Chapter 144 The Ghost Knocks

Ye Tian hesitated. He had planned to watch a movie and have a late-night snack with Lin Ziyi, so he said, "It's a small matter, no need to thank me. I have something to do this afternoon, so I won't go. I'll treat you and Wen Bin to a meal another day."

Jin Duoduo on the other end was very disappointed. She said, "Oh, alright then. Let's get together another day."

After hanging up the phone, Jin Duoduo sighed softly. She was currently lying on the sofa in her rental apartment. She had just washed her hair and was preparing to put on makeup to go out. But since she couldn't arrange to meet Ye Tian, she had to abandon her original plan.

"Ye Tian has a girlfriend as beautiful as Lin Ziyi, so why would he care about a little sparrow like me?" she mused, staring at the ceiling.

Jin Duoduo didn't have a boyfriend. To be precise, she had broken up with her boyfriend a month and a half ago.

Her previous boyfriend was engaged to his boss's daughter. Although the boss's daughter was both fat and short, it didn't stop her ex-boyfriend from pursuing her diligently.

The reason was simple: her ex-boyfriend's boss was worth over a billion yuan. If he could become his son-in-law, at least his future wealth and prosperity would be guaranteed.

Just then, Jin Duoduo's phone rang. She glanced at it and was slightly taken aback. It was her ex-boyfriend calling. What did he want with her?

Although she had deleted her ex-boyfriend's number long ago, she remembered this number vividly, so she recognized it at a glance.

After a moment of hesitation, Jin Duoduo hung up. She was utterly disappointed with her ex-boyfriend and had nothing she wanted to talk to him about. It was best if they never contacted each other again.

However, her ex-boyfriend then sent a long text message. It roughly said that he was not doing well now, his girlfriend was like a tigress and would hit him at the slightest provocation. What was even more outrageous was that his girlfriend was dating three other men simultaneously, and each of them was more handsome than him.

Reading the message, Jin Duoduo softly scoffed, "Serves you right!"

Afterward, her ex-boyfriend called again. Jin Duoduo hung up without hesitation and then turned off her phone.

With her phone off, Jin Duoduo suddenly felt hungry. She muttered to herself, "Can't eat, can't eat, I'm on a diet!"

She mumbled a few words to herself, but her eyes were fixed on the few bags of snacks placed on the table nearby.

Opening the snacks, Jin Duoduo turned on the TV, preparing to relax. Hearing that her ex-boyfriend was unhappy, she felt quite pleased and decided to treat herself.

Just as Jin Duoduo was dozing off, there was a knock on the door. Jin Duoduo immediately woke up. She went to the door, looked through the peephole, and saw a bloody, mangled face with eerie blue eyes.

"Ah!"

Jin Duoduo screamed in fright and stumbled backward. Her face turned ashen, and she quickly picked up another phone.

She had two phones, one for work and one for personal use. At this moment, her first thought in danger was not to call the police, but to call Ye Tian.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian was meditating in his room. He had originally planned to take Lin Ziyi to the movies, but Wu Zongnian's concubine had dragged her away for a spa treatment.

It was about eight o'clock in the evening. As he was meditating, he saw an unknown number. Upon answering, he heard Jin Duoduo's voice.

"Ye Tian, there's a ghost outside my door!"

Ye Tian was startled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Jin Duoduo cried, "It's a ghost, a bloody face, with green eyes, it's so scary!"

At that moment, the knocking on the door resumed. Jin Duoduo screamed again in terror.

Ye Tian was also taken aback and said, "Give me the address."

Jin Duoduo quickly reported the address. The two locations were more than ten kilometers apart, so Ye Tian immediately drove to find Jin Duoduo.

On the way, he made a call to the police and informed them of Jin Duoduo's address.

It was past eight o'clock, and there was still heavy traffic. Ye Tian couldn't drive too fast. He estimated that it would take at least thirty minutes to reach Jin Duoduo's residence.

So, he asked Jin Duoduo to turn on the video call. On the other end, Jin Duoduo's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of terror.

"Ye Tian, I'm so scared," she sobbed. It was understandable; any girl would be terrified to see a bloody, ghostly face.

Ye Tian said, "Don't be scared, I'm on my way, and I've already called the police."

He thought for a moment and said, "Point your phone camera at the door."

Jin Duoduo then turned on the rear camera of her phone, and Ye Tian could clearly see the door.

At this moment, the knocking on the door sounded again. Jin Duoduo retreated in fear.
