Chapter 18.1
Ye Sui stood in front of the elevator and stared at the elevator numbers descending . Soon, the elevator would reach the ground floor . “Let’s go to the 20th floor . ”
Neither Chen Shu nor Ye Sui knew that they were heading to the same floor .
As soon as Fangirl Ghost finished speaking another female ghost suddenly came out of the elevator . The elevator doors were still closed, but a ghost had emerged…
The new ghost wore an ancient dress, with her hair pulled up in a high bun . It was obvious from her appearance that she had died at a young age . However, unlike other ghosts that showed physically trauma they suffered that led to their deaths, her appearance was that of a normal person .
The female ghost suddenly coming out of the elevator shaft scared Ye Sui, but she quickly pretended she didn’t see anything . Maybe the ghost wouldn’t notice her if she stayed quiet…
“Stop pretending, Wei Xuan already told me that you can see us . ” The ancient ghost told her and mockingly poked Ye Sui’s forehead . Since her plan of pretending that she couldn’t see anything failed, Ye Sui’s gaze fixed on the ancient ghost again .
After Wei Xuan died, she often visited Weizhi’s group . It was not that surprising that she knew this elevator ghost .
“You have to hurry . The president of Huarui Company already entered the elevator . If the moment comes and he’s nearby, you won’t be able to meet Wei Wei’s mother . ”
Hearing the ancient ghost, Fangirl Ghost panicked . “What should we do, big sister? I must see my mother today!”
Ever since Fangirl Ghost found Ye Sui, she had been in high spirits . She had only been sixteen years old when she died, hence why she had been so desperate to find someone like Ye Sui .
It suddenly dawned on Ye Sui that when they had entered the elevator, the other one had already gone up . Supposedly, it was the elevator that the president of Huarui company had entered .
“Do you have any ways to slow them down a little? Just enough for us to arrive first, then you can let them go . ” Ye Sui turned to the ancient ghost for help . With a somewhat embarrassed laugh, the ancient ghost nodded . “I do this often, I’m very proficient at it . ”
The ancient ghost did not die by accident . She lurked in this building because her grave had been just below the Weizhi building . When the company started constructing the building, her grave was moved to another place .
However, the ancient ghost was fond of her original resting place, so she simply stayed . While she was alive, she had never seen such technology as the elevator . She fell in love with it at first sight .
From time to time, she’d play pranks on the company’s employees, just to stave off boredom . Sometimes the elevator would stop in the wrong floors, or the doors would open for no reason .

Seeing the gleeful expression on the ancient ghost’s face, Ye Sui only sighed and delivered the task . “I’ll leave this matter to you, then . ”
The plan was quite simple: once the elevator reached a floor, it would stop and the doors would open . Meanwhile, the elevator Ye Sui and Fangirl Ghost were on would arrive first on the 20th floor .
When the people inside the other elevator saw all the floor buttons lit up without anyone touching them, they would certainly be frightened . With a smirk on her face, the ancient ghost drifted into the other elevator .
But before she could act on her prank scheme, she got scared to death by the Yang spirit inside the elevator .
How come the Huarui President was so scary?
Chen Shu stood right in front of the elevator buttons . The ancient ghost didn’t even dare think of crossing that invisible barrier and swiftly got out of the elevator . She still completed the task Ye Sui gave her by pressing the elevator buttons on all the floors, but from the outside .
For a normal person, pressing the button on every floor would be insanity, but for a ghost, it wasn’t that big of a deal .
Inside the elevator that the ghost had just flown out of stood Wang Chuan . He suddenly felt quite a difference in the temperature inside, enough that goosebumps appeared on his arms . Gingerly touching his arm, he wondered at the sensation . “Why did it suddenly get colder in here?”

All he got from Chen Shu, who wasn’t the least bit affected, was a weird glance . He was a big man, but he was very afraid of cold weather . He could only blame himself for being so talkative and shaming himself in front of the President .
Wang Chuan felt like someone was pressuring him, but maybe it was all his imagination . After thinking for a while, he concluded that yes, it was all just an illusion . If he didn’t chalk everything up to his overactive imagination, then he’d lose even more face in front of the President .
—Ding!
The elevator stopped at the next floor and the doors opened up . Oddly enough, there was no one waiting . Both men inside the elevator thought that someone had maybe given up on waiting after pressing the button . The doors closed and they proceeded to the next floor .
—Ding!
The elevator stopped again on the next floor .
Wang Chuan leaned his body out of the elevator and looked around . There was no one outside but the elevator doors were open . His courage was already small but once a sudden evil breeze passed through him, he was shaken .

Glancing around, he saw that Chen Shu was completely unaffected . He couldn’t care less that the elevator had stopped for no one again . Since neither the President nor his colleagues said anything, Wang Chuan didn’t make a big fuss about it .
Once again, the elevator doors closed and it continued its journey upwards .
—Ding!
—Ding! —Ding!
—Ding! —Ding! —Ding!
The elevator stopped on every floor it passed, but no one came in . By then Wang Chuan wasn’t the only one flustered, even his colleagues were a little bewildered .
“President Chen, do you think this elevator is haunted?”
To be continue… .
