Chapter 18: A Doubtful Point
Among the villa’s family of four, only the younger son had exhibited the most normal behavior.
Although the younger son was fond of reading horror novels and didn’t like talking at all, compared to the Gu couple, who enjoyed eating rotten mice meat, and the older son, who acted as a basket case, this is a relatively melancholic child.
Not to mention that yesterday afternoon, the younger son had asked An Qing to read him the horror story of a ‘Door-Knocking Ghost’ as if this was him discreetly giving them a tip.

But before he swung the ax, the door suddenly burst open.
