252: Chapter 252 Someone is truly a persistent ghost.

Lin Xiao and Su Yu were not reconciled, so they went to ask the others.

The result they received was just as they had expected.

There were so many mosquitoes in every room here that no one had slept well last night.

Strange.

Then what was going on?

Just then, some Villagers happened to pass by and heard their discussion.

"Say, when you were in your rooms yesterday, besides the sound of mosquitoes, didn't you hear any other noises?"

The Villager walked up to Lin Xiao and asked quietly.

"Other noises?"

Lin Xiao recalled carefully, but still didn't understand what they meant.

Su Yu was also very confused.

This was perhaps the first time she had doubted Lin Xiao's abilities.

Could it be that the accuracy of Lin Xiao's Fortune Telling had dropped, and that house was actually haunted?

The Villager frowned slightly. "Didn't you hear, under that bed..."

There was a problem under the bed?

Lin Xiao and Su Yu couldn't help but lean in, their expressions extremely tense.

The Villager asked very seriously, "Didn't you hear insects chirping under the bed?"

"In, insects chirping?"

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched stiffly, and he looked at the Villager in astonishment, thinking he had misheard.

The Villager nodded. "That's right, only the bed in that house has insects chirping under it; none of the other houses have it. It's really strange, don't you think?"

"Ye, yes..."

Lin Xiao suddenly felt a bit mentally exhausted.

Su Yu still couldn't believe that things were actually this simple.

It just so happened that this Villager was one of the people discussing them outside their door yesterday, so she pressed, "Then, about what the village chief said yesterday, what problem can my brother solve regarding this house..."

"Exactly."

The Villager nodded and pointed at Lin Xiao. "If he can deal with the Great Immortal Huang, he can definitely find the location of those insects! You don't know, we've wanted to deal with those insects for a long time, but the bed is an antique, and no one is willing to damage it."

Su Yu realized suddenly. "So, you want my brother to find the location of the insects and deal with them without damaging the bed!"

"Yes!"

The Villager nodded vigorously.

Lin Xiao felt even more mentally exhausted.

So this time, instead of searching for corpses, he's searching for insects, right?

Also.

Was there any need to be so mysterious about such a trivial matter?

...

After breakfast, the three of them rested in the courtyard.

Suddenly, they saw many Villagers gathering at the entrance of the village again, and waves of commotion could be heard from that direction.

"Daddy, it seems like someone else has arrived?"

Xiao Yuan stood at the courtyard gate, craning her neck to look into the distance.

"It should be more of the Film Crew staff. Maybe they couldn't all fit in the car yesterday."

Lin Xiao didn't even open his eyes, continuing to rest with his eyes closed.

But a few minutes later, he heard a familiar voice.

"These are gifts our young master brought for you all. Everyone gets one, don't rush, don't rush!"

"That's right, everyone gets one."

"..."

Lin Xiao opened his eyes abruptly and saw that the person surrounded by the Villagers was none other than Lin Yu!

Su Yu also saw the situation over there and frowned slightly. "I remember he wasn't on the Film Crew's actor list. What is he doing here?"

Lin Xiao sighed softly. "What else could it be? He must have spent money again."

"Spending money to come here and be a supporting actor? What for?"

Su Yu found it hard to understand.

"Who knows? Maybe he'll become famous."

Lin Xiao chuckled.

Soon, Su Yu heard Lin Xiao's inner thoughts.

[He's not stupid. Of course, he wouldn't spend so much money to join the crew just to be a supporting actor.]

[And more importantly, of course, he's here to harm me!]

[Damn it, he's really got too much time on his hands, coming all the way to these deep mountains just to make things difficult for me!]

...

Su Yu was surprised.

So Lin Yu still hasn't let Lin Xiao go?

This left her very puzzled.

Logically speaking, Lin Yu is already a young master of The Jin Family now; in terms of living conditions and social status, he shouldn't be inferior to the Lin family.

Why does he still hold such deep resentment toward Lin Xiao?

Su Yu felt that Lin Xiao probably knew some inside information, but she didn't feel comfortable asking.

All she could do was protect Lin Xiao as much as possible.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "A-Xiao, the conditions here are so poor that you can't get a good night's sleep. Why don't you take Xiao Yuan and leave? With me here, the breach of contract fees should be negotiable."

Lin Xiao chuckled. "Third Sister, why have you suddenly become so accommodating? You even want to help me with the lawsuit."

"It's just that I see how hard it is for Xiao Yuan."

Su Yu casually made up an excuse.

But Lin Xiao shook his head silently. "It's fine, I can still overcome it."

[No, I can't leave!]

[I haven't earned that money yet!]

[If I leave now, all the suffering from the past two days will have been for nothing!]

...

Su Yu sighed silently to herself.

She didn't know if Lin Xiao was just too confident in himself or if he had simply fallen into the money pit.

Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now.

If Lin Yu truly has such a strong intent to harm, they can run from the first day but not the fifteenth.

Instead of constantly being on guard, it's better to take it one step at a time and deal with whatever comes their way.

There are so many Film Crew staff and Villagers here; surely Lin Yu wouldn't dare to make a move in public?

As long as she catches Lin Yu in the act, she will definitely send him to prison with her own hands!

At this moment, Lin Yu also saw Lin Xiao.

He walked over swaggeringly, looked around, and said disdainfully, "I thought you were living so well in the Lin family! So you also have to suffer in a place like this? Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this dilapidated house you're living in and the food you're eating! Now look at me; my family arranged a tent for me, along with all kinds of food. It's a hundred times more comfortable than your situation."

"Yes, if your body wasn't in such poor condition, you'd probably be dead."

Lin Xiao said expressionlessly.

"Who are you cursing?"

Lin Yu had just returned from the brink of death a short while ago.

Mentioning this, he did feel some lingering fear.

Fortunately, The Jin Family had hired the best medical team for him, which managed to pull him back from the gates of hell.

His injuries at the time were too severe; logically, he should have rested for a while longer.

But he really couldn't stand the way The Jin Family looked at him—as if he were trash—so he gave up on continuing his rest.

Especially after hearing that Lin Xiao had come to these deep mountains, he thought this might be an opportunity.

Lin Xiao waved his hand in disgust. "Go find somewhere cool to stay. I'm afraid that if you accidentally die in front of me, you'll try to extort me again."

"Fine, fine, fine, keep being stubborn!"

Lin Yu snorted coldly and turned to leave Lin Xiao's courtyard.

He had his entourage set up tents not far away.

He had brought a huge amount of supplies; someone who didn't know better might think he was here to flee from a disaster.

After setting up the tents, he distributed food to the Film Crew staff and the Villagers.

Things like self-heating hot pots, various snacks, and milk tea.

He said these were all gifts for them upon meeting.

In front of outsiders, he still tried his best to put on an act.

This also gave everyone a decent impression of him.

Of course, there was no share for Lin Xiao among the gifts distributed.

Lin Xiao didn't care about this.

He really couldn't work up any interest in these childish antics.

Whatever, let him do whatever he wants!

But Su Yu was very displeased and immediately took out her phone to send a message.
