Chen Xiaobao was so scared that he squatted on the ground, but he didn't dare not look towards the door.

Before long, the room Feng Ruoxing had entered also had a crack in the door, and another face appeared in the other doorway.

"Sister Feng... Brother Ye..." Chen Xiaobao couldn't even stay squatting at this point, and knelt on the ground in an instant, "Where are you?"

Chen Xiaobao's crying wasn't quiet, but he could still hear rustling sounds coming from inside the door, like someone was scratching at the door with their hands.

In fact, it wasn't Chen Xiaobao's imagination. Ye Yang was really scratching at the door with his fingernails.

Standing in the other doorway, Feng Ruoxing used her inner force to transmit a sound to Ye Yang: "Are you sure you won't scare him too badly by frightening him like this?"

If someone were standing across from Ye Yang at this moment, looking into the room, they would see someone curled up and sitting by the foot of the bed, staring unblinkingly at Ye Yang's back.

He wasn't trying to scare Ye Yang; he was too frightened by Ye Yang to move.

Ye Yang had been sitting in the room all afternoon, not just waiting for nightfall, but using secret methods to summon the ghosts hidden near the Feng Shui Residence.

Ye Yang had forcibly summoned more than a dozen ghosts, and Chen Xiaobao was the only one in the entire Feng Shui Residence who didn't know that there were several dead people in the house.

He also didn't know that Ye Yang had been using the secret art of sound transmission to talk to the dead.

As for why the doors of the Feng Shui Residence opened automatically after dark, it was all Ye Yang having those wandering souls do the work for him.

Ye Yang calmly transmitted his voice, "People's ability to withstand fear is often stronger than imagined. Being scared to death or driven mad is just a small probability event. Chen Xiaobao won't die anytime soon."

Ye Yang paused slightly and said, "Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) should have fallen for it. Does Chen Xiaobao's current state look like someone who's used to seeing ghosts?"

Feng Ruoxing was slightly startled, "Are you saying that Chen Xiaobei is lying?"

Chen Xiaobao's fear wasn't an act. Chen Xiaobao's fear of ghosts was both reasonable and unreasonable.

According to Chen Xiaobei, both he and his sister were people who often saw ghosts.

This is like someone who often walks in the mountains seeing a snake dart out of the grass. Although they will be afraid, they won't panic and not know what to do.

At the very least, Chen Xiaobao shouldn't have been so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up.

Ye Yang responded, "It's still hard to say what's going on."

"Old Liu is a shrewd character. When it comes to scheming, few people can outsmart Old Liu. Even if Chen Xiaobei is someone he knew in a past life, he wouldn't be easily fooled."

Those who are good at using their wits have an instinctive calmness when things happen and rarely lose their composure due to emotions. It's unlikely that Chen Xiaobei could deceive Old Liu.

Ye Yang said again, "According to the information Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) sent, there must be a secret hidden in Weizi Lane. Since Yu Xuelin spent more than ten years investigating the secrets of Weizi Lane, he wouldn't easily hand over this secret to someone else."

"When Yu Xuelin threw the secret to San Yan Biao (Three-Eyed Biao), it was before Old Liu arrived in Weizi Lane. That is to say, from that time on, Yu Xuelin was planning something."

Hearing this, Feng Ruoxing interjected, "You mean, Yu Xuelin either wanted to use San Yan Biao (Three-Eyed Biao) to uncover the secret of Weizi Lane."

"Or he realized that he had brought about a fatal disaster and wanted to find someone to take the blame and avoid the misfortune?"

Ye Yang responded, "In addition to these two possibilities, there is another possibility: Yu Xuelin and San Yan Biao (Three-Eyed Biao) have joined forces."

"They are deceiving Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) on one hand and us on the other."

Ye Yang said, "From the current situation, Yu Xuelin should have been kidnapped. He deliberately left clues for people to rescue him."

"Who is he trying to find to be his rescuers? Is it us?"

"If it's us, then it proves that Yu Xuelin has joined forces with San Yan Biao (Three-Eyed Biao) to plot against Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)."

"If it's not us, then it means that there is more than just Yu Xuelin who wants the secret of Weizi Lane."

Ye Yang paused and said, "I can't think of anyone in the provincial capital besides our Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall) who can take on the business of Weizi Lane."

Feng Ruoxing worriedly said, "Li Po, could there be danger on that side?"

Ye Yang responded, "Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) is very smart. Don't look at him as an idiot who is easily fooled when he is not wary of people."

"When he regards you as an opponent, he will become more cunning than a fox. Even Old Liu won't be able to deceive him easily."

"Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) is not moving; I guess he is also waiting for a turning point."

"That Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) is not only very curious but also greedy."

"It would be one thing if he wanted to see what was going on with everything, but he also has a crazy obsession with making money. I guess he is thinking about whether he can make a fortune from Weizi Lane."

Ye Yang paused slightly, "Haven't you noticed that Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) is sending us a signal?"

"He is telling us that he wants to hold down Weizi Lane himself, so that we can uncover the secret of Weizi Lane from the outside."

Feng Ruoxing exclaimed in surprise, "Can this work?"

Ye Yang said, "Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) is with Old Liu. It depends on whether they can hold their breath. As long as they can hold their breath, their opponents will lose. But what if..."

Ye Yang worriedly said, "What if Ben Gou (Stupid Dog) risks his life again?"
