Chapter 15: He Is Destined to Be Shen Yanzhou’s Achilles’ Heel! (With Divination)
Shen Yanzhou frowned after listening.
“Grandfather, what are you saying? What happened to Fourth Cousin?”
Old Master Shen shouted, “Don’t play dumb with me!”
Shen Yanzhou pursed his lips. “Grandfather, I’ll come over and talk face to face.”
“You’d better be quick!” After roaring, the Old Master hung up the phone angrily.
The corner of Shen Yanzhouâs mouth hooked into a scornful smile.
He walked back to the dining table.
His long hand rested on Lin Yuanâs shoulder.
“I’m going out for a bit. You continue eating. When you’re full, play by yourself in the villa. Pool, gym, screening room, we have them all; you can ask Uncle Chen.”
“But don’t play until you’re too tired. Rest more.”
Finally, he lowered his head and kissed the top of his head lightly. “Be good, Xiao Yuan.”
Lin Yuan felt that the current Shen Yanzhou reeked of paternalism.
He nodded perfunctorily.
Continued to bury his head in the food.
Shen Yanzhouâs gaze lingered on his cheek for a moment before turning to leave the dining room.
Seeing him leave, Lin Yuan let out a deep sigh of relief.
He put down his chopsticks and leaned back in the chair, lowering his eyes slightly.
This big villa was like a luxurious, extravagant gold birdcage.
Shen Yanzhou imprisoned him here, turning him into his private plaything.
This man was too powerful and too terrifying; he had no ability to resist him at all.
But he wasn’t one to submit meekly and wait for death.
He definitely had to escape, but he had to think of a foolproof plan.
Otherwise, run away in the morning, legs broken in the afternoon!
The urgent task right now was to find his biological parents quickly.
With a home, he would no longer be drifting duckweed and wild grass.
With someone to love and protect him, Shen Yanzhou would have to have some scruples if he wanted to bully him again, right?
But the Imperial City was so big; where could he find his family?
When his Master picked him up in the back mountain back then, there was no identity information.
Master said he was only a few months old at the time.
Aside from a stack of money in the small cradle, there was nothing to prove his identity.
Master took him back, gave him Masterâs surname Lin, and named him Lin Yuan.
Growing up, whenever he had a disagreement with Master, he would clamor to go down the mountain to find his biological parents.
Master stopped him every time, not letting him go.
Of course, he actually just wanted to scare Master and go against him; he didn’t really want to leave Master.
A few days ago, Master knew his time was approaching. He called him to the bed and told him to go down the mountain to the Imperial City to find his biological parents after he died.
This time, he unprecedentedly listened to Masterâs words.
Master passed away, and he used almost all the money Master left to give him a grand burial.
Then, carrying his request, he came down the mountain.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanâs eyes reddened.
He missed Master so much!
The only person in this world who loved him was gone.
Thinking back to how he always made Master angry and went against him.
He really wasn’t a decent person!
He wiped his eyes, the corners of his lips twitching with grievance.
Outside the dining room, just as Uncle Chen was about to enter to take Lin Yuan to get familiar with the environment, he saw the Little Young Master secretly wiping tears alone.
Uncle Chen sighed softly.
This child was quite pitiful too; heard he was an orphan with no one to rely on.
His own Young Master had a cold and hard temper; he didn’t know if this child could stand it.
Uncle Chen stopped a maid outside the dining room and deliberately raised his voice pitch: “Wait until Mr. Lin finishes eating, then go clean up!”
Hearing the voice, Lin Yuan hurriedly wiped the tears from his face.
Only then did Uncle Chen walk in slowly.
“Mr. Lin, Young Master just ordered me to take you around to get familiar with the environment.”
Lin Yuan lowered his eyes and shook his head, his voice downcast. “No need to trouble yourself. I’m tired; I’ll go back to the room to rest.”
After speaking, he stood up and walked toward the door.
Uncle Chen followed behind him.
Hesitating for a moment, he still said, “Mr. Lin, actually the Young Master treats you very well. It’s just, he may not know how to express it…”
Lin Yuan turned his head. In those beautiful phoenix eyes, the expression was indescribable.
Was it grief and indignation, sorrow, or helplessness? Uncle Chen couldn’t quite read it.
“He treats me very well? Should I thank him properly?”
Uncle Chen: …
Having said that, Lin Yuan turned and walked away.
