Chapter 3 I'm a Fortune Teller

  The middle-aged beauty sat opposite Yu Han and said: "I'm sorry, I was really too rash just now."

  Yu Han said: "Really no need to apologize, boss's wife, you must have something hard to say."

  The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and didn't want to talk about her own affairs with a stranger, just smiled and said: "It's just some family matters."

  Yu Han took a drag on his cigarette, gazing at the middle-aged beauty's lovely face, then took a sip of water and smiled: "Since we've met, it must be fate; I'll help you out."

  The middle-aged beautiful woman was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "How can you help me?"

  Yu Han smiled mysteriously and didn't say a word, but stared at the middle-aged beautiful woman with an unblinking gaze. This kind of eye contact had a hint of obscenity, making the middle-aged beautiful woman's face flush red as she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to make eye contact with Yu Han.

  After a moment, Yu Han withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "So that's how it is."

  "Huh?" The middle-aged beautiful woman had no idea what Yu Han was talking about.

  "You're still worried about your ex-husband." Yu Han said.

  The middle-aged beauty looked at Yu Han in surprise and asked: "How did you know?"

  Yu Han glanced around and said: "There are many people here, some things can't be said. If the boss's wife doesn't mind, shall we take a step aside to talk?"

  The middle-aged beauty felt that the guy in front of her was a bit strange, then stood up and said: "Follow me."

  The diners all saw this scene and began discussing it in a low voice.

  "Look, the landlady has taken him away."

  "Wow, look at them exchanging flirtatious glances, are they going to have a passionate encounter?"

  "It's very likely, the boss is quite attractive, this guy is also handsome and knows kung fu, so that aspect must be very strong too."

  "It's quite possible, look at that old lady boss, her face is full of resentment, I reckon she hasn't had a good time in a long while."

  Yu Han heard all of their conversation and was speechless about it.

  Under the leadership of a middle-aged beautiful woman, Yu Han came to the second floor, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the bedroom.

  The bedroom was filled with a woman's unique hormonal scent, making Yu Han somewhat unaccustomed.

  The middle-aged beautiful woman sat at the head of the bed and said to Yu Han: "Please sit down."

  Yu Han sat down and continued smoking.

  "Little brother, just say what you want to say," said the middle-aged beautiful woman.

  "I'll call you Hua Jie too, it sounds more intimate this way." Yu Han said.

  "Mm." The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and nodded.

  "You, Hua Liying, are 32 years old, from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. You met Zhou Yuan in college and fell in love, then got married and had a child after graduation. Your life was happy and fulfilling. Your 5-year-old daughter, Zhou Jia, is also very pretty and is still in kindergarten, with you having custody of her. Originally, your family was harmonious, and the noodle restaurant business was doing well too. However, after becoming wealthy, Zhou Yuan started to become unfaithful, flirting with other women outside and even committing domestic violence against you. There's a scar on your back from when Zhou Yuan used a fruit knife to slash you, and there's also a scar on your right arm from being whipped by a belt until it bled. That Zhou Yuan is indeed a beast! Alas, he has a problem, having such a beautiful wife at home but not knowing how to cherish her, instead going outside to fool around. Because of this, you two got divorced, and after the divorce, you continued to run the noodle restaurant, with business getting better and better, now expanding to four chain stores. As for Zhou Yuan, he squandered all his money, his mistress fell in love with someone else, then he thought about reconciling with you and even wanted to take back custody of Zhou Jia. You didn't agree, which triggered his revenge mentality."

  Yu Han finished speaking and lit another cigarette.

  The middle-aged beauty was stunned, she didn't expect Yu Han to know so thoroughly, could it be that he was a legendary private detective?

  Yu Han continued: "Half a month ago, Zhou Yuan had someone put medicine in the edible oil at your noodle shop. The customers who came to eat here were all vomiting and having diarrhea. And Zhou Yuan also made it clear that he did it himself, saying that if you don't return his daughter to him, he will continue to cause trouble and make your business go bankrupt. Three days ago, he gathered a group of people to smash one of your branch stores. The employees fought back, but were beaten and hospitalized. You reported the incident to the police, but it was useless. Recently, you've been crying every night, with no one to comfort or take care of you. You've been patrolling between several branch stores, warning employees to be on guard in case Zhou Yuan comes again to cause trouble. Are you prepared to fight him hard? Sister Hua, am I right?"

  Hua Lianying listened and suddenly stood up, looking at Yu Han in disbelief, stuttering: "You... you... you..."

  Yu Han chuckled and said: "Sister Hua, don't be nervous, I'm not a private detective."

  Hua Liying was shocked after hearing this, how did this kid know what she was thinking in her heart?

  Yu Han continued, "Don't think too much about it, I don't have any relationship with Zhou Yuan at all. I'm an outsider, just arrived in Shanghai, and we're just passing acquaintances."

  "Hua Lianying has gone crazy, whatever she wants to ask, Yu Han can answer directly, leaning on him, what kind of person is he?"

  Yu Han said: "To be honest, I'm a fortune teller."

  "Really?" asked Hua Li Rong disbelievingly.

  "It doesn't matter whether it's true or false, Hua Jie, you're not having an easy time either. I'll eat a bowl of your fried noodles and owe you one favor, so I might as well help you out." Yu Han said.

  Hua Lianying was so moved that she burst into tears after hearing this.

  "I'm just a woman, that bastard is always looking for trouble with me, I really can't fight him, don't know what to do. Sometimes thinking about it, I really want to die... but then I think of Jiajia..." Speaking of her daughter, Hua Lianying cried even more sorrowfully.

  Seeing Hua Lianying so heartbroken, Yu Han wanted to lend her a shoulder for her to cry on, but thinking of the saying "men and women should not be too familiar", he gave up the idea immediately.

  Yu Han let out a light sigh and said, "Master taught me from a young age that when traveling the world, if you see injustice, you must draw your sword to help. Even if it means risking one's life, you absolutely cannot stand idly by. Hua Jie, rest assured, I'll take care of this matter for you, and guarantee there will be no worries afterwards."

  Yu Han's cowhide and rhino, Hua Lianying just witnessed it with her own eyes. The skill, whether it was a one-on-one or a group fight, was invincible. With Yu Han's help, did she still need to be afraid of Zhou Yuan that grandson?

  Thinking of this, Hua Liying was so excited that she wiped away the tears on her face and said to Yu Han with deep emotion: "I don't even know how to thank you."

  "Uh, if you really want to thank me, then trouble Flower Sister to get me some more food, I didn't eat enough earlier." Yu Han said without any politeness.

  Hua Liying burst out laughing after hearing that, and her mood improved a lot. Then she said: "You wait, I'll have the cook make it for you right away."
