Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Two weeks later, there was still no progress and despite the best efforts of the police, they were still not able to find any useful clues.

The police had even posted details of the missing person online, including her photograph, the clothes she had been wearing, the time that she had gone missing, and so on, and asked the public for information but unfortunately, there was no response.

He Xiyan seemed to have vanished from the earth and from the bustling Ye City.

Her disappearance didn’t affect the city but it meant that her two children had lost their mother.

It was the 5th of April, the traditional tomb-sweeping day. All companies across the nation would break for the holidays and the young men and women who worked elsewhere would return to their hometown to tend to the graves of their loved ones.

A luxury car that was worth at least several million drove into a small city in the south and stopped at a small village on the east.

There were more than 200 families who lived in this village. It wasn’t a remote farming village and it was rather well-developed since almost every family seemed to have built their own houses.

Nonetheless, this was a small village, so people hardly saw luxurious sedans in this part of the village. Thus, this car drew a lot of attention when it entered the village and many villagers pointed at the car as they tried to guess which family had such a rich relative.

The car finally stopped at a two-story building that had been empty for more than a decade. There was also a small hill behind that building.

“The He family?” a middle-aged woman who was planting chili peppers in the distance said as she pointed at the luxurious car. Several other women who were working on the field walked over and this group of women started to gossip as they sat on their farms. This was their favorite activity each day.

“I heard that He Chendong’s family line has ended. According to my nephew, the police have put up missing person posters: He Chendong’s only daughter He Xiyan had gone missing at Ye City. I bet that there’s a high possibility that she’s already dead. Aye, what a pity. This family...” Li Li who was a middle-aged woman around 50 years of age said. She had been rather close to He Xiyan’s mother when she was younger.

The news upset her. Although He Chendong and his wife had been deceased for some time, she felt bad for them at the thought that something terrible might have also befallen their daughter.

“Yes, Madame Li. The He family has been really unlucky. It has only been slightly more than a decade, and now, all three of them have passed on,” another middle-aged woman said with a sigh.

An old man who looked about 60 years of age walked by and pointed at the dilapidated two-story building and said, “I think that there’s something wrong with that building. I have a distant relative who studies the art of fengshui and when he had visited several years ago and passed by this building, he immediately said that this building wasn’t constructed well and that it was a cursed building.”

The old man said with a shake of his head and everyone became very flustered by his words.

“Is that true?” Madame Li asked doubtfully.

The old man said confidently, “If it isn’t true, how could everyone in this family meet an early death? Moreover, He Chendong’s family was struck with bad luck the year this house was built. I think he lost his younger daughter in town and had never been able to find her.”

“Oh yes yes yes...” another middle-aged woman chimed in and said, “I still remember that the He family lost their younger daughter in town not long after they had held their housewarming party. I think her name was Yi Yi.”

“Aye, so this building must be cursed after all.”
