By the time they regained consciousness, they had all arrived behind the bloody wooden door.

The crowd was separated in a cluster of magnificent villas in a suburban area.

It was just strange that this place appeared to be dead even though it was extremely exquisitely constructed.

After Ning Qiushui passed through several villas, she confirmed that there was no one within the villa complex here.

It was eerily quiet.

"Is no one living here, or have they all gone out to work?"

Ning Qiushui carefully observed the villa cluster here and seemed to have discovered something.

"It's not right ......"

"The gardens have traces of recent pruning, there are goldfish in the pond, and there are some commonly used tools in the yard ...... There should be people living here."

"But ...... where have all these people gone?"

A trace of doubt flashed through Ning Qiushui's mind as he continued to walk forward.

Soon, he saw the villa that the mission had asked to enter.

It wasn't difficult to recognize.

It was because in the entire cluster of villas, there was only this one villa with someone standing outside.

It was a woman who was beautifully dressed, wearing a flashy outfit and carrying a suitcase.

She was wearing a sun hat, pinning a small red flower, holding a tender little girl, about eight or nine years old, and standing like this under the not-so-hot sunlight in the courtyard, looking at the people who came here with a smile on her face.

The woman smiled beautifully, the kind of human wife that gets more beautiful the more you look at it, but for some reason, Ning Qiushui looked at the woman s smile, and there was always a ...... feeling of coldness in his back.

That kind of smile, it didn't seem to be like greeting a guest, it was more like ......

Just as Ning Qiushui was lost in thought, a large hand slapped on Ning Qiushui's shoulder.

Ning Qiushui was startled and turned around to see that it was the bearded Liu Chengfeng.

"Little brother, you've arrived as well?"

Ning Qiushui nodded.

"Well, by the looks of it, that villa is where we're going."

Liu Chengfeng glanced at the villa from afar, his expression became quite heavy, and then he counted with his fingers and muttered:

"Bad ......"

Ning Qiushui's eyes lit up when she saw his appearance:

"You can tell fortunes?"

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

"Outside, I do help people tell fortunes ...... but I just remembered that I don't actually know how to tell fortunes, I'm just a magician."

Ning Qiushui's breath stuttered.

Numb.

This guy was really ...... a canon within a canon.

Lies say more than they believe is it?

And ......

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

This kind of thing why can you say it with such a straight face?

"Forget it ......"

Ning Qiushui shook her head helplessly and directly took a step, walking towards the villa where the young woman was in the distance.

Someone had already arrived here first.

The villa's mistress didn't speak to them, and only gave them an official smile.

This smile was neither cold nor warm, and when they spoke to the hostess, she would only reply with one sentence:

"Please wait, there are still a few escorts who have not yet arrived."

After about ten minutes, the seven people finally arrived.

At this time, as if some kind of condition had been triggered, the Mistress, who had always only smiled, suddenly opened her mouth and said to the several people:

"All here, right?"

"I'm really sorry to ask all of you to come together to take care of my mother, it's just that my husband is out of work, and I'm taking my daughter to the beach for her birthday, so there's really no one ...... at home."

"And since my mother is old, not only is she paralyzed in bed, but her intelligence has deteriorated severely, I was worried that two or three caregivers might not be able to take care of her well, so I simply hired all of you from the company ......"

"Money wise, you guys don't need to worry, I don't lack money."

"When I come back ...... if my mother is properly taken care of, I will pay all of you individually."

She said, leading the crowd to approach the villa, entering the 2nd floor of the villa, and coming into the wide room.

The room was not well lit.

Inside ...... there was also a not so good smell.

And on the room's large bed by the window, there was an old man with a kind face lying on the bed, looking peacefully at Ning Qiushui and the others.

On her face, there was an imperceptible and eerie smile, giving the crowd a feeling of ...... sweating.

"This is my mother ......."

After the woman introduced herself to the crowd, she came back to the old woman's side and squatted down, saying with deep emotion:

"Mom, I'm going to take Tuan Tuan to the beach er birthday, specially for you to find seven caregivers, these five days by them to take care of you ......"

After she finished speaking, she came closer to the old man's ear and whispered something.

Then the woman got up, looked at the crowd, and smiled:

"Although my mother is paralyzed and has a bit of Alzheimer's, she can understand some simple words, and her body is generally quite good, with no other illnesses and a good appetite ...... Oh yes, I haven't taken all of you to the kitchen yet."

She said, and brought the crowd downstairs again, to the villa's kitchen.

The kitchen was equally large, with all the kitchenware on the table, all cleaned very well.

To the left of the kitchen entrance, there were two huge refrigerators.

"It's already summer here, and the rainy season is coming, the rainstorms over here are horrible, and there may be heavy winds and rain in the next three to five days, so it will be very inconvenient to buy food and meat at that time ......"

The woman said, smiling at the crowd as she pulled open one of the large refrigerators, revealing the meat and vegetables stuffed to the brim inside:

"But you all don't have to worry."

"I've prepared plenty of food and water for you all ......"

"Also ...... my mother doesn't like eating vegetables, when you guys usually cook for her, just cook more meat."

After the woman finished speaking, she didn't immediately leave with her own daughter, but asked the crowd:

"Do you all have any more questions?"

Ning Qiushui was the first to speak:

"May I ask, does no one else live in this villa area?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled very calmly:

"Yes, in fact, this villa area has been constructed for some time now, but because it's too remote, there's no one else living in this place other than us, in fact, if it wasn't for our mother's original reason, we wouldn't be living here either ......"

After a pause, she added:

"In these five days, you just treat yourselves as if you are the owner of the villa, I have already made all the accommodation on the second floor for all of you, so when the time comes, you can just pick the room of your choice by yourselves."

"But pay attention to all of you ...... you absolutely, absolutely cannot enter the third floor of the villa, understand?"

When she said this, the woman's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

The crowd promised.

When the hostess saw that the crowd had agreed, she spread her face and smiled again.

"Since all of you already understand, then ...... my mother is in your hands!"

"Ya, the car is about to leave, I have to go with my daughter first, otherwise I will miss the high speed train ......"

She said, and in a hurry, she stepped on her high heels and came to the door, holding her own daughter and suitcase towards the outside.

Ning Qiushui vaguely felt that something wasn't quite right, so she came to the window and watched the direction the woman left.

Just as they were getting into the car, the little girl being held by the woman turned her head back and locked eyes with Ning Qiushui at the window.

This glance directly caused Ning Qiushui to freeze in place.

His eyesight was excellent.

Therefore, Ning Qiushui clearly saw a flash of ...... fear in the little girl s eyes!

She was afraid.

Scared of what?

Afraid of going to the beach?

Afraid of her own mother?

Or ...... afraid of this villa they were in?

Just as Ning Qiushui was thinking, Liu Chengfeng, a burly man with a beard, came up again and tsked:

"Look ha? People have gone far away all ......"

"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be young, but actually good at this mouthful of human wives ...... Good, good, the future is promising!"
