Chapter 2384: Chapter 2190: Stay Away from the Young Lady_6
But do fortune tellers speak like that?
The fortune teller paused for a moment, carefully choosing his words, and said to Zhang Si Rui, "You might find yourself trapped in a romantic dilemma in the future. You’ll devote all your affection to someone you can’t be with according to fate. If you meet someone you feel you must marry, remember my words today and don’t be too stubborn."
"Oh..." Zhang Si Rui nodded, seemingly understanding yet not fully grasping the meaning.
A girl like her, obsessed with money, will naturally gravitate towards rich, powerful men with families after graduating.
"What about my exam results? Will I fail any subjects?" Zhang Si Rui asked the fortune teller.
"You’re not good at sciences. If you are studying math or physics, you’ll need to be careful."
"Ah... I’m doomed, I’ll fail calculus..." Zhang Si Rui complained.
"If you’re afraid of failing, then just go back and start reviewing now!" Chen Xue said to Zhang Si Rui.
"Thank you, Master."
The fortune teller politely accepted the payment and acknowledged with a nod.
"Are you all not going to have your fortunes told?" Zhang Si Rui asked Chen Xue, Jiang Nan, and Lu Yaobing.
"I don’t need to, I’ve already given up." Jiang Nan replied.
"I don’t need to either, I’ve also given up hope." Chen Xue also replied.
"Would the young lady like to have her fortune told? Whether it’s academics, career prospects, or romantic matters, I can do them all." The fortune teller asked Lu Yaobing, deliberately emphasizing the word ’romance’.
"Bingbing, the master is hinting at you, why don’t you get your romantic fortune told and see if there’s any fate between you and your mentor?" Zhang Si Rui said to Lu Yaobing.
"Xiao Rui, stop talking nonsense!" Lu Yaobing told Zhang Si Rui.
"Just have it read, check your romantic prospects, see when you might get a boyfriend. Otherwise, when my boyfriend and I go out with you all, you’ll complain that I’m rubbing it in." Zhang Si Rui said to Lu Yaobing.
"Exactly." Jiang Nan, who also had a boyfriend, said to Lu Yaobing.
"Alright then." Lu Yaobing could not resist the persuasion from Zhang Si Rui and Jiang Nan, so she sat on the small stool in front of the fortune teller.
"Is the young lady interested in a romantic fortune?" the fortune teller asked Lu Yaobing.
"Uh... Let’s just have it all done like hers," Lu Yaobing pointed at Zhang Si Rui who had just had her fortune told.
"Good."
Lu Yaobing extended a hand to the fortune teller.
The fortune teller examined Lu Yaobing’s palm lines, closed his eyes, and started to declare profoundly.
"Young lady, if you don’t mind, could you share your birthdate and time?" The fortune teller asked Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobing told the fortune teller her birthdate.
"This young lady’s fate is extraordinary, destined to have someone influential supporting her, possibly becoming a generation’s Divine Doctor, inheriting the teachings of saints. Moreover, if I am not mistaken, there must be a much older man beside the young lady." The fortune teller told Lu Yaobing.
"Wow, Bingbing, the master is really accurate! You really do have someone influential beside you!" Zhang Si Rui asked Lu Yaobing in surprise.
Lu Yaobing was struck with astonishment and asked the fortune teller, "Not that much older... What about romance?"
"Just directly ask if you and your mentor can work out!" Zhang Si Rui said impatiently to Lu Yaobing.
"Xiao Rui!" Lu Yaobing turned back to call out to Zhang Si Rui.
The fortune teller pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Lu Yaobing, "Young lady might have a late marriage. You and the influential person in your fate have a degree of romantic fate, but you must strive for it yourself. At least for now, there’s only a teacher-student bond between you two. To achieve a romantic union, you must go through many twists and turns, experience a life-and-death separation, and wait for that person to come to his senses, only then might it be possible."
"Life-and-death separation?" Lu Yaobing murmured these four words blankly.
She was just a college sophomore, how could she understand the meaning of life-and-death separation? How could she possibly experience a life-and-death separation?
"Then, sir, what about my studies?" Lu Yaobing asked the fortune teller.
Actually, this question was unnecessary because Lu Yaobing always studied hard. Although her grades were not top-notch, failing a subject was unlikely.
"Young lady, you have the guidance of an excellent teacher, and you are inherently smart. Academics have never been something you need to worry about." The fortune teller said to Lu Yaobing.
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
The fortune teller politely accepted the payment and acknowledged with a nod.
"Let’s go." Lu Yaobing quietly urged everyone to head back to school.
By the time they returned to school, the sky had grown dark. Gray-black clouds rose up in the northwest, and the north wind was softly weeping through the woods. Lu Yaobing recalled the fortune teller’s words and felt a chill run through her body.
Song Xiaodong returned home after handling matters at the weight-loss tea factory.
"How did it go?" Li Sijie asked Song Xiaodong.
"The water source at the factory was tampered with." Song Xiaodong said with a frown.
"What? How could this happen? Did someone put laxatives in it?" Li Sijie asked.
"Worse than laxatives." Song Xiaodong replied.
"What did they put in it?" Li Sijie asked.
"Corpse oil." Song Xiaodong responded.
"What? Seriously? That’s terrifying!" Li Sijie exclaimed.
"Yes, I climbed up the water tower myself to check. A thin layer of oil was floating on the surface of the water, shimmering under the sunlight like water contaminated with oil." Song Xiaodong said.
"Who could be so malicious?" Li Sijie said.
"Not afraid of being robbed but afraid of being remembered by a thief. Finding out who did this is simple enough; just think about who we’ve offended by opening a weight-loss tea factory." Song Xiaodong said.
"Oh..."
Song Xiaodong thought for a moment. He had frequented the development zone in Beishan District recently. Although things weren’t going smoothly, he hadn’t offended many people. Probably just Grandpa Sun from the grocery store, Sun Weilong, the technician from the food safety testing center laboratory, and Zhou Changsheng, the regional manager of the Beishan District xxxx supermarket.
The problem was, these individuals wouldn’t have access to something like corpse oil, nor could you imagine such a malicious method being used.
Actually, there was another person Song Xiaodong hadn’t considered, who was He Guangyi, whom Lu Yaobing met when buying medicinal herbs.
Think about it, poisoning the water tower of someone else’s factory entails risk. If such a poisoned beverage comes to market, it can’t be predicted how many people would be affected. If someone already suffering severe diarrhea consumes the tainted drink, it could be deadly, and Song Xiaodong’s weight-loss tea factory could hardly continue operations.
