Five, four,

three, two, one.

I'm coming for you, Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai.

I know you're here.

(Haunted House for Sale)

(Episode 6: Pregnant Ghost Lady)

An Qi.

I can't take it anymore.

Want some water?

Yes.

Thanks.

I'm beat.

Thank you.

When you get off work,

come jog with me if you have nothing to do.

You have to exercise...

to strengthen your immunity.

An Qi, you're amazing.

You've been attending...

the luxury homes elite training course all day.

You still have the energy to jog?

Aren't you tired?

I am.

But I like this feeling of being wound up.

It makes me feel alive.

By the way,

I heard from my mom...

that you take sleeping pills to fall asleep.

I'll teach you...

how to press your acupoints.

My dad taught me.

You'll sleep so well after.

The first one is on your tragus.

Here.

Rub it for five minutes.

It feels so good.

The second one.

The Shenmen acupoint.

When you clench your fist, there's a line here.

Press in the middle of the line and rotate your fist.

Gosh, it feels so good.

The third one.

There's a line here at the end.

Put your pinky down.

That's the Neiguan acupoint. Press it.

Five minutes too.

I feel like sleeping right now.

Come on. Let's run three more laps.

- What? - Are you here to run too?

Go ahead.

Yes.

I haven't seen you before.

Hello, I'm the manager of the night running club in this area.

My name is Ouyang Zhi Yun.

This is my wife.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm an agent of Cheers Realty.

If you need to buy or sell a house in the future,

feel free to contact me.

I'm Xiao You, her assistant.

You work with stigmatized properties?

That's so unique.

Yes, that's the company's new project.

I'm in charge of it.

Nice to meet you.

Join our night running club next time.

See you next time.

Bye.

Let's go.

Time to run.

An Qi, someone is setting off firecrackers.

Can we go home now?

No.

Mom, I'm home.

You're home.

Mom, what happened to you?

I'm fine.

Well, I made rose chicken soup.

There's snow fungus and ginkgo nuts.

It's good for the skin.

Let's drink it together later.

Snow fungus is rich in collagen.

I know.

Why do you look like that?

What happened to you?

I'm fine.

I was just bored being home alone.

You're too busy...

to spend time with me.

So I went to get a facelift.

With the new facelift technology,

the incision is pretty small.

The doctor said I'll fully recover in two months.

A facelift?

I...

Where did you get the money?

I was about to tell you...

but you said you didn't have time to drink papaya milk with me.

So I used the supplementary credit card...

you just got me.

You used my credit card?

You didn't pay for it. Now, I have to pay for it!

Can you keep it down?

My savings insurance from ten years ago...

will mature at the end of this month.

I'll have 300,000 dollars then.

I'll give it all to you.

Mom, I'm not arguing with you about money.

Do you realize that we're in a difficult situation?

Have you forgotten about the issue with Godfather?

That's exactly why I did it.

Because I'm old and ugly,

he doesn't love me anymore.

That's why I had to get a facelift.

If I didn't get a facelift,

I wouldn't even know how to love myself anymore.

It hurts.

You don't care about me at all.

All you do is yell at me...

and you're never at home.

I'm so done with you.

It hurts so much.

It hurts...

It hurts...

I do care about you.

I bought everything you asked me to.

An Qi.

My check-up is the day after tomorrow.

Do you want to check your tear trough?

Maybe you need some hyaluronic acid.

The procedure is quick.

No, I don't want a shot.

I just need to sleep early.

Godfather is calling.

Don't disturb me, okay?

I need to talk to your godfather.

Hello, take a look. We're Cheers Realty.

Thank you.

We're Cheers Realty. Take a look.

Hello. Are you looking to buy a house?

Hello.

Mr. You.

Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang?

Thank you for the amulet, Mr. Zhang.

Are you free this week?

Let's have dinner.

My treat!

On your right.

It's Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang.

Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang.

What brings you here?

Ms. Lu.

Here's the thing.

We have a problem with our house,

so we're here to consult you.

It's almost been six months since we moved in.

