Xue Lin went back home without any idea of the impending danger coming to her life. She dragged her exhausted body to the living room and found Ge Chen watching television. "Welcome home, my wife." He greeted her warmly.
"Iâm home, my husband." Xue Lin smiled at him.
"Iâm going to have some ice cream. Do you want some?" he asked. It would be wonderful to eat ice cream and watch a movie together.
Xue Linâs eyes glittered. "Iâd love to! Wait, give me ten minutes and Iâll bath first." Before her husband could say anything, she ran upstairs. She seemed very punctual. She came wearing pink cotton pajamas within ten minutes. Her hair was still wet.
âShe must have bathed in five minutes.â Ge Chen thought. He asked, "Do you want me to dry your hair?"
"No, I want it like that. Itâll help me to cool my head." Xue Lin sat beside him and relaxed her body as she leaned against the couch.
Ge Chenâs eyes traveled over her body and rested on her chest. He suddenly recalled that her sixth sense was sharper than an eagle. Before she could feel self-conscious, he quickly diverted his eyes and looked at the television screen. "Do you want to watch something?"
"What do you have?" Xue Lin asked.
Ge Chen suggested, "Would you like something romantic-"
He couldnât finish his sentence before Xue Lin interrupted him. "No! Donât be so boring. Letâs watch something exciting. It could be an action movie or horror."
âBoring...â Ge Chen didnât know what to say. He thought he could build a romantic environment and then hug her close... âBut if we watch horror movies, doesnât it work the same way? She will cling onto me...â He started to daydreaming when his wife clapped in front of his face. She asked, "My husband, are you tired? I donât think itâs time to be in a daze. Were you daydreaming something weird? Your expression..."
"Itâs nothing. I was thinking about whether we should watch horror movies.�� Ge Chen hurriedly said.
Xue Lin never saw him talking so quickly. She narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously. Ge Chen innocently asked, "My wife?" Only then Xue Lin nodded. "Sure."
After they started watching, the Head Butler Ru Shan served the ice cream. When the exciting moment came, Xue Linâs eyes were glued to the screen. No matter how scary the ghost was, no matter how frightening the ghostâs action was, Xue Lin didnât budge. Her hand subconsciously moved and she ate the ice cream.
Ge Chenâs daydream was destroyed and crashed to the ground by Xue Linâs heroic deed.
When the movie ended, Xue Lin said, "The makeup of the antagonist (the ghost) was really good. I need to watch on YouTube how did they manage to makeover something so good."
"Are you not afraid of ghosts?" Ge Chen asked.
Xue Lin blinked. "Thatâs not real, why should I be afraid? But if it was real and I was in it, I wouldnât even enter that house and stay in the car for the night. Do you think Iâm stupid enough to seek adventure in a haunted house? Just look at the house, itâs clearly saying that "Iâm a haunted house. Come and get me." Donât you feel the same?"
"You are right about that, my wife." Ge Chen smiled. âMaybe next time, Iâll make her drunk and then watch a horror film.â He thought.
They went to bed and fell asleep quickly. Xue Lin was dead tired and she didnât have the energy to stay awake. Ge Chen woke up in the middle of the night because his cell phone vibrated. He opened his eyes and looked at the screen. He soundlessly got out of the room and answered the call. "What is it?"
The subordinate reported, "Boss, I think I found Dr. Lu Feng."
Ge Chen lifted an eyebrow. "You think? Go on."
He sounded calm and that gave his subordinate some courage. He said, "Boss please believe me Iâm not delusional nor am I drunk. I tracked Dr. Lu Feng with the capsule inside his body and I tracked him around the Bermuda Triangle. There was no signal at first but the moment the red signal showed up, it was going to the direction of Cuba. If my judgment isnât wrong then Dr. Lu Feng came out of the Bermuda Triangle." The more he talked about it, the more excited he became.
Ge Chen was leaning against the wall but hearing his subordinateâs words he straightened up. He went downstairs to his study room. He asked carefully, "Do you know what you are saying? Itâs the Bermuda Triangle you are talking about."
"I know, boss. Thatâs why I told you Iâm not hallucinating; Iâm not drunk either." The subordinate firmly said.
"Have you recorded his movement?" Ge Chen asked. He turned on the laptop at the same time.
The subordinate replied positively, "Yes, I did."
"Send me a copy." Ge Chen said. "Wait, make ten copies first and save them to different pen drives first."
"Okay, boss, give me a few seconds." The subordinate said and Ge Chen hung up saying, "Good work."
