Chapter 8, Third Hexagram: Debts he owes must be repaid.



“Your Mimi was taken from you by force, and he shouldn’t have existed in this world. But since he was born, he could have survived if you had taught and cared for him properly. But instead of teaching him properly, you taught him to do evil.”

"Therefore, he must repay the debts he owes."

Jiang Yuan spoke calmly, but the viewers in the live stream felt that she was very angry.

However, if this is true and not part of the script, they would also be angry if they were in their shoes.

Imagine, it's already pitiful enough that babies die young, but then they go and dig up other people's babies from their graves and eat them. It's horrifying to even think about.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cuiyun's face immediately contorted into a ferocious expression, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison, the veins on her forehead bulged, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

She's scarier than a ghost.

[Your appearance reflects your inner state; how frightening.]

So, is eating stillborn infants illegal?

[Excellent! This script is unbeatable! I, Wang Shaoyu, will invest in this project!]

Inside the live stream, many people thought it was scripted, but the script was suspenseful and terrifying, and they loved watching it, so more and more people flocked to the live stream.

"Go east and you'll see a willow tree. Your Mimi lives nearby," Jiang Yuan said, pointing it out.

“Impossible, we’ve searched all around that willow tree, and my Mimi isn’t there,” Zhao Cuiyun retorted.

Her daughter Mimi's favorite place to play is by the willow tree, and that's the first place they look for, but there's no sign of her son there at all.

She really is something else; of all the people she could believe, she had to believe a charlatan.

"Have you really searched everywhere? Did you forget there's a place you haven't looked for yet?" Jiang Yuan spoke, her tone becoming more serious as she reminded Zhao Cuiyun.

Zhao Cuiyun thought for a long time, and her heart skipped a beat.

Oh yes, there's still one place I haven't looked for!

[Judging from this old woman's expression, the streamer was right again? Where is this place?]

Willow trees are usually found near lakes, ponds, or water; the only truly difficult places to find them are...

In the water?

Willow trees are also planted near the cemetery.

The live stream suddenly turned into a suspenseful discussion, with everyone guessing what the unsearched place was.

Zhao Cuiyun suddenly stood up from her chair and hung up the phone.

On the other end of the live stream, Jiang Yuan remained unmoved as she watched the connection being disconnected.

Her son has committed too many sins and carries too many debts of life on his shoulders; he must pay them back.

To live is impossible.

That's it? That's all?

[Answerer, where is her son?]

[It's frustrating. If you're going to put on a show, at least go all the way. We haven't even seen the ending.]

[I was really scared when she looked at the camera just now.]

[Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. If what the streamer said is true, then I'd be willing to give up three pounds of fat for her son to get his just desserts!]

"Where her son is should be reported in the news in a few days. Those who want to know can keep an eye out."

"The three divinations for today are finished. Goodbye, everyone."

Jiang Yuan spoke, and then immediately turned off the broadcast.

His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation. He wasn't interested in the thousands or tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream who were both eagerly anticipating and resenting him, and he didn't even have the intention of broadcasting for a second longer or chatting with them for a while.

The six or seven thousand viewers in the live stream: ...

Holy crap, this streamer ended the broadcast way too fast!

With the viewership so high, why not broadcast for a little longer!

Seeing this, the viewers, being rather cheeky, clicked to follow.

Even though they knew it was scripted, the streamer's decisive decision to end the broadcast despite having thousands of viewers left them feeling resentful.

Which streamer doesn't desperately want more viewers and more traffic? This streamer isn't like that; after she did the three divinations, she really didn't want to do any more...

They're just being sarcastic; they love ignoring people.

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished broadcasting, she was exhausted, as if her life had been drained and she was only hanging on by a thread. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on the moldy old sofa.

This body is still injured and too weak. If she doesn't rest, I'm afraid the soul she's attached to this body will also dissipate.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Cuiyun rushed outside and shouted a few words. She then called people to go to the lake near the willow tree and immediately sent her husband and relatives to the lake to search for the fish.

With not enough manpower, Zhao Cuiyun called on her neighbors, but her family had offended all of them. Every household kept their doors tightly shut, afraid to help, lest they be taken advantage of by Zhao Cuiyun's family.

There have been similar cases before. An old woman kindly helped her son Mimi up after he fell, but Zhao Cuiyun's family turned around and accused the old woman of being heartless for pushing her son and causing him to get injured. They insisted that the old woman pay compensation.

The old woman's husband had just passed away, and her children were not around. They took advantage of her vulnerability and robbed her of her savings for her funeral.

Such people are afraid of getting into big trouble even if they help someone out of kindness.

For their own safety, they would rather be a little selfish.

However, Zhao Cuiyun and her team searched for several days, and the whole village knew about it. So why did Zhao Cuiyun suddenly ask them to go to the lake to retrieve the person?

It was as if she was certain her son was in the lake.

That's really mysterious.

Zhao Cuiyun didn't know why, but after hearing the anchor's reminder, her bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, as if Mimi really was in the lake.

Since her neighbors wouldn't help, Zhao Cuiyun had no choice but to pay a salvage team.

Jiang Yuan was woken up by a phone call. When she woke up, she was feeling much better, but she was still a little weak when she spoke.

It was a call from the police station. They said they had found the thieves who broke into her house. They insisted it was a theft, but they didn't expect she was in the house at the time. They also pushed her, causing her to bleed. They were afraid that something might happen to her, and even more afraid of getting involved in a murder case, so they left without taking anything.

The other party firmly stated that they were stealing, and that it was not a deliberate act of targeting them, nor was it an act of hiring someone.

The police found it suspicious, but after investigation they found nothing unusual, nor did they find out who the group had spoken to or met with recently. However, they did discover that these individuals were repeat offenders who had committed numerous burglaries in the past.

They would steal from one place and then move to another city. The police were constantly tracking them, but they were very cunning.

This arrest can be considered as eliminating a potential threat.

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything about the result, but she knew in her heart that those people were after her and that someone was behind it.

The police said they hadn't found anything unusual, and if she revealed who did it, they would question her about how she knew and become suspicious of her.

This matter cannot be rushed.

"Oh, by the way, the lady who made you instant noodles last time asked me to tell you to thank her. She's in the hospital taking care of her daughter right now, and she said she'll definitely come to thank you in person once her daughter recovers," Zhao Yong said, remembering Han Zhi's request.

"Please also tell my sister that I thank her for the instant noodles," Jiang Yuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice came from the other end of the phone, calling Zhao Yong away.

After Jiang Yuan hung up the phone, a golden light appeared in the small room, containing a small fragment.

The moment Jiang Yuan saw the fragments, she was overjoyed.

Judge's Pen!

This is her judge's pen!
