Chapter 18: Fainting Occurs – A Predictable Stroke of the Mind! (2/2)



"His will is unpredictable! I advise you not to try to guess what Ninth Master is thinking, or you might get..." At this point, the slightly chubby executive made a throat-slitting gesture.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

After the video conference ended, Shen Jingnian went to the restaurant.

Looking at the dark, unappetizing four dishes and one soup on the table, Shen Jingnian fell into deep thought.

But Shen Jing Shu looked at him expectantly, "What are you still standing there for? Come and try my cooking!"

Shen Jingnian: "..."

Urged by Shen Jingshu, Shen Jingnian picked up his chopsticks, then quickly put them down, parted his thin lips, and said, "Sister, you still haven't told me why you came to my house."

Shen Jingshu rested her chin on her hands and said, "I'll tell you while you eat."

"Haotian, have you tried it?" Shen Jingnian then asked.

Shen Jingshu turned to look at Yun Haotian, "Yes, yes, Haotian, you haven't tried it yet! Try it quickly. Not everyone is lucky enough to taste my cooking. Even your dad isn't so lucky. You're much luckier than your dad."

Yun Haotian smiled on the surface, but was crying inside.

Whoever wants this good fortune can take it.

He didn't want to be a guinea pig.

My uncle really went too far; with one move, he successfully dragged him down with him.

Yun Haotian picked up his chopsticks, about to grab some food, when he suddenly changed the subject, looking at Shen Jingnian, "Uncle, let me tell you, I saw that con artist who tricked us in the elevator last time outside the coffee shop today! She actually tried to lie to me again, saying that your current improvement was just a facade, and that you would definitely have a relapse and faint before nine o'clock tonight! But it's almost nine o'clock, and you're still perfectly fine. Isn't that nonsense?"

"Didn't you just ask me why my mom suddenly came here? She was worried that you might faint and there would be no one to take care of you, so she came to check on you."

Shen Jingnian's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his long, delicate eyes unfathomable, calm and still, making people afraid to look directly at him.

Upon hearing this, he glanced at the wall clock.

It is 8:55 PM now.

There are five minutes left until nine o'clock.

"It's not even nine o'clock yet! Stop talking and eat!" Shen Jingshu picked up a piece of food that she couldn't tell what it was and stuffed it into Yun Haotian's mouth.

Suddenly the world fell silent.

The strange taste instantly filled Yun Haotian's entire mouth. He wanted to vomit but dared not, and he wanted to swallow but could not.

Shen Jingshu picked up another piece of food with her chopsticks and put it in Shen Jingnian's bowl. "Jingnian, don't just talk, eat too!"

Yun Haotian instantly regained his composure.

Under her sister's expectant gaze, Shen Jingnian had no choice but to pick up a small piece of vegetable leaf, put it in her mouth and swallow it quickly. Then she quickly picked up the cup next to her and gulped down a mouthful of water.

But then, Shen Jing Shu asked with an expectant look, "Jing Nian, is it delicious?"

Shen Jingnian remained as icy as ever, his thin lips parting slightly, "Not bad, but I'm not very hungry tonight, so you can let Haotian eat more!"

Shen Jingshu looked at Yun Haotian, "Since your uncle won't eat it, then you can have it."

Yun Haotian was completely bewildered: "???"

Dear, dear uncle?

Waaaaah!

If you want to kill him, just say so. Why beat around the bush?

Shen Jingnian put down his chopsticks, stood up from his chair, and prepared to open a bottle of red wine.

bite!

The moment he stood up.

The clock on the wall struck the hour.

Nine o'clock sharp.

"It's nine o'clock, the crisis is over." Yun Haotian put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen Jingshu with a smug expression. "See, Mom! I told you Uncle would be alright. Lin Fuhua is a super doctor, and that woman was just a fraud!"

Almost as soon as Yun Haotian finished speaking.

Bang!

Shen Jingnian opened the wine cabinet door, but before he could even touch the bottles, a sharp pain shot through his chest. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

"Uncle!"

"Over the years!"
