Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: The Ancestor Advises You to Think Thrice

Until the car drove off, Wen Zishu was still in a daze, his left ear buzzing. His complexion remained somewhat pale, and remembering the explosion from just a moment ago, he couldn’t help but stammer, “Third Brother, how could that car suddenly explode…”

“Hey——”

Just as Wen Zishu finished speaking, he heard Fu Shiyan’s voice.

He looked up and glanced at the rearview mirror, only then noticing that Fu Shiyan had taken out his cell phone at some point and was making a call.

Fu Shiyan said calmly and self-assuredly, “Jianchuan, check the car explosion that just occurred on Hernes Avenue.”

Upon hearing this name, Wen Zishu immediately fell silent.

...

He knew the person on the other end of the phone was a friend of Fu Shiyan’s named Duan Jianchuan, a member of the police’s special department, and all three of them, including himself, had been friends since childhood.

Duan Jianchuan was usually cold and reticent, seemingly challenging everyone, but he listened to Fu Shiyan the most.

Hearing this, Duan Jianchuan on the other end surely agreed.

On this end, Fu Shiyan then said, “Mm, thank you.”

Soon enough, Fu Shiyan hung up the phone.

Wen Zishu anxiously asked, “Third Brother, do you also feel there was something unusual about that explosion?”

Fu Shiyan closed his eyes and said, “What do you think about what the little girl said earlier?”

“Little girl?” Wen Zishu was taken aback for a second before realizing who Fu Shiyan was talking about. “You’re talking about that bratty girl, Third Brother?! Isn’t she just a scammer? Full of feudal superstition, saying that someone’s fate would not…”

Halfway through speaking, Wen Zishu’s voice came to a sudden halt.

Without opening his eyes, Fu Shiyan asked, “You sensed something off too?”

Wen Zishu nervously moved his lips but made no sound, a panic setting in his heart.

That’s right…

He had forgotten that little brat had told Fu Shiyan to stay away from fire sources.

Moments ago, he hadn’t seen any fire at the rear of the car, but Fu Shiyan had…

If it weren’t for Fu Shiyan calling a halt, they surely would have been done for.

With this thought, Wen Zishu gave a dry chuckle, “It’s, it’s just a coincidence… I didn’t see that car catching fire earlier… Brother, Third Brother, we can’t really believe in these things, right?”

Fu Shiyan did not respond, instead he asked, “Did you have a date with a lady today?”

“Yes, yes…,” Wen Zishu awkwardly smiled. He was a playboy through and through, changing female companions daily, and felt uncomfortable without one.

Indeed, he had made a date for that day to meet a woman at a banquet.

At this thought, Wen Zishu suddenly widened his eyes, “Third Brother, you aren’t still thinking about that little girl’s prediction about my romantic troubles, are you…”

“I’ve called Jianchuan to pick me up. Just drop me off at the curbside,” Fu Shiyan said, still not joining in the conversation.

Feeling even more uneasy, Wen Zishu scoped out an opportunity to park and pulled over to the side of the road.

Fu Shiyan got out of the car directly.

Before he left, he told Wen Zishu, “If possible, you’d better listen to what that little girl said.”

Wen Zishu’s mouth twitched, “No way, Third Brother, you believe that stuff…?”

He had thought that Fu Shiyan, with his IQ of 260, never believed in such things.

But Fu Shiyan did not explain and simply went to wait for Duan Jianchuan’s car by the roadside.

Wen Zishu harbored doubts, but he felt the incident just now was very likely a coincidence.

After waiting at the spot for a while, a low-key black car soon pulled up in front of Fu Shiyan.

Wen Zishu knew it was Duan Jianchuan.

Seeing Fu Shiyan get into Duan Jianchuan’s car, Wen Zishu pursed his lips and stepped on the accelerator, heading towards the place he had arranged to meet his female companion. He refused to believe in such unfounded premonitions.

Absolutely not!
