Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 303 - 276: Don’t Light the Fire
Li Xiuqiu was taken aback, the flames burning near her face felt scorching hot. She ignored the side of her face that was almost burned by the fire and turned her head to look.
Running at the front was her sister, and behind her were a man and a woman she didn’t recognize.
What seemed like only one or two seconds felt like they were stretched several times in her eyes.
She saw her sister looking like she had seen something extremely terrifying, her eyes wide open in fear, running and shouting at her.
At that moment, she felt as if she was having a dream where she saw her father.
But this time, she could see clearly what her sister was shouting.
Narrowing her eyes, based on Li Moli’s lip movements, she mimicked, saying word by word.
"Don’t"
"light"
"fire"
Li Xiuqiu: ?
She didn’t understand why her sister didn’t want her to light a fire.
"There’s"
"a bomb"
Li Xiuqiu said it once, then repeated it again.
It was at this moment that she finally understood what her sister was saying.
There’s a bomb!!??
She quickly turned her head, but in just a few seconds, the paper in the basin had already caught fire.
Just as the flames were growing bigger.
Mu Yunchu suddenly stood still.
She knew that even if she ran over now, it would likely be too late.
"Command the winds and clouds to move, sweet rain wash away evil!"
Mu Yunchu shouted.
She bit her finger and quickly drew on the talisman paper, then threw it into the air.
A gale blew past her, and on the mountaintop, Mu Yunchu’s black hair flowed like a waterfall in the air behind her, her clothes rustling in the wind.
In an instant, the sky that was clear a moment ago erupted into a storm of dark clouds, deep within the clouds came the rolling of thunder, and raindrops formed out of nowhere, then started falling.
The entire process took only two or three seconds.
Torrential rain poured down accurately onto the fire basin, and with a ’hiss’, the burning paper was completely extinguished.
Li Moli’s legs gave way at the sight, and she directly fell to her knees on the ground.
It was great.
They survived!
Just when they arrived, Mu Yunchu revealed the truth to her.
Upon hearing that explosives were buried next to their father’s grave, Li Moli didn’t even have time to feel anger, her mind was solely focused on rushing up the mountain to stop her sister from lighting the fire.
Fortunately, fortunately, she managed to stop it in time.
The sisters survived miraculously, narrowly escaping death, and now embraced each other, feeling terrified.
Not long after, Zhou Zhicheng arrived with the police reinforcement.
Without exception, every one of them arrived completely soaked.
The rain summoned by Mu Yunchu was not ordinary.
The policemen were still mumbling as they arrived: "What kind of ghost weather is this, clear sky one second, and suddenly a heavy downpour."
"Weather forecasts are getting more and more inaccurate these days!"
But they didn’t think much of it, after all, inaccurate weather forecasts were quite common.
They just wanted to complain about the terrible weather.
As they saw the people on the top of the mountain, they paused for a moment, then swiftly returned to their usual investigatory demeanor.
Mu Yunchu was just about to say something, but suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. She looked instinctively to the side, and Wen Xu had unknowingly taken off his coat and draped it over her.
She wanted to say that she wasn’t cold, but he didn’t give her a chance. As she turned, he tightened the coat around her.
Throughout, Wen Xu didn’t look at Mu Yunchu, instead, he seemed somewhat guarded towards the young policeman ahead, which puzzled Mu Yunchu.
Conversely, that policeman seemed to understand something, his gaze lingered on the two of them for a while before suppressing his curiosity and focusing on the official business.
"Who reported that there’s a bomb here?"
...
Zhou Zhicheng arrived not long after.
The police quickly took control of the scene and, upon careful inspection, found the bomb buried in front of the tombstone.
Although the bomb was homemade, its power was anything but small.
If Li Xiuqiu had further fueled the fire from the paper, there was a risk of igniting it at any moment. The consequences, of course, were apparent without their saying.
Although the sisters were already shocked, the police didn’t want to be inhumane, however nearby there was no place to dry their clothes, nor were there any spare clothes, so they could only let them warm up in the cars and discuss back at the police station.
Embarrassingly though, Wen Xu had to drive his big G down.
Thus, he carried Mu Yunchu back, while Li Moli and her sister took the police car.
Zhou Zhicheng was very curious, wanting to inquire about the details, and instinctively tried to get in the car with Wen Xu, but because he couldn’t stop in time, he nearly hit his nose on the car door.
"Hiss..."
He rubbed his nose in fear, inhaling exhaust mixed with mud, coughs racked his body until he recovered.
"This brat!"
Zhou Zhicheng wiped his face, realizing that his already non-smooth skin felt rough.
Yet he forgot something very important.
It wasn’t until Hu Chi reminded him that he noticed.
"Captain Zhou..." Likely because Hu Chi had already noticed some clues and oddities, he particularly paid attention to the two of them, "Did you just see..."
"See what?" Zhou Zhicheng spit out sand for a while, sounding somewhat displeased.
"See Sister Yun Chu wearing what seems to be Forensic Wen’s coat."
"Oh?"
Zhou Zhicheng listened, not even bothering to spit sand, beginning to recall the scene from moments ago.
As police officers, the most important thing was to remember the scene that appeared in their minds rapidly, the more details the better, even if only for a fleeting moment.
Suddenly, he remembered something, and his eyes widened.
Zhou Zhicheng: !!!
"Don’t say, don’t say, it seems it really is!"
In Hu Chi’s constantly blinking attempting to connect his Eight Diagrams Bluetooth with Zhou Zhicheng’s expression, the latter found no signal.
"Didn’t expect, huh, usually Forensic Wen seems quite aloof, but actually he’s rather gentlemanly."
Nodding as he spoke, "If these are known, I guess those single young ladies might go even crazier."
Hu Chi waited for quite a while, not hearing what he wanted to hear from Zhou Zhicheng’s mouth. Seeing Zhou Zhicheng seriously spitting sand again, he sighed helplessly.
He said he doesn’t like discussing gossip with the elderly.
If today someone else had gone on the mission with him, it would’ve been better!
But this didn’t stop Hu Chi, who took out his phone eagerly, posting the scene he just saw in the colleague gossip group.
...
In the car, Wen Xu felt his phone vibrate twice.
After seeing Zhou Zhicheng’s message, he put it back without any change in expression.
Remembering a store they encountered when they came, he cleared his throat and asked, "I recall there’s a shop selling clothes, I’ll take you to change your clothes."
Honestly, Mu Yunchu’s clothes weren’t transparent.
It’s just that some parts of her undershirt are made of gauzy material.
Even if completely soaked, it only faintly showed her collarbone.
She wasn’t an ancient person, not conservative to that extent.
But knowing Wen Xu was being thoughtful, she didn’t say anything more.
Opening her mouth: "Actually I..."
