Deng Haotian was quite efficient. He arranged a party venue for Lin Xinghe before nightfall.

The party site was the negative second floor of the community, or in other terms, the parking lot.

There were a sparse seven or eight parked cars, and there was a large open space in the middle, which was spotlessly clean. At this moment, there was a balloon arch set up, and a banner was pulled up on the arch – Homeowners’ Association Gathering. A red carpet was placed on the ground, two ice sculptures on top, and three or four long tables were neatly placed in the back. The tables were covered with exquisite tablecloths, and there were Japanese and Korean dishes, desserts, cold drinks, and even an ice cream machine.

Deng Haotian patted his chest and said, “Boss Lin, please be assured about the quality of my work. The owners here don’t like to drive, and the cars over there are full of dust. I asked housekeeping to clean them up…”

Saying that, Deng Haotian pressed the switch.

A small string of lights hanging in the air suddenly lit up, making the parking lot feel more like a party venue.

Deng Haotian said, “I originally planned to make a cardboard cutout of Boss Lin, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough time.” He smiled professionally and asked, “Are you satisfied with this venue?”

Lin Xinghe was quite satisfied and nodded.

At this time, Manager An next to Deng Haotian said, “Ms. Lin, I have informed all the owners and they agreed to come to the party.”

Manager An looked at the parking lot with cold sweat dripping down his back.

He gently chided, “Ms. Lin, many of the owners here are elderly people. Although they are willing to come to the party, they are not young and must rest early. If possible, you should try to end the gathering earlier, before midnight at least. The elderly need rest, and the soundproofing here is not very good…”

If an underground parking lot in a residential area was not soundproof, could it still be called a parking lot?

Lin Xinghe heard the implications and grasped the main point of Manager An’s words—

After midnight, something was bound to happen.

Lin Xinghe’s smile became brighter and sweeter.

“Okay, I’ll try to end it as soon as possible. Is it convenient for me to give me information about other owners? Just names and photos. I know that the owners’ personal information is involved, but we’ll all meet tonight. If I’ll know the information in advance, it will be much more convenient to communicate with them…”

Manager An said, “As long as it’s just the name and a photo, it will be fine.”

Lin Xinghe said, “That’s good. By the way, how many exits and entrances are there?”

Manager An replied, “The entrance and exit for cars is one. There’s an elevator for residents, and then an emergency fire exit, so three in total.”

Lin Xinghe asked for the exact locations.

Manager An answered one by one.

Lin Xinghe said, “Okay, thank you.”

Manager An vaguely reminded, “The fire exit is suitable for escaping.”

Lin Xinghe said, “Okay, thank you for your help. Today’s party probably isn’t the best time to repay you both. I’ll invite you to dinner next time when you are free.”

Deng Haotian said with a smile, “You’re welcome.”

When he and Manager An left, Manager An turned his head and glanced at Lin Xinghe, whispering to Deng Haotian, “You guys in real estate are really wicked. That girl looks to be in her early twenties at most, and she’ll be gone after tonight… …”

Deng Haotian replied, “She wants to buy the houses, and she wants to hold a party. I didn’t do anything. I just tried my best to meet the boss’s needs.”

Manager An continued, “You know that the people who live here are…”

Deng Haotian’s expression changed suddenly, and he said, “Don’t mention it, the second underground floor is very eerie.”

Manager An replied, “I was so nervous about the phone calls with the owners today… If it weren’t for the high wages, I would definitely not work here.”

The two left the parking lot while talking.

They did not know that the conversation all fell into Lin Xinghe’s ears.

Fu Zhou rubbed his hands together and said, “Is it going to be haunted at night?”

Jiuge: “It seems like it is.”

Lin Xinghe looked at Xie Wuan and said, “Don’t kill them.”

Xie Wuan replied, “I am not a cruel person…”

As soon as the words fell, Jiuge, Fu Zhou and Lin Xinghe’s three pairs of eyes landed on Xie Wuan. Xiao Xue Ji followed her mother’s line of sight and raised her head, staring at Xie Wuan with a pair of jet-black eyes.

Xie Wuan: “…”

Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan’s inner voice at this time: “…It doesn’t matter.”

It was followed by a long sigh.

Lin Xinghe wanted to ask him what didn’t matter. She listened attentively for a while, but she didn’t hear the rest of the context. She only heard him say, “This illustrious one won’t kill them, but they have to stay with us and cannot be taken away by the other candidates.”

Before he finished speaking, Xie Wuan’s figure had disappeared. In the next instant, Deng Haotian and Manager An had been tied up by Xie Wuan. They were dragged, floating through the air behind Xie Wuan.

Their mouths were gagged.
