Although the lights were very dim at that time, Chi Jiao could still roughly see the shadow’s appearance.
It looked like something condensed from black smoke. It had the shape of a human, but the face could not be seen clearly. The body was as tall as a mountain.
Quan Jue thought Chi Jiao was afraid. He reached out and gently patted her back. “Don’t think about it anymore. Leave the rest to me.”
As he spoke, there was a cold glint in his eyes.
The great atmosphere was ruined by that damned shadow.
This was indeed infuriating.
Regardless of whether the black shadow was a human or a ghost, he had to find out who it was.
Very soon, the person in charge of the haunted house arrived.
It was a plump middle-aged man.
“This is our haunted house’s manager, Manager Ma.” Xiao Chen led the fat man to Chi Jiao and Quan Jue and introduced them.
Manager Ma quickly sized up Quan Jue and Chi Jiao. Seeing that they were not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Guests, I’m very sorry that such an accident happened.” Manager Ma spoke articulately in an official tone. “Are you two alright?”
Quan Jue smiled faintly. “We’re not.”
Chi Jiao glanced at him. She could feel the oppressive aura exuding from his body, so she kept quiet.
—Okay, if the boyfriend says something is wrong, then there’s something wrong.
Manager Ma’s expression stiffened. “Are you injured anywhere?”
“My girlfriend is in shock.” Quan Jue’s voice was cold and his body emitted a cold aura. It turned into an invisible pressure that held Manager Ma down. “You don’t have to think about settling this privately. Call the police.”
Manager Ma, whose thoughts had been exposed by Quan Jue, could not help but break out in cold sweat. He looked at him with a gaze that was no longer as casual as before.
This young man had a deep temperament despite his young age.
He didn’t seem kind.
Manager Ma did not dare underestimate Quan Jue. He bent down slightly and said to him with a smile, “I’ve already sent someone to investigate the surveillance cameras before we came here. Our haunted house has only three entrances and exits, and there are surveillance cameras at every one of them. We’ll definitely be able to find the person who attacked you. After we find them, we’ll send them to the police station.”
He didn’t want to call the police now and have them come down here.
The arrival of the police cars would definitely attract the attention of other visitors and affect their haunted house’s business.
“I’ll give you ten minutes. If you can’t catch the murderer, just wait to close down your business,” Quan Jue said nonchalantly.
Chi Jiao, who had been quiet and obedient all this while, looked up at Manager Ma with a faint smile on her lips.
If she was right, the workers at the haunted house would not be able to catch the culprit.
Manager Ma’s shoulders trembled slightly at Quan Jue’s words.
He did not think that this young man was joking with him.
After waiting for about five minutes, a female staff member pushed open the door and walked into the office.
Her face was ghastly pale as if she had just experienced a great calamity.
“Huang Ye, how is it?” Manager Ma asked the female staff.
Huang Ye walked to him and whispered in his ear.
After hearing what she said, Manager Ma’s face paled. “Are you telling the truth? You couldn’t find anyone suspicious entering the haunted house?”
