"Master Xia Tian, what other embarrassing tales do you have about Old Gao? Come on, tell us so we can have a laugh!"

Gao Hesheng's face darkened. He wants to say more? This Master Xia Tian is the real deal! If he spills all my embarrassing childhood stories, I'm finished.

Xia Liang smiled faintly. "Do you really want me to tell?"

Qian Donglai nodded. "Go ahead. With my relationship with Old Gao, is there anything I can't know?"

Xia Liang mentally reviewed the memories brought forth by the Eye of Reincarnation, then looked at Gao Hesheng and mused aloud, "What should I talk about? The time you fell into a manure pit as a kid? Or the time you tricked the little girl next door into kissing you? Or perhaps when you wore a bedsheet as a cape, pretending to be Superman while streaking through the village? Or how about the time you threw firecrackers into the manure pit, splattering your dad with crap..."

Then, Xia Liang shook his head. "None of those are quite right. Nothing beats the story of you getting beaten up by a monkey!"

With every sentence Xia Liang spoke, Gao Hesheng's shock grew. He had even forgotten some of those things himself; if Xia Liang hadn't brought them up, he would never have remembered.

"Master Xia Tian, please, withdraw your divine powers! I, Old Gao, submit!" Gao Hesheng stood up and said respectfully. Xia Liang could even tell him things he himself had almost forgotten. At this point, Gao Hesheng was completely convinced. Qian Donglai was already laughing so hard he was doubling over.

"Old Gao, you really were a little rascal as a kid!"

Xia Liang waved his hand. "Alright, that's enough about the past. Now..."

He pointed to the QR code on the table. "Whatever you want a reading on, friendship price is one point per reading!"

Gao Hesheng scanned the QR code without hesitation.

[Payment received: one-tenth of a currency unit!]

Hearing the notification on his phone, Xia Liang chuckled. "One-tenth of a currency unit? Gao Hesheng, my listed price is one point per reading."

Gao Hesheng's expression turned serious. "Master Xia Tian, a price of one point is unworthy of your abilities."

His net worth was far greater than Qian Donglai's, and he was naturally very generous. Seeing Gao Hesheng's determined expression, Xia Liang didn't refuse. He simply nodded with a faint smile. "You have good judgment, Gao Hesheng. Since that's the case, I will grant you a fortunate opportunity later."

Gao Hesheng was puzzled. "An opportunity?"

Xia Liang nodded. "We'll talk about that later. I already know what you want a reading on."

"You've recently been negotiating a deal with a large corporation in the south. There are too many ears here, and it involves your trade secrets, so I won't name the company. I will give you just eight words."

At this, Xia Liang paused for a moment.

Gao Hesheng was immediately intrigued. "What eight words? I will be sure to remember them."

He knew in his heart that Xia Liang was spot on. He had indeed been in confidential talks with a major hardware production base in the south, keeping it secret to avoid malicious competition. As Gao Hesheng realized Xia Liang was tactfully not exposing the details in front of everyone, a trace of gratitude appeared on his face.

Just then, Xia Liang spoke. "The south is inauspicious; the matter will face setbacks."

"The south is inauspicious; the matter will face setbacks?" Gao Hesheng was confused. "Does this mean the deal will fall through?"

Xia Liang shook his head. "Not necessarily. It just won't be as smooth as you think. There will be some hurdles."

Gao Hesheng asked again, "What kind of hurdles?"

Xia Liang gave a faint smile. "You'll find out soon enough."

Curiosity mixed with a growing anxiety in Gao Hesheng's heart. He knew the extent of Xia Liang's abilities, and seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Gao Hesheng didn't dare to press further, waiting with a sense of unease.

The surrounding tourists were also curious about what would happen. After about ten minutes, Gao Hesheng's phone rang. Seeing the name on the screen, his brow furrowed. The call was from the very employee he had sent out. After a moment's hesitation, Gao Hesheng answered the phone.

"Xiao Lin, have you arrived?"

An apologetic voice came from the other end.

