Qian Liye heard the little fox say that, and he gave an embarrassed laugh.
He said, "Aren't we… aren't we already out of the elevator? If a knife is at your throat, but someone is holding a knife on the opposite wall, it's definitely different."
The little fox stroked his chin and replied, "It's nothing, really. It's just that in that elevator, someone probably died, and there's a lingering spirit."
"It should… it should have been a long time ago."
Qian Liye was instantly dumbfounded, "What?!"
Hearing the little fox say that, Qian Liye truly felt even more fearful.
He and his uncle, Qian Zhongming, had always had a good relationship. Therefore, Qian Liye naturally visited his uncle Qian Zhongmin many times, and had gone back and forth in this building countless times.
When he didn't know, it was fine. But now, upon hearing that something bad had happened in the elevator, and that something bad had been living there all along, anyone who heard such a thing would naturally feel scared.
Seeing how scared Qian Liye was, the little fox kindly comforted him a couple of times.
"Looking at that thing being here for some years, and you haven't heard of anything bad happening, it means that for such a long time, it hasn't harmed anyone. So you don't need to be so scared."
Qian Liye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and could only say helplessly, "That's what you say, but anyone who hears about this kind of thing would probably be scared, wouldn't they?"
The little fox said, "You asked."
Qian Liye couldn't help but be curious and continued to ask.
"When my uncle bought this house, was it so cheap because an accident happened in the elevator? But if someone really died, how would no one know?"
The little fox shook his head, "It's more than that."
Qian Liye froze and said foolishly, "More than what? More than what?"
The little fox said, "In your building, there are other…"
"Stop! Stop, stop, stop!" Before the little fox could finish, Qian Liye quickly stopped him from saying more. "No, wait a moment. Don't tell me about these things. Now that I think about it, I probably don't have such a strong heart."
The little fox shrugged, "Alright, as you wish."
Seeing that the two had stopped talking, Ye Tiancheng finally spoke, "This is the fourth floor. Which unit does your uncle live in? Let's go see your uncle first and find out what's going on."
Qian Liye reacted and realized that they were delaying.
So, he immediately turned around and led the way for Ye Tiancheng and the others again. "Two, please follow me. There are only two households in this building. My uncle lives this way."
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox followed Qian Liye to one of the units on the fourth floor. Qian Liye was at the front. He pressed the doorbell first. After waiting for a while, he saw a small window, about half the size of a palm, below the doorbell on the security door being opened from the inside.
A female voice came from inside the door, asking, "Who is it?"
Qian Liye immediately replied, "Auntie, it's me, Liye! As we agreed before, I'm bringing that capable Mr. over to help Uncle take a look. That Mr. agreed, so he came with me. Auntie, please open the door quickly."
Inside the door, Mrs. Liu, Qian Zhongming's wife, had already seen the situation outside through the small window on the door. Confirming that Qian Liye was standing outside, she immediately opened the door.
"It's Liye, come in quickly."
Mrs. Liu said, closing the small window and pushing the door open.
After opening the door, Mrs. Liu's gaze first fell on Ye Tiancheng. She felt that he was very young and good-looking, but she didn't look down on Ye Tiancheng because of that.
In today's world, who would judge people based on their appearance in this regard?
Not to mention, the deeds of Ye Tiancheng and his group, when they first appeared, they killed a mutated giant cockroach and saved Qian Liye's life.
That was a truly deadly insect. If Ye Tiancheng hadn't appeared in time, Qian Liye would have lost his life long ago, and there was no possibility of deception. That was genuine skill.
Even if they couldn't solve their own problem, they were not people they could afford to offend.
Qian Liye also introduced to Mrs. Liu, "Auntie, this is the very capable gentleman I told you about. His surname is Ye. The one next to him is his younger brother, Mr. Xiao Ye is also very capable."
"I heard that Mr. Ye and Mr. Xiao Ye specialize in different areas of problem-solving. Because we're not sure about Uncle's situation, they both came to help take a look."
Mrs. Liu quickly said, "Then thank you very much, Mr. Ye, and Mr. Xiao Ye!"
"Gentlemen, please come in!"
Mrs. Liu respectfully invited Ye Tiancheng and the little fox in. As she walked, she explained to them, "Please don't mind, gentlemen. My husband's luck has been really bad lately. He went out a few days ago, and his leg was injured again. Fortunately, he didn't lose his life, which is already a great fortune, but he can't get out of bed."
"So he can't come out to greet you. Please don't mind, gentlemen."
Ye Tiancheng saw that Mrs. Liu was so polite and had such a good attitude, and moreover, she wasn't too concerned about these things, so he said, "It's nothing, we understand."
Perhaps to be thorough in etiquette, after Mrs. Liu brought Ye Tiancheng and the others inside, she didn't rush to have Ye Tiancheng and the others see her husband. Instead, she took them to the living room and first served tea and water to entertain them.
In short, she didn't dare to mention asking Ye Tiancheng and the others to solve their family's problem first.
