Chapter 27: What is Divine Calculation
Editor: Henyee Translations
His eyes narrowed briefly, “Kid, I’ve got something to do, so I might not be able to have dinner with you now. How about we reschedule it to tonight?”
Hearing this, Ying Zijin recalled something.
It had been precisely seven days since the first time she met them.
Nie Chao was going to be in trouble.
Clearly, he hadn’t taken her words seriously.
However, that was normal.
She remembered that just before she left, in the year 1780, all the witch sorcerers in O-continent had been hunted down and executed as heretics.
After so many years, there were very few people with true divination abilities left, and Hua Country was no exception.
Nobody would believe in these things.
“It won’t take long.” Fu Yunshen didn’t hear a response and turned around, his peachy eyes curving, “I’ll order some takeout for you and your uncle, and you can go back to sleep, how’s that?”
The danger was not clear yet, and he obviously couldn’t bring a little girl with him.
Ying Zijin also understood what he meant; he hadn’t planned to let her accompany him.
She frowned slightly, “Be careful of high places.”
At her words, the curve of Fu Yunshen’s lips grew wider. He lifted his hand to ruffle the girl’s hair, his smile gentle, “Alright, I’ll listen to our little friend here.”
He opened the car door and left her at the entrance of the apartment.
Once the car started up again and moved away, Fu Yunshen’s smile slowly faded.
He drove with one hand while lighting up his phone screen with the other.
The message was still flashing crazily on the screen, very short.
Sharpshooter No.94.
Aside from the number being different, it was named the same as the first file he had seen that day.
Fu Yunshen’s eyes narrowed briefly.
He hadn’t expected that Nie Chao could also become a target for someone on the assassination rankings.
Fu Yunshen deleted the message and made a phone call: “Check recent movements of the Nie family.”

On Huangpu Road, the Number One Pub.
Today, they were hosting a grand opening celebration, and by noon, quite a few people had gathered.
Nie Chao had taken up the best spot next to the bar, ready to have a good drink.
It wasn’t long before the area was filled with people and the stage was set up.
Nie Chao was listening to music with headphones when, after only the intro, the music suddenly stopped playing.
“Huh?” he wondered, “Can’t be broken already, right?”
He had only bought it not too long ago.
However, before he had time to take them off to check, a voice, unrecognizable as male or female, came through the earphones.
“You’re at Huangpu Road Number One Pub.”
Nie Chao was startled, “How do you know?”
Fuck, who was this person? Not only hacking into his phone but also knowing his whereabouts? It couldn’t be his old man sending someone to catch him, could it?
The person on the other end didn’t reply, simply stating, “Someone is trying to kill you.”
“Stop joking,” Nie Chao said in disbelief, “Who dares to kill in Hua Country? Who are you, really?”
“In ten seconds.” Ying Zijin watched a flashing red dot on her computer screen and narrowed her phoenix eyes, “You can try it out.”
Nie Chao laughed it off, not wanting to bother and was about to turn his phone off directly.
But just then, all the lights in the pub suddenly went out.
In the pitch darkness, someone screamed.
Nie Chao was also stunned, before he could react, two words came through the earphones.
“Get down.”
“Bang!”
Nie Chao threw himself to the ground; he could feel the rush of hot air above him as the bullet grazed past the top of his head by a mere whisker.
Fuck?
Someone was actually trying to kill him!
The pub instantly plunged into chaos, with screams erupting everywhere.
Nie Chao’s legs felt weak; he believed it now.
He swallowed hard, “What should I do now?”
