CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 33: MORE THAN PHYSICAL HARM, BUT ALSO THE SOUL

Gao Liang had never been so excited to see the police like he was now.

He clung to the policeman’s leg with a face swollen like a pig’s head, "Officer, I’m sorry, it’s my fault."

"I’m part of the mafia, please arrest me quickly!"

It’s hard to imagine what exactly he had experienced in the past few minutes.

In fact, no one but Mu Yunchu knew that Li Shang caused more than just physical harm to these people.

There was also their soul.

As a high-level female ghost, she could easily cast illusions on these people, making them see the scariest scenes of their lives.

That’s why Gao Liang was so afraid.

Zhou Zhicheng: "..."

He initially intended to come and help.

Fearing that Mu Yunchu, being so young, might get bullied.

But now he wasn’t sure exactly who was being bullied.

After asking to clarify the situation, he called for backup from the police station and planned to take the people away.

Since they encountered them, they wouldn’t let these thugs off.

"Thanks, Captain Zhou."

Zhou Zhicheng’s appearance helped her handle the aftermath.

Though she wondered what the person behind the scenes would feel about this.

Raising the teapot in her hand as a gesture, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

...

From a distance, Hu Chi and the others who didn’t get out of the car watched earnestly.

"Hmm?"

"This young girl is quite brave, facing so many gangsters without changing her expression."

Chu Xiaolin watched Mu Yunchu from afar, a sincere admiration flashing in her eyes.

It was a gaze without a trace of malice.

However, Hu Chi’s expression turned strange.

"Sister Lin, this... girl is not an ordinary person," he pondered for a while before coming up with this way to refer to her.

"Oh?"

Seeing Chu Xiaolin’s interest piqued, he recounted in detail how Mu Yunchu had helped the police find a murderer and evidence, as if sifting through a basket.

"Before meeting her, I didn’t know someone could fortune-tell so accurately either."

"Sometimes I even doubt how she found that body, could it be the ghost of the deceased told her directly?"

With no outsiders in the car, Hu Chi relaxed a bit.

After saying this, he found it a little ridiculous himself.

Wen Xu, however, unexpectedly opened his eyes.

Though his eyes were closed, he wasn’t asleep, just relieving eye fatigue in a nap.

As the mottled shadows flickered outside the car window, he sat quietly in a single seat inside, as if separated from everything around by an invisible barrier.

He wore a simple shirt, his complexion fair and stern, with deep, distant eyes lightly lifted, casually gazing out the window, looking past the crowd to the center of their discussion.

There were two women.

Upon seeing Mu Yunchu, his gaze paused slightly, and though looking emotionless, his pupils quivered briefly, but since he quickly looked away, no one noticed.

Including himself.

But when his gaze shifted slightly to Li Shang next to her, his reaction was more pronounced. His eyebrows, which were not relaxed even before, now knit quite tightly.

This person... why does she give him a feeling of gloom and coldness?

Just like those he’d felt in the past.

*

Watching Zhou Zhicheng take everyone away, Mu Yunchu asked Li Shang to clean up the trash at the store entrance, while she went inside to fetch something.

Although the shop owner across didn’t actually help her, she felt obliged to express her gratitude.

Mu Yunchu handed him a red amulet.

"This talisman can ensure peace."

The shop owner was dazed, not fully recovered from the recent scare.

"Actually, I didn’t help much," he said somewhat embarrassed.

Strictly speaking, if it weren’t for Mu Yunchu, he’d probably be beaten by now.

Seeing Mu Yunchu insist, he reached out to take it, recalling when she first took over the shop.

Back then, she also handed that newlywed couple an amulet.

Could it be...

Before his fright peaked, Mu Yunchu spoke first, "It’s just to ensure peace."

The shop owner let out a huge sigh of relief.

He thought he was doomed for sure.

In truth, Mu Yunchu withheld part of the truth—the shop owner was about to experience a major event at home, severe enough to describe as ’ruin and death’.

The amulet she gave could play a decisive role at a crucial moment.

The reason she didn’t mention it was that she saw he was the type to overthink and wouldn’t sleep well worrying if he knew.

Moreover, when the time comes, he’ll come to find her.

*

A few days later, sensing the time was right, Mu Yunchu started a live stream.

This was her fourth live stream.

Since the last stream ended, many online were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

The main point of contention was the identity of the owner of that car she directed the predestined person to intercept.

And why the video abruptly cut off.

Everyone suspected she had miscalculated, causing the predestined person to be dragged back by her husband.

So once Mu Yunchu’s streaming reminder went up, people flooded the stream with all sorts of thoughts.

The viewer count reached over forty thousand.

This was a new record high.

There were so many people that comments vanished instantly, making it hard to read.

But actually, most of them focused on two issues:

The escape of the predestined one from the domestic abuser.

[Streamer, you know what we want to ask! Quickly tell us how the abused predestined person is doing.]

[Honestly, I’ve been worried sick these past days, wanting to report to the police, but I have no idea of the predestined person’s address.]

And Mu Yunchu briefly appearing for two seconds in Jiang Ci’s live stream.

[We saw you help the predestined person solve the evil fortune technique! You didn’t broadcast the entire process, is there something amiss in the relationship?]

Recalling that day’s scene after seeing this comment—Zhao Nan breaking in with an axe and a kitchen knife...

Perhaps if it were live, her stream would’ve been shut down.

At this thought, a familiar person requested to connect.

It was Rong Rong.

Though only a few days passed, Rong Rong’s complexion was significantly better, her clothes neat and tidy, unlike before when they were all wrinkled, and her eyes filled with hope for the future.

[!!!]

[Great! You’re okay! So, you weren’t caught by your husband that day, right?]

[I knew it, when the streamer says it’s okay, it’s definitely okay!]

...

Moved to see so many people caring for her, tears welled up in her eyes.

They say spouses are the closest, her parents passed away, her husband was someone closest to her, yet he never brought her the warmth these strangers did.

Wiping her tears, she began addressing those questioning Mu Yunchu:

"The car the streamer directed me to stop was driven by a female police officer."

[It’s actually a female cop???]

[Seriously, is this a coincidence or did the streamer truly predict it?]

[I’m sure it was predicted!]
