Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

One horror story is when a financial advisor recommended high - risk investments without properly assessing the client's risk tolerance. The client ended up losing a large portion of their savings. Another is when an advisor was found to be churning accounts, making excessive trades just to earn more commissions, which cost the client a lot in fees. And there was a case where an advisor misappropriated a client's funds for their own personal use.
