37: Chapter 37 Diviner Zhezhi; Phoenix Sleep Fragrance
37 -37 Diviner Zhezhi; Phoenix Sleep Fragrance
“That shameless cur, actually having the audacity to acknowledge someone as his grandfather without any decency…” Lolita Voice started rambling on in talkative mode, continuing to gripe about 007.
Gu Xiyue was initially intending to ask about Angel, but upon hearing Lolita Voice’s words, she subconsciously murmured softly, “Diviner?”
“Yes, she’s like your colleague, and since she helped 007 escape death, it shows she’s really skilled.
Boss, are you interested in meeting her?” Hearing Gu Xiyue’s mumble, Lolita Voice stopped griping and started talking about the Diviner instead.
“Not interested, keep talking about Angel.”
“Oh, they sent a sniper, who’s been killed already.
Other than the Angel symbol on his arm, nothing else has been found.”
“Mhm.” Gu Xiyue responded indifferently, listening to the nonsense on the other end, knowing it was time to hang up, “Nothing else, hanging up.”
Don’t hang up yet, Boss.
Seeing that 007 almost got killed, why don’t you do a fortune-telling for me?
In case Angel’s people are also after my life, at least I can be prepared.” Lolita Voice quickly rambled on as soon as she heard Gu Xiyue was about to hang up.
Why?” Lolita Voice asked, somewhat dazed.
“I did another reading last night and suffered backlash,” Gu Xiyue’s voice was cold and clear, tinged with a hint of desolation.
You did another reading on her?
Are you out of your mind?!” Lolita Voice’s voice suddenly turned masculine, filled with a mix of exasperation and frustration, “I’ve told you, I’ll do the investigating, so why couldn’t you just wait?”
He had thought that’s why 007 nearly died; the Boss didn’t foresee it because she suffered backlash, completely unable to do the reading.
“Wait for you to investigate?
Another year or two?” Gu Xiyue said with undisguised disdain and sarcasm in her tone.
On the other side, “…”
“Hanging up.” Gu Xiyue finished speaking and without waiting for a response, she hung up the phone.
She tossed her phone aside and stood up to return to her room.
After hanging up, the phone lying on the sofa had its screen still lit.
And on the screen was the recording playback interface.
The recording, paused due to the incoming call, resumed its silent play after the call ended.
Less than a minute into the recording playback, another incoming call appeared on the screen.
The same international call, the same number, labeled Fall.
The ringing lasted for 25 seconds before the call was answered.
“What do you want?” An impatient voice came from the room.
“That Diviner is here for MR-7,” said Lolita Voice in a deep, clear masculine tone, now filled with a hint of seriousness.
The room fell into a prolonged silence, and only after about half a minute, did Gu Xiyue coldly ask, “Go on.”
“She has initiated a trade offer, the item offered is an MR-7 fragment, and she’s asking for Phoenix Sleep Fragrance in exchange,” said Fall with a grave and somber tone, showing unprecedented seriousness.
“I’m not sure if what she has is the same as the Phoenix Sleep that appeared two years ago.
It’s up to you whether to take it or not.”
As soon as Fall finished speaking, Gu Xiyue fell into a long silence again.
“Given the special identity of the other party, if she could predict 007’s case, she might predict mine as well.
I’m willing to help you investigate, but I also fear provoking her.
You know how perceptive a powerful Diviner can be,” Fall said, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.
“What’s the name?” Gu Xiyue suddenly asked.
“What?” Fall was confused.
“What’s the fortune-teller’s name?” Gu Xiyue asked in a light tone.
“Nickname’s Zhezhi, as in ‘break’ and ‘branch’.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyue’s eyes darkened as she murmured softly, “Zhezhi?”
