On her way home, she comes across an injured stray cat named Haibao and takes it in. From then on, she gains mysterious supernatural abilities, including foreknowledge and the ability to see crime scenes.
Yi Jieqing calls out to the man in the car, "Thunder above, misfortune below. A bird trapped in a cage. If you don't show restraint, disaster will strike!"
"Miss, you look frail and unwell yourself. You should go to the hospital and get proper treatment. If it's inconvenient, I can take you there."
The man rests two long, finely boned fingers on the steering wheel. His handsome face is full of derision.
"Don't tell me you don't believe me!"
The tires roll over the wet road, splashing droplets all over Yi Jieqing.
"I only told you because you're handsome..." The black SUV disappears into the rainy haze, while Yi Jieqing stands by the roadside, still holding the kitten and staring after it.
