"You inhaled something you shouldn't have last night."

"There's still a girl asleep in the hotel room."

The moment Chen Bufan uttered those words, the smile on the white-suited male celebrity's face froze instantly.

The chatter in the banquet hall also stopped.

Those who were just waiting to see him make a fool of himself all instinctively looked at him.

The male celebrity's name is He Jing.

Born from a traffic-driven background.

She became a sensation in the past two years with a historical drama series, gaining tens of millions of fans.

In front of the camera, she always appears clean, sunny, and gentle.

His public persona is that of a rare "pure and noble young master" in the entertainment industry.

But now.

His hand holding the champagne visibly trembled.

The wine sloshed out of the glass and spilled onto the cuffs of the white suit.

He Jing's face turned pale.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

He forced a smile.

"Master Chen, haven't you gone too far with this joke?"

Chen Bufan looked at him.

"Am I joking?"

He Jing's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly suppressed it.

"I rested at the film crew's hotel last night."

"The assistant and agent can both testify."

"You said there's a girl who hasn't woken up yet? What girl? Where's the evidence?"

The people around them gradually came to their senses.

Someone frowned.

Someone whispered.

Some people sneered.

"You can't just say things like that."

"He Jing is a top celebrity now. If he's really being slandered, the losses will be substantial."

"Young people will say anything to show off."

"Mr. Lu himself said that one cannot make arbitrary judgments in the Xuanmen (Taoist school). Isn't this just making arbitrary judgments?"

Hearing these voices, He Jing seemed to regain some confidence.

He looked at Chen Bufan with disdain.

"Do you know how strong my legal team is?"

"I can sue you for what you just said."

Chen Bufan nodded.

"Can."

He Jing was taken aback.

Chen Bufan continued:

"Before you file a lawsuit, send your agent to room 1307."

He Jing's face paled even more.

1307.

This room number, like a needle, pierced his eyes.

Chen Bufan's voice was calm.

"The girl is twenty-one years old."

"A minor internet celebrity on the Douyin short video platform."

I entered your room at 11:47 last night.

He lost consciousness at 1:26 a.m.

"He's still lying at the bathroom door."

"She's not dead."

"But if it drags on for another half hour, things might get complicated."

In the banquet hall, no one laughed anymore.

He Jing's lips trembled slightly.

"You...you investigated me?"

Chen Bufan ignored him and turned to look at Lu Changsheng.

"Are all the guests you invited this filthy?"

Lu Changsheng stood not far away, a faint smile still on his face.

He didn't look at He Jing.

He only looked at Chen Bufan.

"Mr. Chen."

The more you talk, the bigger the trouble you'll get.

Chen Bufan smiled.

"Scared?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

"I'm afraid Mr. Chen won't be able to handle the situation."

Chen Bufan ignored him.

He turned around and looked at the jewelry store owner from before.

The woman is in her early forties.

She wore a dark green long dress.

She wore a pigeon blood ruby ​​necklace around her neck and a full-green jade bracelet on her wrist.

She just laughed with the most contempt.

The smile on her face immediately froze when Chen Bufan glanced at her.

"Master Chen, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Bufan said:

"Didn't you ask me to calculate how many more stores you could open?"

The jewelry store owner's eyes flickered.

"I was just joking."

"But I am not."

Chen Bufan looked at her.

"You were in a car accident three years ago."

"That day, you were the one who should have died."

The woman's expression changed.

"What car accident? I don't know what you're talking about."

Chen Bufan said calmly:

"The bridge across the river in the south of the city".

"Rainy Night".

"Hai A37888, Black Bentley".

"The truck lost control and crashed into us."

"Your driver died on the spot."

"You only broke one rib."

The woman's hand holding the handbag tightened instantly.

Many people present also remembered it.

Three years ago, jewelry queen Xu Man did indeed have a car accident.

News reports at the time said she was lucky to be sitting on the right side of the back seat and escaped a fatal impact.

The driver tragically passed away.

Later, Xu Man publicly compensated the driver's family with a large sum of money, establishing herself as a "kind and righteous female boss".

Chen Bufan looked at her.

"What, are you just lucky to be alive?"

Xu Man's face turned pale.

"Mr. Chen, the deceased has passed away."

"Don't you think it's immoral to use dead people as a pretext?"

Chen Bufan sneered.

"Immoral?"

"Three days before the car accident, you took a substitute death talisman from the Longevity Foundation."

"The talisman was buried under the driver's seat."

"So when the truck crashed into you, all the deathly energy that should have landed on you landed on the driver instead."

