"Are you sure you didn't see wrong? Maybe because of Yi Fei and the Glasses incident, you were too nervous and hallucinated," Li Yi Ze didn't want to admit that the villa he'd found actually had ghosts.
Even if his objective might not be achieved, this villa was borrowed from someone else through considerable effort.
It would be a great disservice to the owner if a rumor of it being haunted were to spread.
"Perhaps," A Rui didn't argue, after all, he hadn't gotten a clear look either.
"Since the inspection is mostly done, let's go down and discuss when we should leave," Li Yi Ze looked at the others.
Having been seen coming out of his room by Yue Yue, no matter how he explained, she probably wouldn't believe that Yue Yue had only come to stay the night out of fear, and that nothing had happened between them.
"Do you guys think this house really has ghosts?" Da B suddenly asked.
"Quite a few people have lived here before, and we haven't heard any rumors of hauntings. If it were truly haunted, they wouldn't dare to live here."
"What do you mean by that?" A Rui felt there was a hidden meaning in his words.
"I mean, is someone trying to scare us? I don't believe in ghosts or spirits anyway." He said dismissively. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe in ghosts.
"I think Da B makes sense," Li Yi Ze agreed.
"But we have three ladies here. We can't possibly have them join us for the investigation."
A Rui knew his friends were eager to find whoever was faking the hauntings, but with Lin Yan and the others present, they wouldn't be able to act freely.
"Let's go down first. Don't you have the butler's contact information? Call him over. He'll surely know this house better than you do," Glasses also felt what they were saying was right.
The blood on his hand hadn't congealed for a long time, it didn't feel like real blood. Since it wasn't real blood, there was nothing to be afraid of.
The group went downstairs together. The people sitting on the sofas on the first floor looked at them with concern, seemingly wanting to know the situation upstairs.
They recounted their findings upstairs, but omitted the part about seeing a white figure.
"Later, we'll contact the butler to help us pack our luggage, and we'll leave at dawn," A Rui concluded.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible," Lin Yan took out her phone and waved it, saying helplessly, "I don't know when it happened, but my phone has lost signal."
"What!"
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, everyone immediately checked their phones and saw a red "x" in the signal indicator.
"When did this happen?" Li Yi Ze's face turned grim.
"I don't know. I noticed the lack of signal when I checked my phone just now, but I'm not sure when it went out."
"Then why didn't you say something sooner!" Da B's tone was unpleasant.
"I waited until everyone was here to say it. I only noticed it after you all went upstairs," Lin Yan explained. She didn't want to fall out with these people yet.
At this moment, she understood why, despite her role being the one the male lead liked, she wasn't the female lead.
Normally, it was fine, but when something happened, they were all a group, and she was just an outsider.
Just like they had kept Yue Yue's relationship with the male lead a secret from the original owner.
The original owner was merely an obsession of the male lead. Even if she had agreed to his courtship, her status in the male lead's and his friends' hearts would never compare to Yue Yue's.
