Given Tokyo's real estate prices, even with three million, there's quite a substantial profit margin, meaning you could make a lot of money by reselling it quickly.

"Is that true?"

Boss Jiang seemed to have triggered the capitalist buff.

If it's just a matter of lifting a finger, why not make money? At the very least, it would easily cover tonight's expenses at the bubble bath spot with interest.

"It's true."

Koda Kaoru slipped her long, soft silk feet into her slippers, "But let me say this first, once I sell it to you, you can't back out."

"As long as you don't back out."

Upon hearing this, Koda Kaoru turned her head, suddenly displaying an extremely mysterious smile. For some reason, the air seemed to turn chillingly cold.

"Are you sure you want this house?"

Koda Kaoru's tone also became slightly eerie and unpredictable, but Boss Jiang wasn't one to be easily frightened.

"As long as Teacher Xiang Tian is willing to sell it."

"You know why it's so cheap, don't you?"

Jiang Chen's eyes showed curiosity.

"Because someone died here."

Koda Kaoru raised her hand, "Did you see that tree when you came in? The previous homeowner murdered his wife and son, dismembered their bodies, and buried them all beneath that tree."

"..."

Jiang Chen immediately fell silent.

No wonder Koda Kaoru said earlier, if you have the guts, come in.

Turns out it's a haunted house?

Though Boss Jiang was a staunch atheist, at this moment, a peculiar feeling inevitably arose in his heart, and when he looked at the house again, his perception changed.

"And the homeowner?"

"After killing his wife and child, he hanged himself on that tree."

"Three lives, isn't Teacher Xiang Tian afraid?"

Koda Kaoru chuckled, "Afraid of what? Ghosts? There are scarier things than ghosts, like being homeless. If it weren't for this haunted house, do you think it would be my turn to buy it?"

Having said that, Koda Kaoru smiled, "Do you still want to go inside?"

If Boss Jiang had known this information earlier, he certainly would not have been insistent, especially since he had already consumed four tea eggs at the bubble bath, and truly wasn't that hungry, but now he was already at the door.

"Where to put the stuff?"

He walked right in, carrying the food and drinks he bought on the way.

Koda Kaoru smiled, "Bang," and closed the door.

Fortunately, the location wasn't remote, but Boss Jiang still found an excuse to turn on the TV.

At this moment, he remembered Taoist nun sister a bit, if she were here, he wouldn't have to fear any ghosts or ghouls, even if Sadako or Kayako appeared, she could make them return from where they came, but the key is, before leaving, Boss Jiang had said he was going out to talk with CEO Cao, effectively cutting off his own retreat.

Despite being a materialist, Shenzhou's traditional culture has always respected the dead, thus Koda Kaoru living alone in this haunted house really evoked a sense of awe.

"How long has Teacher Xiang Tian lived here?"

Arranging the instant products he purchased on the table, Jiang Chen also poured himself a glass of sake.

I don't know if it's psychological, but this house always seems to feel colder than outside, even if the TV volume is turned up, it won't dispel it.

At such times, alcohol is needed.

"Six months."

As she spoke, Koda Kaoru looked at Jiang Chen, "Are you planning to drink alone?"

Jiang Chen poured her a drink, "Has Teacher Xiang Tian been living alone these six months?"

"You seem particularly interested in my private life."

Boss Jiang wasn't someone who got shy, handling it with ease, "Luo Peng has always been very concerned about Teacher Xiang Tian."

If Young Master Luo knew, he would probably curse.

Koda Kaoru seemed to have some impression of this former student pursuer, "Why didn't he come to Dongying with you? Aren't you good brothers?"

"He went to Xiang Country."

Jiang Chen maintained a calm expression, "Honeymoon."

"Honeymoon?"

"Yeah, he should be getting married soon."

Alright.

It's definitely more than just a foot-stomping curse.

"Oh, really, so soon."

Koda Kaoru was surprised, then smiled, "Congratulations to him then."

"I'll pass on the message to Teacher Xiang Tian."

Jiang Chen calmly raised his glass.

Koda Kaoru clinked glasses with him.

