Chapter 368 - 370: Pregnancy
When the middle-aged man heard this, the hand holding his phone began to tremble. His face was a mask of panic, and even his voice shook. "Are you telling the truth?"
"I am."
The middle-aged man looked at his phone, specifically zooming in on his manager’s photo. No matter how he looked at it, the man didn’t seem like a murderer. In fact, he looked rather kind.
He looked up at Su Nian, his expression bewildered. ’This is absurd,’ he thought.
But deep down, a powerful intuition was telling him that this might actually be real.
He remembered that Su Nian had been right about everything before, yet he couldn’t shake his unease about this. He took another deep breath.
His tone was dry and tinged with awkwardness as he asked, "This... can you prove he’s a murderer?"
The moment he said this, the online viewers started flaming him.
[Seriously, I can’t with this guy. Believe it or don’t!]
[The streamer has been explaining for ages, and he’s still hesitating!]
[Forget it, just forget it. Let people like him get scammed!]
[Sigh, don’t be so harsh. He’s probably never seen the streamer’s broadcasts before, so of course he doesn’t get it.]
In truth, after he said that, he felt a bit ashamed and awkward.
But the thick skin of an adult supported him. He took a deep breath and regained his self-righteous demeanor.
"You don’t have any proof."
He said this while giving Su Nian a sidelong glance.
In reality, he knew he was in the wrong and looked at Su Nian with a flicker of guilt.
He desperately hoped Su Nian could give him some proof.
Su Nian thought about what was going to happen to him next and let out a faint sigh.
She didn’t bother arguing with him and said directly, "You can call the police right now. Tell them you suspect he’s a fugitive, send them his photo, and they’ll figure it out."
The middle-aged man was speechless. ’That... actually makes sense!’
He froze, thrown into a state of existential doubt. It took him a long while to snap out of it.
"Okay, I’ll try that right now."
He lowered his head and fumbled with his phone. After dialing the police, he successfully sent the photo via text message.
[Is this going to be a total bust?]
[What if the guy had plastic surgery?]
[No way! The streamer is a master among masters at face reading. If he had surgery, she’d definitely be able to tell!]
[That’s not a given. What if it was done really naturally? Besides, everyone’s facial features change over time.]
[I’m worried the streamer recognized him, but what if the police can’t?]
But just a few minutes after he sent the photo...
A shrill ringtone suddenly went off.
"Hello, this is the police department. Regarding the Chen Delu in the photo you sent, what is your relationship with him?"
The call from the police department came quickly, and they began questioning him about his relationship with the man in the photo.
The middle-aged man’s face went pale. ’So, he really is a fugitive, most likely.’
Hearing this, he quickly glanced at Su Nian before starting to explain into the phone.
After saying a few more words, he hurriedly thanked Su Nian.
"I have to go to the police station now!"
Covering the mouthpiece of his phone, looking utterly panicked and overwrought, he rushed away.
It looked like he was heading to the station to provide a lead on the murderer.
Since the follow-up wouldn’t be broadcast live, the audience had no way of knowing what happened next.
They were still mocking the middle-aged man’s hypocrisy.
[He changed his tune so fast! A second ago the guy was swearing he didn’t believe her!]
[I know, right? He ate his words so fast he didn’t know what hit him!]
[Well, at least the streamer saved his life!]
Su Nian was completely unperturbed by the client’s distrust.
After all, her youthful appearance often led people to underestimate her.
Still, Su Nian took the opportunity to issue a warning to her livestream viewers about trafficking and fraud.
"Scam tactics are getting more and more sophisticated these days. You must think twice before doing anything, especially when it involves money. You have to be careful, then be careful again!"
[The streamer is right. These scammers are so brazen nowadays, you’ll fall for it if you’re not careful!]
[Tell me about it! You can’t even scan random QR codes anymore!]
[And you have to be wary of those random links, too. They could be loaded with viruses. One click and all your money is gone!]
In the comments, many viewers were sharing their own anti-scam tips, while others brought up examples of people they knew who had been defrauded.
Just as the discussion was heating up...
...a woman with a large, protruding belly pushed the door open and walked in.
She peered around cautiously, one hand supporting her back and the other resting on her stomach, her head unconsciously tilting toward Su Nian.
Only after carefully seating herself did she let out a sigh of relief.
She also knew the procedure. Before Su Nian could even say anything, she took out her phone and scanned the QR code to pay the divination fee.
At that moment, her abdomen was squirming slightly. The woman’s face was full of happiness as she gently caressed her belly, but Su Nian’s expression was grave.
What was inside her belly was not a child!
