Gu Beicheng opened the door and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”


“Can you let me in? I have something to discuss with you.”


Gu Beicheng countered, “Let’s talk downstairs. There’s no need to stay in the bedroom.”


Before Gu Beicheng even knew it, Gu Dongcheng had whipped out a gun and fired a bullet at him without hesitation. Gu Beicheng had no time to dodge at all and did not have a gun with him, for he did not expect that Gu Dongcheng would be brazen enough to kill in the Gu family mansion.


There was no sound made at all, for Gu Doncheng had used a silencer.


“Mingxi… grab the gun!” Gu Beicheng yelled.


Lin Mingxi stopped eating and immediately retrieved the gun from the drawer. She then aimed it at Gu Dongcheng and fired away with her hands trembling uncontrollably.


At this point, Gu Beicheng had already suffered four shots to his body and blood was oozing out of the bullet holes. Clutching his bleeding wounds, Gu Beicheng tried to retreat back inside his room but was too weak to do so and instead just collapsed onto the ground.


Gu Dongcheng was not intimidated by Lin Mingxi’s gun at all. He even shot her and walked toward her.


Noticing how bent he was on killing her, Lin Mingxi panicked and fired six consecutive bullets at him while suffering two gunshots herself.


After realizing that Gu Dongcheng had collapsed, she crawled toward the bed and called the captain of the bodyguards. Seconds before she lost her consciousness, she contemplated between calling the ambulance and calling An Xiaoning. In the end, she chose to call the latter.


An Xiaoning had just alighted from the car in the Gu family mansion when she received a call from Lin Mingxi. She had beat several red lights along the way. However, she still did not make it back in time.


She first headed to Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s bedroom to see that there were bloodstains everywhere. She stepped forward with her hands trembling uncontrollably and found that they had already stopped breathing. She then sprinted upstairs, her heart pounding uncontrollably in fear and panic.


Upon the sight of Gu Beicheng, An Xiaoning immediately rushed toward him and helped him up from the pool of blood he was in. Sensing that his heart was still beating faintly, she pasted an amulet on his forehead before pasting another one on Lin Mingxi, who had already pa.s.sed out.


The ambulance and police cars soon arrived.


The police watched the surveillance camera footage and recovered the scenario of the entire process. Gu Dongcheng did not plan to destroy the surveillance cameras at all. After all, he was not capable of doing so.


The ambulance sent Gu Beicheng and Lin Mingxi to the hospital for emergency rescue.


Since Mr. and Mrs. Gu were already dead, there was no need to send them to the hospital.


However, that did not mean that An Xiaoning was going to give up on them.


She teared up incessantly and wept silently. She was deeply attached to the Gu family, especially to Mr. and Mrs. Gu, who had genuinely treated her like their own.


She had decided to read the Gu family members’ fortune while she was bored during dinner and immediately rushed over upon discovering that they would be met with a huge disaster tonight.


A disaster or calamity can usually be seen from one’s birth characters, including the time of death. She had read the fortunes of the Gu family members several times in the past, but she had never seen such a tragic bloodbath before.


An Xiaoning was initially planning to read Lin Mingxi’s fortune more often in the meantime, due to the fact that Lin Mingyuan now knew about her birth characters. However, An Xiaoning abruptly discovered that Lin Mingxi was about to meet with a disaster tonight and rushed to the mansion before even reading Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s birth characters and giving them a call.


She did not expect for there to be such a major disaster.


An Xiaoning did not understand why she could not foresee certain calamities and could only predict them right before they happened.


At this moment, she realized the reason.


She had once changed the fate of the Gu family members to protect them from a fatal disaster, and she had also done the same for Lin Mingxi and Mrs. Gu several times before. She had also predicted that Mr. Gu would suffer a bone fracture and even informed him beforehand. It was the same for Gu Beicheng. There were now changes in their fates.


Their lives were proceeding according to the altered route.


There was no certainty when it came to fortune-telling.


Perhaps that was because fortune-telling would shorten one’s lifespan, as was said by many others.


However, it was too late to say anything now that the disaster had already happened. All she could do now was to do her best to make amends.


She risked everything she had in order to save them and performed a ritual to make her soul travel to the netherworld.


Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s spirits were already on their way to report to Hades.


She could still b.u.mp into them along the way if she was quick enough.


She made it just in time and b.u.mped into Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s spirits.


“Xiaoning!” Mr. and Mrs. Gu yelled in surprise upon the sudden sight of her.


Holding her hands together, An Xiaoning bowed down at Heibai and Wuchang. “Lords, could you please do me a favor?”


Heibai and Wuchang recognized who she was and said, “Their time is already up, and their names have already been removed from the book of death. We cannot turn back time anymore. Miss An, I must remind you that you can’t leak Heaven’s secrets. Otherwise, you’ll ruin the karmic cycle of others. In the end, your health will be affected too, Miss An. Not all sins can be atoned for, and you’ll have to bear the consequences if you can’t atone for them.”


“Lords, could you tell me why I wasn’t able to predict today’s fatal disaster when I read their fortunes previously? Is it because I had changed their fates?”


“Since you’ve altered the fates that Heaven had already planned out, things will naturally take a turn and lean toward the altered path. There’s no way we can control that now. Both of them should have pa.s.sed on long ago, but they’d managed to continue living for so much longer because of your intervention.”


“Gu Dongcheng is dead too, why didn’t you bring him away?”


“We didn’t see his spirit. He must have fled, but he can’t return to life. He’ll have to report to us sooner or later.”


“Could you allow me to say a few words to my parents? It won’t take up much time,” said An Xiaoning, handing them some gold ingots. Upon seeing them accept the ingots, she frantically said, “Thank you, Lords.”


“Don’t mention it, Miss An.”


An Xiaoning walked toward Mr. and Mrs. Gu and kowtowed to them thrice. She then stood up and said, “Father, Mother, I’m sorry for failing to save you. I was unfilial.”


Tearing up incessantly, Mrs. Gu said, “I don’t blame you, it’s not your fault. We were too careless. It’s all your father’s fault for agreeing to let that b.a.s.t.a.r.d come home. If not for that, this wouldn’t have happened to the Gu family. Seems like your grandfather’s prediction was right. Remember when your grandfather said that Nun Jingxin once said that the Gu family would face with an unpreventable disaster and wanted you to give the family a hand? Xiaoning, could you promise me to help the Gu family tide over this ordeal?”


“I will, for sure. Rest a.s.sured, Mother.”


Mrs. Gu nodded and asked fearfully, “How are… Beicheng and Mingxi?”


“Beicheng was shot four times while Mingxi was shot twice. They’ve already been admitted to the hospital, they’ll be alright.”


Mrs. Gu heaved a sigh of relief and told her a string of numbers. “Remember this pa.s.scode. With you beside Beicheng…”
