Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Didn't you notice anything at all?

Shen Jingshu countered, "Since you started dating, has he ever shown any normal intimacy between couples? He doesn't hold your hand in public, and even deliberately avoids physical contact with you, unwilling to even touch you. Does that sound like someone who truly likes you?"

Sweetie's face gradually paled. Recalling the past month they had spent together, it was indeed as Shen Jingshu had said; the two of them hadn't even held hands, which was the most basic thing.

"True attraction between opposite sexes is instinctive, a desire to be together all the time. Have you ever felt even a little bit of that between you?" Shen Jingshu's tone softened. "It's good that you came early. Now that you know the truth, you haven't paid too much price, and it's good to cut your losses in time."

Sweetie was both ashamed and angry. Her eyes instantly reddened, and she clenched her fists, saying indignantly, "How could he do this! Isn't this playing me for a fool and insulting me? It's too much! I knew it! Every time he's with me, he talks about my brother all the time, always asking about his likes and dislikes and schedules. So that's what he was up to! I have to expose him!"

Just then, Tian Tian's phone suddenly rang, and the words "brother" appeared on the screen.

She quickly gifted a sports car to the live stream, paid the divination fee, and said in a tearful yet energetic voice, "Streamer, thank you so much! Here's the divination fee, I'm hanging up now, I'm going to settle accounts with that scumbag!"

Before Shen Jingshu could reply, she hurriedly hung up the line and immediately answered her brother's call.

A clear and pleasant young voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with a hint of helpless affection: "Sweetie, what's wrong? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Upon hearing her brother's voice, Tian Tian's pent-up grievances erupted instantly, and she burst into tears, crying out, "Brother—!"

"What happened?" The older brother's tone immediately became tense. "Did your boyfriend bully you? Where are you? I'm coming over right now to back you up!"

"No, don't come any closer!" Tian Tian hurriedly stopped crying, still worried about her boyfriend's feelings for her brother, and afraid that it would be even more awkward if they bumped into each other. "I...I'll come find you. Wait for me in the dorm. I have something very important to tell you!"

After hanging up the live stream, Tian Tian immediately rushed to her brother's dormitory building. As soon as she saw her brother, she revealed the whole truth: her boyfriend liked her and was using her as a stepping stone.

The older brother was furious and annoyed after hearing this. He was a straight man through and through, and he was enraged to learn that someone had such filthy thoughts about coveting him and even using his own sister.

The siblings immediately devised a plan. They lured the scumbag out under the pretense of sweetness, exposed his intentions on the spot, and gave him a good beating.

With tears welling in her eyes, Tian Tian decisively broke up with him, sternly warning him never to appear in front of her again. Her brother, his face cold and stern, pointed at him and angrily shouted, "I'm straight, and I'll never have any feelings for you in this lifetime. If you dare to take another step near my sister, I'll break your legs!"

The scumbag was both ashamed and angry, but he was in the wrong and had no words to say, so he could only run away in a sorry state.

After Tian Tian's gossip, Shen Jingshu's live stream saw its popularity surge to a peak, with the number of online viewers rapidly increasing to five hundred.

Many netizens found the divination results too shocking and forwarded them to their friends. Even those who didn't believe in metaphysics wanted to come and watch the bizarre gossip. The live stream was filled with amazement and discussion, and no one was willing to leave.

After completing the three divinations, Shen Jingshu did not end the broadcast. Instead, she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to meditate and cultivate.

Seeing her demeanor, netizens became even more convinced that she was a true member of the Xuanmen sect. The barrage of comments was full of conviction and anticipation, with everyone waiting to connect with Xu Yun at 6 PM to see the truth in the bridal chamber.

Meanwhile, things finally started to improve with Niu Niu's parents.

Niu Niu's mother told the police officers the address given by Shen Jingshu. At first, the police officers thought it was absurd and ridiculous, thinking that the parents were desperate to find their daughter and were grasping at straws. However, they couldn't resist Niu Niu's mother's pleading and said that they would let the police take a look, just in case there was a glimmer of hope.

The police officers, feeling sorry for the victim and adhering to the principle of not giving up on any clues, agreed to the request and immediately contacted the local police in Beijing to assist in the investigation.

When the news reached the Beijing Municipal Police Bureau, it happened that Deputy Director Li Hanting was on duty.

Li Hanting, 27 years old this year, has solved many major cases since graduating from the police academy. At a young age, he has become the deputy director. If he solves another major case, he will become the youngest director in the history of the police department.

When he received the request for assistance, his first reaction was disbelief, dismissing it as mere superstition and divination. However, upon reflection, he recalled the human trafficking ring he had been following recently, and the route and time mentioned in the report subtly matched. After a moment's thought, he immediately ordered: "Organize police forces immediately to go to room 303 of the designated small hotel to verify the information. Be extremely careful and cautious, and do not alert the suspects!"

Li Hanting personally led a team to raid the small hotel. The operation was swift and efficient, and three members of the trafficking gang were captured on the spot. Two abducted children were successfully rescued from room 303, one of whom was Niu Niu.

Standing outside the hotel, Li Hanting lit a cigarette, his brow furrowed. He had someone investigate the livestream room, his mind filled with doubt—did this streamer truly possess esoteric skills, or was he colluding with a human trafficking gang, deliberately using fortune-telling as a pretext to leak clues?

This mysterious metaphysical livestream room sparked his intense desire to investigate for the first time.

As time ticked by, it was already six o'clock in the evening when Xu Yun's call came through on time.

In the video, she is standing in front of an exquisitely decorated villa, which is her and Gu Ze's wedding home. From the design to the furniture, every brick and tile was personally selected by her, reflecting all the expectations of their ten-year relationship.

But now, she stood outside the door, her fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white, her heart filled with fear.

After hanging up the phone in the afternoon, she repeatedly recalled Shen Jingshu's words. With her intelligence, she had already guessed the truth—Shen Jingshu had asked her to come to the bridal chamber simply to expose Gu Ze's betrayal.

Ten years of relationship, from campus to wedding dress, she couldn't imagine what her youth would shatter into after she opened the door.

Viewers in the live stream were already impatient, and the chat was flooded with messages urging them to hurry up:

"Don't hesitate, miss! Open the door and you'll know if it's real or fake!"

"We've been waiting for this moment for two hours, hurry up and go in!"

"My gut feeling is that this is going to be even more explosive than the previous two!"

Shen Jingshu's calm voice came through the camera, carrying an undeniable certainty: "Miss Xu, the truth you seek lies behind the door. You have never been an indecisive person; rather than running away, you should face it head-on. This matter was originally supposed to be discovered by you five years later, but today's encounter has brought it forward by five years."

Xu Yun shuddered, closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, only resolute determination remained in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, slowly reached out, and pushed open the door to the bridal chamber that held all her dreams.
