened the bathroom door,

the light that was on in the outer room was off as well, and she was engulfed in darkness.

Her foot had just stepped out when her gaze suddenly caught sight of a silhouette against the wall near the bathroom door.

Her eyes locked with that of the shadow’s.

"Ah—"

A piercing scream echoed, long and unbroken.

Hearing the commotion, Father Ye and Mother Ye hurried over to check. When Ye Ying opened the door, she was in utter panic.

"There’s... there’s a ghost! Dad, Mom, there’s a ghost, there’s a ghost..." Ye Ying was so terrified that she was incoherent and shaking uncontrollably.

Father Ye and Mother Ye were also frightened, but Father Ye was somewhat braver. He pushed the door open, looking inside, but saw nothing.

He reached for the switch, and the lights came on. There was nothing in the room.

Taking Ye Ying’s clothes out, Mother Ye accompanied her to get dressed, and then they went to the living room.

Ye Ying kept babbling about her terrifying experience, but Father Ye interrupted her with a single question, "Where did you get the talisman papers that you stuck on your door, window, and bedside?"

Ye Ying wasn’t angry until it was mentioned. As soon as it came up, she was furious.

"Scammer!" She angrily dialed the master’s number; the call went through, "Your talisman paper doesn’t work at all, you scammer, give me my money back!"

The calm voice of the old lady came from the other end, "Young lady, you insisted that I write talisman papers for you, so I did, you spent money on my talisman papers, how did I scam you?"

"You said those talisman papers could suppress ghosts!"

"Ghosts come in different levels, like small, medium, and large. Perhaps you’ve encountered a powerful ghost that couldn’t be suppressed. How about you bring another hundred thousand yuan, and I’ll write an even more powerful talisman paper for you?"

"Hundred thousand?!" Ye Ying was so angry she was about to explode, "You old hag, do you want a hundred thousand Joss Paper?!"

She furiously hung up the phone.

Father Ye and Mother Ye didn’t even need to ask to guess the situation.
