Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 258 - 231: The Coffin Is Moving!

Jiang Ci was clearly not very convinced, so he didn’t speak.

"I was wondering why you weren’t in good shape during the filming, turns out it was because of this."

Then, the other person suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "Don’t think too much about it, what do you think it could be."

"Make sure not to have any more problems going forward; I noticed the director is visibly unhappy."

Qin Long comforted him with a few more words.

Jiang Ci had no choice but to believe what he said.

As it seemed, Qin Long had no reason to deceive him.

Besides, what the other person said was correct, he couldn’t afford to keep making mistakes like this, so he temporarily put it out of his mind.

Anyway, he was only participating in the recording of two episodes, and it wouldn’t take many days. Recording quickly and leaving here soon would be a good thing.

Yet, little did he know, he almost ended up staying in this town forever.

When Mu Yunchu arrived in Nanxie City, it was already afternoon.

He seemed to be saying something urgent, but strangely, after the three of them got off the plane, they didn’t head straight to Li Sheng’s house.

Instead, they drove to a restaurant that looked extremely luxurious.

Even Ye Zhixia couldn’t help but ask weakly, "Aren’t you in a hurry to deal with your family’s matters?"

Mu Yunchu was observing Li Sheng’s facial expression.

The latter was first stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked out at the sky and said, "There’s still time."

"This time is still a bit early."

It made one wonder what he meant by ’time is early’.

Could it be that the ghostly activity had a specific time?

However, because Mu Yunchu didn’t speak, he didn’t ask any further and instead started savoring the delicious dishes being served in front of him.

These were high-class dishes that he hadn’t even eaten in his lifetime.

Judging from a plate where even white radish was carved into a peony flower, the prices here must not be low.

Therefore, later when Li Sheng ordered more dishes, he sneaked a glance at the menu.

A bowl of seafood porridge sold for more than a thousand yuan, and Li Sheng ordered three servings without even batting an eye.

Ye Zhixia couldn’t help but marvel: How rich must this person be!

At the dining table, Li Sheng said, "To be honest, Master, the strange happenings at home all started because of my father."

His father had just passed away yesterday and hadn’t been cremated yet.

"And you can’t see anything during the day, that’s why I said not to rush."

He needed to take Mu Yunchu back there at night.

Ye Zhixia was puzzled, "Yesterday?"

"Shouldn’t you be keeping vigil at this time?"

Li Sheng looked a bit embarrassed, "My wife is there."

Ye Zhixia pursed her lips.

No one would skip keeping vigil for their father who hasn’t been buried yet.

Maybe it’s a matter of not having a shared language, or perhaps because Li Sheng was unwilling to talk much about the so-called strange happenings, the meal was eaten in rather quiet surroundings.

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Sheng added dish after dish, and he finally proposed to leave.

The waiter, dressed in a uniform work attire, brought the menu for Li Sheng to settle the bill.

Ye Zhixia originally thought that someone as wealthy as him would be like the descriptions in novels, pulling a gold card or black card directly out of his pocket.

But Li Sheng didn’t reach out for any card at all.

He simply waved his hand, "Just put it on the tab like before."

The waiter clearly knew what was going on.

If an ordinary person asked to put it on their tab, they might think that this person was trying to dine and dash.

But this restaurant was different; it operated on a membership system.

From the moment you entered, the waiter would determine if you were a member based on the information provided by the diner.

Since Li Sheng said this, they just needed to enter it into the system.

The waiter operated for a few seconds on the tablet, then smiled at Li Sheng, "Okay, it’s been put on Mr. Wei’s account. The total bill is 158,000 yuan at the moment."

Li Sheng irritably waved his hand again.

He inexplicably felt that the waiter saying the amount publicly was somewhat insulting, so his face didn’t look good at all.

However, considering there were guests present, he forbear from lashing out.

If it were before...

Thinking of this, Li Sheng hurriedly cast out these strange thoughts from his mind.

He was no longer what he used to be.

His identity was completely different, so he had to say goodbye to his previous way of life. He wouldn’t even allow himself to think of it.

Taking a deep breath, he thought no one noticed his thoughts, but in fact, Mu Yunchu had caught all of it.

...

The distance from the restaurant to their house wasn’t too far, nor was it too close.

But it still took more than half an hour by car.

This was mainly because they lived in a villa area.

As the car gradually drove out of the city center, the sky also darkened further.

Unknowingly, it was already past eight o’clock.

They noticed that Li Sheng’s expression had also become much more serious compared to before.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, he would glance at his phone every few seconds, as if waiting for something or fearing something.

Until the car began to slow down, ready to drive into the back garden of the villa, Li Sheng was just about to sigh in relief when the phone abruptly rang.

Ye Zhixia and the others were all startled.

Li Sheng nearly dropped his phone.

But upon seeing the caller ID, he still answered the call tremblingly.

In an instant, a woman’s scream transmitted through the speaker to the entire car.

"Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng! Where are you?"

"Hurry! Something happened again!"

Upon hearing this voice, it was immediately evident that last night’s supernatural incident reoccurred.

And the hope in his heart was mostly lost.

At that moment, Li Sheng’s heart rate reached a peak like never before.

But upon hearing the call for help, his first reaction was not to jump out to rescue his wife but to turn his head towards Mu Yunchu in the backseat.

"Master, something has happened again, come with me quickly!"

Mu Yunchu did not delay any longer and hurried out of the car. Following closely behind Li Sheng, they ran through the yard straight to the front door.

When Li Sheng input the password on the security door, and the door opened, a peculiar smell hit them, and he could see the scene inside clearly.

A large shrine was set up in the middle of the huge hall.

On the table stood a black-and-white portrait of an elderly man with gray hair, slightly dignified.

Judging by the age, he seemed to be around seventy, seemingly the father of Li Sheng, whom he had mentioned to Mu Yunchu before arriving.

There were two large candles beside the photo, and perhaps due to opening the door, the flames flickered rapidly as if they might extinguish at any moment.

Mu Yunchu’s gaze lingered on the table for merely a few seconds before moving away.

Ye Zhixia next to him gasped, instinctively took a step back, and extended a hand to direct her attention to a certain direction.

As Mu Yunchu followed the direction, his originally calm and cold eyes widened in an instant, flashed with shock upon witnessing that astonishing scene.

But it was only for a moment, his gaze quickly cooled down, becoming sharp and profound.

The screams of the woman inside the house and Ye Zhixia’s voice of surprise intertwined.

"Th-th-the coffin is moving!"
