I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams-Chapter 138: Qing Qing Wo Wo Is About to Air
After the white-robed ghost closed the door, her heart was still THUMP-THUMP-THUMPING. "Holy crap! That cop was a real pain. Immortal, you’re amazing. You have nerves of steel!"
Shen Zhiyao said, "I haven’t broken any laws. Why should I be afraid?"
Zhang Lin and her son had committed suicide; she hadn’t laid a hand on them.
In fact, even if Zhang Lin and her son hadn’t killed themselves, she still wouldn’t have killed them directly.
After all, she respected the laws of this world.
Her trip out last night was merely to save Zhang Si’s life and to stop Zhang Lin from finding someone else to die in her son’s place.
Of course, she couldn’t say any of this out loud, or it would attract unnecessary trouble.
She also knew the police would check the hallway surveillance footage, so she had destroyed the cameras.
She had originally planned to destroy the intersection’s surveillance cameras as well, but she divined that a small accident would occur there.
Although it wouldn’t be serious, the lack of camera footage would negatively affect the people involved.
Therefore, Shen Zhiyao left the intersection cameras intact, which allowed the police to find her.
She hadn’t gotten into trouble this time, but if this happened too often, the police would definitely start to suspect her.
’I just remembered,’ she thought, ’when I killed Chen Xu, there were so many surveillance cameras on the surrounding roads.’
’There was no trouble afterward. I wonder what methods Chen Yan used to avoid alerting the police.’
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day before the premiere of *Qing Qing Wo Wo*.
All the fans were eagerly awaiting this day. Whether they were haters or true fans, everyone was paying extra close attention to the weather.
Strangely enough, ever since Shen Zhiyao predicted it would rain on September 30th, the following ten-plus days had all been bright and sunny.
The haters were full of scorn, and a trending topic even appeared on Weibo: #How nice, Miss Shen, it’s another beautiful day!
The tension was palpable.
「September 30th finally arrived.」
Meanwhile, the sissy who had deliberately sought out Shen Zhiyao to have her predict the weather had ridden the wave of popularity, gaining over 200,000 new followers on Weibo.
Riding this wave of traffic, he accepted over a dozen advertisements and promotions, making a lot of money.
For some reason, though, his heart had been pounding since before dawn, and he had a vague, bad feeling.
Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, he stood watch by his window for several hours. At last, he saw a hint of light in the eastern sky. Soon, the sun emerged from the clouds, and the entire sky instantly burst with brilliant golden light.
The dazzling light made it hard for him to keep his eyes open, and the temperature gradually began to rise. The sissy’s mood was better than ever.
"Just as I thought. The weather should be this good for the premiere of *Qing Qing Wo Wo*."
As long as it stayed sunny today and the show premiered smoothly, Shen Zhiyao’s prediction would be a failure.
No matter how accurate her previous divinations were, as long as she failed this one time, her reputation would completely collapse.
Those fans who defended her would be too embarrassed to make a peep online.
The sissy had even contacted Weibo’s content promoters and arranged for them, after today, to repost and promote the screen recording of the live-streamed call where he’d challenged Shen Zhiyao to predict the weather.
The more ruthlessly Shen Zhiyao was proven wrong, the better his mood would be.
At that point, he would be able to gain a lot of benefits at Shen Zhiyao’s expense.
At this thought, the sissy’s mood soared. He sang a smug little tune as he walked out the door.
As he passed through a courtyard, he saw an old man sighing as he cooled off in the shade of a tree.
"The sun is so harsh today. It’s definitely going to be a scorcher. It would be great if we could get a heavy downpour around noon."
Hearing this, the sissy’s eyes widened. "Sir, why would you want it to rain on such a beautiful day? Sir, you’re not a fan of that charlatan, are you?"
In his mind, only Shen Zhiyao’s fans would be hoping for rain.
The old man was baffled. "Huh? A fan? What are you talking about? Are you saying you’re going to buy me some noodles?"
