'Maybe I made a mistake,' she thought. 'Too much is going on recently. Maybe I'm just tired.'

She didn't think too much into it. She turned and gazed at the pond in a daze.

After a while, her cell phone chimed. She looked at the screen and saw Ge Chen's text. He was asking where she was and how long she would take.

She started to write a reply when she heard a footstep coming from the sealed house.

It was light footsteps but she could tell that someone was wearing a man's boots.

She turned around once again. Behind her was the room where the dead body of her fourth brother-in-law was found. The door to the balcony was open.

'I can swear that the door was closed a moment ago,' she thought.

She forgot to send the text and stood up. She carefully stepped to the direction of the balcony without making a sound.

Before she passed the railing, she took a brick from the ground and went inside.

'There is always a scene where the MC goes inside a haunted house and the door closes automatically. I can't let that happen in here,' while talking to herself in her mind, she put the brick on the doorway so that the door wouldn't automatically close.

It was evening and so the sun had gone down. She had to turn on the torch using the torch app on her mobile.

Everything was just like she saw before. She turned on the light and saw several footprints on the dusty floor.

Xue Lin frowned. 'Those police officers… are they trying to destroy the evidence or what?'

She went to other rooms. She didn't turn on the lights of those rooms because others might notice them from other houses.

She carefully walked so that she couldn't make a sound. She kept her five senses wide open so that she could see or hear or sense anything.

Although she wasn't scared or nervous, her heart was beating fast.

She could see that there was no one in the room but she had a feeling that someone was behind her and following her wherever she was going.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

She heard footsteps once again. It came from the second floor.

Xue Lin spoke in her mind, 'Ghosts don't create the sound of footsteps. It may be the killer trying to take the clue that can prove who the killer is.'

She hastily went upstairs and the stairs made a slight cracking noise. She looked at the dark corridor and pointed the torchlight.

She checked every room and found nothing.

Crack! Crack!

'The storeroom in the corner…' Xue Lin strode toward the storeroom that was situated in the corner. She opened the door abruptly and looked around.

Everything should be tidied up but it was a mess. The old furniture was moved. She could tell just by looking at the dusty floor.

There were also shoe prints. It matched the shoeprint of the killer; the exact same one.

'Well, well, look at that,' Xue Lin smirked. Her eyes were on the footprints.

She was so absorbed that she didn't notice the door behind her was closing slowly.

When the door closed and was locked, Xue Lin turned around.

But, it was too late.

She saw a person and she gasped at that intruder.

"Oh my God!" it was the last thing that came out of her mouth.

Afterward, her cell phone slipped from her hand and the torch turned off.

Xue Lin was buried in darkness.

Ge Chen waited for Xue Lin to reply to his text but she didn't. He didn't like killing time for a mere text message.

He called Xue Lin but it didn't go through. It said that the network was unavailable.

He was stunned. 'How can that happen? Where on earth is she?'

Ge Chen tracked her GPS signal and found out that she was in the Fa Family house. He finally relaxed.

He thought, 'She should be all right there.'

Despite that, he felt uneasy in his heart. He grabbed the rental car key and went to the garage.

He directly drove to the main house and saw the eldest uncle along with some people outside the gate.

Noticing Ge Chen, the eldest uncle seemed surprised. "You are… Xue Lin's husband," he stated. He forgot his name. Too many things were going around and he was completely occupied.

"Yes, uncle, have you seen her? She told me that she would come here. I've come to bring her back with me," Ge Chen spoke politely.

"Is Xue Lin here? I didn't know that," the eldest uncle confusedly said. "You can go inside and ask others but if she was here, she would have talked to me. I didn't see her after you two left in the morning."

"I see. Thank you for your time," Ge Chen went inside and asked several people about Xue Lin. None of them could tell her whereabouts.

Wanwan was leaning against a chair on the balcony of the first floor. She looked tired after crying her heart out all night. Seeing Ge Chen, hatred flashed in her eyes.

She sneered and said, "Don't tell me that your wife has gone missing. Who knows if she is having an affair."

"Wanwan!" the eldest brother chided her. "We all know that Xue Lin isn't that kind of a person. Out of all of us, she is the only person with knowledge, fame and dignity."

"What dignity? She is a curse. She came and my husband died. It's all her fault!" Wanwan shouted. "I will never forgive Xue Lin!"

The second aunt came out upon hearing her daughter shouting. She said with tearful eyes, "How long are you going to behave like that, my daughter? You have to stay calm. Think about your child."

Ge Chen gazed at Wanwan and threatened her in a cold voice, "I don't care about your circumstances. If you dare to speak ill of my wife again, I won't show you mercy. We will directly see you to the court."
