Chapter 1204: Another Prediction
Qi Hao’s hands itched to play games. When he came out to ask his cousin for his phone, he saw his cousin leaning against the wall in the yard outside and smoking.
Because of the light, Qi Hao couldn’t see his cousin’s expression through the smoke. He only felt that his cousin’s face was gloomy, as if he was in a very bad mood.
He hadn’t thought much of it earlier, but when he thought of the thick smoke he had smelled on his cousin just now, he wondered how much his cousin had been smoking recently.
But he remembered that his eldest cousin had always been very disciplined and rarely smoked. He was always very concerned about his sister-in-law.
However, his cousin’s mood seemed off lately.
Qi Hao hadn’t dwelled on it before, but the more he thought about it now, the more he felt that his cousin’s mood was off.
Qi Hao was about to ask his cousin what was wrong.
When he met his cousin’s sharp, deep and cold eyes, Qi Hao shuddered in fright and his mind went blank. He couldn’t say a word and could only stare blankly at his cousin.
Qi Zhenbai tossed the phone to Qi Hao, who hurriedly caught it. When he caught the phone, he finally came back to his senses and said worriedly, “Brother, you don’t look good. Are you okay?”
He saw his cousin finish a cigarette, take out a cigarette box from his pocket, light another cigarette, and take a puff. Qi Hao felt that his cousin was smoking too much!
He took a closer look at the cigarette box and realized that there were only a few cigarettes left. His cousin wouldn’t smoke this whole pack today, right?
......
Qi Hao walked closer and smelled tobacco on his cousin. He frowned. What was wrong with his cousin?
Without waiting for Qi Hao to ask, Qi Zhenbai walked toward the garage and said to Qi Hao, “Haozi, if Grandpa asks about me, say that something happened at the company and I left first!”
Qi Hao gaped. “Brother, it’s so late. Are you still going back to the company?”
Qi Zhenbai didn’t have the patience to respond to his cousin’s words. He told Qi Hao to sleep early, then drove away.
On the other side in Y City, the taxi drove for another ten minutes before Chi Shuyan looked outside and asked the driver how much longer it would be. Hearing that they were almost at Swan Lake, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.
The driver’s surname was Chen, and he was a local man in his forties or fifties. He was in a good mood. Seeing a young lady come to Swan Lake so late, he couldn’t help but warn her, “Young lady, this place is really strange. Many people have died here before. Why don’t I drive you back to your inn?”
Seeing a young lady come here so late at night, Driver Chen was really worried. He had a daughter who was about the same age as the young lady in the backseat. He really couldn’t bear to see anything happen to her.
Chi Shuyan thanked Driver Chen for his kindness, but refused the offer. When the car stopped outside the area that Swan Lake was in, Driver Chen tried to persuade her again. Just as Chi Shuyan was about to leave, she saw black cadaveric qi gather on Driver Chen’s forehead. His face was gray and he looked like he was about to die. Chi Shuyan frowned deeply. If she wasn’t wrong, the driver would probably die tonight.
When she paid, she calmly touched the driver’s hand, and a murder scene flashed in front of her eyes.
Driver Chen was about to drive home at 3:30am, but on the way, he picked up a thug. Not only was he robbed, he was also killed and dismembered.
Chi Shuyan’s face froze and her expression turned a bit heavy. This driver was a good person. He had kindly tried to warn her several times earlier, so she naturally couldn’t watch him die.
Before Driver Chen could leave, Chi Shuyan suddenly said, “Uncle Chen, to be honest with you, I’m a Celestial Master. I see that you will encounter a calamity tonight. If you believe me, why don’t I read your fortune?”
Y City was a little remote and filled with mountains. Most people here still believed in superstitions and ghosts. Hearing the young lady’s words, Driver Chen’s face changed. There was some hesitation and doubt in his eyes, mainly because Chi Shuyan was too young to be a Celestial Master.
Seeing the doubt on Driver Chen’s face, Chi Shuyan said, “I charge 500 per reading, which isn’t expensive. Uncle Chen, if you don’t believe me, you can pay me after it comes true. If it doesn’t, I won’t take the money!”
Chi Shuyan also told him the address of the inn, and said that he could look for her there when the time came.
Driver Chen’s attitude finally softened when he heard this. At the thought of the calamity that the young lady had mentioned, his heart turned cold. Besides, there was no need for this young lady to spend so much effort to lie to him for 500 yuan, and to read his fortune before getting the money.
At that moment, Driver Chen was 50 to 60% convinced. He nodded and said, “Okay, young lady, then read my fortune!”
Chi Shuyan had already seen the other party’s death. In order to dispel Driver Chen’s doubts, she could only pretend to calculate with her fingers in front of him for a while before she said, “Uncle Chen, you will probably encounter a calamity at 3:30am tonight. There are several ways to resolve it. The first is for you to go home early tonight. The second is for you to go home after 3:20am tonight. Don’t be moved if anyone wants to hitch a ride with you. Remember this! Otherwise, your life will be in danger!”
After her reading, Chi Shuyan ignored Driver Chen’s expression. Just in case, she took out a Safety Talisman from her pocket and gave it to Driver Chen. Before she left, however, she didn’t forget to remind him, “Uncle Chen, if you do this, you’ll safely avoid danger. Don’t forget the money for the reading!”
It wasn’t that she was greedy for the 500 yuan, but that if the other party deliberately didn’t give her the money, he would suffer a karmic backlash sooner or later. If he suffered a karmic backlash over this 500 yuan, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Driver Chen’s attitude was good, and he hurriedly nodded. “Okay, okay…”
