You truly have no eye for value!

“My car is equipped with a dashcam, and besides, I’m a police officer!”

The woman who had been wailing just moments ago looked at Song Ye as he showed his badge. She hesitated briefly, then closed her eyes and pretended to faint.

Song Ye didn’t know what else to do. He took out his phone and called the local police station and hospital.

Their car was stopped on the emergency lane. Not knowing the extent of the woman’s injuries and wary of causing further harm, Song Ye didn’t dare to touch her.

All he could do was crouch nearby, holding an umbrella over the elderly woman, his eyes scanning the surroundings. The drizzly weather had nearly washed away any traces that might have been left behind.

Visibility was poor, and it was unclear whether any cameras in the vicinity had captured anything.

The police car and ambulance arrived simultaneously.

Even though the arriving officers were old acquaintances of Song Ye, formal procedures had to be followed. Song Ye had no choice but to follow the police car off the highway at the nearest exit.

Yun Ran accompanied him into the police station for the second time. Fortunately, this time she was not the one being questioned; a young female officer led her straight to the reception room.

Song Ye’s reputation seemed well-known—most of the officers there recognized him.

The officers treated them politely, and Yun Ran’s treatment improved accordingly.

The female officer not only prepared hot milk for Yun Ran but also offered her a variety of snacks.

Even the Ginseng Fruit felt envious: “It’s a pity that although I’m an advanced bionic system with five senses, I can’t savor these treats. How melancholic~”

Yun Ran paused for a moment. It was the first time she realized that the system also possessed five senses. She was quite generous to her own kind.

Why had she been so poor before? Perhaps because she had given all her money to buy rare treasures and herbs to gift her master and senior uncle. She was remarkably generous.

“Would you like to try some?”

The Ginseng Fruit, thinking of Yun Ran’s abilities, became excited and nodded vigorously—it definitely wanted to try.

Although it hailed from a higher world, where people no longer indulged in culinary pleasures—eating only potions or pills for maximum nutrient absorption—this was an opportunity not to be missed.

“Wait for me. When I find the materials, I’ll create a body for you so you can also taste the world’s deliciousness!”

“Host, you’re the best, love you ღ(´･ᴗ･`)”

Before the snacks were finished, Song Ye returned. Seeing Yun Ran nibbling like a squirrel, with snack wrappers scattered all over the coffee table, he felt a slight headache coming on.

“You really don’t hold back at all.”

Yun Ran patted her chest: “We’re family; why keep formalities? Besides, I’m not the type to take advantage. I’ll settle up with them later…”

Song Ye couldn’t help but rub his forehead, cutting her off: “Just calm down.”

Was Yun Ran’s fortune-telling accurate? So far, yes. But no one could guarantee perfection. As a police officer, Song Ye had to ensure absolute accuracy.

If Yun Ran made even a small mistake, the consequences would be unbearable. Frankly, Song Ye’s trust in her was limited.

She could say whatever she wanted in front of him, but if others took it seriously, detention would be the least of her worries.

Yun Ran wasn’t offended. After finishing the last sip of milk, she sighed regretfully: “My divinations are priceless, but you just don’t appreciate it!”

By the time they returned to Haicheng, night had fallen. Song Ye dropped Yun Ran off in the southern villa district.

As she was about to say a few words, Song Ye floored the accelerator and sped away.

The Ginseng Fruit nearly laughed itself sick: “This is hilarious! Captain Song treats you like a dangerous beast.”

Yun Ran: …

“Forget it. Since he doesn’t appreciate me, next time he needs something from me, I’ll make sure he knows the biggest mistake of his life was underestimating a prodigy of the mystic sect!”

Yun Wan had been in a good mood, but upon seeing Yun Ran return, her smile quickly faded. She muttered quietly, “Bad luck!”

However, with Yun Jingyang present, Yun Wan behaved more cautiously and didn’t jump at Yun Ran. She was afraid of her eldest brother.

“Ran Ran is back.”

The voice belonged to Yun Jingyang, who was reviewing documents. As the rightful heir of the Yun family, he was the future head of the clan.

The original owner despised everyone in the Yun family except Yun Jingyang. In her memories, this eldest brother was genuinely kind and commanded her sincere respect.

In truth, this Yun family heir never regarded the original owner seriously, treating her more like a pet.

Since she posed no threat or influence over him, he was generous enough to show some kindness.

No matter what, this kindness was genuine, albeit scant and somewhat superficial.

Now that Yun Ran inhabited the original owner’s body, she bore the debts and grudges as well.

Her tone softened slightly: “Big Brother, you’re back.”

“This is a gift for you.”

For this ancestral ceremony, Yun Jingyang, as the legitimate heir, should have gone, but he had left for overseas business a month earlier and was unable to attend.

Looking at the exquisitely wrapped gift box before her, Yun Ran knew the contents were the same as what Yun Wan and Yun Qing had received, differing at most in color.

Yun Jingyang was quite adept at social graces, always treating his younger siblings equally.

The original owner had been blinded by Yun Jingyang’s kindness, unable to see his true nature.

He appeared refined and gentle but harbored an innate coldness and aloofness—a calm leader and a disciplined self-restrained individual.

Anyone who sought favors from him or threatened his interests was courting disaster.

“Thank you, Big Brother.”

Yun Jingyang smiled: “I’m glad you like it.”

Though the box remained unopened, Yun Ran’s expression of appreciation didn’t strike Yun Jingyang as odd. The entire exchange was merely a formality.

Such was the etiquette of the Yun family heir—not revealing likes or dislikes easily.

“Big Brother, I’m feeling unwell. I’ll go back to my room first.”

With that, Yun Ran took the gift box and headed to the room in the farthest corner on the first floor.

As soon as she opened the door, a crimson light, invisible to ordinary eyes, shot toward her face.

With a wave of her delicate hand, the red light dispersed.

“A deadly curse!”

Glancing around, Yun Ran spotted a cloth doll positioned directly opposite the door. If she recalled correctly, this doll was a birthday gift from her biological father when she turned five—her beloved A Bei Bei.

After a few swift moves dismantling the doll, she finally found a copper coin hidden inside—a coin meant solely for burial rites.
