Chapter 209

Han Bonan had no objection to the divorce, provided that he received a share of Huang's production line.

His initial plan was to pretend that his business was experiencing cash flow problems, use a shell company to transfer the Huang family's assets, and leave the Huang family with an empty shell when they divorced, while he would set up a new company himself.

But just as he began to implement this plan, he also started having nightmares every night.

People who frequently have nightmares should know that although nightmares may seem insignificant, they actually deplete a person's energy and spirit. One night is fine, and a week is bearable, but if you have nightmares every night for a month, you will become irritable, suspicious, and physically weak.

At this point, even the slow-witted Han Bonan realized what was happening. He eventually found a master who examined him and said that he had offended the immortals of the Four Great Sects.

He had no chance of offending the four major families. After thinking it over, he figured it must be the Huang family.

Han Bonan then felt a sense of awe and tentatively stopped, and that night he stopped having nightmares.

Given this, he naturally dared not go too far in his subsequent actions and obediently divided the family property.

Over the years, he has worked for the Huang family and achieved some success; when divided fairly, it amounts to a considerable sum.

Ms. Huang was heartbroken by him, and her parents were getting old and didn't want to get entangled with him, so she sold all the production lines in the city to him and returned to her hometown with the funds and the original brand. Han Bonan built a new company by leveraging the customers he had accumulated and the Huang family's original reputation, and the transition went smoothly.

At the beginning of this year, a friend of Han Bonan's current wife introduced him to a foreign partner. After calculating the profits, Han Bonan felt that it was much better than his old partners and wanted to sign a contract immediately, but the production line was not able to supply enough.

His overseas partners wouldn't wait for his contract to expire; if he missed this opportunity, there wouldn't be another one. In addition, his current biggest partner was a close relative of his ex-wife, who had been cold and indifferent to him since his divorce. This gave Han Bonan a reason to consider his options.

But fearing a repeat of the past, he consulted someone and learned that the Four Great Gates also had many restrictions on their actions. If he wanted to do something, he could find someone to take the blame.

Qin Su was the scapegoat he chose.

Before Qin Su came to this world, he did succeed. He used rhetoric to induce the original owner to say "suggestion," and the original owner thus took part of the karma for him and was also tricked by Huang Daxian.

Although no one was killed, it was still an unexpected disaster.

Qin Su recognized him the moment she saw him today. How could she possibly take the blame for him? She casually exposed his past and even prepared to give him a small gift.

The comments in the live stream briefly discussed Han Bonan before returning to the usual state of spamming the chat with requests for calculations.

Qin Su was already used to it and ignored it. Just as she was about to turn off the live stream, a familiar username flashed across the screen.

[Chief Tang Tang]: [Is the ten-year luck cycle important? I just searched it up, and it seems I'm about to enter a new ten-year luck cycle.]

This ID...

Qin Su recognized Tang Xuan at a glance.

I never expected that he was watching her live stream; I don't know how he found out.

After all, they were acquaintances she had fought with before, so she couldn't just ignore them. After thinking for a moment, she explained, "It's important, but not as important as some people imagine. Many people have a one-sided understanding of good luck and bad luck. They think that when someone is lucky, it's like a pie falling from the sky or picking up gold on their head, while when someone is unlucky, it's like getting hit by a car or going bankrupt on all their investments. But that's not how it is."

"Fortune, fortune, it can't just exist for no reason. After all, it is based on people. When people say that someone is lucky, it means that this person has a lot of energy, their efforts will be rewarded, and they will be more likely to succeed. In other words, everything will be more coincidental in an invisible way. But this itself still requires the person as the subject to take action."

"Like many people say, the fortune teller said I would have good luck in love this year, but I haven't encountered any love. In reality, if a person doesn't leave the house for a month, even if they have good luck in love, love can't break through the security door and smash into their home."

"Bad luck is the opposite of good luck. When a person is experiencing bad luck, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is unlucky. He may simply appear to become clumsy and slow. For example, a person who was previously very smart, had high emotional intelligence, and handled things very well may suddenly become clumsy, not very bright, and always make mistakes. This is not necessarily because his intelligence has deteriorated, but because he is experiencing bad luck and lacks energy, so he always fails."

"Of course, this doesn't mean that the person is completely hopeless and should just wait to die. Rather, it means that when a person is in this state, they should be as cautious and prudent as possible, and avoid making overly risky decisions."

This explanation for bad luck seems somewhat similar to the legendary practice of being cursed.

Here, we generally say it's because the lard clouded their judgment.

[It suddenly occurred to me that I seem to know someone like that... So it wasn't that he'd become stupid.]

Chief Inspector Tang: [That sounds pretty scientific. Whether it's good luck or bad luck, it's all up to human effort?]

"You could say that," Qin Su said. "But according to metaphysical theory, when you're lucky, all the energy is helping you, and when you're unlucky, the energy isn't enough to help you go any further."

Chief Sheriff Tang sent an "OK" emoji: [Understood.]

Ever since he followed up on Chu Er's case, he has been filled with curiosity about the non-material aspects of this world, and he often asks anyone he can get his hands on, even annoying the good-natured Qiao Yijing.

Fortunately, he found Qin Su's live stream and immediately asked all the questions he had been accumulating recently.

After answering two questions, Qin Su became impatient and waved her hand, saying, "I'm tired, let's talk next time."

Chief Inspector Tang: [Wait! I have one more question!]

"You talk too much." A handsome, unfamiliar face suddenly appeared next to Qin Su.

Tang Xuan was startled and took a closer look at the man.

With thick, dark eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and sharp, smooth facial lines, he possessed a handsome appearance that defied aging. However, for some reason, despite his perfect features, his eyes naturally carried a hint of fierceness, and when he looked over, it was as if a raging fire was about to ignite.

I don't recognize this person at all. Who is this?

The man said coldly, "Next time you have so many questions, go write '100,000 Whys'." He then reached out and turned off the live stream for Qin Su.

Tang Xuan: "..."

There was something strange about it, yet it also seemed somewhat familiar. This fierce look seemed familiar; where had I seen it before?

He pondered deeply, and after a long while, he slapped his thigh.

Oh dear! That dragon!

Tang Xuan had heard before that Qin Su was busy helping the dragon transform into human form at home, but the little dragon had never appeared in human form, so he didn't know what it looked like.

Turns out he's a really handsome guy.

Tang Xuan touched his face, feeling a little sour, thinking that he seemed to have lost.
