[ILivestreamDivination] Chapter 4.2 — Livestream to Catch a Liar

[The host means that the liar is now in Nancheng!]

[Real or fake? Is the host so good?]

[Now it’s being livestreamed, if no one is found, it will be a social death.]

[Good guy, I’ve only watched the livestream of catching adultery, but I haven’t watched the livestream of catching liars!]

[I can’t bear such a strangely exciting thing alone—I have already sent the link to my third cousin, fourth cousin, and fifth cousin.]

The hundreds of viewers in the livestreaming channel saw such a big upcoming battle, and for some reason, they also felt a strong sense of excitement, as if they were about to witness a big event, so they started to share the link to the livestream to their relatives and friends.

“Go straight to the end of Huainan Road until you get to Zhurong Road. There is an Internet cafe called ‘Koala’ on Zhurong Road. You go in directly and remember to wear a mask.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> walked briskly on the road, feeling melancholic but also a little excited. If she was really cheated, she wouldn’t be too sad, but she would have a sense of pride in exposing the damn liar in front of the public.

While <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> was rushing down the road, the popularity of the livestream tripled.

Many people said as soon as they came in: [I heard that this livestream is going to catch a liar, where is the liar? Do you want to call the police?]

Ten minutes later, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> stood at the entrance of the Internet cafe, checked that her mask was on properly, pushed the door open and walked in.

An Rugu’s cold voice came from her earphones, reassuring in an unfamiliar environment, “Second row, third seat; the person in the red coat. Can you see him?”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> looked in the direction she mentioned, and her eyes fell on a man in a red coat. This man was in his thirties, good-looking, but unshaven, and looked a little poor.

The man was facing the computer and typing on the keyboard.

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> thought he was playing a game, and approached him quietly from behind, only to find that his screen was a WeChat window.

Because of the comparatively larger computer screen, the words in the chat were clearly visible.

The man typed the text: [Actually, I had a very painful marriage.]

[What happened? Is it okay for you to tell me?]

Man: [My wife, that is, my ex-wife cheated on me with my friend… Forget it, I won’t say much, the matter is over, and I have moved on.]

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>: “!!!”

The audience in the livestream channel: “!!!”

[What he said is so familiar, the rich woman seems to have said it just now.]

[Remove the word ‘seems’, she really said he told her that. He’s a liar as the host said.]

[The streamer is amazing!]

[Actually, I don’t think he is necessarily the liar, maybe he’s just a passerby with a similar experience.]

The face under <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>’s mask turned from red to white and then blue. She, the person involved, knew much more than the audience in the live broadcast room. The words he sent to her at that time were almost unchanged from the words on the screen. They were exactly the same.

Isn’t this her boyfriend?

After <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> got angry, her complexion became more and more ugly, and she wished she could teach this scammer a lesson now. But at this moment, she saw the audience’s doubts from the corner of her eye. She thought for a while, then took out her other mobile phone, and dialed her boyfriend’s number.

Suddenly, a cell phone could be heard ringing. The man picked up his mobile phone, saw that it was his girlfriend and was about to answer it, but before he could press the answer button, the other party had already hung up.

Just now, the livestream channel exploded directly, and he wasn’t aware of it at all.

[Damn, he picked up at the same time, he really is that liar.]

[This shocked my whole family, how did the host get it?]

Once <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> found her boyfriend, after a little thought, she already had a countermeasure, and she didn’t want to stay here any longer, so she turned and left.

Once she got back out to the street, her whole demeanor suddenly changed. She faced An Rugu, “Master, thank you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, before An Rugu could answer, she immediately took out her phone and swiped gifts in the livestream channel.

[<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> sent a South Sea pearl.]

[<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> sent a South Sea pearl.]

[<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> sent a South Sea pearl.]

The audience in the livestream channel watching the overwhelming and luxurious gift animations that filled the screen: “!!!”

South Sea pearls were the most expensive gift under the Shark Platform. One South Sea pearl was worth 5,000 yuan. In just a short amount of time, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> directly gave out ten South Sea pearls.

And from how she looked, she seemed like she would continue to swipe more.

Seeing her brushing non-stop, An Ruyuan immediately stopped her, “Stop swiping, you have already paid the divination fee.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> said, “This divination is worth a thousand gold.”

An Rugu candidly spoke of the future she saw. “He lied to you so that you would not meet until you have set a wedding date. He knew you were smart, so he was cautious, and thought that if the relationship was already settled, you would accept him. But your life is full of good fortune and you won’t be easily troubled by villains. In fact, this divination doesn’t count for much, and it won’t have much influence in your life.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> didn’t think so—if An Rugu hadn’t opened her eyes, she didn’t know how long she would have been deceived by this kind of scammer.

“However, I really hate being cheated, especially when it’s my feelings that are involved.” <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> frowned deeply. “This kind of person has hands and feet, why doesn’t he do something serious with his life? It’s disgusting, really disgusting.”

[Liar: I will not work part-time in this life, it is impossible to work part-time.]

[If I were a rich woman, I wouldn’t be able to stand being cheated. If I don’t cheat the other party too, I won’t be able to get rid of my hatred.]

[Hahahahaha treat the person in the same way as they treated you.]

[Am I the only one who wonders why this liar still dared to meet the rich woman and marry her? Those scammers on the Internet would usually never meet offline because they are afraid of being caught.]

[I think he wants to cheat more money.]

An Rugu looked at the bullet screens and explained, “The reason why he made this move is not actually to cheat money.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> originally thought that what she encountered today was enough to destroy her three views1, but she didn’t expect that there would be a follow-up, so she asked, “Then what is it that he wants to do?”

How can such a liar not cheat her out of money?

An Rugu thought of the other party’s red luan2 star, and said, “He likes you, that is to say, he loves you.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>: “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room: “!!!”

[How can it be?]

[But the rich woman is really good-looking, and really rich, who can resist this?]

[Laughing to death, the liar lied to enter the relationship and ended up falling when he got into the relationship.]

[You don’t know the fragrance of soft rice when you are young, sister, agree to a meet-up with me.]

[Both sides like each other, so it shouldn’t be considered cheating. Is the rich woman willing to accept her boyfriend?]

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> was not someone whose mind was filled only with love, and she wasn’t even tempted to stay with a liar boyfriend. She had just been lonely and cold sometimes and had wanted to find a companion.

After <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> calmed down, she did not change her attitude because of her boyfriend’s real feelings. “Master, I have already made a decision. I want to send him to prison, so that this liar would be punished.”

“Alright.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> did not patronize An Rugu just because she was young. “Thank you, master. Once this matter is resolved, I want to come to express my gratitude to the master in person, is that allowed?” Her voice was full of sincerity and gratitude.

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> has liked An Rugu from the beginning. Seeing how she has such a powerful ability at such a young age, she keenly realized that she would be extraordinary in the future, so she wanted to establish a good relationship now.

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> thought that the master might not want to be disturbed and was ready to be rejected.

But An Rugu didn’t refuse and instead said, “When you are done with this matter, you can come to Cloud Rise Temple and light a stick of incense.”

After hearing her words, realizing that the other party had actually agreed, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> was overjoyed.

Afterwards, An Rugu ended the call, and her eyes fell on the comments barrage. “I will do another divination today—which one of you wants to hear me calculate your fortune?”

The first time she talked about divination, almost no one was willing to do it, and only a person like <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>, who was not short of money, stepped up.

But now the comments barrage was blowing up! Many people typed ‘I want my fortune told’ on the screen, and the barrage was extremely lively.

Because anyone with a discerning eye could see that An Rugu’s divination skills are amazing.
