Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Saw a Ghost!
“Ghost!”
“I saw a ghost, I saw a ghost!”
Huo Sijiao tumbled and crawled her way down the stairs, her expression terrified. Her face was pale, and she hadn’t recovered from the shock.
Seeing Qiao Xi, who was mixing herbs in the living room, she threw herself into her arms, holding on tightly.
Trembling.
“Sister-in-law, I saw a ghost! There’s a ghost in our house!” Huo Sijiao’s voice was trembling.
She had been coming and going early these two days, interacting with Xie Xubai, and knew little about what was happening at ho. She didn’t even know who was living on the third floor of their house. Today, she just heard so commotion at the stairway.
Yawning, she ca out of her room and glanced over.
Instantly, her entire body stiffened.
She let out a sharp scream.
Imdiately rushed down the stairs, wanting to run outside the villa to bask in the sun. It’s said ghosts are afraid of sunlight and don’t dare to touch it.
“Sister-in-law, I… I clearly saw Mr. Cheng’s burial, we even held a funeral. You think… does he have so unfinished business? Otherwise, why would he co out during the day! He walks unsteadily… could it be that he died too tragically?” Huo Sijiao’s voice was trembling.
Her small face was pale.
No trace of blood color.
She was obviously scared out of her wits!
Huo Sijiao believed in ghosts and spirits to so extent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to a mountain temple to pray for blessings and seek a peace charm after Huo Xingzhou’s car accident.
“Sister-in-law…”
Huo Sijiao was on the verge of tears.
Qiao Xi now realized what she had forgotten earlier when talking to Grandpa Cheng.
She forgot to tell Grandpa Cheng that they boldly held a “funeral” for him.
So outsiders all thought he was dead, and even Huo Sijiao had been kept in the dark.
Qiao Xi hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her, “Don’t be afraid, how could our house be…”
“Miss Qiao…”
The sound of a weary voice ca from the stairway as Cheng Han made his way down, supporting himself on the stairs step by step. He was also sowhat anxious and puzzled as to why the Huo Family girl was so frightened and called him a ghost!
“Ah!”
Huo Sijiao was startled again!
Qiao Xi looked helpless and said, “Grandpa Cheng is not dead, don’t be afraid. He’s been living on our third floor all along.”
“He’s alive?”
“Alive.”
Only then did Huo Sijiao carefully look at Cheng Han.
Cheng Han looked at Qiao Xi with a serious face, wanting her to properly explain why things turned out like this.
“Have a seat first.”
Qiao Xi, feeling a bit guilty, pulled the two of them to sit on the sofa and poured them each a glass of water.
Huo Sijiao instinctively moved away from Cheng Han a bit.
Qiao Xi moistened her dry red lips and said, “It’s a long story.”
“Then make the long story short,” Cheng Han said indifferently, “I would like to know why everyone thinks I’m a ghost.”
Qiao Xi laughed awkwardly and said, “When we saved you at that ti, you were at death’s door. So we found a way to deceive everyone, announcing that you were already dead and even held a funeral. That’s why outsiders all thought you were dead, and Jiaojiao wasn’t inford.”
Though they weren’t sure why the Lu Family wanted him dead, as long as the Lu Family didn’t know, it didn’t matter.
Huo Sijiao added from the side, “That’s right. A national doctor’s death is such big news; we wouldn’t doubt its truth. I just didn’t expect sister-in-law to hide it from , so I got scared. It’s great that Mr. Cheng is still alive! The Lu Family will be scared to death!”
Huo Sijiao’s heart was really experiencing ups and downs.
Cheng Han looked at Qiao Xi, unable to say anything for a long ti.
He “died.”
His own apprentice declared to the outside world that he was dead, which was really helpless.
Qiao Xi saw his complex expression, not knowing what to say, and hurriedly reassured him.
“Master, don’t worry. When the things the Lu Family did are exposed, we’ll announce to the outside world that you’re still alive. I’m sorry, Master. I told a colossal lie, but it was forced by the situation at that ti.”
If Cheng Han weren’t dead, the Lu Family wouldn’t have been so triumphant, revealing so many clues.
Cheng Han sighed, “The Lu Family’s sins are serious.”
“Yes, they are afraid you’ll reveal the truth about the competition back then, afraid we’ll find evidence. They’re afraid our master-apprentice alliance would beco a threat to them, so they exhausted all ans to get rid of us. But little did they know you’re still alive and I wasn’t killed in that fire either!”
The Lu Family’s way of dealing with opponents was simple: eliminate them.
Her grandmother died for her, and she’ll rember it all her life.
“As things stand, we can only wait for Qingnian to recover her sanity. She should know more of the Lu Family’s weaknesses…”
A haughty and arrogant figure flashed through Qiao Xi’s mind, her voice sowhat light, “Perhaps, soone else knows…”
For instance, Xiang Mingzhu and Lu Yutong.
Do they hold any evidence?
Huo Xingzhou talked about fishing, but who knows when the fish would finally bite the hook.
“Mr. Cheng!”
Sun Weing entered and saw the elderly man sitting on the sofa, smiling as he said, “You’re finally awake! I’ve been a bit scared these days…”
The third floor had been strictly guarded; no one could go up except Qiao Xi.
Now seeing Cheng Han sitting in the living room, he was both surprised and delighted.
“Sir, please check my pulse to see if I’m in good health! I’ve been exercising with Old Chen lately, and I’ve even built so muscles.”
He squeezed in beside Cheng Han, warmly like a grandchild.
Cheng Han shifted away, looking slightly disdainful, distancing himself from him.
Huo Sijiao watched Sun Weing’s actions and got excited, “Alright! You all knew, even Sun Weing knew the secret, but didn’t tell !”
It’s normal if they didn’t tell her and Sun Weing such a big matter.
But Sun Weing knew, and she didn’t! It made Huo Sijiao feel unbalanced!
Sun Weing, with a bit of pride, said, “Because I’m smarter!”
“You… sister-in-law!”
Huo Sijiao was full of grievance, compounded by the earlier fright.
“Jiaojiao, Young Master Sun knowing this is just a coincidence, we initially…”
Sun Weing made a face, interrupting Qiao Xi’s explanation, “It’s because your brother values more! He lets know everything, what if you, a lady, accidentally spill the beans…”
“I… I’m angry now!”
Huo Sijiao grabbed her phone and car keys and stord out.
Sun Weing chased after her, shouting, “Don’t let anything slip!”
Huo Sijiao got even angrier!
Qiao Xi couldn’t stop her; she took a car and drove away.
“Young Master Sun, why do you deliberately provoke her?” Qiao Xi was a bit helpless, “She’s straightforward; you just need to clarify things with her.”
Sun Weing looked a bit innocent, “I was just joking with her; I didn’t expect such a big reaction. I’ll apologize properly when she cos back.”
Qiao Xi glared at him.
Sun Weing ducked his head a bit, wisely changing the topic, “You know, Young Master Zhong was discharged from the hospital today!”
“He’s not fully recovered yet, and he’s discharged?”
Sun Weing muttered, “It’s because soone refused to make dicinal als, handing everything over to Shen Xuanzhi.”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing,” Sun Weing quickly supported Cheng Han, “Sir, let’s go for a walk in the garden. You haven’t been in the sun for so long; it’s good to go outside and move around.”

Imperial Capital Airport.
The man seated on a wheelchair, Zhong Lingyuxiu, had a noble air. Every gesture carried a refined grace, with thick warm blankets over his knees. The coat collar was adorned with an exquisite fur collar, highlighting his face as if it was carved from jade.
Several bodyguards stood around him, clearly not ordinary people.
In front of him, stood a red-eyed woman.
