You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

No one suspected anything, and some even understandingly helped Tan Zhiyuan up.

"Mr. Tan, are you alright? Do you need me to help you over there?"

Tan Zhiyuan waved his hand.

"No, no, I can still walk, it's just... I'm in a bit of a hurry."

He was quite the actor. While clutching his stomach, he rummaged in his pocket, pulled out two sheets of toilet paper, and forced a smile: "I brought toilet paper, that's good."

"Please keep an eye on things for me, I'll be right back."

Xi Meng scoffed.

"Her acting was actually pretty good."

She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Su Chen: "Aren't you going to stop it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Heng stood up.

When Tan Zhiyuan was stopped, he subconsciously straightened up, glanced warily at Zheng Heng, and quickly returned to his original posture, feigning pain: "Sorry, my stomach hurts and I need to go to the toilet urgently. If you need help, please ask someone else..."

His remaining words were choked in his throat as Zheng Heng grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

Cai Guobang said with some envy, "Being tall is really an advantage."

Tan Zhiyuan could still spin around a few times under his raised arm.

Xi Meng glanced at him: "Do you want to grow taller?"

"Kind of."

Seeing that Xi Meng seemed to be deep in thought, he smiled.

"Grandma, you don't really want to help me grow taller, do you?"

"if not?"

"I'm just thinking about it. I also want to be more handsome, cooler, and more knowledgeable. I want to be able to speak eloquently and fluently, and I want to be even more amazing than Master Su..."

Xi Meng blurted out, "More powerful than Master Su? You might as well be dreaming."

"Yeah, just dream about it." Cai Guobang grinned. "Who doesn't like to become stronger and more beautiful? Human desires are endless; how can they all be satisfied?"

Xi Meng's lips moved slightly.

Cai Guobang said in a coquettish tone, "If all my wishes are fulfilled, then I won't be myself anymore. I'll look like a stranger to you. What if you don't like me anymore? Right?"

Su Chen and Lin Jingyu exchanged glances, both with faint smiles on their lips.

Lin Jingmo raised an eyebrow.

The Lin family was quite influential in Hong Kong, so from childhood to adulthood, he was always the one being flattered and fawned over.

Of course, those who can do such a thing are not from wealthy families.

But Tsai Kuo-pang is different.

The fact that he was willing to offer to take him to do bungee jumping business in Shanghai, and that he didn't show any fear when interacting with Su Chen, shows that he is no ordinary person.

He made that coquettish and fawning gesture...

That's a bit too undignified.

The thought of doing that...

Lin Jingmo quickly shook his head.

Absolutely impossible!

As expected, those who can get along well with Su Chen are not ordinary people.

While he was thinking, Zheng Heng had already brought Tan Zhiyuan back.

The latter was still acting, dramatically clutching both his stomach and buttocks at the same time.

Zheng Heng threw him onto the tea table. Lin Jingyu stepped aside, and Tan Zhiyuan quickly braced himself with his hands to avoid hitting his forehead.

"I'm a medical student, so don't embarrass yourself with your little tricks."

Zheng Heng's words made Tan Zhiyuan stiffen.

He subconsciously glanced towards the stone-cutting area.

Sure enough, several small business owners noticed that he was being blocked and were talking about it.

He quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and hoped they wouldn't come any closer.

Then, with a slightly pleading tone, she smiled ingratiatingly at Zheng Heng.

"Young man, we... didn't know each other before, did we?"

"We have no grudges or conflicts between us, right? There's no need to treat me like this, is there?"

Zheng Heng snorted: "Don't you know what you've done?"

"I didn't do anything. I just came to participate in the auction, right?"

Tan Zhiyuan vehemently defended himself, saying, "It was also good luck that I was with Master Zhou..."

His shoulders slumped as he said this.

Turning my head, I saw a yellow talisman floating above.

Stunned, Tan Zhiyuan frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Have you met Master Zhou?"

Tan Zhiyuan nodded: "Nonsense! If I hadn't met Master Zhou, how could he have guided me on how to select rough stones?"

"Let me tell you, Master Zhou is amazing, I..."

"Did you only see him? Or were there other people with him?"

Tan Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment: "So... Master Zhou and his two disciples."

Are you sure there's no one else here?

Tan Zhiyuan frowned and subconsciously pursed his lips, wanting to shut up.

Su Chen: "Speak!"

Tan Zhiyuan opened his mouth: "Confirmed, it's just the three of them."

"When you met, was there anything that impressed you, the decor, or the smell...?"

Tan Zhiyuan frowned.

His forehead was covered in sweat.

"me……"

He felt a sweet taste in his throat, but his hand instinctively covered his chest.

Zheng Heng sensed something was wrong and rushed over to stop him.

But when he helped Tan Zhiyuan up, blood was already spilling from the corner of the latter's mouth, and he was barely breathing.

When I checked his heart again, there was no pulse.

Su Chen said calmly, "His body has long been poisoned by a curse."

There was no regret in his tone, only a sense of melancholy: "This Master Zhou is not simple."

As Zheng Heng put Tan Zhiyuan down, the small business owners who had noticed something was wrong rushed over.

Seeing his ashen face, I mustered my courage and tentatively probed him, only to be startled.

"Mr. Tan, what's wrong with Mr. Tan?"

Zheng Heng frowned: "Dead."

"how come?"

"Didn't he just have a stomachache?"

"Yeah, and it didn't hurt that much to me, how could someone die like that?"

Zheng Heng shrugged: "I don't know about that. I'm a doctor. I noticed something was wrong with him and wanted to examine him, but I didn't expect him to fall ill so quickly..."

He tried to cover for Tan Zhiyuan in his words, but a sudden exclamation came from the stone-cutting area, and then the sound stopped abruptly.

After a long silence, an unbelievable question erupted.

"How could there be no jade?"

"That's right, isn't it said that Master Zhou's youngest apprentice inherited his true skills and that the rough stones he selected must contain jadeite?"

"Exactly! I told you it would almost guarantee us a profit, so what's going on now?"

"Mr. Tan, you...wait, where is Mr. Tan?"

"He seemed to be feeling unwell and said he needed to use the restroom. Perhaps this was a rough stone that someone else had put in, not one that Master Zhou's young apprentice had chosen. Don't worry, let's take another look. Didn't we cut out so much jadeite before?"

"Yes, yes, Master, keep cutting. Choose the smaller piece; it'll be faster that way."

"That's right, choose the smaller one."

……

Even though a group of people had a bad feeling, they were hesitant to believe it and hoped that it would be confirmed quickly.

However, the small rough stone was soon cut in half.

There is no jade.

"Master, cut some more," someone urged.

Many more people were petrified and in disbelief, and then they all wanted to find Tan Zhiyuan.

Several small business owners near the tent noticed the unusual commotion and rushed over to investigate.

I witnessed firsthand how another rough stone was cut in half and turned completely white.

"How can it be?!"

"This stone was personally selected by Master Zhou's esteemed disciple. I took it and put it away carefully. How could this be?"

The speaker staggered, turned his head and asked, "Where's Boss Tan? Where's Master Zhou's apprentice? Where are they?"

"Did they know they were going to be exposed and run away beforehand?!"

"Damn it, I told you this guy surnamed Tan was weird, but you insisted I was being paranoid. Look, look, all our money has gone down the drain!"

"Where's Boss Tan?" The young boss, who had just arrived, was grabbed by the collar and questioned. "You left for a while, tell me! Are you shills for Boss Tan? Just trying to scam us out of our money?"
