Chapter 75.1
Mu Rulan had a surprised look on her face as she turned to Chen Hai . Seeing the look on her face, he interpreted it to mean that she was trying to hide this, so he explained quickly, “U-Uh… Miss, please don’t worry . I’m just asking, I don’t have any other intentions . Mo Qianren… He seems like a good person, and both of you are very well-matched…”

It was just that his background was terrible, he didn’t deserve Mu Rulan! And according to Uncle Bao, that person had even snuck into Mu Rulan’s house before . What a strange man . He couldn’t help but worry for Mu Rulan .
“Is that so?” She blinked innocently . Translated by The Novelst
Did she really look so well-matched to Mo Qianren? Mn… That was surprising . And now that he was on her mind, she remembered the last time when she had asked about his job, he said he was working at a mental hospital . Then this year when she went to Hong Kong she could pay a visit . She wanted to have a glimpse at how it really was . Who knew if that was where she belonged .
Mu Rulan seemed to have missed the point . Chen Hai saw that she didn’t deny it, so he immediately became anxious . As he drove, he kept thinking about how to warn Mu Rulan not to be deceived, but he couldn’t find the right words . And even past that, he was struggling with himself on whether or not to report this matter to Grandpa Ke .
Chen Hai was so immersed in his own thoughts that he didn’t notice that there was a car following them .
Jin Biaohu stared at Mu Rulan’s car, knowing that she was no ordinary person . She had been chosen by the country, and involving others might cause the operation to fail, so he was alone .

Mu Rulan asked Chen Hai to park outside the gate and she went in alone . Chen Hai and Uncle Bao stood together, watching her figure fade into the distance, expressions like a father watching his daughter being deceived by a jerk, but unable to do anything about it .
The surroundings were very quiet . Bai Suqing had run out in the middle of the night yesterday, and Uncle Bao had been sleeping inside the security kiosk then . Bai Suqing had opened the iron gate herself as she tried to run away . That was when he had woken up .
He had been confused for a moment until he remembered that Bai Suqing was the one who had stayed in Mu Rulan’s house . He had walked curiously in and cursed to see that the door to the house and gates were all left wide open . He had cursed unhappily and closed it all up .
He thought then that this child had no manners at all, leaving the doors open when she left the house .
Mu Rulan opened the gate, smiling to see her house .
Her living room was a little messy . It looked like someone had cooked noodles and hadn’t cleaned up after themselves, dirty plates left on the table with a few apple cores beside them .
“Hm,” Mu Rulan looked at the apple cores, a smile at the edges of her mouth .

Hoho… She really took it as her own house, huh? Hadn’t anyone told her not to eat apples from strangers, especially apples from a witch’s house?
Mu Rulan cleaned the table and washed the plates, wiping her hands and then going upstairs .
The dark red carpet had shifted quite a bit . It looked like Bai Suqing had fallen and pulled the carpet along yesterday .
When she finally reached the next floor, the scary sound at the window appeared again . Her expression didn’t change at all, and she walked all the way to the last room at the end of the hallway .
Creak…
The door wasn’t shut, so it creaked open by itself before she could push it open . Inside, she could see the wardrobe and the figure of a man, or perhaps she should say a human puppet doll that had fallen out of the wardrobe . Countless threads were scattered on the floor .
The knocking continued in the room non-stop . She hummed as she walked over to the doll . Instead of picking him up, she opened the other door to the wardrobe . Inside, there was another human puppet with a twisted expression looking painfully at Mu Rulan . Fear and terror were written all over his face .

“Good afternoon,” Mu Rulan greeted, before bending his legs and turning off the alarm that was making the knocking sound .
It was a special alarm clock . It had special settings that allowed her to set the alarm in a few hours’ time, and let her automate it to stop on its own for half an hour, and start again . It was automatic .
Just as Mo Qianren had said, Mu Rulan was a psycho . She liked to purposefully create mysteries and scare people off . Well, she had no choice . There were no ghosts in this world so she had to do all this by herself to satisfy her desires, ya .
She heard someone knock on the door downstairs .
She stilled for a moment, before her smile deepened . She did not go and open the door immediately, instead choosing to pick up the doll on the floor . Because she had drained all the blood from his body, she could still pick him up even though the man was much taller than her .
Jin Biaohu had a utility knife hidden in his sleeve . He continuously looked around as he knocked on the door . Though there were several trees in the area and a lot of distance between houses, he was still anxious .
Hurry up, open the door! Translated by The Novelst
After a while, he heard movement inside the house .
Jin Biaohu gripped the knife tightly, various scenarios flashing through his mind .
Once Mu Rulan opened the door, he would pounce immediately and stab her in the neck . But that didn’t seem like enough for how much he had suffered in prison . Could he let her die so easily?
His backup plan was to restrain her once she opened the door and not allow her to scream . He would abuse her until she was bruised and battered and then he would send her off for good!
