Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 272 This is truly a ghost story!

The two did indeed become enemies in the end. This so-called good brother believed that Mr. Yang and his childhood sweetheart had been having an affair and had cheated on him. After making a scene with the two of them for a while, he was still not satisfied and even hired a group of thugs to cause trouble for them.

To protect his loved one, Mr. Yang fought with a group of thugs, and he still has a scar on his right hand from when he was stabbed.

After this incident, Xiao Qingmei finally saw through that person's true colors and thus confirmed her childhood sweetheart's feelings for her.

Their relationship quickly blossomed, and they soon tied the knot, remaining happily married to this day.

Uncle Yang, who had only been stunned for a moment before his secret was exposed, exclaimed: "!!!" Even his closest relatives might not know these things, so where did this little girl hear them from?!

Du Anrao glanced around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Mr. Xu, his brows furrowing slightly, his expression serious.

Even though Mr. Xu had never done anything wrong and did not have the "glorious" past of his colleagues, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, fearing that Du Anrao's shocking words would ruin his usual strict image and make it difficult for him to manage people in the future!
Fortunately, Du Anrao stared at him for a long time before finally managing to utter only one sentence.

"Your second grandfather's brother-in-law's second daughter's granddaughter became your second cousin's brother-in-law's nephew's daughter-in-law."

Everyone: "???" What the heck?
Mr. Xu: "..."

As the person involved and the object of everyone's curiosity, Mr. Xu took a long time to figure out who Du Anrao was talking about.

"...That's true." If this girl hadn't suddenly brought it up, he wouldn't have remembered that the two of them had this relationship. It's really strange!
"You don't actually think I investigated these things beforehand, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent. One or two even muttered to themselves, "Some of these things we ourselves don't even know. How can we find out just by looking them up?"
But if it weren't for the investigation, could this girl really be...?

In an instant, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Mr. Xu, clearly waiting for him to make a decision.

"I admit that what you just said is most likely true, but..."

"But what do you mean by 'but'? I trust our An'an. She has never messed up when it comes to important matters. Especially such an important matter, she would never speak carelessly. She must have really foreseen something."

"Old Du, this matter is of great importance. Even if she does have some ability, we still need more facts to prove it..."

Before Mr. Xu could finish speaking, Du Desheng interrupted him: "I already said it's something that will happen in the future. Where are you expecting her to find evidence for you?"

"No, it's not that there's no way."

As soon as Du Anrao said this, everyone in the room looked over in surprise.

In her view, the fact that the people present stopped being sarcastic about her previous remarks indicated that their attitude had softened.

Once her attitude softened, things became much easier for her.

“I understand the seriousness of this matter, and I know that it is indeed a bit difficult to make you believe me and agree on this matter immediately. Therefore, I have prepared some things in advance.” As soon as Du Anrao finished speaking, Du Miao’s loud voice came from outside: “Miss, I have brought you what you asked for.”

Before Du Anrao could speak, Du Desheng replied loudly, "Come in."

Du Anrao asked the butler to help him get a stack of documents that weren't very thick. When Mr. Xu and the others took the documents and looked at them, they found that they contained names, genders, occupations, locations, and... causes of death.
"This is……"

"Didn't I just say that in the near future, or in some place we don't know about, some people will be, or have already been, pulled into a parallel world for some specific reason? In that world, they need to complete some tasks and try to survive. Once they complete the tasks and survive, they can return to the real world; otherwise, they will die in that world. And the specific reason that pulls them into this other world is severe injury and near death."

"Seriously injured and on the verge of death?"

“That’s right.” Du Anrao stepped forward and pointed to a name on the file. “For example, this person was a nurse. One night, she was on her way home around three or four in the morning when a truck that was not following traffic rules drove in the wrong direction and she was in an accident…”

"Then she was pulled into that world."

"Yes, the flow rates in the two worlds are different. After being pulled into that world, she might have spent three or four days there before tragically dying. In our world, however, less than an hour might have passed, and we would see her being taken away by an ambulance, only to die en route to the hospital despite all efforts to save her."

Mr. Xu frowned slightly: "If she survives and completes her mission in that world, will she be able to survive in our world?"

“Yes. Take this one for example.” Du Anrao then pointed to another man’s name. “This man was the owner of a small company. Because his company encountered an economic downturn, his cash flow broke down, leading to the company’s bankruptcy. He was burdened with a huge debt that he could never repay in his lifetime. In a moment of despair, he found a high-rise rooftop and jumped off.”

"Suicide? And then he went in too?"

"Yes, but he was luckier than the nurse; he came out alive. So his jump turned out to be extremely lucky. He was stopped by the air conditioner unit on the ground floor and the tent roof of the shop on the ground floor. Not only was he not in mortal danger, but he also only suffered some minor injuries."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu and the others' expressions all darkened. These days, high-rise buildings with rooftops are at least five or six stories high. Even if it's only the lowest standard of five or six stories, it's a miracle that someone could jump from the top rooftop and only suffer minor abrasions.

If what Du Anrao said is true, then wouldn't this unknown force be able to easily control people's lives and deaths, deciding who lives and who dies? That would be truly terrifying.

"Oh, by the way, if they manage to come back alive, they'll receive some generous rewards. The rewards vary depending on the dungeon. Take this guy, for example; his reward for clearing the dungeon was a large sum of money, just enough to pay off his huge debt."

Mr. Yang, who was in charge of finance, narrowed his eyes slightly. Very well, since it is said to be a huge debt, then this reward, which is enough to repay the debt, must be very substantial. Large, unexplained transfers are worth noting!

Mr. Xu and the others quickly realized that the man had committed suicide because of debt, and the reward he received was money.

Is it a coincidence or an inevitability? Does this mysterious force select people randomly or is it selectively recruiting?

At that time, no one noticed that although they said they didn't believe it, they were all unconsciously following Du Anrao's rhythm in their thinking.