Ye Tiancheng was not in a hurry. After sitting down, he looked around and gave the little fox a look, knowing that this was probably the area the little fox was good at.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox drank tea while observing the situation in the house. Mrs. Liu didn't dare to proactively ask them to do anything, and the living room became quiet. Seeing the atmosphere, Qian Liye quietly approached Mrs. Liu and spoke in a low voice.
Qian Liye probably didn't know that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had cultivation. His small volume was enough for them to hear clearly.
However, Qian Liye wasn't gossiping or anything.
He was just telling Mrs. Liu about what the little fox had told him after they arrived. Mrs. Liu listened with exclamations, and when she realized she had lost her composure, she looked at Ye Tiancheng and the little fox with embarrassment.
But it was also evident that Mrs. Liu was filled with fear and trepidation.
After observing for a while and finishing a whole cup of tea, the little fox took the initiative to speak, breaking the overly quiet atmosphere in the living room.
He asked Mrs. Liu, "May I ask, does your husband live in that room?"
The little fox pointed to a closed door.
Mrs. Liu looked in the direction the little fox pointed and was surprised. She immediately nodded repeatedly and said, "It is indeed that room. Mr. Xiao Ye, how did you know?"
Qian Liye reacted extremely quickly.
"Earlier in the hallway and in the elevator, Mr. Xiao Ye could see many things. Could it be that he saw something in Uncle's room?!"
Mrs. Liu also let out a small gasp and looked at the little fox nervously.
The little fox curled his index finger and rubbed his nose, "I did see a little something, but you don't need to be so nervous."
How could they not be nervous?
Qian Liye and Mrs. Liu were both terrified.
Seeing them like this, the little fox thought for a moment and then changed the subject, "Let's go in and take a look first. Is it convenient?"
Mrs. Liu was very concerned about her husband. Hearing the little fox say that, she immediately nodded and said, "Convenient! Of course, it's convenient! I'll take you two in!"
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox immediately put down their teacups and followed Mrs. Liu to the door of that room. Mrs. Liu turned the doorknob.
This room was naturally the master bedroom, the room where Mrs. Liu and her husband lived together.
Mrs. Liu entered the room first. After inviting Ye Tiancheng and the two of them in, she immediately walked to the bedside and told her husband, who was lying on the bed, that Qian Liye had brought Ye Tiancheng and the others over to take a look.
Qian Zhongming had broken his leg and couldn't get up himself. He struggled a bit. Mrs. Liu saw Qian Zhongming's intention and quickly reached out to help him sit up.
Qian Zhongming also thanked Ye Tiancheng and the others very politely and gratefully before talking about the main business.
Ye Tiancheng avoided Qian Zhongming's thanks, only saying that this matter would probably require his younger brother, the little fox, as he himself was not skilled. The little fox looked around and did not rush to a conclusion.
The little fox first asked Qian Zhongming about the beginning of his misfortune.
Qian Zhongming naturally answered everything.
He told Ye Tiancheng and the little fox that at first, Qian Zhongming just felt a little unlucky, the kind of ordinary bad luck, like stepping on chewing gum on the road, accidentally knocking over a cup and ruining documents, very small things.
When ordinary people encounter such things, they would at most complain a little irritably, wondering why they were so unlucky recently, and wouldn't take it too seriously.
If the situation hadn't escalated later, Qian Zhongming wouldn't have recalled that time when recalling the entire process.
Qian Zhongming didn't take it seriously at first, but later, Qian Zhongming's bad luck continued to escalate, to the point where it caused him injury.
For example, scalding hot water was splashed on him, he was almost hit by a car running a red light while crossing the road, and someone pushed him from behind while he was standing on the roadside. These incidents became increasingly outrageous.
Several times, they threatened Qian Zhongming's life.
Because of the current situation, ordinary people knew many different things. Therefore, after experiencing multiple misfortunes, Qian Zhongming thought that something strange might have happened.
But no matter how much Qian Zhongming tried to recall, he couldn't figure out how he had provoked this thing.
He considered himself honest and diligent, worked hard, had never offended anyone, and had many friends. How could he have provoked something that wanted to kill him?
Since this matter had already threatened his life, Qian Zhongming naturally thought that it was better to believe it than not, and he couldn't gamble with his own life. After considering it, he went to the Haicheng branch of the Special Operations Team and briefly explained his situation.
The Special Operations Team received similar registration information every day, at least eight or ten. But it wasn't always accurate. The registration personnel naturally needed to visit and confirm before they could ascertain if it was true.
Although Qian Zhongming was harmed and there might be residual traces on him, the outside world was chaotic. Even a walk on the street might bring some bad aura. Even if nothing happened, it was still necessary to confirm on-site and test the places Qian Zhongming frequented.
In fact, Qian Zhongming's guess was correct. When the registration personnel followed Qian Zhongming back home and turned on their instruments, they indeed detected a reaction.
