In front of the Gu family's gate, the bloodstains that had not yet been cleaned up were particularly glaring in the sunlight, and the cordon was like a cold snake track, keeping all vehicles out.

The pond is also surrounded by a cordon. Police officers are conducting a meticulous on-site investigation. The atmosphere is solemn and depressing.

Ling Chong parked the car on the roadside outside the gate.

"Sir, the car can't drive in."

He pushed Li Shenzhi out of the car, pushed his wheelchair to the front door, and pressed the doorbell.

Soon, Butler Zhao hurried over after hearing the news.

He glanced at the people outside the door, especially Li Shenzhi, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a stern face, and looked embarrassed.

"I'm sure you all have seen the news. Something happened at home last night. It's really inconvenient to entertain guests today. How about you come another day?"

After a pause, he added: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely help you--"

"Open the door." Li Shenzhi interrupted him.

The word "brief" does not contain any emotional fluctuations, but it has a majesty that cannot be disobeyed.

Butler Zhao's face changed slightly, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he could only sigh heavily and opened the door silently.

In the yard, Gu Lanshan was watching a movie on a tablet in the sun.

The golden sunlight cast a golden outline on her focused and tense figure.

The images on the tablet attracted her attention like a magnet, completely immersing her in another creepy world.

Her body was as tense as an arrow about to leave a bow, and every subtle movement revealed her extreme inner anxiety.

The little face lost its color due to fear, as pale as snow in winter, and the facial muscles were stiff due to tension.

Zi Su couldn't help but feel a little curious. What was this little girl looking at?

She walked forward slowly, trying to make each step as light as possible, for fear of disturbing the fragile and tense silence.

When she finally got closer and leaned close to Gu Lanshan, the horrifying scene on the screen and Gu Lanshan's nervous expression intertwined to form a heart-pounding picture.

"Yo, watching a horror movie, little girl."

Zi Su's voice suddenly sounded. Although she tried to remain gentle, it was like a thunderclap that instantly exploded on Gu Lanshan's tense nerves.

"what--!"

Gu Lanshan suddenly screamed, her voice full of fear and helplessness.

Her hands trembled violently and the tablet was almost thrown out by her. Fortunately, Zi Su was quick to catch it.

Looking at Gu Lanshan again, her eyes, wide open with fear, were filled with terror and panic, as if she had really seen something terrible.

Seeing this, Zi Su quickly reached out to comfort her, her voice full of self-blame, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a movie."

It took Gu Lanshan a while to come back to her senses from her fear and she turned around to look at her.

"Miss Zi, Miss Zi?"

"It's me. Sorry for scaring you."

Gu Lanshan shook her head in shock, "It's okay, this is my first time watching a horror movie, I'm not used to it yet, I guess I need to watch more in the future."

She turned her gaze towards the people not far away and took the initiative to greet them.

"My sister is busy upstairs. Please wait a moment. I'll go upstairs to call her."

After saying that, she turned off the tablet and hurried into the house.

Met Aunt Wang in the living room.

"Auntie Wang, Mr. Li and his friends are here. Please pour them some water. I'll go upstairs and call my sister."

"it is good."

Standing in front of the access control panel on the fifth floor, Gu Lanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the fear she had just felt.

The doorbell rings.

In the study, Gu Ranle was leaning on a chair drinking water. Hearing the sound, he glanced at the surveillance screen above his head, reached out and pressed the keyboard in front of him, and the door opened automatically.

"Sis, where are you?"

"study."

The door of the study was half open, letting in a ray of soft light.

Gu Ranle used her signature cool attitude, tilted her head slightly, and said calmly, "Come in."

Gu Lanshan slowly pushed the door open, her steps light but with a hint of hesitation, and first a curious little head popped in.

Although the fifth floor was no longer unfamiliar to her, she had never set foot in the mysterious area of ​​the study.

In the study, the space of approximately 30 square meters is gently embraced by natural light. The north-south transparent design allows light to flow freely, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

Two rows of rosewood bookshelves stand tall, like guardians of time. Every yellowed, old book exudes a faint scent of books, telling stories from the past.

In front of the bookshelf, there is a small rosewood table, on which lies a yellowed medical book, lying upside down.

The lounge chair next to it is leisurely waiting to share some reading time with its owner.

Going deeper, a rosewood desk complements the exquisite hollow screen next to it, and the secret of another world seems to be hidden behind the screen.

Gu Lanshan recognized at a glance that this set of rosewood furniture was once the treasure of her uncle's study and was priceless.

Walking around the screen, Gu Lanshan's eyes were instantly shocked by the scene before her, and her mouth involuntarily opened into an "o" shape.

If the front half of the study is retro and elegant, then this corner is the intersection of technology and the future.

A huge desk, like a stage of technology, has eight computers placed in an orderly manner on it. One of them is particularly unique, and the screen looks like two ordinary computers spliced ​​together.

At this point, all eight computers are running.

The widescreen computer in front of me is full of incomprehensible codes.

"Sister, you are awesome!"

Gu Lanshan's eyes sparkled with infinite admiration for Gu Ranle.

Her sister really refreshes her understanding of her time and time again.

"Sister, can you teach me about computers?"

Gu Ranle smiled gently, with a barely perceptible hint of doting in her tone.

"Why, are you planning to give up studying medicine and study computer science instead?"

Gu Lanshan quickly shook her head, fearing that Gu Ranle would misunderstand that she was going to give up her dream of medicine.

"I haven't given up studying medicine. I just want to learn some computer technology. Sister, you are so amazing. I want to follow you--"

"Just focus on studying medicine." Gu Ranle interrupted her, her voice concise and powerful, "I only know a little bit, I can't teach you."

"..."

If you only know the basics, I don't know what a master looks like.

If you think I'm stupid and don't want to teach me, just tell me. I have a very strong psychological endurance now.

Gu Lanshan felt a little disappointed and said sullenly, "Sister, Mr. Li is here, downstairs."

Gu Ranle's eyes flickered when he heard this, and then he glanced at her, "You entertain me. If you can help me gain some favorability, I will consider teaching you something."

"Really? That's great!" Gu Lanshan was overjoyed, "Sister, I'll go and improve your favorability right away!"

five minutes later.

A series of "ding dong" sounds exploded in Gu Ranle's mind like firecrackers.

【Favorability +5】

【Favorability +5】

【Favorability +5】

【Favorability +5】

【Favorability +5】

[Host’s current favorability: -35%]

【Favorability +5】

[Host’s current favorability: -30%]

"..."

Wow, this is the real so-called "brushing"!

So cool!

Indeed, as long as you open your mind, all worries and sorrows will go away.
