Boni hit the ground and, seeing Wang Tonghai preparing to raise his knife for a second strike, he dashed forward with swift gusts trailing behind him. His trench coat swept through the air in an arc, and with a deft sidestep, he unleashed a sweeping kick that sent the dagger flying.

"Ahh!" Wang Tonghai let out a pained cry. Before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his jaw, and he somersaulted backward. In the next second, the back of his head violently struck the ground.

Dizzy and disoriented, he didn't have time to let out a scream.

"Who are you all?"

Desperate to rise, he locked eyes with Guo Xiao through the dark barrel of his gun.

"The Major Case Squad. You are now under arrest for the suspected crimes of kidnapping and assault, in accordance with the law."

The scene turned chaotic.

Officers from Team C swiftly rushed forward to restrain Wang Tonghai, handcuffing him.

Meanwhile, others attended to Fu Feifei, freeing her from her binds.

Only Guo Xiao, after holstering his weapon, stood by the window with a cold expression, inwardly deeply shaken.

He.

He had just witnessed a talisman spontaneously ignite in mid-air, blocking Wang Tonghai's powerful slash.

Decades of faith in science had been crushed into dust by that mere second.

In this world, there truly were talismans that could save lives.

The next morning, at dawn, Chu Yuening arrived at the Chu Ji Fengshui Shop carrying a cardboard box.

Aunt Sweet Potato was eating breakfast at the entrance. Upon seeing the master, she immediately stood up warmly to greet her, "Master, have you had breakfast? If not, would you like to join me?"

Chu Yuening smiled slightly, "I've already eaten, thank you."

"Alright then, no problem." Aunt Sweet Potato peered into the shop on her tiptoes and, noticing that the renovations were complete, beamed even wider, "Oh, I'll be able to eavesdrop on gossip more easily from now on."

If there was anyone who always made it a point to be present whenever Chu Yuening performed a divination, it would undoubtedly be Aunt Sweet Potato.

With a comfortable life and no worries, it didn't stop her from observing others' concerns.

The gossip at the fortune-telling stall was even more thrilling than the tales of the old neighbor sneaking around with a young maiden!

Aunt Sweet Potato turned around to see the auntie who had once ridiculed Lu Qing walking out.

She rolled her eyes and leisurely entered the shop with her bowl in hand.

This infuriated the auntie running the restaurant across the street, causing her face to flush alternately between red and white.

Chu Yuening opened the shop door, noticing several large cardboard boxes on the floor. The place was clean, and Uncle Zhong had already finished decorating and tidying up.

She placed the small box she was carrying in a room before finding a razor blade to open it. Just as she slit open two boxes, her cell phone resting on the table rang.

Chu Yuening picked up the call, blinking. "A Mystical Revelation? Right, I did sign up for that show."

She almost forgot.

On the other end, Li Huiwen's laughter came through. "I knew you'd be too busy with work to remember, so I called to remind you."

Next, Li Huiwen recited the program location, then added thoughtfully, "The show involves fortune-telling in bustling streets and feng shui consultations. There shouldn't be too much pressure, Master. Don't be nervous."

Acknowledging Li Huiwen's kind reminder, Chu Yuening smiled. "Alright."

After hanging up, Chu Yuening found all the cardboard boxes open. She gazed at the imposing statue of Guan Yu and felt a headache. "These figurines seem a bit heavy?"

They hadn't seemed so when she bought them, but now, the task of arranging them on display shelves was proving daunting.

Just as she pondered whether to hire someone for help, Fei Yu's hearty laughter echoed from the entrance.

"Master Chu!"

With slicked-back hair and a white suit that exposed his chest, he wore a thick silver chain around his neck and strolled up the steps with his hands in his pockets, a broad smile on his face. "How could Master Chu move to a new store without informing me?"

Chu Yuening put away the knife. "It's just a small matter, no need to trouble you."

"Master, you're my great benefactor. No matter how small the matter, it's significant to me." Brother Flying Fish snapped his fingers, and a horde of gangsters swarmed into the shop.

They stood in rows, filling the tiny space, all bowing in unison with a unified voice.

"Greetings, Master Chu!"

With a smile, Brother Flying Fish stood at the front, making a courteous gesture. "At your service, Master, whenever you need."

"Alright," Chu Yuening stood up, eyeing the items on the floor. "Your kindness is overwhelming. Would you mind helping me arrange these?"

"No problem at all," Brother Flying Fish signaled with his eyes, leaving a few minions behind while the rest went out to guard the store.

The sight of the minions standing in a line at the entrance was quite impressive, albeit somewhat intimidating to customers.

"Cough, cough," Chu Yuening tried to be tactful. "Next time, there's no need for such a large entourage."

"I understand," Brother Flying Fish was quick to grasp the hint. He brought over a bottle of champagne, "Master, this champagne is worth tens of thousands. It has an excellent taste. Perhaps we could save it for the grand opening?"

Chu Yuening knew from the champagne that Brother Flying Fish had a request.

She smiled. "Go on, what's the matter?"

Fei Yu felt a bit awkward. "You see, nothing escapes Master's notice. I'd like to have my love fortune read."

As he spoke, he was cautious with his words.

After all, Master Chu didn't predict fortunes for the wicked. Should he… or shouldn't he?

Although he fought with a blade, he knew when to hold back and had never taken a life; he mostly used his strength to intimidate others.

High-interest loans were a mutual agreement between both parties, and collecting debts was within the bounds of normalcy, right?

Chu Yuening glanced at his face and nodded. "Considering you've brought so many people to help, there's no problem."

Hearing that his fortune could be told, Fei Yu beamed and eagerly followed her into the private room.

Chu Yuening placed the champagne on the table.

Fei Yu promptly handed over 10,000 yuan with both hands, looking around in admiration. "I'll trouble you, Master."

Well, to be honest.

Brother Flying Fish is indeed at the age when he should settle down and establish his career, considering that all his friends already have children.

Yet, he remains unmarried.

Not only are his family anxious, but he himself is also eager.
