In a high-end villa in the center of Los Angeles City, Xiao Zhendong turned off the TV in front of him, put away a set of purple clay pots and tea sets on the coffee table, and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest.

However, for some reason, as soon as he raised his hand, he knocked over one of his favorite celadon teacups. These cups were the most familiar things in his daily life, and the action of collecting the cups was already very familiar to him.

But tonight, I don't know what happened. He didn't catch the tea cup after it fell. Within a few seconds, there was only a crisp sound, and the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

This seemed like a sign. Xiao Zhendong slowly sat down on the sofa and reached out to cover his chest.

An inexplicable and ominous premonition gradually swept over him from an invisible place. He felt very strange and began to think about the recent situation.

Since the death of the old man, except for the funeral, he and Xiao Li had never met again, and Xiao Zhendong thought that he had cleaned up all the traces left behind.

The hospital, the attending doctor, and even the nurses who handled the matter, as well as all the possible flaws and people who were involved, have all been dealt with cleanly. There are no problems, and there should not be problems...

Xiao Zhendong's face gradually became serious. He thought about it for a long time, and finally even called his assistant.

The cold wind howled outside the window, and Xiao Zhendong was sitting in the empty hall. The headlights had been turned off, and the floor lamp next to the sofa was dimly lit, making his face even darker.

"Has anything happened recently? Is there any movement on Xiao Li's side?"

The assistant over there was obviously frightened by his late-night call, and his voice came intermittently.

"No...no, don't worry."

Xiao Zhendong breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and then hung up the phone after confirming it again.

I haven't slept very well during this period, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much.

What could possibly happen? If there were really any clues over there, they would have come to the door a long time ago.

Besides, since he had made up his mind to act ruthlessly at that time, he naturally went through a foolproof plan and made corresponding arrangements one by one where all the details and possible flaws could be exposed.

Unexpectedly, even if the old man's attending physician at the time came back, he couldn't find anything wrong at all, let alone Xiao Li?

Xiao Zhendong sneered in his heart. The treacherous son who had always set his sights above all else had only achieved his current achievements because of the support and luck of the old man. Everyone looked at him favorably because of his status as the grandson of the Xiao family. He

You don’t know whose seed you are. It’s ridiculous. Aren’t you very capable? Aren’t you arrogant? Then why haven’t you discovered the strangeness of old immortality and death until now?

But he's just a somewhat clever fool.

Xiao Zhendong didn't have the affection that a father should have for his son Xiao Li. He had been weighed down by him for so many years and he had already regarded him as a rival or even an enemy.

He sat on the sofa for a while, feeling calmer, then stood up and prepared to take a step.

It was a cold winter, and strong winds were blowing outside the window, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and making a strange sound in the air.

The branches, which were almost stripped of their leaves, could not withstand the power of the cold wind and swayed back and forth involuntarily.

Xiao Zhendong stood up a little hastily. He glanced out the window casually while listening to the sound of the wind, and was about to turn around. However, at this moment, he suddenly trembled!

The dead branches outside the window swayed, and in the darkness of the night, which was like thick syrup splashing, it almost seemed like a ghostly shadow appeared!

Xiao Zhendong suddenly broke into sweat all over his body, and his heart began to beat violently, almost jumping out of his chest for a moment!

He subconsciously wanted to escape, but his legs suddenly felt as heavy as lead. He gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't move an inch!

Xiao Zhendong's teeth were clenching, and he could hardly restrain himself from shouting at that moment.

The surrounding sounds seemed to be blocked. Except for the thumping of his heartbeat, Xiao Zhendong could not hear any sound.

The air around him was suffocating. He didn't know how long it had been, but Xiao Zhendong kept his eyes closed tightly until there was a slight sound, and the surrounding area became brighter, followed by Yin Fanghui's voice.

"Hey, Zhendong, what are you doing? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night. What are you doing standing alone in the living room, motionless? You don't say anything when I come out. It's scary!"

Yin Fanghui glared at Xiao Zhendong dissatisfied, and crossed the living room to the kitchen. However, until she came out of the kitchen with a water glass, Xiao Zhendong was still standing on the side of the coffee table like a stone sculpture, without making any sound.

Only then did Yin Fanghui realize something was wrong. She walked around to Xiao Zhendong's side and wanted to ask him suspiciously what was going on. However, she was shocked when she saw Xiao Zhendong's face turned pale.

She could barely hold the cup in her hand, "Zhendong? You...what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? What happened?"

Xiao Zhendong seemed to have slowly come back to his senses, his eyes finally focused, and he turned to look at Yin Fanghui.

He opened his mouth and spoke with great difficulty, his voice still trembling.

"You...look out the window..."

Yin Fanghui was confused and felt that Xiao Zhendong was very baffled. However, his face was really ugly and he didn't look like he was joking, so he raised his eyes and looked out the window.

There is nothing but branches swaying wildly in the cold wind. What is there to see?

Yin Fanghui glanced at you and turned around, not as angry as you.

"What are you looking at? There's nothing there except a few dead branches. It's baffling. What's wrong with you?"

When Xiao Zhendong heard this, he still didn't believe it. He carefully turned his head and looked over there, and then murmured.

"No...no more..."

Yin Fanghui's tone was impatient, "Nothing? Xiao Zhendong, what on earth are you doing? You're crazy in the middle of the night!"

After Yin Fanghui finished speaking, she wanted to walk into the bedroom. She raised her hands and rubbed her eyes. Just as she was about to take steps, Xiao Zhendong behind her made a sound.

"I...I seemed to have seen something just now. I saw...I saw something I shouldn't have seen..."

There was still some uncontrollable trembling in Xiao Zhendong's tone. In the silent night, it sounded very strange. Yin Fanghui paused in his steps. Although his mind was still a little unclear in the middle of the night, the words "should not be seen" itself
