I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams-Chapter 181: There’s a Ghost in the Office

"Damn, your foresight is god-tier! You even brought a power bank. Still, we should conserve the battery. We need it to last until tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished, Shen Zhiyao went live online.

The director, worried about the phone’s battery, said, "Going live is a huge waste of power. We’re running for our lives right now, and the production team already suspended the broadcast. Why are you still streaming?"

Shen Zhiyao said, "I’m not streaming for the variety show. It’s time for my personal stream."

"Huh?" The director was still trying to process what she’d said.

Shen Zhiyao explained, "I promised my fans I’d stream every night. It’s already 11 PM, way past my usual start time. I need to go live."

For a moment, the director was at a loss for words.

The entire production team was scared out of their wits by the sudden turn of events.

But here was Shen Zhiyao, coolly starting her stream.

’Such dedication!’

Sun Yingbin was a viewer of Shen Zhiyao’s streams, but he didn’t think it was a good idea to go live under these circumstances.

He tried to reason with her, "Those people want to kill us. Is it really a good idea to be live-streaming right now?"

Shen Zhiyao glanced around. "That group already left. They’ve moved over there to search for us, so it’s safe here for now. Also..."

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon Zhao Jing. Blood was still trickling down Zhao Jing’s forehead, and combined with the exhaustion from their flight, she was weak. If she had to run any further, she would likely collapse.

"Zhao Jing is in no condition to run anymore. If her wound splits open again, she could die from blood loss."

The moment the stream went live, the viewer count skyrocketed.

The *Qing Qing Wo Wo* production had been hit by a sudden disaster. Meng Xiaoxiao had been taken, and her fans were frantic with worry about her condition. Other netizens were also concerned.

And now, Shen Zhiyao’s stream was the only place to see what was happening to the crew.

The chat was scrolling frantically, with everyone asking about their current situation and what they were going to do.

Shen Zhiyao said, "We’ve found a place to hide, so there are no major issues at the moment. But don’t worry, everyone. The director has already contacted our staff back home, and they’ve dispatched people to help. This whole situation will be dealt with tomorrow."

We have to wait until tomorrow? What about Xiao Xiao? I hope nothing bad happens to her!

What kind of shithole country is this! Those people just took our goddess away! I wonder how Meng Xiaoxiao is doing right now.

I’m so worried about Meng Xiaoxiao too. She must have been terrified when all that chaos broke out.

Xiao Xiao is such a sweet girl, my heart breaks for her. Why are you still streaming?! You should be rushing to save Meng Xiaoxiao!

Many people had been taken, but Meng Xiaoxiao was the most famous, so everyone was especially worried about her.

Shen Zhiyao said, "Meng Xiaoxiao is fine right now. You don’t need to worry."

Fuck, you’re not the one who got captured. What are you even talking about!

Exactly. Easy for you to say. You’d be singing a different tune if you were the one who got taken.

And to think Xiao Xiao was so nice to you! Now she’s in trouble and you’re doing nothing. You’re breaking our hearts! I was even shipping you two as a CP, but now I just want to say: Ship my ass! You fucking idiot!

Are you people sick in the head?! Our streamer is just one woman, what do you expect her to do? If you’re so tough, go save her yourselves!

If I were there, I would’ve definitely gone to save her!

Are you kidding me? There are only a few of them. Trying to rescue someone would be a suicide mission.

Seeing how worried everyone was about Meng Xiaoxiao, Shen Zhiyao explained, "Don’t worry. Anyone else might be in trouble, but Meng Xiaoxiao won’t be."

"Enough chit-chat. Let’s begin today’s first reading. As for those who want to know what happens next with Meng Xiaoxiao, you can follow the official *Qing Qing Wo Wo* updates tomorrow."

Don’t talk about tomorrow! Go save Meng Xiaoxiao right now! Weren’t you so capable yesterday, leading her up a 2,000-meter mountain? Go save her!

Damn it, Shen Zhiyao, if you don’t save Meng Xiaoxiao, I’ll lose all respect for you!

Whoa, did you all get kicked in the head by a donkey or something?

This is Shen Zhiyao’s stream! Can you stop talking about other people? If you don’t like it, then leave!

Shen Zhiyao ignored Meng Xiaoxiao’s fans and began to select the first caller for a video reading.

Soon, the video connected to a man in a sharp suit. His username was "Fa Cai!"

Seeing the name, the viewers in the chat were amused.

This has to be scripted by the streamer, right? First there was a guy named Shoucai, and now there’s a Fa Cai. How fitting!

Is Shoucai going to show up next?

No way. This isn’t scripted. The streamer’s readings are all real. How could it be such a coincidence!

That name is the same as my dog’s! I’m dying of laughter!

Fa Cai explained, "My business ventures kept failing, and I made my wife and child suffer along with me. I felt incredibly guilty about it. So, I picked this username, hoping to change my financial luck so my wife wouldn’t have to endure hardship with me anymore. By the way, Streamer, I was hoping you could take a look at my feng shui."

He was in an office and panned his phone camera around the room.

"After working my butt off for over a decade, I finally bought this office building. Streamer, what do you think? The renovations aren’t bad, right? I bought the entire building. But the strange thing is, for the past six months, weird things have been happening here, and my company has been plagued with problems."

At first, the company’s stock price plummeted.

Then, the employees started having all sorts of problems.

Some said that when they worked overtime at night, they would always hear the sound of a baby crying. It was incredibly creepy. Other employees kept getting injured on the premises, and the company’s elevators would malfunction for no apparent reason.

The employees whispered amongst themselves, wondering if the office was haunted. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

When Fa Cai heard about it, he chewed out the two employees who were spreading rumors, telling them to focus on their work and not be superstitious.

But less than two days later, Fa Cai himself heard a baby crying in his office.

At first, he thought an employee’s child had fallen and gotten hurt, but he searched the entire office and couldn’t find any child.

Then he realized it was already midnight. His employees had all gone home long ago, and it was time for him to leave as well.

He caught up to the last employee leaving for the night, a woman, but she didn’t have any children and definitely wouldn’t have brought one to the office.

If it wasn’t human, then what was crying?

At that thought, his scalp tingled with fear.

Later, he hired several feng shui masters, but nothing worked. The strange occurrences at the company continued.

Later still, he came across Shen Zhiyao’s live stream while browsing online. He decided to give it a shot and tried to get a call with her, hoping she could check his company’s feng shui.

After trying to get through for several days, he finally connected, much to the envy of many of her other fans.

Having said all this, Fa Cai finished panning his phone around the office and asked Shen Zhiyao, "So, Streamer? How does it look? Is there a problem? If I hadn’t gotten through to you, I wouldn’t even dare to be in the office right now."

Shen Zhiyao had already gotten a clear look. "The problem isn’t here," she said.

Fa Cai quickly asked, "What do you mean? Then what’s causing all the things I’ve been experiencing?"

Shen Zhiyao asked a question, "This building is new construction, isn’t it?"

"Yes, it’s new construction. The location is great, and it was very cheap, so I bought the whole thing." Fa Cai immediately caught on. "Streamer, are you saying there’s a problem with the building’s foundation?"

Shen Zhiyao didn’t answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Do you have a pen on you? Grab one and go down to the basement. I’ll tell you there."

Fa Cai didn’t understand why Shen Zhiyao wanted him to bring a pen downstairs, but he did as he was told.
