Chapter 198 Master Xiaoxia
Xia Lili recalled the last scene of the hallucination: at Song Kai's funeral, Song Kai's parents were still angry when they received the guests and complained to the guests, "Highway racing is illegal. Why didn't the traffic police show up in time to stop their racing?"
"We taxpayers pay so much money to the traffic police, but what exactly do they do?"
It's typical that he doesn't pay attention during normal times and then blames the workers when something goes wrong.
Xia Lili became increasingly annoyed and couldn't help but ask Pei Qinyue, "Has someone like Song Kai, who's been driving illegally, never been punished by the traffic police before?"
Pei Qinyue sneered, "Oh, how come he's never been caught? We car enthusiasts know the rules: modified cars are only driven in our own estates or professional venues. But Song Kai is so audacious, illegally modifying his car and then racing it on the road. He's been caught red-handed by the traffic police three or four times."
He lowered his voice and continued, "The most outrageous thing was last year on the winding mountain highway. The traffic police set up a checkpoint to stop him, but this lunatic not only didn't stop, but he deliberately accelerated and rushed the checkpoint, almost knocking a young traffic officer away. Later..."
Pei Qinyue revealed a disgusted expression. "Later, his parents paid to settle the matter. I heard that the traffic officer who was so picky was transferred to a remote mountainous area not long after. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who was behind this."
"This mad, dissolute young man," Pei Qinyue shook his head. "Whoever gets involved with him is doomed. Not only is he lawless, he's also vindictive."
After hearing this, Xia Lili clenched her fists unconsciously.
When Xia Lili heard about the experiences of the grassroots traffic police, she became even more angry. In her hallucination, Song Kai's parents were blaming the traffic police for inadequate supervision. Where did they get the nerve to do that?
When Song Kai was caught by the traffic police, he targeted the traffic police. When Song Kai died in a traffic accident, he blamed the traffic police. His thought process is really weird.
She finally understood why Song Kai was driving recklessly on the winding mountain road in the foreseeable scene.
It turned out that he was fearless, thinking that his family could handle anything that happened, and he didn't take the traffic police seriously at all.
Xia Lili frowned. "If I report this to the traffic police and stop this illegal racing, will Song Kai retaliate against the traffic officers like he did last time? And given his personality, he'll definitely continue racing next time."
Pei Qinyue nodded helplessly: "Indeed. The Song family has a wide network of connections, and every time they just spend money to solve the problem, it's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause."
"What about his parents?" Xia Lili asked, "They should at least take care of their son, right?"
Pei Qinyue shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Although the Song family's parents are worried about their son's safety, they dote on this youngest son they had in their later years. If outsiders try to persuade them, they will think they are meddling."
His eyes suddenly lit up. "But... if you use that 'black forehead' trick you just gave me, maybe I can actually scare them."
Xia Lili was skeptical: "Will these businessmen really believe this?"
"You underestimate the superstition of these wealthy people."
Pei Qinyue lowered his voice, "The Song family spends at least seven figures on Feng Shui masters every year. Last year, in order to improve the Feng Shui of their ancestral tomb, they bought the entire mountain."
Xia Lili's eyes lit up. "Then can you arrange for me to meet the Song family's parents as a master of metaphysics? This time I must completely eliminate this cancer on the road!"
"No problem," Pei Qinyue looked at her current outfit, "but you need to change your clothes. I know someone who deals in antiques. He has a set of Taoist robes and a compass that were passed down from his ancestors..."
Xia Lili quickly made an "OK" gesture.
Pei Qinyue looked puzzled. "But I have a question. Why do you insist on stopping this illegal drag race? It shouldn't just be because you dislike Song Kai, right?"
Xia Lili looked at him steadily: "Because I do know a little bit about fortune-telling, but my skills are limited. I can only accurately predict the other person's life and death in the past week."
There was nothing wrong with what she said; her hallucinations were more accurate than those of fortune tellers.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Don't ask for more information."
If Xia Lili told this to others, they would probably not believe it. However, Pei Qinyue suddenly thought of the two things: his tableware was poisoned and Fei Shuyun's puppy's collar was poisoned, and his expression became secretive.
Pei Qinyue's tone became serious: "I won't ask too many questions. If there is anything else you need my help with, just let me know."
Xia Lili curved her lips and smiled, thinking that this boy was quite sensible.

The next morning.
Shrub ridge winding mountain road.
Li Qihan's off-road vehicle rolled over the gravel and stopped on the mountainside.
Xia Lili jumped out of the car, and the mountain breeze lifted her neat ponytail.
"In my hallucination, the rockfall occurred at the third sharp turn," Xia Lili pointed to the S-shaped bend ahead, where there was a crooked pine tree and a view of the green-tiled village below.
The two of them explored the route provided by Pei Qinyue for Song Kai's racing competition.
At the third bend, Xia Lili suddenly stopped - she found the crooked pine tree!
“It’s right here!”
Xia Lili's tone was excited.
Li Qihan confirmed the satellite map coordinates of this place. "I have asked the police from the nearby police station to investigate the identities of the grandfather and grandson you provided."
Xia Lili clenched his fists and said, "I hope we can find this grandfather and grandson within three days and stop them from going up the mountain to collect herbs."
The sky was just beginning to brighten as the two descended the mountain, their SUV jolting along the winding mountain road. To race against time to find the accident site, Xia Lili and Li Qihan had set out at around 4:00 AM.
Xia Lili got up too early today and fell asleep in the passenger seat without realizing it.
When she drowsily woke, she found herself covered in a coat with a faint fir scent. Turning her head, she saw Li Qihan concentrating on the steering wheel, his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, the veins of his hands faintly visible as he rested on the wheel.
"Awake?" Li Qihan noticed the movement and said without turning his head, "We'll be home in ten minutes."
Xia Lili rubbed her eyes and picked up the coat that had slipped off her shoulders: "Captain Li, thank you for your coat!"
"..." Li Qihan's ears turned slightly red, but his tone remained firm, "I just don't want you to catch a cold at this critical moment."
He emphasized the words "critical moment".
Xia Lili smiled and replied, "I see. Thank you, Captain Li, for your concern!"
Li Qihan didn't respond, but the tips of his ears turned even redder.

The third day.
Senshan Villa Area, Song Residence.
Song's father and mother looked at Pei Qinyue who came to visit them, and the young girl with a unique temperament beside him, with surprise on their faces.
Mother Song forced a smile and said, "Qin Yue, why did you come here suddenly today?"
Father Song frowned: "Is that kid of mine causing trouble again?"
Song Kai has been naughty and mischievous since he was a child, causing trouble everywhere. His parents are used to cleaning up the mess.
Pei Qinyue said with a serious expression: "Uncle and aunt, this is not a trivial matter, it is a matter of life and death."