But in the past month,

strange things have been happening in the house.

First, it was my son.

He saw a dark figure of a pregnant woman.

She kept showing up in the house to try to strangle him.

He was so frightened he had a heart attack.

Next, it was my daughter.

Are you hiding on the second floor?

Dad is coming for you.

Mom, is that you?

She said the pregnant woman was going to attack her.

Mr. Ouyang.

Before you bought this house,

were you aware of...

the condition of the house?

A friend showed us this house.

We bought it from Mr. Weng.

We moved in after renovations six months ago.

There had been no problem...

until these strange things started to occur.

That's when we realized...

something was really wrong.

And we can't find Mr. Weng.

That's why we came to ask for your help.

You have to help us.

Number 19, this one.

- Take photos first. - Yes.

Hello.

Mr. Ouyang, I was about to call you.

Thank you for coming. This way, please.

The slippers are over here.

Sorry.

Can we take a few photos?

No problem. This way, please.

How much did you pay for this place?

How old is the house?

The house is 25 years old...

with a land ownership of 230 square meters.

We bought it for 27 million dollars at the time.

Here's the thing.

The location of houses can be divided into...

the egg yolk zone and the egg white zone.

This place should be considered...

the egg white zone of Neihu.

Of course I know that.

At first, we heard that the metro would be built nearby...

and a shopping mall would be opened.

That's why we bought the place.

Yes. That was the initial plan.

But I'm not sure if you're aware.

The developer of that shopping mall...

is in a bit of a crisis.

So they've decided to halt the project.

Then...

the metro station...

still has a long way to go.

Based on the current situation,

the house would cost 400,000 per square meter.

You bought it at a high price.

I thought there would be room for a price increase.

You can see for yourself.

I spent so much money on renovations.

I was going to sell it after a few years.

I didn't expect this to happen.

You have good taste.

The house is very comfortable.

Mrs. Ouyang.

We'll take photos of the house.

An Qi.

I don't smell anything so far.

My nose is clear right now.

There are no lonely spirits here.

But what Mrs. Ouyang told us was really scary.

I think we should look for the previous owner...

and ask him.

Okay.

Thank you.

I've made so many calls, but I still can't find Mr. Weng.

I heard he used to be a sports anchor.

It's too late today.

Call this TV station tomorrow and ask around.

Yes.

Dinner sounds good.

Send me the time and place,

and I'll be there.

What are you smiling for?

Get back to work.

What are you doing?

An Qi likes my favorite song.

Whenever I think of her scent,

I get so dizzy.

Didn't you say you couldn't stand her?

Seems like you're suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You're really sick, man.

Wait. What did you just say?

Stockholm syndrome.

What's that?

It's when a person who has been kidnapped...

eventually trusts the kidnapper...

and even thinks it's a good thing to be kidnapped.

I am a victim...

of the Lu An Qi Stockholm syndrome.

I wish...

I could get kidnapped by her every day.

The farther we go, the better.

We could go to Antarctica, be with a bunch of penguins.

We could also go to Mars...

with Elon Musk.

Anyway,

I want to get rid of the old me...

and become a new me.

The last time we had a meeting,

I was at my lowest.

My boss gave me a lot of problems.

Two important colleagues resigned at the same time.

It was driving me crazy.

Are things better now?

Of course not.

Do you remember that stress ball?

I think I crushed a hundred of them.

Look.

It's only been 10 minutes.

How many messages have I received?

I'm sorry for asking you out to dinner tonight.

Did I disturb you?

Not at all. I'm very happy.

I'm happy to see you.

And thank you for asking me out.

Because of this, I can take a break.

Otherwise, I might be eating...

convenience store food at home alone.

Listen.

You have to let me pay tonight.

Don't fight me over the bill.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Every time I look into your eyes,

I'm reminded of someone.

I don't mean anything by it.

Don't get me wrong.

It's my mom.

Both of you give me a feeling of warmth.

In fact, I miss her a lot.

My dad left us...

when I was very young.

