CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 55: GOOD GRIEF!

"Daoist priest, I know I was wrong!"

"I’m willing to change... I’m willing to change..."

"I don’t want to harm my aunt, nor do I want to end up in jail..."

Zhang Lingling said tearfully.

"If you’re willing to change now, then everything is still in time."

Hearing this, Lu Heng was very pleased and felt his efforts were not in vain.

"You should know what to do now, right?"

He continued asking.

Zhang Lingling nodded repeatedly: "I know, I’ll cut off ties with those past disreputable friends."

"I’m going to study hard and not let my aunt down."

"I won’t cause trouble at school anymore, won’t complain about my aunt’s nagging, won’t..."

When Zhang Lingling resolutely decided to correct her rebellious ways and change her future, Lu Heng received a response.

[System Notification: The host has successfully altered the Heavenly Dao, currently absorbing Life Span. Please check later...]

"Very good!"

"Just do as you said!"

Lu Heng nodded slightly.

At the same time, he glanced at the system interface.

The Life Span had increased from 26 to 41 points, which was a decent effect.

"Thank you, Daoist priest!"

"Once I’ve corrected these bad habits, I’d like to become your disciple..."

Zhang Lingling solemnly bowed to Lu Heng.

Then, she hung up the connection.

"Let’s welcome tonight’s second lucky viewer—’Searching for a Child for Ten Years, Never Gave Up’!"

After Zhang Lingling went offline, Lu Heng found the second fortune seeker of the night and sent an invitation for a connection.

Hearing this name, the viewers in the live stream were momentarily stunned.

"Wow! I have to say wow! This lottery is too smart, isn’t it?"

"I remember this guy posted about searching for a child on Weibo. Many people helped look for the child, but there still was no result."

"I think the guy’s surname is Zhang, right? After his son was abducted, he’s been searching for ten years, traveled across the country, and never gave up."

"Isn’t that touching? Daoist priest, please help him with the divination."

"Brother Zhang has come to the right place. I guess besides the human traffickers, only the Daoist priest knows the whereabouts of the child."

"Congratulations to Brother Zhang here, for finally being able to fulfill his wish."

"The Daoist priest should help more parents of abducted children."

"Exactly! The Daoist priest’s calculations are divine. He should catch the traffickers too!"

"The criminal law in Dragon Country is still too lenient; traffickers should be sentenced to death as an example!"

Lu Heng glanced at the barrage and, seeing the viewers’ discussions, learned the backstory.

It turns out this second fortune seeker is here to find a child.

This truly found the right place!

Yes, it’s indeed an intelligent lottery!

After sending the connection invitation, quite some time passed before it was accepted.

Subsequently, a weary-looking middle-aged man around thirty-seven or thirty-eight appeared in the live stream.

Beside him stood a middle-aged woman, full of anticipation.

"Young Friend Zhang, is it?"

Lu Heng asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, my name is Zhang Wenhai."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"I heard about Young Friend Zhang’s ten-year search for his child and am very moved."

"Tonight, let me help Young Friend calculate where the child is..."

Lu Heng smiled as he spoke.

"Okay... alright!"

Zhang Wenhai hesitantly nodded.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman beside him was full of excitement and joy.

Seeing this couple with differing reactions, the viewers couldn’t help but frown.

"Why does Brother Old Zhang not seem excited at all?"

"Right, Sis is full of hope, but why does Brother still look so worried?"

"Maybe Brother has exhausted his hopes and is now calm like still water?"

"Brother Zhang, don’t worry, with the Daoist priest’s help, they’ll surely find the child’s whereabouts."

"I admire no one, not even the wall, but I admire the Daoist priest’s all-knowing calculations!"

The viewers had doubts, and so did Lu Heng.

Logically, having hope of finding the child should elicit some excitement.

Just like the middle-aged woman.

But Zhang Wenhai remained overly calm the entire time.

There was even a slight trace of resistance in his calmness.

What could be the cause of this?

Could it be that behind the child’s disappearance, something is hidden?

Lu Heng pondered silently.

He decided to observe Zhang Wenhai’s reactions further.

"Young Friend Zhang, you’re not a follower of my live stream, so you might not be aware of my fortune-telling rules."

"In my fortune-telling, if the person in question isn’t present, they must provide the date of birth of the person being divined."

"Therefore, could Young Friend Zhang provide the child’s date of birth?"

"Such as from the household registration or a birth certificate..."

Lu Heng said slowly.

"Well..."

Zhang Wenhai scratched his head at these words, a look of difficulty on his face.

"Young Friend Zhang, is there a problem?"

Lu Heng asked again.

"Daoist priest, we’re currently out of town."

"The household registration and the child’s birth certificate are at home, not with us."

At this point, the middle-aged woman beside him replied directly.

"Yes, yes, all those documents are at home, we didn’t bring them."

Zhang Wenhai nodded repeatedly, confirming this.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Heng nodded slightly, then continued: "Actually, just providing the child’s date of birth and name will suffice."

"You both should remember the child’s birth date and name, right?"

"We remember, we remember!"

The middle-aged woman quickly nodded, then recited the child’s name and date of birth several times.

While listening, Lu Heng observed Zhang Wenhai’s reaction.

When the middle-aged woman mentioned not having the household registration and birth certificate, a hint of joy flashed in Zhang Wenhai’s eyes.

Although it was fleeting, Lu Heng caught it.

And when the middle-aged woman stated the child’s name and date of birth, Zhang Wenhai showed a trace of panic.

Such a situation seems somewhat suspicious!

Logically, as the father of an abducted child, Zhang Wenhai should be eager to find the child.

But his current reaction clearly shows reluctance to cooperate and a lack of desire to find the child.

If you don’t want to find the child, why search for ten years?

"Let me see what secret you’re hiding!"

Lu Heng thought silently and summoned the Celestial Destiny System.

"System, search for this person’s past information!"

He chose not to inquire about the child but instead focused on Zhang Wenhai.

[System Notification: Searching past information will consume three days of the host’s life span. Do you want to continue?]

"Yes!"

Upon his confirmation, everything about Zhang Wenhai’s past experiences unfolded before his eyes.

After reviewing these past events, Lu Heng couldn’t help but gasp.

Wow!

This man turned out to be a fraud!
