Live fortune telling: Sending a top star to prison right from the start.

The tower near the water gets the moon first.

Jun Yan looked at Lu Rou with a firm gaze and said slowly, "You need someone to take care of you."

She knew it, but she still had to refuse. He hadn't even said he liked her yet. If she agreed to let him stay, his intentions would be too obvious.

Lu Rou gently shook her head: "No need, I can take care of myself."

Jun Yan ignored him, speaking as if nothing was amiss, but his words concealed a threat.

"Either I stay here, or I tell your parents."

Having gained the upper hand, Lu Rouwei raised her chin, her attitude haughty: "How can you be like this?"

Jun Yan: "You choose."

Lu Rou remained silent, but the answer was clear; she was trying to reason with him.

"I'm afraid you might have ulterior motives towards me, since we're alone together."

Jun Yan's lips curved into a deeper smile. He bent down slightly, leaned closer to her, and spoke in an ambiguous tone.

"Miss Lu, isn't it too late for you to realize now that I have ulterior motives towards you?"

Lu Rou's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said calmly, "Then should I kick you out now?"

"It's too late." Jun Yan remained in the same position, without moving.

How could someone be so beautiful, with such fair and delicate skin? She was envious.

With his handsome face so close, Lu Rou reached out and pressed her hand against his broad chest: "Don't get so close."

Jun Yan sat up straight again: "If I wanted to do something to Miss Lu, do you think Miss Lu could escape?"

Lu Rou was flexible and adaptable, and her tone was slightly ingratiating.

"I trust Mr. Jun's character; he would never take advantage of someone in distress."

Jun Yan stopped teasing her and pointed to the door: "I'll stay in the outside care room. Call me if anything happens to you at night."

SVIP wards usually have a companion room, and he specifically chose a suite with a ward inside. If it's locked, no one can get in from the outside, reducing her concerns.

Knowing when to advance and when to retreat is a plus.

Lu Rou said softly, "Okay."

……

At this time, in the Ailao Mountains.

The lighting was dim, he wore a purplish-black cloak, and a silver ghost mask on his face exuded a chilling aura. His eyes burned with fierce anger.

"I've been planning this for months, so why did this unexpected event happen?"

The man in the purplish-black cloak suddenly raised his hand and smashed the porcelain cup in his hand to the ground with a loud crash, making the man in the cloak tremble.

His voice was deep and hoarse, yet it was like a poisoned arrow, each word piercing the heart.

The man in the black cloak stepped forward respectfully and said, "Master, I have found out that it was Xu Zheng, the Minister of State Security, who ordered the bridge to be sealed off."

"How would he know?"

"Fortune-telling anchor Lu Rou is a member of the Ministry of State Security."

"Take care of it."

"Yes."

……

"The meteorological bureau has issued a yellow alert for heavy rain. Heavy rainfall is expected in the city around 20 PM tonight. Residents are advised to take precautions..."

Yunyan's phone was still showing Lu Rou's profile: "Honey, why isn't Rou'er livestreaming today? It's been half an hour already, and it's raining. Do you think our Rou'er is stuck outside and can't get home?"

Lu Yuan stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder: "How about we make a video call to Rou'er?"

For some reason, Yun Yan felt a sense of unease. She frowned slightly and immediately dialed the number.

Lu Rou heard the video call notification tone on her phone and saw on the screen that it was Yun Yan calling.

She switched it to voice mode, then cleared her throat slightly before pressing the answer button.

"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?"

Yunyan's voice was full of concern: "Rou'er, where are you now?"

Lu Rou answered almost without hesitation, "I'm at home."

Hearing that her daughter was safe and sound at home, Yunyan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"That's good. Mom noticed that you haven't been live streaming all day, and it's raining heavily outside. Mom was worried that you might be stuck outside and unable to come back."

Lu Rou quickly explained, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired today and want to rest for a day, so I didn't do a live stream."

Yun Yan nodded in understanding, then asked in confusion.

"Rou'er, why don't you video chat with Mommy?"

Lu Rou's eyes darted around, and she immediately came up with a reason.

"Mom, I'm taking a shower right now, so it's not convenient to video chat."

Yunyan quickly said, "Oh, I see. Then Mom won't bother you anymore. It's a bit cold on rainy days, so make sure to dry your hair quickly after your bath. Don't catch a cold."

Lu Rou obediently replied, "Okay, I understand. Goodnight, Mom."

"Goodnight, baby." Yunyan said and then hung up the phone.

Lu Yuan, who had been observing silently from the side, saw a hint of grievance on Yun Yan's face after she put down her phone.

I didn't get to say a single word to my daughter from beginning to end.

Lu Rou put down her phone and looked out the window. Raindrops fell continuously, weaving a dense net that heavily enveloped the earth.

The "Ziwu Life-Saving Array" is empowered by the blood and energy of the one who sets it up. It feeds on the life force that comes from the past, and as the blood patterns are gradually devoured, they will turn into a torrent of evil power. When the array is activated, the bridge will break and people will die, thereby generating resentment.

If left unchecked, the tens of thousands of resentful spirits would undoubtedly be a boost to the power of evil cultivators.

The person behind this has a specific purpose.

Accompanying room.

The fluorescent light from the computer screen shone on Junyan's face as the parties in the online meeting continued to discuss project details and quarterly targets.

Jun Yan's originally relaxed brows gradually furrowed into a deep "川" shape, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.

The oppressive aura emanating from him sent a chill down the spines of everyone present, even through the screen.

His deep, resolute voice, laced with anger, pierced the ears of everyone through the microphone.

"The R&D department asks for additional funding without any real commitment, but the core advantages of the product haven't been properly refined. No matter how much more they invest, it's all for nothing! And the marketing department shouldn't just keep saying it's not working; they haven't offered a single constructive suggestion. If they can't do it, they should be replaced!"

For a moment, the conference room was completely silent. In the camera's view, someone quietly lowered their head, avoiding Jun Yan's sharp gaze that seemed to see right through people.

Some people had beads of sweat on their foreheads, their fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of their clothes, barely daring to breathe.

Jun Yan uttered two words: "Continue."

A high-ranking official was pushed forward, and he gave a report with trepidation.

Junyan gave key instructions from time to time, steadily controlling the pace of the meeting.

An hour later, the attendees breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the video window go dark. They wondered who had upset him.

Jun Yan had just leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples when his assistant, Jing Yue, called.

"Ninth Master, there are some documents that urgently need your signature."

"Bring it to Kyoto Hospital tomorrow morning."

Jing Yue was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Ninth Master, are you sick?"

Normally, Junyan has a regular schedule and a tight and efficient schedule, rarely disrupting his rhythm, so this request is really unusual.

Jun Yan frowned slightly, his gaze instantly sharpening like an eagle's: "Just do your job well."

The brief words, spoken in an unquestionable tone, made Jing Yue swallow back the rest of his words of concern, and he silently nodded in agreement.
