1144 I Want to Make You Stay 22 (1/2)
”Xiao Chenyang…”
He walked toward her and said, ”Go inside.”
”My doorbell kept ringing just now…”
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the room before closing the door.
”Did you hear what I said? My doorbell kept ringing just now…”
”I heard you.”
”There wasn't anyone, there really wasn't,” said Fang Erlan, who was frightened out of her wits and had turned as pale as a ghost.
”Don't be afraid, I'm here.”
Fang Erlan asked, ”Are you able to see spirits like Sis Xiaoning can?”
”Yes.”
Fang Erlan grabbed his hand asked, ”Can you see if there are any supernatural beings in this room, then?”
”There was one outside the door just now, but it's gone now.”
Fang Erlan heaved a sigh of relief and thumped herself down onto the bed. ”Jing Shui came by just now. As soon as he left, the doorbell began ringing continuously.”
Xiao Chenyang stood up and said, ”Go to bed earlier. I'm going back now.”
”Can you sleep here tonight? I'm scared.”
”Alright.”

An Xiaoning was jolted awake by a sudden tension in her chest. She sat up straight, and her slight movement was enough to wake Jin Qingyan up.
”What happened?”
”I just feel a little uncomfortable.” She lifted her duvet and got out of bed before pouring herself a cup of warm water.
After she took two sips of water, the lights were switched off all of a sudden.
An Xiaoning instinctively placed the cup onto the table.
The door was unlocked all of a sudden, and footsteps began approaching them slowly.
The two of them immediately lay motionless on the bed, as if they had already fallen asleep.
When the burly figure approached the bed, they poured kerosene over his head and set him ablaze with a torch. Within seconds, the man was set on flames, which lit up the entire ward.
Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning managed to catch a glimpse of his face. He was not Xihou Jiaping, and was instead a man whom they had never met.
The man shrieked in terror while the flames consumed him. However, he did not forget the mission that he had to complete and began leaping toward the bed.
Before he could even do so, he was propelled and pinned against the wall by a strong, invisible force. He then plunged and fell onto the ground.
An Xiaoning stabbed him fatally in his chest before he could stand up.
In fact, he died within just minutes of entering.
The flames continued to burn. Fortunately, the hospital ward was large enough and the flames did not spread to the other objects around it.
An Xiaoning poured some water over the corpse to put out the fire. Thick and overbearing fumes of smoke and soot wafted into the air as soon as the fire was put out.
