At night, the city is bustling, but there are always some secluded and deserted places.

To get home from the company, Ji Ziyao needs to walk through a small alley because it's the shortest route.

He usually takes this route, but for some reason, the path seems particularly eerie tonight.

Ji Ziyao couldn't help but shudder, his mind conjuring up images of serial killers murdering and dismembering people.

As he was imagining things, a stray cat suddenly darted past, startling him back to his senses.

"It's all Dad's fault, saying those things in the middle of the night. It's the same road I walk every day, what's there to be afraid of!"

Ji Ziyao took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all the jumbled thoughts, and strode forward.

Suddenly, at the corner, he felt as if a shadow flashed past behind him.

"who!"

Ji Ziyao turned around abruptly, but there was no one behind him.

"Could I have misread it?"

By this point, Ji Ziyao had become somewhat wary.

Although he didn't think any criminal would target a big man like him who knew some fighting skills, he was still somewhat wary because of his father's warning.

Just a few more steps and I'll be home.

Ji Ziyao quickened his pace.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the alley, he heard footsteps behind him and saw a figure on the ground rapidly approaching.

His body reacted instinctively, and he quickly turned around, only to see a man wearing a mask and hat stabbing at him with a knife.

Staying alert, Ji Ziyao dodged to the side.

"ah!!"

The knife still pierced his side, but not in a fatal spot.

After stabbing the person, the assailant pulled out the knife and ran away.

Despite the pain, Ji Ziyao took out his phone and called an ambulance for himself, and then dialed the police.

In the early hours of the morning, Ji was awakened by his cell phone ringing.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Ji Xianji? Your son, Ji Ziyao, is injured and hospitalized. Please come as soon as possible!"

Ji Xian woke up instantly, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed to the hospital.

It was quite a while after he arrived at the hospital that Ji Ziyao completed his surgery.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

"Don't worry! The knife didn't hit any vital organs, you're fine now!"

Ji Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Ziyao finally came to his full senses at dawn.

Ji Xian and his wife stayed with him all night, and only felt relieved after seeing him wake up.

"Son, how are you? Are you still in pain?" Ji Xian asked worriedly.

Ji Ziyao forced a weak smile:

"It's alright! Dad, I'm so glad you reminded me last night. I was more cautious when I got home, otherwise that knife might have hit my internal organs!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiancai suddenly remembered Lu Qing's words.

If it weren't for Lu Qing, he might not have reminded Ji Ziyao. And if he hadn't, Ji Ziyao would probably be...

"Son, you should rest well first. Let your mother take care of you. I'll be back later!"

After saying that, Ji Xian hurriedly returned to school.

It was during a break in military training, and he quickly found Lu Qing, panting, and asked:

"Girl, how...how did you know my son would be in danger?"

Lu Qing looked at Ji Xian and smiled:

"It seems your son is out of danger for now."

"Chief Instructor, my Qingqing can read faces and tell fortunes. She can predict good or bad luck just by looking at your face!"

Leng Wei said with a face full of pride, as if she were the one who could tell fortunes.

Ji Xian looked at Lu Qing in shock:

"You really figured that out?"

Lu Qing nodded: "Yes! But I could tell from your face last night. If you told me your son's birth date and time, I should be able to calculate it more accurately."

Ji Xian quickly gave Ji Ziyao's birth date and time.

Lu Qing took out a tortoise shell and copper coins from his bag and skillfully drew a Five Elements and Eight Trigrams diagram on the ground.

As the copper coin fell, Lu Qing did some quick calculations with his fingers:

"The trouble he encountered must be related to his career. Has he made great progress in his career recently?"

Ji Xian nodded repeatedly:

"Yes! My son studied finance and works at a trading company. His boss values ​​him highly. He recently landed a big project and said that if he does well, he can be promoted to manager."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing fiddled with the copper coins and frowned, saying:

"That's right! He has a great chance of promotion recently, but half of this copper coin fell into the death gate."

"The cause of his death was related to his career; he was offended by a petty person, probably because he was promoted too quickly and offended a colleague."

"The divination indicates that this person should be born in the Year of the Tiger, while your son is born in the Year of the Dragon. When the Dragon and the Tiger clash, one of them will surely be injured."

“Your son has escaped unscathed, but…”

Lu Qing squinted at the divination results, then paused in her voice.

"But what?" Ji Xian asked anxiously.

"Logically, your son should be fine now, and the police should find the murderer soon, so why does this divination still indicate that the calamity is not over?"

Lu Qing found it strange and was about to cast another divination when Ji Xian's phone rang.

It was his wife calling, and he answered immediately.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

The sound of his wife crying came from the other end of the phone:

"Old Ji, come back quickly, our son is dying!"

"What! Everything was fine when I left!" Ji Xian exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't know either. My son suddenly said he felt unwell and then fainted. The doctor is trying to resuscitate him!"

"Don't worry, I'll go back now!"

Ji Xian left quickly, and Lu Qing thought for a moment and followed him.

"Please ask the instructor for leave for me. I'll be right back!"

When Ji Xian got into the car, Lu Qing also sat in the passenger seat.

Ji Xian was stunned. Before he could ask a question, Lu Qing said urgently:

"What are you standing there for? Drive! I'll go with you, so I can help if anything happens!"

Ji swallowed the words he was about to say and rushed Lu Qing to the hospital.

The doctor had just finished the examination and found nothing wrong, but the person just fell into a coma and couldn't wake up.

Ji Xian's wife sat beside him, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Old Ji, tell me, who did our son offend? Someone actually wants to kill him!"

Ji Xian patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her:

"It's alright! Our son will be alright!"

After the doctor left, Lu Qing stepped forward, lifted Ji Ziyao's eyelids to examine him, checked his pulse, and then nodded knowingly.

"So that's how it is!"

Ji Xian hurriedly asked, "Girl, what did you find?"

Lu Qing turned around and smiled at Ji Xian and his wife, saying:

"Chief Instructor, I know why your son is unconscious. I can save him!"

Ji Xian stepped forward excitedly: "Really? You really have a way?"

Lu Qing nodded: "I won't promise things I can't do. Your son's injuries aren't serious. The reason he fell into a coma is because someone put a curse on him."

"A curse? A curse... a curse??" Ji Xian's tone was full of uncertainty.

Lu Qing explained, "It's not a curse, but a harmful evil spell. It's cast on something of the victim, causing them to fall into a coma or even become a vegetable forever."

Ji Xian was shocked and hurriedly asked for a solution, but his wife did not believe him.

"Old Ji, who is this child? And what are you talking about? I don't understand."
