1635 Scaremongering
Although Yuan Yuan had long been prepared for the fact that the rest would reveal information about her, her face still stiffened when the other party suddenly brought up her ability to predict things. Before last night, Yuan Yuan had been very proud and unafraid of her ‘ability’ being revealed. After last night, however, there was only uneasiness in her heart.
Yuan Yuan subconsciously couldn’t help but take her anger out on Yang Ji. She inadvertently stared at him again. Why wasn’t Yang Ji dead yet? Why didn’t he die?
The more she stared at him, the more obsessed she became. Her face subconsciously twisted and turned malevolent, but the expresson disappeared in a flash before she quickly regained her composure. After a while, Yuan Yuan seemed to find her voice, and she replied to Feng Yuanlin, “Last night, I… I did predict something!” At that point, Yuan Yuan looked at Yang Ji again, feigned a heavy expression, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out, “I foresaw that Yang Ji would definitely die!”
As soon as she finished speaking, it was like hot oil being added to a pot, causing it to explode. The faces of everyone in the private room changed drastically when they heard this. Yang Ji’s own face was deathly pale.
Everyone had incomparably terrified expressions, especially those who were afraid of death. Their faces turned as white as a sheet.
Chi Shuyan was the only one who was expressionless and calm. Feng Yuanlin’s face changed as well, but when he saw Shuyan’s calm face and how she seemed to be scrutinizing the Yuan woman, his eyes flashed and his complexion recovered a little.
Yuan Yuan was obviously quite satisfied with the stir that her words caused. She continued to add fuel to the fire and was especially excited. “I’m serious. You can’t save him, no one can!”
The most cowardly of the group, Chai Qing, couldn’t help but say, “Sister Yuan, did you really foresee something happening to Yang Ji last night? What should we do?”
Chai Qing wasn’t worried about Yang Ji, but about the fact that his death couldn’t be changed. Even if she had gloated before, if Yang Ji really died, who would be next? What if it was her turn?
The more Chai Qing thought about it, the paler and uglier her face became. Her lips turned bloodless and she trembled.
Compared with Chai Qing, who was selfish and only cared about herself, the others were worried about Yang Ji, afraid that something would happen to him. Of course, they were also afraid that they would be caught up in it.
After all, as long as Yang Ji didn’t die, they wouldn’t be next. They could still eat and drink as if nothing happened.
But once Yang Ji died, who knew who would be next?
It was only a 20 to 30% chance that the next person would be any one of them, but everyone was still flustered and terrified. They didn’t want to die at all, let alone die in an incomparably tragic manner like Liling and the others, and have their faces peeled off.
Wang Jinyang and the others looked at each other and couldn’t help but shiver. Their hands, which were hidden in their sleeves, trembled faintly.
Yuan Yuan glanced at everyone’s terrified expressions and continued, “Not only that, I also saw Yang Ji die especially tragically. It was even worse than the way Liling, Lin Dong and Guobin died.”
Who knew if her words were a complete blow to Yang Ji, but at that moment, he shook all over. His face turned green and he staggered back a few steps. It was Chi Shuyan who quickly pressed down on his shoulder.
Yang Ji still couldn’t help but tremble. Chi Shuyan comforted him in a low voice. “Calm down, don’t worry!”
Who knew if it was because of Chi Shuyan’s comforting words, but while Yang Ji still shook, his complexion finally improved a little. Not long after, however, he recalled the strange and terrifying experience from the night before. Yang Ji’s whole body trembled even more, and his legs turned to jelly.
Chi Shuyan propped him up with one hand and looked at Yuan Yuan as she asked calmly, “Oh? Then, Miss Yuan, how will Yang Ji die, according to your prediction? Can you tell me?”
Seeing her ask this question, Yuan Yuan looked a bit surprised, then frowned again, looking unhappy. The others also looked at Yuan Yuan curiously and fearfully as they waited for her answer.
In fact, Yuan Yuan hadn’t thought much of the woman in front of her just now. In addition, Chai Qing had said in her ear from time to time that the other party was interested in Xia Mingcheng. The more Chai Qing said, the more Yuan Yuan listened. She instinctively felt a little disgusted and repulsed by the other party. Besides, even if this woman really had some skills, why did she have to help Yang Ji?
Yuan Yuan was secretly resentful, but on the surface, she looked very hesitant. After a moment of silence, she said, “I can’t say!”
She naturally hadn’t foreseen Yang Ji’s death, so how could she say how he would die? She might as well not say anything. Instead, it would make her words seem more credible, and wouldn’t easily arouse suspicion.
Sure enough!
As soon as Yuan Yuan finished speaking, everyone’s hearts turned cold. Yang Ji’s heart sank and he didn’t know what expression to show. His face was dull and his eyes were faintly red, as if he had lost his soul. It was as if he had suffered a huge blow, and he looked listless.
“Miss Yuan, you can’t say anything?” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and sounded dissatisfied. The others immediately looked at Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan was very glad that she had only ever predicted when something would happen to the others.
She had never revealed any other details.
That was why no one doubted her after she said that.
But when the woman next to Yang Ji scrutinized her, Yuan Yuan inexplicably felt a little scared and uneasy. As soon as this feeling flashed through her, she immediately tossed it aside. She replied to the other party’s question with a regretful and pained expression. “Sorry, I really can’t say a word.” After a pause, she continued, “And I suspect that the more I reveal, the sooner Yang Ji will die!”
“Since you can’t reveal anything, Miss Yuan, did you ask Yang Ji to come today just to hear you say this?” Chi Shuyan asked with a cold smile.
Yuan Yuan choked and her expression was a bit unsightly. She quickly said to Yang Ji and the others, “It’s really not that I don’t want to help, but I can’t. Besides, he’s the person Liling cares about the most. If I really could help, would I just stand by and watch something happen to Yang Ji?”