My mom had a hard time raising me.

Actually, today is her death anniversary.

Sorry.

I have to take this call.

Hello?

Sure.

- Okay, that's all. - Water, please.

Thanks.

I'm busy right now.

Yes.

Okay.

Let's talk tomorrow.

Okay, that's all. Bye.

Let's not talk about work today.

Let's relax.

I got you a glass of water.

I suddenly want to hug him...

and comfort him.

Am I imagining it?

Or...

am I one who needs to be hugged and comforted?

An Qi, you're back.

Aunt Alice.

Hi.

An Qi.

Aunt Alice and I went shopping just now.

We bought some clothes for you.

Try them on later.

- They're very pretty. - Thank you.

We went shopping just now.

Now, Aunt Alice is exercising with me.

Do you want to join us?

You'll have a better figure.

Join us.

No.

I'm going for a run later.

Aunt Alice will stay and accompany me tonight.

We won't disturb you.

Is that okay?

Is that okay?

We haven't talked in a long time.

Can you not?

Fine, it's okay.

I love you.

One, two.

It's so hard to have a peach bum.

Lift your bum higher so it becomes perkier.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Can we change moves already?

- I can't lift it anymore. - Thank you for the dinner treat.

Do you want to go to the best cafe in Taiwan?

It'll be my treat this time.

(Sure.)

I'm off. Good luck.

- I love you, my dear. - Bye.

A few days ago,

I heard from a neighbor...

that the sister of the owner, Weng Qi Ming,

committed suicide in this house.

(Certificate of Award)

So we suspect what Xiao An saw...

was the sister of the owner.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Xiao Ai?

(Ouyang An)

Xiao Ai, are you okay?

Up there.

Xiao Ai, what's wrong?

Xiao An!

- Xiao An! - Xiao Ai, what's wrong?

Xiao An, what's wrong?

The pregnant lady...

came out and strangled him.

He had a heart attack.

Please move. Call an ambulance!

I'll do it.

It's okay.

I'm here.

Don't be scared.

Hello.

Is Xiao An all right?

What did the doctor say?

The results aren't out yet.

Xiao An has had a heart disease since he was younger.

When he's too nervous, he'll have trouble breathing...

and his heart will beat too rapidly.

He couldn't breathe because of the pregnant lady.

It's okay, baby.

Dad is here.

Mr. Ouyang.

Doctor.

So? How is he?

The electrocardiogram and blood test results...

are out.

But the numbers show...

that everything is normal.

There's no problem.

Normal?

Would a normal child suddenly faint at home?

Doctor, I...

Or maybe we can run more detailed tests.

We're really worried.

Okay. We'll arrange that as soon as possible.

Don't worry.

By the way, An Qi,

I called the TV station today.

But they said they can't disclose their employees' private details.

So I didn't get Mr. Weng's number.

Let's think of another way then.

Yes.

When the boy fainted at home,

you really didn't smell anything?

Just now...

No.

What have we run into this time?

Sir.

Excuse me. I'd like to ask you something.

Do you know a Mr. Weng who used to live nearby?

Mr. Weng Qi Ming.

- His sister... - I'm not sure.

I don't know what happened.

I'm busy.

I heard it from someone else.

Anyway, someone saw Mr. Weng's sister...

lying on a stretcher in an ambulance.

I don't know...

what happened after that.

The day before Ms. Weng's accident,

she came here to have noodles.

She sat right there.

She was eating noodles and crying.

She was crying so sadly.

I haven't seen her since.

Keep eating.

I'll get busy.

Call me if you need anything.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

Young man.

I heard you were asking about...

Ms. Weng.

You know Ms. Weng?

Nice to meet you.

I'm Lu An Qi from Cheers Realty.

Ms. Weng and her brother...

lived together.

They were very close.

Her name was Weng Qian Ru.

But she didn't have a good life.

Her boyfriend dumped her,

and she was pregnant.

Let me tell you.

Ms. Weng was very pitiful.

Just like that,

she committed suicide in her room.

An Qi.

