One must understand that the fated person works in artifact restoration, and daily interaction with carving knives is unavoidable.
Moreover, they cannot wear thick protective gear, as that would affect finger flexibility. Thin isolation gloves simply cannot block sharp carving knives.
This meant the fated person had decent luck, and worked meticulously, otherwise, their life would have been lost long ago.
And these carving knives were uniformly issued by the unit; their material had absolutely gone through layers of inspection, so such a problem should not have occurred.
The only possibility was that someone tampered with them midway.
This was also why the spirit artifact said it wanted to give the fated person an explanation. The fated person had repaired it, but in doing so, almost lost their life.
In return, what it naturally had to do was to seek justice for the other party.
Originally, it intended to act itself, but now that Yaoyao had stumbled upon this, it naturally and justifiably threw this hot potato out.
The reason was simple: as a spirit artifact, if it harmed a human life, it would inevitably incur karma, and it was uncertain whether its consciousness could be preserved during the human tribulation.
"Touch blood, seal throat... this... this..."
Upon hearing Yaoyao's explanation, the fated person's hair stood on end. She looked incredulously at her "good partner" from work.
Then, after recovering, anger appeared on her face.
"Who... Master, tell me, who is trying to harm me!"
The fated person's voice was trembling. Such a scheme was truly malicious; what normal person would guard against a carving knife?!
Everyone makes mistakes at work occasionally. The perpetrator almost didn't have to do anything but wait for her to make a mistake and then lose her life.
Even an alibi wouldn't be necessary...
At this moment, besides "malicious," the fated person couldn't find any other words to describe it. Her desire to catch the culprit reached its peak, and she looked at the Master with anticipation.
In the fated person's view, since the Master could determine there was a problem with the carving knife, they could definitely also know who the culprit was.
And the Master didn't disappoint her, as the familiar childish voice echoed again.
"Big Sister, this person is far away in the sky but right before your eyes. It's this chubby uncle who came to cause you trouble!"
This soft, childish voice sounded pleasant, but the truth it spoke was like a bomb, making everyone's heads buzz.
Then, gazes unanimously fell upon the man. The fated person's eyes were filled with rage. The latter's face flashed with a visible panic upon seeing this.
The fated person had known the man for some time and understood his nature all too well. His expression undoubtedly proved that the Master was not mistaken.
This damn man actually wanted to kill her!
How could the fated person maintain a pleasant expression? She immediately ripped off her facade and cursed, "Tian Shouyi, you goddamn sexually harassed this old lady, and I, this old lady, let it go because you're old. That's because I have high moral standards."
"You actually took an inch and wanted to take my life? Good, good, didn't you just shout about calling the police? You damn well call them for me then."
"When the police come, let's see who gets arrested first to be shot. I'll beat you to death, you turtle son."
The more the fated person cursed, the more enraged she became. Eventually, she couldn't suppress her emotions. She picked up the wooden mallet from the table, ready to smash the man to death.
The man, Tian Shouyi, never expected this woman to be so crazy. He backed away a few steps in fright, saying in a restrained voice,
"Lin Wanwan, don't you dare slander me with false accusations. You say I harmed you, but then produce the evidence. Without evidence, I will sue you for defamation."
Tian Shouyi had calmed down now. He had just been suddenly exposed and was caught off guard, revealing a flaw.
But now, thinking carefully, he realized he had nothing to fear because he had handled everything cleanly back then. No one would know the problem originated from him.
As long as he denied it to the death, even if they found a problem with the carving knife, what could they do? The crime couldn't be pinned on him.
The latter's "what can you do to me" expression made the fated person's liver-fire surge.
But upon closer thought, she seemed genuinely unable to produce evidence, because from beginning to end, the evidence had only come from the Master.
Although she absolutely believed the Master, in court, one person's testimony alone was not enough.
Thinking of this, the fated person felt terribly nauseous, like she had eaten a dead rat, unable to breathe properly.
Her eyes, filled with unwillingness, looked towards the Master, her plea for help very obvious. However, the Master did not speak, causing her face to gradually turn ashen.
Seeing the fated person getting increasingly distressed, Tian Shouyi grew even more arrogant. He raised his chin imperiously, about to issue an order to arrest someone.
However, the next moment, his smile froze, and he discovered in horror that he seemed... unable to move.
Yaoyao then looked up at the fated person and said with a giggle, "Big Sister, it's okay if we can't find evidence, because we can make this chubby uncle confess himself, just like this."
Yaoyao's lips moved, and nothing happened, but Tian Shouyi couldn't control himself and began to recount the details of his crime.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. This was the first time they had seen a criminal voluntarily confessing.
While they were still bewildered, Yaoyao couldn't help but remind, "Big Sister, remember to record a video as evidence!"
At this, the fated person became flustered. Since her phone was being used for live streaming, she directly ordered the man next to her to tell her his phone's password.
"Oh, oh, oh, the password is three five two, seven eight seven..."
The latter was also frightened by this strangeness and dared not disobey. When the fated person glared, he immediately reported the password honestly.
After that, the fated person finished recording and sent the video to herself, the entire action flowing seamlessly.
Tian Shouyi was completely numb. Seeing the latter's gnashing teeth, he knew he was truly finished this time.
