Chapter 25: What do you want me to guess?

"The victim has been found, but what about the suspect? Who caused it?"

"Didn't Little Feather already say it? She was harmed by her boyfriend."

"Who is the boyfriend? Can the streamer give us more details?"

Jiang Muyu appeared calm and composed. "That’s about the extent of it. For the specifics, my dears, you’ll have to wait for the investigation report from Officer Tao."

As she spoke, Jiang Muyu sent all the information to Tao Zhizhan. As for how to conduct the investigation, that was the police’s job; she didn't need to trouble herself with it.

"If I call in to report clues now, will I get a reward?"

"To the person above, do you really think the police aren't watching Little Feather’s stream?"

"What absolute scum. No wonder Little Feather didn't call it an 'unclean thing' earlier; it turns out the unclean thing is still alive."

"Thinking about how the other person died, I’m not as scared anymore; instead, I feel heartbroken."

"Alright, my darlings, the previous request has been fulfilled. Are there any other darlings in the stream who want a reading? It’s almost dinner time, so don't just think about it—act now!"

Perhaps because the impact of the last reading was so great, someone actually sent a gift.

['Never Cry' sent a Carnival × 1]

Jiang Muyu’s eyes curved into crescents. Excellent, this person had good taste.

"Thank you for the Carnival, 'Never Cry'! Thank you, dear! You can connect now."

In the next second, Jiang Muyu saw the connection request. Being so familiar with the process, they must be a fan of her channel! She admired people like that.

"Hello, 'Never Cry', what would you like to—"

Before Jiang Muyu could finish her sentence, she saw the man on the other end raise his hand. She paused, looking at him with a puzzled expression. What was he doing?

"Who gave you permission to call me 'dear'?"

"Huh?" Jiang Muyu was stunned.

The man kept a cold face and spoke again: "Listen, streamer, I’m here for a fortune-telling. You’d better behave yourself and don't get any ideas about seducing me. Besides, I already have a girlfriend, even if we just broke up recently."

"..."

Jiang Muyu’s smile faded. She wanted to say something but couldn't; she was so exasperated she ended up laughing.

Seeing the expression on her face, Jiang Muqing instinctively moved his wheelchair backward. He hadn't misremembered; the first time she had needled him, Jiang Muyu had worn that exact same expression, and then she had knocked him unconscious...

"This guy is quite... wait, I haven't even finished typing and he said that?"

"No, you, I, huh?"

"You can tell Little Feather is speechless, hahahahaha!"

"Little Feather was just being polite, and this guy actually thinks he’s her 'dear'?"

"If you don't want to hear it, leave. I’m the only 'dear' for Little Feather!"

"Is this why they say men are delusional? I couldn't even dream up lines like that."

Seeing the screen full of comments defending her, Jiang Muyu felt relieved. There were still plenty of normal people in the world.

However, she didn't dare to smile this time. She straightened her face and looked at him. "So, sir, what would you like to have read? Is there anything I can help you with?"

'Never Cry' remained dissatisfied. "I came here for a reading, why are you asking so many questions? Just say whatever I ask, and don't ask about things I don't want to talk about."

Jiang Muyu smiled. "Understood."

The stream fell into silence. Thirty seconds later, 'Never Cry' spoke again.

"Aren't you a metaphysics streamer? You don't even know what I want to have read when we're connected?"

Jiang Muyu: "Haha, sir, are you asking me to guess your thoughts?"

"Hahahaha, Little Feather, have you been driven crazy?"

"What is this guy doing? What exactly does he want the streamer to guess?"

"If I remember correctly, didn't this guy just tell her not to ask, and now he wants her to guess? I don't get it, I really don't."

"If it’s this bad, just refund the money and leave. I’m sick of people who make unreasonable demands."

"The guy looks normal enough, but is there something wrong with his brain?"

'Never Cry' snorted. "So you can't guess it. I thought you were actually good."

He sighed, looking very disappointed. "Fine. It’s nothing major, I just want you to tell me where my girlfriend is."

Jiang Muyu paused. "Your girlfriend is missing? How long has she been gone? Have you called the police?"

The man clicked his tongue and explained with extreme reluctance: "That's why I'm asking you, isn't it? She’s not missing, she just left in a fit of pique. I’m very worried about her safety, so I want you to help me find her..."

"Did you have an argument?" Jiang Muyu asked.

"There was a slight disagreement. She ran away from home, and I want to know where she is now. I want to win her back. It was my fault, I shouldn't have said those things. Please, just come back."

Seeing the tears falling from the man's eyes, some in the stream began to feel sympathetic.

"Whatever happens, you shouldn't run away from home; it makes people worry."

"Sister, are you watching the stream? You can still run away after looking at a face like that? Just come back!"

"If there’s an issue, talk it out. Don't run away or threaten breakups all the time; it ruins the relationship."

"How long has she been gone? You should have contact info, right? Why come to a live stream to find someone?"

"Why do I feel like there isn't a shred of truth in what this guy says? Could these be crocodile tears?"

"Agreed. If he really wanted to reach her, he wouldn't need to come to a stream. Could it be that his real-life contact info has been blocked?"

Jiang Muyu saw his mean-spirited appearance, and coupled with his earlier attitude, she wondered what kind of girl could put up with his temper. Perhaps it was precisely because she couldn't stand his temperament that she had left.

"Tell me your girlfriend's date of birth and time, and I'll calculate it for you."

'Never Cry' blinked. "What date of birth? How would I know her birth date?"

Jiang Muyu spread her hands helplessly. "If you don't know anything, how am I supposed to help you? Tell me, why did you two argue?"

'Never Cry' turned his head away, his voice barely audible. "It was just a small thing. There was an accident—she got pregnant, I didn't want it, we had a huge fight, and she left. I don't know where she went..."

Jiang Muyu pondered for a moment, struggling to process his words. "So, you forced your girlfriend to abort the child, and now you regret it and want her back?"

"Wait a second, brother. This is a metaphysics stream, not a relationship advice column, right?"

To everyone's surprise, 'Never Cry' insisted, "That's right. Didn't you say you could read anything? I already paid for a Carnival, so now you have to help me fix this."
