"Stop talking nonsense. In short, I had my fortune told here, and then I got into a car accident on the way back. I've been driving for so many years and never had a car accident. I suspect I'm cursed by you." The man spoke without thinking, deliberately framing the old man.
The old fortune teller was so angry that his beard twitched. "You will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death!"
The man thought he could extort some money from the old man, but instead he was cursed by the old man and kicked over the old man's stall.
"I'll let you calculate, I'll let you curse me, you won't be done until you pay me back today. Every time I see you, I'll sabotage you, let's see what you can do about it."
At this point, the onlookers realized that the man was deliberately trying to cause trouble.
They probably saw that this old man had made some money by setting up a fortune-telling stall here in the past few days, and wanted to extort him.
But no one dared to speak up for the old man, after all, this kind of thing could easily lead to retaliation.
Li Zhiyi couldn't stand it anymore. Although the old man's fortune-telling wasn't very accurate, this man shouldn't bully the old man like this!
How can you be so disrespectful to the elderly and children?
The man looked up and saw Li Zhiyi. He was clearly taken aback. "Who are you? Mind your own business."
"You were in a car accident, why should you ask the fortune teller for compensation?"
"What he said was unpleasant, and I kept thinking about it after I got back, which is why I accidentally drove into a ditch."
"Do you lie without thinking? Did you accidentally fall into a ditch, or are you trying to murder your wife?"
Li Zhiyi had just told the man's fortune, but even from his appearance, he could tell that the man was not a good person. He was a ruthless person who would betray and harm not only his wife, but also his children and parents for the sake of profit.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Where did you come from? I'm warning you, you'd better not mess with me." The man's eyes flashed with malice, and a bad thought immediately arose in his mind. He thought to himself, "This woman is so beautiful, if I sell her to a nightclub, could I make a fortune?"
"You're willing to kill your wife for insurance money for your own benefit. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
The man's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. How did she know his secret? Even his wife hadn't realized he wanted to kill her.
The onlookers were even more astonished upon hearing Li Zhiyi's words, and some couldn't help but murmur, "This man murdered his wife for insurance money; he'll go to jail for that!"
"My goodness, young people these days are terrifying. It's better to stay single and childless for safety."
Clearly, even the fortune teller hadn't expected Li Zhiyi to be so ruthless.
The old man asked, "Girl, are you serious? This is no joke."
The man then realized that everyone was watching him. His plan had failed, and he was already furious with nowhere to vent his anger. Now, this incident had further clouded his judgment.
This was extremely detrimental to his plan to kill his wife, and he angrily cursed, "You bitch! You're asking for death. If you utter another word of nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
His fierce and menacing appearance would have frightened any other girl, but Li Zhiyi was not afraid of him at all. Instead, she laughed and said, "What, you're getting angry now that I hit the nail on the head? This is just impotent rage."
The man was furious. He had never been so humiliated in his life. He impulsively ran up to Li Zhiyi, wanting to teach her a lesson.
Just as his fist was extended, Li Zhiyi took a step back, and the man's fist missed its mark. He then stepped forward, still wanting to hit Li Zhiyi.
Li Zhi dodged to the side and warned, "Try reaching out again."
The man stood there, watching the people around him pointing and whispering. He knew he couldn't let people remember him, because if he killed his wife for insurance money, the insurance company might investigate and he might actually go to jail.
All he could say was, "You've got guts, don't let me see you again!" and then he fled as if his life depended on it.
The old man shook his head at Li Zhiyi and said, "Girl, you're too impulsive. This man is not someone to be trifled with. I'm afraid he'll retaliate against you in secret!" He didn't want this girl to be hurt by bad people while trying to protect him.
"Grandpa, may I have a word with you?"
The old man followed Li Zhiyi to the side, wondering what the girl in front of him wanted to say.
"What's wrong, little girl?"
"Grandpa, at your age, are you setting up a fortune-telling stall to make a living?"
"Sigh, to be honest, I have a grandson. His parents are divorced, and my good-for-nothing son is nowhere to be found. I've been raising him alone for the past few years, but unexpectedly, he contracted a strange disease last year and has been receiving treatment in the hospital. I have no money, so I can only study fortune telling to earn whatever I can."
"A strange illness? Can you tell me what it is?"
“My grandson is normal during the day, but at night he’s like a different person. He runs around everywhere and sleepwalks. I can’t keep an eye on him, so I’ve sent him to the hospital to be hospitalized.”
"Grandpa, if you trust me, I can come with you to see your grandson and see what's going on."
"Are you a doctor?"
"Grandpa, I'm not a hospital, but I can cure evil diseases," Li Zhiyi said confidently.
The old man was very grateful for her kindness and finally agreed: "Okay, I'll take you whenever you're free. I've been setting up my fortune-telling stall here recently, but I'll be moving to a different place every now and then. As you can see, you can't stay in one place for too long."
"Okay, I understand. I have things to do today, so you should go home early too. Your grandson's condition isn't urgent."
"Thank you, girl." The old man was very touched. In all these years, this was the first time he had met such a wonderful girl.
Li Zhiyi gleaned something from the old man's face. This old man was a kind-hearted person, but for some reason, his descendants were experiencing setbacks, either being tricked or doing something immoral.
However, judging from the old man's character and conduct, he wasn't that kind of person. If he were truly greedy, he would have sold that young man a lucky charm long ago.
That's why she decided to help him. Although this old man is quite young, he is very intelligent; otherwise, he wouldn't have become self-taught after only two years of study.
Although he is far inferior to her, he is already considered to be above average among ordinary fortune tellers, which is truly remarkable.
A sudden phone call rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Jiang Yu calling her. It seemed that Jiang Yu had already arrived at the school gate.
