Chapter 089 Metaphysics Live Broadcast + Raising a Child 13
After the video connection, a well-maintained, elegant-looking man in his early fifties appeared in the camera.
His name is Liu Deyi, and he is the president of the well-known Shan Yao Group both at home and abroad.
The group is a state-controlled enterprise that mainly operates heavy-duty trucks, heavy-duty vehicles, medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty off-road vehicles, buses, as well as engines and chassis, axles and auto parts and other related fields, which shows its financial strength.
Unlike other wealthy people, Liu Deyi is always active, including but not limited to major forums, Weibo, Zhihu, and even major live broadcast rooms. In short, wherever there is popularity, he will appear, and his appearance must be for his youngest son who has been missing for twenty-three years.
"Hello, host."
He picked up a photo frame with great care. The photos in it had turned yellow due to their age.
This photo is a family portrait of four people.
Twenty-three years ago, Liu Deyi was still quite young, handsome and elegant with a mixed-race look. Of course, he is now like a wine soaked in time, mellow but with more connotation.
Next to him was another young and intellectual lady, wearing a white hat that was popular at the time. She looked like a blooming white rose, brilliant and full of vitality.
To their left is a boy who looks very similar to Liu Deyi, about eight years old. The boy is holding his four-year-old brother's left hand, and both of them are looking at the camera curiously.
The picture was frozen on February 18th, twenty-three years ago.
Liu Deyi placed the photo frame in front of the camera and pointed to the youngest boy. "This is my youngest son," he said. "His name is Liu Guangming. He was just four years old when the photo was taken. He's twenty-seven now."
"I remember it very clearly. The day after the photos were taken, my wife and I were at work. Our older son was at school, and our younger son was in the care of a nanny. But who knew that the nanny, blinded by profit, and her family planned a kidnapping. During this process, the child accidentally got lost. Even though we promptly reported it to the police, we were never able to find him."
He sighed. "Host, whether you can help find him today or not, I'm very grateful. May I ask if my child is still alive? Is he okay?"
At the end, Liu Deyi spoke in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid that his words would bring bad luck to the child.
Xiao Yan looked at the photo carefully, but the picture was too blurry.
"Are there any clearer photos?" Xiao Yan asked.
Liu Deyi had already prepared himself for disappointment, but he was still unwilling to give up any possibility.
"This is the clearest one we've managed to preserve. Without a photo, can we use the birth date?"
"Okay, send it to me privately."
Liu Deyi acted quickly and started to tell fortunes as soon as Xiao Yan received his birth date and horoscope.
It’s still the familiar old actor - Eraser.
[Zhengyi: ...Host, if it really doesn't work out, we can crowdfund and buy you a dice. There's really no need to be so shabby.]
[WETHER: The anchor is clearly embarrassed, why am I so embarrassed?]
[Popfish: Host, please be more respectful in your conduct.]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were still trying to persuade him, but Xiao Yan was a little bit unbelievable.
Unwilling to believe in evil, Xiao Yan cast another divination, which made Liu Deyi unable to sit still.
"Anchor, could it be that Guangming..."
Xiao Yan looked at the hexagram and was a little surprised: "Don't be sad yet, I was just too surprised, so I started a new hexagram."
He put the eraser aside and said, "Mr. Liu, congratulations, your child is doing well now."
Liu Deyi didn't quite believe it, but this made him feel a little comforted: "Really?"
"Yes, according to the hexagram, your child met a noble person not long after he went missing, and now lives a prosperous life, even richer than you."
[Are you there? Look at the cat:!!! I don’t believe it! It must be made up! It must be!]
[Looking up at the stars: It must be fake!]
[Yun Hui: "After getting lost in a wealthy family, I was adopted by a wealthy man"]
[Ice Cream: Isn't it to comfort this old man?]
Liu Deyi also felt that this sounded fake.
"Where is he now?"
Xiao Yan inserted a piece of apple into himself and said: "It needs to be prepared. This is a different price."
Learning from the previous experience, Xiao Yan decided to add money to cast the spell, otherwise who would be responsible for the mental effort consumed? Of course, it depends on the specific situation.
[Wang Shanzhi: Here it comes, the ultimate plan is revealed!]
[Mang Xin: Host, your Yan State map is too short]
[Yanyun: The anchor finally revealed his true colors!]
[Diao: When the streamer returned the gift, I thought he was a conscientious person. I didn't expect that this wasn't a conscientious act, but a way to catch a bigger fish!]
[钅呙哥: What are you talking about? You guys think it’s Chinese cabbage?]
Liu Deyi was already very disappointed and thought that Xiao Yan's purpose was to cheat him out of money, but he didn't lack the money and just hoped that he could really find his child.
It is difficult to empathize with the pain if you are not the person involved, not to mention that money is just a number to him.
"How much do you need?"
