Before the other party could speak, Ling Yi said, "Your business is quite impressive. Starting from scratch, you bought a house and a car in three years, and have tens of millions in savings."

"Your business is unethical, but it's also a testament to your skill. But greed knows no bounds; some things are simply untouchable."

The person opposite Ling Yi was visibly taken aback upon hearing his words.

His face immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "You do have some skill, but sometimes, knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing."

"Threatening me? You're in big trouble then!" Ling Yi said with a faint smile.

"Originally, if you hadn't connected with me, although your fate wouldn't have been great, you could at least have enjoyed a few years of carefree life. There's a saying, 'You have a path to Heaven but choose not to, you have a path to Hell but choose to walk right in!'"

" Liu Yuan, the leader of the Beggar Sect' Gang in Baihai City!" Ling Yi said, typing rapidly on his phone.

"Yes, you heard right, this is the Legend leader of the Beggar Sect' Sect."

" Ling Yi, you're asking for death!" Liu Yuan roared.

He didn't care if his identity as the Beggar Sect' Sect leader was exposed, but he was afraid that Ling Yi would find out about other things.

"I must say, you're quite the talent. To be able to turn begging into an entire industry is truly impressive."

"Originally, the worst you could do was get arrested and locked up for a few years. But unfortunately, with money comes ambition. Expanding and becoming stronger, creating new glories? Ha!" Ling Yi sneered.

" Ling Yi, I'm warning you, there are some things you can say, some things you can't say, and some people you can't afford to mess with!"

"What's your hurry? Now that you've run into me, let me tell you clearly, you're finished!"

"Selling information, selling 'candy'—putting everything else aside, just selling 'candy' alone is enough to get you killed eight hundred times over."

"Damn it!" Liu Yuan cursed, and then the screen went black.

"Heh, you think I can't find you just because the connection was cut off? You can't escape!"

This Liu Yuan, with his more than two hundred " Beggar Sect disciples," roamed the streets and alleys of Baihai City.

Whose child will be there, when, and where? Which security camera is broken? Who's rich or poor? Which store just opened...?

Liu Yuan would then sell this collected information to individuals or groups such as human traffickers and thieves at extremely high prices.

They reaped huge profits from it.

Two weeks ago, he even met with Brother Li and used his " Beggar Sect disciples" to sell "candy".

This "Brother Li" is the same Brother Li who previously connected with Ling Yi and has now been arrested.

However, Liu Yuan is currently unaware that Brother Li has been arrested.

Liu Yuan contacted Ling Yi this time because he wanted Ling Yi to help him figure out where Brother Li was.

He was almost out of "candy" and wanted to ask Brother Li for another batch.

In fact, Gao Xiaoran's trip to Baihai City was also because of Liu Yuan.

Gao Xiaoran was very optimistic about Liu Yuan's " Beggar Sect," believing it to be a good channel for distributing goods.

Unfortunately, Gao Xiaoran was arrested because of Ling Yi as soon as she arrived in Baihai City.

However, Liu Yuan, the "leader of the Beggar Sect' Clan" who was determined to make his " Beggar Sect' Clan" bigger and stronger and create new glories, was unaware of all this.

Because Gao Xiaoran hadn't had a chance to officially meet with Liu Yuan yet.

Therefore, Gao Xiaoran didn't know much about Liu Yuan, which is why Liu Yuan managed to Escape during Captain Chen's big operation.

After escaping for another two years, he was finally caught when a group of human traffickers who bought information from him were arrested.

Unfortunately, this guy insisted on walking right into Ling Yi's trap, so he might as well be done for now.

Ling Yi had been sending messages to Chen Ke for a while, all in an effort to catch this guy.

After glancing at Liu Yuan's updated biography, Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, that concludes today's three live streams. Time to go offline?"

As Ling Yi finished speaking, he abruptly ended the live stream, leaving the audience bewildered.

The number of viewers in the live stream has now exceeded 500,000.

Seeing the black screen in the live stream, the viewers were momentarily at a loss for words.

It wasn't that Ling Yi didn't want to continue streaming to earn Shock Value, but Chen Ke had sent him a message hoping he would end the stream soon, as he had something to say.

It seems like things are quite urgent.

Ling Yi glanced at his system interface; his Shock Value 395 points.

That's all I've learned for today.

This outcome did not satisfy Ling Yi.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi increased his Advanced Perception by 1 level.

After adding the points, Ling Yi didn't feel much Changes.

This Advanced Perception is a passive skill; it only provides a warning when danger is encountered.

But Ling Yi was well aware of the true value of this skill.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. This skill is specifically designed to prevent Sneak Attack.

" Ling Yi, is it possible to determine a target's location and activity simply by knowing their name and birthday, or just by seeing them?"

Chen Ke called very quickly.

"Looking for someone?" Ling Yi asked.

"Yes, come to the Inspection Bureau first, we'll talk when we meet!"

Ling Yi nodded in agreement, and about twenty minutes later, Ling Yi and Shen Ling appeared in the Captain's office of the Inspection Bureau.

