However, upon serious reflection, compared to Nan Hao and the others, Chen Huaqiang is somewhat more trustworthy. Setting aside the matters between him and Chen Qian, at least they are from the same county.
After some simple consideration, Bing Tianyi nodded and said, "Yes, this is also what Nan Hao reminded me to do. They are currently looking for the police to inquire about Big Head's Construction Company and are also seeking out former employees of Big Head's Construction Company. As for me, I am responsible for securing loans, and once the loan is approved, I can register this company."
Hearing Bing Tianyi say this, Chen Huaqiang was left speechless. He felt that these three people were helping Bing Tianyi for no reason and must have their own motives. This so-called motive was very clear: it was undoubtedly to get money.
Thinking of this, Chen Huaqiang smiled wryly at Bing Tianyi and said, "Tianyi, some things are not as simple as you think. According to what you said, they are employees hired by Wang Zhiqing with money. Now that Wang Zhiqing is in prison, they are here to help you. But do you really know them? Why would they willingly follow you?"
Faced with Chen Huaqiang's inquiry, Bing Tianyi didn't know how to respond and could only listen earnestly.
Chen Huaqiang thought that if Bing Tianyi were really in his twenties and had three brothers willing to help him, it would make sense. But now this kid is only sixteen years old; perhaps he hasn't even fully matured yet. Why would others treat him like this?
Seeing that Bing Tianyi had nothing to say, Chen Huaqiang continued, "Let me think about this matter carefully. If it doesn't work out, you should contact those three today and let me meet them."
When Chen Huaqiang said this, Bing Tianyi quietly replied, "Uncle Huaqiang, it's fine to meet them, but when we talk..."
Although Bing Tianyi didn't finish his sentence, Chen Huaqiang understood what he meant. Without further thought, he nodded and said, "Don't worry."
After hearing this, Bing Tianyi directly called Nan Hao. After agreeing on a location, Chen Huaqiang drove Bing Tianyi straight to the designated hotel.
Around seven in the evening, Nan Hao arrived at the agreed hotel with Duck Brother and the others. Upon entering and seeing Bing Tianyi with Chen Huaqiang, Nan Hao approached with a smile and nodded to greet Bing Tianyi before asking Chen Huaqiang, "Mr. Chen, what brings you here?"
Chen Huaqiang nodded with a smile and said, "I heard from Tianyi that each of you has your own strengths, so I wanted to get to know you. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"
"Mr. Chen is a big shot in the county; we would be more than happy to meet you," Nan Hao replied sincerely.
Seeing Nan Hao's attitude while speaking, Chen Huaqiang could completely conclude that this kid was quite shrewd and not ordinary at all. Having someone like him help a child made things even more suspicious.
Thinking of this, Chen Huaqiang was just about to find a reason to ask when Nan Hao straightforwardly said, "I think President Chen wants to meet the three of us to see if we really intend to help Brother Bing, or if he wants to probe into our motives for helping him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Huaqiang was completely stunned. After several seconds, he finally spoke with a smile, "Since Brother Nan has already guessed it, I have no need to hide it. To be honest, I am also very curious why you three are willing to help a child, especially with tasks that are beyond what a child can do."
After Chen Huaqiang finished speaking, Nan Hao looked at Bing Tianyi and asked, "Brother Bing, do you know what big event will happen in the county tomorrow?"
"What?" Bing Tianyi asked curiously.
At this moment, Nan Hao bluntly stated, "Tomorrow around five o'clock in the afternoon, Double Bridge will collapse, right?"
Bing Tianyi never expected that Nan Hao would know about this matter and even state the time so precisely.
After the other party finished speaking, Bing Tianyi widened his eyes in shock and asked Nan Hao, "How do you know?"
"To be honest, we have actually studied some Seven Star Technique before. This allows us to foresee calamities and fortunes. The rat beside me is quite capable but can only live up to twenty-eight years; he is already twenty-five this year, which means he has three years left. However, according to astrology, I can confirm that if the three of us can follow you, this situation will change. At the same time, we can help you develop your business; this win-win choice is something everyone would choose," Nan Hao said directly to Bing Tianyi.
"Then what you said earlier about being loyal to anyone and doing things for money..." Bing Tianyi murmured.
"Those were nonsense; the truth is as such. Moreover, I have my own principles when it comes to helping others—who I can help and who I cannot help. I always have my own plans for how to assist others. Including now, since I have chosen to help you, I will definitely do so sincerely. Just like I told Duck Brother that regardless of your age, I must respect those who deserve respect; that is my rule," Nan Hao said seriously.
Bing Tianyi suddenly realized that there are indeed many capable people in this world. Just like the Nan Hao before him, not only does he possess chivalry but he also adheres to rules in his actions—something many people today lack.
With this understanding, Bing Tianyi could completely trust Nan Hao to work for him.
However, at this moment, Chen Huaqiang was dumbfounded; he had no idea what the conversation between Nan Hao and Bing Tianyi meant. The only thing he clearly heard was that Double Bridge would collapse tomorrow.