Xu Man seemed to have been hit by a bullet, and her whole body went limp. She still managed to support herself on the table with both hands.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Chen Bufan said:

"After the driver dies, give his family five million."

"We bought out their right to cause trouble."

"And they even had the press release portray you as a loyal and righteous person."

"Xu Man, you didn't get this life by chance."

"It was bought."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall had completely reached freezing point.

Some people were already looking at Xu Man with suspicion.

Xu Man's lips trembled.

"Where's the evidence?"

"Besides asking for evidence, can any of you say anything else?"

Chen Bufan glanced at the crowd.

"OK."

"continue."

His gaze fell on a real estate tycoon.

The man was in his fifties, with a slightly protruding belly, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a string of black Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.

As he just mentioned, Mr. Lu gave Chen Bufan a chance, but Chen Bufan didn't appreciate it.

When Chen Bufan saw this, his face suddenly darkened.

"Chen Bufan".

I advise you to think this through.

"I am Sun Taihe, Chairman of Taihe Real Estate."

"If you dare to make any more accusations, I'll make sure you receive a lawyer's letter tomorrow."

Chen Bufan looked at the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.

"The string of beads in your hand is not a Buddhist rosary."

Sun Taihe's eyes twitched.

"What else could it be but Buddhist prayer beads?"

"The bone powder from the seven workers who died on the construction site was pressed into wooden beads to make a wealth-attracting bead."

Sun Taihe's expression changed drastically.

The people around immediately made way for them.

Some people looked grim.

Someone subconsciously glanced at the string of black beads in his hand.

Sun Taihe suddenly gripped the Buddhist prayer beads tightly.

"absurd!"

"I've been a Buddhist for many years, how dare you slander me like this?"

Chen Bufan said:

"Seven workers died in the Taihe City project in the western suburbs within three years."

"Two people fell from the building."

"One tower crane accident."

"One person gets an electric shock."

"Three concrete sections collapsed."

"The more someone dies, the smoother the project approval process becomes."

"Every time you lose money, your project moves one step forward."

Sun Taihe's temple veins throbbed.

"Construction site accidents are very common!"

"Which company hasn't had its share of accidents?"

Chen Bufan nodded.

Accidents are common.

"But after the seven people died, you kept the compensation to a minimum."

"If the family members come to cause trouble, you should hire someone to beat them up."

"When the media asks, you pay to suppress it."

"In the end, you asked Xuanqing Culture to be your 'project feng shui consultant,' and you staked the fates of seven people on this string of beads."

His voice turned cold.

"You risk your employees' lives to secure project success."

"Are you doing well with your investments now?"

Sun Taihe's hand trembled.

The prayer beads snapped.

Black beads rolled all over the ground.

One of them cracked open, and a little grayish-white powder seeped out from inside.

Someone screamed in the banquet hall.

Sun Taihe's face was ashen, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

"You...you..."

Chen Bufan didn't look at him again.

He looked at Mr. Zheng, the chairman of Shenghua Medical, who had just spoken to him.

Chairman Zheng was initially trying to remain calm.

It was clear that when Chen Bufan turned his gaze, the smile on his face had completely vanished.

"Mr. Chen."

"I was just joking."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Chen Bufan said coldly:

"Didn't you want to know how much your life is worth?"

Chairman Zheng's throat moved.

Chen Bufan said:

"Your life was extended by the lifespans of seventeen children in the orphanage."

boom.

This statement is harsher than any of the previous ones.

Even the expressions of Lu Changsheng's assistants changed slightly in the banquet hall.

Chairman Zheng slammed his fist on the table.

"Chen Bufan!"

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Chen Bufan looked at him.

"Shenghua Medical has a long-term sponsored children's rehabilitation center."

"On the surface, it's about helping children with congenital heart disease."

"Actually, you're filtering out the destiny chart from it."

"Those who are tough enough to survive, stay."

"Those with weak fate, please leave."

"Seventeen of those children were used to prolong your life."

Chairman Zheng's face turned pale, but his eyes turned fierce.

Do you know what you're saying?

Chen Bufan said:

"I know."

"You know that too."

"After your first heart transplant, the doctors said you had at most three years to live."

"It's been six years now."

"You go to the Chang Sheng Foundation for a 'charity retreat' every year."

"Every time the quarantine ends, several children at the rehabilitation center experience a worsening of their condition."

Mr. Zheng's lips began to turn purple.

"It wasn't me..."

"These are all normal medical losses..."

"Those children were already sick!"

Chen Bufan's eyes were unusually sharp.

"So in your eyes, they deserved to die?"

Chairman Zheng fell silent.

Chen Bufan said:

"You deserve to die."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zheng felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

He staggered back half a step.

