Sirens wailed all around.
The police questioned Liu Ning.
After the police finished their questioning, Liu Ning called Zhan Xiaojun.
“Miss Zhan, my life now belongs to you!”
If it weren’t for Miss Zhan’s safety amulet, he might be dead by now.
Such accidents could easily claim lives.
His unnamed female colleague had died on the spot.
The flowerpot wasn't the only one that fell.
Another one followed, close to him, yet it didn’t harm him at all.
In such a situation, he knew the safety amulet had worked.
It was just like when Aunt Liu was in the car accident.
“Be cautious and discreet during this period. It’s best not to get too close to women, otherwise, you’ll face more bloodshed. The safety amulet can help you once, but not a second time in a short period,” Zhan Xiaojun advised.
“Yes, yes, yes, Miss Zhan. I’ll listen to whatever you say now!” Liu Ning thought, what women? Even if a woman with a great figure were to strip naked in front of him, he wouldn’t even glance at her.
His life was more important!
If not for Miss Zhan’s safety amulet, he would be a corpse right now.
The thought of being a corpse sent a cold sweat down his spine.
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Xiaojun performed a divination.
Just as she had suspected, Liu Ning was indeed facing a blood disaster soon; surviving one meant a second would follow.
As long as he gave in to lust, it would be no different from seeking death.
She pondered for a moment and then sent Liu Ning a WeChat message.
“I just performed a divination and calculated that you will face several life-threatening dangers recently. Within a month, you absolutely must not succumb to lust.”
Upon seeing the WeChat message, Liu Ning quickly replied with a series of "okay" emojis.
He then proceeded to delete all the photos of women on his phone.
He also deleted his WeChat account.
He had someone invite him to a bar tonight, but he rejected all of them.
Now, besides his boss’s words, he would only listen to Miss Zhan! He wouldn’t listen to anyone else! No one else’s words would matter!
…
In the evening.
Before Zhan Xiaojun began the acupuncture for Ning Yecheng, he brought up the matter.
“You could predict that Liu Ning and the others would encounter danger. Can you also see if there will be any changes for me recently?”
Zhan Xiaojun shook her head. “It’s strange, I can’t calculate anything about you.”
From the first time they met, his face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. Whenever she tried to read his fortune or divine for him, she found him to be an enigma.
It was as if he shouldn’t exist in this world.
It was incredibly peculiar.
Perhaps her skills were not proficient enough.
If Uncle Ji Rong were to look, it wouldn't be like this.
After all, she had only learned the superficial aspects from Uncle Ji Rong.
“You can’t calculate for me?” Ning Yecheng didn’t seem surprised. He continued, “In the past, some masters tried to tell my fortune, or some people with intentions took my birth details to try and manipulate me. None of them succeeded. I apprehended one of them, and do you know what he said?”
“He said you shouldn’t be alive in this world right now?” Zhan Xiaojun chuckled.
In fact, situations like Ning Yecheng’s weren’t unheard of, but they were very rare in the mortal realm.
He transcended the calculations of fortune-telling masters.
His destiny was not predetermined by heaven, but by himself.
She didn’t know if this was a good or bad thing for him.
“You guessed correctly. That’s exactly what he said.” Ning Yecheng smiled. As expected, these things couldn’t be hidden from her; she would guess them all.
Zhan Xiaojun also smiled and then took out her silver needles. “It’s almost time. I’ll give you acupuncture first.”
As soon as she took out the silver needles, Ning Yecheng grabbed her hand.
“Actually, I don’t need acupuncture. I can sleep very well just by holding you,” Ning Yecheng said in a low voice.
The day she was drunk, although he didn’t do anything, holding her and listening to her even breathing calmed his mind, and he slept soundly the whole night.
Zhan Xiaojun’s face flushed. “I’m not medicine.”
This man always managed to make her heart race with his unintentional actions.
“You are.” Ning Yecheng leaned closer.
He domineeringly pecked her red lips.
But a light kiss was clearly not enough for him.
He directly pulled Zhan Xiaojun into his embrace.
Deepening the kiss.
It was passionate and lingering.
Zhan Xiaojun felt the changes in his body and dared not move.
Closing her eyes, she surrendered to him, forgetting everything, sinking…
…
Hospital.
In just a few days, Wang Ke had gone from a pampered lady of leisure to a worn-out housewife who had to run errands in the hospital.
Zhan Zhicheng had been unconscious for several days and hadn’t woken up.
They had managed to save him.
But they were told to prepare money for a heart transplant surgery.
It was at this time that Wang Ke discovered they were out of money.
She only had the few hundred thousand in her bank card.
Half of that amount had been spent at the hospital in the last two days.
There was no money to afford a private room for Zhan Zhicheng, so he had to share a room with several other patients.
Wang Ke had to shuttle back and forth between home and the hospital.
She actually didn’t want to bother with Zhan Zhicheng anymore, but she didn’t have much money. In the past two days, she had also heard that Zhan Xiaojun and Ning Yecheng were getting engaged. If she took good care of Zhan Zhicheng, perhaps Zhan Zhicheng could beg Zhan Xiaojun, and their family might have a good future in Yancheng.
Otherwise, if they left Yancheng, they would be finished.
Just then, Zhan Xiaoya rushed in.
She was still carrying a suitcase.
“Mom? What happened to our villa? And my dad, wasn’t my dad always in good health?” Zhan Xiaoya questioned Wang Ke as soon as she burst in.
The moment she finished speaking, Zhan Xiaoya saw the Wang Ke, who looked over a decade older, and Zhan Zhicheng lying in bed with a ventilator, and was stunned.
Hearing Zhan Xiaoya’s voice, Wang Ke quickly turned around, her eyes reddened. “Xiaoya, Mom has finally waited for you to return! Too many changes have happened in our family these past few days. The villa was taken to cover debts.”
“Mom, is our family really finished? Will my dad really never be able to return to the Zhan Corporation?” Zhan Xiaoya asked incredulously.
She couldn’t believe it. Everything was fine when she went abroad, so how had it become like this now?
Wang Ke sighed. “Xiaoya, this is the most difficult time for our family. Your dad doesn’t even have money for surgery now.”
“What?!” Zhan Xiaoya was incredulous. She couldn’t accept that her family had become so poor!
They were so poor they didn’t even have money for surgery!
“Is it all because of Zhan Xiaojun? She made Ning Yecheng target our family! I’m going to find her! No, I’m going to find Ning Yecheng and let him know what kind of person Zhan Xiaojun is. He’s been deceived by Zhan Xiaojun!” Zhan Xiaoya roared.
Then, she threw the suitcase in the ward and, disregarding Wang Ke’s attempts to stop her, left the room.
She headed straight for Ning Corporation.
It was currently working hours, she had to see Ning Yecheng!
She had to let Ning Yecheng know Zhan Xiaojun’s true face!
She also wanted Ning Yecheng to fall for her!
She was going to prevent Ning Yecheng and Zhan Xiaojun from getting engaged!
