“Aye!”

She heard a sigh and there was movement from a side of the bed.

That person had sat down.

A shadow went over her head

Why couldn’t she open her eyes?

Why couldn’t she move?

Her heart was beating furiously due to fear.

She felt she was going crazy! Why did this happen?

The sudden feeling of being totally helpless finally pushed her to the extreme—

She woke up suddenly! No, it was her brain that was finally conscious.

She knew clearly that she was lying on the bed. She also knew clearly that she just had a dream, in which someone knocked on the door and there was someone beside her, but she could not open her eyes to verify it…

It was a horrible feeling!

Really horrid!

She was unable to control her body at all.

Moreover, she clearly knew what that was. It was sleep paralysis—

It also had a nickname amongst the Chinese as “ghost pressing the bed” or “ghost pressing the body”.

She was as though haunted by her own dream and stuck inside there, unable to get out—

The agonizing feeling tormented her for about two to three minutes when a sharp mobile ringtone was heard.

“Ah!”

Xiang Wan gave a scream, her legs twitched and she sat up from the bed suddenly.

She looked around the dim surrounding with perspiration all over.

Finally, she managed to wake up and she was in her hotel room.

A dream! It was a dream right from the beginning!

She finally realized that, ever since Bai Muchuan left, she did not wake up at all until now. Yet her mind had actively dreamt a series of actions that she would do when she woke up.

Huff! Xiang Wan wiped the perspiration on her head, turned to look at her mobile phone and picked it up.

The call that woke her up was real.

“h.e.l.lo, Captain Quan—”

“Why didn’t you respond to my messages?” Quan Shaoteng’s tone was more serious than usual.

“My apologies…” Xiang Wan noticed something amiss, she apologized to him politely and earnestly. “I slept like a log.”

“Mm! I decided to go out for a while. You stay in the hotel and don’t go anywhere, alright? I just talked to the manager of the hotel, if you need something to eat, you can look for him. I’ve sent his contact details to your mobile phone. You take a look.”

Go out for a while?

Xiang Wan did not pay attention to his arrangement but only caught this point.

“Where do you want to go? What happened?”

Before Bai Muchuan left Nanmu, Xiang Wan knew a little about their arrangement.

Quan Shaoteng stayed in the hotel not only to protect her, as well as serving as the backup and provide support to Bai Muchuan.

Now that Quan Shaoteng needed to leave the hotel, does that mean—

Xiang Wan felt a chill in her heart. She was worried about Bai Muchuan.

Quan Shaoteng detected her emotions and his tone sounded slightly hesitant.

“It’s no big deal. Captain Zhang seemed to have brought people over for the arrest. But there are many members of the Dark Clan so we need more manpower. I’m just there to help out! I’m bored staying in the hotel anyway…”

“Captain Quan!” Xiang Wan interrupted him, “Little Bai… is he really alright?”

“Hahaha, just be rest a.s.sured. If Little Bai’s in trouble, then everyone in the world would be in trouble.” Quan Shaoteng’s laughter sounded cheerful.

His words originated from his trust in Bai Muchuan. Thus, he was not lying. And so, there was no flaw in his tone.

Xiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief.

At the very least, Bai Muchuan was safe for now.

“Please be safe too!”

After that, she added another sentence.

“If you see Little Bai, please tell him to send me a message that he’s safe and sound when he’s convenient!”

“Got it!” Quan Shaoteng was prepared to hang up. “Don’t worry about him. As long as you’re safe, he’ll be fine. So, you must remember: do not leave the hotel. As long as you stay in this hotel, you’re safe!”

“Alright!”

Bai Muchuan had told her that repeatedly as well.

Unless she was a fool. Otherwise, why would she leave the hotel?

…

Xiang Wan hang up the call and checked out the messages that Quan Shaoteng had sent.

She was hungry and wanted to eat something. Hence, she wanted to get the contact number of the manager.

In the end, she noticed a few unread messages.

Besides Quan Shaoteng, there was also one message from Fang Yuanyuan.”

“My dear cousin, I’m here in Xi City now. Wow, the weather here is really nice~”

The message content was exactly the same as her earlier dream! Xiang Wan was so appalled that her hair stood on end.

Her blood seemed to have frozen at that instant.

So it was not a dream?

She did receive the message earlier?

But she did not reply to the message—

Huff! She must have seen that when she was half-awake but dreamt that she replied Yuanyuan.

Xiang Wan knocked her head. She really could not recall that detail.

The message was sent by Fang Yuanyuan at around 10:30 a.m.

The time then was already half past twelve.

Drinking is a bad thing, drinking is a bad thing!

Xiang Wan laid flat on the bed and quickly replied Fang Yuanyuan.

“Babe, I was sleeping earlier and thought that I’ve replied your message already! My bad!”

“Where are you now? Are you outside sightseeing? Did you go to the food street at Xi City that I mentioned before?”

She sent two messages consecutively.

Xiang Wan also checked if there were any messages that she missed.

For a while, she did not receive any reply from Fang Yuanyuan.

This woman, is she enjoying so much that she didn’t check her phone?

Xiang Wan yawned and put down her phone. She felt her body weak and had no energy.

She felt uncomfortable.

When one slept too much, it was worse than staying up overnight—

She got off the bed and pulled back the curtains and squinted her eyes for a view outside before shuffling with her slippers to the bathroom to wash up.

In front of the basin, she looked at her pale face in the mirror. Xiang Wan thought of the dream she had earlier and suddenly felt a little alarmed.

… What has been done has not been done at all.

… But when she wanted to wash up, she suddenly had a strong sense of familiarity.

… The trance-like feeling made one feel heavy at the head and light at the feet.

… Dreams are really a magical existence.

Knock! Knock!

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Xiang Wan hesitated for a moment and listened attentively.

Until the knocking sound was heard for the second time, she was sure that she did not hear wrongly and was not dreaming.

She quickly finished brus.h.i.+ng her teeth, gargled her mouth then walked to the door, just like her dream.

“Who’s that?”

It should not be the hotel manager as she checked the messages that they were still unread.

“It’s me!”

A familiar voice blew away the fear that had stirred in her.

“Coming!” Xiang Wan took a peek outside from the peephole.

Xie Wanwan was wearing a mask, as usual. She was indeed the one outside her door.

“You need not go for any shooting today?”

Xiang Wan asked with a smile and opened the door for her.

“Come in!”

Like a gust of cold breeze, Xie Wanwan came in with a gloomy look.

“What happened?” Xiang Wan took a look at her and was shocked.

The woman before her had baggy eyes, as though she did not sleep a wink last night.

Even though she had worn a black mask over her face, Xiang Wan could tell that Xie Wanwan’s state of mind was not good.

“Do you know that Little Bai is in trouble?” Xie Wanwan stared at her.

That gaze felt severe and cold.

That expression of hers was really scary as though she was here mourning for someone.

Xiang Wan’s initial confidence in Bai Muchuan instantly became a deflated balloon.

“How did you know about this?” Xiang Wan stared at Xie Wanwan.

She was a very logical person. Even though she was worried, she did not lose control of herself.
