Chapter 267: 267 Placement of Pieces (Third Watch of the Night)

The screen displayed a string of very strange numbers.

It was long.

The area shown was unknown.

Zheng Chuyi took the cell phone and said to the servant, "Thank you," before pressing the answer button and placing the phone to her ear.

A deep and rich male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Chuchu."

The voice was very pleasant to the ear, with a hint of magnetism.

Zheng Chuyi’s lips slowly curved into a smile, and she spoke in a gentle tone, "Aaron."

A light laugh came from the other side, "Sure enough, Chuchu knows me the best. Even though my voice has changed to this, you can still recognize it. We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, do you miss me?"

"What do you think?" Zheng Chuyi retorted.

"I think you definitely do, and it’s a longing day and night," the man’s voice was low and husky, irresistibly seductive, "But, I want to hear you say those words to me in person, Chuchu. I really love you, heaven knows how happy I was the moment you contacted me. Can we be together forever?"

"Wait until you’ve dealt with all those concubines of yours before coming to talk to me about this. For now, you don’t deserve it." By the end, Zheng Chuyi’s eyes revealed a strong disdain.

"Chuchu, don’t be so heartless. They don’t hinder my love for you. For me, they are just tools for warming the bed. Only you are the one I truly love."

Zheng Chuyi snorted coldly, "Aaron, you’re not qualified to talk to me about this now because you don’t deserve it, and it disgusts me."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone laughed rather than got angry, "Chuchu, you’re still so straightforward and genuine."

Zheng Chuyi closed her eyes, her voice somewhat chilly, "Did you call just to talk this nonsense with me?"

"Chuchu, how can you say that? These are all my true feelings..."

"Enough," Zheng Chuyi directly interrupted Aaron, "Stop with the nonsense. How is she doing with the Tarot cards?"

"Pretty good. Compared with ordinary people, her talents are quite high," the man continued. "Also, about the ordinary person you asked me to check out, she has a simple background, and her bloodline is very common. Going back three generations in her family, they are all ordinary people, nothing to be afraid of."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chuyi silently breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew it, how could a mere ordinary person possess the Bloodline of Fire Bathing?

The reason that ordinary person could play the Konghou was merely because she had been touched by her own light!

In this world, she was the only one who possessed the Bloodline of Fire Bathing!

The man went on.

"However, I’ve discovered that recently, the military chief of Hua Nation is also investigating her. The chief’s background is quite mysterious; even I cannot find out his true background."

"Military chief?" Zheng Chuyi narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her gaze, "What’s his name?"

"The Chief of Hua Nation, Song Shiqin."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Aaron. It’s been tough on you with the matters in Goryeo Nation recently."

"Hmm, rather than thanks, I think I need more practical action."

"What do you want then?" Zheng Chuyi asked.

Aaron counter-questioned, "If I say it, would you be able to give it to me?"

Zheng Chuyi didn’t directly respond to Aaron’s words, but instead said, "Find out the background of that Chief for me."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Chuyi stared at the cell phone screen for a long time.

Intuition told her that the Song Shiqin Aaron mentioned was not that simple.

More importantly, he was also interested in that lowly ordinary person.

Did this mean she could make good use of him when the time came?

Her chess game was still missing a few clever pieces.

At the crossroads.

When Chu Jin arrived, the middle-aged woman was already waiting there.

She was still clad in a dark-colored qipao, and holding an oil-paper umbrella, exuding a gentle demeanor.

Upon seeing Chu Jin approach, the middle-aged woman eagerly greeted her, "Master Chu, you’ve arrived."

Chu Jin closed her umbrella, apologizing, "I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."

It seemed that the middle-aged woman had been waiting for a while.

She was already sweating profusely, though her complexion was still somewhat pale.

"It was I who arrived early, Master Chu, shall we get in the car?"

While she spoke, a white sedan had already pulled up in front of the two.

The driver got out and respectfully opened the doors for both of them.

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Okay."

The two leaned in and sat in the back seat.

