Mr. Tycoon's Beloved Wife: The Madam No One Dares to Offend

Chapter 317: A Man Dressed as a Woman

...

It was the first that Hilla went on a road trip. Although she had been driving, she felt relaxed.

She really liked this kind of travel.

Every time she went to a place, she could stop to eat local delicacies, and then stroll around.

This time, they came to an ancient town.

There were more than a hundred households in the town. The houses were all made of bluestone. Otherwise, there were many narrow alleys.

Compared to other ancient buildings, the houses here were much taller.

During the day, the whole town was filled with fog, as if it was in the Immortal Realm.

At night, the ancient town became silent and mysterious.

They did not stay in the town. They slept in the car outside the town.

Hilla and Halle were huddled in a car, and the men were drinking in high spirits.

"Halle, this town seemed to be inauspicious. It is scary."

Hilla flipped through the travel map that Margaret had given her. Every destination on it was marked by Margaret in advance, which meant that these were the places she wanted to go.

When Hilla read the legend of the town, she shivered.

"I think you are scaring yourself. The people living here have lived for hundreds of years. How can it be inauspicious?"

Halle comforted Hilla. But it didn’t work.

Instead, she took out Margaret’s booklet and gave it to Halle.

"I didn’t scare myself. Take a look at this."

This town was called Butterfly Town, and it had more than eight hundred years of history in its construction.

Every household in Butterfly Town would be filled with butterflies every summer.

There were all kinds of flowers and plants around the town. When the flowers bloomed, the whole town would be filled with a fragrance.

Because it attracted butterflies all year round, the town was named Butterfly Town.

However, more than a hundred years ago, the people in the town were conservative. There was a girl who got pregnant. In order to maintain the reputation of the town,

The villagers pushed the girl into a river. After that, more than half of the flowers outside the town died. The flowers that could bloom had no fragrance and no longer were able to attract butterflies.

It became a curse on Butterfly Town. All the girls in town who had yet to get married after twenty years old would mysteriously get pregnant.

Halle listened to Hilla’s introduction of the Butterfly Town and smiled. "This kind of curse is ridiculous. If a twenty-year-old girl is pregnant before getting married, she must have fallen in love. She just wants to threaten her family with that."

Most of the time, the people in the ancient town were conservative and stubborn.

They tried to hide this kind of thing, so they said it was a curse.

After a long time, the people outside the town gradually believed it.

Hilla nodded and said, "These are good. But this..."

Hilla was confused. Why didn’t she look through Margaret’s travel map at the beginning? Why did she come here directly?

When they reached the town, they were out of water and there was not much oil left.

They could only sleep here.

"It is said that when there is a full moon, there will be young women in white walking around the alley. Everyone who met them would have trouble."

Hilla was terrified. How could there be such a baseless legend? Although she told herself that it was fake, she still felt uncomfortable staying outside the town.

Moreover, she found that the moon tonight was round.

Halle frowned slightly. Although she was quite interested in this ancient town, she was worried when she saw Hilla was afraid.

Even though Halle was worried, she did not forget to comfort Hilla. "When did my superwoman become as timid as a mouse? Are you my sister?"

"The superwoman fights with people. I am not afraid of hooligans, but... this is a ghost!"

She was afraid that she could not fall asleep tonight.

"You’re such a brave girl. Don’t be worried about things you can’t see. Don’t worry, Bruce is here. If you see something, hug him."

Halle laughed.

Hearing that, Hilla’s face turned red.

Emily ran over to hug Halle’s thigh and said pitifully, "Emily is sacred, too. Emily wants to stay in Mom’s arms."

She hugged Halle and refused to let go. She was determined to stay by Halle’s side.

Seeing this, Hilla smiled.

"Halle, if you are afraid at night, you can hug Emily and jump into Horton’s arms." Halle wanted to coax Emily to sleep. Hilla’s words made her embarrassed. She retorted, "I am not that timid."

After Halle finished speaking, she carried Emily back to her car, leaving Hilla laughing in the car.

Outside the car, the two men were eating. When they heard the laughter of the girls in the car, they subconsciously turned around and their gazes were full of doting.

After a while, they returned to their own car.

Bruce saw that Hilla was lying on the bed and writing something.

When he went over to take a look, he was stopped by Hilla. He had to clean up first, lock the car, and look at the busy girl in bed.

After Hilla finished writing all the notes, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking at the contents of the notes, she smiled.

She then gave some of them to Bruce, "Put them up. They must be put on the most conspicuous place in the car."

Hilla said seriously, as if she was about to do something big.

Bruce frowned and looked down at the paper in his hand. He saw that a white A4 paper had been evenly cut into pieces.

Hilla wrote spells on each of them.

Bruce thought, "That is what she had done all night?"

Bruce looked at the notes in his hand and smiled helplessly.

He asked, "What are you doing?"

He could not understand.

