Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!-Chapter 999: Seeing Through Karma For You Will Shorten Your Lifespan

Bao Gucheng looked at those captivating and seductive movie titles, his brow furrowing:

"The Devil is Above, I am Below", "The Chief Husband is Too Flirtatious", "The Deadly Poison Doctor: The Patron’s Secret Lover"...

They’re too indecorous. Nowadays, people who make movies have no sense of style in naming them. Which man would take his girlfriend to see them?

His gaze swept past a row of explosive movie titles when suddenly a few words caught his eye, "My Lady is Pretending to be a Slacker Again"...

For some reason, these plain and warm words were rather pleasing to the eye. He clicked to open, and the film synopsis seemed quite normal, like a positive story about a disabled male lead persevering to protect the growth of the female lead, ultimately achieving happiness.

With long fingers sweeping across the screen, the man sought Zuzi’s opinion: "Miss Zuzi, what do you think of this one? Morning show, just in time for lunch afterward."

Zuzi wasn’t very experienced with watching movies and glanced at the screen: "Hmm, Xiao Chenger can arrange it as he pleases."

Bao Gucheng didn’t delegate the task to others but personally booked the tickets, controlling the plane’s joystick with one hand while the other selected the time and picked couple’s seating.

Although booking a private theater was simpler, it lacked the flavor of a date.

He wanted to experience the charm of ordinary life with her and also wished to be the first man to accompany her in trying the couple’s seating.

"Has Xiao Chenger’s matter been settled?" Zuzi remembered to ask him.

Bao Gucheng knew she was referring to the investigation of the bones’ culprit, and he nodded slightly, seriously: "Thanks to Miss Zuzi’s guidance, the Old President has confirmed it wasn’t his hand-signed order. Unfortunately, Secretary Zhao, who forged the signature, committed suicide on the spot. To prevent the clues from being completely cut off, we are now investigating account transactions and communication records."

What was originally a highly confidential work arrangement, he openly shared with her.

Zuzi did not seem surprised, looking out at the eye-shading clouds outside the plane’s window, she slowly spoke: "Xiao Chenger, sometimes the truth can make the heart more painful. If that’s the case, will you still pursue it to the end?"

Bao Gucheng pressed his thin lips tightly, replying in a deep voice: "If I don’t get to the bottom of it, I won’t feel at peace in this life. I will accept any result."

Zuzi extended her jade-like wrist, brushing over his shoulder, nodding in understanding: "As long as Xiao Chenger is mentally prepared."

She just couldn’t help but offer him some comfort.

Actually, with his limited lifespan, why add more pain?

Bao Gucheng felt the soft, boneless touch of her jade wrist and then faced Zuzi’s lips, which seemed to want to speak but hesitated. His heart leaped, unable to resist, he asked in curiosity: "Miss Zuzi, have you guessed something? Can you give me a hint?"

Her premonitions were always super accurate, as everyone could see.

Could the real culprit have a significant connection to him?

Is that why she had always encouraged his investigation and now suddenly advises him to think carefully?

Who knew, Zuzi shook her head: "The entanglements of cause and effect in this world are very complex. Ancestor just feels that you’re close to reaching what you want, but the result may not be as you wish, and I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed and in pain. Ancestor can help you see the result clearly, but it would come at the cost of your lifespan, so it’s better not to look, let nature take its course."

If she could use her immortal power to directly help Xiao Chenger find the real culprit, it would undoubtedly be more convenient. But for him, losing even more of his already limited lifespan would be too cruel.

She couldn’t bear to do that.

Bao Gucheng understood the meaning behind her words and stopped asking: "Alright, let it be. I’ll do my best to investigate."

He wasn’t afraid of death, or of a short life, but he didn’t want to lose the precious time being with her.

If he were destined to die tomorrow, then tonight he would stay by her side without leaving.

How could he choose to know the truth prematurely and be separated from her?
