Chess Dao deduction was not omnipotent.
It relied on the "known" to calculate the "unknown," not some mystical divination.
Thus, Chen Yi could calculate many things, yet there were also many things he could not.
For instance, Yan Fusha of the Five Poisons Sect had abruptly abducted Pei Guanli.
For instance, "Jackal" Du Cang had followed the scent Chen Yi left behind to the Xiao Family, then kidnapped Xiao Wan'er.
For instance, Liu Hong had laid out a grand scheme and plotted over the disaster victims.
Chen Yi could at most deduce that Liu Hong was plotting something major, but he had no way to deduce exactly what Liu Hong was plotting.
Because the necessary clues were missing.
But regarding Liu Hong visiting the Xiao Family tomorrow, Chen Yi could roughly deduce his intentions.
The reason was simple.
At present, aside from dying or fleeing, Liu Hong had no road left to take.
For him to still make a trip to the Xiao Family in such circumstances, he could not possibly be going there just to let Old Master Xiao mock and humiliate him.
That did not suit Liu Hong's temperament.
After thinking it over, only one possibility remained—he wanted to find a way to throw a punch at the Xiao Family.
The harm might not be great, but the humiliation...

He could vaguely see dozens of Judicial Officers in rain capes and bamboo hats heading out into the night.
General Star, Female Tiger, and Luanfeng wore gold and silver Tiger-Striped Masks, each leading a group of Judicial Officers as they rushed toward different parts
