"Hello, may I ask, are the Lu family you are talking about still in the hotel?"

These words seemed to come from the underworld, suddenly appearing in the air with a chilling chill.

The atmosphere that was originally so quiet that you could hear the echo even if a pin dropped on the ground was torn apart in an instant, like a mirror suddenly shattered, leaving fragments and cracks all over the floor.

The two waiters trembled like frightened rabbits, their eyes widened, and they looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of them in shock.

He looked ordinary, even a little honest and dull, but at this moment his eyes were full of an indescribable expectation and confusion, like a lamb lost in the darkness, eager to find a glimmer of light guidance.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the whole world was filled with only the tense and strange look between the three of them.

A gust of cold wind blew from nowhere and passed over the bodies of the three people, bringing a slight chill and making the atmosphere more solemn.

"Are they still there?"

"Here, the accounts haven't been settled yet, and I haven't left yet."

One of the waiters took a deep breath to calm down, then raised his hand and pointed not far ahead, and explained to the man in front of him with a smile and a very gentle tone:

"Sir, please keep walking along this road. When you reach the end, turn left. The innermost room is the lounge. The Lu family should be resting there at this moment."

After hearing these words, the man's tense face relaxed a little, and his eyes also showed some gratitude.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded slightly, and expressed his gratitude to the waiter in a slightly hoarse and low voice: "Thank you very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward, leaving the two waiters looking at each other.

The two waiters looked at the man's retreating back and smiled at each other, with a bit of curiosity and contempt in their eyes.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Lu family actually has such poor-looking relatives."

One of the waiters whispered, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"Hmph, there's nothing strange about this."

Another waiter said, "The Lu family is in such a dilapidated state now. It's normal to have poor relatives. Looking at his clothes, you can tell that he must not have much money, but I will not lack the courtesy he should have." ”

Speaking of this, the two couldn't help laughing, as if they found a sense of superiority in this seemingly poor man.

However, there was a hint of desolation and helplessness in their laughter, as if they were mocking themselves for just making a living under the precarious Lu family.

The Lu family, once so glorious and glorious, has now fallen into this state.

The two waiters shook their heads, said nothing, and turned around to continue their respective tasks.

And the man they thought was poor had already gone to the lounge.

His pace was fast but steady, as if with some firm determination.

The gorgeous lights and decorations flowing around him failed to conceal the indescribable aura about him.

The door to the lounge was closed. The man took a deep breath and knocked lightly.

There was a faint reply from behind the door, and the door opened in response, revealing the faces of the Lu family.

A creepy smile suddenly appeared on Xu Haojie's face, which was originally so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water.

This smile was like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, cold and sinister, revealing an unspeakable and strange aura.

It was completely different from the impression Xu Haojie usually left on people, making the surrounding air seem to solidify in an instant.

"Young Master Lu, long time no see. How are you?"

The hoarse voice echoed in the empty corridor, and Xu Haojie's figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

Lu Zhengguo was busy with something with his head down. When he heard these words, he suddenly raised his head, his pupils dilated instantly, and a trace of undisguised panic flashed across his face.

He froze in place, as if he had seen something incredible, and his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, leaving only the sound of their heavy breathing intertwining in the air.

Lu Zhengguo clung to the door frame and used all his strength to press against the door, as if he wanted to integrate himself with the door.

His eyes widened, he bit his lips tightly, veins popped out on his forehead, and his face was full of determination and determination.

Xu Haojie, who was standing outside the door, kept pushing the door hard, trying to force his way into the house.

His face was extremely gloomy, sparks of anger flashed in his eyes, and he kept shouting something.

The two sides were in a stalemate, with no one willing to give in. The whole scene was extremely tense, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it made people breathless.

As time passed, Lu Zhengguo's fingers began to turn white due to excessive exertion, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted; Xu Haojie became more and more irritable, his voice became louder and his tone became more fierce.

Finally, Xu Haojie kicked the door open.

Lu Zhengguo's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but his hands were still shaking slightly uncontrollably.

"Xu Haojie... you... are you a human or a ghost?" Lu Zhengguo's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was spoken with all his strength.

The corners of Xu Haojie's mouth raised slightly, and the weird smile became stronger.

He slowly approached Lu Zhengguo and said softly: "Why should Mr. Lu be so afraid? Of course I am a human being, but I have become a little different from before after experiencing some things. As for why I appear here...hehe , it’s a long story.”

Speaking of this, Xu Haojie paused, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Then, he continued to say in that creepy tone: "Actually, I came here to ask Young Master Lu for a small favor. As long as Young Master Lu is willing to help, maybe we can become good friends in the future. ~"

Lu Zhengguo stared at Xu Haojie closely, thinking to himself. The once familiar face in front of me has now become so unfamiliar and unpredictable.

He didn't know what Xu Haojie wanted, let alone what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind the so-called "help".

Lu Zhengguo swallowed, as if something was stuck in his throat. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "You...what do you want me to help you with?"

Xu Haojie laughed weakly, and the laughter echoed in the empty corridor, carrying an indescribable weirdness and terror.

He slowly approached Lu Zhengguo and whispered his request.

Lu Zhengguo, on the other hand, could only stand there stiffly, listening to Xu Haojie's words, feeling an inexplicable fear and tension in his heart.

"what?"
