Chapter 246: 246 Warning (second update)

Chu Jin looked out the window, her eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

If she had not seen it wrong, that woman in a red dress on the side of the road had been wandering under the streetlight for quite some time.

The red dress was very long, covering her feet completely.

She kept her head down; her long hair parted to two sides, concealing her facial features, her complexion was eerily pale. More importantly, under the bright light, she surprisingly cast no shadow.

Even so, people passing by seemed not to notice her at all, including an old granny hawking lotus pods, who didn’t even pause as she walked past her.

Looking at it this way, it was somewhat terrifying.

Chu Jin withdrew her gaze, somewhat puzzled, took a sip of watermelon juice and when she glanced out of the window again, the red-dressed woman who had been lingering under the streetlight had disappeared.

As if she had vanished into thin air.

At this moment, Shen Lingtian, who had gone to the restroom, also came back.

Chu Jin picked up a piece of fruit with her hand, placed it in her mouth, and raised her head slightly, "Mr. Shen, I wonder if you’ve made up your mind? Are you going to take these Buddha Beads or not?"

Shen Lingtian had put his suit back on, hesitated slightly, and said, "Miss Chu, is ninety thousand really not possible?"

"No," Chu Jin shook her head and then took the Buddha Beads into her backpack, "Mr. Shen, if you think your life isn’t worth ninety million, then we shouldn’t waste any more time. I have other matters to attend to. I’ll be leaving now." Saying so, she turned to leave.

Her actions were crisp, without any dithering.

Seeing that she was really leaving, Shen Lingtian became anxious, stood up quickly, and called out to Chu Jin’s retreating figure, "Miss Chu, wait a moment."

Chu Jin’s lips slowly curved into a smile and then she paused, turned her head at a leisurely pace, her face calm, and looked at Shen Lingtian with raised eyebrows, "Does Mr. Shen have something else to say?"

Shen Lingtian looked at the girl in front of him, remembered his experiences over the past few days and the footsteps that kept echoing in his ears, gritted his teeth, and then said, "Miss Chu, I’ll buy the Buddha Beads."

It was just ninety million, right?

Just like Chu Jin said, his life was certainly worth more than ninety million, wasn’t it?

Chu Jin’s lips slightly curled up, her clear voice resonating in the air, "Mr. Shen is indeed a decisive person. Will it be a check or a transfer?"

Shen Lingtian sighed softly, "A check." He took out his briefcase, quickly wrote a check, signed it, and handed it to Chu Jin.

Chu Jin accepted the check and then handed over the Buddha Beads.

Looking at the Buddha Beads in his hand, Shen Lingtian’s heart trembled.

Ninety million spent for such an unremarkable set of Buddha Beads.

Shen Lingtian somewhat uncertainly asked, "Miss Chu, can these Buddha Beads truly help me get rid of those filthy things?"

"Of course," Chu Jin nodded gently, "As long as Mr. Shen wears them day and night, within three days, all the strange phenomena happening around you will vanish. If there’s no effect after three days, I can refund the full amount to you."

With that said, Shen Lingtian felt much relieved.

Right then, he slipped the Buddha Beads onto his wrist.

As soon as the beads touched his wrist, he felt a cool sensation seeping through his skin and into every cell of his body.

The clouds that had been pressing on his heart instantly scattered.

He felt extremely relaxed; it seemed this really was a treasure. His ninety million hadn’t been spent in vain.

Chu Jin watched Shen Lingtian’s movements, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, her beguiling peach blossom eyes gleaming, like dazzling stars.

Under the light, the girl wore a soft yellow dress, her figure elegant, dimples shallow, her skin as pure and flawless as snow, and her sleek black hair cascaded down her back. With an appearance both innocent and pristine, she was like an unblemished piece of jade. The yellow light spilled over her, making her seem serenely beautiful and transcendent.

Shen Lingtian gazed at the young girl in front of him, almost forgetting to breathe. An angel, she was like an angel, an angel who had strayed into the mortal world.

So pure and flawless.

