I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 541 - 441: That’s it?_2

Sun Zhihai was also delighted and casually said to his son, "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing. I’m hungry and want a Xiao Wang brand ice cream."

BOOM!

As soon as the boy spoke, the entire dinner table fell silent.

In an instant, the smiles on the faces of Sun Zhihai and the others froze, replaced by immense horror. The shock in their hearts was indescribable. Even Sun Zhihai’s face turned pale.

Only then did everyone understand. Xia Liang’s final prediction hadn’t been about the television at all. It was about the very next thing Sun Zhihai’s youngest son was going to say!

What was most terrifying was that Sun Zhihai had just asked, "What are you doing here?" and his son had replied, "Nothing." In other words, if Sun Zhihai hadn’t asked that specific question, his son’s reply would have been completely different.

Xia Liang hadn’t just predicted what the little boy would say; he had anticipated Sun Zhihai’s question as well.

While one could bribe the nanny to secretly teach the child his lines, Sun Zhihai’s own words had been completely spontaneous.

"Alright, let the nanny take you to buy some."

His mouth dry, Sun Zhihai sent his son away and turned back to look at Xia Liang. Xia Liang, however, still wore a faint smile, as if nothing had happened at all.

Of everyone at the table, only Xia Liang continued to eat and drink, sipping his wine and nibbling on the dishes. He had already divined the trajectory of Sun Zhihai’s fate for the next thirty days. A simple conversation like this, of course, couldn’t escape his notice.

Only now did Sun Zhihai’s gaze toward Xia Liang turn truly serious. This Xia Liang was different from all the charlatans he had met before. Perhaps he was truly a great figure capable of foreseeing the future.

"Master Xia, you truly possess remarkable abilities. I am full of admiration. A toast to you, Master Xia." It was Director Qiu from the Security Bureau who recovered first. He raised his glass to Xia Liang, his eyes filled with respect.

After downing the drink, Xia Liang responded, "Director Qiu, you haven’t had a medical check-up in quite a while, have you?"

"That’s true. I’ve been so busy with work that I haven’t had a check-up in a long time. Master Xia, what are you implying?" Director Qiu asked, puzzled.

Xia Liang said calmly, "You should go get one in the next couple of days. Once it reaches the late stages, it’ll be too late to do anything."

"Understood," Director Qiu nodded solemnly.

Xia Liang’s meaning was crystal clear.

At the same time, Elder Sun Guoming laughed heartily and clapped his hands. "Master Xia is indeed Master Xia! I fear there’s nothing in this world that can escape your eyes."

After saying this, Elder Sun Guoming also toasted Xia Liang. After drinking the toast, Elder Sun Guoming, perhaps due to his advanced age, greeted everyone and went to the restroom.

Previously, Sun Zhihai would have likely made his move the moment Elder Sun Guoming left, but now, he was at a loss for words.

However, Sun Zhihai’s wife, Feng Juan, thought for a moment and then spoke up. "Master Xia, you certainly have real skills. But to be honest, you haven’t really done anything to help our family, yet you’ve taken a bracelet worth two million Yuan. Isn’t that a bit steep?"

Although Xia Liang guessing her son’s words had shocked her, she couldn’t help but speak up. After all, the bracelet was incredibly expensive. Besides, Xia Liang hadn’t actually helped the Sun Family with anything. If the gift was just to build a good relationship, two million Yuan was far too much.

Seeing Feng Juan speak, Xia Liang smiled, took the bracelet off his wrist, and said, "I told Elder Sun from the beginning that I was merely keeping this bracelet for you. If you want it, just take it."

Seeing the bracelet on the table, Feng Juan’s eyes sparkled. "Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

She reached for the bracelet, but Sun Zhihai stopped her hand. "It’s just a bracelet. I’ll buy you one. This already belongs to Master Xia; how can you ask for it back?"

After some thought, Sun Zhihai decided to stop his wife from stirring up trouble for now. After all, he now knew that Xia Liang was no mere charlatan.

At this, Feng Juan shot Sun Zhihai a fierce glare, left the table without another word, and cast a cold look at Xia Liang as she went.

"Master Xia, please, put the bracelet back on," Sun Zhihai said with an apologetic smile. "My wife is wonderful in every way, but she can be a bit materialistic. I hope you won’t take offense."

Xia Liang said nothing, simply sliding the bracelet back onto his wrist. "It’s a trivial matter. Commander Sun, I’m sure you didn’t invite me over just for a meal."

"We..." Sun Zhihai exchanged a look with Liu Yu and the two directors beside him. "We do have a favor to ask."

Just then, Elder Sun Guoming returned from the restroom. However, Sun Zhihai quickly ushered the old man to go rest on the side, as the matter they were about to discuss was of great importance.

"Go on, what is it?" Xia Liang said once the old man was out of earshot.

Sun Zhihai then gestured to Director Qiu with his eyes. Director Qiu immediately took a well-sealed file from his briefcase and handed it to Xia Liang.

Only then did Sun Zhihai speak. "A serial killer recently fled to Qingyun. This is his file."

Looking at the file placed before him, Xia Liang didn’t even move to open it. He just said indifferently, "Weren’t you close to catching him? How did he escape?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhihai and the others exchanged glances, surprise flickering in their eyes. They had kept this case tightly under wraps from the public, yet Xia Liang knew about it, even down to their failed attempt to capture the suspect. But then again, considering Xia Liang’s terrifying abilities, it would be stranger if he *didn’t* know.

When Xia Liang had previously used the System on Sun Zhihai, he had glanced at this killer’s trajectory of fate. In addition to learning everything about the man, Xia Liang had also done something else.

Seeing Xia Liang’s reaction, Sun Zhihai quickly explained, "It was our mistake. This serial killer has already committed more than a dozen murders in other cities. Now he’s fled to our Qingyun, and there have already been victims here. We haven’t disclosed the case to avoid causing a public panic."

Xia Liang still said nothing, simply continuing to eat.

After exchanging another look, Director Qiu from the Security Bureau took over. "So this time, we were hoping to ask Master Xia to perform a divination and help us find where this person is. For the past two days, our entire Qingyun City Security Bureau has been scrambling, but since he escaped, we haven’t found a single trace of him."

"That’s right. Commander Sun has been deeply troubled by this as well. We heard that Elder Sun knew a master, which is why we sought you out," Deputy Director Li chimed in.

Yet Xia Liang remained completely indifferent, continuing to eat his meal without so much as glancing at the file in front of him.

Sun Zhihai and the others understood that Xia Liang probably knew more than what was in the file. The real issue was likely that he was still displeased by their earlier disbelief.

With this in mind, Sun Zhihai raised his glass to Xia Liang again. After all, in all of Qingyun, Xia Liang was likely the only person who knew where the killer was hiding.

Liu Yu also chimed in at the right moment to smooth things over. "Master Xia, the higher-ups are taking this case very seriously. We’d be deeply grateful if you could help us this one time."

As soon as Liu Yu finished, Sun Zhihai took a bank card from his pocket and offered it to Xia Liang. "We know we can’t ask for your help for free, Master Xia. Please accept this as a small token of our sincerity. There isn’t much in it, only one Yuan, but we humbly ask that you perform a divination for us."

At this, Xia Liang finally moved. He pushed the bank card back to Sun Zhihai and said,
