"Wenhai, what they're saying... is it true?"

The middle-aged woman looked at her husband in disbelief, asking in a trembling voice.

"Why do you believe everything others say?"

"For the past ten years, we've traveled across the country to find our child. Was that all fake?"

"Does our relationship as husband and wife not mean more than a few words from others?"

Zhang Wenhai had been a bit flustered earlier, but he had now calmed down.

He spoke, his words powerful and resonant.

So much so that the middle-aged woman felt a bit ashamed and embarrassed.

"Daoist, did you... did you make a mistake?"

The middle-aged woman turned her head toward the screen.

Her intuition told her that the other party must have made a mistake.

How could the child's abduction possibly be related to her husband?

"Heh!"

Lu Heng gave a faint smile and didn't provide further explanation.

His eyes, hidden behind the mask, looked at Zhang Wenhai again and softly said, "Young Friend Zhang, may I ask you some questions?"

"Daoist, my wife and I came to you with the utmost trust to have our fortunes told."

"But why are you trying to mudsling me?"

Zhang Wenhai said angrily.

Ignoring him, Lu Heng continued, "Young Friend Zhang, I deduced that due to an accident in your early years, you've lost your reproductive ability..."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Before Lu Heng could finish his sentence, Zhang Wenhai impatiently retorted, "If I didn't have reproductive ability, how could we have a child?"

"If I couldn't have a child, I wouldn't have wasted ten years traveling across the country to find one!"

Lu Heng shook his head and continued, "Then do you remember Dr. Liu from the Reproductive Department of the Beihai City Central Hospital?"

"I... I don't know what you're talking about!"

"I've never been to any central hospital."

"And as for this Dr. Liu, I've never met him either."

Zhang Wenhai's face turned pale, and he kept shaking his head.

Despite his confident words, others could see that there was a problem.

"The Daoist knows everything; if he says you have no reproductive ability, then you definitely don't!"

"I choose to blindly trust the Daoist!"

"This... this is a bit outrageous! If Brother Zhang doesn't have reproductive ability, then how did the child come to be?"

"I know, but I just don't want to say it!"

"To think there's such a bomb hidden behind ten years of searching for the child?"

"The Daoist is formidable! He directly detonated the bomb!"

"Tonight wasn't wasted! What a great drama this was!"

"Old Zhang, there's no need to argue in front of the Daoist."

"Just seeing you pretend to be calm, we already know that you truly are infertile!"

"No wonder the child was abducted ten years ago; there was a mole!"

The audience buzzed with discussions as comments filled the live stream.

Meanwhile, after listening to the conversation between Lu Heng and Zhang Wenhai, the middle-aged woman was left in a daze, her face blank.

Lu Heng continued, "Thirteen years ago, when you found out your wife was pregnant, your emotions must have been very complex."

"You needed this child because you needed to prove to others that you weren't infertile."

"But you also resented this child because you knew your condition meant you couldn't make your wife pregnant."

"You... you..."

Zhang Wenhai's eyes turned red, and he was panting like an old bellows.

"In your hometown, child abductions are rampant."

"So one day, you intentionally took the child outside to play, then went alone to buy a pack of cigarettes."

"When you returned, the child was predictably gone."

"At that moment, your feelings were as conflicted as when your wife first got pregnant, a mix of fulfillment and a hint of reluctance."

"After all, you'd cared for the child for three years, and whether it's a kitten or a puppy you've raised for three years, there's bound to be some affection."

Lu Heng spoke slowly.

"Enough!"

"Stop talking!"

Zhang Wenhai suddenly shouted.

His shout awoke his dazed wife beside him.

The middle-aged woman's eyes were full of sorrow.

"Is everything the Daoist said true?"

Unable to fight the pain in her heart, she still asked.

"It's true! All of it is true!"

"Do you know how I felt when you told me you were pregnant?"

"Damn it, I'm infertile and can't have children!"

"And yet you were pregnant. What do you want me to do?"

"How do you expect me to face a child that has no blood relation to me but was born from my wife's womb?"

Zhang Wenhai roared hysterically.

"Wenhai, I... I'm so sorry..."

"That night I was just drunk; I didn't think..."

The middle-aged woman sobbed as she explained.

"And did you know that the man who got you pregnant even sent me photos from that time?"

"You were smiling like a flower. Drunk, huh?"

Zhang Wenhai shouted angrily.

"I... I..."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman was utterly stunned.

"Let's calm down and get a divorce!"

"I've had enough over these ten years too!"

After saying this, Zhang Wenhai turned and left directly.

"Wenhai... Wenhai..."

The middle-aged woman, looking at her husband's back, silently cried.

Seeing this, Lu Heng decisively chose to end the call.

The spectators, having witnessed the spectacle, still felt a bit dissatisfied, as if wanting more.

"I didn't expect the story to end like this."

"When I first read about the couple searching for their child for ten years, I admired them, but I didn't expect they were already estranged."

"Being infertile himself, yet his wife was pregnant—it's impressive Brother Zhang could endure it."

"Whoever can endure what others cannot is a true ninja turtle!"

"No more talking, my wife just got pregnant, I'm off to check the reproductive department."

"I should check too... wait, I don't have a wife! That was close..."

"No need to check, I'll just assume it's my child! Give me a chance, and I'm willing to have the child take my surname!"

"Sob sob... I've never even held a girl's hand, and I can't help but cry."

"This guy named Zhang is quite shameless. He should have made things clear from the start, either divorce or no child. Was all this drama necessary?"

"Exactly, either divorce outright or abort the child, but instead, the child was born only to be intentionally abducted. It's absurd!"

"Brother Zhang must have been stifled; the child wasn't his, yet he still had to accompany his wife to find it."

"Indeed, it's tough being a man!"

The audience sighed with infinite emotion.

At that moment, Lu Heng suddenly spoke up, "Actually, you misunderstood again!"

"The one who wanted to go out and find the child wasn't the wife; it was Zhang Wenhai, the husband!"

"After the child was abducted, Zhang Wenhai couldn't help feeling sad and suggested going out to find the child."

"His intentions were good, but unfortunately later on..."
