"What!?" Shen Lingxue was immediately shocked: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Fang Xiu's ability is to foresee the future?"
Li Wenhao nodded: "Our listening equipment is professional equipment. Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao were just ordinary people before, so the possibility of them discovering they were being listened to is basically zero. Therefore, we should be able to rule out the possibility that the two of them were acting on the phone."
Furthermore, Fang Xiu just said something.
At this point, Li Wenhao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"What did you say?" Shen Lingxue asked.
He said two more guests would be arriving later.
"What?! Two guests? Could he be referring to...?"
The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Li Wenhao slowly said, "Fang Xiu's social circle is very narrow, and since he is an orphan, he has no relatives visiting him. So the guests he mentioned are most likely...you and me."
Shen Lingxue fell silent.
A moment later.
Her lips moved slightly: "Does the ability to foresee the future really exist in this world? Even if it does, it shouldn't be present in a first-tier spirit master."
“Indeed.” Li Wenhao nodded: “The more powerful the ability, the more limitations it has. Just like the spatial ability user we interviewed before, although he can teleport, as a first-level spirit master, he can only teleport ten centimeters. After ten centimeters, his spiritual energy is exhausted, and he needs to wait an hour before he can teleport again.”
Ten centimeters per hour—that teleportation ability is slower than a tortoise crawling.
For a spatial ability user like him to apply teleportation in actual combat, he would need to advance to at least the second tier.
If Fang Xiu possessed the ability to foresee the future, as a first-tier Spirit Master, his situation shouldn't be much better than that spatial elementalist. He might only be able to foresee what would happen in the next second. Yet, he could foresee that you and I were going to find him—how much time has passed since then?
"Don't jump to conclusions," Shen Lingxue said solemnly. "Perhaps it's a coincidence, or maybe someone in the Investigation Bureau leaked our whereabouts."
“Investigator Chen, what do you think would happen if we didn’t go to see Fang Xiu today? Wouldn’t his prediction be broken?” Li Wenhao suddenly suggested.
Shen Lingxue looked at him like he was an idiot: "Our mission is to investigate Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao. Now that they've only made one phone call, you're not going? How are you going to explain this to Director Wang when you get back?"
What if this was all a trap set by Fang Xiu? Wouldn't we become a laughingstock later?
Besides, if Fang Xiu really could foresee the future, you must know how much of a role he would play after joining the Investigation Bureau, right?
Li Wenhao chuckled awkwardly, "I was just saying it casually, wanting to see if his precognitive abilities were really that accurate. Of course I'll go."
"Let's go." Shen Lingxue opened the car door, and a gentle breeze blew in, causing her hair to stick to her fair cheeks.
"I want to see if this prediction of the future is true or false."
The two got out of the car and headed straight for Fang Xiu's house.
When they climbed to the fifth floor and were about to knock on the door, they found that the door was ajar and opened with a push.
The two exchanged a glance, unsure whether Fang Xiu had foreseen it or had simply not closed the door properly.
After the two entered the house, they saw a handsome, upright man with a calm expression making tea.
It was Fang Xiu who was resting.
Three teacups were placed on the coffee table, one in front of Fang Xiu and the other two beside him. Wisps of white steam rose from the teacups, indicating that the water had just been boiled.
Upon seeing the teacup, Shen Lingxue and Li Wenhao were immediately startled.
Was it a real premonition? Or are there security cameras outside the residential area?
At this moment, Fang Xiu spoke up.
"Miss Shen, Mr. Li, please have a seat."
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions of shock deepened.
They could say with certainty that this was the first time they had met Fang Xiu; the two had never met before.
Furthermore, as members of the Investigation Bureau, their identities and information are kept confidential and are definitely not something Fang Xiu could access.
Shen Lingxue, being both skilled and daring, took the lead and sat down on the sofa, looking at Fang Xiu with a scrutinizing expression.
"How do you know our surname? And how did you know we were coming?"
Ignoring Shen Lingxue's scrutiny and suspicion, Fang Xiu calmly said, "My eyes can see the future."
Upon hearing Fang Xiu's admission, the two were immediately filled with shock and disbelief.
However, although Shen Lingxue was shocked, her doubts were not dispelled.
"Can you see the future? How can you prove it?"
“You two are both from the Investigation Bureau. You’ve come here for two purposes: one is to investigate the Mysterious Domain of Bailiu Academy, and the other is to see if Zhao Hao and I are qualified to join the Investigation Bureau,” Fang Xiu said calmly.
“Mr. Fang, this doesn’t prove you can predict the future. It’s easy to guess why we’re here, as long as you’ve researched the Investigation Bureau beforehand,” Li Wenhao said, shaking his head.
Fang Xiu turned his gaze to Li Wenhao and continued calmly, "You've always secretly loved Shen Lingxue, and you even wrote a love letter a long time ago, which you put in the left pocket of your coat. The letter says, 'Lingxue, by the time you see this letter, I'll probably be dead. Actually, there's something I've always wanted to tell you...'"
"Stop talking!" Li Wenhao stood up abruptly, his face flushed, and stopped Fang Xiu.
Shen Lingxue glanced at Li Wenhao in surprise.
Li Wenhao hurriedly explained, "Investigator Shen, you know me. Fang Xiu is absolutely talking nonsense. I really didn't write a love letter, I..."
"Alright." Shen Lingxue gestured to Li Wenhao not to get too excited.
“I’ve received a lot of love letters since I was a child, so I’m not surprised that you would do something like this. But from what you’re saying, it seems you’re planning to tell me only if you die in the line of duty. That’s a bit surprising, but it’s impossible between us.”
Li Wenhao's face flushed even more: "I know, I just..."
"So you really wrote a love letter? Let me see it." Shen Lingxue held out her hand.
"I...I..."
"What do you mean, 'I'? I just want to check if the content is the same as what Fang Xiu said!"
Helpless, Li Wenhao had no choice but to take an envelope out of the left pocket of his jacket.
Shen Lingxue took the envelope, opened it, and quickly scanned the first few lines, her shock growing stronger.
Because the words above are exactly the same as what Fang Xiu said.
She threw the love letter back to Li Wenhao and stared intently at Fang Xiu, saying, "Given Li Wenhao's personality, since he planned to let me know only after he died, he certainly wouldn't have shown this love letter to anyone."
However, knowing the contents of the love letter doesn't mean you can predict the future; after all, love letters aren't written in the future, but in the past.
