Chapter 25 What is Divine Calculation?
His gaze sharpened for a moment: "Little friend, I have something to do, so I might not be able to have dinner with you right now. How about we reschedule for tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing remembered something.
It had been exactly seven days since she first met them.
Nie Chao is in trouble.
Clearly, he didn't take her words seriously.
However, this is normal.
She remembered that just before she left, in 1780, all the witches and sorcerers in O Continent were hunted down as heretics.
So many years have passed, and there are still very few people who truly possess the ability to divine, and the same is true in China.
Nobody will believe this stuff.
"Not long." Not hearing a reply, Fu Yunshen turned around, his peach blossom eyes curving into a smile. "How about I order takeout for you and your uncle, and you can take another nap?"
The danger was unclear, and he couldn't very well take a little girl with him.
Ying Zijing understood his meaning; he didn't intend for her to come along.
She frowned slightly: "Be careful of heights."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen's lips curved into a wider smile. He raised his hand to pat the girl's head and smiled gently: "Okay, we'll listen to our little one."
He opened the car door and dropped her off at the apartment entrance.
The car started again and drove away, and Fu Yunshen's smile slowly faded.
He turned the steering wheel while simultaneously turning his phone back on.
The message was still flashing frantically on the screen; it was very short.
Sharpshooter No. 94.
Except for the different numbers, it was named the same as the first folder on that day.
Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He never expected that Nie Chao would also be targeted by someone on the kill list.
Fu Yunshen deleted the message and made a phone call: "Check the recent movements of the Nie family."
**
Huangpu Road, No. 1 Tavern.
Today is the grand opening sale, and a lot of people gathered here at noon.
Nie Chao took the best spot next to the bar, ready to have a good drink.
Before long, the area was filled with people, and the stage was set up.
Nie Chao was listening to music with his headphones on, but the music suddenly stopped after only the intro.
"Huh?" he wondered, "No way, it's broken already?"
He bought it not long ago.
However, before he could take it off to check, a voice that was neither male nor female came through the earphones.
"You are at No. 1 Huangpu Road Bar."
Nie Chao jumped in surprise: "How did you know?"
Holy crap, who is this? Not only can they hack into his phone, but they also know his whereabouts. Could it be that his father sent someone to arrest him?
The other person didn't answer, but simply said, "Someone wants to kill you."
"Stop joking around." Nie Chao was speechless. "Who dares to kill someone in China? Who are you anyway?"
"Ten seconds later." Ying Zijing narrowed her phoenix eyes as she looked at the flashing red dot on the computer screen. "You can try it."
Nie Chao was amused and didn't want to pay attention, so he was about to turn off his phone.
But just then, all the lights in the bar suddenly went out.
In the pitch black, someone screamed.
Nie Chao was also stunned. Before he could react, two words came through his earpiece.
"Lie down."
"Bang!"
Nie Chao collapsed to the ground. He could feel the heat rising from above as the bullet grazed his head, missing him by a hair's breadth.
Holy crap?
Someone really wants to kill him!
The bar instantly descended into chaos, filled with screams.
Nie Chao's legs felt weak; he now believed it.
He swallowed hard. "What... what should I do now?"
Ying Zijing didn't use a voice changer; she simply used her vocal cords to create a different voice. She said calmly, "Take three steps to the right."
Nie Chao hurriedly did as instructed.
"Bang!"
Just as he turned around, there was another loud bang behind him; he was still just a little short.
Nie Chao was sweating profusely and cursing under his breath.
Holy crap, what's going on?!
The voice in the headphones continued to give instructions, calmly, even leisurely.
"bend over."
"Jump."
"Run now."
Nie Chao had no reason to doubt anymore and took off running.
He ran frantically for thirty seconds before he heard the last two words.
"alright."
Nie Chao collapsed to the ground with a thud, looking as if he had just died, gasping for breath: "Holy crap..."
Inside the apartment, Ying Zijing leaned back in her chair and yawned.
The consumption is considerable.
She needs to eat some chocolate mousse cake.

When Fu Yunshen arrived, Tavern No. 1 was already surrounded.
Although there were no casualties, the bar's facilities were mostly destroyed.
The discovery of bullet holes in the floor and walls is particularly alarming.
Fu Yunshen turned his head and saw Nie Chao squatting on the side of the road like a husky, with a bandage wrapped around his forehead.
The person is fine.
His expression relaxed, and he walked over: "Aren't you getting up?"
Nie Chao wanted to cry: "Seventh Young Master, do you know that I almost died?"
"I can see that." Fu Yunshen glanced around and understood.
Nie Chao slapped his thigh in anger: "I don't know who has such a deep grudge against me that they would actually want to kill me."
That bullet was incredibly accurate. If it weren't for the mysterious person who hacked into his phone, he would have died young.
If you're so capable, go kill his old man! What's the point of killing him?
Fu Yunshen didn't say anything, but pulled him up: "Let's go to the hospital first."
Nie Chao pretended to wipe away tears and sat in the passenger seat.
Fu Yunshen started the car, casually asking, "How did you come up with the idea of coming here?"
Nie Chao scratched his head: "On the way here, I picked up a flyer. It looked good, so I came."
Fu Yunshen gave a faint "hmm".
It was no coincidence after all.
"Seventh Young Master, I'm going to sleep for a while." Nie Chao, who had just escaped death, was still shaken and drowsy. "Wake me up when we get there."
Fu Yunshen glanced at him, and only after confirming that he was fast asleep did he answer the phone that had rung several times.
"Yun Shen?"
The deep, pleasant male voice was magnetic.
"Your brother has a bounty on his head. The hunter who took the hit is ranked ninety-fourth on the Gun God List." Fu Yunshen chuckled lazily. "But he was lucky. He wasn't hit. He just bumped his head while running away."
Anyone on the Gun God Ranking, even if they're only ranked at the bottom of the list (100th), can hit an ordinary person with perfect accuracy.
Today was strange; he saw five bullet holes, but none of them hit him.
That's a disgrace to the title of "God of Guns".
There was a moment of silence on the other end after hearing this.
"I understand, I'll be right back."

After parting ways with her agent, Ying Luwei first called the old house.
She drove home in the evening.
"Miss Luvia." The butler, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward respectfully. "Madam is inside. You may go in directly."
Ying Luwei smiled and pushed open the door.
In the living room, Zhong Manhua was pruning the flowers in the vase. Hearing the sound, she looked up and smiled, "Luwei, why are you in such a hurry? Is something the matter?"
"Yes, I have something to ask you, sister-in-law. Does Xiao Jin want to enter the entertainment industry?" Ying Luwei nodded. "If she wants to enter the entertainment industry, I can help her."
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "But if that's the case, then... she won't be able to go to the Qingzhi Elite Class, will she?"
Sharpshooter
On a side note, there's no need to criticize the male lead if you don't like him.
My previous fantasy novel was criticized for the male lead constantly interfering with the main plot, which was understandable. But I never imagined that a sweet contemporary romance novel would also be criticized for the male lead having too much screen time. I... I don't know what to say! My male lead is having such a hard time!
