Chapter 27: What Is a Divine Fortune Teller

His gaze froze for a moment as he said, “Little kid, I have something on, so I might not be able to eat with you anymore. How about we change it to tonight?”

Hearing this, Ying Zijin remembered something.

It had been exactly seven days since she first met them.

Something was about to happen to Nie Chao.

Obviously, he didn’t take her words seriously.

Still, that was to be expected.

She remembered that in 1780, just before she left, all the witch warlocks in Continent O were hunted down as heretics.

After so many years, there were still few people who were really good at divination.

Few people believed in such superstition.

“It won’t be long.” When Fu Yunshen didn’t hear an answer, he turned around and said with a smile, “I’ll order takeout for you and Uncle. You can get some rest. How about that?”

There was no telling what sort of danger was awaiting, so he couldn’t bring a young lady with him.

Ying Zijin knew he had no intention of letting her go with him.

She frowned slightly as she said, “Be careful of the high ground.”

When he heard this, the smile on Fu Yunshen’s lips widened. He raised his hand and rubbed the girl’s head as he said with a gentle smile, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

He opened the car door and dropped her off in front of the apartment.

The car started again. After driving away, Fu Yunshen’s smile slowly disappeared.

He turned the steering wheel as he switched on his phone again.

The message was still flashing nonstop on the screen. It was very short.

Sharpshooter No.94.

Apart from the difference in numbers, it was the same as the name on the first folder from that day.

Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes.

He didn’t expect Nie Chao to be targeted by someone on the Hunting List.

After Fu Yunshen deleted the message, he made a call. “Check the Nie family’s recent movements.”

Huangpu Road, No.1 Tavern.

Today was the grand opening, so there were many people gathered at noon.

After Nie Chao took the best seat beside the bar counter, he prepared to drink to his heart’s content.

Not long after, the surroundings were filled with people and the stage was set up.

Nie Chao was listening to music with his headphones on when the music suddenly stopped.

“Eh?” He said in puzzlement, “No way. It’s broken?”

He had just bought it not long ago.

However, before he could take it off to check, an indistinguishable voice came from his earpiece.

“You’re at No.1 Tavern on Huangpu Road.”

Nie Chao was shocked. “How do you know?”

F*ck, who was this? Not only could he hack into his phone, but he also knew his whereabouts. Could it be that his grandfather had sent someone to capture him?

The other party didn’t answer. He only said, “Someone wants to kill you.”

“Stop joking.” Nie Chao said with exasperation, “Who would dare to murder someone in broad daylight? Who are you?”

“Ten seconds later.” As Ying Zijin looked at the flashing red dot on the computer screen, she narrowed her eyes and said, “You can give it a try.”

Nie Chao was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He didn’t want to talk to the person anymore, so he turned off his phone.

But at this moment, the lights in the bar suddenly went out.

In the darkness, someone screamed.

Nie Chao was also stunned. Before he could react, two words came from his earpiece.

“Get down.”

“Bang!”

After Nie Chao fell to the ground, he could feel the heat coming from above him. The bullet had just grazed the top of his head.

What the hell?

Someone really wanted to kill him!

The bar instantly became chaotic and screams sounded one after another.

Nie Chao’s legs went weak. Now, he finally believed the person.

He swallowed hard and asked, “What—what should I do now?”

Ying Zijin didn’t use a voice changer. Instead, she relied on her vocal cords to create another voice. She said indifferently, “Turn three steps to the right.”

Nie Chao hurriedly did as he was told.

“Bang!”

Just as he turned around, there was another explosion behind him. It missed him by just a little bit.

Nie Chao broke out in cold sweat and cursed inwardly.

F*ck, what was going on?!

The voice in the earpiece continued to give instructions. It sounded very calm, even leisurely.

“Bend over.”

“Jump.”

“Now run.”

Nie Chao had no time to suspect the other party. He began to run.

It wasn’t until he’d been running wildly for thirty seconds that the last two words reached his ears.

“You’re safe.”

Nie Chao fell to the ground with a thud and panted heavily. “What the f*ck…”

In the apartment, Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair and yawned.

This time, the energy consumption was quite big.

She had to have some chocolate mousse cake to replenish her energy.

When Fu Yunshen arrived, Tavern No. 1 was already surrounded.

Although there were no casualties, the facilities in the bar were basically destroyed.

Bullet holes had been found in the floor and walls, so this case had to be taken seriously.

Fu Yunshen turned his head and saw Nie Chao squatting by the roadside with a bandage on his forehead.

He was fine.

Fu Yunshen relaxed and asked as he walked over, “Why aren’t you getting up?”

Nie Chao was on the brink of tears as he said, “Seventh Young Master, do you know that I almost died?”

“I can tell.” After Fu Yunshen glanced around, he had a rough idea.

Nie Chao slapped his thigh in anger as he said, “I don’t know who has such a huge grudge against me that they actually want to kill me.”

That bullet was very accurate. If not for the mysterious person who had hacked into his phone to help him, he really would have died at a young age.

If the killer was so capable, he could have aimed for his old man. What was the use of killing him?

After Fu Yunshen pulled him up, he said, “Let’s go to the hospital first.”

Nie Chao pretended to wipe his tears as he sat in the front passenger seat.

Fu Yunshen started the car again and said aloofly, “Why did you think of coming here?”

Nie Chao scratched his head as he said, “On the way, I received a flyer. It looked good, so I came here.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen hummed.

It was indeed not a coincidence.

“Seventh Young Master, I’m going to sleep for a while.” Nie Chao still had a lingering sense of fear over his narrow escape from death, and sleepiness overcame him. “Wake me up when we get there.”

Fu Yunshen glanced at him. After confirming that he was asleep, he picked up the phone that had rung a few times.

“Yunshen?”

The male voice on the other end was deep and magnetic.

“Your brother has a bounty on his head. The hunter who attacked him is ranked 94th on the Marksmanship Ranking.” Fu Yunshen chuckled as he said aloofly, “But he’s quite lucky. He wasn’t hit. He just got his head knocked while running.”

Anyone on the Marksmanship Ranking List, even if they were only ranked at the bottom of the list, would be able to hit ordinary people accurately.

Today, he saw a total of five bullet holes, but none of them hit Nie Chao.

It was an insult to the Marksmanship Ranking List.

Hearing this, the other party fell silent.

“I understand. I’ll be back soon.”

After parting ways with her agent, Ying Luwei called the old residence first.

At night, she drove back.

“Miss Luwei.” The butler, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and said respectfully, “Madam is inside. You can go in directly.”

Ying Luwei pushed open the door with a smile.

In the living room, Zhong Manhua was trimming the flowers in the vase. She looked up and said with a smile, “Luwei, why are you in such a hurry?”

“I’m just here to ask you, does Jin want to enter the entertainment industry?” Ying Luwei nodded as she said, “If she wants to enter the entertainment industry, I can help.”

She hesitated for a moment before asking, “But if that’s the case, won’t she be unable to attend Qingzhi’s classes?”