"Yingdong Electric Power Group's spokesman claims that the scope of this nuclear leakage accident is controllable, and emergency departments have swiftly initiated remedial actions, urging the public not to believe rumors and there's no need to be excessively panicked…"

The TV was broadcasting the most sensational Fukushima nuclear leakage incident endlessly day and night, to which Koda Kaoru had already expressed her attitude, completely uninterested, she directly switched channels with the remote.

The result was from the news channel to the horror channel, playing a newly released Dongying thriller, where the leading lady has a psychic eye, enabling her to see things normal people cannot, and as soon as the channel was changed, the leading lady encountered a woman about to jump onto the tracks, with a middle-parted suit man next to her giving her a creepy grin.

Might as well watch the nuclear wastewater news.

"Why aren't you eating? Weren't you going to have a midnight snack?"

Jin Zhuxuan also had a fondness for horror movies, but the key is that this is in a haunted house, you can't generalize.

Could it be that influenced by movie culture, Dongying people are generally bolder?

Jiang Chen picked up some kimchi with chopsticks.

"It seems there's some braised beef in the fridge, I'll get it."

Koda Kaoru got up, wearing slippers, went to the kitchen, and left Jiang Chen alone in the living room.

The TV was playing a horror movie.

Looking outside, only the shadow of that dark tree could be seen.

The second floor had no lights on, silent and dim, and even though the light from the first floor leaked to the second, it seemed to be swallowed up in an instant.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

In the haunted house where three people died, suddenly a premonition of thumping sounds occurred.

Coming from the kitchen.

Wasn't it braised beef?

Does it still need to be re-cooked?

Since he hadn't drunk much yet, the thumping sound was very vivid and clear.

Jiang Chen got up, following the sound, walked to the kitchen.

"Teacher Xiang Tian..."

Koda Kaoru, with her back facing the door, had her hips as perky and full as always. As a top-notch Pao Ji, she was wielding a kitchen knife, chopping something on a cutting board, and the movement seemed to echo throughout the small building.

Able to manage both the drawing-room and the kitchen.

However, during the service just now, she didn't seem to have such abundant strength.

Boss Jiang was ultimately not an ordinary person, he didn't panic, stood calmly at the kitchen entrance, and called out again: "Teacher Xiang Tian,"

That sharp kitchen knife finally stopped, Koda Kaoru's figure paused for a moment, then turned her head 45 degrees.

"Just wait a bit."

Jiang Chen looked at the chopping board,

Only to see a frozen fish lying there without a will to live.

Boss Jiang kept a normal demeanor, "Need any help?"

"No. Go back, it'll be ready soon."

Jiang Chen didn't insist, left the kitchen entrance, and before he got far, the thumping sound resumed.

"All my fridge ingredients were purchased before the nuclear leakage accident."

A plate of fresh food and braised beef was served.

Only to see that frozen fish had been chopped into more than ten pieces, of different lengths, without any pattern.

"Give it a try."

Even though she had no choice, she still understood how to treat guests.

"Teacher Xiang Tian must not cook often."

"Once every half a month, eat up."

Koda Kaoru, of course, was no longer in her "work uniform," but her impressive figure didn't need special clothes to highlight it, any short top would make it appear burdensome and heavy, her long legs wrapped in stockings knelt elegantly, still so charming and sexy, but besides that, there was a hint of a different kind of flavor.

Coupled with her direct gaze.

Not like Journey to the West.

More like—

Liaozhai Tale A.

Jiang Chen sat still, then suddenly spoke.

"Do you have tea eggs here?"

"..."

So single-minded!

"No."

Koda Kaoru voluntarily picked up a piece of shredded vibrant braised meat with chopsticks and placed it in Boss Jiang's bowl, "This tastes better than tea eggs."

Of course, Boss Jiang wasn't afraid of anything, it's just that he wasn't hungry at this moment, and couldn't eat meat.

"Fried eggs would be fine too."

He seemed to have a thing with eggs.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

On the lit up security intercom, a blurry man appeared on the screen, persistently pressing the doorbell.

Jiang Chen looked towards the homeowner across from him.

Koda Kaoru first frowned, and then, remaining composed, quickly said: "Go to the second floor."

What's scarier than encountering a ghost?

It's almost like being caught cheating.