Chu Jin casually placed the Oil-paper Umbrella on the back seat, and a flicker of curiosity crossed the middle-aged woman’s eyes as she asked, "Master Chu, that’s a really nice umbrella, where did you buy it?"

"Thank you, it was a gift from an elder."

"Oh," the middle-aged woman nodded, then continued, "Master Chu, I see you’re wearing the uniform of South Bridge No.2 Middle School, are you also a student at South Bridge?"

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Yes, I just started my senior year."

With the exact answer, a look of surprise appeared on the middle-aged woman’s face.

She had originally thought Master Chu was a professional fortune-teller, but to her surprise, she was still a student at school.

And a high school senior at that.

If it weren’t witnessed with one’s own eyes, who would believe a high school senior could possess the ability to foresee the future?

"My daughter also graduated from South Bridge; thinking about it, you could be considered school alumni."

Through the conversation on the road, Chu Jin learned that the middle-aged woman’s surname was Shen, full name Shen Suhua.

Her husband, Wen Yaohui, was a high-ranking official in Capital City.

The one in trouble was their daughter, Wen Ziyao, 25 years old this year, at the age where marriage was being discussed. She had just set her wedding date three months ago, originally planning to get married on the 10th of this month, only for such a thing to happen unexpectedly.

When speaking of her daughter, Shen Suhua, who had been relatively stable in her emotions, suddenly had her eyes turn red, and large tears began to roll down.

A sobbing voice echoed in the car, "Master Chu, you must save my daughter, she’s still so young..."

For the past two months, she had almost lost all hope.

Whether it was hospitals or various masters, all had essentially given her daughter a death sentence.

Now, Master Chu was her daughter’s only hope.

Chu Jin held Shen Suhua’s hand and comforted her, "Don’t worry, I’ll do my best."

"Thank you, Master Chu, I feel much more at ease hearing you say that."

The driver drove quickly, and in no time, they arrived at a mysterious and well-known military district estate in Capital City.

This place was mysterious and imposing, the entrance strictly guarded by soldiers, and the surrounding walls covered layer upon layer with electric fences.

Those who lived here were the big names famous in the official circles, influential internationally.

That’s why the security was so tight.

The car entered the military district estate without any obstruction, marking Chu Jin’s first time entering such a place.

The path they took was lined with stand-alone villas, nearly every one of them guarded by soldiers in military attire.

The car turned a corner and then stopped in front of a villa, and almost as soon as the car stopped, someone came over to open the door.

This villa was located at the westernmost part of the estate. Ordinarily, the homes of military personnel and high-ranking officials should be surrounded by upright energy, impenetrable by any evil presence, yet the villa in front of them was emitting a kind of black aura invisible to the naked eye.

This was quite strange. Chu Jin frowned slightly and glanced around, noticing that the magnetic fields of the surrounding areas were normal. The site selection for the military district was excellent, with purple qi coming from the east and fortune at the door.

"Master Chu, please follow me," Shen Suhua stepped forward to lead the way.

Chu Jin snapped out of her brief daze and followed behind Shen Suhua.

The closer they got to the villa, the more a bone-chilling cold confronted them, penetrating to the core and sending shivers down one’s spine.

Upon entering the living room, this coldness became even more evident.

Additionally, a heavy damp smell could be detected in the air, mixed with a tinge of foulness, akin to something rotting under water.

It was extremely unpleasant.

Chu Jin frowned slightly, yet the other people inside behaved as if nothing was amiss.

As if they didn’t smell anything out of the ordinary.

This was even stranger.

Could it be that their sense of smell had all failed them?

Shen Suhua beckoned for Chu Jin to come and sit down in the drawing-room.

Seeing Chu Jin’s expression, Shen Suhua looked up and asked, "Is there something wrong, Master Chu? Is it the decorations in the room that are causing an offense?"

"It’s not that," Chu Jin shook her head slightly, took the cup of water a servant handed her, took a light sip, and then asked, "Don’t you smell anything strange?"

The water was quite ordinary, with a hint of sweetness, and no other odd smell.

Shen Suhua sniffed lightly, "No, I don’t."
