Chapter 25: Chapter 23: Divine Doctor and Swindler 4 Chapter 25: Chapter 23: Divine Doctor and Swindler 4 Tang Xin sat across from Jing Feng, her complexion hesitant, but she finally asked, “Pardon my boldness, but when we first t at Puzhao Temple, how did you know about … Do you really know how to tell fortunes?”
“Tell fortunes? What fortunes?” Jing Feng frowned slightly as he looked at his wife.
Mr. Tang also stared at Tang Xin in confusion, “Xin’er, what do you an? What fortune-telling?”
“Actually, my first encounter with Doctor Qin was at Puzhao Temple. I went there to pray for a child who had left us, never expecting to et Doctor Qin telling fortunes there. She said that my child would have an accident on this day. Originally I didn’t want to believe her, but unexpectedly, my child did have an accident on this day and even ca close to not making it.”
Thinking back, Tang Xin still felt residual fear but was also grateful for having t Qin Qin.
“This… Doctor Qin.” Jing Feng’s eyes locked onto the calm Qin Qin, asking in disbelief, “You… can tell fortunes too?”
Qin Qin lifted a smile, lightly laughing, “What’s so hard to believe? My main job is a doctor, my side job a swindler.”
Ah! Jing Feng looked at Qin Qin’s jesting words and laughed along.
“I didn’t expect Doctor Qin to actually be able to tell fortunes too! Perhaps Doctor Qin could read my fortune as well.”
“Yes, Doctor Qin, please do a reading for my husband,” Tang Xin chid in eagerly. She had often seen Jing Feng with a furrowed brow lately. He wouldn’t tell her what was wrong, and it worried her.
“Certainly,” Qin Qin replied, looking at Jing Feng. In the next mont, images flashed before her eyes.
In the vision, Jing Feng was fuming in the company because an insider had leaked confidential information about the minimum bid for a land auction, enabling another company to outbid them, resulting in significant losses…
A few minutes later, Qin Qin closed her eyes and then opened them. Tang Xin couldn’t hold back and asked, “How is it?”
“Mr. Jing has been crossed by a petty person recently, haven’t you!”
Upon hearing this, Jing Feng, who had been sowhat casual and skeptical, suddenly widened his eyes, “How… how do you know? Yes, I have indeed been crossed by a petty person lately. There’s been a mole in my company leaking crucial secrets, but I’ve been unable to uncover the traitor.”
“How could you not tell sothing as serious as this?” Tang Xin held Jing Feng’s hand and looked up at him.
Jing Feng gripped Tang Xin’s hand back and shook his head, “How could I possibly tell you such things? You’re pregnant, I can’t let you worry with .”
Tang Xin gripped Jing Feng’s hand tightly and turned to look at Qin Qin, “Doctor Qin, no, Master Qin, can you determine who the leaker is?”
“Xin’er, how could Doctor Qin possibly figure that out? Don’t trouble her with this.” Mr. Tang, though sowhat shocked, felt compelled to speak. He hadn’t expected the girl’s dical skills to be so profound and that she could even tell fortunes. Could she be from so hidden family or was she from the Divine Doctor Sect? But if she were from the Divine Doctor Sect, why would she tell fortunes? Contradictions and puzzlents swirled in Mr. Tang’s mind, but he knew better than to delve too deep. You don’t probe into such people; if you offend their taboos, the loss outweighs the gain.
“Mr. Jing wants to know who it is? I can only tell you that this person is soone you trust the most,” Qin Qin stated blandly.
Upon hearing this, Jing Feng imdiately countered, “Impossible, it can’t be Chen Jie. He has followed for so many years, how could it possibly be him?”
This ti, with company secrets leaked, he had suspected everyone except for Chen Jie, to whom he had even entrusted the investigation of the matter.
“I have already told you, Mr. Jing. You can choose not to believe, but I can tell you more. Your subordinate is currently dining with the boss of the rival company in Elegant Restaurant, in private room number eight. If you send soone now, you might catch them red-handed.”
Jing Feng’s expression darkened; Tang Xin bit her lip hard and promptly took out her cellphone to hand to Jing Feng, “I believe Master Qin. Call Zhang Xi and have him check it out.” Both Zhang Xi and Chen Jie were Jing Feng’s trusted aides, but Chen Jie was more trusted by Jing Feng.
Jing Feng took the cellphone with difficulty and the next mont, he dialed without hesitation, “Zhang Xi, head to Elegant Restaurant’s private room number eight right now.”
After hanging up the phone, Jing Feng stared at Qin Qin, his lips struggling to form words, “Master Qin…”
“Believe it or not, we’ll know soon enough. It’s only a matter of ti, and I can wait. Just be prepared for what you may find,” Qin Qin picked up her teacup again and took a sip, her expression clearly unimpressed, but for the mont, she had no choice but to make do.
Five minutes later, the phone call still hadn’t co through, and the servant who had gone to fetch the dicine returned first.
“Let see the dicine.” Qin Qin took the dicine from the servant’s hand, opened the pouch, and sniffed it, frowning tightly, “The quality of modern dicine is so poor.”
It barely reached half the potency of its predecessors. It seed she needed to plant so dicine in her own space soon; otherwise, if she continued using these dicines, it would significantly diminish her abilities.
“Take it to be decocted.”
Just after Qin Qin spoke, Jing Feng’s phone call ca back. He picked it up in a hurry, and whatever the person on the other line said, Jing Feng’s complexion turned from white to black, and in the end, he angrily threw his cellphone to the ground, shattering it.
“I never imagined, I trusted him so much, yet he actually committed such an act of betrayal against .”
“It really was him.” Tang Xin couldn’t quite believe it either. Although Chen Jie and Jing Feng were nominally superior and subordinate, they were also good friends in private. With such a betrayal from a good friend, it was natural for Jing Feng to be very angry.
Jing Feng took a deep breath and stood up, “Sorry, I need to deal with so things first. Xin’er, please entertain Master Qin well. Master Qin, thank you for this ti.”
With those words, Jing Feng strode towards the doorway and disappeared in an instant.
Tang Xin sighed.
“Is everything alright?!” Mother Tang asked with so concern. Tang Xin shook her head, “Nothing serious.”
Mr. Tang furrowed his brows, “Let him handle his own affairs; we shouldn’t get involved.”
Mother Tang and Tang Xin nodded.
Then, Mother Tang put on an affectionate smile and took Qin Qin’s hand again, “Master Qin, would you also do a reading for ?”
Qin Qin subtly withdrew her hand and raised a smile, “Mrs. Tang will have a happy marriage, filial children, and a blissful and fulfilling old age.”
Upon hearing Qin Qin say that, Mother Tang’s smile widened even more.
“But…”
“What ‘but’?” Mother Tang quickly asked, losing her smile.
“Mrs. Tang is fine, but the Mister needs to be cautious.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Tang imdiately tensed up, “What do I need to be cautious about?”
“Will you be near the riverbank anyti soon?”
In Peng County, there is a big river called the Minjiang River.
“How did you know? I just decided on that.” Mr. Tang was startled, then beca respectful, “Master Qin, could sothing happen?”
Qin Qin nodded, “It would be best to keep away from the edge; the dam is old and accidents due to disrepair are inevitable.”
“All right, all right, I’ll be sure to be careful.”
Mr. Tang took this warning to heart, and it was precisely because he did that he avoided a disaster.
