“Alright, I have already prepared the food. It is still hot in the pot. Wait for me to bring it out!” Shen Jian said and immediately ran to the kitchen to bring out the food.
Looking at the hot and sumptuous food, Su Meng revealed a satisfied expression. It seemed that there were many benefits to having a diligent underling.
After the two of them ate, Su Meng rode the electric bike and brought Shen Jian to the customer’s house.
Shen Jian guided her from behind. The two of them arrived in front of the so-called big villa that Shen Jian mentioned.
Su Meng looked at the house in front of her and felt a little embarrassed.
This guy actually said that this was a big villa? The house was indeed very big and had two floors. However, there was only one house in the surroundings. Standing alone here, it looked a little lonely.
In particular, this place was very remote and belonged to the suburbs. With just one house standing here, it would be very easy for criminals to target it.
Moreover, the feng shui of this house was not good. As the saying went, one should not plant a mulberry tree in the front and a willow tree in the back. The mulberry tree was easy to attract souls and was of the yin attribute. Planting it in front of the house was a form of yin pressure, which was not good for the owner of the house.
In front of this house grew a large mulberry tree. It looked quite old and was thick and tall.
Su Meng looked at the two-story villa in front of her and was very reluctant to enter. She kept feeling that this house was also emitting a cold air, which was very uncomfortable.
She stood two meters away from the door while Shen Jian went over to ring the doorbell.
As he had already informed her in advance, the doorbell had only rung for a dozen seconds when the door was opened. A pale face that was as white as paper was revealed. She had big red lips, and long black hair was draped over it. Coupled with that pair of deep blue eye sockets, she looked like a female ghost.
Shen Jian was so frightened when he saw her face that he retreated several steps and almost fell.
“Mr. Shen, you’re here.” The woman immediately smiled when she saw Shen Jian and reached out to grab him.
The woman’s hand was like a withered tree branch. There were long nails on it, and the most important thing was that the nails were actually red.
“Oh my god, ghost!” Shen Jian shouted when he saw that the woman wanted to grab him and ran toward Su Meng.
He was the most timid. He was most afraid of ghosts and spirits. He did not even dare to watch horror movies. How could he not be afraid when he suddenly saw such a scary thing?
When Su Meng saw Shen Jian’s reaction, she did not know whether to comfort him or scold him. She grabbed his arm and gritted her teeth, saying in a low voice, “Shen Jian, take a good look. This is a human!”
Shen Jian was quiet. It made sense. How could a ghost come out in broad daylight? Wasn’t that courting death?
Shen Jian laughed awkwardly and quickly composed himself. Then, he turned around and asked, “I’m sorry. Is Miss Lu Si at home?”
“Yes, I am. Master Shen, how come you don’t recognize me after only two days apart?” Lu Si looked at Shen Jian and continued to ask, “Is this the person you said could help me? Please come in.”

“She wasn’t like this when I came that day. Although she was very thin at that time, she wasn’t as skinny as she is now,” Shen Jian leaned against Su Meng and complained to her in a low voice.
Su Meng only nodded but didn’t reply.
Lu Si opened the door and invited Su Meng and Shen Jian in.
Su Meng looked up at the house and frowned slightly. This house was really strange. She didn’t want to go in, but she had to go in if she wanted to understand Lu Si’s difficulties.
After thinking for a while, she decided to go in.
Lu Si invited them to sit down and then poured a cup of tea for Shen Jian and Su Meng. Su Meng did not take it. Shen Jian was about to take it, but Su Meng patted his hand and signaled him not to drink it.
“Miss Lu, what problem have you encountered that you need our help with?” Su Meng sat on a chair near the door and asked Lu Si while carefully observing her surroundings.
Lu Si sat next to Shen Jian and sighed. “I think… I think I’m cursed.”
Shen Jian looked at Su Meng and asked, “Cursed? What’s a curse?”
“Don’t interrupt. Let Miss Lu continue.” Su Meng rolled her eyes at Shen Jian.
Lu Si nodded. She continued, “I’ve been having a strange dream recently. When I fall asleep, I hear the sound of dripping water in the bathroom. Then, I follow the sound and go over to check if there’s a leak in the water pipe. When I’m done, and there’s nothing wrong with the pipe, I go to the sink and stand there and look in the mirror.”
