CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: A RATHER UNUSUAL SIXTH SENSE

Secretary Gao wouldn’t speak out of turn to provide a reminder.

As the elevator doors opened, she led people to Sun Yazhu’s room and respectfully knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a female bodyguard dressed in a black suit, wearing sunglasses, looking very stern.

Chang Ru dared not look around much, focusing on Secretary Gao’s pant leg as she walked into the room.

It was a suite, consisting of three bedrooms and a living room, equipped with a terrace, swimming pool, bathroom, and kitchen.

Sun Yazhu wasn’t wearing professional attire; instead, she was in a high-end custom dress, sitting outside the living room balcony sipping coffee.

The sunset’s afterglow tinged her hair with a layer of orange-red, making her exquisite face appear more elegant and noble amidst the contrasting red and black.

Chang Ru couldn’t help but hold her breath, forgetting all the meeting dialogues she rehearsed countless times in her heart.

Until Sun Yazhu directed her gaze over, elegantly smiled at her and said: "Hello, Miss Chang, please have a seat."

Chang Ru passively responded: "Miss Sun."

Sun Yazhu, holding a spoon, stirred the coffee cup, her voice melodious, "Miss Chang, what brings you to me?"

Chang Ru forced herself to calm down, looking straight into Sun Yazhu’s eyes, "Miss Sun, I came this time to warn you about something."

"What is it?" Sun Yazhu seemed a bit surprised, raised her coffee cup and took a gentle sip.

Chang Ru glanced at the few bodyguards standing by Sun Yazhu but she didn’t ask them to leave, "Just say it, don’t worry."

Chang Ru pressed her lips, fingers nervously clenched, "Miss Sun, what I am going to say might sound alarming, but I must warn you that you might run into trouble recently, so please don’t go out alone."

Chang Ru looked into Sun Yazhu’s eyes, trying to appear more trustworthy.

Sun Yazhu paused in her movements, her expression unchanged, "Does Miss Chang have the ability to predict?"

"No, my sixth sense is somewhat unique. So, Miss Sun, please take this matter seriously."

Sun Yazhu nodded slightly and took another sip of coffee, "Thank you, Miss Chang, for the warning."

Chang Ru’s face finally showed a hint of a smile, with a touch of admiration in her eyes, she complimented, "Miss Sun, no need to be so formal, just call me Chang Ru."

Sun Yazhu smiled, "Miss Chang, is there anything else besides this?"

Chang Ru’s smile stiffened, feeling a bit confused about her meaning. Sun Yazhu, with a dignified smile, continued, "You traveled all the way from Beijing to Anhe just to warn me not to go out alone? That doesn’t seem too worthwhile, does it?"

Chang Ru seemed as if her secret was exposed, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, yet maintaining a smile, "Miss Sun, I don’t have any other request, I simply don’t want you to be... never mind, since Miss Sun has so many bodyguards, it seems my concern is redundant. I shall take my leave now!"

The rest of her words remained unspoken, but Sun Yazhu was already on high alert.

Not wanting her to be what?

Kidnapped? Or violated?

What does she already know?

Sun Yazhu’s face cooled a bit, she put down the coffee cup, raising her voice slightly: "Wait a moment!"

Chang Ru, who had already walked from the balcony into the room, stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Sun Yazhu.

She saw Sun Yazhu had already stood up, still wearing a smile on her face, "Miss Chang, why not join me for dinner tonight?"

***

The place Sun Yazhu invited Chang Ru for dinner was also in the hotel, Sun Yazhu reserved the entire revolving restaurant.

Chang Ru’s expression was not as enthusiastic as earlier, sitting quietly opposite Sun Yazhu.

Sun Yazhu had a bottle of good wine opened and poured a glass each for Chang Ru and herself.

"Try it, forty-year-old red wine."

Chang Ru picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Sun Yazhu gracefully picked up the wine glass and had a sip too, then picked up the knife and fork, gently cutting the steak in front of her.

After seeing the service personnel leave, Sun Yazhu casually asked, "Chang Ru, there are too many people who want to meet me, most come with a purpose, it becomes quite vexing at times."

Seeing the hint of a bitter smile on Sun Yazhu’s face, Chang Ru felt a bit of her unhappiness disperse.

Sun Yazhu glanced at her and continued, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I’ve heard that people with a strong sixth sense usually only have such mystical predictions about themselves or people near them. Since we don’t know each other, how did you sense that I would be facing trouble soon?"

Chang Ru seemed prepared for this question, replied naturally, "Actually, this ability of mine isn’t very accurate. Often, after encountering certain events, some very strong thoughts suddenly pop into my mind. For instance, a few days ago I saw news reporting that police arrested a suspect for trafficking women in a certain county. Initially, it was nothing, but after coming to Anhe, this strong notion of someone getting abducted appeared in my mind, then I happened to encounter you..."

The rest of her words went unsaid, but the meaning was obvious. Sun Yazhu’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, appearing to be processing Chang Ru’s words.

Chang Ru watched her ponder, feeling a sense of pride.

This explanation had been repeated countless times since childhood, and most people who heard it would believe it.

Because people are fascinated by such mysterious and supernatural matters, yet carry a sense of reverence.

Sun Yazhu pondered for a while, a gleam of some kind seemed to flash in her eyes, "Chang Ru, your ability is quite like prophecy."

Chang Ru humbly said, "It’s not prophecy, just that my sixth sense is somewhat unique."

"Well, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Chang Ru was slightly stunned, heart filled with surprise and joy, unable to suppress the happiness in her eyes, but she modestly added a few words: "This... isn’t much... my ability is sporadic."

"No problem, having this ability is better than none."

After the meal, Chang Ru received Sun Yazhu’s business card.

After she left, Sun Yazhu’s face turned somber; her hidden eyes in the darkness reflected cold light: "Investigate Chang Ru and the Chang Family!"

Gao Lan nodded seriously with a stern expression.

Sun Yazhu picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, and quietly gazed at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Her pupils were dark without any gleam, like the calm before the storm.

Even a whole cigarette couldn’t settle her mood.

Sun Yazhu grabbed the car key from the table and got up to leave.

"Miss, where are you going?" the female bodyguard asked anxiously.

"Ming Mansion Garden."

At 7:30 in the evening, just as the news broadcast ended, Bai Xiaotang heard the video phone ringing.

"Xiao Yang, the phone—"

"Why don’t you get it?"

Bai Xiaotang grabbed the small blanket, glanced at Ji Ning beside her, and said righteously, "If I move, Sister Ning will feel cold."

She was currently sharing a small blanket with Ji Ning, watching TV.

Lin Yuanyang gave Bai Xiaotang a disdainful gesture, jumped off the sofa, and ran towards the door.

"Hello, this is the west gate sentry, a lady with the surname Sun is requesting a visit, should we allow her entry?"

Lin Yuanyang glanced at the well-dressed Sun Yazhu in the video, hesitated for a moment, and allowed the security to let her in.

"Who is it?" Bai Xiaotang loudly asked from the living room.

Lin Yuanyang came back with a puzzled look, "Sun Yazhu."

"Who?"

"Miss Sun from the Sun Family, Sun Yazhu."

Bai Xiaotang almost choked on a grape, "Cough cough... Why is she coming?"

Before Lin Yuanyang could answer, Ji Ning suddenly said, "She’s here for me."
