Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 316 - 289: I Finally Killed Wen Xu

Ever since King Yan visited that day, Mu Yunchu’s hearing temporarily recovered, and she regained her sense of touch. It seemed like her life could maintain a basic semblance of normality, but there were still inconvenient aspects.

Moreover, the most inconvenient thing was that Wen Xu had temporarily moved in.

Li Shang was the most displeased about this.

Because, in her view, if it weren’t for Wen Xu, Mu Yunchu wouldn’t have turned out like this.

"Why are you staying here?"

During a meal together, she spoke bluntly.

In their house, apart from the ghost named Zhu Hong earlier, no one had ever stayed.

Li Shang suddenly felt like her territory was being invaded, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Don’t you know that you’re the main culprit?"

Just seeing this man annoyed her.

"Li Shang."

Mu Yunchu softly called out.

Indicating for her to stop speaking. Then said, "I was the one who allowed him to stay."

"Why?" Li Shang raised her voice quite a bit.

Even Ye Zhixia on the side was somewhat unable to accept it, though his reaction wasn’t as intense as Li Shang’s.

As Mu Yunchu was about to speak, Wen Xu interrupted: "This matter originated because of me."

Although he also didn’t want such things to happen, as Li Shang said, without him, this wouldn’t have occurred.

"I should take responsibility."

Li Shang: "Responsibility? What responsibility are you taking?"

At this moment, she looked at Wen Xu as if looking at those ’libertines’ in TV dramas, "Are you planning to offer yourself to her?"

"No." Wen Xu paused.

He genuinely hadn’t thought of that.

Just felt that he couldn’t leave as if nothing had happened.

"Then how are you going to take responsibility?" Li Shang didn’t give him a chance to evade, pressing him with questions step by step.

Anything is possible.

This was the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind.

Even losing his life would be acceptable.

However, when genuinely facing such a question, Wen Xu could only remain silent.

Though he said so, it seemed he wasn’t able to help Mu Yunchu at all.

Including the conditions raised by that mysterious man who came just now.

Seeing him not speak, Li Shang became even more displeased.

At this point, Mu Yunchu said: "I don’t need anyone to take responsibility."

All the choices were hers alone. Why would she need someone else to take responsibility for her?

"Moreover, allowing him to stay was my request."

Li Shang: "..."

She was speechless.

Mu Yunchu had said it to this extent, what else could she say?

Looking at Mu Yunchu, she felt both angry and uncomfortable. In her heart, she felt that the current Mu Yunchu had become very strange.

Instantly, she lost the mood to eat the large table of dishes and returned to her room without uttering a word.

Even when Mu Yunchu pushed the door open to find her, she appeared visibly displeased.

She opened her mouth, couldn’t help but ask: "Boss, I don’t understand what you’re thinking."

"Just an ordinary human. If he dies, he dies. Why exert so much effort to save him?"

"Because I can’t just sit idly by and not save a life."

Mu Yunchu said, "Back then, there wasn’t much difference between Wen Xu and those we encounter in live broadcasts, or the fated people who come to our store seeking help."

There was even an undeniable reason why Wen Xu must be saved.

"What reason?"

"After several encounters, I felt the mastermind behind it all was Li Yunhe."

Li Shang: "..."

She remembered this name.

From past to present, quite a few things have been stirred up.

Usually, Mu Yunchu doesn’t get involved in the life or death matters of normal people, but if such irrational mystical methods are used to harm people, she can’t ignore it.

What Mu Yunchu didn’t say was that this time, he specifically targeted her.

It seemed the opponent had been keeping an eye on her ever since she set a trap last time and caused him to lose a ’valuable player’.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that these things happened just when she was with Wen Xu?

Li Shang blinked.

Feeling a lot better.

After all, she was just worried that Mu Yunchu had become someone who lost herself because of Wen Xu.

But after hearing the other party say this, she was assured that it was not what she feared.

"Furthermore, although I’ve temporarily lost my senses, Li Yunhe’s days aren’t easy either."

The power she exerted in breaking the formation was considerable, and when the opponent set it up, it only could be more and never less.

The minimum is decades of cultivation.

Yet Mu Yunchu couldn’t quite fathom.

Just how many years this person had lived to have such prowess.

And, what his ultimate goal was?

Besides, there’s someone King Yan wanted her to find, whom she still had no clue about.

...

Not long after Pei Jingxiao painfully paid the money, he received a message from Li Yunhe saying that Wen Xu had already fallen into the trap. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

At the same time, the person he sent to track Wen Xu also reported back that Wen Xu had lost consciousness and was being dragged away.

"Is it that amazing?"

Pei Jingxiao’s eyes shimmered with sheer excitement.

He finally succeeded in dealing with Wen Xu.

Opening the drawer, from the very bottom position, he pulled out a photo frame. In the photograph, there were four people, three men and one woman.

One of them, a man about forty years old, was his current incapacitated father still on a hospital bed.

He gently touched the beautiful woman next to him, preserved well and only about her twenties, with his fingers, a look of sorrow in his eyes.

"Mom, I finally killed Wen Xu."

Below these two stood two similarly dressed little boys.

One slightly taller, thinner.

The other was shorter, darker.

The former was Wen Xu, the latter was himself.

"The old man’s inheritance will be mine in the future."

"Will you be happy knowing all this up there?"

Before putting away the photo, he inadvertently glanced at his younger self and Wen Xu, with no hesitation, replaced them in the drawer, at the very bottom of many items.

Even if someone opened it, they wouldn’t be able to see the photo frame.

Taking a deep breath, he swept away the sadness on his face, Pei Jingxiao reverted to his original dissolute demeanor.

He called his lawyer, "My dad is now on his deathbed. If my brother, who also shares inheritance rights, is dead, then when the old man finally passes, will all the inheritance be mine alone?"

On the other end, his lawyer seemed to tap a few keys and mouse clicks, his voice coming through the phone receiver.

"Are you sure he’s dead?"

This statement seemed to remind Pei Jingxiao of something.

"That’s right, I haven’t collected my brother’s corpse yet."

After so many days, he had almost forgotten about it.

No matter what, he was still a member of the Pei Family.

"Should I organize a simple funeral for him?"

Pei Jingxiao thought, feeling he was tremendously generous, completely absorbed in his own world.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Isn’t it time to call a board meeting?"
