In the news report, an archaeology expert happened to see that inkstone in the shop. After examining it carefully, he exclaimed in shock, declaring on the spot that the inkstone was an extremely valuable ancient artifact!
Its value was conservatively estimated at no less than three million.
Unfortunately, the inkstone had been dropped and had a small chip, which greatly reduced its value—it was now worth at most twenty or thirty thousand.
Wow~ ⊙o⊙!!
Reading this, Lin Mi almost dropped the fried chicken in her hand. Her face was full of excitement.
This was practically a pie falling from the sky!
Exactly what she wished for came right to her.
“Antique street, two days later…”
Lin Mi couldn’t help thinking. The incident was exposed two days later, meaning that if she counted backward, the day of the accident was… tomorrow?
Her mind started working rapidly.
Since fate was giving her a chance, of course she had to seize it!
Since no one had discovered the inkstone’s true value, rather than letting others ruin it, she might as well buy it herself—it was at least a way to preserve the cultural value of the artifact.
She could even consider it a contribution to the antique and cultural relics community.
Lin Mi picked up her phone again and carefully checked the incident’s exact time.
Two days ago in the morning?
“What time exactly? This news report is unbelievable—how can they not even state the specific time?”
Lin Mi frowned. This was going to keep her on edge again.
No choice—she would have to stake out the place early in the morning.
After settling her plan, she continued eating her fried chicken. While happily browsing gossip news, a red dot suddenly blinked in her friends’ activity tab.
“Huh?”
Curious, she tapped it open. It was a new future-activity update from a friend.
“Wei Xun?”
She had added quite a few family and friends to her system’s list, but this was only the second time she’d seen a friend’s future activity.
The first had been from Yuan Yuan. She hadn’t seen any future updates in the past few days.
Unexpectedly, she had just added Wei Xun today, and that very night she received his “future activity.”
This update even came with text and a photo—a traffic jam on the Second Ring overpass. The caption read:
【At 8:30 a.m., a car accident occurred on the Second Ring overpass, causing total traffic paralysis along the Eastern Second Road segment. Because of this, Wei Xun missed an important contract and lost one hundred million.】
“One hundred million? Damn!”
Lin Mi gasped. No wonder he was the rising dark horse in the financial investment circle—his contracts were measured in hundreds of millions.
But to lose a hundred million just because of traffic congestion… that was indeed miserable.
For business elites, time and credibility were of utmost importance.
And since Wei Xun used the Second Ring overpass for his daily commute, once something happened on it, the cars couldn’t even turn around—they could only wait for the site to be cleared.
“He’s really unlucky. Such a low-probability event and he still runs into it. He barely escaped a fire today, and tomorrow he’ll be stuck on an overpass. Tsk! Truly tragic!”
Even she couldn’t help sighing at his situation.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind.
This afternoon, she had already established herself as a “disciple of metaphysics” in front of Wei Xun. She knew he hadn’t pressed her further, but he definitely still had doubts.
And this “future activity” was the perfect chance to firmly confirm her identity and ability.
Moreover, Wei Xun was a rising star in the venture capital world—so young yet already so accomplished. His future would surely be immeasurable.
Making friends with someone like him would only benefit her. It would be a valuable connection for her future.
Thinking this, Lin Mi’s lips curved slightly, her eyes sparking with mischief.
She quickly opened her chat with Wei Xun. Her fingertips danced across the screen as she typed:
【President Wei, sorry to disturb you. A friendly reminder—tomorrow morning, avoid taking the Second Ring overpass. You can choose the Northern Third Ring route instead.】
After sending it, Lin Mi looked at her “masterpiece” with satisfaction. If she explained too much, it would only cause suspicion. Better to keep things mysterious.
This way, she showcased her “foresight” without seeming absurd.
Even the strongest metaphysics masters of the present day wouldn’t predict every detail of an event.
If someone could truly foresee everything down to the smallest detail, that wouldn’t be surprising—it would be terrifying.
At that moment, Wei Xun was sitting in his bright and spacious study, handling important documents.
Hearing his phone buzz, he picked it up casually. Seeing the “special attention” notification, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He didn’t expect to receive her message so soon.
His long fingers slid across the screen, opening their chat.
“Don’t take the overpass tomorrow?”
He muttered in confusion at the seemingly random advice, but he was more curious than skeptical.
The Second Ring overpass was his daily route to work.
Of course, it wasn’t the only route, but it was the fastest.
He had driven that path countless times over the past year without any issues.
But thinking about the strange things surrounding Lin Mi, he didn’t dare dismiss it outright.
Could something really happen on the overpass tomorrow?
With that thought, he sent a message to ask Lin Mi.
Meanwhile, having finished her fried chicken, Lin Mi saw his message and smiled faintly.
Hooked.
【If you trust me, then avoid the overpass tomorrow morning. Otherwise, you will lose a large sum of money.】
She typed and sent it quickly. This should be obvious enough.
If he still insisted on taking the overpass tomorrow morning, then it wouldn’t be her fault.
**
“So it’s that magical?”
Seeing her reply, Wei Xun froze slightly.
Lose a large sum of money?
How large?
He did have an important meeting tomorrow morning—if nothing went wrong, he would sign a contract worth more than a hundred million.
They had negotiated that deal for a long time. They were finally at the signing stage—it was extremely important for his company.
Wei Xun set down his phone and leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.
Lin Mi…
This woman always brought him unexpected “surprises.” Like a riddle he couldn’t help wanting to solve.
Rationally, he didn’t believe in metaphysics. He trusted science and data.
But her repeated “coincidences” made him treat her differently.
“Does she really have some special ability?”
The thought flashed through his mind, but he pushed it down immediately.
Forget it. Overthinking is pointless.
The truth would reveal itself eventually.
What’s real cannot be fake.
