Chapter 59: 58 Wants to kill me? Try again in your next life! (2 updates)
Yun Ran had no idea that her ’capture’ had alarmed quite a few people.
She didn’t even call for help, but these people heard the whispers and arrived just in time, their sources are really well-informed.
The deputy chief personally escorted Yun Ran out the door, expressing earnestly: "Although Yun Ran’s hobby is quite niche, we respect personal hobbies."
That meant Yun Ran could continue her fortune-telling stall without any issues, no one would bother her again.
Yun Ran was quite satisfied with this outcome: "Then I must thank you."
Yun Jinyang followed her because he was worried something might happen to Yun Ran, but to his surprise, the police were not only non-confrontational but even carried a hint of eagerness to please.
He became even more convinced of his speculation that Yun Ran had a Noble backing her.
"You still have one divination left, will you still count it?"
"No need, I’ll go again some other day!"
Back at the Yun Family residence, Yun Jinyang told Yun Ran to get some rest while he went to Yun Shaotang’s study to report what had happened today.
Yun Ran didn’t care at all. She had signed a confidentiality agreement; even if the Yun Family members guessed something, as long as she didn’t admit it, no one could do anything to her.
[System, do you think the woman from today will go to jail?]
Yun Ran shook her head: "No, the victim didn’t press charges and even signed a letter of understanding. If that child’s family wants to win her favor, naturally they won’t go against her wishes."
But Ginsengfruit was very displeased on the inside. It originated from a higher dimension, where infants are precious resources. Stealing is bad enough, but hurting infants is a serious crime.
[But she’s a child trafficker, and yet she goes unpunished; that’s just too unjust.]
"We can’t help it. Although it’s a society ruled by law, it’s also a society that values personal relations. If the other party doesn’t pursue it, the law can’t do anything. However, she won’t get any good out of it either. Now that everyone knows her true colors, she won’t be able to deceive anyone anymore. You could say that she is socially dead, and she won’t have good days ahead."
Yun Ran donated the divination money given by the woman. She disdained to earn money from such people.
Yun Ran had been busy all day and was a bit tired. She directly filled a bathtub with water, planning to take a bath.
Everything was fine until a sudden cramp in her leg caused her to slip into the tub, with water completely covering her head.
The original host’s fatal calamity was drowning in a small puddle. Now, Yun Ran sank into the bathtub and couldn’t get up.
Yun Ran simply didn’t bother getting up, considering she knew the Breath-holding Technique and even once found the legendary Merfolk Pearl; she could soak in the water for days without any problems.
It was only when the water turned completely cold that Yun Ran leisurely surfaced, giving a cold glare through the window.
"Trying to kill me? Maybe in your next life!"
But while she managed to dodge this fatal calamity, she couldn’t escape the poor physique of the original body. Just soaking in some cold water was enough to catch a cold.
In the morning, Yun Ran felt groggy and couldn’t stop sneezing.
The family doctor took Yun Ran’s temperature and saw it was 39 degrees Celsius!
He was also curious as it was the most comfortable time of the year, neither cold nor hot, so how did she suddenly get a cold and fever?
But he didn’t dare to ask; recently, the status of the third young miss had skyrocketed - he’d be foolish to trouble himself.
"Third young miss, you have a fever. I’ll prepare some fever-reducing medicine for you."
Yun Ran nodded and continued to curl up in bed, but in her mind, she was already thinking about how to toughen up this weak body. Being sick really felt terrible.
Her previous body was the kind that thrived on eating anything flavorful; she excelled in doing strenuous labor and never once fell ill.
After taking the medicine, when she was dozing off in a daze, suddenly, bundles of Merit Golden Light rushed into her body one after another.
Ginsengfruit couldn’t help exclaiming: "When did merit become so worthless? There’s so much of it!"
As merit entered her body, Yun Ran immediately felt the previously heavy sensation in her body diminish by a great deal.
She immediately perked up and began to calculate energetically.
"Little Paperman helped catch over a dozen fugitives, and now all those criminals have been convicted, obviously accumulating quite a bit of merit.
Furthermore, there was Song Ye’s calculation yesterday; he turned out to be clever, directly calling the police to set up a sting operation.
Those robbers were caught, and they certainly had committed many crimes before; now their entire criminal gang has been wiped out."
Yun Ran had not expected that initially lending Little Paperman to Song Ye was mainly for the reward money, and now there were extra gains to be had.
If it were before, she would have been over the moon receiving so much merit, her face would have split with glee.
But now, all this merit was being used to fill the pits of Disgust Value that Heavenly Dao had for her, truly annoying!
When Yun Jinyang came home in the evening and learned that Yun Ran was ill, he specifically instructed the servants to stew a number of nourishing remedies for her.
Of course, he didn’t forget to have the servants stew extra and send some to Yun Wan as well as the nephews and nieces from the uncle and aunt next door, in the spirit of fairness and justice.
Yun Wan, who had been silent for several days, suddenly appeared in Yun Ran’s room with a darkened face.
Yun Ran wasn’t surprised at all; this was the Yun Wan she remembered, her nature immutable. If she had stayed docile all this time, that would have been the real shock.
"What are you doing! Now when entering a room, don’t you even know to knock? Is this the upbringing of a young lady like you?"
Yun Wan loved to talk about upbringing, but now Yun Ran had taken the initiative and stole her thunder, causing Yun Wan’s face to turn even redder.
"Why are you taking the family’s money?"
Yun Ran was momentarily stunned; indeed, experience can’t always be trusted. She had anticipated the issues Yun Wan might raise, but she never expected it to be this question.
"What?"
"That billion, why are you taking it!"
Not many people should know about this money; strictly speaking, it was a compromise by Yun Shaotang and Yun Jinyang, the rulers of two generations for her.
This kind of matter, those two would definitely not talk about it; it would damage their prestige.
"Who told you!"
"You don’t need to worry about that, I’m just asking you—on what basis are you taking this money? You are just a stepdaughter and have no relation to the Yun Family. The Yun Family has been raising you, providing you with food and drink, they have already been more than generous!"
Yun Ran chuckled lightly: "I can take it because I have the ability to do so. Why do you care!"
"I won’t allow it, you must spit out that money, otherwise, I won’t let this go!"
"Who’s afraid of whom!"
Just as Yun Wan was about to rush over and teach Yun Ran a lesson, the servants had already invited Yun Jinyang in.
In the past when the young ladies had conflicts, the servants would pretend they hadn’t seen anything, but not anymore; the Third Miss’s status was different now, they needed to be observant.
"Wanwan, what are you doing!"
Yun Wan was about to slap Yun Ran’s face, yet she neither dodged nor fought back, which was exactly caught by Yun Jinyang.
