Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Shen Nian glanced at him.

"The last person to talk nonsense like this in front of me was those dogs from the Shen family."

"You've seen what happened to them, haven't you?"

Pei Yuanzhi said with a face full of heartache, "I'm sorry, Niannian, it's all because I didn't care enough about you before, I didn't even know they were mistreating you like this..."

Shen Nianqi said, "The way you're saying it, it's as if you don't treat Shen Nian the same way."

Pei Yuanzhi downplayed the issue, saying, "Niannian, are you still angry about Meng Qingqing? I assure you, I will have no further contact with her."

"From beginning to end, you're the only one I've ever loved! Our engagement can continue!"

"Continue the engagement?"

Shen Nian said coldly, "You don't need a mirror to pee? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of person you are?"

"You think you're worthy?"

Was Gu Yuncheng kicking his left or right leg last time?

As she was pondering this, a figure suddenly stood between her and Pei Yuanzhi.

"If you take another step forward, I won't mind calling immediately to terminate the cooperation between the Pei and Meng families."

Pei Yuanzhi's pupils contracted for a moment.

The visitor was none other than Meng Ke, the eldest son of the Meng family.

He had shaved his head, and his features were naturally handsome, but his expression carried a sinister air. He didn't look like a pampered rich kid, but rather like a mercenary who had been licking blood off a knife's edge.

In fact, according to Assistant Lu's information, the Meng family did engage in underground black market business in their early days.

However, he has cleaned up his image in recent years and transformed into a clean and honest real estate tycoon.

Pei Yuanzhi was clearly taken aback by his expression and tone, and glanced at Shen Nian unwillingly: "Niannian, let's contact each other on social media."

Then he left, looking back every few steps.

Meng Ke turned to Shen Nian, his manner impeccably polite: "Miss Shen, are you alright?"

Shen Nian shook her head: "It's nothing."

It should be Pei Yuanzhi who is in trouble.

Since breaking his normal walking leg is useless, let's just break his third leg too.

That would end it all and save him from harming innocent girls again.

"Is there anything else?"

Meng Ke chuckled softly: "I've heard that Miss Shen... is a master of metaphysics?"

He shook his phone screen, which prominently displayed Shen Nian's live stream account homepage.

"Mr. Meng, would you like your fortune told?"

Shen Nian said calmly, "Given Mr. Meng's status, he should have no shortage of capable mystical practitioners around him."

Meng Ke smiled and said, "But Miss Shen was able to rescue Young Master Gu and even gain the approval of the Gu family, so she must have her own unique abilities."

"I understand the principle that there are always people more capable than you, and mountains beyond mountains. It is precisely because the mystical arts masters of the Meng family could not solve the problem that I chose to seek help from other mystical arts masters."

"If Miss Shen can resolve this matter, the Meng family is willing to offer you this amount as compensation."

Meng Ke made a gesture.

five million.

That shows some sincerity.

Shen Nian lowered her eyes, then, playing along, said, "I need to know what the problem you're facing, right?"

"This is a long story..."

"Last month, a commercial building invested and constructed by the Meng family was completed and inaugurated."

"The building itself is located in a feng shui treasure land. Both the groundbreaking and the ribbon-cutting ceremony were held on auspicious days. But for some reason, that building is... very strange."

"What's so strange?"

"For example, the head of the construction team jumped off the top floor of the building on the night of the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"Meng's project payments have always been settled on time, and there has never been a situation of wage arrears. We investigated the person in charge afterward and found nothing that would have driven him to suicide. This is a very strange thing."

"Another rather strange thing is that some customers have entered a non-existent fourth basement level while shopping at the mall at night."

"This shopping mall was built with only three underground floors, there is absolutely no fourth underground floor, but the customer is convinced that she went to the fourth underground floor."

"The cries of women heard by security guards during their night patrols, and the occasional car accidents at the entrance of the shopping mall, are all strange things about this shopping mall."

"This commercial building was originally the Meng family's key project this year, but with this incident, resolving the strange phenomenon and stopping the losses is the Meng family's only hope."

Shen Nian nodded thoughtfully: "I see..."

"But are you sure you didn't do anything... that you shouldn't have done during the construction process?"

Meng Ke remained calm: "No."

"Miss Shen, you are overthinking it. Our Meng family are legitimate business people."

"Well then, I'll go to the mall to check on things tomorrow night at 10 PM."

"But I can't guarantee that I can solve the problems of this shopping mall."

Meng Ke asked, "Do you need me to come pick you up?"

"unnecessary."

She doesn't intend to let too many people know where she lives.

"Well then...see you tomorrow."

"Shen Nian."

A clear, cold male voice came from behind Shen Nian.

"What are you talking about?"

Meng Ke glanced at Gu Qiwen and said casually, "We didn't talk about anything. I just wanted to ask Miss Shen for a favor."

"Mr. Gu, there's no need to be so nervous. Miss Shen isn't a child anymore; she shouldn't have to follow any rules about not talking to strangers, right?"

"Ordinary people really don't need to be on guard."

Gu Qiwen wore a half-smile, his tone ambiguous: "But everyone in Jinghai's elite circles knows that Meng Shao's mistress always disappears every now and then."

Every now and then?

Shen Nian glanced at Gu Qiwen.

It seems that Hu Die's sister was not the only victim.

How many innocent girls' remains are buried beneath that building?

A crack finally appeared on Meng Ke's face: "...I didn't expect President Gu to believe such baseless rumors."

"My lovers and I were just getting what we wanted; once they got the money, they naturally left on their own."

Gu Qiwen scoffed lightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and reached out to put his arm around Shen Nian, leading her away from the garden.

He put Shen Nian into the car that was already waiting outside the hotel.

Gu Yuncheng was already sitting in the car.

He had never liked banquets or similar occasions. Now that the matter of Shen Nian was resolved, he simply had the driver take them back to the Tiannan Mountain Villa.

Shen Nian glanced at the bored Gu Yuncheng and asked, "Are you free tomorrow night?"

"have!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuncheng turned to look at Shen Nian: "Are we getting another job?"

"Um."

"It's still your old profession."

Exploring a haunted shopping mall late at night sounds exactly like something Gu Yuncheng would have done in the past.

"Just stay by my side then, don't wander off."

Shen Nian gave her instructions.

at the same time.

Sitting in the car, Pei Yuanzhi felt a surge of resentment as he thought about Shen Nian's indifferent attitude.

If it weren't for the fact that she was Young Master Gu's savior, he wouldn't have cared about her at all!

Now that she has severed ties with the Shen family in front of so many people, and is no longer even a fake heiress, Shen Nian should be grateful that he is willing to reinstate their engagement!

Pei Yuanzhi was burning with anger when the driver in front suddenly shouted, "Young Master Pei, something's wrong! Our car brakes seem to have failed!"

"There are people ahead! What do we do, Young Master Pei!"

"What's your name?"

Pei Yuanzhi said impatiently, "If they die, it's because they're cheap and blind."

The driver turned pale, thinking to himself, "I've killed someone; I'm the one who'll go to jail."

He gritted his teeth, swerved the steering wheel sharply, and crashed into a large tree by the roadside.

The glass shattered instantly and flew out in all directions.

Pei Yuanzhi felt a chill in his lower body.

He looked down.

I saw blood spilling from the black fabric.

Pei Yuanzhi fainted amidst immense pain and disbelief.