The way the people around him looked at him changed; their gazes were now filled with doubt, disgust, and even a hint of revulsion.

Although not many people here are clean.

However, the idea of ​​prolonging the lifespan of orphans to treat illnesses still evokes instinctive fear in many people.

Chen Bufan continued walking forward.

This time, he looked at a woman wearing a dark blue cheongsam.

The woman is around fifty years old and takes very good care of herself.

A young man stood beside her, who seemed to be her new boyfriend.

The woman noticed Chen Bufan looking at her, and her expression instantly turned ugly.

"Mr. Chen, I have no grudge against you."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Chen Bufan said calmly:

"You have no grudge against me."

"But what about your husband and daughter?"

The woman's wine glass fell to the ground with a "clatter".

Chen Bufan said:

You were not destined for great wealth.

"After marrying into the Liang family, she disliked her husband's incompetence and her daughter's burden."

"Ten years ago, you had someone perform a ritual to sever ties with your family in exchange for wealth."

"Use your husband's career success and your daughter's good fortune with children to exchange for your own financial success."

The woman trembled.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"My daughter has a health problem; it's congenital!"

Chen Bufan looked at her.

"She wasn't born unable to have children."

"You're the one who cut off her chance to have children."

"Your husband didn't go bankrupt naturally."

"You used his career success to pave the way for your own jewelry brand."

"Mrs. Liang".

"The better your business has been these past few years, the worse your daughter's health has become."

"Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

The woman's lips trembled, and even the thick makeup on her face couldn't hide her deathly pallor.

The young man next to her instinctively released her hand.

In the banquet hall, no one dared to speak anymore.

They were just mocking Chen Bufan for not knowing how to appreciate kindness.

Now, everyone is afraid of Chen Bufan looking at them.

Because he wasn't looking at the face.

It's the dirty stuff in my destiny.

It is the evil they hide behind money, power, charity, and respectability.

The hall was filled with people in gorgeous clothes.

The hall was filled with distinguished guests.

In Chen Bufan's eyes, they were nothing more than a hall full of evil lives.

Lu Changsheng finally clapped softly.

The applause was not loud.

But it made everyone turn to look at him.

Lu Changsheng continued to smile.

"Wonderful."

"Mr. Chen's ability to predict fate is indeed well-deserved."

He walked slowly to Chen Bufan.

"But, Mr. Chen..."

"You've said so much."

"Is there any evidence?"

Upon hearing this, the person who had just been exposed by Chen Bufan seemed to have finally grasped at a straw.

He Jing was the first to react.

"right!"

"Where's the evidence?"

"You say there's a girl in my room, where's your proof?"

Xu Man also shrieked:

"A substitute death charm? Hand it over!"

Sun Taihe's face turned ashen.

"The construction site accident was dealt with long ago, what right do you have to bring up old grievances?"

Chairman Zheng sneered.

"All procedures for the children's rehabilitation center are legal."

"You're talking about prolonging life? Do you think the court will believe such nonsense?"

Mrs. Liang immediately added:

"Chen Bufan, you'd better wait for a lawyer's letter!"

The panicked crowd seemed to have regained their armor in the real world.

Yes.

Even if Chen Bufan's prediction is accurate, so what?

No evidence.

There was no recording.

There is no contract.

There is no transfer chain.

No police intervention was involved.

These things are mostly just talk within the realm of metaphysics.

In the real world, however, it's not fate that can kill.

It is evidence.

Lu Changsheng looked at Chen Bufan with gentle eyes and a gentle voice.

"Mr. Chen."

"That's what I meant."

"You can see a lot of things."

"But you can't change the rules."

"Everyone here has a lawyer, a team, and resources."

"You say they are evil."

"Can."

"But if you want them to pay the price, you have to provide evidence."

He smiled slightly.

Do you have it?

In the banquet hall, everyone's eyes were once again on Chen Bufan.

Chen Bufan smiled too.

"have."

Lu Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly.

Chen Bufan looked at him.

"The evidence is on its way."

For the first time, the smile on Lu Changsheng's face faded slightly.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the guild hall.

Immediately following was the sound of security personnel trying to stop them.

"This is private property; you cannot enter!"

"Please show me the search warrant!"

next second.

A clear, cool female voice rang out.

"Criminal Investigation Detachment of Haicheng Public Security Bureau"

"To carry out duties in accordance with the law."

The banquet hall doors were pushed open from the outside.

boom!

Lin Wanqing, dressed in a black coat, strode in with more than a dozen police officers.

Her gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on Lu Changsheng and Chen Bufan.

"Everyone."

"Stay where you are."

"Cooperate with the investigation."