[Warning! Host must not attempt to change another’s fate! Everything is predetermined, do not defy the natural order or attempt to alter fate! Otherwise, you will face the threat of Heavenly Dao’s backlash!]The system’s voice rang out in her mind once again.

Only this time, it had changed from a friendly reminder to a stern warning.

Chu Jin’s brow furrowed slightly, then she greeted Shen Lingtian without changing her expression, "Mr. Shen, it’s getting late now, I should head back."

"Miss Chu, let me give you a ride." Shen Lingtian picked up the briefcase on the sofa and followed behind Chu Jin.

He certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity to drive a beauty home.

Chu Jin didn’t refuse Shen Lingtian, nodding slightly, "Then I’ll trouble Mr. Shen."

"Actually, there’s no need for Miss Chu to be so formal with me," Shen Lingtian spoke as they walked, "In fact, I’m only a few years older than Miss Chu. If you don’t mind, you can just call me Lingtian."

Only a few years older?

Chu Jin sneered inwardly. She was 18 this year, and he was 30. Was this what he called being only a few years older?

How did she not realize before that Shen Lingtian was actually so hypocritical!

The her from those years was truly foolish to the extreme, to have fallen in love with such a sanctimonious hypocrite.

Although her inner emotions were churning, Chu Jin still maintained an appropriate smile on her face, and nodded, "Alright, Lingtian."

Her clear voice didn’t reveal any turbulence.

Shen Lingtian turned around, speaking very tenderly, "Then may I call you Jinjin?"

"Of course." Chu Jin smiled faintly.

Once in the car, Shen Lingtian was still continuously looking for various topics of conversation. His manner of speaking was very elegant and humorous, displaying that unique charisma associated with successful people in full.

If she really were that naive girl, she would have probably been deceived by Shen Lingtian’s pretense right now.

The night roads of Capital City were congested. A journey that should have taken only about twenty minutes ended up taking nearly an hour.

By the time they arrived at Huagui Park, it was already past 9 PM.

Getting out of the car, Chu Jin politely thanked Shen Lingtian.

Shen Lingtian took out his phone from his pocket and said, "Jinjin, thank you very much for today. After wearing your Buddha Beads, I feel much more relaxed. I must treat you to a meal in three days. What’s your WeChat ID so it will be convenient to keep in touch."

Just as Chu Jin was about to speak, a deep and magnetic male voice came from the quiet night, carrying some pressure, causing one to shudder.

"Jin."

Shen Lingtian turned around, only to see a tall and upright figure slowly emerging from the darkness. Under the dim light, the man’s handsome face was almost expressionless, his thin lips tightly closed, his face faintly radiating a hint of anger, his whole body exuded an intimidating aura of a dominant ruler.

Even Shen Lingtian, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of important people, couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. In front of this mysterious man, his own presence seemed to fall short by quite a bit.

He could barely stop his legs from trembling.

The pressure from the man before him was just too overwhelming.

It made people almost dare not look directly at him.

"Why have you come?" Recognizing the man’s face, Chu Jin voiced her surprise.

The man stretched out his hand to wrap it around her shoulders, "Surprised to see me?" He then shifted his gaze to Shen Lingtian, "Who is this?"

Chu Jin pointed to Shen Lingtian, introducing him proactively, "This is a client of mine, Mr. Shen Lingtian."

Shen Lingtian’s forehead was already beaded with sweat as he nodded to Mo Zhixuan and then spoke, "Jinjin, since you have a guest, I’ll take my leave."

Having said that, he jumped into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and left as if fleeing a disaster.

"Try to have less contact with that man from now on." Watching the departing car, Mr. Mo spoke gravely.

Walking towards the house, Chu Jin responded without much concern, "Why is that?"

"Because he is not a good man." Mo Zhixuan followed behind her, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "In his eyes, I saw possessiveness. He... has improper thoughts about you."

Thinking about his girl being coveted by someone else, Mo Zhixuan felt very uncomfortable.

That man’s gaze from just now was indeed too irksome.
