Chapter 1019 - Bad Neighbour From the Old City (1/2)

“You don’t need to worry about me making friends. I’ve always been friendly with my colleagues, but you can pay me according to how you’d pay an intern. At least let me prove myself before you hire me officially,” Wu Jinpeng said sincerely.

“I do not hire interns, or rather, the internship period is very short. Normally, I can tell whether a person is suitable for the job or not with one glance.” Chen Ge’s haunted house only had one new employee ceremony, and that was to go through all the scenarios with the visitors once. If they could come out with their consciousness somewhat still intact, they could stay and work.

“Okay, then after I send Wu Sheng to school tomorrow, I’ll quit my current job. Due to this economy, I doubt they will ask me to stay. I’ll head to our haunted house in the afternoon. By the way, where is it?”

“Western Jiujiang’s New Century Park.” Chen Ge looked at Wu Jinpeng. This was the fifth living employee that he had hired. Whether he expanded into Xin Hai or anything else, Wu Jinpeng should come in handy. The shadows would be handled by the ghosts, and the living would work under the sunlight; a good haunted house had to function on both fronts. Now that Wu Jinpeng was officially a part of the haunted house, he was Chen Ge’s family, and Chen Ge always had time for his family.

“Brother Peng, I have one last thing to ask you.” Chen Ge stood up and walked to Wu Kun. “Has your little brother always been like this? Did your parents try to send him to get some treatment?”

“They did try when he was young, but the effect was not so good. Even though he was unable to live independently or work, he could do some simple housework. My brother is very kind. He often surprises me by helping me with the chores.” Wu Jinpeng sat down next to his brother. “Sometimes, when I was working in the day and singing in bars at night, it was my little brother who looked after Wu Sheng. Even though they both have some problems, they’re good friends.”

“Good friends? Then that’s strange.” Chen Ge did not want to hide anything. “There was a lot of symbolism behind Wu Sheng’s door, and all the symbols could be related back to the reality, but I did not see anything that could represent Wu Kun in Wu Sheng’s door. It is as if Wu Kun does not exist in Wu Sheng’s mind.”

“That’s impossible. They stay together every day.”

“That is the first point that struck me as strange. The second point is the fan that Wu Kun is holding. Why does he insist on the fan?” Chen Ge looked at Wu Kun’s mangled fingers. “Your little brother might be mentally challenged, but he showed no sign of being a self-harming person. There are many different kinds of mental illnesses, and he does not appear to have the kind where he would push his hands into a fan voluntarily. So, I suspect someone else was there when the accident happened!”

“You mean someone pushed my brother’s hands into the fan?” Wu Jinpeng’s jaw tightened.

“Why else would he keep on mentioning the fan? He might be warning you.” Chen Ge had just finished when Wu Jinpeng woke Wu Kun up. Wu Kun, who knew nothing, hugged the fan and curled up in the corner. He was both angry and afraid.

“Xiao Kun, your big brother is here. Tell me, did someone bully you? Don’t be afraid. Have you forgotten? I always helped you fight those people who bullied you when we were small. I will go and punch those who dares bully you, so will you tell me who did this?”

Wu Jinpeng spoke very fast on the account of his anger, and that spooked his younger brother. Wu Kun hugged the fan, grabbed the blanket, and crawled all over the floor, screaming.

“Do you know what time it is? You might not want to sleep, but I do!”

The house had a horrible soundproof wall. The neighbors started to complain, so Chen Ge helped Wu Jinpeng detain Wu Kun.
