However, this apartment was indeed sold at a ridiculously sky-high price.

Other than the other villa area in Western Town, this apartment was probably the most expensive building around.

One could see successful and influential individuals entering the apartment while holding their briefcases.

Every unit in the apartment was equipped with top-notch electronic services. Thus, it had maximum security as there were surveillance cameras everywhere.

Of course, the cameras were no more than just a pile of iron sc.r.a.ps. With just a swift blink…

The cameras would seem to come to life and hastily avoided recording his image.

Helian Wei Wei was still worried if His Highness would be seen in that form. She put on a hoodie for him but his grey-white ears were still upright, looking extremely adorable.

On the surface, the apartment did not seem to be haunted.

This apartment was even built at a location with exceptionally great Feng Shui, as it was constructed on the mountain ranges, or Dragon Vein in Feng Shui terminology, that ran from east to west. Additionally, the Summer Palace was erected at the end of the architecture. They must have sought advice from the professional Feng Shui masters when they built this apartment, as the Yin and Yang were very balanced and the aura of resentment would not acc.u.mulate easily. It was indeed a very impressive apartment.

Helian Wei Wei was still holding Baili Jia Jue. She did not notice anything peculiar when they entered the apartment.

The apartment was eerily quiet, with seemingly few people around, while the marble floor glistened under the artificial lighting. It was clearly a very luxurious apartment and every corner of the building was sparkling clean.

A person was entering to go into the lift, before turning his head around and peering at Helian Wei Wei, as though wanting to ask them some questions.

His Highness' head was still lowered, without looking up at him.

Helian Wei Wei merely waved her hands at the person with a smiling face.

That person mumbled to himself, “When did these two weird people move into this apartment?”

It was inevitable as Helian Wei Wei was indeed dressed weirdly in others' eyes. After all, no normal people would leave their house in a kasaya.

Baili Jia Jue looked down and smiled, still holding Helian Wei Wei's hand with his finger. “It seems like someone thinks that we look suspicious.”

“There are many people who judge people by their outer appearances nowadays.” Helian Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders indifferently. She furrowed her eyebrows when she looked at Baili Jia Jue, saying, “Look at you, you're a teenager but you're wearing a black suit and black gloves. People who don't know you might think that you're cosplaying someone. Why don't you change your clothes?”

Baili Jia Jue merely stared at Helian Wei Wei and kissed her fingertips with his cold yet tender lips. “Only this kind of clothes would make me look like your loyal dog. Moreover, I thought that you love haughty but secretly affectionate men, right?”

Helian Wei Wei glared at him and asked, “How do you know?”

“How can I not understand my master's mind?” Baili Jia Jue smiled as he rubbed his ears against her neck and whispered seductively, “I also know which part of your body would be stimulated when touched, heh.”

Helian Wei Wei was not used to being hugged in the lift. Even if His Highness seemed very adorable, she was embarra.s.sed about being overly intimate with him in public.

Helian Wei Wei coughed loudly, and then pushed His Highness away. “Alright, we've arrived at the tenth floor. Let's get down to business.”

Baili Jia Jue disliked being pushed away, especially when the order was still in effect.

“Why aren't you moving?” Helian Wei Wei turned her head around in confusion.

Baili Jia Jue wore a little smile and replied, “Nothing.”

They followed the information from the conversation with the customer and slowly walked to the front of unit 101. Every residence here was a duplex unit, with the upper and lower levels connected by a set of stairs. Furthermore, the door was made from high-end materials and would reflect cold rays of light from its metallic surface.

Helian Wei Wei did not hesitate and immediately started to key in the pa.s.sword for the digital lock based on the pa.s.sword given by the customer.

However, after only pressing two numbers, the door was abruptly opened from inside.

Weirdly, the person who opened the door was not a woman.

Instead, it was a very handsome man with tousled short hair and a cold expression. A pair of golden-rimmed gla.s.ses were perched on his straight nose, and his face seemed curiously familiar.

Instantly, Helian Wei Wei recalled where she had seen him.

He was the top doctor who was very famous recently. Not only did he come from a stellar family background, but he was also extremely good looking and wealthy. He even represented the First Hospital to partic.i.p.ate in an international symposium. When the media released his photos, swarms of netizens immediately made him their new idol.

After all, it would not be an exaggeration to claim that this man was a winner in life.

Many women desperately wanted to marry him.

However, most of them quickly abandoned the idea when they saw a certain photo.

In the photo, a charmingly gorgeous lady was standing beside the man in the photo. According to the rumors, both of them were a perfect match. They were both professionals, as well as senior and junior from the same school. Needless to say, they were simply a match made in heaven.

When Helian Wei Wei saw the news in the past, she had not been reunited with Baili Jia Jue. She was playing Plant and Zombies with Little Qingchen in her arms when the news popped up on the television.

She did not expect to meet the real person here.

The man looked like he had just taken a shower, even his short hair was completely soaked wet. When he narrowed his eyes, he seemed extremely uncongenial and distant. He looked at Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue with a vigilant glare and asked coldly, “Who are you?”

Helian Wei Wei laughed a little as she blocked Baili Jia Jue and replied, “We are Lan Ya's friend. She asked us to come and take something for her. Is it okay with you, Mr. Chen?”

The man seemed dumbfounded, as his facial expression started to change. He asked a hint of ridicule, “What is it? Why didn't she come personally for it?”

“She's probably worried about disturbing you.” Helian Wei Wei was still smiling but at that moment, her vision shifted from him toward the shadowy silhouette behind him.

That was her customer.

She was not a lost ghost.

Rather, the one who looked for Wei Wei was Lan Ya, a soul who was trapped in this house.

Other than Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, no one else could see Lan Ya's presence.

At that moment, Lan Ya was looking at the man with inexpressible grief.

The man was still smiling, with a glint of menace in his lips. “She would not ask you to come here if she doesn't want to bother me. Where is she now?”

Lan Ya shook her head at Helian Wei Wei.

Immediately, Helian Wei Wei understood what Lan Ya meant. She lied to him and replied, “She has been in a bad mood recently, so one of our male friends accompanied her to a foreign country. Mr. Chen is a doctor, so you should know that from the point of view of human ethology, the best way to forget a failed relationship is to replace it with a new one.”

The man's finger froze for a moment. Then, he laughed sarcastically and said, “Isn't it more than enough to use the same trick once? She even used it twice. When did she become so silly? In that case, please tell her clearly that she must come here personally if she wants to take anything.”

When she heard this, Lan Ya lowered her head sadly. Her long hair had slipped across her face, covering her facial expressions.

Even so, she still could not conceal the air of bitter misery emanating from her…
