Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 123 - 96: She Wants to Traffick You

"Instead, she wants to traffic you."

[???]

Yang Yutong: ???

Her brain inevitably froze for a while.

Traffic who?

Me?

Seemingly noticing her surprise, Mu Yunchu began to explain.

"You just said that this colleague kept inviting you to a certain restaurant for dinner, right?"

"Is there something wrong with the restaurant?" Yang Yutong pressed on.

"No. The problem is with the car."

[It turns out the restaurant wasn’t the issue? I just heard from someone that person persistently recommended a mutton restaurant to her. I thought the restaurant was the problem.]

Yang Yutong furrowed her brow in thought.

Then her eyes suddenly widened as if she had realized something.

"Now that you mention it, I remember."

"One Friday after work, she insisted on dragging me to that restaurant."

Frankly, I really didn’t want to go.

After all, I could just relax at home after work, but this meant traveling so far.

"Previously, I asked for that restaurant’s address. Not only is it far from my home, but it’s also not close to our workplace—it’s a whole twenty kilometers away."

[? That’s so far? What kind of restaurant is worth traveling that far for?]

"It would waste time, and of course, the cab fare would be quite expensive too."

So she refused.

[Twenty kilometers would probably cost at least forty or fifty bucks by cab. It’s really unnecessary just to go for a meal. Plus, it’s not on the way home, so there’d be extra expense after dinner.]

"But what I didn’t expect was that she said the car was already booked."

"She said she’d take me home after dinner, and I wouldn’t have to spend any money."

At the time, Yang Yutong was indeed a little hesitant.

Mainly because she felt embarrassed.

But thinking about the three-hour plus event, and how the evening coincidentally had two new episodes of her favorite drama, she firmly declined.

"But she didn’t cancel the car."

[But platform cars are assigned randomly. If there’s an issue with the car, how can she ensure it’s her people who come?]

"I didn’t see her ride-booking record on the platform."

I didn’t even think about it at the time.

Because I never intended to take it.

But now that Mu Yunchu has spoken, it indeed feels odd.

"Moreover, it’s also out of her way. If it were a platform booked car, she should have canceled it long ago."

[So it’s really a trafficker?]

[Are traffickers disguised too well these days? Even going as far as getting jobs at companies to roundabout like this.]

[You just don’t get it. If she could really trick her away, she could at least be swapped for hundreds of thousands. Working a few days at a job doesn’t matter; it’s more than what many earn working for years.]

[That’s terrifying. Such things are truly hard to guard against. You should report this quickly, don’t let such people get away.]

Mu Yunchu said: "The one in the car would have been her accomplice. As soon as you got in, your colleague would distract you, and then the driver would drive to an extremely remote place."

Even if Mu Yunchu didn’t elaborate further, everyone could guess what would happen after that.

Either taken to the mountains or trafficked abroad.

Feeling a sudden sense of dread, Yang Yutong’s hair stood on end all over her body.

She thanked Mu Yunchu with a pale face.

"Streamer, thank you for the warning, thank you so much."

She had seen online what happens to those taken into remote mountains.

If she had really agreed out of softness, her life would have been over.

"Actually, you don’t have to thank me that much." Mu Yunchu said faintly, "Even if you hadn’t met me today, you probably wouldn’t have agreed to dinner."

[Yes, previously she always thought the person liked her.]

[Now I really want to interview her. How does it feel to have a suitor turn into a trafficker?]

Though it was said, Yang Yutong still sent several thousand yuan worth of gifts to Mu Yunchu before going offline.

In case one day she had a lapse in judgment. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Now it’s settled. Knowing their intent, she’s going to report it now.

[Seeing her experience indeed serves as a reminder to everyone to stay vigilant when dealing with people. It’s not just colleagues; sometimes, even friends and family can’t be trusted.]

[I’ve experienced this myself. There was a distant cousin’s brother, the kind you only see once or twice during the New Year. A few days ago, he suddenly contacted me, saying he had a highly lucrative job recommendation abroad.]

[Why does that sales pitch sound so familiar? Was it something about earning tens of thousands a month with year-end bonuses as well?]

[Alert for organ trafficking!]

[Pretty much, but I didn’t go. First of all, because my current job isn’t bad, and I also didn’t find him trustworthy.]

[And then?]

[I thought his untrustworthiness was about introducing me to some shady company to make headhunter money. But recently, I heard another distant relative got tricked by him, supposedly taken abroad. They haven’t been contactable since, life status unknown.]

[...It’s not just being in the ’zone’. With so much news reported every year, why are people still blindly jumping in?]

[Bottom line is greed, always thinking a windfall might happen to them.]

Compared to the second reading, the third was much simpler.

The ongoing discussion in the live stream was noticeably less engaged.

So, as the conversation continued, someone brought up the talisman papers sold at Mu Yunchu’s store.

[Oh right! I almost forgot to mention! Streamer, the ’warding off evil spirits’ talisman I bought from you was amazing! I always suspected someone at work was plotting against me. After I got it, he got exposed. Not only can’t he trouble me anymore, but everyone else at the company now knows his true colors, and he’s been completely ostracized.]

[Ward off evil spirits talisman???]

[Yes, yes, and the amulet I bought before. That day when it was pouring rain and the roads were slippery, with lightning—this may be hard to believe, but I still shudder thinking about it. A large tree by the roadside was struck by lightning and fell right onto my car, yet I was unharmed!!! Guess what, when I checked my pocket, the amulet had turned to ash!]

[??? So magical?]

[Is it really only available at the store? I’m too far from the streamer’s city.]

[I wanted to say last time, streamer, could you think of making these things available online, maybe open an online store?]

Mu Yunchu saw this comment and pondered while touching her chin.

This was indeed a method worth considering.

Until the live stream ended, and the screen turned black, she was still thinking about it.

Suddenly, there was an urgent knocking sound at the door.

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice called out through the door:

"Miss Mu, are you inside!?"

"Please, save my family!"
