A weird smile appeared on Leila's face when she saw Essie.
She took out a rat from her windbreaker and tied a mini camera to it.
Ivy gave her a thumbs up and said, "sister-in-law, you are really brilliant."
Leila smiled complacently, "I happened to find a mouse hole in the corner near the iron gate that day, and I came up with this idea."
She took them to the mouse hole. In fact, she came here secretly the day before yesterday. There was no monitoring equipment in this place, so she didn't worry that her little action would be discovered. The hole was about the size of a fist, and one hand could just reach into it.
Leila took out a piece of meat and put it in the grass in the yard from the hole. Then she put the rat in the yard and blocked the hole with a stone, so that the rat could not escape.
She turned on the phone and started the camera.
There was an excited look on Ivy's face, but Essie was nervous in her heart, fearing that they would cause any trouble.
On the screen, the rat was wandering around in the grass in the yard, as if trying to find an exit. Finally, it ran towards the house.
It was very dark. Only the beam of light from the camera could see the scene in front of it.
When the rat ran to the gate of the mansion, a red object blocked the camera.
Ivy's heart jolted. She couldn't help reaching out her hand and holding Leila's arm.
Leila was also shocked. She had thought that the ghost yard was just a trick, or the cover made up by the Rong family to hide some big treasures. She didn't expect that there was really something.
Staring at the camera without blinking, Essie saw a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the red object, which looked like the wedding dress on TV.
Then a big hand reached out. The fingernails on it were very long, which made people feel creepy.
Ivy was so frightened that she almost screamed. Fortunately, Essie covered her mouth with her hand.
Leila was also shocked. At this time, the rat let out a shrill scream and the camera turned off.
"Damn it! Let's go!" Said Essie in a low voice, beckoning the two of them to leave as soon as possible.
Leila ran as fast as she could, followed by Ivy. Essie was pregnant, so she didn't dare to run too fast. After running for a while, Ivy stopped at the thought of Essie and turned back.
Essie was the apple of Zac's eye. If anything happened to Essie, Zac would kill her.
"Essie, do you think that thing will come to settle accounts with us?" Ivy shivered and asked.
"I don't think so." Thinking of that hand, Essie felt a little scared.
Leila ran into the hall first. As soon as she entered, she saw Zac coming down the stairs. He came down to look for Essie.
"Sister-in-law, it's so late. Why are you still up?" He asked casually.
Leila was very nervous at first, but when she saw his lazy and handsome face, her nervous mood disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a sense of admiration.
"I... I am going to sleep." She stammered.
Zac nodded slightly and went downstairs without saying anything. Looking at his indifferent back, a trace of resentment flashed through Leila's eyes, but she didn't dare to stay any longer. She turned around and went upstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the yard, Ivy and Essie came in. Seeing that the two women's faces were pale, Zac frowned slightly. When sister-in-law came in just now, she didn't look well. His intuition told him that something had happened among the three women.
At the sight of him, Essie immediately regained her composure and winked at Ivy. Ivy understood and hurriedly said, "second sister-in-law, it's so late today. We've been waiting for a long time. I'm sleepy. Go back to sleep." Then she yawned and ran away dejectedly.
"Honey, it's time to sleep." With an embarrassed smile, Essie went upstairs with her head down.
A sharp light flashed through Zac's eyes. When he returned to his room, he leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the person beside him with an implicit and intriguing look.
