Chapter 113 This merit is really hard to earn (2 updates)
"I'm just a fortune teller. I haven't looked into your past. I didn't know you before today!"

Tang Mingshan clearly didn't believe everything Yun Ran said. He simply couldn't understand what kind of schemes he, an old man, had to make.

Looking at Lao Liu, Tang Mingshan knew that this kind of attire belonged to the drivers of wealthy families, so at least he no longer suspected that Yun Ran was a con artist trying to scam money.

"Young lady, just say what your purpose is!"

Because of Lao Liu's appearance, Tang Mingshan clearly did not intend to continue to play along with Yun Ran and went straight to the point.

Yun Ran sighed. This was the trouble of not having a background or connections. People always suspected her of being a swindler or having ulterior motives.

In the past, all she had to do was claim to be a member of Qingfeng Temple, and even if she was just making things up, people would take it as fact.

Now it's all over. She said that people are now suspicious of her having some kind of secret, which is really exhausting!
"Although your previous position wasn't high, it wasn't too low either, so you should have some experience."

As she spoke, Yun Ran took out her credentials as a specially appointed staff member of the Special Administration Bureau.

He pushed it in front of Tang Mingshan: "Ordinary people in the Xuanmen sect cannot see the hidden dangers in your destiny."

"If it weren't for the good deeds you've done, I wouldn't have wasted so much time proving what I said."

Yunran wasn't particularly angry about not being trusted, but she felt a deep sense of powerlessness; accumulating merit was truly difficult.

Tang Mingshan opened the document Yun Ran handed him; he could tell at a glance whether it was genuine or not.

Tang Mingshan, who had been so aggressive just moments before, deflated like a punctured balloon after seeing Yun Ran's identification.

Although he knew some people in the Xuanmen sect, those people were clearly no match for the people from the Special Administration Bureau.

Yun Ran's words just now struck him like a boomerang.

Was something really going to happen to his children? Tang Mingshan felt a wave of dizziness; if he weren't in good health, he probably would have collapsed right now.

"Huh? Old Tang clearly didn't believe what this girl said just now, so why is his face so pale after he looked at the little notebook she handed him?"

"Am I the only one curious? What kind of certificate is that little booklet?"

"Didn't you see the man standing next to the young lady? He looks just like the personal driver of a CEO in TV dramas. Could she be some rich heiress out here experiencing life?"

"Could it be that she's a rich heiress who created a 'Taoist princess' scenario and deliberately asked Old Tang to act in it? He's acting so convincingly! I wonder how much he paid her!"

……

Yun Ran didn't care about these voices, but that didn't mean she couldn't hear them. She also didn't expect that these people would think that Tang Mingshan in front of her had been paid to act with her.

Some people even said that if the price was right, they would be willing to cooperate in acting and even appear on camera to shoot videos.

Yunran was speechless. These people's imaginations were just too rich.

She didn't know that many people had filmed movies in this area before, and these people probably worked as extras, which is why they were so outgoing.

Tang Mingshan quickly recovered, and when he looked at Yun Ran again, the sharpness in his eyes faded, replaced by a trace of fear.

"My children..."

The man, who bleeds but doesn't cry, spoke with a choked voice, which made Yunran feel a little uncomfortable.

He rummaged around and pulled out the tortoise shell from what appeared to be an ordinary pocket—actually just a decorative mustard seed space. "Shake it."

Now, Tang Mingshan lost his previous toughness, and his aura seemed to shrink instantly.

After shaking it a few times, the matching copper coin inside the tortoise shell fell out.

Upon seeing the divination result, Yun Ran frowned, clearly not expecting that Tang Mingshan's lonely old age would be implicated.

"Master, how is it?"

Before, she would address him as "little girl" in a lecturing tone, but now she directly calls him "master," and Tang Mingshan has absolutely no psychological barriers to it.

Those around him who knew him stared wide-eyed.

"No way, Old Tang has no integrity at all. How much money did he give? This is too fast. Is this still the Old Tang I used to know?"

"Hiss~ Don't you guys think that this might not be a script, but the real thing? Don't you know how stubborn Old Tang is?"
Don't you remember how the property management company overcharged and bullied the residents? People from higher up have come to try and smooth things over.

If it weren't for Lao Tang, we would have to pay an extra one or two hundred yuan every month, which would amount to several thousand yuan a year. For a whole neighborhood, that would be over a million yuan, and those bastards would just be getting away with it.

Later, they even organized everyone to work together to drive away that utterly incompetent property management company. Now, the new property management company is so much better!

"That's right, that's right. You can't doubt Uncle Tang, no matter who you suspect. Uncle Tang is a very capable man! How could you possibly bribe him with a little money?"

……

Yunran put the tortoise shell away and then looked at Tang Mingshan: "They got into trouble because they were implicated."

According to the divination, the accident should have occurred three days later during their gathering at sea; the ship had been tampered with and sank to the bottom of the sea.

These causes and effects are not their own, so what I can see is limited, but this time there should be quite a few deaths and injuries.

Unfortunately, there isn't enough evidence to identify the murderer, and reporting it to the police probably won't be accepted. Perhaps you should tell your children not to go.

Since Yunran has foreseen this, she will report it and see how the higher-ups arrange for someone to investigate.

If anyone else had said this, Tang Mingshan certainly wouldn't have believed it, but since Yun Ran was from the Special Administration Bureau, he believed her.

However, Yunran's words just now reminded him of the phone call his son had made earlier, telling him that he was going to attend some kind of seaside party.

The fact that his three children could attend shows that this party must have considerable influence, and the people there must be of high status.

At this point, time is of the essence. Rather than spending time investigating the details of the banquet at sea, it would be better to ask his son directly.

Tang Mingshan immediately found his son's phone number and dialed it.

This positive attitude made Yunran want to say, "As expected of a veteran, his awareness is truly high."

Yunran sent the information she obtained from Tang Mingshan directly to Shen Zhe, asking him to investigate.

The stall was smashed, and although Tang Mingshan ended up losing money, Yunran lost all interest in continuing her fortune-telling. She told Lao Liu to pack up and head home.
