The person involved was feeling quite restless, knowing full well how nervous he had been while deceiving that ghost.
He remembered a while back, the other party had lost a necklace at home. It was said to be a gift from her brother-in-law, and she cherished it dearly. On the day it was lost, she nearly turned the entire house upside down looking for it.
But despite searching multiple times, they couldn’t find it, and she had to return home frustrated.
Initially, he hadn’t thought of using this as an excuse, but the master had mentioned that the reason this vengeful spirit clung to his sister was related to her brother-in-law.
Having read plenty of online novels, he roughly understood the concept of cause and effect.
If that were the case, then anything tied to her brother-in-law would surely catch the ghost’s attention. So, with a “nothing to lose” attitude, he told her that he had found the necklace and asked her to come over to retrieve it.
The result, unsurprisingly, didn’t disappoint the meager knowledge he had gained from those sleepless nights of binge-reading web novels.
The ghost was thrilled, even lowering her guard significantly, and fell right into his trap.
“Master, what do I need to do next?”
He had initially wanted to ask whether he needed things like black dog’s blood or rooster’s blood, but upon reflection, he realized there was nothing of the sort at home. Asking would have been pointless anyway, and with the ghost arriving in ten minutes, there simply wasn’t enough time to prepare.
Yao Yao shook her head, telling him not to bother. After all, given his train of thought, he’d probably think of things like black dog’s blood.
While such methods might work on ordinary spirits, the ghost possessing his sister was no ordinary entity.
She had a physical body to shield her, rendering many anti-spirit techniques ineffective.
Ten minutes—long enough to feel anxious, yet short enough to pass quickly, especially when a group of people were eagerly waiting for the spectacle. Suffice it to say, everyone was on edge.
And then, with the sound of the doorbell ringing, the person involved shot up straight, his gaze darting around nervously before finally landing on Yao Yao, as if silently asking, Should I just go open the door?
Yao Yao understood his unspoken question and nodded. “Don’t worry, just go ahead and open the door.”
Upon hearing this, he took a deep breath, straightened his back, and marched toward the entrance with exaggerated bravado. To an outsider, it almost looked like he was heading off to face his doom.
Though he was about to confront a malevolent spirit, the internet audience couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all.
Having mentally prepared himself, he opened the door without hesitation. But when he saw the two people standing outside, he froze.
The two weren’t strangers—one was the evil spirit possessing his sister’s body, and the other was none other than his own brother-in-law. He hadn’t expected that after contacting them, the two would coincidentally meet up.
“Am I that surprising to see? Didn’t you call me here?”
His brother-in-law was still dressed in a suit, clearly having been at work. Upon hearing that his wife was in trouble, he couldn’t sit still.
Being the company boss, he didn’t need to request leave—he simply rushed over immediately.
But when he arrived at the doorstep and saw his wife standing there, perfectly fine and ringing the doorbell, he was utterly dumbfounded. His first thought was that his little brother-in-law was playing a prank on him.
Still, he didn’t lash out immediately. Since he was already here, he figured he could just go inside and get to the bottom of things.
At this point, the “sister” possessed by the ghost extended her hand and said, “Where is it? Hand it over.”
“Come in and sit for a bit first. I’ll go get it from the room.”
Afraid that she might run off, the person involved mustered his courage and invited them inside.
The ghost frowned slightly, clearly reluctant to enter, especially after seeing that her husband had been called back as well. She had a bad feeling about this, but since she didn’t move, neither did the others.
She didn’t want to prolong the awkward standoff. Sensing that there was no one else in the house, she felt reassured and stepped inside.
The brother-in-law naturally followed, and the two sat down on the couch while the person involved excused himself to go to the bedroom to retrieve something.
Of course, he wasn’t going to fetch any necklace. Earlier, fearing the ghost might become suspicious, he had left his phone in the room.
In the living room, the sister possessed by the ghost gazed at her husband’s weary face, her expression softening.
She scolded gently, “Little Cheng, don’t you know your brother-in-law is busy at work? Dragging him all the way back here without explaining anything...”
“I’ll definitely tell Mom about this later so she can discipline him properly. He’s becoming more and more unruly.”
The brother-in-law, however, didn’t seem bothered. He waved his hand dismissively. “It’s not far. Just a few steps away.”
“Little Cheng hasn’t explained yet. Who knows, maybe it’s something serious!”
Despite his carefree demeanor, the brother-in-law genuinely cared for his younger brother-in-law. Whenever it came to his wife’s matters, the latter was always the first to rush over.
For that alone, the brother-in-law couldn’t bring himself to dislike him.
“What serious matters could he possibly have!” The “sister” sneered, curling her lips disdainfully.
“How can you talk about your younger brother like that? I remember you two used to have such a close relationship!”
Her tone caused the brother-in-law to furrow his brows. He had been finding his wife strange lately, especially in how she treated his younger brother-in-law and even her own family.
At first, he hadn’t noticed. The first time he saw his wife interact with her younger brother, he had even felt a pang of jealousy, which became a source of amusement for a long time afterward.
To make up for it, his wife had explained their relationship to him. She said that when their parents were busy, they hardly paid attention to her younger brother after he turned one. Essentially, she had raised him herself.
To put it bluntly, she was more like a mother to him. Even when facing problems, her younger brother would confide in her first rather than their parents.
On their wedding day, the siblings had cried their eyes out. That kind of bond couldn’t be faked. Logically speaking, things shouldn’t have changed so drastically.
But the face and voice were undeniably his wife’s. Though he had questioned it a few times, he ultimately attributed the changes to her pregnancy.
Hearing her husband’s words, the “sister” realized she had said something she shouldn’t have.
It wasn’t her fault. Who could harbor goodwill toward the woman who stole her beloved man and her family?
She had tried her best to control her feelings in front of her “husband,” but the deep-seated hostility couldn’t be erased. Sometimes, the derogatory remarks slipped out without her even realizing it.
To prevent her husband from growing suspicious, she quickly racked her brain for a way to smooth over her earlier slip-up.
However, before she could come up with anything, a cold voice interrupted her thoughts.
“I know why.”
At that moment, the person involved, who was supposed to be retrieving the necklace, walked out holding a mobile phone instead.
His gaze was icy as he stared at the woman occupying his sister’s body—a stark contrast to the warmth and dependence he had shown in the past.
This look sent a jolt through the ghost’s heart. Seeing that he hadn’t brought out any necklace only heightened her unease. She was about to scold him when the man cut her off.
“Oh, Little Cheng, then explain!”
The brother-in-law was also curious and leaned in with interest. He glanced between his wife and younger brother-in-law, hoping to clear up any misunderstandings today.
However, to his surprise, his younger brother-in-law slowly raised his hand, pointed directly at his wife, and declared, word by word:
“Because she is not my sister!”
