"Oh, right, I brought some herbal tea. Since you're not feeling well, have some."
She took the herbal tea out of her bag and placed it in front of Xiao Tuantuan.
Without a second thought, Xiao Tuantuan picked it up and began drinking.
[Chu Yi: Hey, does anyone else think there's something off about A Jing's eyes today?]
[Wants to Eat Tuantuan's Apple Flavor: I don't know why, but A Jing looks like she's up to no good.]
[Number One Hater: Haha, as someone who's been Tuantuan's fan for ten years, I know A Jing and Tuantuan have been through life and death together. She would never hurt Tuantuan!]
[Clearheaded: The account above is level one and obviously just registered. You're a ten-year fan? Seriously?]
Just as the viewers were chatting away enthusiastically...
Xiao Tuantuan held her forehead. Less than five minutes after drinking the herbal tea, she inexplicably felt dizzy, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her.
"A Jing, I suddenly feel so sleepy."
The moment she finished speaking...
Xiao Tuantuan slumped backward. She tried to stay alert, but it was no use.
"Tuantuan? Tuantuan?"
A Jing remained composed. She kept shaking Xiao Tuantuan's head until she confirmed that Xiao Tuantuan was unresponsive, then immediately revealed a triumphant smile.
"Don't blame me, Xiao Tuantuan. I really have nowhere else to turn."
She took out her phone and made a call. "It's done. Hurry up and come upstairs."
[Chu Yi: A Jing! You really are a terrible person!]
[Wants to Eat Tuantuan's Apple Flavor: I've already called the police. Uncle Cop said they'd reach Xiao Tuantuan's home within ten minutes!]
[Ragdoll Cat: That's what you get for not believing Master Lin. He told you A Jing had bad intentions, but you just wouldn't believe him.]
[Chu Conqueror: Master Lin is awesome!]
[Top Diehard Fan: I'm sorry. I admit I was hating just for the sake of it earlier. From today onward, Master Lin is the only person I admire!]
The viewers in the livestream had all watched the daytime broadcast.
They noticed that the events Master Lin had described were unfolding one by one.
The only thing that hadn't happened was Xiao Tuantuan calling the police.
A short while later...
A young man entered the room. The instant he appeared, someone in the livestream recognized him.
[Wants to Eat Tuantuan's Apple Flavor: That's A Jing's boyfriend. What is he planning to do?]
[Fake Besties: Look at that lecherous face. He's definitely going to force himself on her!]
[First Intent: Where are the cops? Why aren't they here yet?!]
Every viewer watched the livestream intently, wondering what A Jing's boyfriend would do.
The man took out a video camera and placed it on a cabinet, aiming the lens directly at the sofa.
"Honey, just record yourself assaulting her."
"That way, we'll have an endless supply of money from now on."
A Jing smiled smugly. "And Xiao Tuantuan will definitely help pay off the two million we owe."
Her voice wasn't loud.
But it was just loud enough for the livestream audience to hear.
[Tuantuan Fan: So it's all about money. They're planning to film a sex video and use it to blackmail Xiao Tuantuan!]
[Chu Yi: How could she do this? If she really needed money, Xiao Tuantuan would definitely lend it to her. Why resort to something so despicable?]
[Righteous Onlooker: People are so wicked. Are there any good people left in this world?]
[Top Diehard Fan: It doesn't matter whether there are any good people, as long as we have Master Lin! @Master Lin]
Before long...
The man approached Xiao Tuantuan and tried to take off her clothes.
Just as he pulled her top down to her shoulders, a sudden crash came from the front door.
A Jing and the man both looked over.
"Uncle Cop, don't move!"
"Everyone, get on the floor!"
Several imposing police officers rushed in and pinned A Jing and her boyfriend to the floor.
One officer held up a phone and said, "You've got some nerve. She's livestreaming, and you still dared to try something like this."
When A Jing saw the footage on the phone, her face turned ashen.
She had never imagined that Xiao Tuantuan was livestreaming.
And everything she had done had been recorded, witnessed by over a million people.
"No, this can't be real!"
