Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 182 - 155: The Director’s Probe

Although Wen Xu had a moment’s impulse to directly call the police and surround this orphanage, knowing it was a place Mu Yunchu couldn’t figure out, he knew it wouldn’t be that simple to find.

The two rarely sat across from each other discussing a matter like they did now.

Wen Xu: "On your way here, did you notice anything special? That way, I can pay more attention when I pass by tomorrow."

"The most special thing is the omnipresent ’Feng Shui Formation’ in this orphanage," Mu Yunchu recalled things she saw as she entered the yard through the gate, passed the hall and corridor, and finally reached this room.

"Feng Shui Formation?"

Mu Yunchu explained: "A Feng Shui Formation is an essential concept in Feng Shui, referring to a layout method that adjusts the energy field in the environment to improve fortune, health, or wealth."

Wen Xu understood half and half.

"Do you remember what we saw when we walked in from the front courtyard?"

Wen Xu’s eyes drooped slightly as he fell into memory, hesitantly asking after a while: "That pond?"

"Yes." Mu Yunchu nodded in agreement. "To be precise, it’s not just that pond."

"From the rockery arranged in the yard, to the clear pool surrounding it, and the red koi swimming in the water... and finally, the inconspicuous golden toad at the top of the rockery, all are part of this Feng Shui Formation."

With her words, Wen Xu remembered.

It’s just that at the time, the golden toad was facing away from them, so he hadn’t paid attention to that decoration.

"And the ’Five Gods of Wealth Formation’ in the hall. The Treasure Summoning Venerable in the east, the Precious Receiving Venerable in the west, the Wealth Attraction Envoy in the south, the Profit Market Immortal Official in the north, and the Martial God of Wealth Guan Gong in the center, all expecting the aggregation of wealth."

Mu Yunchu only pointed out a few significant arrays, not mentioning the small sporadic ones.

This shows how much the director hopes to become wealthy.

Wen Xu’s voice was as calm as the surface of a deep pool, yet carried an almost imperceptible sarcasm, "The director of a charity orphanage, so obsessed with attracting wealth."

Mu Yunchu was sure that there must be a mysterious advisor behind Zhao Fang.

The arrays she arranged were not something one could set up just by looking online or reading Feng Shui books.

This also confirmed her initial suspicion that there were fellow practitioners nearby.

As they were talking, Mu Yunchu suddenly yawned.

The words Wen Xu wanted to say got swallowed back down his throat.

He changed the subject, "Let’s rest first today."

Then, very consciously, he lay down on the ground with a blanket.

Fortunately, all houses in North City have underfloor heating and radiators, so sleeping like this wasn’t too uncomfortable.

Poor Li Shang, however, had to stay in Mu Yunchu’s hairpin.

Thus, the two humans and one ghost peacefully passed the night.

During the period, Wen Xu hesitated whether to take out Mu Yunchu’s talisman paper to use.

After thinking about it, he gave up.

As he had guessed, nothing happened that night.

He found that as long as he stayed beside Mu Yunchu, those strange things would not happen. Not even the nightmares that used to haunt him every night appeared.

After having two good nights’ sleep, even someone as indifferent as Wen Xu couldn’t help but think: If only his life from now on could be like this, living like a normal person.

But he was just thinking.

After all, even with the talisman’s help at night, during the day those ’things’ would still come out.

After both got up, Zhao Fang knocked on their room door, calling them to breakfast.

This was also Mu Yunchu’s first meeting with the children of the orphanage.

Everyone was in the second-floor dining room, and looking around, there were at least three or four dozen kids, the youngest just three or four years old, the oldest barely over ten.

Despite the number of people, the dining room was not noisy at all.

When Mu Yunchu walked in under Zhao Fang’s lead, all the children were in an orderly queue for food, and those who had been served were sitting quietly in their chairs.

Seeing strangers enter, they appeared clearly timid, their black pupils wildly darting, and if not for the staff calming them, they might have run away in the next second.

Zhao Fang quickly scanned the faces of everyone.

Though she said nothing, the children seemed to get some cue, promptly standing up neatly and politely greeting Mu Yunchu.

Zhao Fang’s face broke into a satisfied smile.

She then said kindly, "Alright, children, sit down and eat, or the porridge will get cold."

Everyone sat down in unison again.

Silently bowing their heads to eat, without uttering a word.

"You two sit too." Zhao Fang invited. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Being guests, Mu Yunchu and the others didn’t need to queue for food; the orphanage staff had prepared everything in advance.

The breakfast wasn’t lavish, but it was hard to find fault.

White porridge, pickled vegetables, flower rolls, and a boiled egg for everyone.

For these children without families, it was quite good.

Before sitting down, Mu Yunchu observed the children’s appearances.

There was no sign of Zhu Wu.

She took a sip of porridge and then casually asked, "Are these all the children in the orphanage?"

Zhao Fang’s smile clearly froze for a moment.

Quickly, she returned to normal.

"No."

Mu Yunchu looked up at her.

Zhao Fang’s expression didn’t change, and her words had no loophole.

"It’s like this, there was a flu spreading around North City a few days ago, and a few children with weaker bodies got sick and haven’t recovered yet. I’m afraid they might infect other kids, as you know, children’s colds aren’t easy to cure, so I separated them."

"The other children are in a special room, receiving treatment and care."

Mu Yunchu noted that when she said this, she emphasized the words ’weaker bodies.’

It was as if she was reminding her not to pick those kids.

However, after she finished speaking, she hurriedly added, "Why don’t I take you to see them after breakfast?"

Zhao Fang’s gaze was pressing, waiting for Mu Yunchu’s response.

Unexpectedly, another voice quickly refused.

"No need."

Wen Xu’s voice was somewhat cold.

It also carried a hint of disdain.

As if saying: don’t get involved with sick children.

Along with Mu Yunchu’s slightly apologetic smile, Zhao Fang’s risen suspicion and probing were completely dispelled.

After all, which parents wanting to adopt a child would choose those who are sick and physically weak over healthy ones?

Zhao Fang had run the orphanage for many years and seen many parents.

The two of them were just like most of those she had seen before.
