After the divorce, I started to transfer

When Chen Feng looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, he subconsciously activated his special ability to foresee future dangers, and several images flashed through his mind.

Chen Feng could only predict what would happen to the other party within the next three days. Nothing happened on the first and second days, but something happened to him on the third day.

It has been confirmed that the murderer is Zhou Ruiyuan's cousin, his biological cousin, who is actually his aunt's son.

As Zhou Ruiyuan said, he has taken good care of his cousin over the past few years. His cousin had previously lent him $1 when he moved to San Francisco to open a new restaurant, and it had been four or five months since then. His cousin, however, hadn't asked for it back, which is quite kind of him.

Unexpectedly, this cousin actually killed his own cousin, which shows that human nature can be quite complex at times.

“This should be the person.” After looking at his phone for a while, Chen Feng said seriously, “I can tell from his face that it clashes with yours. He should be the one who will hurt you in the next three days.”

Because he didn't want to reveal his special abilities, Chen Feng could only use the excuse of fortune telling.

Zhou Ruiyuan was now somewhat skeptical. After all, Chen Feng had previously stated that he was neither after money nor people, and had no reason to frame his own cousin. Moreover, Chen Feng had also said that his fortune-telling ability could only foresee dangers in the next few days, which was too limited. If he really wanted to swindle money, he wouldn't have limited his abilities.

Moreover, he knew Chen Feng was probably quite wealthy, after all, Fengmang Film and Television Company was his, and it was the company that produced the two hit dramas from last year, "Qingyu'an" and "Feihua". If someone really wanted to swindle money, they wouldn't try to swindle him; he didn't actually have that much money.

After a moment of change in expression, Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head with a wry smile and said to Chen Feng, "I still don't believe my cousin would harm me. He's my cousin, his mother is my aunt, and we've known each other since childhood. He's three years younger than me. You know, I'm an only child. Although I don't treat him like my own brother, we're pretty close. Whenever he asks for help, I help him without hesitation. You could say I always grant his requests. So why would he harm me? I really can't believe it."

Chen Feng understood his attitude and wasn't angry. He simply said, "If you really can't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. However, you should still heed my warning. After all, this not only concerns your personal safety but also the safety of your wife and three children."

Although he's your cousin, people change. Especially now that he's divorced and possibly in debt, while you have a happy family, two children, and are now a farm owner, his life seems like a complete failure compared to yours. Many people are afraid of comparison, especially with their friends and family; the sense of loss is even greater then. It's normal for most people to feel resentment towards the poor and fear the rich, but if this mentality goes to extremes, it can lead to extreme actions.

Zhou Ruiyuan is 42 years old. He has worked as a street vendor for many years and has dealt with all sorts of people in society. He is certainly experienced in the ways of the world. Besides, he graduated from a junior college. He understands these life principles. He just can't accept that his own cousin would harm him.

After a long pause, Zhou Ruiyuan said, "I know you're saying this for my own good, but he is, after all, my cousin, and I still can't accept it all at once. So before anything actually happens, I can't just assume my cousin is a bad person and that he will harm me based on your side of the story. I'm sorry."

Chen Feng shook his head and said calmly, "You don't need to apologize to me. If I were in that situation, I wouldn't be able to accept it either. But I can only say that my ability to read people's faces and predict disasters is real, and very accurate. So what are you planning to do next? Your cousin is coming to visit you in the next couple of days. Are you still planning to host him? Let him stay at your house?"

Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although I still don't believe he would do anything to hurt me or my family, since you've said that, I won't be completely unprepared. I plan to meet him in downtown Los Angeles, since I'll have to pick him up from the airport anyway."

Seeing that he wasn't completely obstinate, Chen Feng felt somewhat relieved and asked, "What if he insists on coming to your house to visit your wife and three children? After all, he's your cousin. If he insists, are you going to refuse him the visit?"

Zhou Ruiyuan thought for a moment and said, "That's easy. I'll have my wife and three children stay at my mother-in-law's house first."

Chen Feng shook his head again: "You're putting yourself in a lot of danger. Do you really have to do this? Use your life to prove whether he really harmed you?"

Looking at Chen Feng's calm and composed demeanor, Zhou Ruiyuan asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"

Actually, when he asked that question, he had already begun to believe what Chen Feng had just said.

