Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 193 - 166: No Need to Save Them

From her reaction, it was evident that Zhao Fang was in a state of immense fear at this moment. Constantly looking over her shoulder, it seemed as if something was watching her.

However, Mu Yunchu sensed there was no other human presence nearby besides them.

So after scanning the area, she focused her gaze back on Zhao Fang.

"What are you afraid of?"

Behind her, Li Shang changed his ghostly face continuously, threatening to devour her if she did not reveal the answer Mu Yunchu wanted, tormenting Zhao Fang to tears.

This was akin to being caught between a "rock and a hard place."

A woman who was once ’decisive and resolute’ now knelt on the ground, crying with snot and tears.

The prideful look she had a few dozen minutes ago was gone.

Indeed, she was genuinely experiencing fear at this moment.

She even stretched out her wrists, saying, "Maybe you should have the police arrest me and send me to prison."

One couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly was she so afraid of.

Mu Yunchu stared at her for a while, seemingly guessing something. "Did he put a curse on you?"

Then, without waiting for Zhao Fang to answer, she continued, "He’s a man in his twenties, right?"

Zhao Fang’s eyes widened further, her pupils shrinking smaller, and the muscles on her face twitched from the tightness. She looked at Mu Yunchu, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Apart from the shock, her heart was also conflicted.

Does she know?

Can she say something?

Mu Yunchu was gambling on her reaction.

Watching Zhao Fang’s expression without relaxing for a moment, she knew she had placed the right bet.

It was the same colleague who once sent Feng Niang.

"What curse did he put?"

Zhao Fang thought carefully.

The man only instructed her not to tell anyone anything about him, but the curse... might not count.

"I don’t know what curse he put, but I can’t say anything about him, or I’ll die instantly."

She said this tremblingly, and after finishing, she felt assured she was still alive and temporarily sighed in relief.

Her demeanor suggested she was not lying.

But that didn’t mean Mu Yunchu would spare her.

Aside from the crucial information she had about the man, there was the fortune accumulated and lives harmed through the orphanage over the years, enough to warrant punishment a hundred times over.

"If you won’t speak, we’ll have no choice but to let the police question you." Mu Yunchu made a gesture as if to call the police. However, Zhao Fang remained unmoved upon hearing this.

She even feigned calm and sighed, "Go ahead and call them, the worst is life imprisonment, not death, it’s better than now."

Zhao Fang was clever; she knew Mu Yunchu could not provide evidence to the police about her feeding children to the mother-son ghost.

At most, they could find cases of children going missing in her care.

"Just human trafficking, right?"

Mu Yunchu saw her unrepentant demeanor and realized she was confident she wouldn’t die.

But what she didn’t understand was, "Do you think you’ll be safe in prison?"

"Do you know a human trafficker was sentenced to death recently?"

Zhao Fang blinked.

She hadn’t paid attention to this case at all.

"You’re lying." She was scared because, over the past decade, no human trafficker had ever been sentenced to death. Once such a precedent was set, it meant she herself had a high chance of facing the same fate.

Mu Yunchu directly pulled up the news for her to see.

"Of course... if you’re still harboring false hopes, I could also hand you over to her."

This ’her’ referred to Li Shang.

While saying this, Mu Yunchu slightly gestured with her chin.

Directing Zhao Fang’s gaze toward Li Shang patiently waiting nearby.

The two had a tacit understanding, almost simultaneously, as the latter opened his gaping maw, smiling threateningly, "Don’t worry, I’ll eat you slowly, and let you feel all the pain."

Zhao Fang: ???

"Shouldn’t it be trying not to feel pain?"

Li Shang spoke gently, "You’re different."

Yet it wouldn’t make her feel any warmth.

Instead, she trembled uncontrollably.

She had already seen firsthand what Li Shang was.

Zhao Fang couldn’t distinguish the ultimate differences among these ’ghosts,’ but she couldn’t help but wonder, would she suffer like the children fed to the ’mother-son ghost’?

As the gaping maw drew closer to her, faced with the choice between instant death and unknown impending death, her subconscious reaction favored the former.

"Speak up, I’ll talk!"

"The man asked me to do this, besides having me give him most of the money, there was also a..."

However, just as she began to speak, her words abruptly stopped.

She looked at herself in horror, then uncontrollably bit down on her tongue.

Blood immediately gushed from her entire mouth, the pain nearly causing her to faint, yet she couldn’t scream like a normal person.

Mu Yunchu had been wary of her curse, but hadn’t expected that man to make her bite off her tongue.

Coincidentally, the police had just arrived.

Several police cars stopped by the roadside, surrounding them...

Wen Xu had credentials representing his identity.

Mu Yunchu also carried the police advisor credentials handed to her by Zhou Zhicheng days ago.

Thus, after inquiries, they were quickly ruled out as suspects.

Wen Xu said, "I called the police because we discovered multiple criminal activities by the orphanage director during operating hours."

He slightly stepped aside, pointing to Zhao Fang nearby.

The latter’s appearance startled the police.

"But I believe she requires medical attention now."

To let Zhao Fang die like this would be somewhat advantageous for her.

Moreover, there should be a lot she needs to cooperate with in the investigation.

Given the situation, the police quickly split into two teams. The priority group handcuffed Zhao Fang and took her to the car for medical treatment.

Although Wen Xu had done some emergency measures, there was still danger.

The other group rushed to rescue the children still at the orphanage.

Though it seemed everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Mu Yunchu felt a lingering unease.

Finally, she risked backfire to calculate, her expression instantly becoming even more grave.

"What’s wrong?"

Wen Xu was surprisingly the first to notice her anomaly.

Mu Yunchu said, "No need to save them."

"What do you mean no need to save them?" The lead police officer was puzzled.

Wen Xu quickly understood, turning swiftly towards the police car now only a distant tail.
