“Stop crying.” Tang Li shouted impatiently, and the few of them instantly stopped crying.
“I’ll give you all a chance. As long as you honestly answer my question, I will let you go.”
“Alright, alright, we’ll answer whatever you ask.”
“Right, right, right. As long as you let us go, we will tell you everything.”
Satisfied, Tang Li asked, “You’ve been living in this area for a long time. Have you heard of anything strange or supernatural happening nearby?”
The hooligans were stunned at first, then looked at each other. After a while, one of the hooligans said with trembling lips, “Yes, I have!”
Then, he quickly asked, “If we tell you, will you let us go?”
Tang Li stood up and looked down at them. “That will depend on whether you guys are honest or not.”
“We’ll be absolutely honest.”
“If we are not honest, we’ll be struck by lightning.”
Tang Li placed her hands behind her back and swiped her fingers through the air. Then, a roaring thunder was heard.
The few hooligans were instantly shocked.
The corners of Tang Li’s lips curled up. “Look, the heavens are responding to you. If you spout nonsense, you will be struck by lightning.”
They did not dare to have any other thoughts.
One of the hooligans quickly said, “The antique street used to be a cemetery. I heard from my grandfather that this place was often haunted in the past.”
Another person quickly added, “After the antique street opened, the bosses collectively paid an expert to dispel the ghosts. After that, it is no longer haunted again. However, every day at 9: 30 pm, all the shops and stalls will immediately close because that expert asked them to do so.”
“Also, I wonder if you saw a notice pasted on the noticeboard at the entrance when you entered the antique street. It’s said that it’s best not to enter the antique street after nine o’clock at night.”
“I heard that after ten pm, this place will become a ghost market, and many ghosts will come out to make deals.”

The more they spoke, the more terrified they became. It was as if they had seen these things with their own eyes.
Tang Li, on the other hand, frowned and said unhappily, “Do you think I’m easy to fool? There are no ghosts in this world, let alone a ghost market! If there really is a ghost market here, would anyone dare to come here during the day?”
“We’re telling the truth!”
“You’ve seen one before?”
“Well…”
They only heard rumors about ghosts, but they never saw one with their own eyes.
Tang Li glanced at them. As they trembled, she asked, “Other than this rumor, what else is there?”
The few of them really did not know why Tang Li was asking this, especially since she would not believe them even if they told her. They looked at each other and thought that she would not believe them even if they told her, so they told her everything they knew.
“There are ten largest antique stores on the antique street. Among them, Li Corporation’s antique store was visited by a ghost not long ago. I heard that many of the antiques in their store will be repositioned every night, but they didn’t lose a single antique.”
“And there is something weird happening to the Zhang antique shop too. From last month onwards, be it the boss’s family or the workers hired by the shop, they were all very unlucky. It was as if they were possessed by bad luck. They either got hit by a car or got sick and hospitalized for no reason. Because of this matter, the Zhang antique shop hasn’t been open for business for nearly a month.”
“Also, the boss of Huang’s Antiques Shop has two German shepherds in the backyard. Every day at 8: 30 pm, they will start to bark and will bark for the entire night. What is weird is that when the staff checked the surveillance camera, they found that the dogs were barking at nothing.”
“And…”
Tang Li listened attentively. Xue Enyang, who was eavesdropping at a corner a little further away, said. “Is Fourth Aunt… Is she listening to them tell stories?”
He then looked at Qi Yihan with a complicated expression, wanting to see if he was angry or something.
Qi Yihan’s expression was cold as usual, as if he was just here to see what Tang Li was doing.
This made Xue Enyang feel strange for some reason. He called out, “Fourth Uncle.”
Qi Yihan looked at him coldly.
Xue Enyang wanted to ask if they should go over, but he could not bring himself to ask.
“Nothing. I’m just a little surprised that Fourth Aunt knows martial arts.”
He had always thought that Tang Li was a spoiled, unreasonable, and evil woman who would only cause trouble for Fourth Uncle.
When he saw her knock down a few hooligans, he was really shocked, standing there in admiration.
Seeing Qi Yihan remain silent all the time, Xue Enyang lost his patience after a while and said, “I wonder why Fourth Aunt asked them about these things? Even an idiot knows that there are no ghosts in this world. Those things are all lies.”
At this point, Xue Enyang felt Fourth Uncle looking at him. He quickly shut up and looked at Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan said to him, “You can go back to work.”
“What?” Xue Enyang subconsciously asked, “What about you, Fourth Uncle?”
Although Qi Yihan didn’t say anything, his sharp eyes were enough to convey what he wanted to say. Xue Enyang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly added. “Alright, I’ll go back to work immediately.”
With that, he left.
Tang Li was still listening to the hooligans talk about what happened on this street with great interest when she heard the sound of leather shoes approaching her.
She quickly turned around.
When she saw Qi Yihan walking towards her, she was a little dumbfounded and surprised.
“Hubby, why are you here?”
Qi Yihan threw a look at the few hooligans who were curled up on the ground. His sharp gaze was like an iceberg, and the few hooligans instantly felt their bodies turn cold, thinking to themselves, “Isn’t he, Isn’t he the legendary Fourth Master? And did she just call him… H… Hubby?”
They were all terribly shocked to the point that they rolled their eyes and fainted.

Tang Li was speechless.
“What are you doing here?” Qi Yihan’s gaze returned to Tang Li and he frowned.
Tang Li thought that he was questioning why she came out before he returned. Her eyes darted around and she said with a smile, “I’m here to buy a gift.”
After saying that, she pointed to a few antiques boxes beside her. “Well, I just bought them and wanted to go back, but I was stopped by a few hooligans. They wanted to rob me of my money.”
Qi Yihan looked at the hooligans coldly and said with a straight face, “Since you know they’re following you, why did you come to such a desolate place?”
“Because I panicked and lost my way,” Tang Li said matter-of-factly. Then, she walked over and picked up the boxes. She walked up to him and asked, “When did you come back?”
Qi Yihan looked at her sparkling eyes and was silent for two seconds before replying, “Today.”
Tang Li nodded and was about to walk away. “Then I’ll go back. You can do whatever you want. Also… I didn’t use your money.”
Looking at her as she went away, Qi Yihan pursed lips.. For some reason, he found the last sentence she said especially unpleasant to the ear.
