Holding Chen Cheng in my arms, I stood in the corner for a while, "I'll have something to eat and go to the city later."
"I've prepared it, let's go eat together."
Chen Cheng leaned on my shoulder and spoke slowly, his cheeks slightly red.
After eating, I changed my clothes and went out immediately.
Since I was already on bail, it would be a bit embarrassing to go to the police station to find Liu Qingzhong, so I chose to go to the Antiques Association.
I took out the badge from the entrance of the hall and took Chen Cheng straight to the Antiques Association.
"I want to find the president."
After getting out of the elevator and arriving at the front desk of the Antiques Association, I spoke directly.
After notifying me at the front desk at the elevator entrance, he politely took me into a room next to me and asked Chen Cheng and I to wait.
I observed this room. It has no windows and is very airtight. There is not even a surveillance camera...
It was obvious that this place was used by Liu Qingzhong for secret conversations.
"Shen Fan, I almost forgot that you can be released on bail."
Liu Qingzhong walked into the room with a smile and closed the door.
The moment he closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared, "Have you... thought about it?"
"Of course, I've thought about it."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have tried to find you."
I sat upright, keeping all the anger in my heart, leaving only a smile on my face.
"I hope to hear an answer that satisfies me."
Liu Qingzhong nodded slightly, his eyes staring at me all the time.
"I promise to do something for you, but I have conditions."
I stared at him, frowning, "Give me back the house I rented first."
"That's no problem, but...I can give you something better."
There was a trace of ridicule in Liu Qingzhong's eyes, "How about the Haoting Apartment next to Dongxing Pedestrian Street?"
"No, I prefer the rental house in Xintiandi."
I waved my hand and said, "Second, remove my guilt."
"Isn't that certain?"
There was ridicule on Liu Qingzhong's face, "I will take care of your crime and rent the house for you, and I will let you keep the door open."
"Say something you want."
"there is none left."
After hearing my words, Liu Qingzhong's eyes were full of doubt.
He glanced at his phone and confirmed the message, "You have been living in an old house in the suburbs these days. Did you meet any friends who persuaded you?"
"of course not."
I rejected it directly, "Let's talk about what you want me to do."
"this……"
Liu Qingzhong was stunned. From the look on his face, he seemed to have been ready to send me to prison until I died.
Now my performance caught him off guard.
"In such a short time...why do you suddenly want to follow me?"
He took a deep breath and kept his eyes on me, analyzing every detail of his movements.
It seems that he won't believe me until he understands my motives.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
"Think about the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao and created eight hundred to one hundred thousand men."
"Secretary Liu is a person who can achieve great things. You need me, and I really can't find any reason to refuse."
I smiled easily and said, "To be honest..."
I suddenly grabbed Chen Cheng's hand and said, "I want to get married."
"Oh, it turns out you are not Zhang Liao, you are Wu Sangui!"
Seeing my action, Liu Qingzhong immediately thought of Wu Sangui, who was so angry that he became a beauty.
The suspicion in his eyes about me has been reduced by half.
Immediately, Liu Qingzhong threw out a wad of banknotes and said, "You take the money first, I will contact you later."
"By the way, I will help you solve any crime."
"As for... you like that house in Xintiandi, then I will get it for you."
Before leaving, Liu Qingzhong said casually.
I breathed a sigh of relief as I left the Antique Society.
"Shen Fan, I have been with you for so long, and you were lying just now."
Chen Cheng spoke slowly as she walked towards Dongxing Pedestrian Street. Her cheeks were always red and her expression was a little unnatural.
"If you are willing to go into danger with me, I am willing to marry you."
As I said that, I held Chen Cheng in my arms, "It may be a lie, or it may not be."
Soon, Chen Cheng and I returned to Lu Yunchuan’s ancestral house to pack our things.
"Lu Yunchuan, come to work tomorrow."
My words made Lu Yunchuan excited.
"Brother Shen, is that case settled?"
"Did they find out?"
Lu Yunchuan was eager to seek confirmation, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
I nodded slightly, thinking that I couldn't let this young man go to die with me.
The less he knew, the safer he was.
The next day, it was "certified" by a professional organization.
They confirmed that the Han sword in my store was a high imitation handicraft.
At the same time, the Cultural Relics Management Office also gave me some apology and compensation.
I know in my heart that this is just the beginning, and the plan for Liu Qingzhong and Tao Ronghua must be "opened" bit by bit.
After hearing the news, the first person to come was Zhou Jianguo.
"Brother Shen, congratulations."
On the way to get off work that day, I was stopped by Zhou Jianguo’s car and said, “Uncle Qi wants to talk to you.”
There was no happiness in Zhou Jianguo's eyes, but instead there was anger and confusion in them.
"Now that I can come out, I think you should know the whole story."
I spoke slowly. In order to ensure their safety, I had to distance myself from the relationship. "It's best for us not to contact each other."
"Get in the car first."
Zhou Jianguo asked someone to pull Chen Cheng and I into the car.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"Uncle Qi has made it very clear before that he can protect you!"
He scolded sternly, somewhat hating that iron could not be transformed into steel.
"Thank you, Uncle Seven, for me. If you are only looking for me for these things, I don't think there is any need to continue talking."
I had to show that I was alienating my seventh uncle so that Liu Qingzhong wouldn't be suspicious.
Liu Qingzhong didn't give me a "task" from the beginning, probably for this reason.
"Chen Cheng, tell me, what exactly is Shen Fan going to do?"
Zhou Jianguo was almost roaring. I could tell that he thought I was bewitched.
"I am with Shen Fan, and of course I respect his decision."
Chen Cheng said, holding my hand tightly.
She was not used to lying, and her hands were shaking, but her expression did not change.
"You go talk to uncle Qi about these things!"
After Zhou Jianguo finished speaking, he fell into silence and looked at me with a little regret.
In the car, I already had a feeling - my seventh uncle was coming to question and make things difficult for me.
After passing this level, maybe I can make Liu Qingzhong believe in my "loyalty".
All the plot is in my mind, and every step is accurately calculated - including the seventh uncle coming to see me.
At this moment I was extremely calm and prepared for everything.
As the car drove into Uncle Seventh's villa, Chen Cheng's hands were shaking badly.
"It's okay, I'm here."
I said placing my other hand on hers as well.
When I walked into the hall, I heard my seventh uncle scolding me.
"Originally, my granddaughter said that you and Tao Ronghua were colluding, but I didn't believe it."
The seventh uncle looked at me with anger on his face and stared at me fiercely, "Good guy, you actually cooperated with Secretary Liu to take over a piece of my land that enriches the people and flowers and birds!"
He was naturally referring to Liu Qingzhong's plan to open a court in Fumin Flower and Bird.
I raised my head, silent, and stared at him.
"Explain it."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to leave today."
