Chapter 121 - 119: Could There Really Be a Twist?

After listening to Sixth Uncle’s story, Lu Heng wasn’t as moved as Xiongxiong Yue’Er and the fans.

On the contrary, he even felt that the other party had concealed many points and was vague at some important places.

The most straightforward point is about his wife eloping with another man.

If everything was as Sixth Uncle said, his wife couldn’t move due to a leg injury and stayed home.

Then how did his wife come to associate with a third party?

More importantly, why did his wife elope with the man, taking their two sons?

These two sons were not little children, but teenagers about to attend high school.

Lu Heng had never heard of a woman eloping with two nearly adult sons...

Of course, these are just his assumptions.

After all, the world is full of wonders.

Maybe she just couldn’t leave without the two older boys?

"Yue’Er, you should know my fortune-telling rules as a Taoist."

"If the person is not present, they need to show their ID card."

"If there’s no ID, a name and birth date will do."

"If neither is available, then there’s nothing I can do."

Lu Heng slowly said.

"I know, Taoist!"

Xiongxiong Yue’Er nodded lightly, then turned to ask Sixth Uncle, "Sixth Uncle, do you remember your two sons’ birth dates?"

"Well... I don’t remember."

Sixth Uncle was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly explained, "I injured my head while working before, and I’ve forgotten many things, so I can’t remember some."

"Oh, is that so!"

Xiongxiong Yue’Er nodded slightly and asked again, "Then do you still have your sons’ ID cards?"

"If you have their ID, the Taoist can help find their whereabouts."

"No."

Sixth Uncle shook his head again, saying softly, "They took the IDs with them when they went out to work."

"Then do you have a household book? Doesn’t that contain identity information?"

Xiongxiong Yue’Er asked again.

"I have a household book, but the pages for my wife and sons were torn out long ago."

Sixth Uncle still shook his head.

"No ID, no household book..."

Upon hearing this, Xiongxiong Yue’Er frowned slightly, seeming a bit troubled.

The fans watching couldn’t help but show expressions of disbelief.

"Damn, he knows nothing, he has nothing, how could anyone divine from that?"

"Earlier, Sixth Uncle’s story indeed moved me, but I really want to ask, why doesn’t a father remember his sons’ birth dates?"

"Yeah, aren’t there very few fathers who wouldn’t remember their children’s birthdays?"

"Didn’t Sixth Uncle say he injured his head while working?"

"Isn’t that strange? If he really forgot a lot, why did he remember the past so clearly just now?"

"Isn’t it quite normal? Sometimes people remember certain important events particularly well."

"My great-grandfather is over ninety, and although he’s forgotten many things, he still remembers the scene when he married my great-grandmother."

"This Sixth Uncle remembers his wife eloping but not his sons’ birth dates?"

"Isn’t he looking for his sons? They should be very important to him, how could he forget their birth dates?"

"Yeah, something doesn’t add up here!"

"Damn, will there be another twist?"

"I don’t think so, who would dare lie in front of a Taoist?"

"Did you forget about Black Hand Brother Gang earlier?"

"As soon as I hear Black Hand Brother Gang, I feel like laughing. I can’t help it, I need to step out and laugh for a bit..."

Lu Heng glanced at the comments and nodded slightly.

It seems the fans aren’t fools either, and quickly picked up on some inconsistencies.

"Maybe I should just read Sixth Uncle’s fortune first?"

"See what he’s really hiding?"

Lu Heng felt tempted in his heart.

However, he didn’t immediately summon the Celestial Destiny System.

He was curious to see what tricks Sixth Uncle would still play.

On the screen, Xiongxiong Yue’Er still frowned her delicate brows.

Meanwhile, Sixth Uncle was muttering to himself, "Ever since my wife ran off with our two sons, my health collapsed."

"No work, no money, I can’t even have a proper meal each day."

"The clothes I’m wearing now I picked out from a garbage dump."

"In winter, the house is drafty, and my hands and feet are frozen and rotten."

"Everyone, please show some mercy, donate some money..."

Seeing him depict such a miserable condition, the fans felt even more suspicious instead of moved.

"I still feel something’s off!"

"If he really was this miserable, normally the village should have applied for welfare for him!"

"Damn, there’s apparently a lot more going on here!"

"Here’s the problem, given Sixth Uncle’s situation, he could definitely apply for welfare, but why didn’t the village do it?"

"Yue’Er is still too young, probably got tricked by this old man!"

"Could there really be a twist?"

"This old man is probably a fraud! He sees Yue’Er is young and wants to scam some money from her!"