After they finished speaking, Chen Huaqiang curiously asked the two of them, "What did you just say about Double Bridge collapsing? What exactly is going on?"
Upon hearing Chen Huaqiang's inquiry, Bing Tianyi smiled wryly and said, "The Heavenly Secret cannot be revealed. The divination techniques I have learned involve many matters that cannot easily be shared with others."
Nan Hao, upon hearing this, turned to Chen Huaqiang and said, "Tomorrow afternoon around five o'clock, the Double Bridge will collapse."
"Are you talking about our county's Double Bridge?" Chen Huaqiang asked in surprise.
"Yes," Nan Hao replied seriously.
After Nan Hao finished speaking, Chen Huaqiang thought for a moment and shook his head with a smile, saying, "That's impossible. Recently, I saw someone maintaining the safety of the bridge. How could it possibly collapse tomorrow?"
"I know you won't believe me, Mr. Chen, but just wait until tomorrow afternoon and listen for the news," Nan Hao said earnestly.
After a brief consideration, Chen Huaqiang decided not to dwell on whether the Double Bridge would collapse. However, Nan Hao's words did resonate with him. He raised his glass and smiled at the brothers at the table, saying, "Come on, let's not worry about these things for now. Let's have a drink."
The three of them raised their glasses and drank a few rounds. At this moment, Chen Huaqiang asked again, "Brother Nan Hao, which rat were you referring to earlier?"
"That would be me," the Rat said with a smile while pointing at himself.
Compared to Nan Hao and Duck Brother, the Rat certainly had a more unassuming appearance, especially with the smile on his face that gave no reason for suspicion.
Seeing this, Chen Huaqiang nodded and then asked, "Earlier Brother Nan Hao mentioned that you wouldn't live past twenty-eight. What's that all about?"
Before Nan Hao could respond, Bing Tianyi spoke up directly: "Based on his appearance, if I'm not mistaken, he has two major hurdles in life—one at seven years old and another at twenty-eight. Clearly, he has already passed the hurdle at seven; now only the significant hurdle at twenty-eight remains. If he can successfully overcome it, his future life will be quite prosperous."
Hearing Bing Tianyi's words, the Rat nodded and said, "Brother Bing is correct. When I was seven years old, I fell off a cliff. When I was taken to the hospital, the doctors said I wouldn't make it and advised my family to prepare for my funeral. My parents even ordered a coffin for me. On the day I was supposed to be buried, I suddenly regained consciousness and shouted loudly from inside the coffin. My family heard me and took me out before rushing me back to the hospital where I was saved."
"No way! Can such things really happen in this world?" Chen Huaqiang asked in disbelief as he looked at the Rat.
The Rat didn't think much and directly took out his phone, opened a photo, and handed it to Chen Huaqiang while whispering, "Take a look, this is the coffin my family prepared for me when I was seven years old. It's still at home."
Upon seeing the coffin, Chen Huaqiang was left speechless. He turned to glance at Bing Tianyi beside him, who then bluntly said, "On your twenty-eighth birthday, don't go anywhere else; just lie in this coffin for the entire day. Arrange copper coins on your back in the shape of the Big Dipper, and after the day ends, if you come out, everything will be fine."
To be honest, Nan Hao could foresee that the Rat would face a major calamity at twenty-eight. However, he couldn't help the Rat resolve it. While in prison, he had discovered a powerful figure emerging in the northwest during a late-night stargazing session. After being released from prison, he was invited by Wang Zhiqing to come help. He immediately brought the Rat along and searched every day until that day when Bing Tianyi helped Ouyang Xukong with divination; only then did Nan Hao realize that the powerful figure was right before them.
This further solidified Nan Hao's determination to follow Bing Tianyi in helping him conquer the world. Now hearing Bing Tianyi's words, Nan Hao curiously looked at him and asked, "Brother Bing, is this method really effective?"
"Since you're studying astrology, you must know about the transformation of the Big Dipper?" Bing Tianyi looked at Nan Hao with curiosity.
Usually serious in expression, Nan Hao showed an awkward look after Bing Tianyi finished speaking and quietly replied, "To be honest, my understanding of astrology is still at a beginner's level; there are many things I haven't grasped yet."
"Just like me! I've only been studying the Book of Changes for less than two months and was completely clueless before. But now I can basically help people with their fortunes. Once I can accurately predict everything, that would be impressive," Bing Tianyi said with a hearty laugh.
"In fact, astrology is also part of the Book of Changes; it just depends on how one interprets it," Nan Hao said earnestly.
Bing Tianyi smiled and replied, "That's true; anything in this world can be understood through the Book of Changes. However, this kind of scholarship is now neglected by people; very few are willing to read or pay attention to these teachings."
"The main issue is that while some want to understand it, most people can't grasp its meaning. Over time, they lose confidence and stop learning," Nan Hao stated frankly.
Bing Tianyi didn't expect to have found a kindred spirit unintentionally; he opened up as well, and the two began to engage in a pleasant conversation.
