Chapter 45: What a Coincidence
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Wei Ting fired a shot, he put away his pistol. This shot was deliberately misfired in order to teach Zhou Peng a lesson. It was just that his ear was a little bruised, nothing else serious. After he was done, he left the corridor. The two bodyguards watched nervously as Zhou Peng covered his ears, not daring to stop Wei Ting.
On the other side, Su Meng was riding home in Zhou Peng’s car. One of the bodyguards was driving, while the other was sitting beside her. Both of them looked fierce. In order not to cause any other trouble, she tried her best to reduce her presence. She looked out of the window quietly.
Although Zhou Peng had promised not to hurt her before he left, he had only made this decision because he was interested in her suggestions. Su Meng could feel that Zhou Peng really wanted to torture her at that time.
When she recalled Zhou Peng’s gaze at that time, that ruthless and cruel aura, she still had lingering fear in her heart. Back then, she had made several suggestions, but all of them were rejected by Zhou Peng. He was not interested in anything except his own health.
However, to him, his body had been weak since he was young. Even the doctors could not cure him, so he had long given up. Now that he heard that Su Meng could help him, even if the chances were slim, he would still give it a try.
The reason why Zhou Peng dared to let Su Meng leave was because he knew that Su Meng cared about her master. As long as her master was still alive, Su Meng would not dare to run away on her own.
Zhou Peng’s weakness was not entirely due to innate reasons. The yin qi around his face was because someone had intentionally cast a curse on him. Although it was difficult to break it, Su Meng felt that she had a 90% chance of success.
She remembered that Master had said this before. A newborn baby can suffer such an effect if someone used their birth date, birth time, and fetal hair, as well as something from a dead person as a carrier. When yin is prosperous and yang is declining, the longevity of yang is greatly reduced, and the body’s condition keeps getting worse and worse.
However, Zhou Peng was the only son of the Zhou family. Who would treat him like this? He only had one younger sister, and there was no situation of fighting for the family property. Moreover, it was said that the Zhou family had only one son for several generations, and all of them were only sons. His father also did not have any siblings. How could anyone harm him in such a family environment?
“Miss Su, do you really have a way to help our Young Master?” Su Meng was lost in thought as she looked out the window when the bodyguard sitting next to her suddenly asked. His rough voice gave her a fright.
Su Meng nodded stiffly and said, “Young Master Zhou was not born like this. From his expression just now, it was definitely intentional. However, I need time to resolve this matter. After all, this situation has been with him for a long time. It is not something that can be resolved in a day or two.”
After the bodyguard heard this, he nodded in agreement and rubbed his head with a smile. He apologized to Su Meng. “That, as long as Miss Su can help our Young Master heal, she will be our benefactor. In the future, if you have any problems, you can look for us. Actually, our Young Master is also a pitiful person. He…”
“Cough cough, Miss Su, look, we’re almost there. Where should we send you?”
Before the bodyguard beside her could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the driver. The bodyguard seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly shut his mouth, not saying another word.
Su Meng also understood in her heart that no matter how harmonious this kind of big family appeared on the surface, there would still be some intrigue. She was not in the mood to know about this kind of thing. As long as she could cure Zhou Peng and make him stop causing trouble for her in the future, then she would be burning incense. She did not dare to let them be grateful to her.
“Just park near Antique Street.” Su Meng did not want to stay with these two any longer. When she arrived, she quickly got out of the car.

No one spoke for the rest of the journey. Su Meng got out of the car near Antique Street and politely said goodbye to the two bodyguards. Then, she quickly walked into the antique shop.
However, not long after, a black luxury car drove over and slowly stopped beside Su Meng.
After what happened just now, Su Meng had a shadow over this kind of black car. When she saw the car stop beside her, her first reaction was to leave.
Just as she was about to run, the car door opened, revealing a face that she was extremely familiar with. It was Wei Ting’s driver, Li Bing.
Seeing that Su Meng was fine, Li Bing heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to pass by to greet her. “What a coincidence, Young Madam. Why are you here? Do you need me to send you somewhere?”
As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling person. Although Su Meng hated the Wei family, Li Bing was very polite. She smiled and replied, “Thank you, but there’s no need. I’ll be home soon.”
