The dinner arranged by An Tianfeng was in the evening, which didn’t affect Xia Yu visiting An Siyao during the day.
He ended the treatment hastily and returned to his body at 4:30 PM.
Together with Zhong Yunze, he headed to a hotel.
Inside the hotel, besides An Tianfeng, there was also a middle-aged man—An Tianfeng’s old friend.
The four introduced themselves briefly before sitting down together.
“Want some alcohol?” An Tianfeng asked Xia Yu.
“No,” Xia Yu replied.
“Legally an adult yet?” An Tianfeng asked again.
“Yeah,” Xia Yu answered.
“Well, once you’re an adult, you can have a little, but since you’re still a student, forget it. How about smoking?” An Tianfeng continued.
“No,” Xia Yu replied.
“Good, a good kid.” Although An Tianfeng smoked and drank, it didn’t stop him from believing that not smoking or drinking made someone a good child.
An Tianfeng ordered juice for everyone, and neither he nor his old friend drank alcohol.
Halfway through the meal, An Tianfeng started asking about the mole.
“How did you figure out Zhong Shi was suspicious?” An Tianfeng asked.
Not only An Tianfeng, but Zhong Yunze and An Tianfeng’s old friend were also listening intently.
“Feeling,” Xia Yu replied. Beforehand, Xia Yu had considered this—he could fabricate reasons, but saying “feeling” wasn’t necessarily a problem.
“Feeling?” The three were surprised.
Nodding, Xia Yu continued, “I felt something was off about that uncle, so I checked his computer and found this recording.”
“That’s it?” An Tianfeng’s old friend looked at An Tianfeng disdainfully.
He had assumed Zhong Shi’s abnormal behavior made Xia Yu realize something was wrong, but it wasn’t like that at all.
Zhong Yunze explained, “My uncle has shown no abnormality recently. Not just me, other managers also saw nothing suspicious.”
“So how did you sense something wrong?” The three turned back to Xia Yu.
“I didn’t sense anything abnormal, just felt something was off,” Xia Yu continued.
“No abnormality, yet you felt something off?” An Tianfeng suspected Xia Yu was making up an excuse to brush him off.
“You didn’t even know my uncle before this, right?” Zhong Yunze added.
Without prior knowledge, there was no comparison, so how could he detect anything suspicious?
“I can sense people who emit hostility toward me,” Xia Yu revealed his telepathic ability.
Since An Tianfeng was An Siyao’s father, it was necessary to display some abilities in front of him.
Besides, having An Tianfeng’s support would be helpful when Xia Yu started his own company.
“How is that even possible?”
“You don’t have to make up excuses if you don’t want to tell me.”
The three didn’t believe him.
“You can test it.”
After exchanging glances, An Tianfeng finally made a decision.
He walked out of the private room and found his driver, giving him instructions.
Fifteen minutes later, the driver returned with ten people wearing raincoats, white plain masks, and fully covered.
The ten stood in front of Xia Yu.
Before An Tianfeng could explain the test to Xia Yu, Xia Yu pointed directly at the fourth person from the left: “It’s him.”
An Tianfeng looked at the driver, who approached the fourth person, lifted his mask, and nodded at An Tianfeng after confirming.
“What’s going on?” The man whose mask had been removed looked frightened, as if he had been tricked.
“Nothing, we’ll still pay you,” the driver calmed the man down and had him listen to An Tianfeng’s instructions.
“Go find two more groups!” An Tianfeng ordered the driver again.
The driver took the ten people out of the private room again.
“Uncle An, what’s happening?” Zhong Yunze was confused.
An Tianfeng’s old friend had already guessed what An Tianfeng was doing.
An Tianfeng explained, “I had my driver randomly find ten people outside, paid them money. He told nine of them to just come and stand here, and told the last one to follow orders and beat up the most handsome high school student in the private room.”
In this way, the last person would have hostility toward Xia Yu, while the other nine were just meant to confuse.
Zhong Yunze nodded, finally understanding.
But there was one point that confused him, although he didn’t feel comfortable asking.
What kind of distinction was “the most handsome high school student”?
Was it implying that he wasn’t as handsome as Xia Yu?
Zhong Yunze felt resentful and looked at An Tianfeng.
He could have just said “the most handsome one,” why add the high school student part? It sounded like if not for the high school student specification, people might think the most handsome was you.
Just as Zhong Yunze reluctantly let go of this thought, the driver returned.
This time, the driver came back faster than last time—he had gained experience.
He brought back twenty fully covered people in raincoats and masks and had Xia Yu identify them again.
Xia Yu quickly pointed out two of them.
With identical raincoats and masks, even the driver couldn’t distinguish the two, only after they removed their masks was it confirmed Xia Yu’s accuracy.
An Tianfeng and the others inhaled deeply.
Zhong Yunze felt that Xia Yu’s “feeling” was amazing, while An Tianfeng and his old friend immediately recognized its practical value.
This ability could be considered a divine skill!
If it could detect moles, it could also detect those with ill intentions, potential threats, and even be used to check if one’s lover or wife was cheating.
Periodically screening everyone around could effectively ensure property and personal safety.
The way An Tianfeng and his friend looked at Xia Yu became increasingly enthusiastic.
An Tianfeng then looked at Zhong Yunze: “Don’t tell anyone about this.”
Zhong Yunze, who had planned to tell his mother and sister, was taken aback but quickly recovered.
Of course, this couldn’t be disclosed, or enemies would become alert.
However, Xia Yu didn’t care about this supposed alertness.
Who could control their hostility? Alertness would only deepen hostility.
Besides, no one would believe it anyway.
“Come on, keep drinking, keep drinking,” An Tianfeng personally poured juice for Xia Yu while planning how to bring Xia Yu into his company.
“Xia Yu, how about becoming a special consultant at my company?” An Tianfeng’s old friend immediately took action.
“He’s my nephew!” An Tianfeng immediately blocked him.
“Zhong Yunze is your nephew! What relation do you have with Xia Yu?” the old friend retorted.
“Zhong Yunze is my nephew, so isn’t his older brother also my nephew?” An Tianfeng twisted the relationship.
“Zhong Yunze is your nephew because of Old Zhong. Xia Yu has no relation to Old Zhong whatsoever.” After refuting An Tianfeng’s logic, the old friend suddenly realized something odd, “Wait, Zhong Yunze is also my nephew!”
He grabbed Xia Yu’s hand: “Xia Yu, come help your uncle.”
“You’ve got some nerve!” An Tianfeng laughed while scolding.
They weren’t seriously competing but just joking between friends, since Xia Yu could easily move between both companies.
Still, their appreciation for Xia Yu was genuine.
Looking at Xia Yu, An Tianfeng suddenly remembered something.
Good-looking, around the same age as his daughter, capable—these three conditions already met the standards he had set for a potential partner for his daughter.
He asked again, “What are your hobbies?”
Zhong Yunze answered first, “He plays piano, violin, and guzheng. Although he lost to An Siyao last time in guzheng, he still got second place in the district.”
“Oh?” An Tianfeng became excited. The hobby condition was also met, leaving only one more.
