"Auntie, you...you're not hiding anything, are you?"

Xu Shi still couldn't accept it. How could such a big fuss end without any result?

"Did you see something bad? That's okay, I can accept it."

"No, I really didn't see anything."

The white-haired loli shook her head. "At most, there are a few fragments; the rest is pitch black... It can't even form a complete picture."

Why is this happening?

Realizing she wasn't lying, Xu Shi became even more curious.

"...This ability of mine isn't 100% effective; it's failed before."

Xia Ke'an said regretfully, "Firstly, I can't predict the future too far in the future, such as things a hundred years from now, I definitely won't be able to see that."

"As for the second point... I couldn't be sure before, but I can now—it seems I can't predict anything involving 'natural law.' To be honest, twelve years ago I predicted the future of 'refraction,' and all I saw was complete darkness."

"At the time, I thought it was just because I wasn't in good shape, but now it seems... Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

The white-haired loli, contrary to her usual self, started swearing through gritted teeth. She knew it wasn't right, but she just couldn't help it.

She has clearly made some progress, but she is still helpless when facing her enemies. Who could be happy about that?

Xu Shi also found it absurd. What exactly was this "heavenly principle"? Was it some kind of divine being?

Thinking about this, he inexplicably felt a toothache.

"Trust me, I'm not afraid to see bad things."

After venting her frustrations to the air, the old woman turned to him dejectedly, "Because of you, we both know what the worst outcome is, it's just death... But if it's with you, I don't really feel how scary it is right now."

"I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense."

Xu Shi was taken aback, then gave her a flick on the forehead with a stern face. "Just because it's not scary doesn't mean you can die easily! Calling you an idiot is absolutely right!"

"Anyway, I don't want to die, especially not at the hands of 'Heavenly Justice,' so listen up, woman, you can't die without my permission!"

It feels numb when I pinch it, so awkward.

Oops, I accidentally said another classic line from a domineering CEO... Oh, I am a domineering CEO, so it's okay.

Xia Ke'an instinctively covered her forehead, her eyes flickering as she met his gaze. After a moment of silence, she laughed and complained in a coquettish tone, "It hurts."

That wasn't a joke; Xu Shi used a lot of force, which was rare for him, and he was clearly really angry.

But the older woman only felt a warm glow in her heart. Although the little boy's lines were a bit off, his feelings were genuine. Did he think she was too pessimistic and useless? In essence, he was caring for and loving her.

"Aren't you afraid of death? Why are you afraid of pain?"

Xu Shicai denied it, and said irritably, "What are you talking about, kid? What are you trying to prove with your old-fashioned attitude?"

"I was wrong, please forgive me, Brother Xu Shi."

Xia Ke'an didn't argue with him, but ran over and hugged him. "You know, I tend to lose control when it comes to matters of 'natural justice'... I'm sorry."

Seeing her like this, Xu Shi couldn't get angry anymore, so he reached out and rubbed her hands.

He said it was his true feelings that were being expressed, but wasn't the old lady also feeling the same way? If she didn't rely on him, she wouldn't have said something like "I'm not afraid to die with you."

He wasn't heartless after all, and he was somewhat moved by what he heard.

so.

"I'll spank you next time; a bump on your forehead doesn't look good."

"Is this still... huh?!"

The white-haired girl raised a question mark, but didn't mind his teasing. Instead, she laughed even harder. "Actually, it doesn't matter where you hit me, the main thing is that you woke me up. What I should be thinking about is working with you to expose the truth of 'heavenly justice,' not wallowing in self-pity and acting like I'm going to die."

"That's more like it. It's better to be a thief for a thousand days than to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Xu Shi was very pleased.

"So smile, you don't look good with a straight face."

Xia Ke'an reached out and pinched his cheek. "By the way, although I didn't succeed in predicting 'the laws of nature,' it wasn't a complete loss."

"Um?"

"I've discovered that, thanks to my self-healing, I can now make small predictions without being affected by complications at all."

"What's considered small, and what's considered large?"

Xu asked curiously.

"Well..."

The white-haired girl felt that his words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but she didn't pay much attention to it. "I'll give you an example, like... someone will fall down in front of you later."

As they spoke, Xu Shi could sense a fluctuation in her aura, and he immediately understood the general idea: she had activated her ability again.

What she predicted was indeed a minor matter.

so.

Who would stumble in front of me?

Before Xia Ke'an could answer, two figures rushed towards them.

It was Xia Wuyou and Yu Xingchuan.

The two walked over one after the other. When they were still a few steps away from Xu Shi, the adjutant's daughter suddenly slipped and stumbled into Xu Shi's arms.

Oops, I fell down!

"..."

Xu Shi nimbly dodged to the side, leaving Yu Xingchuan sprawled on the ground, then looked at Xia Ke'an with a constipated expression.

—Your calculations are quite accurate.

The white-haired loli was suppressing her laughter until her stomach hurt. It was obvious that she knew this would happen, which was why she deliberately kept it a secret.

"Director Yu, what are you doing?!"

Xia Wuyou was a little annoyed, mainly because her fall looked so fake! Anyone with eyes could tell what she was up to... Anyway, she really disliked this kind of behavior. Bad woman, please don't bother our Xu Shi!
