Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 56 Call the police quick and arrest her!
Chapter 56: 56 Call the police quick and arrest her!
After leaving the conference room, Gu Yuan hurriedly followed Xie Xuzhi: "Boss, have you never actually considered relinquishing control of the domain?"
As soon as he finished asking, he heard Xie Xuzhi’s cold chuckle: "Is it that I don’t want to? It’s clearly these people who are not capable enough!"
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but silently criticize in his heart: Bullshit, you just want to keep things within your grasp legitimately, playing games with these people, as if they stand a chance against you.
That’s what he thought, the boss arranging an identity for Yun Ran was clearly to pull her into their camp.
The benefits gained, how could they let others pick them up cheaply, it seems the boss had long thought of ’convincing with reason’.
The evening lights had just turned on, and Yun Ran was peacefully waiting for her next destined client.
A luxury car slowly stopped near the overpass.
Yun Jinyang refused the Bodyguard’s suggestion to go find the person and got out of the car himself, dressed in Haute Couture, as the street lamps illuminated the nearby roads.
At this moment, the famous fortune-telling street near the City God Temple had a completely different scenery than during the day.
Looking at the street filled with worldly life and the hurried pedestrians, Yun Jinyang dismissed the Bodyguards and blended alone into such an atmosphere.
The location of Yun Ran wasn’t great, but compared to other fortune-tellers’ stalls, it was a different kind of conspicuous.
Seeing Yun Jinyang in his suit appear before her, Yun Ran’s first reaction was astonishment.
A big shot from the Yun Family actually showing up here, this was even less likely than him just giving her a check and telling her to get out of the Yun Family.
"Big brother, why are you here?"
Yun Ran stood up, her face devoid of the previous grandmaster’s demeanor, instead resembling the embarrassment of being caught playing truant on the streets by a family member.
"I’ve come to take you home."
A series of question marks hung over Yun Ran’s head, her expression loudly asking: Are you sick?
Yun Jinyang pretended not to see Yun Ran’s confusion, curiously examining her fortune-telling booth setup.
Although he was born and raised amidst wealth, he was truly not a gentleman who was detached from worldly affairs.
Seeing the price of 2000 yuan per fortune-telling session on her sign, he was somewhat shocked.
"How many fortunes have you told today?"
"One."
Yun Jinyang nodded: "Not bad."
As he walked over, he saw that most of the fortune-tellers were elderly. Comparing Yun Ran with them, she was too youthful.
Moreover, others charged just tens or hundreds per session. In such an environment, Yun Ran’s prices were tens of times higher and she still attracted business, which was pretty impressive.
"Although the foot traffic here is good, people fear comparisons, and not everyone is willing to spend this money. If you truly like fortune-telling, I can introduce you to some customers who can afford it."
Yun Jinyang was genuinely kind-hearted, not because he looked down on Yun Ran setting up a stall here, but he felt there was no need for Yun Ran to waste time in this place.
He always placed efficiency first, and Yun Ran waiting here for random visitors was somewhat a waste of time.
"Thank you for your kindness, big brother, but the people you’re talking about, they aren’t lacking masters. But it’s different here.
Although most of them are just seeking psychological comfort, there are also people who are truly desperate, with little chance of finding a real master.
My setting up a stall here is also a kind of practice, to give those without connections and resources a chance to change their fate."
Yun Jinyang nodded as if enlightened: "I see."
Just then, a middle-aged woman with a weathered face knelt directly before Yun Ran, clutching a stack of small change in her hand, with a devotion in her eyes unlike any other.
Even the conspicuous presence of Yun Jinyang did not distract her gaze in the least, showing her mind was free of distractions.
This scene shocked the nearby pedestrians who were unaware of the situation.
Someone who knew the story immediately came out to explain.
"Oh dear, this woman has come again. Every time there is a newcomer on this street, she is the first to kneel and beg, and it’s been three years!"
"It’s such a pity. I heard her daughter came here to attend high school and then went missing. They called the police but couldn’t find her. She’s all-in on finding her daughter and has spent a lot of money. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Unfortunately, she was mostly scammed. Her in-laws favor sons over daughters and can’t stand her wasting money like this, so they divorced her and kicked her out of the house.
It’s not easy for her being a woman alone. She works as a dishwasher in restaurants during the day and comes here at night to try her luck, hoping to meet a true master."
...
On hearing this, some passersby instantly felt a pang of sympathy, but they also thought her actions were foolish.
Although many of them had had their fortunes told here, they knew deep down whether it was effective or not. Spending this hard-earned money was less beneficial than saving it.
Considering her age and visibly poor health, they felt she should at least take care of herself.
A few young people listening to the story started to cry: "This is too sad. Haven’t the relevant authorities provided any help?"
"Of course, they have. How could they not? The dishwashing job she has now was found for her by the nearby community, and they even arranged accommodation for her."
Immediately, the young people began pulling out all the money they had, pooling it together amounting to almost a thousand, with the intention of donating to this poor mother.
However, some people’s gaze fell on Yun Ran with full faces of anger.
Previously, some had noticed Yun Ran’s stall, but because of her young age and the steep prices, along with the quietness in front of her stall, hardly anyone stopped by.
Most people did not take her seriously, even thinking it was a young person’s quirky behavior.
But now, Yun Ran was actually deceiving such a pitiful woman, something these people of righteousness could not tolerate.
"You young girl, at such a young age, there are so many other things to do. How can you cheat these poor people of their money? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Exactly, charging 2000 per fortune-telling session, you’re not afraid to live with a guilty conscience taking that money!"
"This is fraud in broad daylight with such high amounts, quickly call the police to catch her!"
...
Faced with these accusations, Yun Ran remained calm, but Yun Jinyang felt a bit uncomfortable. He had always been the center of attention since he was young, always surrounded by flowers and applause.
He could feel the malice coming from all directions. Even though it wasn’t aimed at him, it still affected him. However, seeing Yun Ran’s composed response, he began to doubt for the first time—was the Yun Ran before him really the same girl they knew from the past?
Yun Ran looked at the kneeling woman and sighed softly: "Get up."
In the woman’s eyes, a glimmer of hope flickered, and she hurriedly tried to shove the money into Yun Ran’s hands.