"What did you say?" Gao Hesheng's expression changed. He shot an astonished look at Xia Liang. His prediction came true!

After hanging up, Gao Hesheng gave a wry smile. "Master Xia Tian, you were right again. He lost the signed contract."

Qian Donglai immediately became anxious for his friend. "Ah? Then what will you do?"

"What else can I do but print it again?" Gao Hesheng shook his head. "I'll sign a new one here and have Xiao Lin come back to get it."

The tourists nearby had of course heard everything clearly.

"Amazing! He really predicted it?"

"I've seen people who are accurate about the past, but I've never seen anyone so formidable at predicting the future!"

"This young man really has some skill!"

"What 'young man'? Call him Master! You have no perception."

"That's right, you have to watch what you say. People like him are not to be trifled with."

At that moment, Gao Hesheng had already dialed his employee Xiao Lin's number.

"Tell him not to rush back just yet," Xia Liang suddenly interjected.

Startled, Gao Hesheng looked at Xia Liang in confusion.

Xia Liang smiled. "Have him call the airline and ask if the contract was left on the plane."

Gao Hesheng nodded quickly and picked up his phone. "Xiao Lin, Master Xia Tian says your contract was left on the plane! Hurry up and call them to check."

"Master Xia Tian?" Xiao Lin sounded stunned on the other end.

Gao Hesheng's voice grew stern. "What are you waiting for? Get to it! If that contract is truly lost, I'm docking your pay!"

Hearing his boss's anger, a frightened Xiao Lin hurriedly hung up. Gao Hesheng then asked curiously, "Master Xia Tian, is the contract really on the plane?"

Xia Liang nodded with a smile. Without my reminder, the airline would have only called about finding the lost contract after Xiao Lin had already returned and was preparing to leave again with a new copy. That few-day delay would have cost Gao Hesheng two Yuan, making him furious. But now that I've revealed it, the loss from those few days would naturally be avoided.

Soon, Gao Hesheng's phone rang again. A smile gradually spread across his face. After hanging up, Gao Hesheng praised him effusively. "Master Xia Tian, you predict things with divine accuracy! You were right again!"

Xia Liang waved his hand. "From here on out, things should go smoothly over there."

Gao Hesheng took out his phone once more.

[Payment received: one-tenth of a currency unit!]

Before Xia Liang could speak, Gao Hesheng said, "Master Xia Tian, this is what you've earned. If signing the contract had truly been delayed, my losses would have been more than ten times over one hundred thousand Yuan."

Xia Liang nodded, accepting it without any qualms.

The people in the crowd immediately cast envious glances.

"Wow, that's two-tenths of a currency unit for two readings!"

"Yeah! If I had this skill, why the hell would I still be working?"

"Sigh, how can us ordinary mortals compare to a master!"

"One point for a reading... I want one too, but I'm broke."

"Honey, transfer me one point..."

Gao Hesheng glanced at his watch. "Master Xia Tian, it's getting late. I'll come and trouble you again tomorrow." By now, dusk was setting in.

Qian Donglai also stood up, preparing to leave.

Xia Liang raised a hand. "Hey, don't be in such a rush to leave."

Both men stopped and looked at him.

Xia Liang chuckled. "I said I'd grant you an opportunity, Gao Hesheng. Have you forgotten?"

"Look at this memory of mine!" Gao Hesheng slapped his forehead. "However, Master Xia Tian, you've already given me a great opportunity today. I dare not be too greedy."

By this point, Gao Hesheng was addressing Xia Liang with the utmost respect. He was a content man. Trading two-tenths of a currency unit to save a profit of several Yuan felt more than worth it. Most importantly, through his contact with Xia Liang, he knew he had earned his goodwill. And that goodwill, he knew very clearly, was something money could not buy.

Thinking of this, Gao Hesheng chuckled. "This opportunity is already more than enough for me!"

However, Xia Liang suddenly gave a mysterious smile. "Gao Hesheng, are you sure you don't want to know the whereabouts of your family?"

BOOM!

Those words struck Gao Hesheng like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.