I met Mr. Weng's ex-manager on a sports website.

He gave me Mr. Weng's number.

Really?

Hello?

Hello, is this Mr. Weng Qi Ming?

Hi, let me explain.

I'm from Cheers Realty.

My name is Lu An Qi.

Here's the thing.

I'd like to ask you something.

Six months ago,

did you sell a house in Zhongyuan Road, Neihu...

to Mr. Ouyang Zhi Yun?

You did?

Actually, we were entrusted by Mr. Ouyang.

We have a few questions for you.

We'd like to ask...

if any unnatural deaths have occured...

in that house.

Because we found out that your sister, Weng Qian Ru...

Hello?

- He hung up? - He hung up.

Isn't that kind of strange?

Should I call him again?

No need.

Ms. Weng was in an ambulance, right?

Could there be any medical records?

Maybe we can go to the hospital...

or the police station tomorrow.

Yes.

I'll check if Qian Ru had a Facebook account.

Maybe we'll find something.

Okay.

How did it go at the police station and the hospital?

Hospital?

Hospital.

Are you dying?

The hospital said...

they only let the patient...

access the medical records.

The police said...

they were working on some international case.

They couldn't be bothered with me.

But something was obviously off with Mr. Weng's attitude.

What the neighbors said might be the truth.

We just need one piece of evidence to prove...

that Mr. Ouyang's house is a stigmatized property.

You're right.

But I asked Master Lin yesterday.

He said...

there's a practice called sunning the land in Southern Taiwan.

It's...

It's to tear down the house...

and plow the soil,

and then expose the land to the sun for a year.

That will help the stigmatized property...

to get rid of the miasma.

I think...

it's quite suitable...

- for Mr. Ouyang... - To carry out this practice.

But Mr. Ouyang doesn't have the money for it now.

That's right.

But...

we can still tell him about this.

Not bad.

You're becoming more like a realtor.

Thank you.

Are you slacking off?

Do you still want to run?

Come on.

Run.

Okay.

I can't.

Run.

Okay.

An Qi, slow down. I really can't do it anymore.

Wait for me.

An Qi.

When did I get home?

I even dreamed of An Qi's dad's house.

Why hasn't Dad replied?

Did he get my email or not?

I'll teach you how to press your acupoints.

The Shenmen acupoint.

When you clench your fist, there's a line here.

Press in the middle of the line. Five minutes too.

I feel like sleeping right now.

Where are we going?

Xiao Ai, be careful. Don't rush.

Come on.

Mom.

Can we watch 'Demon Slayer' here?

It's the show for the next play.

When you're done with your homework, you can watch it.

Here, have some water.

Dad, is our school far from here?

I don't want to live here.

Once I find a new place,

we won't have to move again.

Okay?

We have to move again?

I'm so tired.

Dad has to call the realtor later.

Let's not disturb him, okay?

Go on.

Come on, be good.

Bye.

Bye.

Things kept happening in the house.

We don't dare to stay there anymore.

We've all moved into a hotel.

Ms. Lu, I'm begging you.

You have to sell the house for me.

It doesn't matter how much.

As long as I don't have to make up for the loss.

As for the commission, we'll give you two percent more.

That's six percent in total.

Thank you for your generosity.

But as I mentioned last time,

your house...

is in the egg white zone of Neihu.

You bought it at a high price.

Besides, the metro and shopping mall aren't being built anymore.

If you want to sell it that urgently,

conservatively speaking,

you'll lose almost 40 percent.

If only I had known this would happen.

My son has a congenital heart disease.

We've already spent a lot on his medical bills.

We've also spent a lot of money on renovations.

So...

I can't accept losing money.

I completely understand.

If you really want to cut your losses,

you have to prove that the house is a stigmatized property.

You can take legal action against the previous owner, Weng Qi Ming.

If he really hid the fact...

that an unnatural death had occurred in the house,

that'd be fraud.

You can sue him for compensation within five years.

Any news from the neighbors?

The neighbors gave us some information.

But nothing is confirmed.

