I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams

Chapter 204: Not Everyone Has Your Abilities

The *Qing Qing Wo Wo* production team was originally scheduled to film for half a month, but a series of unexpected events caused the guests to leave one after another.

Now, only Shen Zhiyao, Meng Xiaoxiao, and Chen Yan remained, so the production team naturally couldn’t continue filming.

The crew changed their plans at the last minute, ending the shoot early for all the guests.

With the time they had left, they could edit the existing footage into a full episode for broadcast.

Even though the livestreaming part of the show hadn’t gone so well, it had generated a lot of buzz. This episode was expected to pull in high ratings.

After Jin Fan got the news, he went to wait for her at the dock ahead of time.

To give Shen Zhiyao a grand welcome, he specially arranged for over twenty Rolls-Royces to be there and even had people hold up a banner that read: "Welcome home, Great-Grandma!"

He waited for a long time without seeing any sign of Shen Zhiyao. In the end, all he got was a ticket from a police officer.

Jin Fan thought his great-grandma hadn’t come back yet, but when he turned his head, he saw Chen Yan walking over, pulling a suitcase.

He only knew who Chen Yan was from watching the show.

Others might ignore Chen Yan, but Jin Fan had to keep a close eye on him.

’Because the way that old geezer looks at Great-Grandma isn’t right. I have to make him stay away from her!’

He took two steps forward and blocked Chen Yan’s path. "You’re that pretty boy!"

Chen Yan touched his face, looking a bit puzzled. "Me? Well, my face probably is paler than yours."

"Who said your face is paler than mine! No, wait..." Jin Fan suddenly realized. "Who’s comparing faces with you! I’m here to warn you: you’d better stay away from my great-grandma! Or I won’t be so polite!"

Chen Yan was amused by Jin Fan’s words. "So you’re that kid from the Jin family? It seems you’re quite happy being Shen Zhiyao’s grandson!"

"Of course!" Jin Fan said proudly.

Chen Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Goodbye, grandson!"

With that, Chen Yan turned and walked away.

Only then did Jin Fan realize. "Who are you calling grandson? Why don’t you just go die somewhere? Hey! Tell me where my great-grandma is! Stop! You, stop right there!"

「...」

Shen Zhiyao had known all along that Jin Fan would arrange an ostentatious and awkward fleet of cars for her. The thought was so mortifying that she took a side path and left directly.

Besides not wanting to face the embarrassment, she also had a promise to keep with her fans. Based on proximity, she was supposed to find Shoucai first, then Fa Cai.

As soon as she got off the ship, she hailed a taxi. Half an hour later, she arrived at Shoucai’s location.

It was already 7:30 p.m.

Seeing Shen Zhiyao appear, a look of pleasant surprise crossed Shoucai’s face. "Streamer, you actually came!"

During their call that day, Shen Zhiyao had said she would perform a salvation ritual for the infant girl after she returned.

Later, Shen Zhiyao’s popularity skyrocketed, putting her on par with A-list celebrities.

Shoucai had thought Shen Zhiyao wouldn’t come.

He never expected Shen Zhiyao to arrive as promised. Shoucai was overjoyed.

"Streamer, you’re much prettier in person than on TV! My kid is a huge fan of yours!" He had seen Shen Zhiyao many times in her stream, but seeing her in person was a different experience.

In real life, she was a stunning beauty you couldn’t forget after a single glance. Her aura, in particular, was aloof and noble, deterring any disrespectful thoughts.

Shen Zhiyao said, "Let’s go. Take me to the basement to have a look."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

As Shoucai led the way, he recounted the events of the past few days.

That night, after Shen Zhiyao divined that there were five dead infant girls inside the load-bearing wall, Shoucai immediately called the police.

The police used detectors and confirmed that there were indeed bodies buried underground.

Due to the gravity of the situation, the police immediately sealed off the basement.

For the past few days, construction experts had been trying to figure out a solution.

They finally came up with a perfect plan and scheduled structural modifications for the next day to retrieve the infant girls.

As soon as they entered the underground garage, a bone-chilling wind blew past them.

The area around the five load-bearing walls was cordoned off with police tape, forbidding unauthorized personnel from approaching.

Shoucai was a bit timid. Even with Shen Zhiyao by his side, he couldn’t help but tremble with fear.

Shen Zhiyao gave him a faint glance and said, "You can just stand here."

Shoucai said, "Then... I’ll have to trouble you. I really am a coward. Lately, I keep dreaming about the infant girl climbing onto my bed and crying. It’s scaring me to death! I... I don’t dare go over there... I really don’t."

Shen Zhiyao didn’t say anything and walked directly toward one of the walls.

As soon as she approached, she heard an infant’s cry coming from beneath the pillar. "Mommy, Mommy! Save me! It hurts so much! Let me out, hurry and let me out!"

Shen Zhiyao formed a hand seal and began to break the seal on the pillar.

The resentment of the infants here was too strong. Even if released, they wouldn’t be able to reincarnate.

Once Shen Zhiyao broke the seal, she could perform a salvation ritual for the infants to help them reincarnate.

After breaking the seal, she prepared to rescue the trapped infant girl. But as soon as she reached out her hand, a powerful force pushed her back.

Just as she was about to act, she saw the character for "Law" materialize on the wall, only to quickly disappear.

’The Judicial Sect.’ The name immediately came to Shen Zhiyao’s mind.

Previously, Old Zhang’s son had picked up some gold on the street and was nearly killed for it.

And Zhang Lin, the one who paid to have him killed, had repeatedly claimed to be a member of the Judicial Sect.

After Zhang Lin and his mother died, the police had even questioned her about it.

A special talisman had been used in the load-bearing wall, burying living people beneath the pillar and then using the talisman to trap them there.

’This technique... it feels a bit like... Chen Xu.’

After thinking for a moment, she called Chen Yan.

After hearing her out, Chen Yan said, "You saw correctly. That is indeed the mark of the Judicial Sect; it’s their special symbol. Don’t do anything yet. Wait for me."

「Half an hour later」

Chen Yan arrived as promised.

He was wearing a black overcoat with a white sweater and black trousers underneath. The clothes looked expensive, but on his feet was a pair of cheap comfort shoes.

His outfit had the style of a male lead from a Korean drama, but the shoes on his feet were a bit... too ugly!

She was a little surprised to see Chen Yan arrive so quickly.

Chen Yan said, "I’m in Beijing City, so I was very close. I came over as soon as you called."

Shen Zhiyao said, "I’ve inspected all five load-bearing walls. Each one has the special mark of the Judicial Sect. I suspect it’s to prevent people from Xuanmen from seeing through the formation here and releasing the infant girls."

For an ordinary Xuanmen member, that talisman would be extremely difficult to break.

But for Shen Zhiyao, it was a piece of cake.

She couldn’t quite understand why Chen Yan was so nervous, repeatedly warning her not to break the talismans.

Chen Yan explained, "Breaking it isn’t hard, but it’s linked to the caster. If you break the spell by force, the caster will be alerted. You’ll bring big trouble upon yourself then!"

Shen Zhiyao smiled. "And you think I would be afraid?"

Chen Yan said, "With your abilities, of course you have no need to be afraid. But the people around you don’t share your skills, and you can’t keep those two ghosts by your side at all times, can you?"

Shen Zhiyao’s expression instantly turned serious. "Are you saying they would retaliate against the people around me?"

Chen Yan nodded.
