After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

On her way home, seeing a roadside food stall, Lin Guiyi asked the driver to stop and wait for her by the roadside.

The street was lined with many food stalls. Lin Guiyi looked at each stall and bought the snacks he liked.

Several thugs who looked like petty criminals blocked Lin Guiyi's way. Just as he was about to walk around them, his wrist was grabbed.

"What are you doing?" Lin Guiyi struggled to break free of the restraints, but the other party was very strong.

Several boys gathered around Lin Guiyi, shoving her and trying to take her away.

Lin Guiyi was slowly led away. Being quite sensible, she seized the opportunity to bite the wrist of the person who was holding her. Taking advantage of the other person's pain, she quickly broke free from the group and ran outside.

"Everyone, there's a human trafficker here... mmm." Lin Guiyi struggled continuously.

"Run, but you still got caught." The man's voice whispered close to Lin Guiyi's ear.

Those who heard the noise looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall man embracing a beautiful woman, covering her mouth with his hand, while the woman struggled.

"Let her go right now! Or I'll call the police!"

“I am her brother. My sister has mental problems and doesn’t recognize people. I was planning to take her home.”

"Heh, I heard that clearly just now. That trick is so old-fashioned." As soon as he finished speaking, several thugs surrounded the boy, looking at him with hostility.

"Don't come any closer, there are a lot of people around here." The boy put his hands in front of his chest.

These words seemed to trigger something, and the thugs immediately started fighting.

The boy fought back defiantly, but ultimately lost.

"Everyone, they're all human traffickers! Catch them! Ah, ouch, everyone call the police!" the boy shouted with difficulty.

The thugs turned their heads and glared menacingly at the crowd.

People around them kept their distance when they saw this, not wanting to get involved in any trouble.

After beating up the boy, the thugs quickly caught up with Lin Guiyi, who had already been taken away.

While everyone's attention was focused on the boy, the man took the opportunity to drag and pull Lin Guiyi into a deserted alley.

Once they entered the alley, the man released Lin Guiyi.

As soon as he let go, Lin Guiyi immediately took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and his opponent.

"Who hired you? How much did you pay? I'll give you double." Lin Guiyi stared intently at the man, watching his every move.

The man seemed to have heard something funny and burst into laughter.

Lin Guiyi looked at the man with a strange expression and burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, the man replied, "In our line of work, we're all about keeping our word."

"three times!"

"Hmm..." The man stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Lin Guiyi saw an opportunity and tried to rush out again, but several thugs walked in from the alley entrance. Lin Guiyi wanted to curse himself; he should have rushed over like a madman when he was alone.

"Brother, why haven't you made a move yet?"

"She offered three times the price to let us go."

"three times!"

"There are so many, should we release them, bro?"

"She has so much money?"

"Are you stupid? She's a celebrity."

The thugs were overjoyed; three times the amount was a lot of money.

"No, we have to keep our word, let's go!" The man frowned and interrupted sharply; hesitating for even a few seconds was already wrong.

Since their leader had said so, several thugs stepped forward to grab Lin Guiyi.

"Get out of here, Zhang Lin! Does your grandma know you're bullying others outside?!" Lin Guiyi shouted.

Zhang Lin? The thugs stopped in their tracks. How did she know their boss?

Zhang Lin stepped forward, stood before Lin Guiyi, and asked solemnly, "You know me!?"

Lin Guiyi straightened up, pretending to be profound and unfathomable, and slowly said, "I am not very talented, but I know a little about fortune telling."

"Ha, fortune telling?" Zhang Lin's eyes were filled with sarcasm, clearly showing that he didn't believe Lin Guiyi's words.

"Everyone talks about science now, you're so funny, miss."

"Haha, fortune teller, you don't even think before you speak."

The thugs burst into laughter. How ridiculous! Fortune telling?

Lin Guiyi looked at the group quietly and said, "Your names are Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Zi. Am I right?"

The thugs were all surprised; the woman had been right. Could she really be a fortune teller?

Zhang Lin's expression was serious: "Then why didn't you foresee this happening today?" He didn't know how this woman knew their names; she might have used some unknown means.

"You layman wouldn't know this, but the biggest taboo in fortune telling is predicting your own fate, as it's said to shorten your lifespan," Lin Guiyi said mysteriously.

"It's fate that we met today. I can show you a little bit, would you like to try?"

The thugs looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and eagerness at the fortune-telling.

One of the thugs cautiously spoke up: "Boss, why don't we give it a try? If it doesn't work, we can always take action later."

"Yes, brother."

Hearing his companions' words, Zhang Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Zhang Lin looked at Lin Guiyi: "Tell me, anything is fine."

Lin Guiyi carefully examined the faces of the group, then pretended to be a fortune teller.

"Zhang Lin's parents divorced early on. He lived with his father, but his father remarried and had children not long after, so he was raised by his grandmother from a young age."

"Because of various reasons, you didn't get along well with your classmates at school, but you also made these friends."

"This time, you promised someone to come and teach me a lesson and take pictures. Actually, your grandmother is sick, but the family has no money, and your father doesn't care. You had no choice but to take this risk. This is the first time you've done this."

“I’m right!” Lin Gui looked at Zhang Lin with a smile and a confident expression.

Zhang Lin glanced at Lin Guiyi without saying a word, but anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong with Zhang Lin's expression.

"Master, may I take a look at myself?"

"Me, me, me, Master, look at me."

Lin Guiyi briefly explained, leaving the group of people stunned.

"Master, can you tell my lottery numbers?" His eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhang Lin also looked at Lin Guiyi, waiting for an answer.

Lin Guiyi shook his head: "No, that would mean everyone could do that, and they'd be struck by lightning." He spoke the last few words slowly and deliberately, his voice carrying a threatening tone.

"Oh, really?!"

"Really, otherwise I would have been one of the world's richest people long ago."

The thugs' expressions immediately fell.

Taking advantage of everyone's emotional state, Lin Guiyi quietly moved his feet and gently bypassed the group.

Where are you going?!

Lin Guiyi turned around and laughed it off: "It's nothing, you guys are done calculating, I'll be leaving now."

"No," the group said, surrounding Lin Guiyi again.

"What are you doing? You said you'd let me go after you finished speaking."

"I never said anything about taking action."

"No, no, no, I'm a master! Are you sure you want to do this? Zhang Lin, how about this? You can pretend to do it, and I'll cooperate with you. You take the money, and I'll be fine. How about that? Nobody will know anyway."

"This is a lie."

Knowing that Zhang Lin was wavering, Lin Guiyi pressed on, saying, "Think about what your grandmother taught you. Besides, this guy sent you to bully a girl; he's obviously tasteless."

“In ancient times, there were righteous people who robbed the rich to help the poor. You are not much different.”

My inner monologue is screaming: You guys are taking money to bully girls, and you still want to keep your word? Haha, what a contradiction.
