Uncle Zhang was patrolling around with the bodyguards, and when he heard Ye Chen’s voice, he immediately trotted over in nervousness: “Keep it down, Little Ye, keep it down, the master said that he can’t be disturbed!”
“Look at the time, why haven’t they come down yet?” Ye Chen asked.
Uncle Zhang looked at his watch and said to Ye Chen: “The master said that he would be done at around eight o’clock, but he did not say it must be that time. It is normal for this kind of thing to get done earlier or later than expected.”
Ye Chen looked at the dormitory with a frown. He turned back to Ji Mingxia and said, “Mingxia, is this normal?”
“Uh ……” Ji Mingxia did not expect Ye Chen to suddenly ask him. He looked full of worry so Ji Mingxia could only say, “Wait a little, let me consult my friend?”
Ji Mingxia also looked back at the dormitory building and a bad feeling gradually rose in his heart. He hurriedly took out his phone and opened WeChat with the intention of asking Yu Ning what to do.
Their chat page was still marked an hour ago. That was when he had just got out of Ye Chen’s car and informed Yu Ning that he had arrived at the destination.
Yu Ning had not replied to him and Ji Mingxia didn’t mind, after all, it was not a question.
It was only when he opened the page again that he discovered why Yu Ning hadn’t replied to him. The message he had typed out an hour ago hadn’t been sent out!
Ji Mingxia was shocked and quickly typed another message, but it was still not sent successfully.
He went back to the home page of his phone and checked the network. He found that his phone was disconnected.
“My phone has no signal.” Ji Mingxia said.
Uncle Zhang and Ye Chen looked at Ji Mingxia in surprise. The two were stunned before quickly understanding Ji Mingxia’s subtext.
Ye Chen quickly took out his phone, and sure enough, he found that his phone had also lost signal.
He looked at Uncle Zhang who also found his phone abnormal. Seeing Ye Chen staring at him, Uncle Zhang hurriedly said, “It’s not me, we didn’t have to block the signal ah!”
“I sent a message when I got out of the car, and it wasn’t sent, which means that the entire doctoral dormitory area has no signal.” Ji Mingxia said.
This wasn’t the first time Ji Mingxia had experienced such an issue.
And every time it occured, it was accompanied by the appearance of mysterious items and supernatural events.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia looked at the dormitory building that was dead silent.
Ye Chen also thought of something and his face changed slightly: “They are still up there ……”
With that, he was ready to go upstairs.
Uncle Zhang saw this and quickly stopped him: “Little Ye! Sir and madam instructed me not to let you go up!”
Anger surfaced on Ye Chen’s face and he roared, “Look at the time, you still want to stop me?!”
“But…”
“If that Hong Kong master is reliable, why is there no movement until now? Ye Tian is still sleeping, and Mom and Dad are old, in case something really happens…” Ye Chen said angrily.
Ji Mingxia saw Ye Chen and Uncle Zhang arguing so he hurriedly advised: “How about we leave here, find a place with a signal and call the police?”
The first time he encountered no cell phone signal was in extreme circumstances that prevented him from seeking help from the police.
But this time was different.
Although there was no signal in the dormitory building, they had a car. As long as they drove towards the southern district, they would always find a signal.
Although ghosts are powerful, they usually don’t come out when there are many people, not to mention that the police are righteous so they would certainly solve the problem.
Ji Mingxia felt that this was a good solution, however, as soon as his words fell, he was met with strong opposition from Uncle Zhang.
“No, you can’t call the police!” Uncle Zhang shouted, “Madam and sir also instructed that no matter what happens, the police must not be called. Miss has already been on the forum today, if something else happens, the whole Ye family would live on the hot search!”
Ye Chen said with incredulity, “How can you be worried about the hot search at a time like this?”
Uncle Zhang saw that Ye Chen was really angry so he gritted his teeth and made a compromise. “Okay, you guys should wait for me here. I’ll go with someone to take a look, if there’s no problem, I will come back immediately.”
Uncle Zhang was afraid that Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen would change their minds and immediately called two bodyguards over.
If he could call the police, Ye Chen would have already done that.
But there was no signal in this area, and if he wanted to call the police, he would have to leave the Northern area.
His parents and sister were all in the dormitory building and he was very anxious. He finally agreed with Uncle Zhang’s preposition on seeing him call two sturdy bodyguards to go check on the situation.
“I’ll wait for half an hour.” Ye Chen said.
“There will be no problem, don’t worry.” Uncle Zhang nodded and led the two bodyguards towards the dormitory door.
The sound of the door lock being opened was particularly loud in the silence of the night.
The dormitory door was opened, revealing the dark entrance inside. Uncle Zhang and the two bodyguards entered with flashlights, and their figures were quickly swallowed by the darkness.
With the door closing with a click, the surrounding area once again returned to silence.
Uncle Zhang and the bodyguards walking back and forth made the place a little lively. But once he and the two bodyguards left, only four people remained in the small courtyard and the place looked even more deserted.
Ye Chen wanted to chat with Ji Mingxia to ease the stiff atmosphere, but both of them were concerned about the situation in the dormitory, and no longer had the heart to chat.
After a long wait, twenty minutes finally passed.
Ye Chen gradually lost his patience and couldn’t sit still.
“How about I keep watch here and you drive out of the area to find a place with a signal and call the police?” Ji Mingxia proposed.
Ye Chen was just about to answer him when a scream suddenly came from inside the dormitory building!
Ye Chen abruptly stood up from his chair and stared at the dormitory building.
The scream was not loud, and it sounded desperate. It was only for a short moment before it disappeared almost instantly. If everyone hadn’t heard it, they might have thought it was an illusion.
Ji Mingxia’s ears were sensitive and he carefully distinguished whose voice it was. “It was a young man’s voice ……it should be one of the bodyguards.”
Ye Chen said, “These bodyguards were special personnel my parents hired from abroad at a high price. Especially the two who just went in, they crawled out from a pile of dead people…”
In other words, they had seen big winds and strong waves, they would never scream if whatever they saw was not extremely frightening!
