Leaving the gym, I took the car to the repair shop.

Back home, I removed my makeup, changed into a different face and outfit, and returned to the villa as Guo Xiaoyun.

Just as I entered the foyer, I heard a sharp, piercing scream, "Ah... there's a ghost..."

I leisurely changed my shoes, peeked into the living room, and saw a close-up of a man on TV, his ghastly pale face contrasting eerily against the dark background.

"He... Man, you're... so... cruel, to... me!"

The man grinned, his mouth twisted in a half-smile, and said slowly, "I... will... come... back, wait... for me."

Watching He Man cover her eyes in fear, trembling all over, I smirked.

He Man shouted in agitation, "Gu Zhuo, you're the one who committed suicide, not me who caused your death, don't come looking for me."

She shouted in distress, running towards the door, almost colliding with me.

"Ah..." She didn't see clearly and thought it was Gu Zhuo appearing, falling to the ground in fear, curling up.

I reached out to help her up, calmly asking, "Madam, what's wrong?"

He Man, realizing it was me, as if grasping a lifeline, said, "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, my dead husband has appeared, please help me."

While she was confused, I quickly walked over, unplugged the power, and took the opportunity to turn off the remote control.

"Madam, it's okay now. Don't panic, did you just see it wrong?"

He Man pulled me close, seeking comfort, and I endured the disgust without pushing her away.

"Xiaoyun, I didn't see it wrong, it was my dead husband. He's dead, yet he's haunting me."

I remained silent for a moment, struggling to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

"Madam, I come from a rural area, and I've encountered supernatural events. Usually, in such situations, it's because the deceased harbors resentment. Do you have any regrets towards him?"

He Man's face turned pale, "What... what should I do?"

"When the dead have unfinished business, it brings misfortune to the living. Madam, do you want me to take you to the temple to get an amulet for protection?"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyun, you're so kind. Tomorrow, you'll help me go get one, name your price."

I readily agreed, watching He Man shakily go upstairs, silently sneering in my heart,

He Man, this is just the beginning.
