Chapter 9 New Type of Pig Killing Scam
Zhou Du frowned slightly, "Master Li?"
"Brother, it's like this. Master Li is a master of metaphysics and is very accurate in fortune-telling, so we call her Master Li." Zhou Xian explained.
Zhou Du naturally didn't believe in such superstitions and suspected that his brother was too naive to be fooled by this so-called "master".
Besides, how could an accurate fortune teller get himself into the hospital? It seems more like someone was found out to be a fake for scamming people, and was taught a lesson and sent to the hospital.
Zhou Du collected his thoughts and asked, "How did you two meet?"
"I met her in the live broadcast room. Master Li is doing fortune-telling live on the platform." Zhou Xian replied.
"Then why are you in the same ward?" Zhou Du asked.
"Maybe this is fate. We met online one second and met in the ward the next. It couldn't be more coincidental." Zhou Xian said.
Zhou Du didn't believe in fate. There was no such coincidence in the world. It seemed like it was intentional.
Could it be that my brother has been targeted by this liar?
Maybe it's a new type of pig-killing scam.
"What happened to your car accident?" Zhou Du asked again.
Zhou Xian glanced at his left leg, scratched his hair, and said angrily, "It's all my fault. Master Li clearly told me not to go out last night. I thought I was just going to the park downstairs to walk the dog, what could go wrong? I didn't expect that when I was crossing the road, I would encounter a car with faulty brakes. I was looking down at my phone at the time, and I didn't have time to avoid it, so I was hit."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Du felt even more strongly that his car accident was pre-planned, just to convince him of the accuracy of Master Li's predictions. "Like this."
He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li Zhi who was lying on the bed next to him. Her arms and legs were in plaster and her head was bandaged. She was obviously seriously injured, but her face was intact without a single scratch. It was obviously a bit unreasonable.
Zhou Du even suspected that she had someone in the hospital. His brother was in the same ward with her, which was obviously arranged by her deliberately so that she could have further contact with his brother.
It is very likely that she was not injured at all, but was just pretending to be weak and gain sympathy.
And having a little boy around can also make people less wary.
Zhou Du pushed his glasses down on his nose with one hand, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Hello, Miss Li."
Li Zhi nodded, "Hello."
Zhou Du smiled slightly, "Zhou Xian said you are very accurate in fortune-telling. Could you tell mine too?"
Li Zhi knew that he was suspecting her of being a liar. "Okay, two thousand each time. What do you want to calculate?"
"Money is not a problem, so please help me calculate when I can get married, Miss Li." Zhou Du said.
Li Zhi stared at his face for a second, "You like the same sex and won't get married."
Zhou Xian was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted and looked at Zhou Du with a complicated look.
It's not that he discriminates against homosexuals, but he just didn't expect that the brother he respected so much would be gay. He really didn't notice it at all.
No wonder he has never had a girlfriend. When faced with pressure from his family to get married, he always finds excuses to avoid it. It turns out he likes men.
"Brother...you..." Zhou Xian hesitated to speak.
Zhou Du was also stunned. He didn't expect that his deepest secret would be revealed. For a moment, he didn't know whether she had guessed it correctly or had really calculated it.
He saw Zhou Xian's reaction and pursed his lips, but did not deny it. "Ah Xian, don't tell my parents about this."
Zhou Xian nodded, "Yeah, I know..."
Li Zhi picked up her phone, opened the WeChat payment code, and then turned the phone screen towards Zhou Du and said leisurely, "Pay, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Du naturally didn't care about this small amount of money. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and stopped beside her bed.
He opened WeChat, scanned her payment code, and directly transferred her four thousand. He knew that if he guessed right once, there would be no chance of getting it right a second time, so he said, "Calculate it for me again."
"No problem." Li Zhi turned the screen back and clicked to confirm the payment. "What do you want to pay this time?"
"As you wish." Zhou Du said.
Li Zhi raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, "You and Zhou Xian have no blood relationship, you were adopted."
When she said this, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of the two brothers.
The two of them looked at each other at the same time, their brows full of disbelief, and for a moment they suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Zhou Xian was so shocked that he almost jumped out of bed. "Master Li, you are kidding us! How could my brother and I not be brothers?!"
"It's very simple. You can call your parents and ask them directly, or go for a DNA test," said Li Zhi.
When Zhou Xian heard her say this, he knew it was true. He looked a little dazed, "How could this be... Why didn't my parents ever tell me..."
Zhou Du didn't say anything. He naturally chose the fastest verification method. He immediately picked up his phone and called Zhou's mother.
The phone rang a few times before it was connected, and Zhou's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, A'Du."
Zhou Du turned on the hands-free mode and got straight to the point. "Mom, I'm not your and Dad's biological child. Was I adopted by you?"
Mother Zhou was stunned when she heard this, her expression a little surprised. She obviously didn't expect him to know this all of a sudden. Then she came to her senses and asked, "Where did you hear this?"
Zhou Du had an idea in mind when she asked, "Mom, just answer me, yes or no?"
He paused and continued, "Or I can go get a DNA test with Ah Xian right now."
Mother Zhou sighed softly, "You are indeed not our biological child, but how did you know this?"
Zhou Du looked up at Li Zhi. Now he truly believed she could tell fortunes. All his previous suspicions and speculations about her were overturned. "I met a fortune teller, and she calculated it and told me. So, what exactly is going on? Why didn't she tell me?"
"It's not really a secret. Your mother is my best friend. When you were one year old, your family of three was involved in a car accident on the road. Your parents died on the spot, but you survived because you were held tightly under her. Since then, we brought you home and raised you as our own son."
"Your father and I didn't tell you because we didn't want you to be sad. Most importantly, we were afraid that you would become estranged from us because you're not our biological child."
Zhou Du naturally understood their painstaking efforts, "Mom, if you and Dad don't mind, I will always be your biological son."
Mother Zhou smiled and said softly, "How could we possibly dislike you? I hope you won't become estranged from us because of this."
