Chapter 58 - 54: I Believe You! I Believe You!

"How could my aunt have an accident? It’s impossible!"

"How could I stab my uncle?"

"Although I really hate him, I would never stab him with a knife."

Zhang Lingling’s eyes were red as she repeatedly emphasized these words.

Whether at home or at school, she was a troublemaker, often doing outrageous things to attract attention.

But to actually hurt someone, she didn’t have the courage to do that.

So, no matter what, she was unwilling to believe that she could stab her uncle and cause her aunt’s death.

"Sigh!"

Lu Heng let out a soft sigh, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

Then, he slowly spoke, "The root of the events should start tonight."

"Tonight, some of your friends will call you, inviting you to go clubbing."

"One of your friends gets harassed by a drunkard, and you can’t stand it, so you get into a conflict."

"You get slapped by the drunk, and in anger, you smash a beer bottle over his head, causing a bloody mess."

"As things escalate, someone calls the police, and your friends scatter in all directions."

"You and the drunkard are taken to the police station, but because it’s circumstantial, you’re let off with just medical compensation."

"Your aunt rushes to the police station upon getting the call and pays the med fees for the drunkard."

"Because of this less-than-a-thousand-yuan compensation, your aunt gets into an unprecedented argument with your uncle."

"Feeling guilty, you plan to make breakfast to ease the tension at home."

"But your uncle isn’t appreciative and discovers that ten thousand yuan hidden in the kitchen is missing."

"Your uncle accuses you of taking the money, demands its return, insults you, and threatens to kick both you and your aunt out."

"Finally, you couldn’t take it anymore, and you injured your uncle with a kitchen knife."

"As for what happened next, I’ve already told you before..."

Overall, everything Zhang Lingling is about to encounter in her future is due to a series of coincidences.

Such experiences would be hard for anyone to accept.

It is especially unacceptable for the young and rebellious Zhang Lingling.

At this moment, her eyes are red, and tears fall like broken pearls, pattering on the table.

"I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!"

"I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!"

She shook her head vigorously, refusing to believe this would be her future.

Lu Heng shook his head and continued, "If little friend doesn’t want to believe it, you can just go and call your friends."

"Just ask about their plans for tonight, and everything will become clear, won’t it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingling hurriedly wiped her tears away.

"Just wait!"

"I want to prove to everyone that you’re just a fraud..."

After speaking, she took out her phone and called one of her goth friends.

The fans watching all shook their heads when they saw this.

"Little girl, it seems you don’t understand the painstaking effort of the Taoist priest!"

"Dare you question the Taoist priest? It seems you haven’t been taught enough lessons!"

"No need for everyone to be so angry. After all, she is just an underage girl!"

"I think the Taoist priest is a bit of a saint!"

"Respect others’ fate, let go of the urge to help, avoid self-righteousness!"

"If the little girl has a rough fate, the Taoist priest can only help as much as he can."

"A rough fate is no excuse for self-indulgence."

"I find her quite pitiable, let’s be more tolerant and help her return to the Righteous Path..."

Meanwhile, Zhang Lingling’s call was finally connected.

"Hello? Is that Tingting? I want to ask about any plans for tonight?"

Following Lu Heng’s words, she asked her friend.

"Lingling, seems like there’s nothing planned for tonight..."

In response, a smug look appeared on Zhang Lingling’s face.

If there’s no plan tonight, how could anything happen?

But before she could relish in that thought, her friend spoke up again.

"Wait don’t hang up, I just remembered, we’re going to a bar in town tonight."

"Old Cat said a new bar opened in town, and it’s supposed to be fun and exciting."

"Old Cat even asked me to call you earlier, but I forgot..."

"Thunk..."

Before her friend could finish, Zhang Lingling’s wrist trembled, and the phone fell onto the table.

"Hello? Lingling, what’s wrong?"

"I didn’t forget on purpose..."

"Hello... hello... are you still there?"

Zhang Lingling’s face turned pale again.

Her trembling fingers ended the call.

And then, she was dumbfounded.

Could her future really unfold in the dreadful way the other party described, spending ten years in prison?

More importantly, she’d be the cause of her aunt’s death.

This is something she couldn’t even forgive herself for.

No wonder she would end up drinking poison at her aunt’s grave to join her...

Seeing her in this dazed state, the different feelings arose among the viewers.

"I told you, how could you dare question the Taoist priest?"

"See for yourself, your friends are all set to head to the bar in town, so what do you have to say?"

"The Taoist priest has already clearly told you, if you don’t change, everything he described will become your future."

"Little sis, it’s not too late to turn back now!"

"And you still have the nerve to cry? Isn’t your future all due to your own doing?"

"Exactly, your aunt treats you so well, like her own child. And you? Rebelling and causing trouble, can you face her?"

"She’s just a child... please don’t let her off!"

"For your aunt’s sake, you must avoid causing trouble in the future..."

Seeing the words of blame or encouragement from the viewers, Zhang Lingling cried even harder.

Lu Heng sighed again.

This was the most he had sighed since he started fortune-telling live streams.

He spoke again, "Little friend, if you still don’t believe it, you can stay home tonight at ten."

"Your uncle will sneak out to gamble, losing all the money made from selling grain."

"He’s set his sight on the money your aunt hid in the kitchen, and he’ll come to steal it at ten tonight..."

To be honest, Zhang Lingling’s uncle was a scumbag.

No, it would be an insult to scumbags to call him that.

This scumbag not only lost a year’s worth of grain money through gambling, but he also stole his wife’s money hidden in the kitchen.

What’s more infuriating is that this scumbag had the audacity to frame Zhang Lingling for it.

He even used that as an excuse to kick Zhang Lingling out of the house.

Such pure scum is hard to find!

"I believe it! I believe it!"

"I’m willing to believe!"

"Boohoo..."

Zhang Lingling completely broke down.

Tears, like raindrops, splattered on the table.

The other party had laid out her future incidents so clearly and plainly.

What reason did she have not to believe?

That future which sounded utterly miserable, was indeed her own future!

Not only did she cause her aunt’s death, but she also ended up spending over a decade in prison.

This was something the fifteen-year-old girl could not come to terms with.
