    Yesterday, after Gu Zhiqi did a reading for him, even though he didn’t take it seriously, he couldn’t help but remember it well.


    He remembered the time and ce Gu Zhiqi had mentioned, sost night, as soon as he arrived in Yun Town, he instructed the staff to make sure not to book Traceability Hotel.


    But who could have known that all the hotels in Yun Town were either fully booked or undergoing renovations, leaving only Traceability Hotel with avable rooms.


    Fine, he’d stay for one night and then leave.


    Early this morning, he nned to set off for Yan City, but because ofst night’s sudden heavy rain, the road from Yun Town to Yan City had copsed and was blocked, making it impossible to go.


    He refused to believe in curses, so he called for a private ne, only to find out that the ne had malfunctioned!


    Afterward, he tried thousands of methods to avoid staying at Traceability Hotel that night, but without exception, due to one reason or another, he couldn’t leave the hotel in the end.


    Now, as the time was nearing eleven o’clock, he began to feel a little panicked.


    The moment Tang Yichen stepped into Su Yunling’s room, afraid of being thrown out, he grabbed a pillow and plopped himself down on the sofa, “Third Brother, please let me stay just one night, lend me your sofa for the evening.”


    Su Yunling raised his eyebrows, “Didn’t you say that the ‘child’ is a scam artist?”


    “I’ve thought it over, and I believe it’s better to be credulous than to be doubtful,” said Tang Yichen, clutching the pillow and speaking earnestly, “After all, if I believe, the worst that can happen is I get scammed.


    If I don’t believe, and it turns out to be true, what I might lose could be my life.”


    Hearing this, Su Yunling gave a faint smile and didn’t kick Tang Yichen out.


    Actually, he was quite curious himself.


    Su Yunling picked up a script and casually flipped through it beside Tang Yichen.


    Tang Yichen, however, sat restlessly, ncing at his phone every now and then.


    It was nearly ten fifty-nine, and Tang Yichen was bing increasingly tense.


    He stared at the phone screen without blinking, even holding his breath.


    Finally, the time on his phone turned to eleven o’clock.


    Yet, nothing happened.


    Tang Yichen finally exhaled a long breath, “I knew it, that girl was just short on cash, trying to…”


    “Bang”


    Before he could finish, the sound of gunfire rang out close by.


    Tang Yichen’s words came to an abrupt halt.


    “Bang bang bang” – a session of gunshots continued to echo in his ears.


    “Damn!


    So there really was an ambush.” Tang Yichen threw the pillow he held and got up.


    Su Yunling was sitting beside him reading the script; apart from his hand gripping the script slightly tighter when the first shot rang out, his expression remained unchanged for the rest of the time, as if he couldn’t hear the intense gunfire outside at all.


    Tang Yichen had already reached the door when he noticed that Su Yunling hadn’t reacted, so he stopped and looked back at him, “Third Brother, didn’t you hear that?”


    Seeing Su Yunling unmoved, Tang Yichen started to wonder if he was just too nervous and had experienced auditory hallucinations.


    “If you’re so anxious, you can go check it out yourself,” Su Yunling said without even lifting his head, casually turning another page of the script.


    Tang Yichen: ?


    ncing at Su Yunling, then back at the direction of the door, and listening to the ceaseless gunshots, Tang Yichen finally opted to approach the door.


    Hey down at the door, ear pressed against it, wanting to listen for any activity first.


    But just as he put his ear to the door, the gunshots seemed to vanish.


    “Huh?


    Why has it gone quiet?” Tang Yichen muttered under his breath, continuing to lie beside the door, listening intently.


    “Thump thump thump”


    The door was suddenly knocked, making Tang Yichen jump in fright.


    “Ouch, damn!


    Third Brother, they’vee, they must know I’m hiding here,” Tang Yichen stepped back, sitting on top of a cab by the door, squeezing himself up against it.
