The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 4 Blatant Discrimination
He recognized those eyes; they really were his senior brother's.

"Brother!"

But the man seemed not to recognize Song Ye. As Song Ye rushed towards him, he mechanically raised his arm, his palms clearly stained with an unnatural black.

"Pfft" sound.

Song Ye stared in astonishment at his senior brother's long fingernails, which had pierced his shoulder, causing blood to splatter out.

Standing next to him was Yun Ran, her face full of regret: "You, a veteran police officer, how could you not dodge such an attack!"

If she hadn't intervened in time, Song Ye would have lost his shoulder.

The police officers who had followed also rushed over, all pointing their guns at Yun Ran and the smelly, tightly wrapped man.

Yunran: ...

She had never been so speechless in her entire life. She had once been a master who was renowned throughout the neighborhood!

This is the first time I've been treated as a suspect!

She immediately looked at Song Ye with a hint of resentment, feeling as if she had a mouth all over her body but couldn't quite explain it.

Just then, another group of people in suits suddenly appeared. Behind them was a very handsome young man, but his face was pale and he looked like he was about to die.

This made Yunran take a few more glances, and then she suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the divination results were so strange when she was calculating her chances of survival; it turns out it was all about this man.

"Who goes there? Stand back at once!"

Yun Ran withdrew her gaze, but couldn't help saying, "Well, everyone relax, it's nothing serious, don't be nervous, or it'll be troublesome if the gun goes off accidentally."

Seeing the tense scene, the man in the suit revealed the totem on his body: "We are from the Xie family."

Upon hearing this, the police officers who had followed clearly breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Yun Ran warily.

This blatant discrimination made Yun Ran frown slightly, then she asked Ginseng Fruit in a low voice, "What's the background of this Xie family?"

In this novel, the Xie family, the Wang family, the Zhou family, and the Murong family are collectively known as the four great families of the capital, all of which are powerful clans with a history of hundreds of years.

Let me put it this way: the Yun family, to which your stepfather belongs, might be able to intimidate some people in Haicheng, but compared to the four major families, they're just ants on the ground. Understand?

Yun Ran was speechless: "With over 1000 chapters of plot twists, who could possibly notice these people?"

Seeing that the other party had only revealed their Xie family identity and hadn't even mentioned whether she was from a collateral branch or a direct branch, yet they were already being so polite, Yunran couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"We're taking this person with us."

Despite the sharp pain in his shoulder, Song Ye was unwilling to let the other party take his senior brother away, even if the person opposite him was a member of the Xie family.

He quickly stopped her: "No!"

The Xie family members were already being very polite by revealing their identities, so seeing Song Ye's lack of tact, they naturally didn't intend to pay him any attention.

One of them pulled out a silver-white whip and was about to step forward to tie up Song Ye's senior brother.

"We can't let them take my senior brother away!"

Yun Ran rolled her eyes when she saw Song Ye looking at her with such hope. Didn't she think she was bragging before? Now that she's facing the Xie family, she wants her to step up!
But it was indeed because of her mistake that Song Ye was injured by the person in front of him who had clearly been trained into a puppet, and felt a tiny bit of guilt.

But she still turned to the extremely handsome man and said, "I have something to say to you!" The police officers behind her, seeing Yun Ran speaking so rudely to the Xie family, couldn't help but want to step forward and cover Yun Ran's mouth. She really was a fearless newborn calf.

The young man, seeing Yun Ran's unwavering gaze, naturally understood that she was talking to him, completely unaffected by his presence.

From birth, he was destined to be cursed. Whether it was a nanny, a maid, a relative, or even the dog in the yard, anyone who came into contact with him would either become sick or disabled, or in severe cases, even lose their life.

Even strangers shouldn't make eye contact with him for too long. There have been cases where people have had nightmares and developed intense fears after just a few extra glances at his face.

Xie Xuzhi's eyes were playful: "Okay."

Yun Ran stepped forward directly, which startled the arrogant Xie family members. They didn't expect this little girl to be so reckless.

But seeing Yunran getting closer and closer without her getting a nosebleed or tripping, their expressions changed slightly.

"You captured this living dead puppet because you wanted to find the person behind it and help you break your fate, right?"

Xie Xuzhi's eyes immediately turned sharp: "Who exactly are you!"

Only then did he realize that the girl had grabbed the arm of the living dead puppet with her bare hands. His people only dared to touch it with the help of special magical artifacts.

"I can guarantee you won't be affected by your fate for six months. In exchange, how about you hand this person over to me?"

Yun Ran reluctantly took out a small, dark bead and placed it in his hand.

When Xie Xuzhi's hand touched the bead, his funnel-shaped body felt a long-lost warmth.

Even Master Mingyuan of Hongshan Temple couldn't do that.

His gaze was scrutinizing, but his expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he was a man of great cunning.

"Okay, the person is yours!"

In no time, the Xie family members disappeared completely, as if they had never been there at all.

"Captain, are you alright?!"

Watching the police officers chattering and asking about Song Ye, while also carrying the already subdued puppet into the car.

[Host, what did you give him? It actually increased his merit points!]

"The Heavenly Thunder Pearl, I'm curious now, what is this person's identity, and why can saving him accumulate merit? Is it just because he's a member of the Xie family?"

If he hadn't met me, this person would have had at most 7 days to live. The divination previously indicated that my life was related to Song Ye, and I thought it was his righteousness that could bless me.

I never imagined that Song Ye was just a stepping stone that led me to this person.

[Never mind all that, just focus on surviving!]

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow. "That's true."

But before leaving, she turned her head and looked in the direction where the Xie family had just left.

At that moment, the group was discussing what had just happened: "Young Master, that person was our last hope, and you're just giving up like this..."

"Perhaps, when Master Mingyuan said that there was still a last hope of catching this person, he meant something else entirely!"

Some of his subordinates didn't understand, but they were genuinely worried about their young master's health.
