Chapter 8: Male Model
Chapter 8: Male Model
Could it have belonged to the tortured girl? The innocent girl analysed the situation, The girl died from torture, and she morphed into a ghost. She was the one who murdered the middle-aged man before dawn.
Her analysis was reasonable.
Thats possible, but we need evidence to back it up. The muscular mans presence weakened after he left the toilet. One could even see cold sweat on his forehead. Jiang Cheng knew the man was not as calm as he presented.
We should take a break to eat first, Someone suggested. The cooking was left to Fatty, and the innocent girl helped prepare the ingredients. Soon, the delicious meal was served. Even in that situation, the food was cleared. This proved Fattys capability as a cook.
Are you a chef in real life? The muscular mans attitude towards Fatty softened after he sipped the warm soup.
No. Fatty scratched his head. I took on odd jobs. Ive done quite a lot of things.
What is everyones occupation in real life? Its a kind of destiny for us to gather here. We might as well get to know each other. The muscular man put down the bowl and introduced himself again, The names Man Li. Im a bodyguard.
MyMy name is Xie Yu. I work at an insurance company, The male worker whispered.
Im Chen Xiaomen. Im currently in college to study law, The innocent girl said. It was the woman with the moles turn. Everyone thought shed scoff at them, but she said slowly, You can call me Sister Nuan. Im older than all of you. I work She chuckled mysteriously, Im in sales.
Everyone looked at her. The woman was clearly not a normal merchant. Who knew what kind of stock she was selling?
However, no one dwelled on this for long. They all turned to Jiang Cheng. They were more curious about him than they were about Sister Nuan.
Jiang Cheng sat up straight and said directly, My name is Hao Shuai. Im a male model.
A model? The innocent girl didnt seem to believe him. At a television station?
Jiang Cheng slowly turned around and shot her a meaningful look. I work nights at KTV. Everyone looked at him in shock, but no one said anything. Everyone had their lives to live. Plus, Jiang Cheng did have the qualities to be in that field. The day in this world appeared to be short. They only chatted for a while before the sky darkened again. The muscular man walked to the window and looked around. Then, he walked back. Its not rainclouds. Its really getting dark.
As he said, the sky dimmed half an hour later.
The group sat around the fireplace. As they roasted the fire, they analysed the clues they had already gathered. For the sake of safety, they moved the wood they found in the garage to the living room. That way, they didnt need to leave the living room to grab extra wood at night. Fatty sat closest to the fire and would occasionally toss a stick into the fireplace to keep it alive. The fire burned brightly.
Chen Xiaomeng insisted on her analysis. She believed it was the other family members who tortured the girl to her death. The ghost at the bungalow was the girl. She seemed to be stuck to this hypothesis. Her voice would rise whenever she talked about this. It was a great contrast to her usual, gentle style. Considering the fact that she was studying law, Jiang Cheng believed this was someone with a story.
The rounds of discussion yielded no result. Instead, someone started to yawn. It appeared like Jiang Cheng wasnt the only one who didnt have a good nights sleep. Man Li stood up to work his numbing legs. He suggested, We should go to bed.
His suggestion was quickly accepted.
Since the middle-aged man died on the first floor, everyone decided to sleep on the second floor. Xie Yu suggested in a whisper that everyone stay in the same room so that they could look after each other but he was quickly shut down by Sister Nuan. She said theyd risk missing something.
Xie Yu widened his eyes in fear, but he didnt ask what Sister Nuan meant by something.
Despite the discussion, everyone avoided the girls bedroom. They planned to split into two groups. One would sleep in the boys bedroom and the other in the main bedroom.
Sister Nuan and Chen Xiaomeng were both females, so they naturally stayed together. They chose the main bedroom because that was where they slept the night before.
Fatty insisted on staying with Jiang Cheng. Therefore, they took the boys bedroom.
The remainder were Man Li and Xie Yu. Both of them wanted to stay with Sister Nuan because she had more experience and thus would provide them with a higher survivability. In the end, Sister Nuan and Chen Xiaomeng chose Man Li. They closed the door after they entered the room, leaving Xie Yu alone in the corridor.
The chill winds blew. He hugged himself as goosebumps rose on his arms. He jogged to Jiang Chengs bedroom and knocked rapidly on the door.
Its me! Open up!
As Jiang Cheng slowly examined the room, he said, Didnt you want to push me alone into the toilet? You can take the room next door.
Xie Yu looked at the room next door. The door appeared to move in the wind like something was about to jump out. It was the girls bedroom.
Xie Yu was so scared. He almost cried, Im sorry. I was wrong. I shouldnt have said that. Please forgive me!
Jiang Cheng sat down after he looked over the room. He twisted off the cap of a water bottle and took a light sip. He asked in a teasing tone, What did you call me again?
Boss Hao! Boss Hao!
Jiang Cheng nodded with pleasure.
Boss Hao! Boss Hao!
Fatty,
Jiang Cheng sighed in satisfaction. He waved his hand to signal Fatty to open the door.
As the door opened, Xie Yu rushed into the room like the wind. Then, he slammed the door closed.
Xie Yu didnt even dare to breathe too loudly. He curled in the corner silently, afraid that Jiang Cheng would throw him out.
You. Jiang Cheng raised his chin at Xie Yu, Take the bed.
Me? Xie Yu said in disbelief.
This was a single bedroom, so the bed was a single bed. In other words, only one of the three of them could sleep in the bed.
The other two had to sleep on the ground or share the couch.
