Gentle Sleep Instructor

Chapter 948 Signature

  Most people were just surprised by the butler's directness, but not very frightened. After all, it wasn't their first mission, and they were well aware of the dangers involved.

  For example, the man in the raincoat looked at the butler and asked in a low voice, "What about those who found the bodies? How did they die?"

  This time, the butler didn't shake his head. A trace of fear appeared in his hollow eyes. "I don't know. The process of discovering the bodies was very strange. Some...some didn't look like human bodies."

  "Didn't look like human bodies..." Everyone couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.

  It was obvious that the butler was very wary of this topic. Soon, he returned to his businesslike attitude and urged, "Alright, everyone, please sign."

  After hearing what the butler said, everyone was reluctant to sign the statement, but they had no choice. It was obviously a necessary part of the mission. The fatty was struggling when the old man to his right gently touched his arm. "Little brother, sign quickly. It can't be avoided." The old man sighed and advised him in the tone of someone who had been there before.

  "I know, thank you." The fatty stopped hesitating and quickly signed his name. He understood the reasoning.

  The old man also signed his name. Then, the butler walked over and took the agreements one by one, carefully looking at each one for a few seconds, as if worried that someone was trying to be sneaky.

  But just as the butler looked at the old man's agreement and was about to put it away, Jiang Cheng suddenly stood up, rushed over, and grabbed the butler's wrist. "Wait!"

  He was so fast that no one reacted. The butler's face immediately darkened, and his eyes bulged outward, gradually filling with blood. But even so, Jiang Cheng didn't let go.

  "What do you want to do?" the butler said slowly, one word at a time.

  "There's something wrong with the old man's agreement. I want him to fill out a new one." Jiang Cheng held the butler's hand, but his eyes were on the old man, filled with murderous intent.

  "I've checked it. There's no problem," the butler said coldly, staring at Jiang Cheng's face.

  "Is your name Wang Fugui?" Jiang Cheng questioned the old man.

  Huai Yi was stunned for a moment, then walked over. He saw clearly that the name Wang Fugui was written on the signature line of the agreement held in the wrist Jiang Cheng had grabbed.

  "Damn it, you old thing, you're cheating!" Huai Yi cursed, pointing at the old man's nose. He was about to teach him a lesson, but the man and woman from the old man's team quickly surrounded him.

  The fatty looked at the old man in disbelief. He wasn't as angry as Jiang Cheng and Huai Yi. Looking at the old man's obscure face, he felt that he was hateful and pitiful.

  Seeing that the situation couldn't be salvaged, the other three people in the other team, except for Jiang Cheng's group, also stared at him coldly. The old man reluctantly took back the agreement, crossed out the three characters Wang Fugui, and filled in his real name: Jiang Zhao.

  From beginning to end, he didn't give the fatty or Jiang Cheng's group an explanation.

  "Sit back down. It's too impolite to fight here," the butler said in a warning tone.

  "Okay."

  Jiang Cheng didn't continue to pester him and pulled Huai Yi back to his seat.

  But this time, the way the two looked at the old man was no longer cold. As Jiang Cheng leaned close to Huai Yi's ear and whispered something, Huai Yi's eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

  The old man frowned slightly, then seemed to realize something, and his heart skipped a beat.

  When the other two members of Jiang Zhao's group handed in their agreements, Huai Yi walked to the butler and spread the agreement openly on the table. Then, in front of everyone, he crossed out the two characters Huai Yi and filled in the two characters Jiang Zhao.

  The two people Jiang Zhao brought were furious when they saw this, especially the tall young man with freckles on his face. He glared at Huai Yi. "You're asking for death!" The young man was Jiang Zhao's apprentice.

  After Huai Yi handed in the agreement, the next one was Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng seemed to be frightened by the young man's momentum and asked with a terrified expression, "May I ask...what is your honorable name?"

  The young man didn't say anything. The three of them had already handed in their agreements. Now they had no bargaining chips in their hands. If his name was also written on it, who knew what would happen.

  Huai Yi got excited when he saw this and slapped the table, asking, "I'm asking you a question. What's your honorable name? Should I write yours, or this old thing's? Pick one." Huai Yi didn't give them any face at all, since they had already fallen out.

  "You..." The young man shouted fiercely, but he didn't dare to tell them his name. Just as he was about to say a few harsh words and then sit down, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

  "Ouyang Huanbin." Jiang Zhao looked at the young man and said earnestly, "Sit down. Let's not hurt the harmony."

  The young man: "???"

  Hearing this, Jiang Cheng smiled and looked at the young man whose face had turned green. "So your name is Ouyang Huanbin." Then, under everyone's gaze, he crossed out his name in the signature position and wrote the two characters Jiang Zhao again.

  "But I still like the name Jiang Zhao." Jiang Cheng shook the agreement in his hand and handed it in.

  The butler didn't seem interested in these disputes. He glanced at Jiang Cheng's agreement and accepted it, putting it with all the previous agreements and carefully packing it in a paper bag.

  After doing all this, the butler looked up at everyone and announced, "From this moment on, you are considered to have successfully checked in here. I hope you can abide by the rules here."

  "During the day, you can move around the manor as you please. You can also leave the manor, but you need to be careful. At night, I suggest you stay in this building and don't go anywhere."

  "One more thing, when it's late and you need to sleep, please return to your own rooms, one person per room." At this point, the butler paused and lowered his voice, "You don't need to worry about whether there are enough rooms. There are plenty of rooms. What you need to do is pay attention when choosing."

  On the way here, Jiang Cheng had observed the building. Judging from the windows on the outside, there were plenty of rooms here, more than enough for the nine of them.

  "Pay attention when choosing..." Someone repeated softly, "What does that mean?"

  The butler shook his head slightly, his expression becoming strange. It was unclear whether he didn't know either, or whether he knew something but didn't want to answer.

  In short, he didn't say another word after that. Carrying everyone's agreements, he left the building. His pace seemed steady and slow, but his speed was extremely fast. Jiang Cheng followed him for a while, wanting to see which road he took and where he ended up, but as soon as the butler went out the door and turned a corner, he disappeared. When Jiang Cheng and the others chased out, the outside was empty. There was no sign of him anywhere.

  "Is this person a human or a ghost?" the slightly chubby girl asked.

  Jiang Cheng's eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of the garden, and he said in a voice that only he could hear, "I don't know now. I'll know tonight."
