Chapter 39

Recognizing a Godson, a Deadly Prediction

"His ex-wife is finally free!"

Hearing this, even knowing it happened more than ten years ago, I still breathed a sigh of relief.

The media has reported extensively on Li Feihong and his ex-wife's affairs. I had long known that Li Feihong was heartless, but I never imagined he was this heartless.

None of the things he did were humane.

"He used underhanded tactics to get together with Lydia, but I don't know exactly what those tactics were—he didn't say. However, I do know that he conspired with the various branches of the gambling tycoon's family to frame Lydia!"

She was very dissatisfied with Li Feihong for keeping the matter of Li Danna from her, and her words were filled with resentment.

"What did he do next?" I asked.

"He was incredibly popular at that time, and too many people were plotting against him. Those people used all sorts of methods. The ten years of good fortune he gained by sacrificing his son couldn't withstand it at all. He begged me to help him think of a way to boost his luck!"

Li Feihong's godmother said.

"Did you help him?" I asked.

"Why wouldn't I help him if he offered me money?" she retorted.

"The same old method?" I asked.

"That's right, it's the same old method. I don't know any other way!" she said.

"Who was sacrificed this time?" I asked.

"This time it was his godson, but no sacrifice was offered. It's the same old method: using his godson's destiny to ward off evil!"

She replied.

"Godson? Where did he get a godson?" I asked curiously.

"It's Xie Gu!" she said.

"Who is Xie Gu?" I thought for a while, but still couldn't remember who he was.

"He's the kid who acted in several movies with Li Feihong, the one who played Li Feihong's son in the movies!" she said.

"Him!"

I knew immediately who she was talking about.

I've watched those two movies many times, and they left a deep impression on me.

I thought he was another rising action star, but after two or three movies, the kid disappeared from the scene.

Now that she's said that, I understand.

"Tell me what happened between them!" Fatty Lin interrupted.

"It's nothing!"

Li Feihong's godmother snorted and said, "After I received the money, I entered a meditative state and calculated Li Feihong's destined person. Most of my illnesses are due to that calculation!"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin and I exchanged a glance. What nonsense! She was using some kind of power to help her investigate.

Things borrowed must be returned.

From what she said, her current situation is very bad; she is paying off her debts.

"I told Li Feihong the calculated birth chart and the general situation of the person destined for him; the rest is up to him to find them!"

"Soon, based on the clues I provided, Li Feihong, under the guise of casting, found the child, Xie Gu!"

"Xie Gu's birth chart is excellent. If he had been born in ancient times, he would definitely have been a promising general!"

"After finding Xie Gu, Li Feihong introduced him to Xie Gu's parents under the pretext of wanting to take him to act in a movie!"

"During their interactions, he praised Xie Gu in various ways, saying that Xie Gu was a promising talent, that he liked Xie Gu very much, that he wanted to take him to act in movies, and that he wanted to recognize him as his godson!"

At this point, she sneered and said, "Xie Gu's parents thought a windfall had fallen from the sky and landed on their son's head; they didn't think much of it!"

"They not only agreed to let Xie Gu act in the film, but they also made Xie Gu recognize Li Feihong as his godfather!"

"Li Feihong is a very cunning person. We had a big fight over money back then, and he was worried that I was setting him up, so he didn't believe me at first!!"

"After recognizing Xie Gu as his godson, he was afraid I would swindle him out of his money, so he didn't rush to have me perform any rituals for him. Instead, he took Xie Gu to film a movie first, to see if Xie Gu would bring him good fortune!"

"If business is good, give me the money; if it's bad, I'll renege on the final payment!"

"So cunning and treacherous!" I exclaimed.

It is said that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. This is exactly what is being said about people like Li Feihong.

"I remember Xie Gu and Li Feihong's first collaboration was very successful!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.

"Not just a success, it was a huge success! The box office was over 30 million—that was over 30 million more than ten years ago!"

Li Feihong's godmother said through gritted teeth.

Even now, let alone more than ten years ago, this box office performance is remarkable.

"Seeing how well Xie Gu was doing for him, Li Feihong couldn't bear to perform the ritual immediately!"

"After that, he filmed another movie with Xie Gu, until he couldn't take it anymore, and then he asked me to perform a ritual to have Xie Gu ward off evil for him!"

"In the meantime, to curry favor with Xie Gu's parents and gain their trust in entrusting Xie Gu to him, he gave Xie Gu two small resources!"

"Only after Xie Gu and his parents completely trusted him did Li Feihong take me in and have me perform a ritual to use Xie Gu to ward off evil spirits!"

"After the ritual was completed, Li Feihong was fine, but Xie Guke suffered the consequences!"

"Xie Gu has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is very healthy, but after helping Li Feihong block the attack, he spent many days in the hospital and almost lost his mind from the fever!"

She sighed a little when she talked about it, as if it had nothing to do with her.

If she hadn't helped Li Feihong with the ritual, Xie Gu wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

I'm very curious about how her brain works.

While Li Feihong is certainly despicable, she, as an accomplice, is also implicated.

Later, due to poor health, Xie Gu returned to the mainland!

"Seeing that Xie Gu was no longer of any use, Li Feihong never contacted him again!"

"Xie Gu's parents were still wondering why Li Feihong was so proactive at first, making promises and even becoming Xie Gu's godson, but then suddenly stopped contacting him because of an illness!"

"They have no idea that their son's great fortune has been stolen by Li Feihong!"

"I'm so lucky I didn't die!" I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Li Feihong should have paid you the balance this time, right? Logically speaking, you two shouldn't have fallen out, should you?" Fatty Lin asked provocatively.

"I did pay, but that bastard Li Feihong later went abroad and climbed the social ladder, meeting a high-ranking master in the snowy region. He thinks he has a powerful backer and starts ignoring me!"

When this was mentioned, Li Feihong's godmother flew into a rage.

What followed was nearly three minutes of cursing.

"You think Li Feihong only did this much? Let me tell you, he's done far more bad things!"

After finishing her rant, she gave a cold laugh and started revealing more information.

"What else did you do?"

Lin Pangzi and I exchanged a glance; Li Feihong, our godmother, was already showing signs of mental instability.

"You've heard about his agent being shot and killed, right?" she asked.

"I've heard of it. What's wrong? Do you know who did it?" I asked.

"I don't know who did it, but I do know that his manager's vengeful spirit is haunting him after his death, and he used a sacrificial ritual on me to get rid of it!" she said with a cold laugh.

"Whom did Li Feihong sacrifice this time?"

I'm numb now.

"He's got his eye on my own brother!" she replied.
