Chapter 202: 【202】The Enemy, Lies Within Not Without_1
Tang Feng shook his head.
But the more he behaved like this, the more dubious Zhou Kai became.
“By the way, Mr. Zhou, what did you want to ask me about today?” Tang Feng switched the topic before he could continue to pry.
That reminded Zhou Kai of the real issue at hand, “Oh right, I’ve been feeling uneasy lately, as if something bad is about to happen, but I can’t quite figure it out.”
“I asked you to come over today to see if you could help look into it.”
“Feeling uneasy?” Tang Feng had a strange expression. Is that supposed to be a reason?
Zhou Kai saw his skepticism and hurriedly explained, “I’ve been in business for half my life and have gradually developed an almost instinctual premonition.”
“Whenever I feel restless, something big usually happens within a few days.”
If someone else heard this, they’d probably just dismiss it as “superstition.”
But Tang Feng was engaged in the very trade of “feudal superstition,” so naturally, he couldn’t say that.
He quietly activated the scanning system.
“Scanning system engaged…”
“Name: Zhou Kai
Gender: Male
Age: 56
Height: 175cm
Weight: 78kg
Occupation: Businessman
Identity: Chairman of Qianda Group, Zhonghai City
Wealth: Calculating…”
When Tang Feng saw the wealth category stuck in calculation, he couldn’t help but be inwardly shocked.
Was Mr. Zhou’s wealth so vast that even the system needed so long to calculate it?
But he wasn’t particularly interested in that.
No matter how much money the man had, it all belonged to Zhou Bingrui and had nothing to do with him.
He promptly continued reading.
Zhou Kai, seeing Tang Feng silent for so long, thought he had some concerns, “Tang, if you have any worries, just speak up. If it’s within my power, I will help you sort it out.”
Tang Feng came back to his senses and smiled, waving his hand, “No concerns. It’s just that since you don’t know the source of this unease, I need to help you calculate everything including family, business, disasters, and so on. The workload is massive, and the backlash could be significant.”
At these words, Zhou Kai’s expression became grave, “There will be backlash?”
Tang Feng nodded, “Yes, divination and fortune telling are, after all, a divulgence of heaven’s secrets, which inevitably leads to backlash.”
Zhou Kai’s brows furrowed, “In that case, better not to do it.”
“It doesn’t have to go that far. Mr. Rui is a good friend of mine, and I’ll do my best to fulfill his requests.” Tang Feng said this with a blush creeping onto his old face.
In truth, he had already used the scanning system in combination with the Physiognomy System to calculate Zhou Kai’s situation.
But, of course, he needed to make the process sound more difficult; otherwise, how could he show the depth of his friendship?
Sure enough, both Zhou Kai and Zhou Bingrui were visibly moved by his words.
“Tang, for Rui to have a friend like you is his good fortune. Just make sure to prioritize your own safety and don’t hurt yourself,” Zhou Kai said earnestly.
“Okay.”
Tang Feng’s eyes began to dart around, looking for some props to assist.
Merely talking lacked a sense of ceremony.
Next time, he’d definitely prepare some compasses, wooden swords, or the like in advance – they were at least impressive to look at.
Finally, his gaze landed on the tableware in front of him, and an idea struck him; he took a plate and a spoon and placed them between the two of them.
The people at the table crowded around, curious to see how he would perform the divination.
Tang Feng looked up and felt a sense of achievement.
Those seated at this table today were well-known tycoons of Zhonghai.
If it had been in the past, they were people he would have had to look up to.
Little did he expect that one day he would be able to baffle these magnates.
“Mr. Zhou, try to recall that feeling of unease.”
As he spoke, Tang Feng flicked the handle of the spoon.
The enamel spoon immediately began to spin rapidly in the plate.
Zhou Kai did not dare to be negligent, revisiting that alarming sensation once more.
After about twenty seconds, the spinning of the spoon began to slow before finally coming to a stop.
“Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui – this direction is Li, Li represents fire, and fire harbors disaster…”
Tang Feng muttered to himself.
Everyone else didn’t dare to interrupt him, standing by in silence.
Tang Feng continued his hocus-pocus for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, “Mr. Zhou, your premonition is not wrong. In the near future, you will encounter treachery.”
Zhou Kai looked very serious, “Can you give me more details?”
Tang Feng pondered for a moment before continuing, “If I’m not mistaken, your company must have a major project coming up, right?”
Zhou Kai eagerly nodded, “That’s right; it’s a real estate project in collaboration with Zhongyu Group.”
Tang Feng proceeded to inquire, “This project, it must require a vast amount of funding, correct?”
Zhou Kai hesitated, “The specific funds, due to confidentiality agreements, cannot be disclosed at the moment, but yes, they are indeed substantial.”
“It can be said, this is the biggest project Qianda Group has had so far.”
A faint smile appeared on Tang Feng’s face, “Then there’s no mistake. The disaster you mentioned is exactly in this project.”
Zhou Kai’s face changed instantly, “You mean the project will run into problems? How is that possible?”
“I personally oversee this project, and I’ve made sure every single detail is scrutinized, there can’t be any problems.”
Tang Feng remained unperturbed and curled his lip, “Even a tiger nods off now and then, are you sure you’ve tended to every single detail yourself?”
“That…”
Zhou Kai found himself at a loss for words.
After all, he was the chairman of Qianda Group, generally only responsible for the overarching direction, with specific tasks left to others to handle.
Although he placed great importance on this project, he couldn’t truly manage every aspect by himself.
“Mr. Zhou, the divination I just performed for you hints at strife within your own ranks, the enemy lies within, not without.”
Tang Feng took on the airs of a sage, spouting some pretentious gibberish.
But it stunned all the bigwigs present.
Zhou Kai, in particular, seemed to have received an imperial edict, pondering over the hidden meanings in his words.
The enemy lies within, not without?
