Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, Li Han remained silent on the other end of the phone for a long ti.
Wang Chao understood imdiately when his mother didn't respond. He said in a deep voice, "Mom, did the fortune teller tell you sothing else?"
"For example, did he say when I will have children?"
"How did you know?" Li Han's voice was filled with astonishnt.
I knew it!
Wang Chao massaged his forehead with his hand, his face turning dark. "Was it that blind man, Chen, near the Temple of the Heavenly Empress?"
"How do you know?" Li Han's voice sounded even more surprised.
Wang Chao's face turned even darker.
Just as expected!
His mother may be fine in many aspects, but she's particularly superstitious. Whenever she encounters any difficulties in life, she thinks there might be so dirty stuff causing trouble and goes to pray to the gods, seeking their blessings.
That in itself is tolerable, at most just escaping from reality and finding spiritual solace.
However, after every prayer, Li Han would consult fortune tellers.
Many fortune tellers are fraudulent swindlers who know nothing but are skilled at reading people's expressions and using persuasive language to deceive the elderly.
Especially that blind man, Chen, near the Temple of the Heavenly Empress. He always wears sunglasses, pretending to be blind, but he's not blind at all. His ability to analyze and perceive is strong, and he's skilled at speaking and manipulating words. He often says pleasant things that make the old ladies feel ecstatic.
Moreover, Chen's words are quite logical, and he always leaves room for interpretation in his speech. Even if his previous predictions didn't co true, he can still find a way to justify himself, making many people believe him.
It's pure deception!
Unfortunately, there are many people who are dissatisfied with their lives, co to pray to the gods, and attempt to change their fate. They fall for this trick!
Those with strong desires, after being hoodwinked by him, also fall for the deception, believing it to be true.
Additionally, Chen is adept at publicity and often brings people to promote his accuracy, which has led many people to trust him.
In the old city area, many people refer to him as the "Iron-mouthed Deity Chen"!
And Li Han fell for his trick!
Wang Chao helplessly said, "Mom, Chen is a fraud. Don't casually go to him next ti."
Li Han's expression changed as she imdiately rebuked, "Wang Chao, you must not talk nonsense. Master Chen is very accurate. He said that you will have a child in these few days."
"At the latest, next year, you will have a son."
Wang Chao: "..."
It seems that Li Han went to the Temple of the Heavenly Empress for a marriage fortune, and she had good luck, receiving a highly positive fortune. Chen took advantage of this and uttered so nice things to deceive Li Han into spending money.
If I guess correctly, Chen, the blind man, probably told Li Han that he's about to get married and will soon have twins, indicating that she will have grandchildren soon.
Then, Chen's tone changed, saying that there might be so difficulties that need to be resolved, and he asked Li Han to spend money to help him solve them.
Wang Chao imdiately voiced his thoughts and asked Li Han if that's what happened.
Li Han was stunned on the other end of the phone, "How did you know?"
When she received the fortune stick reading and sought Chen's help to interpret it, the results were exactly as Wang Chao had described. Chen praised her and then ntioned the difficulties, asking her to spend money.
In order to give her son a better life, she ended up spending over 10,000 yuan.
Later, after Chen had done so things, he claid that the matter was resolved and asked her to co back and cook a soup with turtle and chicken testicles to nourish Wang Chao, assuring her that everything would be fine.
She had never told Wang Chao about this incident, so how did he figure it out?
"Mom, you were really deceived. Chen is just manipulating you to spend money."
Wang Chao's face turned dark as he said, "Taoist practitioners with real abilities often terror revealing too much and experiencing karmic retribution. They rarely do fortune-telling."
"Powerful Taoist practitioners are even harder to find, as they won't easily offer their services."
"Soone like Chen, who does fortune-telling and guides people every day, revealing secrets, if everything he says is true, he would have already faced retribution and died!"
"Mom, next ti you desire to have a fortune-telling, co to . I've studied a bit of Zhouyi, and I'm much better than Chen."
"And do not worry about my matters or make random arrangents."
"That's it for now. We'll talk later. Hang up!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly, his face gloomy, feeling an impulse to overturn Chen's stall.
However, upon careful consideration, he dismissed the idea.
Although Chen was deceiving people for money, his presence also brought comfort to many people who were experiencing difficulties in life. That kind of deception could be seen as bringing hope to those individuals.
In all these years, Wang Chao had never heard of Chen harming anyone.
Clearly, Chen had a certain code of conduct. He did not act recklessly but rather adjusted his approach based on the person's financial status, deceiving more from the wealthy and less from those who were poor. He never caused people to lose everything they had.
"My mother is really making random arrangents. How could she have the audacity to ask about Liu Yifei and Shen Bing's birthdates?"
"How did Liu Yifei even give her the birthdates?"
"It's really inexplicable!"
Wang Chao put away his phone, feeling emotional. He glanced at the ti and imdiately gathered all the security guards to continue with military training.
After completing the training, Wang Chao distributed money to all the security guards. When the guards received the money, they're delighted and beca even more dedicated to their work.
Wang Chao called Chen Yong to his office, handed him a cup of tea, and asked, "Chen Yong, how is the situation at ho? Has it improved at all?"
Chen Yong looked at Wang Chao with imnse gratitude and said, "Brother Wang, I really appreciate what you've done. If it weren't for you, I would not know what to do."
"With your prescription and the money, my wife is doing much better. The doctor uttered her condition is improving, like a dical miracle. Maybe she won't need a bone marrow transplant after all and can recover."
"I know it's all thanks to the miraculous influence of your prescription."
He looked at Wang Chao with even more admiration and reverence.
This person before him was incredibly powerful, fierce in fights, incredibly strong, and had exceptional dical skills. He was like an insurmountable mountain.
He suddenly felt that his past self was foolish. How could he have confronted Wang Chao, a master like him, for He Xingdong?
He was truly foolish!
"As long as everything is fine, go to work. And if you need more money, just ask. We're all family, no need to be polite," Wang Chao smiled.
Chen Yong's gratitude deepened, he nodded, bowed to Wang Chao, and left the security office to start his patrol.
At that mont, Shen Bing called. Her voice was cold and clear. "Training is over, right?"
"We just finished training. What's the matter?" Wang Chao asked.
"Go take a shower, change your clothes, and accompany on a business trip," Shen Bing said.
"What? Wasn't it supposed to be a few days later? Did the schedule change?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
"We're not going out of the province. We're going to conduct a project inspection in Conghua District. We're leaving in an hour. Get ready," Shen Bing said.
After that, she hung up the phone.
