“Don’t tell me you guys think that I’m the one who created all these things?”
“I’ve lived in the village all my life. 1 didn’t know that there were these things in the mansion.”
“The two of you have been living here for some time. If even you didn’t notice
it, how could I know?”
“Besides, what good is there in scaring you?”
Grandpa Jiang put away the unnatural expression on his face and got angry.
This broken house had been uninhabited for decades.
What benefits could he get?
“There must be something wrong with you!”
“Just now, Dr. Chen pointed out that there’s something wrong with this wall,” Zhou Kexin said sternly. “1 saw that you were very nervous when we took out the mini speaker from inside.”
“Although the nervous expression only stayed on your face for a few seconds,”
“But I can be sure you were really nervous then.”
“Since you didn’t do anything wrong, why are you so nervous?”
Zhou Kexin told them about her accidental discovery.
There was a painting of a woman in a cheongsam on the wall, covered by a layer of lime powder.
It would only appear when it encountered water and rain.
Who painted this painting?
Did a wealthy young master living in the countryside know the principles of light?
Could anyone prove that the tragic love story that Grandpa Jiang was talking about had really happened?
“That’s right. You said that the woman died for love and turned into a malicious ghost to harass the original owner of this old house. Can anyone prove it?”
Hu Liang followed up on Zhou Kexin’s words and questioned Grandpa Jiang. If he could find a witness, he would believe that Grandpa Jiang wasn’t the one behind this.
Pan Yueling took the Bluetooth speaker from Hu Liang’s hand and frowned slightly.
“Grandpa Jiang, you’d better tell the truth.”
“Hu Liang and 1 used to be programmers. No one knows this kind of electronic equipment better than us.”
“As long as I get my hands on a computer, I can check whose phone was connected to this Bluetooth speaker.”
“If you continue to deny it, 1’11 have to investigate it myself.”
“When we get the evidence, we will immediately hand it over to the authorities.”
Hu Liang was stunned at first, but he immediately understood what his girlfriend meant.
She was trying to trick Grandpa Jiang. contemporary romance
She deliberately brought up their previous occupations to scare Grandpa Jiang.
This was so that she could get the truth out of the old man.
Understanding his girlfriend’s meaning, Hu Liang gave her a thumbs up without batting an eyelid.
He took out his phone and found a photo of the two of them before a tech company.
Knowing how to use Bluetooth to connect to his phone and play tricks, Grandpa Jiang was definitely not an ordinary old man.
He was no stranger to the Internet.
“If you want to investigate, go ahead. A group of people who don’t know the meaning of good people.”
With that, Grandpa Jiang strode away.
“Dr. Chen, what should we do now? Should we stop him?”
Hu Liang and Pan Yueling subconsciously thought Grandpa Jiang had a guilty conscience.
He planned to wipe his feet and run away.
“Grandpa Jiang,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile, ignoring the two’s inquiries.
“Aren’t you worried your son will be implicated because of your departure?”
Grandpa Jiang, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks when he heard this.
Immediately after, Grandpa Jiang slowly turned around and stared at Chen Yu deeply.
“Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much?”
From the moment Chen Yu splashed the mineral water on the wall, Grandpa Jiang had already determined that there was something wrong with Chen Yu.
Now, Chen Yu’s mention of Grandpa Jiang’s son made him even more nervous.
“I’m a psychologist.”
“Grandpa Jiang, if you have any psychological needs in the future, you are welcome to look for me at River Street.”
Smiling, Chen Yu revealed the specific address of his psychological treatment room.
“Don’t lie to me. A psychologist can’t possibly know so many things!”
Grandpa Jiang’s mouth twitched.
“No matter how much I know, it’s not as detailed as what you know.”
“For example, cultural relic dealers.”
After hearing the words ‘cultural relic dealers’, Grandpa Jiang’s expression immediately changed.
His heartbeat also began to accelerate.
Chen Yu slowly walked to the living room’s door. He first touched the window frame beside the door and knocked on the door.
“Red sandalwood, red rosewood, nanmu, ginkgo wood.”
“These are all high-grade woods. Even after a hundred years, their value won’t be affected.”
“This mansion, which is an imitation of Hu Guangyong’s mansion, is full of elegance.”
“Even the metal objects in this old mansion are all high-grade antiques.”
“Grandpa Jiang, I’m sure your heart bled as you watched the beams made of nanmu being replaced one by one.”
Hu Liang gasped.
The original beams he had treated as trash were made of nanmu.
Before renovating the house, he and his girlfriend did a series of homework.
He had a rough understanding of the quality and price of the wood.
Red sandalwood, red rosewood, nanmu, and ginkgo wood.
These were all precious pieces of wood.
Their prices were sky-high.
This was especially true for the red rosewood, which cost more than ten thousand yuan per log.
Wait a minute!
Chen Yu said that this was an imitation of Hu Guangyong’s mansion.
In other words,
The entire house was a replica of Hu Xueyan’s former residence.
No wonder this place will soon become an iconic cultural relic protection unit.
The former residence of Hu Xueyan in Hangzhou City was also an iconic cultural relic unit.
“I understand now! You tried to drive us away in order to steal the cultural relics here!”
Pan Yueling came to her senses instantly.
Cultural relic dealers, all kinds of precious wood.
The answer was obvious.
A skilled craftsman made the old mansion, which cost thousands of taels of silver.
The tables, chairs, stools, porches, and window frames inside were all cultural relics.
“No wonder when we bought this place, the entire mansion was in ruins. Even the door was torn down.”
“Did you do all this?”
“The original knocker, the missing windows, and other furniture. Did you steal them all?”
The more Pan Yueling thought about it, the angrier she got.
After hearing from Grandpa Jiang that this place was haunted, she thought she had met a kind-hearted person.
He couldn’t bear to keep them in the dark, so he told them the truth.
She did not expect that this old man was a crook at heart.
He was trying to scare them away so he could continue stealing the cultural relics here.
“Don’t be angry. I’ll talk to him.”
Chen Yu comforted Hu Liang and Pan Yueling with a smile.
“Grandpa Jiang, it’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.”
“However, stealing cultural relics is illegal. Moreover, they are the owners of this place now.”
“They have the right to know what happened here.”
“If you really don’t want to tell them, there are some things that I can only tell them.”
“About a few months ago, you met a man at the mansion’s entrance,” Chen Yu said after pausing for a moment.
“This person kept looking at the old mansion’s green stone bricks and praising them.”
“Next, he took out some tools to pry these green stone bricks open.”
“You berated this person and asked him if he’s a cultural relic dealer.”
“The other party was blunt and admitted he was a cultural relic dealer.”
“After two days, this person came to you and said he wanted to cooperate with you to buy this old house.”
“He will give you a reward of one million yuan..”
