I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 619 - 445 The Swindler

Director Wu took the card and put it away, a trace of excitement on his face.

He had heard many rumors about Haojiang.

Moreover, the people present included nearly all of Haojiang’s high society. After making a few phone calls to confirm this, he came to fully believe in Xia Liang.

How could anyone not be excited when such a formidable Diviner is about to read their fortune?

A moment later, a stream of information appeared in Xia Liang’s mind.

Wu Tian’s destinies for wealth and longevity are both exceptional. But why is his fortune in blessings only at fifty percent?

When his gaze moved to the final column, Xia Liang understood.

Loss of a son in middle age, and no one to be there at his end. No wonder his fortune in blessings is average; he only has half a lifetime of happiness. He’ll have wealth in his old age but no descendants, unable to enjoy the bliss of family life.

Seeing Xia Liang staring at him for so long made Director Wu feel a bit uneasy. After a while, he finally spoke.

"Master Xia, did you see anything? How are my fortunes looking recently?"

Hearing Director Wu’s question, Xia Liang slowly began to speak. "Director Wu, you have an exceptional fate. Your wealth and longevity far surpass that of ordinary people. You don’t need to worry about this movie. Just focus on filming it well, and the box office won’t be bad."

"That’s good, that’s good."

Upon hearing this, Director Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Zombie films were not popular right now, and he had invested his entire net worth into making one. If it failed, losing money would be the least of his problems—his reputation would likely suffer as well. So, hearing Xia Liang’s words, he was extremely happy. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But Xia Liang subconsciously sighed. What’s the use of making money if you have no one to see you off when you’re old?

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but casually ask, "Director Wu, did you have a son before?"

Hearing Xia Liang’s words, Director Wu was taken aback, a trace of shock appearing on his face. My son has never been mentioned to the media. Besides our friends, no one knows about him, yet Xia Liang brought him up so directly.

Director Wu nodded.

"Indeed, I have a son. But I don’t understand what you mean by ’before,’ Master Xia. It sounds like you’re saying my son is dead," Director Wu said with a joking laugh.

Hearing his words, Xia Liang felt something was off and immediately opened Wu Tian’s fate trajectory again. I made a mistake; I wasn’t being careful enough. Director Wu’s hair is mostly white, so at first glance, anyone would take him for a man in his sixties. I assumed the same, thinking he was already old and had passed the point of losing a son in middle age.

But in reality, Director Wu is only in his early fifties, just at the tail end of middle age. He looks much older because he so often stays up late for filming.

Xia Liang re-examined Director Wu’s fortune and confirmed it.

Wu Tian’s son is still alive.

Xia Liang then checked the fate trajectory of Wu Tian’s son and looked at Director Wu’s own fortune for the next ten days. His expression grew more solemn.

He discovered that the time frame for Director Wu losing his son was within the next two days.

"Master Xia, what is it? Is there something else you want to say?"

Seeing Xia Liang’s expression suddenly turn grave, Director Wu felt an inexplicable pang in his heart.

Looking at the director, Xia Liang spoke again. He didn’t answer the previous question but instead asked one of his own.

"Has your son provoked anyone recently?"

"No, not at all." Hearing Xia Liang’s question, Director Wu immediately shook his head in denial, not even pausing to think before continuing, "My son is a model student who never causes trouble. He’s been working hard for a scholarship, studying in his dormitory. How could he have provoked anyone?"

Hearing the conviction in Director Wu’s voice, Xia Liang gave a bitter laugh.

The fate of Director Wu’s son is completely different from what he’s describing. Drinking, fighting, causing trouble, dating, skipping classes—he’s done it all. Crucially, he turned out this way because of "Street Kid," a movie Director Wu filmed years ago. And recently, he has indeed run afoul of a real street kid, someone backed by numerous shady business dealings. For a person like that, getting rid of a director’s son is a simple matter. It seems Director Wu’s son is two-faced, acting one way at home and another outside.

Xia Liang spoke frankly.

"Director Wu, your son isn’t quite as you describe."

Hearing this, Director Wu was startled and quickly asked, "What do you mean, Master Xia? Why do you say my son is different from what I’ve described?"

Xia Liang laughed a little, holding nothing back. "What I mean, Director Wu, is that your son is not the model student you believe him to be. The things he does are far beyond what you can imagine. Drinking, fighting, skipping school, dating, even colluding with criminals... he’s just a little hoodlum. And furthermore..."

Xia Liang paused, his eyes slowly fixing on Director Wu.

For some reason, Director Wu felt his heart clench. Xia Liang continued, "...furthermore, your son will likely face a disaster in the next couple of days, a life-threatening one. Perhaps, Director Wu, you will suffer the loss of a child in middle age. You might even die alone."