Besides Chen Ke, there was another middle-aged man in the office with a cold face, short stature, but a powerful Aura Field.

" Ling Yi, let me introduce you. This is Song Jiaming, Regional Director Song of the Southeast Military Region."

People from the military? Ling Yi was somewhat surprised.

"Hello, Ling Yi!" Song Jiaming extended his hand.

"Hello, Regional Director Song!" Ling Yi shook hands with the other party.

Without saying a word, Song Jiaming wrote a name and a birthday on a piece of paper.

" Ling Yi, is it possible to find this person?" Song Jiaming asked, pointing to the name on the paper.

In fact, before Song Jiaming could speak, Ling Yi had already opened the Life History System and entered his name and birthday.

After reading his biography, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh, "This person is right outside the Inspection Bureau, in Regional Director Song's car!"

This name and birthday were merely a test, or rather, a probe, by Song Jiaming.

"You can really figure that out?" Song Jiaming asked incredulously.

"Yes, as long as the information is accurate." Ling Yi nodded.

"Would a photo be okay?"

Ling Yi shook his head. He had already tried using photos and such, but the system didn't respond at all.

"It must be their name, date of birth, or you must be able to see the person in person."

"Can we connect via video?" Song Jiaming asked again.

"Can!"

"Good!"

As he spoke, Regional Director Song, took out his phone and immediately made a video call to someone.

"Old Chen, how did it go?" A middle-aged man in military uniform appeared in the video on the other end.

"I need to see you in person, either in person or via video call."

The person on the other end didn't seem surprised by this. After a moment's thought, they said, "I'll video call you in ten minutes!"

After saying that, he hung up the video call.

At this moment, Song Jiaming turned to look at Ling Yi and asked, "I've investigated you; your record is clean."

"You were abandoned by your parents at the gate of an orphanage shortly after birth, and grew up there, behaving mediocrely."

"With the help of the orphanage director, you completed primary school, middle school, university, and then started working, where you performed only moderately well!"

Song Jiaming deliberately emphasized the words "mediocre performance".

"Could you tell me who you learned your fortune-telling and hacking skills from?"

Ling Yi frowned, somewhat displeased with Song Jiaming's tone.

He knew Song Jiaming's identity and the purpose of Song Jiaming's visit. After all, as long as someone stood in front of him, they had no secrets.

Whoever it is!

Song Jiaming is not a bad person; in fact, he is a respectable individual who dedicated his life to the country.

However, this person is somewhat arrogant, likes to do things his own way, and also likes to be meticulous.

Throughout his life, he made some mistakes due to his stubbornness and excessive seriousness.

In a different setting, Ling Yi would still give him a thumbs up.

After all, no one is perfect, and this mistake is insignificant compared to the contributions he has made throughout his life.

"Sorry, this is my secret!" Ling Yi didn't make up any nonsense; it would be too easy for the other party to find out something.

Lying will only backfire, especially since this person meant no harm; they were just being overly meticulous.

But sometimes, those who take things too seriously are the most troublesome.

"A secret?" Song Jiaming was clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

Immediately following, someone asked, "This doesn't seem like fortune telling!"

Ling Yi remained silent.

Of course, this isn't fortune telling; we follow a systematic approach, specifically Life History System.

If it really was fortune telling, then Ling Yi told the truth.

Unfortunately, it isn't.

Therefore, Ling Yi could only remain silent.

Things that happen within the system must absolutely not be discussed.

"I've specifically analyzed your live stream recording and the video of you directing Captain Chen to Capture Gao Xiaoran. The information you gleaned was incredibly accurate."

"I've also met Daoist School practitioners, and even among the true masters of the Daoist School, none of them could achieve what you've done."

Upon hearing Song Jiaming's words, Chen Ke, who was standing next to him, also suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes, Ling Yi's actions weren't fortune telling at all, but what else could they be but fortune telling?

"It gives people the feeling of..." Song Jiaming paused here.

"It feels like you can see someone else's future live."

Chen Ke nodded. "That's right, that's the feeling."

"There really is Daoist School!" Ling Yi asked in return.

"Yes, some of the older generation were indeed very capable, but they passed down very little!" Song Jiaming shook his head and said.

"I'm telling you all this just to tell you not to do live streams anymore. We can see through this, and some people who are interested will naturally see through it too."

"The more Transcendent you appear, the greater the danger you will face."

Of course, there's one more thing Song Jiaming didn't say.

The more Transcendent Ling Yi is, the greater his value, and the more dangerous he becomes.

If Ling Yi uses his methods to do bad things, that would be troublesome.

This is exactly what Song Jiaming is most worried about.

"Thank you!" Ling Yi nodded.

Ling Yi had realized this long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have learned a bunch of self-defense skills.

But how do I get "Shock Value" if I'm not streaming?

The conditions for him to gain Shock Value are a bit harsh.

Shock Value can only be obtained when others are present, the event is visible, and there is real-time interaction.

On his way to the Inspection Bureau, Ling Yi kept thinking about how to better obtain Shock Value.
