The girl was about to pull off the red cloth, and Liu Tan, chilled to the bone, hurriedly shouted, "Quick, put your hand down, don't pull off the red cloth."
The girl was stunned for a moment and lowered her hand.
Liu Tan placed his hands on the wheelchair and quickly pushed it forward, snatching the bronze statue into his own hands.
"What's wrong, Young Master Liu? It's just a bronze statue. How expensive is it that you're so nervous?"
The girl was startled by Young Master Liu's hurried demeanor.
Seeing that the red cloth had not been pulled off, Liu Tan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not about whether it's expensive or not. I just learned from a master that this bronze statue is very sinister. The master said that the red cloth on the bronze statue cannot be removed, otherwise we will be in danger."
The people around them couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. "I didn't expect Young Master Liu to start believing in these things."
"It's better to believe it than not to believe it. If you had watched that master's live stream, you would know. That master is very accurate."
"If you don't believe me, I'll recommend the master's live stream to you."
Liu Tan recommended Zhao Yan's live stream.
Regardless of whether they believed him or not, he put down his phone and turned to another girl, saying, "Chuchu, come and push me."
Another girl walked behind Liu Tan and pushed his wheelchair.
"Push me to the study," Liu Tan said.
Arriving at the study, Liu Tan placed the bronze statue back into the wooden box and put it on the bookshelf.
Having done this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He went back to continue his birthday celebration.
The birthday party was very lively and lasted until past two in the morning.
He had drunk too much, and his head was a bit fuzzy.
Looking at his friend lying on the sofa, Liu Tan called him a weakling.
Neither of them could match his drinking capacity.
Pushing his wheelchair to the bathroom, as he sat on the toilet, he suddenly heard a "bang bang" knocking sound.
The sound seemed to come from next door, then it felt like it was coming from the roof, the sound intermittent.
After finishing his business, Liu Tan sat back in his wheelchair and pushed it to the sofa.
The "bang bang bang" sound grew louder and louder.
Liu Tan looked up at the ceiling. He was sure that the sound seemed to be coming from upstairs.
He cursed inwardly. He had heard it late at night before, but the noise wasn't this loud.
"It's so late, and they're still jumping rope," Liu Tan thought angrily.
Looking at his two friends snoring on the sofa, he patted their shoulders and said, "Old Zhang, don't sleep here, go to the guest room to sleep."
"Old Li, you too."
He shook them a few times, and his two friends woke up.
"Go to the guest room to sleep," Liu Tan reminded them, lest they catch a chill sleeping here.
Hearing this, his two friends stood up and walked towards the guest room.
Liu Tan looked around, noticing the absence of the two girls. Where were his girlfriend Wang Chuchu and Zhou Xiaoyue?
"Old Zhang, where are Chuchu and Zhou Xiaoyue?" Liu Tan asked.
Old Zhang rubbed his eyes and pointed back at the sofa. Finding no one there, he looked confused. "That's strange, they were just here a moment ago."
"Could they have gone back?"
Liu Tan picked up his phone. "No way, they would have told me if they were leaving."
"Then I don't know," Old Zhang said, waving his hand.
"I just saw them sitting on the sofa," Old Zhang said.
"Alright, you go to sleep. I'll make a call," Liu Tan said.
As he spoke, he made a call.
Finding no one answering, he sent a few more WeChat messages.
Just as he was about to call again, a curse came from upstairs.
Liu Tan pushed his wheelchair towards the guest room.
He saw Old Zhang in the room pressed tightly against the wall, pointing fearfully at the bed in front of him.
"How long has it been since your place was cleaned?" Old Zhang said, his voice trembling.
"Someone cleans it every day, what's wrong?" Liu Tan said.
"What's wrong? So many dead cockroaches!" Old Zhang flipped over the quilt.
Liu Tan glanced at the quilt and was also startled.
The quilt was full of dead cockroaches, densely packed together, like a giant cockroach patty, making his scalp tingle.
"Hurry up and hire a maid. You're a rich second generation, after all," Old Zhang said, quickly walking out of the room.
"There's always a maid at home, but the maid had something to do a few days ago," Liu Tan replied.
He was also puzzled. It had only been a short time, yet so many cockroaches had gathered in the quilt.
"What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!"
A terrified scream came from another guest room.
The two of them exchanged glances and saw Old Li running over in a hurry.
He had been a bit drunk earlier, but now he was completely sobered up by the fright.
"Your guest room also has dead cockroaches?" Liu Tan asked.
"It's not dead cockroaches. As soon as I lay down, I felt someone touching my face. I thought you two were messing around, so I opened my eyes."
"Damn it, I saw a dead person's head. Her head was placed next to my pillow, and her eyes were staring dead at me," Old Li said in panic.
Old Zhang said, "Young Master Liu, can you put your inflatable doll away properly?"
Liu Tan said in a deep voice, "Do you think I need that kind of thing?"
As he spoke, he felt a sense of panic.
He pushed his wheelchair over and looked through the gap in the guest room door.
He didn't see anything. He then pushed the door open and looked at the bed.
When he saw nothing, he immediately turned to Old Li.
"Are you drunk and seeing things?" Liu Tan asked doubtfully.
Old Li flipped over the bed quilt a few times and exclaimed, "That's strange, it was here just now. Where did it go now?"
"Forget it, I don't dare to stay in your place. I'll sleep outside for a night," Old Li said, still shaken.
"I'll go with you," Old Zhang said.
"No, I'm a bit scared to be here alone," Liu Tan said anxiously.
Ever since he heard Zhao Yan's words, his mind kept connecting it to the bronze statue.
The thought made him even more afraid to be alone.
"Let's go together," Liu Tan said softly.
"Then let's go."
Walking to the sofa, Liu Tan picked up the clothes on the sofa, preparing to put on a jacket before going out.
As he picked up the clothes, he saw the bags of Zhou Xiaoyue and Wang Chuchu.
He hadn't seen them before because they were covered by the jacket. Their phones were also next to the bags.
He hadn't seen them before because they were covered by the jacket, and the phones were on silent mode. If these two had left, they would have definitely taken their bags and phones.
They might forget their bags, but forgetting their phones would be inconvenient wherever they went.
Thinking of this, Liu Tan suddenly had a bad premonition.
At that moment, the "bang bang bang" sound came from upstairs again.
His eyes suddenly darted towards the direction of the sound.
The sound seemed to be coming from the study.