Uncle Chen shook his head slightly.
He had come to the villa to be the butler when Shen Yanzhou was seventeen, so he understood him somewhat.
At that time, Shen Yanzhou was still in the triad. Although young, he was already the Big Brother’s most valued confidant.
This house was also bought for him by the Big Brother.
Over these years, from triad boss to group president, amidst the intrigue and deception on the surface and the swords and shadows behind the scenes, he made life and death decisions while laughing and chatting.
Although he had always been surrounded by admirers like stars around the moon, he was like a lone wolf; he never made a space in his heart for anyone.
But since Lin Yuan appeared two days ago, things had become different.
Uncle Chen could see at a glance that this Little Young Master was destined to be Shen Yanzhou’s Achilles’ heel!
Lin Yuan went up to the second floor. He didn’t want to enter the bedroom.
That room left him with deep fear and disgust.
He walked into a room next to it.
Looking at it, it seemed to be a study.
Just as he sat down, Uncle Chen knocked on the door again.
Lin Yuan shouted toward the door, “Uncle Chen, I want to be alone for a while!”
Uncle Chenâs voice came through the crack of the door.
“Mr. Lin, Young Master just called and said he bought you a new phone. It’s all set up, just on the computer desk in this room.”
Lin Yuan scanned the desk.
Sure enough, beside the bookends in the corner sat a brand-new, latest-model Apple phone.
He picked it up and tapped it open. The apps from his original phone were all there, plus some popular games and entertainment software.
There was a new message on WeChat.
He tapped it open; it was sent by Shen Yanzhou just now.
“The old phone has been thrown away. Use this one.”
Lin Yuan didn’t feel there was anything wrong with his old phone and had no enthusiasm for this expensive new phone.
He didn’t reply and exited the chat page.
He tapped open the WeChat wallet to check his remaining balance.
At this look, his eyes instantly widened.
The balance showed there was actually two hundred thousand and two hundred!
Only that two hundred was from his original phone.
He couldn’t help but laugh dumbly.
Was this the treatment of a canary?
He sighed lightly.
His mood was somewhat irritable.
He tapped open the short video page, swiping randomly and absentmindedly.
At this time, a livestream room called “Master Bai Divination” attracted his attention.
Master Bai on the screen was in his fifties, wearing a black Tang suit with a front opening, a dark and thin face.
On the table in front of him sat a delicate small teapot.
A shiny black small tortoise shell and three copper coins were scattered on the tabletop.
Master Bai was connecting with a netizen. In the small screen on the bottom right was a middle-aged woman.
Lin Yuan tapped into the livestream room, wanting to watch the excitement and relax his mood.
The connection had just started, and the woman stated her request.
“Master, I am already thirty-five this year; this child didn’t come easily!” she said.
“I have a problem with slipping tires (miscarriages); I’ve already lost two babies before! I want to ask you to calculate if this child can be born smoothly?”
“I already sent you the birth date and time when queuing in the backend yesterday.”
Master Bai nodded. “Okay. Let me take a look.”
As he spoke, he looked down at a small notebook on the table.
“Mn, it’s here. Wait a moment; I’ll cast a hexagram to calculate for you.”
Master Bai put the three copper coins into the tortoise shell.
Sitting upright, holding the tortoise shell with both hands, he closed his eyes gently and shook it a few times.
After letting the coins tumble inside the shell for a while, he poured the coins onto the table.
He examined them closely, then made a few notes on the paper.
Then he repeated the process of shaking the tortoise shell five times.
After connecting the recorded hexagrams and studying them, he nodded slightly.
“Mn, all six lines are Yang lines, the Qian Hexagram. As long as you make a little layout adjustment in the room, this birth can be smooth!”
The woman was overjoyed hearing this. “Then I have to trouble you to set up the layout!”
Master Bai nodded with a slightly smug look. “Naturally.”
Lin Yuan in front of the screen, however, frowned.
He looked at the six hexagrams he had recorded synchronously with the Master, shaking his head.
Clearly, there were moving lines and changing lines among them; Master Bai either missed them or simply didn’t see them.
He connected the six hexagrams again, analyzing the line positions and the relationships between the lines.
His expression turned solemn.
After hesitating for a moment, his fingers tapped a few words on the keyboard: “The heavy-handed (client) is destined to have no children; this fetus is 90% a ghost fetus!”