Hilla shook her head, and then she looked at Bruce and explained to him with the notes in her hand.

"These are used to ward off evil spirits." Young people, you must believe in science!

...

Hilla pasted the notes all over the car. These papers swayed in the car. Bruce felt that he was in a temple.

Hilla curled up in the quilt, looking extremely nervous, as if something dirty was spinning around her.

Bruce stepped forward and threw away the travel map in Hilla’s hand.

Hilla was about to say something when her phone rang. Seeing it was Margaret’s video invitation, Hilla picked it up angrily.

Margaret was smiling and looked at her with a bright gaze.

"How is it? Have you reached Butterfly Town? Have you seen flowers? Are there beautiful butterflies?"

Margaret asked excitedly. Then she seemed to recall something. She became nervous and said, "By the way, that town was said to be haunted. Don’t go out and wander around at night."

Hilla thought, "Thanks to you. I am in danger now."

Seeing that Hilla remained silent with a gloomy face, Margaret continued, "But don’t worry. It’s said that the men have the strongest Yang Qi. Ghosts will come to those strong men like my brother. They won’t be interested in you. You need to stay away from him and don’t let him implicate you."

As soon as Margaret finished speaking, the phone in Hilla’s hand was taken away. The next second, Hilla’s face changed into a man in front of Margret. "What did you say?"

Bruce’s voice was deep and cold. Hearing that, Margaret suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise.

She shouted, "Why is my brother here?"

She thought that Hilla was alone. Therefore, she dared to say that. She didn’t expect that she would be caught by Bruce. Bruce would definitely hold a grudge against her and would not let her go.

Margaret thought, "I am a dead man!"

"Oh my... my head... I feel dizzy. It must be the concussion. What did I say? I can’t remember anything. Oh my god, my sight is blurred. Oh, I have to have a rest now. I can’t chat with you. Bye!"

In the video, Margaret hugged her head and fell on the bed, and then she quickly hung up.

She was so frightened that she hugged the quilt tightly and heaved a sigh of relief.

It was terrible. She was so close to screwing up.

Bruce was a big shot that she could not afford to offend. How could she dare to talk smack about him in front of Hilla?

Margaret touched the bandage on her forehead. She thought, "It must be the concussion. I am stupid."

Hilla took back her phone and looked at Bruce.

"You won’t be angry with Margret, right? You always bullied her when you were a child. That’s why she likes to tease people. She just wants to take advantage of you and take revenge. In fact, Margaret is not a bad girl."

Bruce glanced at Hilla with a smile. The gloom on his face disappeared. He began to tease her in a good mood.

Bruce suddenly approached and pushed Hilla to the bed. He smiled and said, "Why are you helping her?"

"Isn’t she your sister? Love me love my dog!"

Hilla said in a low voice with a blushing face. She rubbed the corner of the quilt embarrassedly and pursed her lips with dissatisfaction.

Bruce lifted Hilla’s chin with his fingers and said playfully,

"She told you to stay away from me tonight."

Hearing this, Hilla hugged Bruce’s neck and moved closer to him.

She said, "No, I want to sleep beside you."

After saying that, she said in a low voice, "I am scared!"

Her words softened Bruce’s heart. When he heard the words ’I am scared’, the man’s indulgence turned into heartache.

Bruce lowered his head and kissed Hilla.

The atmosphere of the car instantly turned to romantic. The strange atmosphere just now dissipated.

Suddenly, a woman screamed out.

Hilla pushed Bruce away subconsciously and opened the curtain to look outside.

Unfortunately, outside the window was dark and she did not see anything.

Following that was another woman’s scream.

This time, Hilla panicked and turned on the lights outside the car.

In the next second, a woman’s face was pasted on the window of the car in front of

her...

...

A woman with loose hair was looking in through the window.

The woman’s expression was panicked as she desperately slapped the glass of the window. She seemed to be shouting something.

Although the limousine was soundproof, the woman’s screams could still be vaguely heard.

It was a strange female face, and her hair covered the facial features of the woman.

Hilla was shocked and subconsciously shrank into Bruce’s embrace.

Hilla wasn’t a timid woman, but she had just finished reading Margaret’s travel introduction tonight, and then she saw a ... ghost?

Hilla couldn’t help but be afraid.

If she had known earlier, she would have done the travel plan by herself and never come to Butterfly Town.

"Save me..."

The woman’s voice could be vaguely heard. Hilla was slightly stunned when she heard it clearly. Bruce didn’t loosen his grip on her wrist.

Although she should go out to check the situation at this time, looking at the woman, Hilla thought that the woman in front of her was not a human being.

She did not want to go out and naturally did not want Bruce to go out.

The woman looked at the window and in the direction of the town.

Seeing that the persons in the car were unwilling to come out, she turned around and began to knock on Halle’s car.

They were fine since they were two adults, but there was a three-year-old girl in Halle’s car.

If a child saw this scene, she would definitely be frightened.