We don't have any concrete evidence.

Give us more time.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Lu.

An Qi.

I found the evidence.

Teresa,

You don't have to suffer from depression anymore.

I hope you can be a happy angel in heaven.

RIP.

Mr. Weng.

As I told you on the phone,

we were entrusted by Mr. Ouyang.

Are you saying...

that my sister committed suicide at home?

Although Xiao Ru died at home,

the cause of death was pregnancy hypertension.

She didn't commit suicide.

No matter how weak she was...

or how terrible she felt,

she still wanted to have the baby.

Xiao Ru wouldn't kill herself.

I'm sorry.

I made you think of the sad past.

Right.

You said those two kids really saw my sister.

Could it be that she has regrets?

This is my sister's death certificate.

So?

The truth is that someone died in the house...

and her spirit won't go away.

Our family can't live here anymore.

Mr. Ouyang.

It's clearly written here...

that my sister died of pregnancy hypertension.

I don't care. This is a stigmatized property.

You hid that fact.

I'm going to sue you.

Mr. Ouyang.

From a legal perspective,

she died of natural causes.

So it's not a stigmatized property.

Mr. Ouyang, Mrs. Ouyang.

Can I try to figure this out?

If there's a problem with the house,

I'll buy it back without hesitation.

But...

can I ask the kids...

what they saw?

Come on, Xiao An, Xiao Ai.

Take your time and tell him.

Don't be afraid.

Kids.

When you saw the pregnant lady, did she...

Did she say or do something to you?

The pregnant lady reached out her hands and strangled my brother.

Then she strangled me too.

The pregnant lady reached out both of her hands and strangled you?

Yes.

She reached out and strangled me like this.

I'm sorry. Please excuse me.

Sorry, Mr. Weng.

Is something wrong?

(Cheers Realty)

I really want to see Xiao Ru.

But that pregnant lady is not Xiao Ru.

What do you mean? I don't understand.

Look.

This is a photo of Xiao Ru.

She had an accident back then.

Her entire left arm was amputated.

It's impossible for her to do what the kids had said.

She couldn't have strangled them with both hands.

Because she didn't have a left arm.

An Qi.

Mr. Weng's house was built by his dad.

For over 20 years, only his family had lived there.

Is it possible that other spirits...

could have gone to Mr. Ouyang's house?

That's possible.

But the problem is,

I didn't smell any spirits.

Xiao Ai, what's wrong?

Xiao An!

- Xiao An! - Xiao Ai, what's wrong?

- Xiao An. - The pregnant lady...

came out and strangled my brother.

He had a heart attack.

(Certificate of Award)

She reached out and strangled me like this.

(Best Male Actor, Ouyang An)

I'm wondering...

if this is a play.

What do you mean?

Only the two kids saw the spirit.

Could they have made it up?

Or maybe the adults made it up.

They're just playing along.

Da Shan had a client before this...

who couldn't negotiate a price successfully.

He spread the rumor around the neighborhood...

that the house was a stigmatized property,

so he could buy it at a lower price.

Could it be...

that Mr. Ouyang and his family are putting on an act?

Also, don't you think...

that Ms. Shui is strange?

She told us so much.

That's right.

We asked so many neighbors,

but she was the only one who told us so much.

She even told us that Ms. Weng hanged herself.

Did she mislead us on purpose?

Her motive is to turn the house into a stigmatized property.

I didn't make it up.

Ms. Weng...

died of pregnancy hypertension.

Many pregnant women die that way.

That's not what you said last time.

Ma'am.

Defamation is punishable by up to a year in prison.

You'd also be fined.

Well...

Mr. Ouyang told me to say it.

All right.

I'll tell you everything.

But don't call the police on me.

Why are you here all of a sudden?

Mr. Ouyang.

Ms. Shui from the dry cleaner confessed.

You paid her...

to spread the rumor that Ms. Weng committed suicide.

Ridiculous.

What's the meaning of this?

Your motive for doing this...

is the price of the house has plummeted.

