Chapter 54: Still Shaken

Xiao Yufan suddenly waking up caused Yu Yihan, who was closest to him, to frown in confusion, but instinctively, she slammed on the brakes…

“Bang…”

A loud noise came from the front. The shocked group almost simultaneously shifted their gaze forward…

Through the windshield, the four saw a car crash straight into a pole by the roadside, no more than five steps away from them!

“Hiss…” Witnessing this scene, even Xiao Yufan, with his usual composure, couldn’t help but suck in a breath. If not for Yu Yihan’s timely braking, that car would have hit them instead of the pole!

Yu Yihan turned her gaze toward Xiao Yufan. If it weren’t for his sudden exclamation moments ago, why would she have stopped the car? Could it be that Xiao Yufan had foreseen what was about to happen, or was it just a coincidence? This seemed too coincidental…

“Boss Fan, I never thought you had the ability to foresee the future! If it weren’t for you, today I really might have lost my life here!”

Lin Pingle also recovered from his shock. His eyes showed a hint of disbelief. Indeed, had it not been for Xiao Yufan’s actions just now, they wouldn’t have escaped unscathed—there could have been serious consequences.

Xiao Yufan smiled and shook his head. He didn’t know how to explain the many scenes that had flashed before his eyes moments ago. Could it really be a premonition? But why hadn’t he had such an ability before? Or was it just a coincidence?

The mystical arts themselves are supernatural. Whether it’s feng shui or fortune-telling, they involve interpreting and altering fate. Therefore, those skilled in mysticism usually have an acute intuition about special occurrences. However, the idea of predicting the future still seemed too ethereal.

“This probably isn’t just a random traffic accident…” Staring at the deformed car emitting white smoke, Xiao Yufan calmed down. He had a feeling this was a deliberate act.

After Xiao Yufan’s reminder, Yu Yihan first looked stunned, then her previously relaxed brows furrowed again. Driven by a woman’s sixth sense, she also felt that something about the entire incident was quite strange. Clearly, that car had sped straight toward their vehicle…

“Let’s go. There’s nothing more for us to do here.”

Seeing the police cars quickly arriving at the scene, Xiao Yufan gave Yu Yihan a slight signal, and the car started moving again. Their originally relaxed mood had been somewhat dampened by this unexpected accident.

Continuing toward their destination, Xiao Yufan was wide awake now, sitting in the front passenger seat lost in thought, while Xiao Ai and Lin Pingle chatted noisily in the back seat, as if the recent incident hadn’t left the slightest shadow on them.

“I should probably ask my master about this. If I really can foresee the future, life would be amazing…”

Still thinking about the images flashing before his eyes earlier, after much consideration, he decided he should make time to ask his master why he had suddenly developed this ability.

Was it just a sixth sense? But even a sixth sense shouldn’t be this vivid! Xiao Yufan felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t help but think about his 25th birthday not long ago—could it have something to do with that?

“Boss, there’s something I’ve been really curious about. Can you explain it to me?”

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Yufan gave up trying to think and shifted his attention away from the earlier incident.

“What is it…”

“It’s about you and Hu Yingluo. What exactly is your relationship? You two seem quite familiar with each other, yet there’s clearly some kind of restraint between you. I can’t quite put it into words…”

Xiao Yufan had always been curious about the relationship between Yu Yihan and Hu Yingluo. He remembered when he had asked Hu Yingluo for help before, she had shown some emotional reaction when he mentioned Yu Yihan. After the events at the birthday party, he understood that even if there wasn’t some major conflict between the two, there must be a deep connection.

“Then first tell me, what’s your relationship with her? Why did you invite her to your birthday party?”

“She’s a colleague of Ma Teng’s. We just met by chance…” Xiao Yufan knew Yu Yihan would ask this, so he responded without hesitation.

“Colleagues, huh?” Yu Yihan gave a strange smile, slightly curling her lips. It was unclear what she was thinking. Then, she began to speak up…
