The Security Guard hurried into the guard room, opened the chain door, and as the car approached, he rushed out and leaned against the car window, forcing a smile at Shi Tao. "Secretary Shi, I really didn't know..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't let me see you again!" Shi Tao shouted angrily at the Security Guard in front of him.
Seeing this situation, Bing Tianyi quickly smiled and said, "Alright, Secretary Shi, don't bother with someone like him. He was just doing his job by not letting me in."
"I can't stand people who look down on others. They really think they're something special!" Secretary Shi muttered a few curses as he drove the car inside, then shouted loudly, "Keep your eyes open next time!"
"Thank you, Secretary Shi. Thank you!" the Security Guard said, wiping the large beads of sweat from his forehead.
Once they entered the community courtyard and parked the car, Shi Tao invited Bing Tianyi upstairs and entered through the door. Bing Tianyi looked at the tidy room and awkwardly smiled at Shi Tao. "Secretary Shi, do you have shoe covers?"
"No need to be so polite. Come in quickly," Shi Tao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi replied with a grin, "Then I won't be polite."
As soon as he sat down, Secretary Shi hurriedly prepared tea and water for Bing Tianyi. Once everything was ready, Shi Tao sat across from Bing Tianyi and said with a beaming smile, "I came to find you yesterday but didn’t expect you to be out."
"I had some matters to attend to yesterday," Bing Tianyi replied seriously.
"I figured as much."
"Are you home alone?" Bing Tianyi asked.
"Yes, my wife works in the city and my daughter is studying there too," Shi Tao stated frankly.
After a brief conversation in the room, Bing Tianyi finally asked, "I wonder what Secretary Shi wanted to discuss with me?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I heard from the Crow that you are quite accurate with your fortune-telling, so I wanted to ask for your help," Shi Tao said awkwardly to Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's really nothing special; it's just that Brother Crow is flattering me."
"Haha, I don't think so. Since others have said it, there must be some truth to it," Shi Tao said with a smile as he lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi looked at Shi Tao and calmly said, "Are you perhaps looking to divine your future?"
"Indeed, you're quite extraordinary. I hadn't even spoken yet, and you already knew what I was planning to ask. You're truly a master!" Shi Tao immediately complimented as soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking.
Bing Tianyi heard this and looked at Shi Tao with a wry smile, saying, "Secretary Shi, you're overthinking it. I was just guessing. Generally speaking, everyone tends to inquire about matters related to their profession."
Shi Tao felt a bit embarrassed but quickly asked Bing Tianyi, "Alright then, Big Brother, can you help me see how my career will unfold in the next five years?"
"Alright then, since Secretary Shi has asked, I'll help you with your divination. Please write down your Ba Zi for me," Bing Tianyi said directly to Shi Tao.
At that moment, Bing Tianyi appeared mature and composed, his manner of speaking and handling matters completely belied his age. Shi Tao couldn't help but admire this young man.
In fact, ever since he congratulated Bing Tianyi on his new shop last time, Shi Tao had known that this kid must have some skills. Otherwise, the Crow wouldn't have called him to invite him over. Moreover, the people he saw that day—Bai Jie, Chen Huaqiang, and the Crow—were all well-known figures in the county.
Now it seemed that there were reasons behind this kid's current achievements.
While pondering these thoughts, Shi Tao wrote down his Ba Zi on a piece of paper and handed it to Bing Tianyi with a smile, saying, "Brother, here you go."
Bing Tianyi took a look at Shi Tao's Ba Zi and then began the divination.
As the hexagram was generated, Bing Tianyi glanced at it and after careful consideration said somewhat helplessly to Shi Tao, "Secretary Shi, don't take this too seriously. According to the hexagram, your career will start off quite brilliantly in these five years; however, by the end of the five years, there may be some troubles with imprisonment."
"What? Five years later, that would be 2016, right?" Shi Tao exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise.
Bing Tianyi nodded and said seriously to Shi Tao, "It seems you must have consulted someone about this a long time ago, right?"
At that moment, Shi Tao leaned back on the sofa and sighed softly while looking at Bing Tianyi. "Big Brother, to be honest, I did consult someone before you. What they predicted is quite similar to what you said; it means the same thing."
"Master Qi helped you with that?" Bing Tianyi asked curiously.
"How did you know?" Shi Tao inquired with some curiosity.
Bing Tianyi smiled helplessly, thinking that in this county town, there were no other fortune-tellers with more credentials than him.
However, Bing Tianyi did not voice his thoughts but looked at Shi Tao and said softly, "Since he helped you, he must have given you some advice."