A Jing trembled all over. She knew her life was ruined from this moment onward.
And she would lose Xiao Tuantuan, her "best friend."
"Uncle Cop, I just acted on impulse. Besides, we hadn't even started yet! You can't arrest me!" A Jing tried to argue.
A piercing gaze swept toward her.
The officer said coldly, "If you're about to murder someone but haven't started yet, does that mean you haven't committed a crime?"
A Jing immediately fell silent.
Although she wasn't committing murder, she had been about to act. At the very least, it was an attempted crime.
Meanwhile, an officer gave Xiao Tuantuan an injection.
Xiao Tuantuan came around. When she saw the scene in the living room, she froze.
What... was going on?
"Master Lin's prediction came true again?" Xiao Tuantuan murmured.
Years of close friendship shattered in that moment.
Chapter 31: Master, I Want True Love!
[Latest bulletin: Yesterday, with assistance from a public-spirited citizen surnamed Lin, Jiangzhou Uncle Cop rescued a woman surnamed Liu in time. Liu is reportedly an internet celebrity with a million followers, and the suspect, Jing, is her best friend.
Jing had been addicted to gambling for a long time and accumulated enormous gambling debts. She therefore conspired with Wu, her boyfriend, to film an explicit video of Liu for blackmail.
Following interrogation, Jing and Wu confessed to their unlawful acts.]
Trending for four days straight!
In just one night, the news that Lin Fan had helped Uncle Cop solve another case shot onto the trending list.
As soon as the police bulletin was released, Lin Fan's viewers across various platforms were thrilled.
[Top Diehard Fan: Master Lin is incredible! He can actually predict what's going to happen in the future!]
[My Papayas Are Huge: Does Master Lin have a girlfriend? I want to marry him!]
[Sheep a Sheep: Holy shit, can you believe it? Master Lin did a casual reading and predicted everything Xiao Tuantuan would encounter!]
As the trending story continued to spread, Lin Fan's popularity remained sky-high.
Even with his livestream screen dark, tens of thousands of people stayed in the room.
Everyone who entered the livestream room was shocked. He wasn't even broadcasting, yet countless comments kept scrolling past, showing just how popular Lin Fan had become.
Meanwhile...
Early that morning, Lin Fan had just gotten out of bed and was planning to head outside for some exercise.
But the moment he opened the door, he saw a dense crowd outside.
"What a shame. Master Lin and I aren't destined to meet."
"I thought it was just a rumor, but it's actually true! I'm clearly walking forward, yet I'm moving backward!"
"Make way, make way! Let me try."
Several hundred people were trying to approach Lin Fan's shop, including a shop owner from neighboring Jade Street.
When the shop owner saw Lin Fan, he immediately shouted, "Lin, I've been waiting for you all night! Hurry up and let me through."
Lin Fan noticed that the shop owner was holding a wooden box. He used the Qi-Observing Technique and saw a wisp of azure qi suffusing the box.
His eyes brightened slightly, and he called to the shop owner, "Brother Qin, just walk straight over."
Hearing this...
The shop owner hurried over, saying as he ran, "Thank you so much for yesterday. If you hadn't warned me, I'd be lying in a hospital bed right now."
"This is a small gift. I hope you'll accept it."
He opened the wooden box. Inside, a piece of emerald-green jade shimmered like colored glass in the sunlight.
[Ding! Taoist magical artifact detected. It can be exchanged for three thousand heavenly mechanism points.]
Lin Fan's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't expected the shop owner to bring him a magical artifact.
"Brother Qin, this jade is too valuable. Please take it back."
He wasn't greedy. If it had been an ordinary piece of jade, he would have gladly accepted it, but a magical artifact's value was immeasurable. He couldn't accept such an expensive gift.
"This is the finest piece of jade in my shop. You have to accept it, Lin. Just stop by more often in the future, check my feng shui, and tell my fortune. That's all I ask."
The shop owner forcibly shoved the wooden box into Lin Fan's arms. Before Lin Fan could react, he turned and left.
When he had come to see Lin Fan yesterday, he had learned about Lin Fan's exploits online from the people talking nearby.
