Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Has She Been Cursed?!

Upon hearing the first part of Jiang Li’s words, Zhang Cheng dismissed them with disdain and a sneer.

After all, that information could be found online.

But he was stunned by the latter half.

How did she know his wife had multiple miscarriages and his son was conceived through IVF?!

Only their parents knew about the matter; not even their relatives and friends were aware, let alone outsiders.

This young Daoist, despite her youth, had figured out all these things—she truly must be an expert!

Zhang Cheng had dealt with many from the Xuan Sect, but this was the first time he encountered someone so young and yet so profound in their ways.

At this point, his attitude shifted a full one hundred and eighty degrees.

“Alright, Master, no more,” he conceded, “I believe you. If you can calculate even these matters, you definitely wouldn’t call just to mock me. I was blind to your greatness and offended you. Please forgive me.”

Jiang Li chuckled, “Ignorance is not a sin; there’s no harm done, and I am not one to hold grudges over such trifles.”

Her nonchalant voice made Zhang Cheng view her as even more of a mysterious and powerful figure, so he quickly seized the opportunity to ask,

“Then, what did you mean when you said my daughter-in-law’s illness is more than just that?”

Jiang Li cleared her throat, “Allow me to continue.”

“The child you both struggled so much to have is naturally coddled as he grows. However, your son’s destiny includes an ‘injuring official’ with a weakened Fire Element within the Five Elements, causing him to be frail and sickly. You’ve spent much effort on him, even seeking the help of the Xuan Sect to perform rituals for his safety and growth.”

“That’s right, that’s right,” Zhang Cheng nodded vigorously while holding the phone, “You’re truly impressive, Daoist, not a single detail missed.”

He had even spent a fortune to acquire a Fire Element Magic Artifact for his son to wear all year round, which had improved his son’s health. Since then, he had come to appreciate the power of these individuals and often interacted with them.

“Later on, your son met his current wife with your help. They married soon after falling in love. What unsettles you and your family is that your daughter-in-law had a mysterious miscarriage before. Barely pregnant again, she has continually felt ill—both mother and baby are frail.”

At the mention of this, Zhang Cheng sighed deeply several times.

Indeed, after his daughter-in-law became pregnant again, the whole family was on high alert. His wife even quit her job to take care of her at home. They hired three experienced nannies, all to prevent a repeat of the tragedy.

Yet, despite all this, she remained unwell during the pregnancy. By the third month, when other mothers’ conditions would have stabilized, hers worsened, with daily severe vomiting and frequent fevers, leaving her utterly haggard.

They had attempted to terminate the pregnancy, but his daughter-in-law adamantly refused after learning she might be unable to conceive again.

Left with no choice, he arranged for her to stay in the Capital’s best maternity hospital under doctors’ care.

But by the fourth month, she developed new complications—swelling, and unstable vital signs. The hospital had taken a series of measures to no avail. Last week her condition had drastically deteriorated, landing her in intensive care.

The doctors issued a final notice; if there were no improvement this week, they would remove the fetus and pursue other treatments.

He spent the last few days visiting various renowned doctors, while also trying to manage his new film project. His already sparse hairline receded even further.

Upon this thought, Zhang Cheng suddenly asked Jiang Li excitedly, “Could it be that you know some renowned doctors or have a solution?”

Jiang Li spoke slowly, “I would need your daughter-in-law’s birthdate to know for certain.”

Zhang Cheng hesitated but ended up getting the birthdate from his wife and gave it to Jiang Li.

Upon seeing the other party’s Four Pillars of Destiny in an instant, Jiang Li confirmed her own speculation.

“Your daughter-in-law’s Children Palace is normal, she shouldn’t be experiencing this kind of situation, so there’s only one possibility… she’s been cursed.”

Zhang Cheng: “!!!”

He had heard of such things as curses and had even seen them.

The entertainment industry is a mixture of dragons and fishes, and some people would do anything to become famous.

But he had never imagined that one day he himself would encounter such a malicious thing.

It made sense, though, since he had been nominated for last year’s Film Festival’s Best Director Award, there were bound to be people who were jealous.

But why target his family if they had a problem with him?

“Master,” Zhang Cheng’s attitude had become very respectful at this moment, “is there any way to resolve this?”

Jiang Li pondered for a while, “I am not currently in the Capital, and without seeing the person, I can’t calculate the specific curse technique. However, to cast a curse, one must have something to rely on. The simplest method is to burn all the gifts your family has received in the past five months and everything your daughter-in-law has come into contact with.”

“I will draw a peace charm for you and have it rushed to your home. All you need to do is tie the talisman paper to the front of your daughter-in-law’s chest.”

Zhang Cheng acted swiftly, setting his assistant to work while Jiang Li was still speaking on the phone.

Du Qinglian only saw Zhang Cheng’s serious expression as he entered and exited and didn’t dare to go up and ask what had happened, instead, she just sat in the chair and waited.

Soon, his son, who was in the hospital, called to say that his wife had suddenly improved and had regained consciousness. Though she still needed to continue staying in the ICU for observation, it was overall good news.

Zhang Cheng was thrilled, his nerves, which had been taut for a week, finally relaxed.

He hurriedly walked out to the terrace again to share the good news with Jiang Li.

“Uh-huh, I just heard,” Jiang Li said in a calm voice, “It seems that the person who cast the curse targeted your daughter-in-law specifically.”

“Master, if Yu Li fully recovers, I will definitely come in person to thank you!”

Jiang Li smiled slightly but didn’t respond, instead speaking somewhat mysteriously, “Mr. Zhang, we’ll meet, but—”

Her tone shifted as she continued, “I just calculated your recent fortune as well, Mr. Zhang, and it appears you’re in danger of being deceived and framed by someone malicious. Have you been planning a new film lately?”

Jiang Li finally took the opportunity to reveal her true intent.

She first used the matter closest to his heart to gain his complete trust, then threw out her own bait to hook him.

The ancient art of war is indeed useful.

Zhang Cheng now fully trusted Jiang Li without any doubts.

Hearing that he was in danger of being deceived and framed, he was greatly alarmed and asked for specifics.

Jiang Li said, “This tribulation is related to the new film you are shooting. Could you inform me of the birthdates of a few of the lead actors?”

Zhang Cheng had backups of this information and sent them straight over.

Upon seeing He Yun’s name, Jiang Li’s lips curled up.

“Yes, the problem lies with He Yun.”
