Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

The moment his gaze pierced through the wooden counter, he saw the tangled web of electrical wires below.

At the junction of a bundle of wires, he saw a very faint, bright yellow flame, quietly burning on the insulation.

Because the wiring was enclosed inside the box, the smoke hadn't dissipated yet, but Xu Xing could clearly see the fire slowly spreading.

"gentlemen?"

The shop assistant noticed he was lost in thought and reminded him.

Xu Xing snapped out of his daze and whispered, "Is something in your shop burnt? I think I smell something like burnt electrical wire."

The store manager, Lin Wan, who looked to be in her late twenties, immediately looked up. Upon hearing this, her expression changed slightly, and she immediately stood up and twitched her nostrils.

"Xiao Li, can you smell it?"

She asked the shop assistant next to her.

The shop assistant sniffed blankly and shook his head.

But Lin Wan's expression had already turned serious.

The store has been renovated for many years and there is indeed a risk of aging wiring. Although she hasn't smelled anything yet, she'd rather believe it's possible.

"Xiao Zhang, call the engineering department to come and check immediately. Everyone stop what you're doing and check under your respective counters. Pay attention to whether there's a burning smell."

The shop immediately became busy.

After Xu Xing paid the fee, Lin Wan took the initiative to get his phone number.

Not long after, she called Xu Xing to express her gratitude: "Mr. Xu, thank you so much. We did find the electrical fire. If it weren't for your timely reminder, it would have caused great property damage or even casualties. In a few days, I will send you a banner on behalf of the company."

Xu Xing did not refuse, as the Jingyang County Museum is a public institution.

Even if he is not a permanent employee but a contract-based technician, having a banner from a state-owned enterprise like China Gold would definitely elevate his benefits to a higher level.

So he said over the phone, "Then I'll have to trouble Manager Lin."

……

The 100-day celebration was held at a mid-to-high-end restaurant in Weiyang District, Chang'an. Xu Xing parked his car and walked into the lobby carrying a peace lock and a gift box given by Lin Wan.

A sign at the reception area displayed the guest list for today's banquet. Xu walked over and scanned it from top to bottom.

"Gao Zixuan's 100-day celebration..."

"Household members: Gao Min, Xu Yanle..."

He frowned and looked at it carefully again.

Gao Zixuan!

Xu Xing felt a rush of blood to his head.

He took out his phone and dialed his son's number. It rang several times before being answered by a noisy background noise.

"Dad, you've arrived?"

Xu Yanle's voice sounded a little weak.

Which hotel are you at?

Xu Xing suppressed his anger and asked.

"It's the Four Seasons Hall at the one I sent you the location on Weiyang Road."

"My name is Gao Zixuan, which is written on the welcome sign in the lobby."

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Dad, wait a moment, I'll come out to get you."

Xu Yanle hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xu Xing gripped his phone so tightly his knuckles turned white. Standing in the middle of the lobby, he felt as if the surrounding noise was far away.

Oh shit!

My father paid for the house and car, and I pay the mortgage and car loan every month. The wedding, including the dowry, cost more than 500,000 yuan.

The result was that the grandson born was surnamed Gao?

That's absolutely despicable!

Xu Xing's heart burned with rage, and his eyes narrowed, flashing with a cold light.

A moment later, he saw his son, Xu Yanle, jogging over from the corridor. Xu Yanle had inherited Xu Xing's good looks from when he was young; he was tall and handsome and looked very dashing in a newly bought light gray suit.

He ran up to Xu Xing and looked around. He glanced at Xu Xing's face but didn't recognize him. He then took out his phone to make a call.

Xu Xing spoke up: "Stop hitting me, I'm right here."

Xu Yanle suddenly looked up, stared at Xu Xing for a full five seconds, and slowly opened her mouth wide.

"dad?"

He asked in shock, "You got a facelift? Had injections?"

Xu Xing remained silent.

Xu Yanle leaned closer to look, her eyes widening in horror: "Wait, this looks too natural, it doesn't seem like cosmetic surgery! Dad, what happened to you? How come you suddenly look so much younger? Your hair is black too!"

"A good mood makes you look younger."

Xu Xing said calmly, then asked, "Don't interrupt, what's going on with the sign? Who is Gao Zixuan?"
