Seeing the two pitiful little figures huddled together, Ji Wangyan burst out laughing.
Xie Zhuzhou and Zhou were terrified, their mouths agape, their round eyes wide as they watched the "female ghost" slowly remove her mask, revealing a familiar face—it was Ji Wangyan!
Xie Zhuzhou was stunned, and then a nameless anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
He released Little Yan, stood up abruptly, and glared at Ji Wangyan: "Third Brother, what are you trying to do, playing tricks on me! You scared me to death! Haven't you been working overtime lately and you're just bored!"
Ji Wangyan was speechless. "I was about to ask you what you're up to? What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"You're asking me? Tell me why you're following me!" Xie Zhuzhou straightened his clothes, as if nothing had happened, and Chu Yanzhang did the same.
Ji Wangyan: "..." See? He knew those two were faking it at the haunted house.
"I had a horror cosplay event tonight, and I won the Sadako cosplay, so I wore this outfit out. I didn't intend to follow you at first, but I saw you driving suspiciously near this alley, so I got curious."
Xie Zhuzhou was speechless, gritting his teeth and wishing he could swing his fist and give his third brother a thousand slaps to vent his anger!
"Look what you've done! You've scared Little Yan so much he's blushed!"
Ji Wangyan: "..." You should take a look at your own face.
Chu Yanzhang remained silent for a long time, and when he got back to the car, he kept hugging Xie Zhuzhou and acting coquettishly.
Ji Wangyan, who was driving, was unable to attend the event on time, so she changed into her own clothes and took the two little ones back first.
"Brother, can you apologize? I didn't mean to." Ji Wangyan was quite frightened by the two of them. He should have changed his clothes before going downstairs; he was just too curious about what his younger brother was doing.
Xie Zhuzhou's plan not only failed, but his personal image was also completely ruined. Fortunately, Little Yan was also frightened. Although he was very embarrassed, he had someone to share his embarrassment.
His Little Yan was indeed weak.
"Xiao Little Yan, are you alright?"
"Without..."
Xie Zhuzhou was unaware that Chu Yanzhang was imagining things again.
Chu Yanzhang thought about how Zhouzhou was so scared before, yet she accompanied him to the haunted house. She was so afraid of those gloomy houses, yet she endured her fear because of his confession.
And last time when we watched a zombie movie, Zhouzhou was willing to accompany him.
If this isn't love, then what is?
His Zhouzhou is just not good at expressing himself.
Chu Yanzhang was both happy and sad. He was happy to know his place in Zhouzhou's heart; he was sad because he had made Zhouzhou worry and fear, and he was truly a useless man.
He hugged Zhouzhou tightly, nuzzling Xie Zhuzhou's neck with a pitiful expression.
Xie Zhuzhou stroked his head, patiently coaxing him, and even took the time to glare at Ji Wangyan.
Ji Wangyan: "..."
Xie Guanxia, who had just watched the entire incident on the surveillance camera, sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Boss, the young master seems... a bit timid."
"I remember he was brave enough to go to the toilet by himself when he was little... Has he changed too much in the past few years? Why has he become more and more timid?" Xie Guanxia frowned, deep in thought.
"Could my son have been switched?" Xie Guanxia zoomed in on the surveillance footage, but couldn't see his ear clearly. "He had a mole on his ear, but I can't see it now."
You can search for his recent photos online; you might be able to find it.
"No, I want to see it myself."
**
Xie Zhuzhou returned home still angry, and Ji Wangyan had no choice but to give him a promise as an apology.
Xie Zhuzhou was finally satisfied, then said, "What about Little Yan? His fragile heart was also wounded!"
Ji Wangyan: "Okay, next week it's his turn to walk the dog, so transfer the task to me, alright?"
Chu Yanzhang then beamed with joy.
Ji Wangyan: "..."
After returning home, Chu Yanzhang was still feeling a lingering fear. To distract himself, he took out his phone and called Wu Chang: " The Jin Family has been living too carefree lately."
Having just finished showering and crawled into bed, Wu Chang picked up his phone, gritted his teeth, and thought, "I'll just have to put up with it for now... But the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"
Why did the boss have to say it all of a sudden, after he was already in bed? Was it intentional?
"Okay, is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Hmm... is there a quick way to increase courage?"
Wu Chang was silent for a moment on the other end, then asked, "Have you been discovered?"
Chu Yanzhang replied with a dry "Mm".
Then Wu Chang couldn't help but burst into laughter in bed. He got up and said, "Okay, I'll find a way for you right away. First of all, you can't force yourself."
"OK."
Chu Yanzhang decided to toughen himself up. He worried that after he married Zhouzhou, they would both be afraid of ghosts, so he wanted to be strong and become the pillar of the family.
Meanwhile, the unfortunate Jin Family was once again targeted.
In the early hours of the morning, it was revealed that the furniture products sold by the Jin Family contained excessive levels of formaldehyde. By morning, almost everyone, from office workers to students, knew about it.
This matter has attracted widespread attention from the public.
Even if the sample fails to meet the standards, but the others do, it's certain that the Jin Family will be investigated. After all, this has already generated public opinion, and those in power will need to quell the matter immediately to prevent further panic.
The atmosphere inside the Jin Family villa was heavy.
Mr. and Mrs. Kim sat on the sofa, their faces ashen. Standing before them were the senior executives who controlled the production line, the Jin Family's public relations team, and their legal team.
Mr. Jin slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What on earth is going on? Our products are always rigorously inspected, how could such a basic mistake as excessive formaldehyde levels occur?"
The public relations manager answered nervously, "We have thoroughly checked the production records and quality inspection reports, and all processes are in order. However, the product that was exposed this time did come from our production line, and we are not yet clear on which link in the chain went wrong."
Mrs. Jin frowned and said, "Now is not the time to assign blame. The most urgent task is to quell public opinion. Issue a statement immediately, promising a full recall of the problematic products and compensation to consumers."
The head of the legal team nodded and said, "We have prepared a statement and can release it at any time. At the same time, we recommend launching an internal investigation to find the person truly responsible."
After a moment's thought, Mr. Jin nodded and said, "That's settled then. Also, contact the media and arrange a press conference. I want to personally explain."
Meanwhile, Chu Yanzhang sat in front of his computer, closely monitoring the situation. A slight smile played on his lips; he was fairly satisfied with the matter. In fact, the investigation had only been completed recently, and releasing it at this opportune moment was perfect.
