Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 117 Sooner or Later, a Surprise Turns into a Horror

Was she really special to Gu Chen?

Wu Zhao, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, heard what Zi Yao said inside the house and nearly fell over.

Feeling flustered for the first time, she quickened her pace and left without hearing what Gu Chen said behind her.

Seeing her hurrying by the car, Wu Xingyun couldn't help but ask, "...Is someone chasing you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you chasing after me!" Wu Zhao glared at him.

Completely bewildered, Wu Xingyun watched as she opened the car door and got in before climbing into the car himself: "I was just joking..."

He offered a weak explanation.

"Let's go," Wu Zhao said irritably.

Her heart pounded in her chest. She pressed her hand to her chest and thought to herself, "...That's the Star of Destiny, the Child of Heaven! Don't let your heart race like that!!"

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, they were clear again.

She cleared her throat and asked, "Mo Dahai contacted me and said that the production team has re-invited the guests."

“Oh, right.” Wu Xingyun remembered something and said, “The male actor who died, Luo Jing. The police department announced his death and cause of death, without mentioning Shen Jiaojiao... They only said that he fell to his death from the building, and also that the high-rise building where he jumped was actually smothered.”

"There haven't been any announcements from Xinghai Building, and the changes in senior management have been quiet. It seems they don't want people to pay too much attention to this matter. The security department is very tight-lipped, and we haven't been able to get any other information out of them."

Wu Zhao nodded: "The security department probably didn't get anything out of them either. The Xinghai Building isn't that simple. Someone warned the security department to stop investigating."

Having already guessed this outcome, Wu Xingyun was still somewhat disappointed: "The situation at the highest levels in the capital is not peaceful..."

"Why don't you just ask your brother?" Thinking of the person she had met before, Wu Zhao asked, "You and your brother don't get along?"

Wu Xingyun was a little nervous as the conversation somehow veered towards his older brother: "Uh... my older brother is a bit strict."

He put it mildly: "Anyway, I'm just at the bottom of the social ladder at home... I have an excellent older sister who's the heir above me, and a pampered younger sister below me. I'm stuck in the middle, and I get scolded whenever I see my older brother."

"It's not about why I can't become an excellent sorcerer like my older sister, it's about why he doesn't have a good eye for his younger sister... Ugh, he always finds something to lecture me. He's like a rigid old man! If it weren't for how hard he works every day, dealing with those scheming old men outside, I would definitely have a good argument with him."

"Anyway, I don't dare to meet him alone."

Wu Zhao: "..."

Seeing that he was becoming more and more aggrieved, Wu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Doesn't this little guy realize that he seems to be tattled on to his elders at home?

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll have to ask him properly when I see him." Wu Zhao's voice carried a hint of amusement. "But I can tell you still feel sorry for your older brother."

Wu Xingyun snorted: "I was just respecting my elders!"

"By the way, Grandma, did Mo Dahai say where the next recording will be?" Wu Xingyun asked. "I heard that the last recording on the deserted island caused him stress, so he shouldn't be going to a dangerous place this time, right?"

Wu Zhao crossed his arms and said calmly, "He's probably afraid something bad will happen again. I've checked the place we're going back to, and it won't be dangerous."

"Perhaps some people have realized that they can no longer draw luck from Mo Dahai, so they have become more restrained."

The red light at the intersection was going on for quite a while, and Wu Xingyun glanced out the window as she listened to her talk.

He saw the eye-catching advertisement on the mall's big screen across the street and said, "Is this the top celebrity who's going to be on the show with us?"

"Hmm?" Wu Zhao followed his gaze and saw a heavily made-up man dancing on the big screen.

Unable to understand what he was doing, Wu Zhao turned away with a dark expression after seeing the other person perform the third hip thrust.

"Whose pig got caught on TV because it wasn't properly tied up...?" The oil was already flowing out without even needing to be fried.

Before Wu Xingyun could even comment, the green light came on.

The car quickly left the intersection.

Mo Dahai arranged to meet Wu Zhao at a quiet tea restaurant.

When they arrived, Mo Dahai had already ordered some food and was waiting. When he saw Wu Zhao and Wu Xingyun come in, he quickly stood up.

"Master Wu, Mr. Wu, you've arrived."

Wu Zhao looked at his face and nodded: "It seems that things have improved at Director Mo's family."

Mo Dahai's eyes reddened as he mentioned this. He said, "Yes, it was all thanks to the talisman given by Master Wu. My wife said that the talisman turned black as soon as it was taken to the hospital. Although I don't understand this, it must have been a very dangerous situation."

"After the talisman turned black... my family's condition stabilized immediately, and other things also took a turn for the better. When the Shen family invested and asked the program to start recording again, they originally did not plan to inform you, but after I posted the previously recorded video on Xingbo, netizens had a lot of discussion about the master and Mr. Gu."

Scratching his head, Mo Dahai chuckled, "That's why I think the show wouldn't be good without the master."

"You didn't tell Shen Jiaojiao I was going?" Wu Zhao asked, somewhat surprised. "Then why did she contact Xingyun...?"

Mo Dahai shook his head: "At first, the Shen family strongly opposed inviting you, so I didn't say anything too definitive. The Shen family probably couldn't contact you, so Shen Jiaojiao contacted Mr. Wu, right?"

Wu Xingyun frowned, glanced at the message on his phone, and handed it to Wu Zhao.

—Mr. Wu, Director Mo's program needs to be re-recorded. My parents can't get in touch with my sister. If you have time, please continue to participate in the program.

—I regret that some unexpected things happened on the last program. This time, my family has invested in the program, ensuring that there will be no more unstable factors on the show, and that the situation will not repeat itself. Mr. Gu and Mr. Wu are both distinguished guests of the Shen family, so please don't hold the previous unpleasantness against them.

"Hmph." Wu Zhao sneered. "Isn't what she means by saying that I'm the destabilizing factor?"

It seems they want to find out about her from Wu Xingyun?

Wu Zhao frowned. "Shen Jiaojiao and Yue Jinsheng...have lost contact?"

Unable to quite figure out the relationship between the two, Wu Zhao returned the phone to Wu Xingyun.

She twirled the ring on her finger, "Shen Qingqing."

A dark shadow reappeared from the ring on her hand, revealing its form.

"Hiss—" Mo Dahai hissed and gritted his teeth.

Shen Qingqing floated to Wu Zhao's side and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

“I’ve left Phoenix with Gu Chen. Go to the Shen family in Haicheng. Help me confirm something—” Wu Zhao said, whispering a few words into the ear of the approaching Yin Ling.

"Yes, Master." After hearing what she said, Shen Qingqing quickly passed through the wall and left.

Wu Zhao tapped the table and looked at Mo Dahai: "Director Mo, please keep my participation in the program a secret."

"I want to...give her a surprise."

Wu Xingyun sat to the side, feeling the cold air emanating from her.

He swallowed hard and silently shrank his neck.

He figured this was probably not a surprise...

Scary enough.

Wu Xingyun silently wished Shen Jiaojiao well, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Wu Zhao pressed the gem on his ring, his eyes dimming slightly.

Shen Jiaojiao, I hope it's not what I think.

Otherwise, I might brave the heavenly punishment to deal with you...

The body was broken into pieces!
