Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 241 - 214: Luan Huacheng Is in Trouble

Mu Yunchu only mentioned it briefly, after all, talking too much about that thing to Zhou Zhicheng was useless.

Her task was perfectly completed by this point.

The police, via another phone found in the house, traced the source of the forbidden substances. Although it was just an independent seller, they seized many similar items from his house, at least saving many from harm.

With Mu Yunchu’s help, they also uncovered Liu Cheng’s true identity and established evidence of his various crimes, eliminating Zhang Zhen’s last hope of escaping guilt.

During these days, Zhang Cheng had often had people spread rumors outside, claiming he was wronged, and the real culprit was still at large.

Because the corpse found in the haunted house caused quite a stir, some people who didn’t know the details almost believed it.

But once the police announced the case publicly, his incitement was in vain.

Overnight, Zhang Cheng, as a father, became gray-haired.

Yet that was the inevitable result of spoiling his child while ignoring the law.

Finally, Zhou Zhicheng asked Mu Yunchu a question, "I’ve thought through everything, but I just can’t understand why Liu Cheng placed the body in the haunted house."

Mu Yunchu, surprisingly, didn’t give him a straight answer.

Who knows what was going through his mind after the murder?

Even now, it’s likely that the fully conscious Liu Cheng cannot give the most accurate answer.

...

Mu Yunchu was sent back to the shop by Wen Xu, but did not get off at the shop door.

"Just stop here for me."

Wen Xu glanced at the address, seemingly still a few kilometers away from her shop, but he still stepped on the brakes and stopped by the roadside.

Just as he was about to get out, Mu Yunchu remembered something, "By the way, what I gave you last time should be used up."

Looking down, she held a stack of yellow talisman paper in her hand.

Although Wen Xu couldn’t understand the bizarre symbols on it, he could guess their meaning from her words.

"Thanks."

Wen Xu didn’t refuse and took it casually.

After all, the two have gone through life and death together; there’s no need to be coy about this kind of matter.

But just as he raised his head to say something, Mu Yunchu had already gotten off.

It wasn’t until Mu Yunchu’s figure completely disappeared among the buildings that Wen Xu started the car and drove away.

...

The reason Mu Yunchu got off earlier was that it passed through a lively market, where there were many things Li Shang liked to eat.

She guessed that having refused to take him out twice, Li Shang must be having some minor emotions at home, so she planned to buy some food.

Buying a large pile of things, she didn’t forget Ye Zhixia’s taste. Just as she was about to return, she was suddenly drawn by a vendor that had popped up.

Occasionally during ordinary times, they would visit, but had never seen this vendor before.

It was a woman with greying temples, slightly hunched, busy at her stall. Although it was a working day and there weren’t many passersby, most were captivated by the exquisite food displayed at her stall.

Mu Yunchu also approached a bit closer.

There weren’t many products on the table, all placed in small plates, pastries much smaller than a hand, very beautifully crafted. Pink, yellow, various spring colors fashioned into different shapes, Mu Yunchu bought a few intending to try them.

The old woman, despite moving slowly, retained elegance, clearly from a non-ordinary family in her youth. She looked up at Mu Yunchu, her cloudy eyes brightened slightly, a smile evident on her face, "Miss, would you like to buy some pastries?"

"These are all made by me personally."

Mu Yunchu thought buying some wouldn’t be wasteful and got a little of each kind.

As she was leaving, the other person reminded her not to put them in the fridge if she couldn’t finish them.

When she returned home with various bags and packages, sure enough, as soon as she entered the yard she saw Li Shang crouched in a corner watching ants on the ground.

Only when she mentioned there were delicious things did he slowly float over.

He couldn’t help but swallow while looking at those pastries, but merely gazed, occasionally sneakily glancing at Mu Yunchu several times.

"Why aren’t you eating?"

"Don’t you love sweet things?"

Li Shang stayed silent, merely full of grievance.

Mu Yunchu: "..."

She sighed softly and slowly said, "Today I went to a rather special place unsuitable for you spirits."

If it even affects her emotions, then the impact on Li Shang might be huge.

Because it magnifies negative emotions infinitely.

Li Shang was half-believing, stared at Mu Yunchu’s face for a long while before accepting the explanation.

Most importantly, the allure of the pastries before him was too great.

No matter the reason, as long as Mu Yunchu wasn’t angry with him it’s fine.

His face reappeared with a bright smile, returning to the room to retrieve the tea he had earlier prepared.

Just as he was about to put a pastry in his mouth, he suddenly recalled his hallucinations, unsure whether to mention them to Mu Yunchu.

After contemplating for two seconds, Li Shang felt it unnecessary to mention such trivial matters.

He most likely heard wrong.

Then he bit into the pink peach blossom-shaped pastry before him, the soft texture combined with the sweet but not sickening fragrance made it oddly familiar as he chewed.

This further made him forget the matter of hallucinations.

"Why does it seem like I’ve eaten this somewhere before?"

Upon hearing, Mu Yunchu also took a bite. But she didn’t have the same feeling.

She even said it was a new stall, which they hadn’t bought from previously.

"Maybe it’s similar to the taste from some other place before."

After all, Li Shang often bought such items.

...

Apart from eating sweets, Mu Yunchu didn’t forget her main business. She went to the side and dialed Wei Xianzhong’s number.

The strange feeling found at Liu Cheng’s house wasn’t useful to discuss with Zhou Zhicheng, but matched directly with the 749 Bureau.

She gave Wei Xianzhong some characteristics, hoping he could help identify what it was.

"I have a premonition that it’s definitely some kind of evil object."

Being an evil thing that moves on its own is excessively frightening.

Who knows if tomorrow it will appear in someone else’s house having been in Liu Cheng’s today.

Wei Xianzhong, after all, is knowledgeable, and more importantly, the things he deals with aren’t limited to those in the country. After listening to the key features she provided, he felt it closely resembled a similar case seen before.

"Alright, once I find out, I’ll get back to you immediately."

"Thank you," Mu Yunchu said.

Just as she was going to hang up the phone, Wei Xianzhong hesitated and revealed the matter involving Luan Huacheng.

Mu Yunchu paused.

Wei Xianzhong said, "After you mentioned it last time, I sent people to protect him."

"But didn’t expect it was still a step too late."