So you made up a story to make it look like a stigmatized property...

to force Mr. Weng to buy it back at the original price.

Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang.

Do you know that...

you committed fraud in order to cut your losses?

What nonsense are you spouting?

We've always been honest with our clients.

But this time, our client lied to us.

I'm sorry.

We'd like to terminate the contract.

Mr. Weng.

I want to sincerely apologize to you.

Mr. Ouyang and his family staged the haunting.

We misunderstood you.

We're really sorry.

Ms. Lu.

It's good that the truth has been revealed.

Thank you for your understanding.

I feel even more embarrassed.

I hope that in the future,

you'll give us another chance to serve you...

and make it up to you.

Actually, I have something.

I'd like you to help me sell my current place.

After this incident,

I've decided to move.

I want to leave this sad place.

Of course.

When it's convenient for you,

I'll pay you a visit with my assistant.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

An Qi, what did Mr. Weng say?

Fortunately, Mr. Weng is a reasonable person.

He didn't blame us.

He even said he'd entrust us...

to sell his current place.

That's great.

This is what we call...

- What was it again? - Goodbye, troublesome customers.

- One bait, two fish. - One bait, two fish.

Kill two birds with one stone.

All right. Let's get back to the conversation.

What were you saying, Miao Miao?

- Doughnuts and eggplant? - I watched a movie a while ago.

The male lead sent a text message...

asking the female lead to sleep with him.

He sent...

the eggplant and donut emojis.

Eggplant and donut are okay.

But cucumber and donut...

are not.

No.

Both cucumber and eggplant...

are not okay.

For a sunflower like me,

there should be the corn and bitter gourd emojis.

Only then I'll agree.

Bitter gourd?

- Bitter gourd? - Bitter gourd.

Do you want me to send you an emoji of Taipei 101?

Do you think I'm a bottomless pit?

Okay, I am a bottomless pit. Where should it be inserted?

So cute.

Darn it.

It's hard.

- Can you do it, An Qi? - Yes.

It feels so good to have the truth revealed!

I got it!

I saw it.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

It's quite fun.

It feels good, right?

By the way, An Qi.

About the festival fundraiser,

how is it going?

Mr. Zhang said the company is still evaluating the proposal.

It will take some time.

Why? Are you in a hurry?

No, I'm just asking.

Hello, Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang?

What did you say? 6:30pm?

Cheesecake or donut?

Donut, then.

Donut?

Okay.

Eggplant. Donut.

Eggplant.

Donut.

Eggplant. Donut.

Okay.

Yes.

Eggplant.

Why did he suddenly ask An Qi out for donuts?

I'm home.

You're back.

I just made some calming soup.

Look, I take care of you too.

If you want to lose weight,

I can also make you weight loss soup.

Stop making me calming soup.

I've been drinking it for days.

I'm sick of it.

Then have ginseng chicken soup.

I made ginseng chicken soup today.

I'll have this.

It's good.

Drink more.

Is your wound better now?

I have another checkup tomorrow.

Let's get some fresh air as well.

This weekend,

let's go to the farmers' market, okay?

Didn't the doctor tell you not to wander around?

But...

I'm bored to death from being at home every day.

I can't watch dramas every day.

My eyes are getting blurry because of that.

This weekend?

I can't this weekend.

We'll see next weekend.

Next weekend?

You said it.

I'll remember this.

(This is Dad.)

Dad replied.

So he's in Paris.

I bought donuts. Come and have some.

An Qi.

Someone is criticizing the company on social media.

I think they're talking about you.

- Me? - I'll read it to you.

After buying a suspected stigmatized property in Neihu,

my two kids have been scared day and night.

So I went to X Realty...

and consulted Lu X.

But instead, she teamed up with the previous owner...

to accuse me of fraud.

Then they contacted me...

and wanted me to sell the house at a low price.

They even attached the kid's proof of hospitalization.

This is even worse.

The agent Pan was in debt,

so he's been scamming homeowners.

Many people have come forward to identify him.

Which branch is this?

Headquarters just called.
