Chapter 45: True Future Prediction

Shen Lingxue sneered, "Fang Xiu, we did send people to the lottery center, but that was because we were afraid you had already prepared your own people and planned to rig the results. This lottery draw was completely random. What? Now that you see the winning numbers are different, does that mean your scheme failed?"

Fang Xiu glanced at the reactions of the three and had already concluded that they hadn't tampered with the results, so he could proceed with the death rollback with confidence.

At that moment, Shen Lingxue sneered again, "You said earlier that if you guessed wrong, you'd pay with your life. Haha, it doesn't look like you're about to pay with your life now. You're just trying to back out."

"Rest assured, I keep my word." Fang Xiu smiled faintly, and the next moment, a silver surgical knife appeared in his hand.

Shen Lingxue and Yang Ming immediately shielded Wang Dehai behind them, thinking he was about to draw his knife.

However, to their shock, after pulling out the scalpel, Fang Xiu did not attack but instead plunged it into his own forehead.

The three were instantly stunned, staring at Fang Xiu with a scalpel lodged in his forehead. They felt that such a man of his word was rare indeed.

He truly kept his word.

...

Green Vine City Investigation Bureau.

Fang Xiu, who had returned from death, entered the building led by Shen Lingxue and Li Wenhao.

This time, he completely repeated what he had done last time to avoid causing a butterfly effect.

Looking at the investigation bureau he had come to for the second time, Fang Xiu smiled slightly.

It was time to show his true ability to foresee the future.

As the three entered, Fang Xiu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Shen Lingxue furrowed her brows slightly: "What's wrong?"

"Two staff members will collide at the corner of the corridor ahead."

"What?" Li Wenhao didn't react immediately and asked instinctively.

The next second, a woman wearing a professional secretary outfit and holding a stack of documents rushed over. As she reached the corner, a male staff member emerged from the corner at the same time.

"Ouch!"

With a startled cry, the two collided, scattering the documents everywhere.

Shen Lingxue and Li Wenhao were instantly stunned, staring at Fang Xiu in disbelief.

"This... this can't be possible?!"

Fang Xiu remained calm, continuing to walk forward, stepping over the scattered documents.

Shen Lingxue and the others followed closely behind, not even noticing the staff member who had fallen to the ground.

Fang Xiu seemed as though he had been to the Investigation Bureau before, walking confidently to an office area where over a dozen clerks were sitting at their computers working.

Then he said, "The woman in the third row from the left will get up to get coffee."

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman seemed to have heard the command, picked up the cup on her desk, and got up to go to the coffee machine.

Shen Lingxue and the others behind him were even more shocked, finding it hard to believe.

"The man in the middle of the second row from the back will knock over the documents."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man, who seemed a bit tired, raised his hand and stretched. As he stretched, there was a clatter as the documents on the desk accidentally fell to the ground.

"The man in the first row, first seat, will receive a call in three seconds."

Shen Lingxue and Li Wenhao both looked at their wristwatches almost simultaneously.

The next second.

Ring ring...

The phone rang.

"Hello, who is this?"

"I'm not buying a house, and I'm not taking out a loan. You real estate agents should stop calling me."

After the call ended, the two looked up and exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The time was exactly three seconds!

The two of them looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief, feeling as though he were a deity whose words carried the weight of law, standing among mortals and casually manipulating their destinies.

Fang Xiu calmly glanced at the two of them and said softly, "Let's go. The break room is over there."

Speaking, he seemed to take charge, leading the two of them, who were still in a state of extreme shock, to the break room.

Upon arriving at the break room, he effortlessly retrieved tea from the second drawer on the left side of the counter, then coffee from the third drawer.

He poured Shen Lingxue a cup of coffee and Li Wenhao a cup of green tea.

He thoughtfully added exactly five cubes of sugar to Shen Lingxue's coffee.

Shen Lingxue: "..."

Li Wenhao: "..."

Fang Xiu poured himself a glass of water, took a small sip, and then said calmly, "There's no need to be so surprised. I told you, my eyes can see the future."

Shen Lingxue: "..."

Li Wenhao: "..."

The two were so shocked they couldn't speak. After a long pause, Shen Lingxue finally asked, "Did you foresee all of that beforehand? Including the location of the break room, and even that I would add five cubes of sugar to my coffee?"

Fang Xiu picked up his cup, gently blew away the steam above the rim, took a sip, and said, "What else could it be?"

The two fell into another prolonged silence.

If they had any doubts before, they were now largely dispelled.

Some information might have been obtained through prior investigation, but accurately predicting the next moves of Investigation Bureau staff members was not something that could be achieved through prior investigation alone.

"You two should go report to Wang Dehai. He's free right now."

The two of them felt numb at that moment and didn't know what to say. This was a normal reaction when faced with something beyond one's ordinary understanding.

They exchanged glances and then silently stood up to report to Wang Dehai.

After the two left, Fang Xiu took out his phone and made a call.

At the same time, Yang Ming, who was in the mountains near Qingbei Town, was driving and humming a song.

Suddenly, the song stopped, and the phone rang.

Yang Ming picked up the phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Without thinking, he answered it.

"Hello, who is this?"

Yang Ming's casual voice rang out, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance, completely different from his state after Bai Qi's death.

A calm, deep male voice came from the other end of the line.

"In half an hour, Bai Qi will die."

Squeal!

Yang Ming slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching against the ground, leaving two long marks.

His casual expression vanished, replaced by a strange, deep voice.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Fang Xiu, a man who can foresee the future. I am currently a guest at the Investigation Bureau. If everything goes as planned, we will become colleagues in the future. I foresee that Bai Qi will be mysteriously killed in half an hour. You still have time to save him now."

Yang Ming laughed in anger: "I don't care who you are. Do you know that making such jokes can cost someone their life?"

"When selecting the team leader, you and Bai Qi fought. You gave him a laxative the night before, but since your ability is luck, no one suspected you."

Yang Ming was instantly stunned and blurted out, "How did you know that? I've never told anyone that secret."

"Remember what I said. I'll only say this once. Bai Qi is currently in the outskirts of Qingbei Town, in an abandoned building. He will encounter the Headless Ghost there and engage in battle. However, there's not just one ghost there—there's also a Shadow Ghost hiding in his shadow, which will strike at a critical moment, leading to Bai Qi's death."

After saying that, Fang Xiu hung up the phone.
