That night, when Lu Liangting woke up in room 506, the female ghost had already made her appearance. Fortunately, he had done some things for the female ghost in her memory, so she chose to devour the old landlord instead of him.

After coming out, he went to look for Zhao Mingyue. He searched the entire fifth floor but couldn’t find her, so he went to the fourth floor. However, as soon as he arrived on the fourth floor, the ghost Zhang Lin reminded him that something had happened on the third floor.

By the time he rushed to the third floor, the first thing he saw was Xia Han lying on the ground, already lifeless.

Xia Han died there, and it was unknown who the murderer was. The strange thing was that there were no wounds or fatal injuries on her body. The coroner initially determined that it was a sudden cardiac death, but Lu Liangting knew that Xia Han was in very good health and definitely did not die suddenly.

After all, Xia Han was his cousin. He couldn’t just continue his task after her death, so he called the police.

“What happened after that day, during the time I was unconscious?”

In a corner of the third floor with no one around, Lu Liangting asked with a serious expression.

He really wanted to know what exactly happened afterwards, how the old landlord got in, why the female ghost went berserk, where Zhao Mingyue went, and why the other female ghost appeared in the female ghost’s memory to save him.

Saving him once or twice might have been a coincidence.

But saving him continuously like this several times was definitely not a coincidence!

Lu Liangting was eager to know the truth behind these events.

Being stared at by Lu Liangting, Zhao Mingyue felt quite awkward. After all, she had abandoned Lu Liangting and ran off by herself, leaving him and the old landlord alone in room 506 to face the ghost.

Bai Yu was right, Lu Liangting wouldn’t be in any danger. If there were any danger, he wouldn’t be here.

But she couldn’t just say that she abandoned him because Bai Yu said he would be fine, and she went back to take a bath.

“At that time, ah, at that time, after you went in, you fainted. No matter how much I called, I couldn’t wake you up. So I went to check that room by myself, and then I saw that female ghost in the bathroom. Then the ghost saw me, and I had to run. I had just run out of the room when the door was shut tight, and I couldn’t open it no matter what.”

“I had no choice. With so many ghosts on the fourth and fifth floors, I just hid at home and never came out.”

Zhao Mingyue’s eyes were clear, showing no trace of lying. Lu Liangting nodded and fell into thought.

“Then do you know the whereabouts of that ghost, the one in the white dress?”

“No, I don’t know.”

“Think about it again. Since she appeared there, she must have had an accident in that building. Due to the influence of the female ghost on the fifth floor, she has been unable to leave for a long time, and she is suffering every second…” Lu Liangting’s tone was a bit urgent. He paused when he said this, “Sorry, I got a bit agitated. I was just thinking, she saved my life, so I should also do something for her.”

Lu Liangting had done many tasks, and it was rare for him to be so deeply impressed by a ghost. Of course, it was also because no other ghost had saved him multiple times during a task.

With Lu Liangting’s appearance, it was very easy for people to overlook some things about him. At this moment, it was very obvious that he was tired and haggard, apparently not having rested much in the past two days. It was normal for him to be a bit emotionally agitated.

“I don’t know either. I didn’t investigate that building much and haven’t seen her again.”

“Alright then. I think I’ll go back there when I have time. Maybe I’ll meet her again. By the way, Mingyue, the female ghost on the fifth floor is not gone yet. As long as she’s there, the ghosts in that building will keep appearing. You’re living there alone, so be very careful. I’ll help you find a new place to live in a few days.”

“No, no need. I’ll be fine living there. We just need to find a way to deal with that ghost, right?” With Bai Yu around, Zhao Mingyue was naturally not afraid. She waved her hands repeatedly.

In Zhao Mingyue’s arms, Miss Rabbit’s red eyes stared at Lu Liangting, tilting its head like a lifeless object.

Bai Yu listened to their conversation.

Everything was normal so far and within her expectations. Lu Liangting would definitely ask about what happened that night.

What she didn’t expect was that this guy actually hadn’t forgotten about her.

Not only had he not forgotten, but he was even more obsessed, so persistent that it was scary.

It even made her start to doubt what exactly this guy’s purpose was.

Would a normal person be so obsessed with a ghost?

Your cousin died in Sunshine Apartments, but instead of wanting to find the culprit, you’re worried about her. It’s truly outrageous.

Judging from Lu Liangting’s tone and meaning, he was determined not to give up until he found her, even if it meant going back to the haunted apartments again.

Bai Yu wondered if Lu Liangting was saying this on purpose, if he had noticed something and was now deliberately testing Zhao Mingyue. But the more she thought about it, the less likely it seemed.

She really couldn’t understand why, to the point that Bai Yu even came up with an even more ridiculous idea.

That is: Could this guy have taken a liking to me?

If that was really the case, then one could only say that this guy’s taste was really unique. Would a normal person like a ghost? A ghost they had only met a few times?

Bai Yu dismissed this idea, as it was really a bit far-fetched. At this moment, Zhao Mingyue’s hand suddenly pressed on her head, and she quickly walked towards the classroom.

“Hey, little sister Bai Yu, Lu Liangting is looking for you. It seems like you’ve really left a deep impression on him. What should we do, wait for him to come?”

“If he dares to come, I’ll kill him.”

“Oh, what a cruel little sister. Even though he’s dying to see you.”

“……”

“Alright, I’ll stop. Don’t be mad.” Patting Bai Yu’s head, Zhao Mingyue walked back into the classroom.

Li Nan had already returned by this time and was sitting in his own seat, his head lowered, seemingly busy with something.

Zhao Mingyue glanced at him and sat back in her seat. She took out a piece of chocolate from the box in her desk and handed it to Li Nan.

“You should try it too. It’s delicious.”

Li Nan turned around and took the chocolate. He was about to run his finger across Zhao Mingyue’s palm, but Zhao Mingyue withdrew her hand first.

“Mingyue, don’t leave after school. I have something I want to say to you, something very important.”

“No way.” Zhao Mingyue refused straightforwardly.

“I…” Li Nan choked, anger inevitably rising in his heart.

Lu Liangting could, so why couldn’t he?

“Why?”

“Because I need to go to work.”

“I’ll give you money. I’ll give you ten times your salary for today!”

“I don’t want it. I prefer to earn money on my own.”

“You must stay today, otherwise…” Li Nan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence after a long time, “Otherwise, we can’t be friends anymore!”
