Chapter 201
Even when Chen Ge’s throat was raw from screaming, the white cat refused to budge . After a few more minutes of that, Chen Ge gave up . This cat is very intelligent . It wandered over on its own when it was lunch time, but the moment I started to pack, it ran outside .
Looking at tree, Chen Ge sighed helplessly . He picked up his backpack and left the park . When he arrived at Fang Hwa Apartments, the sky was already dark .
Last time I was here, I forgot to ask about this place from Doctor Gao . The buildings here are quite old already . I wonder if there are any weird incidents that have happened here .
Chen Ge scrolled through his phone for the information provided by the police . It stated that Patient No . 2 had once been seen here, but there was no detailed address .
This is not going to be easy . The police use code for each patient, so I don’t even know her name . Just based on a picture, it’s going to be hard .
Fang Hwa Apartments was considered quite high-end in Jiujiang . The buildings in front were six older buildings; they were smaller than the three new buildings that were built at the back . Each building was over twenty stories, and Wang Xin’s family was staying in one of the newer buildings .
I should start by asking the security guards .
The main reason Chen Ge was there was to complete the Tape Ghost’s wish so that he could hire him as an employee . That was his main mission, but since he was there, Chen Ge would not mind finding out about Patient 2 as well .
He walked over to the security room and turned his phone to show them the picture that had been given to him by Captain Yan . I’m sorry, but have you seen this woman before?
The individual aspects of Patient 2’s face was flawless, but when put together, there was just this incorrect feeling to it . The security guard not only did not answer Chen Ge’s question . He looked at Chen Ge with alarm like he was someone suspicious . “You’re not a tenant here, are you?”

“I’m not,” Chen Ge answered honestly .
“Then I don’t need to answer your question . ” The man walked out from the room . “If this lady is our tenant, we will not reveal any information about her, and if she’s not, I won’t know anything about her . ”
Chen Ge was baffled by the security guard . He did not expect such hostility .
“Xiao Gu, don’t be such a spoilsport . ” There was another guard inside the room . He was much older than the one who talked to Chen Ge . He was about sixty and was just removing his guard outfit to change into his casual clothes . He walked out of the room, chuckling . “Forgive him . He was scolded this morning for something that wasn’t his fault, and he’s not feeling so good . ”
“My feeling is perfectly well . Ol’ Wong, quickly go home . Your family is waiting for you . Leave this to me,” the young security guard said impatiently .
“If I leave this to you, you’ll end up getting lectured again tomorrow . You never learn . Would it kill you to be a little nicer to our guests?” Ol’ Wong sighed, shaking his head . “How many times have I told you? We’re just the security; move your limbs more than your lips . Whether it is right or wrong, it is not our place to judge . ”
“It’s alright, I quite admire his attitude, straightforward and not pretentious,” Chen Ge said . He instinctively felt this young security was quite an interesting character . “And how may I refer to you?”
“Gu Feiyu, you can call him Xiao Gu . He’s our night guard, very brace and is a kind person . However, there’s no filter on the words that leave his lips . ” It was obvious that Ol’ Wong was very protective of Gu Feiyu .
“Night guard? Do you need to patrol this place at night?” Chen Ge’s focus was not Gu Feiyu . He slowly moved the topic of conversation away .
“We have to ensure the safety of our tenants every hour of the day . ” Ol’ Wong patted the dust on his trousers . “By the way, you’re looking for someone, right? Tell me the name, I’ve been here for a decade already, so I practically know everyone . ”

“I don’t know her name, but I have her picture . ” Chen Ge clicked onto the picture and passed his phone to the kind gentleman .
“It’ll be easier with a picture . ” Ol’ Wong accepted the phone and lowered his head to look . When his eyes feel on the screen, the blood drained from his face, and Chen Ge’s phone almost fell from his fingers .
“You know her?” Chen Ge moved one step forward . Ol’ Wong pushed the phone back to Chen Ge like it was some kind of dangerous object .
“This woman is very important . She’s involved in many cases . ” Chen Ge was considering flashing Captain Yan’s name .
“This woman again? The police already asked about her yesterday . ” Gu Feiyu was a straight shooter .
“Then what did you tell the police?” Chen Ge was even more intrigued .
Ol’ Wong reached out to stop Gu Feiyu . With a complicated gaze, he said, “This woman is mad . That’s what I told the police yesterday . ”
“Mad?” Chen Ge stood before Ol’ Wong . “Your reaction was not exactly subtle earlier, so it looks like you have a deep impression of this woman . ”
“It’s nothing . ” Ol’ Wong was more experienced in dealing with people, and he only revealed half of the information . “The woman in the picture has the surname Bai, but I suspect that is fake . The woman in the picture is totally different from what she looks like in person . ”
There was a trace of fear at the bottom of Ol’ Wong’s eyes . “The reason I remember her so clearly is because two or three years ago, when she first moved into Fang Hwa Apartments, her neighbors kept complaining about her, saying there was a weird smell coming from her room, and there would be intense arguments at night . ”
“That’s all?”
“Initially, it was fine . The landowner visited the woman, and after some communication, the woman admitted her mistake . She not only apologized but also volunteered to pay monetary reimbursement . ”
“That doesn’t make her mad, does it?” Chen Ge was arranging the information internally . The woman had moved out from the Third Sick Hall four years ago . She moved to Fang Hwa Apartments three years ago and disappeared from this place two years ago .
“Two to three months after that, there came this rumor that her building was haunted . Someone said that there would be a white shadow in the corridor at midnight .
“Some tenants even said that they heard scratching outside their doors at midnight and a soft woman’s voice asking, ‘Is anyone home? If no one’s home, I’m coming in . ‘
“This was worse than a prank, so the security team was tasked with standing guard in her building . But weirdly enough, whenever we were on duty, the white shadow and the woman’s voice would not appear . It was like she was playing hide-and-seek with us .
“We are not made of steel . After we kept up the stake-out for two weeks, many gave up . For the whole month after that, both the white shadow and the woman’s voice didn’t appear, and we thought things were over . However, we still ordered two security guards to patrol the building every night .
“On the second month, our colleague who was supposed to patrol the building with me took an emergency leave, and I didn’t dare patrol the place alone . Unfortunately, I received a call from one of the tenants saying that the voice had returned . I grabbed my baton and took the elevator to that tenant’s floor .
“The moment the door opened, I saw, not far away, a white shadow lying against one of the doors, its lips mumbling, ‘Is anyone home? If no one’s home, I’m coming in . ‘”
The wrinkles on Ol’ Wong’s face was squeezed together . Even now, when he thought about that particular memory, he would still feel fear .
“That white shadow is the mad woman?” Chen Ge could imagine how Ol’ Wong must have felt then .

Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores.