Chen Feng nodded with slight satisfaction; at least the other party hadn't let his good intentions go to waste. Of course, this also concerned the personal safety of Zhou Ruiyuan and his wife and children, so the other party couldn't afford to be careless.

Chen Feng said, “In my opinion, your cousin is probably at the lowest point in his life right now. His restaurant in San Francisco is probably about to go bankrupt. He definitely can't pay back the $1 you lent him, and he's probably already heavily in debt. Coupled with his envy and jealousy of you over the past few years, that's why he's harboring malicious intentions towards you. You can use your connections to check if what I'm saying is true. If it is, then you don't need to let him come to your house anymore; don't put yourself in danger.”

After thinking it over carefully, Zhou Ruiyuan realized that what Chen Feng said made a lot of sense. He immediately nodded and thanked him, saying, "You're right, thank you for reminding me. I'll call my fellow villagers over there right away to find out more."

After saying that, he didn't hide it from Chen Feng, and directly took out his phone to make a call, talking in Hokkien.

After making three or four phone calls, Zhou Ruiyuan finally put down his phone and said to Chen Feng with a complicated expression, "You guessed right. My cousin is poor and short-sighted. He went to San Francisco's Chinatown and took over a restaurant. I heard business was pretty good for the first month, but it went downhill in the second month. He even got into an argument with a customer, beat him up, and was sued. Not only did he have to pay compensation, but he also had his business license revoked due to complaints, and the restaurant went bankrupt."

Later, perhaps out of despair, he became addicted to gambling, mainly slot machines, and lost all his money, accumulating a mountain of debt. Now he just does odd jobs there, like a kitchen helper. I really didn't know he'd ended up like this, become like this. Yesterday, when I contacted him on WeChat, he said the restaurant was doing really well, they were so busy they'd hired two more helpers, etc. It turns out he was just lying to me.”

Finally, Zhou Ruiyuan gave a self-deprecating laugh, his face filled with a bitter and complex expression. By this point, he certainly understood that his cousin truly harbored ill intentions towards him; otherwise, he wouldn't have lied to him like this. Moreover, he had previously asked him many questions about his family and expressed his intention to come and visit him and his three children.

Chen Feng looked at him with a hint of sympathy and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Zhou Ruiyuan spread his hands, looking helpless, and said, "What can I do? The most I can do is ignore him. What else can I do?" Chen Feng laughed and said, "Your own cousin, don't you want to try to persuade him? To get him to turn back from his gambling ways and stop gambling?"

Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head helplessly: "I've seen plenty of gamblers like him. Not just here in Meilijia, but even in my hometown, there are quite a few gamblers. They used to have good families, virtuous wives, and well-behaved children, but then they got hooked on gambling, and in the end, they usually lose everything, their wives leave them, and their children are separated. Basically, none of them have a good ending. My cousin is like that now, and you can't persuade him to stop. Even if he suddenly regrets it and realizes he's stopped gambling, it's only temporary. As long as there's a suitable opportunity, he'll go back to gambling and try his best to win back his losses in one go. That's the mentality of a gambler: if they lose, they want to win back their losses; if they win back their losses, they want to win again. In the end, they all lose, without exception."

Chen Feng asked, "Does he know your home address?"

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded with a wry smile: "I've lived here for seven or eight years, of course he knows. He came a few times before, mainly before his divorce, always with his wife and children. He only came once after the divorce. He used to be really honest and hardworking, just like most men in our country. I never expected him to turn out like this. It's all fate. Now he's 39 years old and has gotten into gambling, he's basically beyond saving."

Chen Feng kindly suggested, "Then you should call him now and confront him directly. At least let him know that you're already on guard against him. Or, you could just move."

Zhou Ruiyuan sighed and complained to Chen Feng, "I suddenly have a strong urge to drink again. When I'm drunk, I don't have to think about anything, and I have no worries. Now that I have such a large family, where can I move to?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "As the old saying goes, 'There's no such thing as a thief who can be on guard against a thief for a thousand days.' I can tell you for sure that your cousin has definitely set his sights on you and is harboring ill intentions towards you. Moreover, he knows your home address and could sneak over at any time. What do you plan to do?"

Zhou Ruiyuan looked pained and frowned for a while before saying, "How about I just get involved myself? If he really has bad intentions towards me, he'll definitely do something to me when he comes over. I can catch him red-handed."

Chen Feng asked him, "Are you very skilled? The kind who can disarm a blade with his bare hands?"

Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head: "Although I fought when I was young and practiced Sanda for a while, I've never actually practiced disarming a blade barehanded. Besides, I've been living a comfortable life these past few years. At most, I do some pull-ups and jogging to maintain my physique, and I haven't practiced any combat sports. However, I have specifically trained in marksmanship. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Ruili and I are both pretty good marksmen, and we have two guns at home for self-defense. When he comes over, I'll hide the gun on my person."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "You'd better not put yourself in danger. Even if he's only carrying a knife, let alone a gun, what would you do if he stabbed you in the back when you weren't looking? It would be impossible to defend against. His life is bleak right now, and he sees no hope. He'll definitely take risks. It's very likely that he's just jealous of you, his cousin, and that's why he's plotting against you. Of course, he also wants to get some money from you so he can continue gambling and try to win back his losses. Gamblers are incurable, and it's not worth risking your life against him."

Zhou Ruiyuan immediately looked worried and asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"

Chen Feng smiled at him: "So you completely believe what I said?"

Zhou Ruiyuan immediately nodded solemnly: "If I still don't believe you, then I'd really be a fool. Actually, there have been many cases of relatives harming each other throughout history, haven't there? There are quite a few similar cases in the American Chinese community. Not to mention, there are far too many cases of fellow countrymen stabbing each other in the back."

"Okay, then I'll share my thoughts on this matter. I'll offer my suggestions; if you accept them, you can follow them; if not, that's fine too."

"Please speak." Zhou Ruiyuan solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't laugh at him, and said directly, "Since you're convinced that your cousin is trying to harm you, then of course you can act in self-defense. For example, if he hasn't obtained a green card and legal status yet, you can report him to ICE and have him deported back to China. That's the best way. If he goes back to China, he definitely won't dare to harm anyone or do anything reckless. Maybe he'll even repent and become an honest person."

Zhou Ruiyuan said with a wry smile, "He already has a green card, thanks to my help back then. In his case, unless he commits a serious crime or acts recklessly, it will be very difficult for him to be forcibly deported."

After a slight hesitation, Chen Feng continued, "Then you can't just sit here and wait to die. You can think of other ways, collect evidence against him, or even fabricate some evidence, send him in, and have him deported. Doing this would actually be good for him, because if he continues to gamble and sink deeper into depravity, his life might really be ruined. But if you send him to prison for a few years, he might behave himself when he gets out. Of course, if you can just cancel his green card and deport him, that would be the best. I believe he wouldn't dare to commit crimes so easily in our country. And he should still have family, right? His parents should still be around, right? They can keep an eye on him to some extent."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Ruiyuan said, "Thank you for your suggestion, that's a good one. Like you said, the best way is to have him deported back to China. I'll try to find a way; I know some people from my hometown in San Francisco."

Chen Feng, wanting to be a good Samaritan, suggested, "It's best to find some professionals to do it; it only costs a little money here."

Zhou Ruiyuan understood the meaning behind his words and nodded earnestly, thanking him again: "Thank you. Although I feel a little guilty, this is all I can do. It would be best to send him back, so that I can be true to my aunt and have a clear conscience."

Chen Feng gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "You're a good person, loyal and righteous. Go ahead and do it, but before that, I still suggest you expose his previous lies and tell him that he's not welcome to your home."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruiyuan immediately asked, "Won't this directly anger him?"

Chen Feng said, "Of course there's a risk of angering him, but you can't avoid confronting him. He's always thought he could keep it from you and won't give up on you unless you can handle things with ICE before he arrives and force his deportation."

Zhou Ruiyuan looked conflicted. After a long while, he sighed and said, "When he applied for his green card, I was the lawyer who found him. I helped him design and fill out some of the application materials. Some key parts were not true; they were all made up. So as long as ICE investigates and I report it, they can find out that the reasons he gave for applying for the green card were all fake and fabricated."

For example, his English was terrible, but the application materials said it was very good; also, he had been detained in China for fighting, but he didn't mention that in the application materials, and even said he had committed a crime.

Furthermore, he bought a fake passport and forged a fake birth certificate, both of which constitute immigration fraud. I'm just unsure if this will be enough to deport him. Personally, I feel it's not quite enough, so we'll need to find professionals to aggravate his crimes. However, this would mean he might have to serve several years in prison before being deported. Wouldn't that be a bit excessive? (End of Chapter)
