The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 102

Yu Yuan sighed. "I suggest you call the police as soon as possible. Your upstairs neighbor is very likely in trouble."

With the upstairs apartment now a haunted house, the value of the downstairs property would naturally decrease. That's why the wealth palace at the tip of the nose had turned gray.

"Re... report to the police?"

Magpie and her sister-in-law both froze for a moment, and the livestream viewers were stunned too.

[Is it really that serious? To the point of calling the police?]

[Never thought I'd see a day on Master Yu's livestream where someone calls the cops, lol.]

[Honestly, this viewer should just report it. Master Yu has never been wrong all this time. Let the cops check it out—it might even give some peace of mind.]

[Agree with above. Hopefully the neighbors are fine, but better safe than sorry.]

[Yeah, call the police!]

...

The sister-in-law glanced at Magpie and hesitated a bit.

Just like Master Yu said earlier, if something really happened upstairs, or if someone died at home, the property value downstairs would definitely take a hit. And their family even got haunted in the house; if they ever tried to sell, the price would surely drop again and again.

That was a big loss, especially when real estate was the family's biggest asset, so the impact on the family wasn't small.

But that thought flashed through her mind only for a moment before another idea pushed it down instantly.

If something did happen upstairs, it was better to be upfront about it now rather than hiding it and having more problems later.

"Nannan, wait a moment, I'm calling the police."

"Sister..."

Magpie's eyes followed her sister-in-law as she stood and walked to the side, her lips moving but she didn't say anything out loud.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived after receiving the report.

When the reporter said a fortune-teller predicted something happened upstairs, the young officer was speechless.

"A fortune-teller?" He had dark circles under his eyes, looking tired and a bit irritable. "Do you guys know how busy the police are every day? You're disturbing public order, you know that? This could lead to detention if it's serious!"

"No, no," Magpie nervously fiddled with her sleeve, unsure how to explain to the young cop. "Officer, what I said is true! This isn't a false report!"

"You..." Suddenly her eyes lit up, voice rising, "You know Yu Yuan?"

"What's Yu Yuan got to do with anything? Even if Strawberry Bobo's here today, you're still wrong!" The young officer wiped sweat from his forehead, his tone hardening as they showed no signs of regret. "Old folks being superstitious is one thing, but young people joining in too..."

[LOL... Strawberry Bobo!]

[Haha, even young people are superstitious now? Poor cop's speechless.]

[The cop looks so tired with those dark circles, but also kinda hot...]

[But this young cop's attitude is really serious. If I were Magpie, I probably couldn't even talk straight.]

Officer Xiao Liu wiped his forehead, palm soaked in sweat.

The station had been crazy busy these days; he hadn't sat down since last night and had only eaten one meal. Seeing these two report something like this almost made him lose his temper.

"Superstition is ignorance and nonsense. How can we trust fortune-tellers..."

"What fortune-teller?"

Just then, an older cop came out from the elevator. The veteran officer saw Magpie's and her sister-in-law's expressions, then glanced at the scowling Xiao Liu, and knew his apprentice was up to his old tricks again.

"Ladies, don't be scared." The old cop pushed Xiao Liu aside gently, his voice calm. "I got the report. You said something happened to your upstairs neighbor?"

"Master," Xiao Liu, pushed aside, felt a bit embarrassed but kept his cold tone, "They're reporting nonsense based on some fortune-teller's talk, you..."

"Enough!" The old cop snapped, "How many times have I told you, in our line of work you have to be patient and control your bad temper!" He shot his apprentice a glare, then quickly switched to a friendly smile as he looked at the two women. "Could you please tell me the details?"

The sister-in-law saw Magpie scared like a quail, so she stepped forward and explained about the Yu Yuan livestream connection, leaving out the part about Magpie and her daughter encountering ghosts. "My sister's upstairs neighbor is an opera singer. We're not very close, but we often greet each other in the elevator."

"But..." Sister-in-law thought about not seeing the upstairs neighbor these past few days and felt a strange unease. "She usually likes to go hiking on Saturday mornings. We often see her in the elevator then, but this Saturday, we didn't."

The old officer understood, "The neighbor you mean is the one upstairs from your sister's apartment, not in your building?"

"Right, it's a different building in the same complex," sister-in-law pointed in a direction, "That building over there."

Xiao Liu looked that way but saw only a white wall lightly covered in dust.

"...Master, the station still has work to do, maybe we shouldn't waste time here?"

The old officer ignored him and asked, "Can you tell me the name of the fortune-teller who helped you?"

Magpie glanced at Xiao Liu, whose expression was sour, and pursed her lips. "It's a really popular metaphysics streamer lately, called Yu Yuan."

Hearing "Yu Yuan," the old officer was momentarily stunned, then his eyes darkened. "Let's go check it out."

"Okay." Magpie and sister-in-law took their phones and led the way.

Xiao Liu looked at his master speechlessly, feeling that working in the system was really tough.

"Master... hey, master..." He quickened his pace to catch up and walked beside the old cop, whispering, "Master, we're really just messing around with them. The station's got a bunch of things waiting for us..."

The old officer stared straight ahead without blinking, then glanced at him and noticed the phones in the two women's hands. In a low voice just for him, "Do you remember that human trafficking gang we caught last time in Shancheng?"

"Yeah," Xiao Liu replied without hesitation, "The police across provinces have been after them for a long time. It's rare to finally catch them, and Shancheng's really proud of it."

As he spoke, his tone turned a bit sour, "I heard a metaphysics celebrity exposed it? The whole thing blew up online. The higher-ups even praised the Shancheng police several times."
