Pampered Wife's Counterattack | Book 4

661.Chain Of Unfortunate Events

"It has been examined once and confirmed that there aren't any problems."

"That's strange." A hint of confusion flashed past Chongshan's gaze.

All of a sudden, a male helper charged towards Elder Chongshan with a dagger in his hands as though he had gone insane. It seemed as if his dagger was about to pierce Chongshan.

Somi and Huang Zhishu, who were several steps away, immediately turned pale in fright. They both cried out in shock at the same time.

But Tong Yu appeared seemingly out of nowhere. With a kick, he sent the helper flying.

Elder Manoban had yet to recover from the ordeal. His wrinkled face was extremely pale.

Jennie rushed to support the elder and asked in concern. "Grandfather, are you alright?"

Somi and Huang Zhishu also rushed forward. They said in unison, "Grandfather/Father, are you ok?"

Elder Manoban glared angrily at the male helper who was held firmly on the ground by Tong Yu. He narrowed his eyes and saw that it was actually Hao Changsheng, who had worked in the Manoban family for a long time. "There are no grudges between us. You've been taking my Manoban family's salary, yet you dared to attack your master!"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Hao Changsheng laughed maniacally as he pointed at Jennie. "Demon, she's a demon!"

Jennie's expression changed slightly. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"She isn't human, she isn't human!" Hao Changsheng's expression twisted frighteningly. "With Jennie around, the Manoban family will never have peace! You'll suffer great misfortunes!"

Chongshan was extremely angered by these words. "Nonsense! Exactly who sent you to attack me?"

Hao Changsheng appeared not to have heard anything. His expression was maniacal and even his eyes were frighteningly bloodshot.

"Take him away. Interrogate him firmly. Force him to utter the instigator's name, no matter what!" Chongshan waved his hand.

Tong Yu was about to carry out his orders when Hao Changsheng fell forward and collapsed on the ground.

Mingde immediately stepped forward. He checked for his breath with two fingers and reported heavily. "Elder, he has stopped breathing."

"Can you tell the cause of his death?" Chongshan's grey brows furrowed.

Mingde scanned the corpse carefully. "He appears unharmed. The cause of death is not noticeable to the eye."

Huang Zhishu trembled in fright. She fearfully spoke to Chongshan. "Father, this Hao Changsheng suddenly lost his mind and died without a clear cause. Could it be that there really is something dirty in our mansion?"

"Grandfather, you have to investigate this matter thoroughly." Somi also appeared frightened.

Chongshan's gaze was sharp despite his old age. He glanced at the two of them. "What are you trying to say?"

Huang Zhishu appeared to have decided to give it her all. "Father, too many strange things have been happening in our family. First, it was the fishes that died without any cause. Next, it was the dogs that barked relentlessly through the night. Even our long-time helper has gone insane. Could it be that there really is a problem with our Manoban family's luck?"

Chongshan raised his voice. "Our Manoban family is extremely prosperous. How could there be any problems!"

"For some matters, it is better to believe than otherwise." Huang Zhishu began carefully. "Father, I heard that Miss Kim recently used the money she received from younger brother, younger sister-in-law and you to purchase ten haunted apartments. Those apartments are haunted. Could they have affected our Manoban family's luck."

"Isn't it?" Somi continued softly. "If our Manoban family's good luck was ruined by our future cousin-in-law, will she be able to shoulder this responsibility?"

Chongshan looked at Butler Mingde. "What do you think about this matter?"
