The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 171 - Lady Zhong, Please Save Me
Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Lady Zhong, Please Save Me
Late at night, a taxi was driving along a deserted road. This road was indeed remote, not even a streetlight in sight, shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by the taxi’s headlights.
Driving along such a quiet road, the passenger in the back had not spoken a word since getting into the car. The taxi driver, looking at the passenger through the rearview mirror, couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine. He involuntarily stepped on the gas pedal, accelerating, all because he wanted to reach the destination earlier.
For some reason, he felt increasingly anxious, as if something bad was about to happen.
All he wanted now was to finish this ride as quickly as possible, then head straight home. Even though it meant earning less money for the night, at least he could rest easy.
In a place the taxi driver hadn’t noticed, the passenger in the backseat curled his lips into a strange smile, his face so pale it hardly seemed alive, becoming somewhat twisted.
Under the Tongtian Bridge—
Zhong Niangyao set up her stall, playing with her phone, waiting for the destined person to come.

There were many passersby, but only a few sat down in front of Zhong Niangyao. It wasn’t that they didn’t wish to have their fortunes told by Zhong Niangyao, but if they weren’t the destined ones, even if they did sit down, it would be of no use. Because she wouldn’t tell their fortune anyway.
Actually, many people wanted to ask Zhong Niangyao what the criteria were for the destined person.
If Zhong Niangyao knew their thoughts, she would directly tell them. The destined person is one with a matter of life and death; those trivialities had nothing to do with her.
“Lady Zhong, please save me,” a middle-aged man approached Zhong Niangyao’s stall, sat down directly, and pleaded for her help without saying anything else.
Zhong Niangyao shifted her gaze from her phone, looking with interest at the acquaintance in front of her, “Boss Qian, long time no see. How have you been lately?”
This acquaintance was none other than Qian Pengze, who had sold her the Compass before.
From their first meeting, she knew Qian Pengze’s circumstances weren’t coincidental but plagued by something.
She had even warned Qian Pengze that if he couldn’t handle it, he could come to her. Since he hadn’t come, she naturally assumed the matter had been resolved.
Although she had abilities, Zhong Niangyao wasn’t the type of person to be arrogant and think that only she could solve others’ problems.
She understood the saying that for every person, there’s another, and for every sky, another sky.
However, looking at it now, Qian Pengze’s troubles didn’t seem to have been solved! The haggard countenance, the dark circles under his eyes—all indicated that his recent situation hadn’t been good.
“Lady Zhong, you really have to save me!” Qian Zepeng clutched at his hair, his tone full of dejection, “I don’t even know which god I’ve offended to have such misfortune befall me.”
After getting the ten million from Zhong Niangyao, he had immediately sent his wife to the hospital for treatment. As for what Zhong Niangyao had said, he hadn’t taken it too seriously.
Although his wife’s illness was serious, it was a “rich person’s disease,” curable with money and those expensive imported medicines.
After spending most of the money, his wife’s condition had almost improved.
Even though there wasn’t much of the ten million left, seeing his wife grow more spirited each day, he felt it was worth it.
But unexpectedly, recently, his wife’s condition worsened again. Moreover, to make matters worse, even his son met with a car accident and broke his legs; he was still recuperating in the hospital.
He had almost spent all day every day in the hospital, caring for his wife and son. The ten million he got from selling the Compass had almost all gone into the hospital.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but remember Zhong Niangyao’s words. So, he came to Tongtian Bridge to inquire.
Although he hadn’t encountered Zhong Niangyao, he had learned of her prowess through others. He was also more eager to find her to see if he could escape his current predicament.
He had originally planned to try his luck today but didn’t expect to spot Zhong Niangyao sitting behind a stall from afar.
Such a beautiful young woman stood out at this time. He recognized her at a glance—Zhong Niangyao was the girl who had bought his Compass.
As he listened to Qian Pengze recount the events that had unfolded in his family recently, a thoughtful look crossed Zhong Niangyao’s eyes.
“Lady Zhong, I really don’t know what’s wrong with my family.”
After finishing speaking, Qian Pengze sighed deeply, revealing a bitter smile, “If this continues, I’m afraid my family will truly be ruined. You said before that I could come to you. Now, I can only come to you for help.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Niangyao spoke, “Alright, let’s first go to the hospital to have a look, then go to your house to check. Only by finding out where the problem lies can we solve it.”
“Great, great, Lady Zhong, when are you available?”
Qian Pengze naturally wanted Zhong Niangyao to go with him right away, as his family’s situation was really bad. But he also understood that he was the one asking for help and had to accommodate her schedule.
Zhong Niangyao was no fool and could see Qian Pengze’s urgency. She thought about it and then said, “Let’s go now then! I’m not doing anything right now anyway.”
Overjoyed by Zhong Niangyao’s words, Qian Pengze quickly agreed, “Great, great, Lady Zhong, I’ll take you there right now.”
Zhong Niangyao promptly packed up her stall and then followed Qian Pengze away.
Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital. They first visited the ward of Qian Pengze’s wife.
Looking at the patient, who was almost skin and bones, without a trace of color in her face, a deep thought flashed through Zhong Niangyao’s eyes.
She had warned Qian Pengze before because she saw an ominous black aura on him. Now his wife also had such a black aura. It seemed there must be something wrong with their house, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for everyone to be affected.
They still had to visit Qian Pengze’s son to make a final conclusion. However, it was already almost certain.