The sissy instantly brightened up. "Oh, so you’re not. Then why are you sitting here sighing and wishing for rain? A sunny day is so much better. It’s more convenient for going out."
The old man fanned himself and said, "You’re only thinking about how convenient it is for you to go out. Have you ever considered that if it doesn’t rain for a long time, the crops in the fields will wither and die? The farmers won’t be able to harvest a single grain. Sigh... It’s so worrying..."
The sissy held up his pinky, grinned sleazily, and said in a nasally, affected voice, "Heheheh, so what if the farmers’ crops die? Let them die! They should all just go out and get a job!"
The old man instantly flew into a rage. "If the land yields no harvest, you’re the one who should starve to death first, you little bastard!"
With that, the sissy turned tail and ran.
...
Jin Fan had also been watching the weather since before dawn. Seeing another bright, sunny day, he frantically called Shen Zhiyao.
"Ancestral Grandma, could your divination have been wrong? Why is it another sunny day? Ah, it’s not that I don’t believe you, I’m just worried about you! The head of Mango TV and the producer of *Qing Qing Wo Wo* have been reposting the weather forecast since early this morning, complete with pictures of the sunny sky. They’re clearly joining the haters to stir up trouble! I got so mad I made a dozen posts on my feed cursing out the head of Mango TV. Not only that, I even bought a bunch of those sunny-weather dolls and have been praying for rain with them at my home and office. I’m doing my best to help you pray for rain."
"Jin Fan... that’s really not necessary..."
"Ancestral Grandma, don’t be a stranger! No need to thank me! I’ll always support you. I support everything you do."
"I wasn’t planning on thanking you!" Shen Zhiyao chuckled softly. "I just think what you’re doing is a little... childish. Like a kid."
Jin Fan: "..."
But it was, after all, a gesture from the heart, so Shen Zhiyao appreciated the thought.
Shen Zhiyao sighed. "Don’t worry. It will rain today at 12:30 PM."
Shen Zhiyao’s words were like a tranquilizer for Jin Fan, instantly calming him.
"By the way, Ancestral Grandma, *Qing Qing Wo Wo* premieres today. It’s also your debut. Have you prepared your entrance?"
Shen Zhiyao replied, "I’ve been busy lately, so I haven’t. Why?"
Hearing that Shen Zhiyao hadn’t prepared anything, Jin Fan was instantly relieved.
"That’s great, that’s great. I’ve already sent someone to pick you up. For your debut, I’ve been racking my brains to give you a stunning entrance! I’ve designed a spectacular one that will guarantee everyone remembers you!"
After hanging up, he immediately posted on Weibo: [Today’s weather isn’t sunny, it’s RAIN!]
He then posted a screenshot from a video, one he had secretly saved during the live stream.
He had taken many screenshots at the time, and each one looked beautiful on its own. Unfortunately, Shen Zhiyao wasn’t very photogenic; the camera couldn’t even capture a tenth of her beauty.
’I wonder if the variety show’s cameras will be able to make her look better,’ he thought.
As soon as the Weibo post went up, many comments appeared below it.
The first few comments were from Jin Fan’s cronies, who naturally liked the post and then published a series of flattering remarks.
Jin Fan was very satisfied and liked their comments in return.
Jin Huai Zhong also liked his son’s post. Although he didn’t leave a comment, this silent support was enough to shut up those who were making snide remarks.
Even if other business tycoons had their own opinions, they didn’t dare voice them in front of Jin Huai Zhong.
There was also a large group of netizens hurling particularly nasty insults at him.
Quite a few people also flocked to the sissy’s Weibo page to thank him for bravely stepping up to expose the charlatan’s true face.
As for the comments on Shen Zhiyao’s Weibo, they were even worse. All sorts of vile and abusive things were being said.
Fortunately, Shen Zhiyao didn’t log in to Weibo, so she was fine as long as she didn’t see the comments.
