CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 14: WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE BODIES?

This is already the third time police have shown up in Mu Yunchu’s livestream room.

Compared to the first two times, some of her fans are somewhat used to it by now.

But being accustomed is one thing, and being tense is another.

When Zhou Zhicheng had someone pick up Lin Tianyou on the way and the two drove to the suburbs together, the comments in the livestream exploded.

[First time here, does this stream always play it this big?]

[You’ll get used to it. The host is super awesome, and this officer is practically a regular in the stream.]

[So tense, I feel like I’m about to go solve a case with the police.]

[Don’t know if they can make it in time, mines are usually in very remote areas, really worried they won’t make it.]

[Trust the host, if she’s talking about it now, there must be a reason.]

...

Seeing that last comment, a moment of warmth appeared on Mu Yunchu’s usually calm face.

She then looked to the other side of the split screen in the livestream.

After all, it was his first time being taken in a police car, so Lin Tianyou couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Especially thinking about what he’s doing now, he was on pins and needles.

"Do I need to turn off the livestream?" he asked proactively.

But Zhou Zhicheng just glanced at him and said, "No need," then crossed his arms and rested against the car seat.

He had livestreamed even murder cases before, let alone this one.

And Zhou Zhicheng had thought it through, appearing in Mu Yunchu’s livestream not only didn’t harm but could positively influence the police station.

Might even help achieve some KPIs.

...

The car went directly onto the overpass and then towards the highway, finally stopping at a place even the map couldn’t fully display.

Throughout, they hadn’t stopped the car, yet even so, it took three hours.

[Biological father living a miserable life less than 300 kilometers away, just thinking about it is a bit heartbreaking.]

[This group is so excessive, they must be caught!]

Lin Tianyou thought the same.

At the same time, he quietly made a decision in his heart:

He is determined to make that gang pay the price!

...

At this moment, in a steel-plate house inside, an old man with white hair and dark skin lay on a bed, life or death unknown.

His right leg was gory and bleeding profusely, looking horrific, yet the person sitting beside him looked indifferent, holding a knife gradually approaching him.

"Lao Wang, why do you do this?"

"We’ve known each other for so many years, even if we’re not emotional, you don’t need to get me killed."

Wang Zhengze struggled to open his eyelids, too much blood loss rendered him unable to speak.

"Alas..." The man sighed deeply, took a drag on the cigarette, then threw it on the ground.

"You’re trying to report my mine, that’s essentially cutting off my lifeline. Don’t blame me down below; blame yourself for knowing too much!"

With those words, he gripped the knife with both hands, raising it high. Just as he was about to give Wang Zhengze a swift end, the room door was suddenly kicked open.

"Don’t move!"

He watched as detectives in combat gear filed in, his legs so weak he stumbled a few steps.

"Police?"

"How can there be police here?"

But obviously, no one could answer him.

The next second, he was disarmed and forced down to the floor.

Then Lin Tianyou, along with medics, carried Wang Zhengze out on a stretcher.

He was in critical condition and could only receive immediate emergency care on the spot.

Meanwhile, other officers searched the rest of the building for people.

...

Seeing this, the online viewers watching with their hearts in their throats could finally relax.

[Thank goodness, thank goodness they made it in time.]

[Did you see that, when the police went in, that bad guy had a knife in hand, if they were even a bit later, the father of some lucky person could have been killed.]

[When the camera swept over, I didn’t dare to look closely, just saw a lot of blood, host, is he going to be okay?]

...

"Don’t worry, he will be fine."

Mu Yunchu’s voice was like a boost of confidence for them.

Since she said it would be okay, then it should be fine.

Sure enough, in less than twenty minutes, Lin Tianyou came over with red eyes.

"My dad’s fine now, after doctor’s rescue, he’s basically out of danger."

He felt he should personally thank Mu Yunchu face to face.

"Host, thank you so much."

Lin Tianyou’s mind was in chaos, and his feelings towards Mu Yunchu were extremely complex.

He even foolishly thought of exposing her before?

How could he dare?

Mu Yunchu didn’t really mind.

"No need to thank, you’ve already paid the divination fee."

Lin Tianyou paid the divination fee, and Mu Yunchu gave him guidance for avoiding misfortune; it was a fair exchange, no debts owed.

"But as for my mom..." Lin Tianyou still didn’t know how to explain all this to his mother.

To this, Mu Yunchu merely told him not to worry.

After missing thirty years, his parents can at least enjoy a happy later life.

Before hanging up the call, Mu Yunchu remembered something.

"By the way, regarding the contract signing issue..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Lin Tianyou hurriedly interrupted.

"No, no, no, just pretend this never happened."

"I absolutely won’t bring it up again."

"Once I take my dad to the hospital, I’ll handle this matter immediately!"

He dared to sign Mu Yunchu?

What a joke!

However, later Mu Yunchu seriously explained to him why they couldn’t sign a contract with them.

Just like she said at the start, the money she earns from fortune-telling in her livestream couldn’t be shared with them.

The price for revealing heavenly mechanisms needed to be paid.

Mu Yunchu could circumvent this price, but their platform company couldn’t.

Once they took Mu Yunchu’s money, the company from top to bottom would start having bad luck.

At the least, they would lose money catastrophically; at worst, illness and death.

Lin Tianyou broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this and quickly amended the contract.

Thus, Mu Yunchu became the only host on the Whale Platform since its establishment, who didn’t have to share gift earnings with the platform.

...

However, just as Lin Tianyou wanted to disconnect the call, Zhou Zhicheng mysteriously appeared and snatched the phone away.

Still in that ’Subway Old Man Looking at Phone’ posture, showing viewers only a glimpse of his eyes.

"Wait, wait, wait..."

He held the phone to his ear, "Is there something else you need to tell me?"

Like the pivotal evidence against their group.

Apart from Wang Zhengze.

If he remembers correctly, Mu Yunchu mentioned before that their gang had more than one or two killings under their belt.

So where the bodies of the others were became the key evidence to convict them.

Mu Yunchu’s hand holding the fan paused for a moment.

Her thin lips parted, and what she said made everyone feel the chill of deep winter in the scorching summer.
