Super Host

She would have no effect in the near future.

Xu Ruyan looked at Yang Tao with a gleam in her eyes. Indeed, with Yang Tao's skills, he would not be able to uncover her background.

Some time ago, she had invested a large amount of money and even sold a house for it. If the losses were counted, they would exceed 20 million. She hadn't told anyone about this, and Yang Tao had no way of knowing.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ruyan suppressed the shock in her heart. "I understand. You may leave now. If what you say is true, I will thank you."

Yang Tao looked at Xu Ruyan, unsure if she really believed him. However, since he had already spoken, whether the loss was recovered or not would prove the truth of his words.

"Alright, Ms. Xu. I'll take my leave." Yang Tao stood up, nodded, and walked out.

Earlier, he had claimed to be a disciple of a hidden sect, thus creating a plausible identity for himself. At first, Yang Tao had planned to remain inconspicuous, avoiding abrupt changes in his personality to avoid suspicion.

Now, however, he told Xu Ruyan that he could tell fortunes and foresee the future. He had also confronted Zhang Zhang earlier in the day, showing a more assertive side.

These two behaviors were actually contradictory. Yang Tao felt that if he continued to maintain his shy and introverted personality while slowly changing, he would not be able to complete the system's first task within the allotted time. It was better to be more direct.

After revealing this to Xu Ruyan, he considered the possibility that she might call the police or react in some other way. However, Yang Tao believed that this was highly unlikely.

Even if she did call the police, they would need evidence to act. As for any ulterior motives, if his predictions came true, people would try to curry favor with him rather than challenge him. Strange things inspired awe.

Yang Tao returned to his workplace. His shift was supposed to start at 2:00 p.m., but it was only 1:00 p.m. He had finished his tasks early and decided to rest. Lying down, he soon fell into a light sleep, his soft snoring filling the room.

While Yang Tao slept, Xu Ruyan couldn't stop her mind from racing. Losing over 20 million yuan was a heavy blow to anyone. Xu Ruyan couldn't just ignore the situation.

She made several phone calls in quick succession. Within 20 minutes, a call was returned.

"Sister Ruyan, you're unbelievable! That bastard was about to escape with the money, but we stopped him on his way to board the plane," an excited voice said on the other end.

"What?" Xu Ruyan was stunned. "Where was he planning to flee to?"

"A small country in Africa. Everything was ready for him to leave. If he had gone there, we might never have found him," the caller explained. "Sister Ruyan, how did you know? It's unbelievable."

"That bastard didn't tell anyone and kept everything very secret. He was completely dumbfounded when we caught him-it's hilarious!" The caller, overwhelmed with excitement, couldn't help but curse.

"Watch your language!" Xu Ruyan regained her composure. Without answering the question, she instructed, "He took over 20 million from me. The money should still be with him. Go get it and transfer it to my account. Keep one million as a reward for yourself."

"Got it!" The caller chuckled before adding, "Sister Ruyan, when did you give him so much money? No one knew about it."

"Don't worry about that," Xu Ruyan replied calmly. "Just focus on getting the money back."

"Understood. Leave it to me. If he doesn't hand over the money, I'll make him regret it," the caller said fiercely.

"Don't act recklessly. The money should still be with him, but it depends on how you get him to release it," Xu Ruyan warned.

By now, she was almost certain that Yang Tao's words were true. It was just after 1:40 p.m. Yang Tao had predicted that the loss of the money would be confirmed after 2:00 p.m.

The would-be thief's attempt to board the plane confirmed it. If the plane had taken off, the money would have been irretrievably lost.

Sitting in her chair, Xu Ruyan's chest heaved violently, and her shirt was unbuttoned. She couldn't believe that such a person existed in the world. The ability to sense danger was truly extraordinary. Xu Ruyan could already imagine Yang Tao's future potential.

"Why did he tell me this?" Despite her high status, as a woman, Xu Ruyan couldn't help but look at things from a different perspective. Countless thoughts raced through her mind.

"He must not be feeling well." Remembering Yang Tao's pale and weak expression earlier, Xu Ruyan felt anxious. She quickly got up and opened the door.

It was still noon, and most people were resting. A few others were awake, reading novels or playing games on their mobile phones.

Xu Ruyan saw Yang Tao sleeping at his desk. At that moment, Yang Tao appeared completely different in her eyes.

She felt gratitude, fear, anxiety, and a hard-to-define emotion.

Losing more than 20 million yuan would have had a significant impact on Xu Ruyan. She couldn't imagine the hardship she would have faced if the investment had failed.

"Let's not disturb him for now." After hesitating, Xu Ruyan decided to wait until Yang Tao woke up before approaching him.
