Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 212 - 212 212 Truly Delicious

?Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Truly Delicious Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Truly Delicious Ji Jiayi felt a chill down his spine at this moment, drenched in cold sweat.

This was just too risky.

He handed over the black ash he had scraped together to a few people, “This talisman might have really saved me.”

“What? Dude, are you freaking out?”

“Or are you still drunk?”

Since when could a talisman stop bullets.

They definitely didn’t believe it.

Previously, Ji Jiayi wouldn’t have believed it either, but the sensation he just experienced was so distinct that he couldn’t ignore it.

“Really, when the bullet hit me, I felt a force rebounding, and then the talisman in my pocket heated up and turned into ash.”

“And then the bullet didn’t hurt me.”

Seeing him so earnestly convincing, everyone started to harbor some doubts.

Someone suggested, “Let’s call over the weapons and case-solving experts, then we’ll know if this talisman really had something to do with it.”

Ji Jiayi nodded, “Okay!”

He and the others made some phone calls and stood waiting there.

Of course, they were positive there were no snipers around anymore; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so foolish as to stand around like sitting ducks.

The bodyguards didn’t catch anyone, but they found the place where the offender had been hiding.

Soon, the weapons and forensic experts arrived.

After some analysis and investigation, both parties confirmed the bullet was solid and could easily be fatal.

The perpetrator was a sniper, hence shooting Ji Jiayi in the shoulder and leg consecutively, intending not to kill him but merely injure him.

Ji Family was almost parallel in standing to the Lu Family, holding significant influence and power on its own.

Thus, within an hour, they traced the origin of the gun.

They also tracked down the foreign sniper, originating from a European mafia.

They captured the sniper extremely swiftly.

Following that line of inquiry, they soon unravelled the mastermind behind the scene.

The current head of the Ji Family, Ji Jiayi’s father, even contacted the attacker.

That’s how they uncovered the cause of the attack on his son, all resulting from romantic indiscretions.

This revelation particularly infuriated Old Sir Ji and Mr. Ji, to the extent they almost lashed out at Ji Jiayi.

Ji Jiayi hadn’t expected the situation to be like this at all.

He had been conspiratorially suspecting if it was Luo Ning who had arranged this.

Yet, it seemed implausible; just to prove her talisman was effective, she would hire a sniper against him? Unlikely for a celebrity.

Now, hearing this outcome, he was angry but also relieved.

It was good that it wasn’t Luo Ning’s doing.

Then came the anger and disgust; while he was putting another man in a cuckold’s position, that man did the same to him.

After all, he would never have been involved with that woman if he knew about her wealthy backer.

Though a playboy, he still had his own principles.

Following negotiations by the Ji Family, and with undeniable evidence against the sniper, the mastermind was forced to apologize, then compensated with a sum of money, as well as a batch of newly developed weapons.

It couldn’t be helped, Old Sir Ji was a man whose stamp could cause tremors.

Huaxia was now a powerful nation, and if it really pursued and retaliated, that person, even with his background and influence, wouldn’t stand a chance.

Because of this, they only wanted to take one of Ji Jiayi’s hands and one of his legs, but they didn’t dare to take his life.

If it were someone else, they would have easily lost their life.

That person probably hadn’t expected Ji Jiayi to come out unscathed, or for the Ji Family to react so quickly and capture the sniper on a boat smuggling him out of the country, leaving behind evidence.

Otherwise, he would not have compromised so quickly.

At this moment, Ji Jiayi and a few others were sitting in the detective agency’s office.

After hearing the conclusions of the weapons expert and what the Ji Family had investigated, everyone was dumbfounded.

Yue Xiao swallowed hard and asked the dazed Ji Jiayi, “Ji Er, looking at it this way, it seems that you escaping unharmed this time was really due to the talisman’s effect.”

Another person said, “According to the investigation, the sniper acted on a whim, seeing us leave the bar so late and thinking it was a rare opportunity, which is why he took action.”

“This means that Luo Ning couldn’t have possibly known about this in advance, and it might really be something she calculated.”

At this point, Ji Jiayi had to believe it, “Yeah, damn, it really is miraculous.”

He couldn’t help but feel lucky that he had stuffed the talisman into his pocket to deal with Luo Ning earlier and forgot to take it out and throw it away, which ended up saving him.

The sniper’s angle was very tricky; if he had been shot in the shoulder and leg, his injuries would have been severe, and it would have taken a long time to recover.

It might have even had a significant impact on the flexibility of his limbs in the future.

“Ji Er, why don’t you make a call to confirm it?”

Yue Xiao coughed and suggested, “And ask if there are any more talismans available, I still can’t believe that a piece of paper could have such an effect.”

The others agreed and urged Ji Jiayi to make the call.

Unable to resist, Ji Jiayi took out his phone and called Luo Ning again.

It was now just past six in the morning, and Luo Ning had just finished her morning exercise.

Seeing the call, she answered while making breakfast in the kitchen, “Being able to call me now, looks like you’re okay.”

Hearing this, Ji Jiayi choked, “You calculated that too?”

“Mostly,” Luo Ning cracked an egg and started frying it, “So buying half a life for five million is quite a bargain, isn’t it?”

Ji Jiayi still found it hard to believe, “The talisman saved me, for real?”

Luo Ning replied irritably, “What else did you think?”

Ji Jiayi tentatively asked, “Did you know I was going to be shot?”

Of course, Luo Ning wouldn’t admit it, “No clue! I just saw that you were doomed to suffer a bloodshed event tonight, something like being attacked.”

“I thought you might just get beaten up or stabbed a few times, but a gunshot, huh! Seems like the people you’ve messed with are even more serious than I guessed,” she said pretending to be surprised.

Ji Jiayi: “…” This woman really looked down on him. Did she think he would be so easily beaten up or stabbed?

“I have to say, your talisman is impressive, even stopping bullets,” he probed further.

This incident had completely shattered his understanding and could not be explained by science.

Luo Ning smiled, “I told you it’s an amulet, it can block anything, even if you get hit by a car and flung a hundred meters, you would still be fine.”

She mocked, “You didn’t believe it at first, right? Now do you think my talismanic incense is fragrant?”

Ji Jiayi, for once not putting on an act, admitted honestly, “Right, all I can say now is, it’s really fragrant!”

If the talisman truly had such effects, then it was absolutely irresistible.

The others felt the same, having truly converted from disbelief to finding it fragrant.

Luo Ning said, “I’m making breakfast now, so I won’t talk much longer.”

Seeing his friends signaling him continuously, Ji Jiayi couldn’t help but ask, “Wait, don’t hang up yet. Uh, are you still selling those amulets?”
