Chapter 236 - 237: Burning Talisman Paper
Xiao Wang gritted his teeth and gave his assurance. Besides the boss being a bit difficult to deal with, he was actually very satisfied with the job—especially the high pay.
He had always been a conscientious worker, but he had no idea what was wrong with the car today. It had been acting up nonstop ever since they set out.
’This time, I absolutely, positively have to drive carefully. Even if there’s a small problem, I can’t let the boss find out.’
But what he failed to notice was that the Jade Buddha his mother had given him as a child was slowly turning black as a deathly aura crept over it.
Su Nian had intended to mind her own business and just drive away.
But when she saw the man’s face through the car window, she stopped.
This man had a partnership with the Su Family. If he died, the family’s project would suffer a loss.
’You can get on the wrong side of anyone, but you can’t get on the wrong side of money.’
Su Nian pulled her car over to the side of the road and got out briskly.
She lightly knocked on the black car’s window, took out a yellow paper talisman, and folded it casually.
The man inside the car was impatiently looking ahead. He was in his thirties, well-maintained, and wore a pair of glasses that gave him a scholarly appearance. Right now, his only thought was getting to his client meeting.
Hearing someone knock on his car door now made him even more irritated.
But the moment he rolled down the window, the man froze. A piece of yellow paper slapped against his face.
When he saw the young woman’s face, he was even more shocked.
"Miss Su?"
The fact that Su Nian of the Su Family dabbled in feudal superstitions instead of holding down a proper job was no secret in their circle. Rumor had it she was actually quite potent.
But the man didn’t believe in such things and only found the situation strange.
The young woman’s expression was blank, her gaze indifferent as she said, "I’m saving your life today. Remember to give the Su Family a better deal later."
"Huh?"
But before he could voice his question, Su Nian had already waved, gotten back in her car, and driven away.
"Master, you know the owner of that luxury car?"
The moment she got back in the car, the boy leaned over, eager for gossip.
Su Nian shot him a sidelong glance. "Why are you so nosy?"
Sensing Su Nian’s displeasure, he shut his mouth. But his fingers, typing furiously on his phone, betrayed his excitement.
Meanwhile, the driver had seen his fair share of the world, but even he was a bit surprised that his boss actually knew such a charlatan.
Especially a charlatan who was dressed so well.
"That young lady sure has a sense of humor."
He chuckled awkwardly, but deep down, he couldn’t help but feel something was off. After all, he was a veteran driver. Who could have expected so many problems today?
Su Nian had departed without any explanation, and the man hadn’t uttered a sound.
Watching her retreat in the rearview mirror, he sneered. It wasn’t convenient to throw the thing out on the road right now, but that didn’t mean he believed Su Nian.
"Who still believes in this stuff anymore?"
He casually tossed the talisman paper aside.
But to his shock, after driving for only ten minutes, the car was hit!
The vehicle that hit them was a large truck full of cement, which was now spilled all over the ground.
The understated luxury car was sent flying, but by a sheer coincidence, it stopped just inches from breaking through the guardrail and plummeting.
It had been knocked right up against the barrier.
And all this happened no more than ten minutes after Su Nian had given him the talisman!
The truck driver was dead, but they were somehow completely unharmed...
The driver, Xiao Wang, felt a chill run down his spine. He cautiously looked around. Aside from the shock, he and his boss were truly, completely unharmed.
’Even the car isn’t seriously damaged. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?’
"She... that young lady... she wasn’t joking!"
The man didn’t speak, scared stiff. In the instant they were sent flying, he had already composed his last words in his mind.
Seeing his boss in a daze, Xiao Wang didn’t hesitate, immediately opening the door and pulling his boss out.
He saw the somewhat worn piece of yellow paper on the leather seat. It had now burned into a pile of ash, with only a few scattered yellow fragments remaining to prove it had ever existed.
