Chapter 995: Chapter 983: Turning the Tables
The phone was quickly connected, and the leading man said, "Madam, there's been a bit of a change. The
woman you asked us to deal with seems to be friends with the wife of that Assistant Tang from the Zhan
Corporation, and now the two of them have run off together."
"We were thinking that involving Assistant Tang's wife might cause sproblems, so..."
"Enough chit-chat!"
On the other end of the phone, Mother Jin impatiently interrupted the man, "Just an assistant’s wife; so what if
she’s involved? Are you scared of that? Follow the original plan!"
"As long as you handle this for me, I'll make sure you're taken care of for the rest of your lives, with more than
enough riches!"
With that, Mother Jin hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
Tempted by money, the men immediately brushed aside their previous concerns and gave chase.
What they didn’t expect was that Lin Xiuxiang, dragging Qiao Jing, turned left and right, and finally dashed into a
haunted house at an amusement park.
Seeing the two head into the pitch-dark haunted house, the men stood outside, looking at each other in disbelief.
"What do we do? Do we go in?"
"It’s pitch black in there; we have no idea what's going on."
Hearing this from his companions, the leader snorted coldly, "Do you want the money or not? If you want it,
followin. If not, get lost!"
With that, the leader took the lead and walked into the haunted house.
The others, seeing this, had no choice but to muster up their courage and follow.
Because the men hesitated at the door for a while, Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang had already put sdistance
between them.
Inside the haunted house, it was pitch black. The occasional light was eerie, the surroundings were creepy, and
chilling sounds echoed around.
"It's so dark in here. Even if they follow us, they won't find us right away, so we should be relatively safe," Lin
Xiuxiang said, but she unconsciously tightened her grip on Qiao Jing’s hand, her fingers trembling.
Feeling Lin Xiuxiang’s fear, Qiao Jing gently held her hand in return, lightly patting it to comfort her, "It's alright,
these things are all fake."
Lin Xiuxiang nodded, curling up beside Qiao Jing.
At that moment, a red light flashed, and suddenly, an NPC covered in blood and with disheveled hair appeared
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtout of nowhere.
"Ahhhh——" Lin Xiuxiang screamed in terror.
In stark contrast to Lin Xiuxiang’s extrfear, Qiao Jing remained remarkably calm.
Unfazed, she raised her hand and pushed the NPC blocking her way aside, then comforted Lin Xiuxiang as she
led her forward, "It's okay now, don’t be scared."
The NPC, who was pushed aside, was bewildered.
What's going on?
Isnt his appearance scary enough?
Why isn’t this girl afraid at all?!
Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang hadn't gone far before the second NPC appeared.
This one descended from the ceiling, dressed like an apocalyptic zombie, appearing unexpectedly.
This time, even before Lin Xiuxiang could feel fear, the zombie NPC was already pulled down by Qiao Jing.
The "zombie," suddenly pulled down, was at a loss, staring blankly at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing gestured to the side, signaling the "zombie" to step aside, "Please, step aside, thank you."
The "zombie" obediently backed away, internally frustrated.
If everyone coming into the haunted house were as fearless as this girl, wouldn't they all be out of a job?!
Seeing Qiao Jing so composed, Lin Xiuxiang couldn't help but admire her.
She clung to Qiao Jing’s arm, exclaiming, "Xiao Jing, you're amazing! You're so brave!"
Qiao Jing smiled faintly, "It’s alright."
As they spoke, the third NPC appeared.
This one was dressed as a headless ghost, holding a bloody head in its hand, the head's tongue sticking out
long, looking terrifying.
Qiao Jing, quick on her feet, immediately covered Lin Xiuxiang’s eyes, then completely ignored the "headless
ghost" in front, leading Lin Xiuxiang around it.
The "headless ghost" looked down at the head in its hand, taking quite a while to react.
He was such a scary "headless ghost," yet he was ignored?!
Subsequent NPCs were also elegantly ignored by Qiao Jing.
For a moment, all the NPCs felt their career pride had hit rock bottom!
Under Qiao Jing’s lead, Lin Xiuxiang was no longer as scared.
Lin Xiuxiang felt that the girl beside her was like a human shield, blocking all things terrifying, giving a great
sense of security.
This feeling reminded her of past times with Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing was always like this, able to provide a strong sense of security, making her feel incredibly at ease...
After walking a bit further, Qiao Jing suddenly had a flash of insight, coming up with an idea.
She casually stopped an NPC running out to scare them, speaking in a negotiating tone, "I want to ask a favor
from you and your colleagues."
As she spoke, Qiao Jing pulled out all the cash she had and handed it to the NPC.
The NPC was stunned, somewhat dumbfounded.
Truth be told, in all his years as an NPC, this was the first the’d met a player who wasn’t scared of him and
even gave him money!
After a while, the NPC snapped out of his shock and looked at Qiao Jing, asking, "What do you want us to help
with?"
"Well, a few friends followed us in,
and they're quite brave, looking for

"No problem, leave it to us!"
The NPC promised confidently, patting his chest, and then took out a wireless rato communicate with the
other NPCs in the haunted house.
Because the NPCs had just received quite a setback from Qiao Jing, they were eager to seize this opportunity to
regain sNPC dignity.
When the men tailing behind them appeared, the NPCs pulled out all the stops, taking on all sorts of ghastly
forms like rotten corpses and wandering ghosts.
The lighting was adjusted to the most terrifying mode, and the music was the most eerie and chilling, creating a
scene straight out of Hell.
"Ahhhht!ti"

One of them, being particularly timid, even wet himself in fear right then and there!
Finally, following Qiao Jing’s instructions, the NPCs led the men into a confined space.
Hearing the screams resonating from the confined space, Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang exchanged smiles, then arm
in arm, leisurely left the haunted house.
Previously, Lin Xiuxiang had always thought that the girl named Qiao Jing was of a more serious nature, not
expecting her to have such a mischievous side.
This again reminded her involuntarily of Qiao Jing...
