"It's impossible for any other beast to do that except for primate." The director of the security department said thoughtfully and changed his tone. "Even if it is a primate, as long as it doesn't move in the ghost yard, it can't escape the surveillance. But we haven't found any suspicious signs."
"So the ghost inside came out to make trouble again?" A malicious light flashed through Zac's eyes. One day, he would flatten the yard to see what kind of monster it was!
The director of the security department didn't say anything. He didn't believe there was ghost in the world. As for what was in this yard, he was also very curious. But since it was the secret of the Rong family, as the director of the security department, he had the obligation to protect it and not let anyone spy on it.
After saying a few words to the director of the security department, Zac asked him to leave first. After a short silence, he turned to uncle Li and asked, "How about we have a talk?"
uncle Li knew what he wanted to talk about. "Young master, this secret can only be passed on to you when you become the head of the Rong family. Before that, please don't make things difficult for me."
The Li clan was the steward of the Rong family for generations and was loyal to the Rong family. Before uncle Li retired, he would also choose the most suitable one among his sons to take over the position of the steward.
The Li family would defend the secrets and honor of the Rong Mansion with their lives. Knowing this, Zac changed a way. "According to your judgment, are these mouse corpses related to the yard?"
"I can always find out the truth." Uncle Li's tone was deep and intriguing.
"If it was done by someone, he would be dead for sure." A touch of cruelty flashed across Zac's handsome face. Those who dared to make trouble in the Rong Mansion were tired of living.
In the house, not long after Essie sat down, Leila came downstairs with her arms crossed over her chest, looking terrified. Since last time, she had been quite afraid of the yard.
"Sister in law, you've met her before. Tell me, what does she look like?" Essie said in a joking tone.
Leila's face turned pale. She didn't want to recall that horrible scene. She didn't want to recall it all her life.
"Maybe she will come to you one day." She glared at Essie, knowing that Essie was making fun of her on purpose.
"It doesn't matter. People are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of people even more. I have never seen a ghost since I was born. I have only seen people who are worse than ghosts." With a faint smile on her face, Essie looked calm.
The corners of Leila's mouth twitched slightly, and she felt guilty subconsciously. She was sure that she was one of the 'worst that ghost people' that Essie said.
After coming back, Zac went into the room with Essie and briefly told her the situation.
"Don't worry about it. Uncle Li will deal with it."
"I'm the hostess of the family. About the affairs in the Rong Mansion..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zac. "The matter of the yard is not under your management. You don't need to ask." He couldn't let her take risks if he was not sure about it.
After thinking for a while, Essie realized that she really couldn't meddle in this matter. She didn't even know what secret was hidden in the ghost yard. How could she meddle in it?
"I watched the news just now. There is a total lunar eclipse again on the fifteen of this month."
"You little fool, you have to believe that there is no ghost in the world, only people who are pretending to be ghosts."
Hearing that, Essie shrugged her shoulders. What he said was true. If a person's heart was vicious, it would be more terrible than a ghost.
She put her arms around his neck and said, "Icy guy, do you think there will be some amazing treasures hidden in the ghost yard? Red clothes are the guardian of the treasures!"
Zac pinched the tip of her nose and said, "You little fool, have you read too many 'Graver Robbers' Chronicles', or have you been possessed by the 'Tomb Raiders'?"
"People should have some imagination." Essie pouted.
"It's not a good thing to have a wild imagination." Zac sat down on the sofa and pulled her to sit next to him. "Let me tell you. It's a little weird this time."
"What is it?" Hearing that, Essie was slightly stunned and her expression became serious.
Touching his chin, Zac thought for a while and said thoughtfully, "In the past, when something happened, someone would be punished for entering the yard by mistake or trying to explore the secrets inside. This time, no one approached there, but something happened all of a sudden. It's obviously unusual. "
Essie couldn't help but shudder, and a gloomy picture of the Rong Mansion appeared in front of her.
Zac choked, "Little fool, you can assume that there is actually nothing in the yard. It's just a legend of nothingness."
"I saw it clearly. Didn't you see it too?" 'Isn't this a self-deception?' Essie thought.
