Chapter 5 The Mystery of the Ghost Wall

Samantha said calmly, "That broken door is about to fall. If you don't want to see blood, you should sit back down."

Leonard glanced at the half-crumbling door. It was shabby but not...

Bang!

Half of the door collapsed instantly, hitting Leonard on the back. Samantha looked at him with a smile on her face, but she had no intention of helping him.

Leonard pushed open the broken door, his palm accidentally cut by the sharp wooden thorn, blood oozing out. His eyes were cold, and he glanced at her in an indescribable way.

It can't be that weird.

As the sun set, Richard drove to the location Leonard had told him in advance.

As soon as he arrived at the destination, he saw Leonard sitting side by side with a shabby-dressed girl on the threshold of a dilapidated temple.

"Hey, Leonard has never been interested in women, but today he can sit in a row with girls." Richard joked.

Leonard glanced coldly at this bad friend and just as he was about to stand up, his vision suddenly went dark.

He managed to stand firmly, and then he heard a faint "tsk" from the side, which seemed to mock his weak body.

Leonard was furious. "You—"

When he looked down, he saw that the girl's attention was not on him at all.

"Tsk tsk, this is delicious, I'll order some later."

Leonard got in the car with a gloomy face.

Richard invited her warmly, "Little beauty, get in the car." Before Samantha could speak, Leonard refused and said coldly, "Drive."

Richard had a sympathetic expression on his face: "Don't be so cold. It's so unsafe to leave her alone in the wilderness."

Leonard snorted in his heart.

Someone who dares to eat offerings from the dead, even the dead will have to take a detour when they see her.

Under Leonard's death stare, Richard had no choice but to start the car. "Little beauty, we're leaving now. It's getting dark. You should hurry down the mountain."

Samantha smiled and said, "You will come back."

The two were puzzled until the car went in circles on the mountain road. It should have taken half an hour to get down the mountain, but it took more than an hour to get down.

" It can't be that weird, is it a ghost wall?" Richard looked at the darkness around him and felt scared.

Leonard's handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, "Where did the ghost come from? There are no ghosts in the world."

Richard complained: "I know you are an atheist, but brother, don't you think our current situation is really like a ghost wall? I am very sure that we are not going the wrong way!"

Leonard frowned, thinking back to what Samantha had said.

"Turn around and go back."

The two returned the same way they came, and when they turned on the car lights, they saw the girl gesticulating in the dark, talking to the air.

Richard wanted to cry but had no tears: "Why do I feel that she is more terrifying than a ghost wall? Who is she talking to?"

Samantha asked the wandering souls nearby and found out that the mountain temple has been dilapidated for many years and no one has paid attention to it. No one named Taixuan has ever been there.

She had no choice but to thank the ghosts and walked towards the car carrying the "local specialties" they gave her.

"Richard, please give me a ride."

Richard looked at Leonard in the back seat in surprise, "You talked to her about me?"

Samantha opened the passenger door swiftly and got in.

Richard came over with a smile and said, "What's your relationship with Leonard? I haven't even seen you, but you know me."

Samantha smiled but said nothing.

Richard is Leonard's childhood friend.

The reason why she knew Richard was because Leonard had appeared in his dreams more than once after his death, scaring him so much that he came to her to settle the matter.

Samantha closed her eyes and rested as soon as she got in the car. Leonard also closed his eyes and the two ignored each other.

Richard had no choice but to drive in silence.

Since Samantha got on the car, she has never been stuck in a maze again. Half an hour later, the car went down the mountain smoothly.

When Samantha opened her eyes, she found herself back at the Smith family's door.

Looking at the familiar European-style villa and Ethan standing at the door, Samantha knew that it was Richard's doing.

"Who told you to send me back?" Samantha stared at him coldly.

Richard chuckled, "I said you looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen you. Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that you seemed to be the new adopted daughter of the Smith family? A month ago, you came to our hospital to deliver food to Ethan. I saw you there. Have you forgotten?"

Speaking of this, Samantha remembered.

Ethan is a doctor and often forgets to eat when he is performing surgery.

She felt sorry for her second brother who had stomach problems, so she learned a few dishes from the chef, carefully selected organic vegetables, cooked them herself according to her second brother's taste, and sent them to him.

Although Ethan didn't eat it every time and even threw it away, she felt that the intention was there and her second brother would one day understand that she loved these brothers.

When she went to deliver food, Ethan got very angry and not only knocked over the food she had carefully prepared, but also told her to get out in front of many people.

She endured the grievance and squatted on the ground to pick up the food back into the lunch box bit by bit.

It seemed that on that day, Richard passed by and helped her clean up.

She was so busy with her head down and crying that she didn't notice it was him at all.

Samantha's face darkened: "Then I didn't ask you to send the Smith family."

"Richard." Ethan came over and smiled politely at Richard, "Thank you for bringing her back."

Richard smiled and said, "Well, we are all colleagues, no need to be so polite. But if you really want to thank me, you can just take my shift on the 18th."

18th ...

Ethan glared at Samantha angrily , he happened to have something to do that day and now everything was ruined because of her.

She is indeed a troublemaker!

"Why don't you get out of the car?" he said coldly.

Samantha got out of the car decisively and walked in the opposite direction of the Smith family.

Richard kindly reminded Ethan: "Your sister doesn't seem to be mentally well."

Ethan frowned. "Why do you say that?"

Richard pointed at what Samantha was carrying: "Do you know where I found her? In the wilderness, she was eating the offerings of the dead!"

He half-jokingly asked, "Does your family abuse her and not give her food to eat?"

Ethan's face darkened instantly. He didn't answer Richard and strode after Samantha.

"Samantha , stop."

Ethan grabbed the plastic bag, but the bag couldn't withstand his strong pull and the contents spilled all over the floor.

Seeing that the food inside was commonly used for sacrifices, Ethan's face became even uglier, and he was almost furious. "How could the Smith family treat you so badly that they let you steal offerings from the dead?"

"Samantha, you've completely embarrassed me as your brother today!"

The daughter of the richest man actually went to steal offerings from the dead.

If this matter gets out, he and the Smith family will be laughed to death by the whole Jiangcheng people!

"You are such a pervert. Why do you have to steal things from the dead when there are so many other things to steal..."

Bang!

Before Ethan could finish his words, he was slapped hard in the face.