Xiao Yan also inquired about the price. In this business, it is naturally best not to have a fixed price.
"No rush, find someone first, and then you can give it to me after you find him."
After hearing this, Liu Deyi felt revived.
Could it be that this young man is really capable?
"Should we do it privately, or right here?"
Liu Deyi was also confused at this time.
On the one hand, in the 23 years of searching for his son, he had encountered too many scammers. If he were in a live broadcast room, at least there would be viewers to help him watch.
On the other hand, if this person is truly capable, wouldn't that expose his son's privacy? Not to mention, even if he does find the person, wouldn't his son disown him? After all, according to this person, his son's current family is even more affluent than his own. Wouldn't this lead to his son eventually resenting him?
I was conflicted, but the fact was clear: my love for my child overcame everything.
"Let's do it privately. Send me your phone number and I'll add you."
[Asano: No! Don't be fooled!]
[YemianOO: I understand the old man’s idea. This is to protect the child.]
[Fairy Tale: Am I the only one wondering, if we finally find this child, will he be willing to come back? He's incredibly wealthy! Will this old man hurt the child?]
[It’s better to paint the heart than the person: I think the old man is a bit selfish. For his own selfish desires, he made the child face such a difficult choice. The child has never felt any affection for the old man, and now he has to go through this.]
[Husky: You sound nice, but if the other person is having a hard time, you'd have a different opinion.]
As usual, the live camera and sound were turned off, and Liu Deyi also went offline.
Xiao Yan received a friend request, and after it was approved, the video followed.
"Mr. Liu, is your wife home now?"
"Yes, do you need her to come with you?" Liu Deyi asked.
Xiao Yan nodded. "Generally speaking, finding someone requires a medium. Your child has been separated from you for too long, and the items he left behind contain very little energy. However, your longing for your child is the best energy medium."
"What do you and your wife usually do when you miss your children? Let me give you an example. Some parents miss their children by looking at their toys, something like that."
Liu Deyi subconsciously stroked the photo: "When I miss my child, I will look at this photo, as if I am back to the time when he was naughty and mischievous..."
Xiao Yan waited for him to finish, "Okay, then this is the photo. Please ask your wife to come along, and then prepare a bowl of raw rice, place three incense sticks on it, and prepare a bowl of water."
Liu Deyi called his wife and asked the housekeeper to prepare these things.
Ms. Sun is now an old woman with almost gray hair. Unlike the young and bright girl in the photo, she now has a very peaceful aura around her, like a calm lake that can accommodate everything.
After hearing what her husband said, Ms. Sun didn't say much and quickly came down with a telescope with peeling paint.
In fact, they have no idea how many times they have prayed to gods and Buddhas to find their child over the years.
This time, it was a repeat of what happened before.
Following Xiao Yan's instructions, Liu Deyi held the photo frame and recited the child's name. Unbeknownst to them, as the spell was cast, the causal connection between them and the child quietly became clearer.
In the picture, a man wearing a navy blue hand-made tailor-made suit seems to be in a meeting with someone.
His conversation is extraordinary, and the calmness and confidence in his words show that he received a good education since childhood. Only a family with a solid foundation can cultivate such an outstanding talent.
There were obviously many people talking, but when Ms. Sun heard the young man speaking, her eyelashes trembled suddenly and a crystal clear tear meandered down.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
Ms. Sun could no longer remain calm. Her eyes were red. "Master, where is my child? I heard his voice! He is my child!"
Even though they hadn't seen each other for so many years, she had a feeling that told her that it was her child!
Liu Deyi's eyes were also blurred with tears at this moment.
He supported his wife and took the phone off the table. "Master, please tell me where my child is! I know he hasn't had any feelings for us over the years, and this is very cruel to him, but no matter what choice he makes, I support him. Just let me see him once, seriously!"
Human desires are never easily satisfied.
At first, they hoped to find him back, but as time went by, they just wanted him to be alive. But now that they know of his existence, they want to see him again.
Xiao Yan did not intend to interfere with the choice between them and their children. Although he knew that the result would be good, human destiny is not static. Perhaps something will change destiny, and no one can guarantee it, so sometimes it is good to let nature take its course.
Xiao Yan sent the video to them.
"The young people in this video are your children."
Liu Deyi and Ms. Sun clicked it quickly.
In an instant, the tears became more violent, and she didn't even know when Xiao Yan hung up the video.
[Lianzhi: The anchor is back? Where's the old man?]
[My Pants: Is this even necessary? Waiting for the anchor to fall apart!]
[钅呙哥哥: When the old man didn't show up, I knew it was safe! Waiting for everyone here to get slapped in the face!]
[Ami: Is this true? Where's the old man? Come out and say something.]
[钅呙哥哥: The old man is busy recognizing his child, how could he have time to care about you?]
[No Wind Automatic: Could it be that you can’t make it up anymore?]
