Chapter 119: 119 She is strong, but she also never underestimates

119 She is strong, but she also never underestimates.

Nan Cheng Office exit, a narrow alley.

Two sedans drove out from inside.

A black cat perched on the wall was sleeping.

Hearing the movement, it opened its eyes and glanced.

Seeing the two 'wall-passing' cars, it merely gave a cool, aloof glance.

Then, unfazed, it closed its eyes again, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Chen Rang sat in the passenger seat and glanced out the window.

They say the fifteenth moon is full on the sixteenth, but now it's overcast—round or not, missing or not, you can't see anything at all.

Lin Xuer blew bubbles from her mouth one after another; the bubbles popped with a puff-puff-puff sound, then she kept chewing.

She had been lowering her head to play a game; hearing Chen Rang's words, she looked at him through the rearview mirror: 'Did you buy all the salt Xiao Jiu asked for?'

'I bought it, Sister Xuer; I put it in the trunk.' Chen Rang replied.

Lin Xuer nodded: 'That'll do.'

She put away her phone, the corners of her mouth turning up: 'The debt collectors are impressive; they even know the weakness of such an obscure thing.'

'No way! I'm genuinely impressed now.' Chen Rang turned back, gripping the passenger seat's backrest to look at Lin Xuer behind him: 'Sister Xuer, do you think Tushan Jiu knows everyone's weakness?'

Hearing that, Lin Xuer laughed: 'What are you thinking? Debt collectors aren't just anyone who can calculate; divination means probing heavenly secrets. If they looked at everyone's life story upon meeting them, they'd have already gone to report it.'

Chen Rang nodded in agreement: 'Exactly; otherwise, how would the Tushan family have only her left?'

Lin Xuer froze: '......'

What's going on?

She began to doubt what she had just said.

Xu Lao, who was driving, heard their conversation and couldn't help but smile.

Originally tonight's situation was rather grim, but being teased and chatting with this bunch of kids improved the atmosphere quite a bit.

The two cars set off, one ahead of the other.

Although the alley was fairly narrow, it could still accommodate a sedan passing through.

Today's operation wasn't just Lin Xuer's team; Qian Hu's team also joined in coordination.

They had no fixed position; they were simply going to look for Tushan Jiu.

Today she is the 'bait,' and they are the anglers.

As for that fish, they still don't know where it is right now.

But they all believe in the debt collectors' ability.

Don't think that Tushan Jiu failed to calculate this time; they all know that precisely because she couldn't calculate it, they have a more accurate fix.

That fix is Tushan Jiu herself.

If that black omen is involved with her, they just need to wait quietly around her.

That's the debt collectors' prowess: if they calculate it, death is certain; if they can't, they just prepare to wait for the 'catch the turtle in the jar'.

Tushan Jiu glanced at the real-time location on her phone; a small dot was speeding toward her.

She chose the same park where the incident happened yesterday.

In fact, she didn't do it on purpose.

When they set out, she had Xie Shiyu just drive in a random direction.

As it turned out, Xie Shiyu hadn't turned on the navigation either; leaving the old residence, he simply picked a road at random.

And unexpectedly, after driving like that, they ended up here.

That's right.

Originally, Xie Shiyu was supposed to wait for her at home, but she dragged him out to be the driver.

The reason was that, as she was about to go out today, she discovered the on-duty driver had a slight cold.

It wasn't that she feared contagion; rather, a sick person's immunity drops, and their yang energy becomes much weaker than usual.

Tonight's black omen holds many uncertainties, so she can't let him take the risk.

Originally she had planned to take a taxi there.

But when Xie Shiyu heard about it, he volunteered himself.

Tushan Jiu thought it over and realized indeed no one was more suitable to follow her than him.

Because she doesn't know when that thing will appear; what if it shows up while she's in a taxi?

Then wouldn't that drag ordinary people into it?

But Xie Shiyu is different; she doesn't have to worry about that.

His aura of fortune causes any evil spirit to steer clear.

After thinking it over, Tushan Jiu just dragged him along.

Before getting out of the car, she put on a Bluetooth earpiece, called Lin Xuer, and kept the line open.

Tushan Jiu said, letting them know that once they arrived, they should just keep their distance and follow.

Although that thing lacks consciousness, it's still a living creature; startling it would be bad.

Having said that, she got out of the car.

In the blink of an eye, a golden light flashed across the depths of her eyes.

When her heavenly eye opened, the world in Tushan Jiu's sight began to change.

In the darkness, various creatures each bore their own hue, even if faint, but still present.

As she turned her head to look at Xie Shiyu in the car.

Wow, it almost blinded her eyes; she hurriedly looked away.

She thought, she herself was quite lucky for her husband; Xie Shiyu's fortune was flowing faster than before.

It's estimated that in the near future two national-level major projects will be approved.

She guessed it might be the complicated matter he and Ji Shujun had discussed last time, which she found tedious.

She reminded Xie Shiyu not to get out of the car; tonight he was the driver and had to strictly follow the rules she had set for drivers.

Although she knew nothing would happen to him, she still nagged on.

Xie Shiyu naturally wouldn't let her be distracted; he replied okay, letting her relax.

Tushan Jiu nodded, then walked leisurely into the park.

She wore a white knitted loose-fit outfit today; under the streetlights, the shadow behind her flickered between light and dark.

Perhaps because a criminal case occurred yesterday, there used to be people walking dogs or strolling around at this time in the evening, but now there's nobody.

The park was empty; the autumn wind made the leaves rustle loudly, which was quite eerie.

Tushan Jiu walked aimlessly.

Lin Xiu'er's voice came through the earpiece soon: 'We're in position, each at one of your eight directions, ready to follow your command; give the signal and we'll act, over, over.'

Tushan Jiu curled the corner of her mouth and couldn't help letting out a light laugh: 'Received, Senior Xiu'er, you're really cheeky.'

'Pipi is even happier!'

Tushan Jiu expressed agreement: 'The mission itself is already exhausting; can't we find some fun for ourselves?'

Then, a second later, Qian Hu's nagging voice came from the other side of the earpiece: 'Don't distract Fellow Daoist Tushan, Fellow Daoist Tushan, you need to focus; I've looked up information this afternoon, this black calamity......'

Tushan Jiu patiently listened to Qian Hu's concern and also said: 'You all should be careful of variables as well.'

Everyone responded with an okay.

In this world, nothing is absolute; there always exists that variable.

Isn't there a saying that plans can't keep up with rapid changes?

After she finished speaking, her fingers began to move continuously, without intending to stop for a moment.

She is strong, but she never underestimates her opponent.
