Chapter 146 - Shaved by a ghost (2/2)

“Li Anping, do your legs stop hurting?”

Getting a response on the phone, Elly sneers: “Medical expenses? Do you think I am a loser like Lin Luoran, or do you really think you are that pretty?”

Hearing the words “Lin Luoran”, Li Xi’er gets alert. She holds her breath even more.

Elly and Li Anping are quarreling on the phone and they almost talk about everything they did. Li Xi’er gets angrier and angrier, with her hands clenching.

Hanging up the phone, Elly sends a thank-you message to Qu Yi’s number. She waits for a while and doesn’t receive any reply, so she falls asleep angrily.

Li Xi’er hears the even sound of her breath and sneaks into the room.

She clicks her tongue and speaks to herself, “This woman is so ugly without her makeup, how come that she was the rival of Lin Luoran? Why does she want to know about the Lin family now?” Li Xi’er thinks for a long time but still gets nothing. She becomes unhappy. Kill this woman? She is not that guilty. Li Xi’er thinks for a while and her eyes become bright!

She makes hand gestures with her right hand and a spell of gold nature sweeps past Elly’s head with a golden light dazzling. A moment later, Li Xi’er smiles with satisfaction and sneaks out of No. 7 Villa.

After she goes back to her room and snickers in her bed, Li Xi’er hears that Lin Luoran and Luodong are back to the house. She can even hear Luodong’s laughter through the wall and she smiles more happily. This night, Li Xi’er is awaked by joy several times as she is too happy to fall asleep.

The next morning, Elly is woken up by the sound of text message.

She takes off the eyeshade that helps her to sleep and feels something fluffy on her face. She reaches out to her phone and her attention is quickly attracted by the sender of the text. It turns out that Qu Yi wants to find out her real intention by tantalizing her. He intentionally waits until the next morning and replies to her text.

Both of them want to know more about the other and soon they have a “good” conversation. Elly says that she wants to go to their villa to thank them but Qu Yi vaguely replies that the owner of the villa is not at home at the moment — not at home? That’s exactly what Elly wants! Elly smiles and goes downstairs in her nightgown.

The middle-aged housekeeper is pus.h.i.+ng Elly’s grandpa to have breakfast. Seeing Elly, everyone is shocked. Elly is scared at their eye expressions. When she is about to ask what happens, a bodyguard breaks into the house as he knows the car number of the owner of No.18 Villa registered at the property management office. Before he seeks credit, he is shocked at the ghost-like Elly and asks:

“Miss, what happened to your hair?”

Hair? What’s wrong with her hair? Elly reaches out her hands and is shocked by the cold and smooth touch of her head. She runs upstairs quickly. Looking at herself in the mirror, she screams sharply — she not only loses her hair but her eyebrows, too! Even her eyelashes are cut to the root!

“Rubbish… You are all rubbish…” Elly’s grandfather is s.h.i.+vering with anger. The housekeeper notices that he is getting seriously ill because of the anger, so she rushes to bring the medicine to him.

Elly refuses to come out of the bathroom. The bodyguards check her room thoroughly, but they find nothing other than her hair.

Any footprint? No.

Fingerprints? No.

The big tree in front of the window does not even lose a piece of bark. How on earth did the intruder get in? The bodyguards check the surveillance camera footage of the villa, but still get nothing. As a result, they are all guessing in private maybe Miss Elly’s hair was shaved by a ghost — Elly is arrogant and she never treats them equally, so naturally, no one refutes the rumor for her. The story of her being shaved by a ghost is spreading inside the security company. Later, as they provide security services to a lot of rich people, this story is spreading inside their circle. The story that Miss Elly of Fortune House was shaved by a ghost has become a laughingstock of many people.

People in No.7 Villa are all busy investigating, but they still find nothing at noon, not even a single hair of the intruder. Elly’s grandpa is deeply convinced of the existence of ghosts and G.o.ds recently due to his poor health condition. As everyone is talking about his granddaughter being shaved by a ghost, he feels uncertain about it, so he dials a number.

“Master… Do you have time at the moment?”

It seems that the person on the other side of the phone is in a good mood. Elly’s grandpa talks about the story of Elly carefully and the other side becomes interested. He is also satisfied to know that they are now certain that the golden hawk stays in the direction of No.18 Villa all day. The “master” laughs and makes the plan to solve the problems in person.

Elly’s grandpa breathes a sigh of relief. He is now running out of “medicine” and he can ask the master to make more for him. Looking at his sobbing granddaughter, he becomes a little annoyed. He holds back the anger and comforts Elly,

“Stop crying, Elly. The master is coming. What happened to you must be settled… As for No.18 Villa, let’s just put it aside.”

Put aside? What about her hair? Hatred appears in Elly’s eyes.
