Bang, bang, bang…
Another volley of shots rang out. Li Se, holding Xiao Feifei, rolled several more times on the ground. He felt the softness of her body, and in a different place, something might have happened. But in this situation, he didn’t overthink it.
“What are you doing?” Xiao Feifei was furious.
“Quiet, there’s an assassin!” Li Se said with utmost seriousness. He looked in the direction of the gunfire and, without another thought, jumped up with Xiao Feifei and quickly took cover behind the car.
“Why would there be an assassin?” Xiao Feifei asked, somewhat surprised.
“I don’t know. Maybe they’re after you, maybe they’re after me.” Li Se wasn’t sure who the target was, as the first shot was aimed at Xiao Feifei, but the subsequent ones were directed at him.
Xiao Feifei said, “It must be you they’re after. It’s definitely not me. I’m the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, after all. I’ve never encountered anything like this when I go out.”
Li Se’s expression was grim. If that were the case, they were likely targeting him. If he hadn’t reacted so quickly, and Xiao Feifei had been shot, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Old Master Xiao.
Bang, bang, bang…
The assailant clearly had no intention of letting Li Se go, firing several more shots, none of which hit their mark.
“What do we do now?” Xiao Feifei began to panic.
“Stay here and don’t move,” Li Se instructed, then darted out from behind the car. The assailant clearly sensed this and fired several more shots, all of which he dodged.
However, Li Se was closing in while dodging bullets. By the time the hidden assassin realized it, it was too late. Li Se’s speed was too great, and he seemed to have pinpointed the assassin’s location.
By the time the assassin fully reacted, it was too late. Li Se was upon him. He intended to engage in close combat, but before he could even make a move, he was punched to the ground, curled up in pain.
“Speak, who sent you?” Li Se asked coldly.
This was the second group of assassins he had encountered since arriving in the capital, and it was highly probable that both groups were sent by the same person who had sent the assassins in Qingyun City.
“Ugh…” The assassin suddenly bit into something and then spat out a mouthful of black blood, dying instantly.
Li Se frowned. The assassin had committed suicide by poison. This left him feeling helpless. After some thought, he called the security team. He and the security team were already well-acquainted.
Meng Chun greeted him with a smile, saying, “Young Master Li, this is a bounty assassin. Since he committed suicide, I’ll handle everything. You can go about your business.”
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.” Li Se departed immediately.
Returning to their original position, Xiao Feifei was still hiding behind the car, looking too scared to come out.
“Weren’t you very brave? Always venturing into places with heavy Yin energy, why are you so frightened now?” Li Se asked with a half-smile.
“I’m scared?!” Xiao Feifei emerged from behind the car. “This young lady isn’t scared; this is self-preservation. What do you know?”
As the car’s front windshield was shattered, they had to call for a tow truck to take it away. They then hailed a taxi to head to the Chen family.
“By the way, did you find the assassin?” Xiao Feifei asked curiously.
“He committed suicide by poison,” Li Se replied.
“Really? You didn’t kill him, did you?” Xiao Feifei asked suspiciously.
“Why would I kill him? I needed to interrogate him,” Li Se shook his head.
The driver, overhearing their conversation, cursed them in his mind as mentally unstable, talking about killing and such. Did young people today have fantasies?
“Right, what’s the situation with your Uncle Chen?” Li Se asked, puzzled.
“It’s not Uncle Chen, it’s Uncle Chen’s daughter. She’s my friend. Recently, for some reason, she’s been having nightmares and her spirits are very low,” Xiao Feifei explained.
Li Se looked at her and asked, “Did she often go with you to places with heavy Yin energy?”
“No, she only went with me once. What do you know? I went for a live stream, do you understand?” Xiao Feifei huffed.
“You do live streaming?” Li Se was surprised.
Xiao Feifei proudly said, “I have quite a few fans. Just from my live streaming income, I can earn over a hundred thousand a month!”
“However, it’s best not to go to places with heavy Yin energy. Women are mostly water, and water is Yin, so women have strong Yin energy. You like going to places with heavy Yin energy, and you’ll eventually get into trouble,” Li Se said very seriously.
“Then why haven’t anything happened to me yet?” Xiao Feifei still didn’t believe him.
Li Se said, “Isn’t your friend in trouble?”
“She only went once, and then something happened. But me, I’ve been there so many times and nothing’s happened. I say, Li the charlatan, you really talk nonsense,” Xiao Feifei taunted.
Li Se shook his head. “Everyone’s constitution is different. You come from the Xiao family, and judging by your appearance, you should have practiced martial arts since childhood, and a rather yang martial art at that. Normally, if women practice overly yang martial arts for a long time, it can leave hidden ailments. But because you also like going to places with heavy Yin energy, it has somewhat balanced your Yin and Yang. However, this is only a temporary solution and not a cure. It’s like getting out of one pit only to fall into another. Ultimately, you’re still in the pit.”
“You’ve got it all figured out. I hope you can stick to this theory when we go to Uncle Chen’s house. I’m sure you’ll be kicked out,” Xiao Feifei scoffed.
The driver shook his head and sighed, “Young people nowadays will go to any lengths to pick up girls…”
Li Se: “…”
Then, he glanced at the driver in the rearview mirror and smiled, saying, “Driver, have you been feeling unlucky with things lately?”
“How did you know?” the driver asked, somewhat surprised. His luck had indeed been bad recently.
“Because your印堂 (Yin Tang, the space between the eyebrows) is dark, but it’s not a bloody disaster. The disaster isn’t just physical; it could also be related to your career, or other things,” Li Se said.
“Are you a doctor or a charlatan? How come I can’t see his 印堂 is dark?” Xiao Feifei couldn’t help but retort.
Li Se chuckled, “The forehead is the Heavenly Court in physiognomy. A full forehead means officialdom; a square jaw means power. In physiognomy, the forehead is a very important area, governing one’s future and fortune. From the color changes in different parts of the forehead, one can roughly understand one’s career trajectory and the rise and fall of luck.”
“You’re a master! How can I resolve this?” The driver was already convinced.
Li Se said, “It’s very simple. In your case, you can replace all your old clothes with new ones.”
“Everyone has different auras and fortunes. Old clothes that are worn frequently naturally carry your low-key aura. Therefore, when your luck is not good, it’s best to buy more new clothes, especially brightly colored ones, to bring you good luck!”
