Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 176 - 149: Aren’t I Just an Ordinary Person?
Although in the end, Li Shang didn’t really do anything to Zhu Yue.
The main reason was that she still remembered Mu Yunchu’s recent admonition not to harm ordinary people, so she dared not go too far.
But it was as if she had nowhere to vent her anger and lost the mood to continue shopping.
"This is really too lenient for that woman!"
"I should have shown her something powerful so she wouldn’t dare to wrongly accuse others next time."
It was clearly her boyfriend’s problem, yet she blamed others.
However, what she didn’t expect was that Mu Yunchu used a ’Bad Luck Curse’ on Zhu Yue.
Without any trigger, once used, the target would become very unlucky but not be in any life-threatening danger.
"It’s just an hour, so it’s a lesson for her."
Mu Yunchu said, a faint smile on her face.
Li Shang was stunned and a bit puzzled.
"Didn’t you say you shouldn’t harm ordinary people?"
"Yeah." Mu Yunchu blinked, "Aren’t I an ordinary person myself?"
Li Shang: "..."
Then she tapped her head before Li Shang could react.
"Alright, let’s finish shopping quickly and leave."
While they were busy, Mu Yunchu called out to Wen Xu, who was about to leave.
After all, he was just about to lend her a hand.
So it was only right for her to express gratitude.
"Have you eaten, Forensic Investigator Wen?"
Wen Xu’s gaze returned from Ye Zhixia, who was held by Li Shang.
Clearly, he wasn’t interested in Mu Yunchu’s invitation.
"Sorry, I’m not in the habit of eating out with others."
Even Zhou Zhicheng from the police station couldn’t do it.
"Besides, I didn’t really help much."
She handled everything herself.
"There’s no need for a meal."
Wen Xu refused her softly. With one hand in his pocket and holding two bags with the other, his charming eyes kept glancing at Ye Zhixia uncontrollably.
"This person is..."
"My employee." Mu Yunchu snapped in.
"Ah..." Wen Xu nodded. He didn’t know what else to say, especially when he felt eyes from people around them.
Because standing face to face, they looked captivating together, even passersby couldn’t help but stare for a moment.
Wen Xu wanted to say he had seen Ye Zhixia before.
In Mu Yunchu’s livestream.
At that time, netizens speculated he wasn’t a living person...
Because of his sensitivity to ghosts and the coincidental encounter today, Wen Xu wanted to inquire.
But Mu Yunchu misunderstood, thinking he wanted to ask about insomnia.
She directly took out a piece of talisman paper, "You can try this."
The yellow talisman paper was covered with special red symbols, elegantly held by her white fingers. Wen Xu looked down and subconsciously accepted it.
He thought it would be inappropriate to refuse in this situation.
So he hesitantly put it away.
By now, Li Shang and others had finished selecting clothes.
As she approached, her eyes glanced back and forth between Mu Yunchu and Wen Xu, a somewhat ambiguous smile on her face.
"Is Forensic Investigator Wen going to eat hot pot with us?"
She thought he was joining them for a meal because he hadn’t left.
Before coming here, Li Shang had already discussed with Mu Yunchu about eating at a hot pot restaurant on the mall’s basement floor.
Now, she was already eager with anticipation.
Thinking of that richly flavored spicy smell, her eyes glowed.
But in Wen Xu’s mind, a scene from a previous case flashed by.
He quickly shook his head.
His refusal was much more straightforward than before.
He also lost interest in figuring out Ye Zhixia, turned, and wanted to leave.
But since there was only one stairway down, they had to walk together for a while.
When they reached the first floor, Mu Yunchu and Wen Xu, who were walking ahead, received a flyer simultaneously.
The former thought it was a restaurant recommendation nearby.
The latter, recognizant of the content, slowly took it.
"What is this..."
Before Mu Yunchu could finish reading, the curious Li Shang squeezed her head over.
"Is it something delicious?"
The person distributing the flyers, a young man, saw their interest and quickly said, "Hello, this is about the charity event our mall is hosting today."
"Charity event?" Li Shang’s voice visibly dimmed.
Raising his hand that didn’t hold a flyer, he pointed to a large open area in the distance, "There’s a donation event there, and you can get a souvenir with your donation. You might want to check it out."
Seizing the moment, he handed a flyer to everyone present.
Large department store rental fees are usually very high.
Usually, large brands would rent them for events.
Because this location is a must-pass for people, offering excellent exposure.
Yet, this mall was willing to host charity work.
Coincidentally, when Mu Yunchu walked over, she spotted it was associated with the donation software she frequently used.
They had printed out numerous projects from the platform, pasted on the advertising wall, and the high-definition colored pictures made choosing easier.
Mu Yunchu immediately noticed a picture of the orphanage featured prominently.
A woman in her forties was embracing a young child, facing the camera, with the sunset by the river behind them, smiling joyously.
Noticing her gaze, Li Shang also looked over.
Glancing at the brief biography below, she was a little moved.
"So young, yet she runs an orphanage alone; that’s really tough."
Especially since she’s doing it on her own, taking care of so many kids without families, it can’t be easy.
Seeing the reason for the donations, it seemed the orphanage was overcrowded, and they wanted to build another dormitory.
It’s not a small amount.
Particularly for an orphanage.
Even self-built houses in the towns cost several tens of thousands.
Most of those drawn in were focusing on the orphanage.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure move, and Mu Yunchu instinctively reached out to grab Wen Xu’s arm.
Already unused to physical contact, Wen Xu was startled.
He looked down at the hand gripping his arm before raising his head, puzzled by Mu Yunchu’s action.
"Are you going to donate?"
Wen Xu tacitly agreed.
"To this orphanage?"
Wen Xu blinked; although not very patient, he did not pull his arm away.
"What is it?" he asked.
Just as Mu Yunchu was about to explain, both of their phones rang at the same time.
Mu Yunchu’s call was from Zhou Zhicheng.
Wen Xu’s caller ID showed Hu Chi’s name.
Both had to pause their current conversation and turn to answer their phones.
Wen Xu withdrew his arm, somewhat absent-mindedly eyeing the creased part of his sleeve, then picked up the call.
"What’s up?"
"I’m at... Alright, let Captain Zhou know I’ll return to the precinct soon."
On Mu Yunchu’s side, it wasn’t as calm.
As soon as she picked up, the sound of howling wind, mixed with a noisy crowd, reached her ear.
A few seconds later, Zhou Zhicheng’s voice came through.
"Not good, Miss Mu!"
"That little boy you asked us to look after, something happened to him!"
