Chapter: 2633

Nine years ago, He Zhiqiu nearly lost her life, and now her only chance of survival lies in Jinling. Charlie Wade suddenly understood that her life depended on him. He realized that he might be the only one who could save her.

The hexagram he consulted suggested that He Zhiqiu was in great danger. If he didn’t step in to save her, her life would be at stake too. Charlie hesitated for a moment, but then he made up his mind to help her. Even though he had never met He Zhiqiu and they had no personal connection, he had two strong reasons to save her.

First, he wanted to enter the ocean transportation market, and He Zhiqiu was the perfect person to help him do that. If she returned to assist him, her father, He Yuanjiang, would likely support their business venture, making it much more secure.

Second, He Yuanjiang had been a friend and classmate of Charlie’s mother before she passed away. After Charlie’s parents died, He Yuanjiang had gone out of his way to find him. Since He Zhiqiu was his only daughter, Charlie felt he couldn’t just stand by and let her die.

However, Charlie was worried about how to save her. She was in Syria, and he had no idea where exactly she was. Although the hexagram could give him a rough idea of her location, finding someone with such limited information was nearly impossible.

Then a thought struck him: “He Zhiqiu is with the Syrian government forces on a military operation right now…”

There were several people in their group, and they were being protected by the government army. If He Zhiqiu was in danger, it likely meant that the army would fail in their mission, which could put him at risk too.

Charlie Wade felt a wave of sadness wash over him. He thought, “I need to keep a close eye on the situation in Syria and stay updated on any news about government forces failing.”

Just then, the owner of the fortune-telling booth across from him spoke up sarcastically. “Hey there, young man! Why so quiet? Do you not understand what your fortune means? Or are you just trying to think of a way to trick us?”

He sneered and added, “Honestly, if you can’t do it, just leave. Don’t waste my time when I could be helping others!”

Seeing the man’s smug expression, Charlie Wade replied calmly, “I didn’t want to waste time with you, but since you’re so eager, I’ll spend a few minutes talking to you.” He continued, “From your face, it’s clear you’re destined for hardship. You’ll struggle your whole life and will never be a strong person. Someone like you will only face deception and trouble, and your old age will be miserable.”

Charlie then advised, “So, I suggest you stop deceiving others. At your age, finding a stable job could save you from future hardships.”

The old man was taken aback by Charlie Wade’s words, realizing that Charlie was mocking him. More importantly, Charlie’s observations hit close to home. The old man had indeed faced many struggles in life, mainly because, in his youth, he had looked down on others and made poor choices, leading to several years in prison.

He has been unable to find work for a long time. Nothing lasts forever, and without any savings or achievements, he feels like he has very little in his life. He not only struggled on his own, but his children also have nothing to show for it.
