Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad

"Young Friend Liu, you just mentioned that this Smith Wang was introduced by a friend of yours."

"So, do you remember how long it's been since you last saw this friend?"

Lu Heng asked softly.

"Well..."

On August 9th, her mother thought for a moment before uncertainly saying, "It seems like it's been two or three months."

Next to her, August 9th immediately responded.

She quickly asked, "Taoist, are you suggesting that my mother's friend is also a victim?"

"That's correct!"

Lu Heng nodded slightly, then continued, "The scam group that Smith Wang belongs to is very professional."

"Before scamming, they conduct a comprehensive investigation and understanding of their target."

"Once they target you, unless you ignore them, you're already caught in their trap."

"At first, they will talk about emotions with you, and because they have already investigated your background, during your interactions, they'll make you feel very comfortable, like an old friend you haven't seen in years."

"Next, they'll come up with various reasons to borrow money from you, promising to pay it back."

"If you lend them money, they'll return it within a week, with some added interest."

"This behavior gives you a psychological hint that the other party is not a scammer, but a very sincere person, someone willing to spend their life with you!"

"Afterward, they pretend to come back from overseas, gifting you imitation luxury items, and invite you out for fun and meals."

"Once you develop trust in them, the real plot begins!"

"They'll propose taking you on an overseas trip, specifically to Southeast Asia."

"If you agree, then congratulations, as soon as the plane lands, you'll be under their control."

"By then, do I really need to elaborate on what your fate will be?"

The viewers gasped upon hearing this.

"Damn! These scammers are really cunning!"

"If one were truly scammed to Southeast Asia, you'd probably lose both your money and your kidneys."

"Going through all that trouble just to scam one person to Southeast Asia?"

"What trouble? It's casting a wide net, multiple lines going at once!"

"Once you're in the scammers' den, even if it's just you, you have a lot to contribute!"

"Do you have money in your name? If so, they'll take it! Don't you have relatives and friends? Scam them! Don't want to? Well, there's always the kidneys!"

"I suspect that the friend of Aunt must've been scammed to Southeast Asia and has started helping the scammers trick others."

"This is really a long con for a big payoff!"

"I finally understand, these scammers are building trust in various ways, then abducting people to Southeast Asia, where they're like fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others."

"Are these scammers currently only targeting single women of a certain age?"

"How can that be? They're definitely scamming both men and women!"

"How can scammers have gender discrimination?"

"Someone like me, broke as can be, scammers wouldn't bother!"

"Haha! If a little sister from abroad wanted a long-distance relationship, you wouldn't be tempted?"

"Of course not, I only like men!"

As Lu Heng finished talking, the mother of August 9th turned deathly pale.

If anyone else had said those things, she might not believe it.

But this was the "Immortal Taoist" speaking, she had no choice but to believe it!

At this moment, Lu Heng added, "In the future I foresaw, Young Friend Liu was taking you, August 9th, with him to Southeast Asia."

"Do I really need to spell out the fate awaiting you two?"

Hearing this, August 9th's face also turned pale.

She could hardly imagine what fate awaited if she fell into the scammer's den.

"Taoist, I... I'll go to the police right now!"

August 9th's mother trembled as she spoke.

"Hmm!"

Lu Heng nodded.

"Taoist, thank you so much for tonight!"

After expressing their gratitude, August 9th and her mother ended the call with lingering fear.

Simultaneously, the system notification sounded.

[System Notification: The host has successfully altered the Heavenly Dao, absorbing Life Span. Please check it later...]

Lu Heng glanced at the system panel.

Life Span increased to 33 points!

August 9th and her mother had both been saved from their fate of double suicide.

However, the scammer group still existed.

If that group could be taken down soon, he might gain a lot of Life Span points.

Thinking of this, he decided to mention this to Elder Song and others next time.

"Tonight's two lucky viewers have been read completely."

"Until we meet again, everyone!"

Lu Heng waved goodbye to the viewers and ended the stream.

"I collected rather few Life Span points today!"

"Oh well, let's just go for a lottery draw first!"

He summoned the system and silently said, "System, draw!"

[System Notification: Do you wish to consume 10 Life Span points for a draw?]

"Yes!"

[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for drawing three Black Fog Talismans!]

[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for drawing three Thunder Light Talismans!]

[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for drawing three bottles of Lower Grade Spirit Water!]

Well, all pretty ordinary!

It seems that after hitting the jackpot with "Fire in the Furnace" last time, luck has returned to normal.

Lu Heng shook his head, took a Spiritual Qi Pill, and entered a state of cultivation.

...

Early the next morning.

Lu Heng appeared in the cafeteria early.

"Qingfeng, I was just about to bring you breakfast! Why are you here?"

Qingzhi approached and scratched his head.

"Senior Brother, you really don't need to bring me meals anymore."

Lu Heng had to reiterate yet again.

"No way!"

"Just bringing a meal, it doesn't interrupt anything."

Qingzhi shook his head.

Lu Heng was about to say something, but just then, Qingming walked into the cafeteria.

"Hey? Qingfeng, why are you here?"

Qingming also came over.

Next to him, Qingzhi habitually tossed an egg to Qingming.

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Senior Brother Qingzhi, didn't you say earlier that you'd rather feed the egg to dogs than give it to someone?"

Qingzhi heard that, glanced up at Qingming peeling the egg, and chuckled, "Isn't this feeding it to a dog?"

"Woof woof woof!"

Qingming had an indifferent expression and even barked twice.

"Senior Brother Qingming is indeed impressive!"

Lu Heng had to admit it!

Qingming laughed heartily, then deliberately lowered his voice, "The Sect Leader is back, did you know?"

Master is back?

Lu Heng was slightly stunned.

"When did he return? How come I didn't know?"

Qingzhi asked bluntly.

"Around two or three in the morning?"

"When I got up to use the bathroom, I saw the Sect Leader and Master talking."

Qingming spoke without holding back.
