Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

"First, tell me, what happened to your master that led to his current condition? His body is too weak right now to withstand my methods. He needs time to recuperate first.

If we can figure out what exactly happened to him before, I can be more cautious when I proceed, and he will suffer less."

Yun Ran's methods of saving people have always been straightforward and blunt. Those she saves survive, but the process is far from relaxing.

When Old Zhou heard this, he was taken aback. Their master had never suffered this much since birth, and now that there was hope, naturally, the less suffering, the better.

Soon, Yun Ran learned the details of the incident from Old Zhou's account, and her expression turned into that of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"You mean, he was invited to a new technology demonstration, got unlucky, and got hit by fragments from a malfunctioning machine, and that's how he ended up like this?"

Old Zhou also found this bizarre, but it was indeed the case.

There were many people around the master at that time, including more than a dozen bodyguards, yet when the machine malfunctioned, the debris inexplicably headed straight for the master.

The Wang Family immediately controlled the scene, retrieved the surveillance footage, and thoroughly investigated everyone's ancestry present at the scene.

If he wasn't one of the leaders of the Wang Family's covert forces, aware of the Wang Family's investigative capabilities, he wouldn't believe such an absurd incident could happen.

It was indeed an accident, albeit a coincidence so remarkable it seemed excessive.

"What was this new technology?"

If this question were asked to anyone else, you'd definitely get no answer because this technology is top secret, impossible to leak out.

But since the Wang Family happens to be one of the main sponsors of this technology, Old Zhou indeed knew.

"It seems to be a device for capturing special particles. Someone suggested that this world has people from alternate time-spaces..."

The remaining technical terms were beyond Yun Ran's understanding, but she grasped these people's forward-thinking and their daring spirit.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people might hear about this technology, get curious and gossip a bit, then return to their usual lives.

After all, what humans cannot understand or what science cannot explain is ultimately attributed to mysticism.

Old Zhou continued, "In the end, because of this accident, the funding supported by the Wang Family was suspended, and the technology shelved."

Noticing Yun Ran's calm demeanor, Old Zhou became curious: "Lady Yun, don't you think this is pure fantasy?"

"The progress of technology is precisely the result of one fantasy after another being proven."

What Yun Ran didn't say was that these ideas were surprisingly close to the truth.

Even though she didn't know how the Ginsengfruit System brought her into this world at the beginning.

However, this suffices to indicate that, within the civilization of the High-class World, entering a book is not an outlandish idea.

Based on what she previously discovered about Wang Mian's condition and now knowing how he got injured.

It can be basically determined that, at the time, this so-called new technology might have indeed captured others who entered this book.

Just a small problem occurred, since Wang Mian wasn't dead yet, resulting in the mutual fusion and repulsion of two divine souls.

When she first entered this minor world, the original owner was truly dead, allowing her to wake up normally.

"Is there anything else Lady Yun wants to know?"

"No, I've done all I can for now; we'll have to wait until the Third Young Master recovers a bit."

Old Zhou knew well that some things couldn't be rushed, so he nodded.

"I'll arrange accommodations for Lady Yun immediately..."

Yun Ran waved her hand, "No need, I'm not used to staying in places with so many rules. The Capital City is enormous; surely there's somewhere for me to stay. Besides, I have something to attend to."

Old Zhou naturally wanted Yun Ran to stay, so she could look after their master conveniently.

However, he heard the commotion when Yun Ran dealt with the shadows before. If he tried to force Yun Ran to stay, it would probably be a losing proposition.

"In that case, I'll make arrangements to ensure no one dares trouble Lady Yun during your stay in the Capital City."

Yun Ran didn't refuse this time. There were too many influential people in the Capital City; any card might hit one or two people.

She wasn't afraid of these people, but entangling with them would be a troublesome affair.

"Alright, then thank you."

After Old Zhou sent Yun Ran out of the courtyard, Wang Qianyu was waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Yun Ran come out, he quickly brought over the Ginsengfruit, which had been left at the gazebo outside earlier.

Though he said nothing, his face was full of nervous anticipation of the outcome.

Yun Ran's success or failure directly impacted his future prospects.

Yun Ran wasn't someone who enjoyed creating suspense. Seeing Wang Qianyu's demeanor, she spoke directly, "I can save him!"

The tension visibly relaxed on Wang Qianyu's face, gradually giving way to a smile.

"I knew it, Lady Yun's abilities are beyond doubt."

Thinking of this, Wang Qianyu immediately restrained himself; he belonged to the Third Uncle's faction and naturally hoped for his recovery.

Yet, within the Wang Family, there had never been a lack of infighting. Even when the Third Uncle was well, many were secretly coveting the position of the powerholder.

Let alone now that the Third Uncle seemed on the brink of demise, many were just waiting for him to kick the bucket to legitimately take over his position.

Now that Yun Ran could save the Third Uncle, who knew if there might be others who would try to make trouble afterwards?

The garden where the Third Uncle resided was beyond their reach, but targeting Yun Ran, who could save him, wasn't out of the question.

Knowing Yun Ran planned to leave the Wang Family Mansion for a few days before returning, Wang Qianyu's expression immediately switched to worry.

Words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down, fearing to provoke Yun Ran's displeasure.

If someone had told him in the past that he, the Wang Family's Ninth Young Master, would one day be wary of a young girl's mood, he would have thought that person was insane.

"Let me escort Lady Yun out then."

Wang Qianyu immediately went forward, personally pushing the large box containing the Ginsengfruit, following closely behind Yun Ran.

However, just as the car escorting Yun Ran out of the mountain reached halfway, it was stopped.

Seeing those blocking the road, Wang Qianyu's face instantly changed.

An elderly man dressed similarly to Old Zhou approached the car, seemed to bow respectfully, yet his actions were full of perfunctory intent.

"Ninth Young Master, the Old Madam wishes to meet the honored guest."

Wang Qianyu was filled with denial from head to toe, yet he dared not refuse directly and had to come up with an excuse: "We have urgent matters..."
