Bai Zhongning, didn't she die? Bai Jingling pursed her lips and felt a little suspicious.

Neither of them spoke, and they sat in silence. In the bustling, colorful images, only their messy table of food and people looked as if they had lost their color and had lost their thread.

”Your grandfather, where did he see Bai Zhongning?” Mu Yi Chu took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, and started smoking without caring about whether Bai Jingling was able to endure the smell of the cigarette. The strong tobacco smoke assaulted his nose, giving him an indescribable sense of security.

Women were his addiction. Alcohol was his hobby and pleasure. Smoke was his only friend.

Bai Jingling rolled her eyes as she thought deeply for a moment, and slowly said, ”Two years ago, my grandfather suffered a stroke with half of his body paralyzed. Always living in a wheelchair. Other than going to the hospital every Tuesday, he spent most of his time at home. That was his only activity. ”Therefore …”

”It's not Tuesday.” Mu Chu looked at the screen of his phone. Friday, 20: 07. He flicked his ash gracefully on the plate in front of his desk. ”So, Bai Zhongning either appeared at your house or near it.”

”Yes.” Bai Jingling also thought so.

”Do you believe in ghosts?” Mu Yi Chu exhaled the smoke in his mouth and looked at Bai Jingling with an alluring gaze. He was unconsciously exuding his charm all the time.

”I don't believe you.” Bai Jingling replied almost instantly, and his tone was extremely resolute and decisive. She believed in science and had no other religious beliefs, a typical materialist.

”I didn't believe it either.” Mu Yi Chu's eyes dimmed. ”But recently, I seem to have been found by ghosts.” Mu Yi Chu's lips curved up in a forced smile, full of helplessness.

”But I don't believe that some things are done by ghosts. ”So,” Mu Yi Chu put out the nearly smoked cigarette in his hand. He raised his eyes to look at Bai Jingling, and firmly continued, ”There must be someone pretending to be a ghost, pretending to be Bai Zhongning.”

”And you kidnapped me because you suspected me?” Bai Jingling frowned as he asked with uncertainty, but in his heart, he was gradually enlightened.