"Eighty percent that’s it, otherwise how does what he says not make any sense?"

The more the fans discussed, the more suspicious they became.

Just now, everyone was standing by Sixth Uncle, condemning his runaway wife and unfilial two sons.

But now, everyone has suddenly realized and sees him as a fraud, speaking without any reservation.

Lu Heng just gave a faint smile and didn’t mind.

He had already learned a lesson in his previous life.

And that is to never believe a one-sided story!

And never decide where to stand too early!

At this moment, Xiongxiong Yue’Er also saw the barrage from the viewers.

She also gradually noticed something was wrong.

After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Sixth Uncle, do you remember your wife’s birthdate?"

"If you do, perhaps we can calculate something about your wife."

"Since she left with the two children, finding her is equivalent to finding your two sons."

Sixth Uncle listened, hesitated for a moment, but eventually shook his head.

Xiongxiong Yue’Er was speechless immediately.

Not knowing anything, how could this possibly be calculated?

Even though the Taoist is praised as the "Immortal Taoist," he can’t just calculate out of nothing!

At that moment, Sixth Uncle suddenly kneeled on the ground, kowtowing to the phone screen.

"I beg the Taoist to help me!"

"I can’t eat, can’t wear warm clothes, and I’m sick. I can only rely on my son to take care of me in my old age."

"If you can help me find my son, I’ll be at your service in the next life..."

Seeing this scene, Xiongxiong Yue’Er hurried forward to support him and said, "Sixth Uncle, please don’t fret!"

"If there’s no concrete information, there’s no way to find the whereabouts of your two sons."

"Why not think carefully again to see if you can recall your wife’s or your sons’ birthdates?"

"My brain is useless, I really can’t remember!"

"Help me out, please!"

"I’m so hungry I’m about to chew on tree bark..."

Sixth Uncle suddenly smashed his head with his fist, appearing delirious.

Xiongxiong Yue’Er was so frightened she stepped back two steps, not even daring to take her phone.

Seeing this, Lu Heng frowned slightly.

This display of acting out seems like he has nothing left to lose.

"Forget it, let me see what kind of person you really are!"

He silently called upon the Celestial Destiny System in his heart.

Then, he focused his eyes on Sixth Uncle, and thought: "System, query this person’s past information!"

[System prompt: Querying past information will consume three days of the host’s lifespan, do you wish to continue?]

The system’s voice instantly echoed in his ear.

"Yes!"

As he confirmed, everything Sixth Uncle experienced in the past began to flash before him.

After seeing his past, Lu Heng really wanted to say two words...

Serves you right!

Pitiful people must have some repulsive traits!

This saying might not always be accurate.

But in the case of Sixth Uncle, it’s a perfect fit.

At the same time, he also wanted to say: How shameless some people can be!

"Sixth Uncle, in front of a humble Taoist like me, there’s no need for acting!"

Lu Heng said coldly and loudly.

These words immediately made Xiongxiong Yue’Er freeze in surprise.

The person involved, Sixth Uncle, also instinctively stopped his antics.

However, the viewers instead became more excited.

"Haha, the Taoist must have found something out!"

"This old thing refusing to disclose the situation of his wife and sons clearly has something to hide!"

"Didn’t he just say he didn’t know his sons’ birthdates? How did the Taoist figure it out?"

"Don’t need to calculate his sons or wife then!"

"Exactly, maybe the Taoist just calculated him directly."

"Popcorn is ready, just waiting for the Taoist to expose this old thing!"

"This old guy is disgusting, trying to fool the innocent Yue’Er!"

"Haha, didn’t you see he was trying to get us to donate just now?"

Upon seeing Lu Heng take action, all the viewers immediately showed their stance.

"Taoist, what are you saying?"

"I don’t understand!"

"I’m not acting, I really want to see my sons!"

Sixth Uncle quickly returned to his previous state.

At the side, Xiongxiong Yue’Er remained silent.

Even if she were naive, she realized she had stepped on a landmine!

After all, compared to Sixth Uncle in front of her, she was more inclined to believe in the "Immortal Taoist" in the live stream.

Lu Heng smiled faintly, and slowly said, "You indeed want to see your two sons!"

"However, it’s not because of familial affection, but because you want to find them to support you in old age."

"Or rather, you don’t desire sons; you just want a tool to rely on for old age!"

"Dao...Taoist, what do you mean?"

"I don’t understand!"

On hearing this, Sixth Uncle’s eyebrow twitched, and his facial expression suddenly changed...