"He did give me some advice, but I found it somewhat unreliable," Shi Tao said, worry etched on his face. After all, this was not just about his career; it was about his entire future.
Just think about it: starting work at eighteen and struggling for twenty-five years to finally become County Party Secretary, only to find out that in five years there would be imprisonment. Wouldn't that ruin his future and lead to a broken family?
With these thoughts in mind, Shi Tao felt a deep sense of anguish.
Seeing Shi Tao's troubled expression, Bing Tianyi couldn't help but ask, "Secretary Shi, if you trust me, could you share the specific plan with me?"
"Master Qi told me to build a good relationship with someone. After five years, that person will surely rise to prominence. As long as nothing happens to him, even if I end up in prison, he will ensure my release," Shi Tao said quietly.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi pondered deeply. He realized that in this county area, the person with the greatest potential for promotion was none other than the recently transferred County Party Secretary Fan De. Considering what he had seen in the past, Fan De had eventually risen to work in the capital.
With this thought in mind, Bing Tianyi curiously asked Shi Tao, "Is the person you're talking about Fan De?"
"Yes, that's the person." Shi Tao looked at Bing Tianyi in disbelief and nodded. He felt that ever since Bing Tianyi entered the room, it seemed like whatever he was about to say and the meaning behind his words were all clear to Bing Tianyi. This ability was almost more astonishing than Master Qi's.
"To be honest, I advise you to stay away from Fan De," Bing Tianyi said earnestly, looking at Shi Tao.
"Why? Is he going to get into trouble later?" Shi Tao asked, looking troubled.
"Although he won't get into trouble, it's basically impossible for him to help you five years from now," Bing Tianyi asserted.
Of course, while Bing Tianyi might not be clear on other matters, he understood this one well. According to the Hexagram, in 2016, Shi Tao would face misfortune, which coincided with a time when the crackdown on corruption was at its peak. If Shi Tao were imprisoned, who would be willing to take such a huge risk to help someone unrelated to them?
Seeing Bing Tianyi's sincere expression, Shi Tao stood up and lit another cigarette, pacing back and forth. After a moment, he asked Bing Tianyi, "Big Brother, can you tell me what I will be imprisoned for in five years?"
"Promise me you won't get angry?" Bing Tianyi asked with some concern.
"Don't worry; since I've come to find you, I definitely believe what you say," Shi Tao replied firmly.
After Shi Tao finished speaking, Bing Tianyi boldly stated based on his judgment, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason you'll be imprisoned five years from now is corruption."
Hearing this, Shi Tao was stunned. His complexion changed drastically, and his eyes filled with regret.
Seeing the color drain from Shi Tao's face, Bing Tianyi realized that his words had struck a nerve. He also understood that this small county town was one of the most prosperous in the Northwest Region. With abundant mineral resources and a huge tourism development market, the economy of the county had been growing rapidly.
Not to mention the significant changes in the development of the urban area over the past couple of years.
Moreover, according to the county's plans for the next few years, in three years' time, the county would build roads nearly eight kilometers west of the current urban area. This meant that the real estate development market would be the most lucrative industry in the coming years.
At that time, whether it was bidding or other matters, it would be impossible for anyone not to offer bribes. If this continued, the county would ultimately face a collapse of corruption.
Bing Tianyi had once witnessed all of this firsthand.
"Alright, since that's the case, I know what I should do now," Shi Tao said as he stepped toward his bedroom.
Bing Tianyi took a sip of tea and, after Shi Tao left the room, directly addressed him, saying, "Secretary Shi, you really don't need to worry so much. I can offer you another path."
Upon hearing this, Shi Tao frowned slightly, placed a key he was holding on the nearby table, and asked, "What path?"
"If I were you, I would achieve some political accomplishments within the next three years. However, I would handle certain aspects very carefully. Then in the fourth year, I would find a way to transfer to a poor rural area and focus on developing rural construction. By the fifth year, not only would you avoid imprisonment, but you would also rise to prominence in a very short time," Bing Tianyi explained to Shi Tao.
Shi Tao was no fool; he understood what Bing Tianyi meant by certain aspects. After a few seconds of contemplation, he asked Bing Tianyi, "How can these claims be verified?"
"That's simple. I'll make a statement, and if it happens in three days, then you'll know to believe me," Bing Tianyi said meaningfully as he looked at Shi Tao.
"What statement?" Shi Tao asked curiously.
"In three days, Double Bridge will collapse due to an overloaded coal truck from out of town, resulting in one death and two serious injuries," Bing Tianyi stated plainly.
"What is the specific time?"
"Around five-thirty in the afternoon," Bing Tianyi asserted.