Hilla loosened her grip with difficulty. Sensing the movement of the man beside her, she quickly looked over.

Bruce looked calm, his dark eyes deep and steady, making Hilla, who had been in a panic, calm down.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll go and take a look."

Seeing that Hilla was still staring at him with a worried expression, Bruce smiled and patted her head with his big hand.

"Don’t worry, she’s a human!"

Bruce’s smile and actions with his words completely comforted Hilla.

Only then did Hilla let go of Bruce carefully, biting her lips, "I will go with you."

Regardless of whether it was human or ghost outside, since they were husband and wife, they should face it together.

Bruce was stunned. He had wanted to refuse, but seeing the worried look in Hilla’s eyes, he nodded slightly, "Follow behind me."

"I can protect myself. Maybe I can protect you."

Hilla said stubbornly. She was good at boxing. How could she hide behind the man in a timid manner because she was afraid of ghosts?

Even Bruce couldn’t beat her.

However, Bruce pressed her behind him and opened the door of the limousine.

A cool breeze blew into the car, and the next second, a white shadow pounced towards Bruce.

Hilla was stunned. Before Bruce could react, she subconsciously stretched out her foot behind him.

Then, the white shadow in front of them flew out and directly crashed into the opposite limousine.

The limousine shook, and then the white shadow fell to the ground with a muffled sound. The door opened, and Hilla saw Halle standing at the door with an inexplicable face and said loudly, "Don’t come out!"

Halle was stunned for a moment, and then she saw a white ball beneath her feet.

She didn’t have time to say anything and directly closed the door.

In the limousine.

Holding the sleeping Emily in his arms, Horton asked, "What’s the matter?"

Halle’s expression was calm. She walked to the table, took her cup, and drank some water. Her voice was still gentle.

"It’s nothing. They’re just fighting and throwing something away. Don’t worry about it."

Horton was shocked. Were Bruce and Hilla fighting?

How could Bruce win?

And with Halle’s personality, how could she be so calm if the two people in the opposite limousine were fighting?

Even if Hilla wouldn’t suffer a loss, Halle wouldn’t be so calm.

Now that Halle had said that, he naturally would not say anything else.

After all, if he argued with his wife about something that she didn’t want him to know, he would only make Halle unhappy and not get any benefits.

Seeing that Horton did not ask further, Halle was relieved and took off her coat, and went to the bed.

Horton had just put down Emily in his arms. When he turned around and saw such an attractive scene in front of him, he suddenly felt suffocated. He quickly turned his back to lie down and wrapped himself in the quilt to hide in the bed.

The scene kept flashing back in his mind. Horton closed his eyes and seriously reviewed the handbook for clinical doctors in his mind for the whole night.

Outside of the car!

Hilla’s kick was very fast and accurate, hitting the abdomen of the white shadow. Even Bruce felt pain when he saw the figure trembling on the ground a few times and not getting up.

He forgot that his wife never needed him to personally make a move.

Not only could she protect herself, but she could also protect him.

He married such a worry-free wife!

The white shadow on the ground finally propped up half of her body, but long hair covered her face, and the woman slightly extended a hand towards them.

Her voice was miserable. "Help ... Help!"

After saying that, she fell to the ground and fainted.

"It’s a human!"

Bruce confirmed again.

This time, even without his explanation, Hilla knew that she had kicked the wrong person.

She finally didn’t have to be afraid of the ghost knocking on her limousine’s window at midnight, because this ghost had been kicked half to death by her.

"Take her into the car."

Hilla pushed Bruce out of the room, completely different from when she was holding onto Bruce’s clothes and not allowing him to take a step forward.

Bruce went forward to pick up the person on the ground, but the long hair that covered the woman’s head fell down.

Hilla and Bruce were both stunned.

The two of them looked at the scene in front of them awkwardly. The female ghost, who had just scared them, suddenly turned bald.

And the gender also changed.

The ghost was a man dressed as a woman.

Bruce furrowed his brows. He stared at the white figure on the ground for a long

time, but he could not make a move.

Seeing this, Hilla could only probe, "It doesn’t matter if he is a man or a woman. We were the ones who injured him. We can’t just leave him here and not care about him!"

Although the weather was not cold now, it was indeed very inhumane to beat someone up and place him in the wild for a night.

It was not in line with the ideology of righteousness, kindness, and justice.

Bruce raised his head and gave Hilla a look, "You’re the one who kicked him unconscious. I did nothing. What if he was a pervert?"

This kind of man looked abnormal.

Bruce was obviously unwilling to save him, so Hilla had no choice but to say anxiously, "If he dies, I’ll be the murderer."

When Bruce heard this, he immediately picked him up, took two steps, and directly stepped into the limousine.

The inside of the limousine quickly returned to silence. Hilla took a closer look. His white clothes were actually a tattered white mosquito net.

Hilla thought, "I didn’t really save a lunatic, did I?"
