Chapter 710
Putting down the greeting card, Chen Ge picked up the key from the table and studied it quietly . After his parents disappeared, the visitors that came to the Haunted House gradually dwindled, causing the Haunted House to face the threat of closing down . At that extremely dangerous time, Xu Wan had chosen to stay behind . She was the only employee who was recruited by Chen Ge's parents and chose to remain until the end .
"Is it possible that the girl has sensed something?" Chen Ge put the key away and opened the cake box . Compared to the box that it came in, the cake inside could only be described as an unmitigated disaster . The middle part was sinking, and there were black spots from leaving it in the oven for too long . The whole thing looked so wobbly that it might crumble with a touch .
But one could see how attentive the baker was . She used cream to evenly slather the cake's surface to try to cover up the flaws . During this process, the cake probably crumbled once, so the cream acted as both the decoration and the glue holding the whole thing together . It seeped deep into the cake . Just looking at this cake, the image of Xu Wan baking it appeared in Chen Ge's mind .
"No wonder she is my employee . Even baking a cake can be made into such a horrifying experience . " Picking up the knife inside the box, Chen Ge cut out a small piece and took a bite . "Hmm, the texture is horrendous, too hard on the outside, and the inside appears to be undercooked . It sticks to the teeth, and it's so oily . As I suspected, this would benefit from a longer time in the oven with a lower temperature so that the outside wouldn't be charred, and the inside would be cooked . Wait a minute, she used bread flour? Doesn't she know baking a cake requires cake flour‽"
Even though Chen Ge kept criticizing it, he still finished almost half the cake in record time . Seeing how much Chen Ge was enjoying himself, the white cat was curious, but as it poked its head toward the cake, it was shoved back into the backpack . "Cream is not good for you . When it's your birthday, I'll make you a cat food cake instead . "
Ignoring the cat's protest, Chen Ge wiped his lips, lugged the backpack, and left the staff breakroom . The birthday party took up some time, but that did not cut into Chen Ge's plan for the night too much . He had already searched for everything that he could on Left Oculus, and he planned to go take a look that night .
Leaving New Century Park, Chen Ge waited at the roadside for a long time, but no taxi passed . The taxi drivers in Jiujiang seemed to have come to a consensus—do not approach New Century Park after midnight, and do not pick up any passengers from that place .

"Unfortunately, my bus is now stuck behind the door in Li Wan City . "
After walking two more streets, Chen Ge finally encountered a taxi . After he got into the car, he gave the address . "Sir, I want to go to Yong Ling Mountain's bungalow . "
"Yong Ling Mountain?" The driver was briefly confused . "There's a bungalow there?"
"Why don't you open the GPS to take a look?" Chen Ge was not sure either—that was simply what the internet said .
