Chapter 36 My eyes can see the future

"What!?" Shen Lingxue was shocked. "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Does Fang Xiu have the ability to foresee the future?"

Li Wenhao nodded. "Our monitoring equipment is professional-grade. Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao are ordinary people, and the possibility of them discovering they were being monitored is almost zero, so we can rule out the possibility of them acting during the phone call.

Furthermore, Fang Xiu said something just now."

At this point, Li Wenhao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"What did he say?" Shen Lingxue asked.

"He said that two guests will be coming soon."

"What!? Two guests? Could he be talking about..."

The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Li Wenhao spoke slowly, "Fang Xiu's social circle is very narrow, and he is an orphan with no relatives visiting him. So, the guests he mentioned are most likely referring to you and me."

Shen Lingxue fell silent.

After a moment, she whispered, "Is there really such a thing as the ability to foresee the future? Even if there is, it shouldn't be present in a first-tier spiritual master."

"That's true," Li Wenhao nodded. "The more powerful the ability, the more restrictions it has. For example, the spatial ability user we interviewed earlier could teleport, but as a first-tier spiritual master, he could only teleport ten centimeters. After ten centimeters, his spiritual energy would be exhausted, and he would need to wait an hour before teleporting again.

One hour for ten centimeters, this teleportation ability is slower than a turtle.

If someone like him, a spatial ability user, wants to apply teleportation in combat, he would have to advance to the second tier at least.

If Fang Xiu has the ability to foresee the future, as a first-tier spiritual master, his situation should not be much better than that of the spatial user. Perhaps he can only predict what will happen in the next second, but he could predict that you and I would come to find him. How long ago was that?"

"Let's not jump to conclusions," Shen Lingxue said solemnly. "Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe someone from the Bureau leaked our whereabouts."

"Detective Shen, what do you think would happen if we didn't go see Fang Xiu today? Wouldn't his prophecy be broken?" Li Wenhao suddenly suggested.

Shen Lingxue gave him a look that made him feel like an idiot. "Our mission is to investigate Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao. Now that he's made just one phone call, you're suggesting we don't go? How will you explain to Director Wang when you go back?

What if this is all a trap designed by Fang Xiu? Wouldn't we be laughed at in the future?"

Stolen story; please report.

"Furthermore, if Fang Xu really can predict the future, how much of an impact do you think he would have after joining the investigation bureau? You must know that, right?"

Li Wenhao chuckled awkwardly. "I just said it casually. I wanted to see if his predictive ability is really that accurate. Of course we have to go."

"Let's go." Shen Lingxue opened the car door. A light breeze blew, causing her hair to stick to her fair cheeks.

"I really want to see if this ability to predict the future is true or false."

The two of them got out of the car and walked straight to Fang Xu's home. When they climbed up 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 looked at each other, unsure if Fang Xu had predicted their arrival or if he just forgot to close the door.

When they entered the room, they saw a handsome man with a fit figure and a calm expression making tea.

It was Fang Xu.

Three teacups were placed on the coffee table, one in front of Fang Xu and the other two next to him. The tea cups were still steaming, indicating that the water had just boiled.

When they saw the teacups, Shen Lingxue and Li Wenhao were shocked.

Was it really predictive ability? Or was there surveillance outside the community?

At this moment, Fang Xu spoke up.

"Miss Shen, Mr. Li, please sit down."

As soon as he spoke, the shock on their faces grew stronger.

They were sure that this was the first time they had met Fang Xu, and before this, they didn't even know each other.

Moreover, as members of the investigation bureau, their identities were confidential and could not be accessed by Fang Xu.

Shen Lingxue was bold and fearless. She took the lead and sat on the sofa, scrutinizing Fang Xu.

"How do you know our surnames? And how do you know we were coming?"

Ignoring Shen Lingxue's scrutiny and suspicion, Fang Xu calmly said, "My eyes can see the future."

Upon hearing Fang Xu's admission, a tsunami of shock surged through the minds of both Shen Lingxue and Li Wenhao. However, despite being stunned, Shen Lingxue's doubts remained.

"You can see the future? How can you prove it?" she asked.

"Both of you are agents of the Investigation Bureau. You came here for two reasons: to investigate the strange area of Bai Liu Academy, and to assess my and Zhao Hao's abilities to determine if we are qualified to join the Bureau," Fang Xu replied calmly.

"Mr. Fang, this doesn't prove that you can predict the future. It's easy to guess our reasons for coming here if you had prior knowledge of the Bureau," Li Wenhao shook his head and said.

Fang Xu turned his gaze towards Li Wenhao and continued calmly, "You have always had a crush on Shen Lingxue and have already written a love letter, which you kept in the left pocket of your jacket. The content of the letter is, 'Lingxue, when you read this letter, I am probably already dead. There is something I have always wanted to say to you.'"

"Stop!" Li Wenhao stood up abruptly, his face turning red as he stopped Fang Xu.

Shen Lingxue looked at Li Wenhao in surprise.

Li Wenhao hurriedly explained, "Shen Investigator, you know me. Fang Xu is just talking nonsense. I didn't write a love letter, I-"

"That's enough." Shen Lingxue gestured for Li Wenhao to calm down.

"I have received many love letters since I was young. I wouldn't be surprised if you did something like that. However, from what you said, it seems like you were planning to tell me in case of your death. That surprised me, but it's impossible between us."

Li Wenhao's face turned redder, "I know, I just-"

"So, did you really write a love letter? Let me see it," Shen Lingxue extended her hand.

"I-I-"

"What 'I'? I want to see if the content is the same as what Fang Xu said!" Shen Lingxue said sternly.

Helpless, Li Wenhao took out an envelope from the left pocket of his jacket and handed it to Shen Lingxue. She quickly scanned the first few lines of the letter and her shock grew stronger because the words were exactly the same as what Fang Xu had said.

She threw the letter back to Li Wenhao and stared straight at Fang Xu, "Knowing the contents of the love letter doesn't prove that you can predict the future. After all, the letter was not written in the future, but in the past."
