My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 463 - 460: Robbed While in Distress

Gao Fei was stunned, staring at the fortune teller with a puzzled face, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

"You have the nerve to ask!" The fortune teller gritted his teeth and cursed, "You're truly too sly! It's utterly dangerous!"

Gao Fei's expression darkened, "Explain yourself, how am I being sly?"

"Bai Daqing is the lord of Chaotic Wind City, he almost killed the son of the Eastern Spirit King, and the Eastern Spirit King was furious, he directly ordered the execution of Bai Daqing!" The fortune teller huffed, "You deliberately hid this information! What are your intentions! Are you trying to get me killed?"

"I didn't hide anything," Gao Fei said.

"Didn't hide anything? Then why didn't you say so last night!"

"You didn't ask!"

"If I don't ask, you won't tell?"

"Yeah, if you don't ask, why should I tell?"

"You..." The fortune teller was nearly angered to death. What kind of person was this, how shameless.

Gao Fei took a couple of steps forward, smiling, "Cool down! Don't get mad and hurt yourself!" Having said that, Gao Fei placed a bag of Spirit Stones on the table, "My bad for not clarifying things last night... consider this bag of Spirit Stones as my apology."

The fortune teller glanced at the Spirit Stones, feeling his anger subside a bit.

"Old sir, did you find your cousin? What did he say?" Gao Fei asked.

"What did he say?" The fortune teller let out a cold laugh, "My cousin almost cursed me out, Bai Daqing has offended the Eastern Spirit King and is about to be executed. Even if my cousin had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to rescue Bai Daqing!" With that, the fortune teller added, "Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save Bai Daqing."

"Really no way out?" Gao Fei inquired persistently.

"Go find someone else, I can't do it," the fortune teller retorted with a mouth twist.

"Then... can I meet Bai Daqing?" Gao Fei asked, "Not to hide anything from you, Bai Daqing has been good to me, he's in trouble now, and I must help him."

"Wow." The fortune teller chuckled lightly, "I didn't see it coming. You do have a conscience."

Gao Fei sighed, "I'm a person who distinguishes clearly between kindness and enmity. Whoever is kind to me, I repay them tenfold, a hundredfold. Anyone who schemes against me, I'll strike back a hundred times, a thousand times."

"There aren't many people as conscientious as you anymore."

"Old sir, please help me out."

"..." The fortune teller pondered for a moment, then said, "It's impossible to rescue Bai Daqing, but... arranging a meeting for you to see him, that should still be possible..."

"Ah!" Gao Fei's eyes lit up, "Old sir, I really appreciate it, thank you so much."

"I haven't finished talking yet," the fortune teller gestured with his hand, "You should know, Bai Daqing is a wanted criminal, the guards are certainly very strict, meeting him won't be an easy task..."

"I won't let you help me for nothing," Gao Fei said, taking out five bags of Spirit Stones from his storage ring, "This is the deposit, after I've met Bai Daqing, I'll give you another five bags of Spirit Stones."

"That's it?" The fortune teller curled his lip, "Not enough."

"Not enough?" Gao Fei didn't expect the fortune teller to be so greedy. He had offered nearly a million pieces of Spirit Stones, and the fortune teller still found it too little, "Please name your price, old sir."

The fortune teller stretched out one finger, waggling it in front of Gao Fei's face, "A firm price, ten million pieces of Spirit Stones, and the payment must be settled upfront."

"What? Ten million pieces of Spirit Stones?" Gao Fei's face twitched severely, "That's too much..."

"I'm taking a huge risk to help you, shouldn't I ask for more Spirit Stones?" the fortune teller argued righteously, "If things go south, I could lose my head." At this, the fortune teller added, "To tell you the truth, if I weren't in need of Spirit Stones recently, I wouldn't bother helping you."

Gao Fei cursed inwardly: Son of a bitch! You're clearly taking advantage of the situation! Asking for ten million Spirit Stones just like that, why don't you just rob me!

"Can't it be a bit less?"

"No."

"I don't have that many spirit stones on me."

"That's simple, use something else as collateral."

"...Alright, I agree. I'll pay half upfront, and the other half..."

"No! You have to pay it all at once."

"That doesn't seem right. If I give you all the spirit stones, what if you run away?"

"If you don't trust me, then don't ask for my help." The fortune-telling old man's attitude was very tough.

Gao Fei was so angry his teeth itched. He really wanted to rush forward and beat the fortune-teller severely, but in the end, he held back. There was no other way; when asking for help, one had to bow their head.

"Fine! I'll trust you this once! If you play me... I'll risk my life to settle the score with you." Gao Fei took out all the spirit stones he had. Not enough! He then took out some spiritual medicine and herbs: "Is that about right?"

"You kid turned out to be quite rich." The fortune-telling old man deftly accepted the spirit stones and the spiritual medicine and herbs: "Alright, go back and wait for news."

"How long do I have to wait?"

"These things can't be rushed..."

"Bai Daqing is to be executed soon..."

"Don't worry. Before he is executed, I'll definitely arrange for you to meet him."

"...I hope you keep your word."

At this point, Gao Fei could only choose to trust the fortune-telling old man. After leaving his contact information, Gao Fei turned and left.

"Ha ha..." The fortune-telling old man laughed heartily: "I'm rich! I'm rich! From now on, I won't have to run a stall and look at people's faces anymore! Today is truly a good day!"

Pack up!

Time to go!

The fortune-telling old man packed up his stall, placed his hands behind his back, looked up, hummed a little tune, and walked away with a swagger.

...

Three days flashed by.

The fortune-telling old man had not contacted Gao Fei.

"Why is there still no news?" Gao Fei's brows were tightly furrowed: "Could it be that I've been played?"

"My lord." Chen San pushed the door open and came in: "Someone just delivered a letter, it's for you."

"A letter?" Gao Fei's eyebrow raised: "Give it to me!" Gao Fei snatched the letter, tore it open, and his entire demeanor relaxed: "Phew... That fortune-telling old man is still trustworthy! He didn't deceive me!" The letter was from the fortune-telling old man, asking Gao Fei to meet him the next evening.

"My lord? Has the matter been resolved?" Chen San couldn't help asking.

Gao Fei nodded: "Pretty much. If nothing unexpected happens, I should meet City Lord Bai tomorrow night."

"Ah, that's fantastic." Chen San waved his fist: "After so much effort, we are finally seeing the results."

"I hope the meeting with City Lord Bai goes smoothly and there are no more surprises," Gao Fei said softly.

...

The next day, in the evening.

Gao Fei left the inn alone.

An hour later, Gao Fei met the fortune-telling old man.
