[Speed Control Lost, Brakes Ineffective.]
These eight characters popped up on the car’s built-in screen.
The warning sound grew stronger and stronger, and the instruments inside the car started to go haywire.
Luckily, there weren’t many vehicles on the highway at this time,
Ying Tianlv’s lips were tightly pursed, his hands grasping the steering wheel, his gaze slightly focused.
Ever since he had that dream related to a car accident last year, he had switched to a new car.
This car was produced by an automotive company under the Venus Group.
The body was incredibly sturdy, said to be bulletproof, and equipped with an autonomous driving system and protective systems.
Ying Tianlv had obtained a brocade bag from Wen Renshan, but Wen Renshan also told him that it couldn’t ensure he would avoid disaster.
Moreover, premonitions were only premonitions—they could only confirm an accident, not the specifics.
The actual accident might not match the scenario shown in the dream for various reasons.
So to be safe, Ying Tianlv wouldn’t let anyone else drive for him; he always took matters into his own hands.
Even when he drove himself, he was extremely careful.
Still, he hadn’t expected something like this to happen.
Ying Tianlv took a deep breath, looked up, and finally saw an emergency escape ramp ahead.
He relaxed slightly, ready to turn the wheel to drive onto it,
But just then, another warning popped up on the car’s screen.
[Steering Wheel Malfunction]
“Shi—”
Ying Tianlv didn’t even have the time to drive onto the escape ramp before he, along with the car, hurtled straight through the guardrail and plummeted down.

Two in the afternoon.
Zhong Manhua was still asleep but was woken up by a call from First Hospital.
After hearing the content of the call, her face turned pale. She grabbed her bag without even taking the time to choose her clothes and hurried out.
When she arrived at the hospital, Zhong Manhua was more panicked than ever.
Seeing the doctor come out of the operating room, she immediately went up to him, grabbing his hand, “Doctor, my son, how is he? Also, is there…?”
That section of the highway was notoriously dangerous — it had seen numerous accidents before.
Falling from it almost always resulted in severe injury or death, with no exceptions.
“Are you the patient’s mother?” the doctor looked at her, “Please wait a moment.”
He went into the next room and soon came back out.
Zhong Manhua’s heart had risen to her throat, her palms were sweating from nervousness, her mind in complete disarray.
If something happened to Ying Tianlv, what would she do?
“The patient has just regained consciousness; he needs his emotions to be stable, and he doesn’t wish to see you at this time,” the doctor nodded slightly, “Please, come back later.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Manhua was first relieved, then taken aback, “Doesn’t… doesn’t want to see me?”
The doctor didn’t say anything further, took off his mask and walked past Zhong Manhua and left.
The Old Madam Ying and Ying Luwei were regulars at First Hospital. All the attending doctors were already well aware of the Ying Family’s affairs.
It can only be said that ill-gotten gains bring about one’s own destruction. Committing too many bad deeds resulted in a “sinful force” that would inevitably lead to retribution.
Zhong Manhua stood stunned in place, unable to recover for quite some time.
At that moment, Old Master Zhong also hurried over.
Zhong Manhua opened her mouth, “Dad, Tianlv he…”
Old Master Zhong ignored her and entered the hospital room led by another doctor.
The door opened and then closed again.
Zhong Manhua’s face turned ugly.
Old Master Zhong disregarded her, and even Ying Tianlv had grown distant from her.
If only she had kept Ying Zijin’s identity a tight secret from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
But now, there was no way to salvage the situation.
She had begged Ying Zijin, but Ying Zijin wouldn’t even give her a glance.
What could she do now?
At the thought, Zhong Manhua felt a series of pangs in her heart, fuming with frustration.
She was used to being proud, liking to have everything under her control, including her children’s lives and all affairs.
Whether it was Ying Tianlv or Ying Yuexuan before graduation, they only listened to her.
How could it be like Ying Zijin?
She shouldn’t have brought Ying Zijin back.
Then she would still be the harmonious wife, the mother of successful children, the Noble Lady everyone envied.
Zhong Manhua pursed her lips and managed a faint smile, then left the hospital as if in a daze.

