I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams

Chapter 183: I Want to Spend a Fortune to Kill My Grandpa

They only breathed a sigh of relief after watching the police leave.

When they looked back, they saw Chen Yan looking completely calm while Shen Zhiyao was starting her second livestream call of the day.

Sun Yingbin asked, "Aren’t you guys scared at all?"

"The police are gone. What’s there to be scared of?"

Sun Yingbin: "..."

[Holy crap, the streamer is so calm! I was scared shitless just hearing that dog bark, but she can still stream so calmly. My goddess, indeed!]

[Is she calm? I think she’s just heartless. Meng Xiaoxiao was taken away, and she’s not even trying to save her!]

[The streamer is so calm because she must have divined that Meng Xiaoxiao is fine. Her readings are always accurate; nothing bad will happen.]

Just then, Shen Zhiyao’s second caller appeared on the screen.

The person who successfully connected was none other than Shoucai!

[See, see, what did I tell you? After Fa Cai’s reading, it’s Shoucai’s turn. This has to be scripted, right?!]

[It’s not scripted, it’s probably just a coincidence. Who made a rule that Shoucai can’t get a reading after Fa Cai?]

[Exactly! Haters, stop your yapping and just watch the stream!]

Seeing Shoucai again, Shen Zhiyao showed no surprise, as if she had known all along that he would call.

Before Shen Zhiyao could speak, Shoucai jumped in, "What you said was true! My wife really was cheating on me, and the two kids are my grandfather’s! And my grandfather’s grave... it was just like you said. The coffin was opened a long time ago, and his body is gone."

Shen Zhiyao sighed softly after hearing this. "What did you do to them?"

Shoucai answered honestly, "I’ve raised the kids for so long, after all. I have feelings for them. They each gave me five hundred thousand, and we called it settled. As for my wife, I had her sent to jail for grave robbing and embezzlement."

At first, Shoucai thought his wife had only dug up his grandfather’s grave.

But then he discovered she had also embezzled several large sums from the company, so Shoucai added another charge to make sure she’d rot in prison.

Shen Zhiyao got straight to the point. "You’re calling me this time to find your grandfather’s body?"

Shoucai confessed, "Yes. I can’t find my grandfather’s body, and I’ve been having nightmares every night, terrified that he’s going to kill me. Look, this is what his grave looks like now."

With that, Shoucai turned his camera around. Behind him was an open coffin, completely empty. A strange talisman was drawn on the coffin lid.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyao’s expression changed drastically.

"W-what is it, Streamer? Is something wrong?" Shoucai watched Shen Zhiyao nervously. "Is it a really big problem?"

Shen Zhiyao said gravely, "This is meant to wipe out your entire family! Do you see the talisman on the coffin? That’s a Yin Soul Talisman. With this talisman, your grandfather’s personality will be twisted, and he’ll do everything in his power to drain every last bit of value from you. Once all your money is in his pocket, he’ll start slaughtering his own relatives. If I’m not mistaken, your grandfather probably drew this talisman himself! He wants to kill you and possess your body."

Shoucai took a deep breath, his body trembling uncontrollably. "Wh-why would he do that?"

Shen Zhiyao explained, "Your grandfather was the richest man in the underworld for many years and was no longer satisfied with just being the richest in the Ghost Realm. After your wife dug him up, he fell in love with her, and she fell in love with him. It was mutual. Later, your grandfather said he would plant your wife by your side. Once he took over your fortune and your body, he could be with your wife forever."

"So... my grandfather is now..."

"An evil spirit!"

Shen Zhiyao answered without hesitation.

Shoucai’s eyes reddened. "If he’s going to be ruthless, then don’t blame me for being heartless! Streamer, I’ll pay you top dollar to shatter my grandfather’s soul, to obliterate him so he can never be reincarnated!"

As soon as he said this, the bullet comments went wild with laughter:

[Hahahaha, I’m dying! That’s the most filial grandson ever!]

[So filial. Grandpa’s life in the underworld is too hard, better let him die a quick death.]

[This is what you call a loving grandpa and a filial grandson!]

[Damn, now that’s what I call a pro! Paying big bucks to kill his own grandpa!]

[Damn! Damn! This is what the younger generation should be doing—sacrificing family for the greater good!]

Shen Zhiyao agreed at once. "I’ll take care of it when I get back. But before that, you need to buy twelve high-quality Jade Pendants, preferably ice-type jade. These pendants will severely restrict your grandfather’s movements. They just need to hold him off until I return!"

Shoucai had absolute faith in her abilities. He quickly pulled out another phone and ordered his subordinates to buy the Jade Pendants.

Shen Zhiyao said, "I’ve done a quick calculation. The Jade Pendants will last for a week. Tomorrow, have someone dismantle your grandfather’s tomb and haul the coffin away to be burned. When I get back, I’ll solve your grandfather problem."

"Okay, thank you, Streamer."

After speaking, Shoucai sent Shen Zhiyao several more Douyin Number Ones before leaving the stream.

Shen Zhiyao was about to draw for her third call when Little Stupid Pig initiated a connection.

Previously, Little Stupid Pig had found evidence in the nightstand. Hao Hao’s father and grandmother were both arrested, leaving only the seriously ill Hao Hao behind.

Even though he wasn’t her biological son, she had raised him for four years. Little Stupid Pig decided to save Hao Hao and pay for his surgery.

But Hao Hao’s condition was too severe. He passed away before he even left the operating table.

As soon as they connected, Little Stupid Pig expressed her heartfelt gratitude. "Thank you, Streamer! Thank you for helping me escape my sea of suffering!"

[Streamer, I think this reading of yours was incredible! Twists and turns and more twists, and in the end, you directly helped a girl in distress escape her misery!]

[The streamer is just too legit! I’m living in your stream from now on. Not only do you get to watch drama, but all the drama is real!]

Shen Zhiyao said, "You’re welcome. However, you skipped out on the bill last time, so remember to pay for the divination. Since you’re here this time, I’ll read your future for you. You will live a very good life."

"Thank you, Streamer!"

Little Stupid Pig sent Shen Zhiyao twenty Douyin Number Ones and then left the stream.

...

「Midnight.」

The ancestral hall in the Island Country was being strictly guarded, with several more people standing watch outside the door.

Everyone was a little worried, not knowing what terrible thing might happen next.

’What a crappy Island Country. They should just call it the Tribal Country instead! It’s true what they say—harsh lands breed harsh people.’

Meng Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw a hole in the window. "This window is broken!"

The window was shut tight, but there was a large, oval-shaped hole in it.

A man tried to get out, but after several attempts, he couldn’t squeeze through. The hole in the window was too small.

Meng Xiaoxiao pushed aside a staff member. "Let me try!"

Meng Xiaoxiao was a celebrity and the smallest, thinnest person there. With help from the others, she successfully climbed out through the window.

"Wait for me! I’m going to find Yaoyao and see if she has a way to save you!"

After saying this, Meng Xiaoxiao ran off toward a desolate area.

She had only run about ten meters when someone struck her with a club, knocking her to the ground.

She tried to get up, but the pain was too intense for her to stand. Soon, someone covered her nose and mouth, and she was knocked unconscious.

When she woke up again, she was locked in a basement. Her hands were firmly chained, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free...