In the hospital room.
Ying Tianlv lay on the hospital bed, his spirits not too bad.
His head was wrapped in several layers of gauze, and his right leg was in a cast.
Only then did Elder Zhong breathe a sigh of relief, “Thank goodness, thank goodness nothing serious happened. How could you have driven off the highway?”
“There was something wrong with the car,” Ying Tianlv turned his head and sighed, “It’s also my fault, I didn’t check it.”
He briefly recounted what happened.
Old Master Zhong’s expression changed, “Both the steering wheel and brakes failed? It must have been sabotage!”
“I thought so too,” Ying Tianlv said indifferently, “but I’m about to disappoint that person. Even though I broke my leg, I’m still in good condition.”
The moment the car shot off the highway, he thought he was a goner.
If not dead, there wouldn’t have been much difference from being a vegetable.
But right after the car plummeted, at the critical moment, several airbags popped out inside of the car.
Even the doors came off automatically.
Ying Tianlv had to admit, science and technology changed everything.
He wasn’t lightly hurt, but he still had the strength to crawl out.
And as soon as he crawled out of the car, it exploded.
Too many uncanny coincidences.
He was just a tad short of ending up with a destroyed car and lost life.
Hearing this, Old Master Zhong was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, “What kind of talk is that? If you weren’t well, could you lie here talking to me?”
One by one, none of them gave him peace.
“Grandpa, can you get something for me,” Ying Tianlv coughed a few times, “it’s in the pocket of my suit jacket.”
Master Zhong huffed coldly but still stepped forward.
He unfolded Ying Tianlv’s suit that was set aside and felt a brocade bag in the pocket.
Master Zhong asked with curiosity, “What’s this?”
“It’s the amulet I obtained from the Feng Shui Alliance last time,” Ying Tianlv said, “Toss it here, I can’t move this hand.”
Master Zhong gave him a glance and threw the brocade bag over, “Such a young age and quite superstitious.”
Ying Tianlv coughed again, rather helpless, “Aren’t you quite superstitious as well?”
“Eh, that’s where you and I differ,” Old Master Zhong said proudly, “I only believe in my granddaughter; who knows what kind of frauds and fortunetellers you’ve bumped into.”
Upon mentioning Ying Zijin, Ying Tianlv perked up, “Has Zijin come over?”
“She was on her way here from school,” Old Master Zhong shook his phone, “But seeing that you didn’t have any serious issues, and could still argue with me, I told her to go back.”
Ying Tianlv: “…”
Dear grandpa.
He closed his eyes, too angry to do anything but try to sleep.
**
Outside the hospital.
Ying Zijin had actually arrived, but she indeed did not go in, choosing instead to sit down in a café across the street.
Fu Yunshen gave her a glance.
Then, lifting his hand, his slender, jade-like fingers touched her wrist, and his gaze deepened slightly, “You’re not hurt?”
“I’m alright,” Ying Zijin ordered a tiramisu, calmly saying, “Don’t worry, nothing is wrong with me physically, and I’m not frail.”
After all, Ying Tianlv was an ordinary person, and his juncture of fate wasn’t a deathly one like Shang Yaozhi’s.
And nothing like Di Wu Yue’s, which involved his life pattern, a short life.
But, logically, saving a close blood relative should have injured her more.
Aside from her divine calculation ability being sealed for a month, there were no other consequences.
She had prepared herself for a certain amount of physical distress.
Ying Zijin’s eyelashes lowered, and she fell into silence.
After testing her pulse, Fu Yunshen’s fingers finally let go, “That’s good.”
He knew that whether in Hua Country or O Continent, there existed those masters of eccentric abilities.
It’s just that they are called differently in different places.
In Hua Country, such people are known as diviners.

In O Continent, they are called fortune tellers.
Diviners have a history longer than fortune tellers, tracing back to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Although the number of diviners nowadays is decreasing and their abilities are getting weaker, the Di Wu Clan still exists.
Apart from them, there are other descendants from divination families who have voluntarily formed some organizations.
But it’s different in O Continent.
During the witch trials from 1480 to 1780, many fortune tellers were beheaded and displayed publicly, particularly at the end of the 18th century, when not one fortune teller was left.
The so-called witches were just a generic term, and it wasn’t that they truly practiced witchcraft.
This was also one of the prophecies left by diviners at that time.
The fortune tellers that remain in O Continent now came into existence after this catastrophe, though their abilities are nowhere near those of their ancestors.
But whether diviners or fortune tellers, anyone who helps change another’s fate will surely face a corresponding punishment.
“Try to refrain from doing such things in the future,” Fu Yunshen slid a cup of warm milk towards her, “It could harm your health.”
“I’m aware,” Ying Zijin picked up the fork, “I’m not a savior, I don’t save just anyone.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyebrows lifted slightly as his voice slowed, “Hmm, just save me, and ferry me across too.”
Ying Zijin’s hand paused, and she glanced at him, “Don’t daydream.”
After finishing her meal, she yawned.
Fu Yunshen looked up, “Tired?”
“Yeah,” Ying Zijin pulled out a blanket from her bag and covered herself, “I’ll rest for a while.”
Even though she was not seriously harmed, she felt quite drained.
After she fell asleep, Yun Shan quietly walked into the booth.
Fu Yunshen asked flatly, “Found out everything?”
“All clear, young master. You wouldn’t know without asking,” Yun Shan lowered his voice, “This Ying Yuexuan turns out to be an illegitimate child.”
