Chapter 18: I Also Have a Helping Hand

It wasn’t until he left Song Yuchen’s house and went downstairs that he relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, he didn’t know anything about Chinese painting at all.

What he said before were just the red words that appeared in front of his eyes. He was just following the script.

According to what he knew from his previous conversation with Song Yuchen, that Zheng Wenbing was also a painter and was quite famous in Mingyang City.

However, he was good at Western painting and was slightly inferior in the field of traditional Chinese painting.

Therefore, Chen Jing’s words just now should have been able to scare him.

However, Song Yuchen was a true fan of traditional Chinese painting. The reason why he left so quickly was because he was afraid that Song Yuchen would ask some profound questions.

If that was the case, he might not be able to answer.

“I really didn’t expect that apart from accuracy, I could see so many additional things!”

“But why couldn’t I see anything else?”

For example, in his father’s car accident, he had only guessed the existence of two pieces of evidence after countless guesses.

If he could make the second piece of evidence appear directly, he would be able to find the person who recorded using the drone according to the map.

Immediately, he tried to reexamine his father’s case with accuracy, but the result was the same as before.

The things that appeared in front of his eyes did not change a bit.

“Forget it.”

Since he could not test it out, he did not dwell on it. This ability was unpredictable to begin with. It was impossible for him to figure it out in a short amount of time.

After returning home and eating a bowl of beef noodles, Chen Jing thought that if he could see so many things from a painting today, there would undoubtedly be more topics to talk about with Song Yuchen in the future.

“It’s just that I can’t place all my hopes on this special ability. I have to look at this kind of knowledge myself. Only in this way will I not be exposed.”

His persistence was completely due to his love for Song Yuchen.

Although Song Yuchen now had a fiancé, she was not married after all. In the past, Chen Jing’s love for her could only be in secrecy.

But now that he had this special ability, he felt that if he didn’t fight for it, wouldn’t he be letting down this ability?

If he could marry a woman like Sister Yuchen, he would be more than willing.

As he thought about this, suddenly, there was a slight cracking sound. The jade safety buckle on Chen Jing’s neck broke without warning and fell to the ground.

When it fell to the ground, it immediately turned into a pile of powder.

“This…”

At first, Chen Jing did not realize what it was until he touched his neck and found that the safety buckle was gone. Only then did he realize that the safety buckle had broken.

“How did it break? I didn’t touch it anywhere either.”

He had worn this safety buckle for more than ten years. He only remembered that it was given to him by his grandfather on a birthday when he was young.

He had always treasured it. Now that it had shattered for no reason, he felt both strange and regretful.

“As the saying goes, a man raises a jade for three years, and a jade raises a man for his whole life. If this safety buckle suddenly breaks, I’m afraid it’s not a good sign.”

He seemed to be deep in thought.

Xu Yanlan saw that he was in a daze, so she asked him, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Jing came back to his senses and covered up a smile. “No, nothing. That… Mom, I’m done eating. I’m going to study. You can go ahead.”

He didn’t tell his mother about this. He knew that his mother loved superstition. If she knew, she might be worried.

When he returned to his room, he didn’t really have the mood to study.

Instead, he looked at some of his knowledge about paintings. He was looking forward to seeing Song Yuchen again next time.

At night, it wasn’t until 12 o’clock that his father, Chen Yiyuan, finally returned home.

Although he had returned so late, his expression was one of joy.

Chen Jing looked at his expression and knew that he had definitely gained something.

He asked him, “Dad, did someone really call you?”

Chen Yiyuan didn’t rush to say anything. Instead, he closed the shop door and called Xu Yanlan and Chen Jing to his room. Only then did he take out a memory card from his pocket.

“That’s right. It’s a good thing that you reminded me. As soon as today’s evening news was broadcast, not long after, someone indeed called me.”

“On the day of the accident, there was actually someone playing with a drone in that place. Indeed, it happened to record the scene of the accident. The video is in this memory card. I’ve already watched it a few times. With this video, it can completely prove my innocence. The video clearly records that Zhang Junnian intentionally crashed into me at that time.”

Xu Yanlan was incomparably excited when she heard this. “This… does this mean that we can get back all the money we spent?”

“It’s more than that, Mom. Those people framed us. Not only do we have to get back all the money they scammed us, we also have to get them to compensate us separately,” Chen Jing said.

Xu Yanlan said with an Amitabha expression. “It’s fine if they don’t compensate us. We don’t want to be scammed, but we also never want to scam. It’s good that everyone is safe and sound.”

“We can let it go in the past, but this time, it won’t be so easy to let it go.”

Chen Yiyuan paused for a moment and said the same thing.

He was also a kind and honest man, but this time, the Zhang father and son had really gone too far.

Even an honest man like him couldn’t bear it any longer. “Ah Jing is right. They will definitely have to compensate us. Moreover, they must be punished by law for what they have done.”

“This… then what if they take revenge in the future?” Xu Yanlan was a little worried.

Chen Yiyuan straightened his back and said, “Revenge? We are living righteously. We are not afraid of them taking revenge.”

Chen Jing also cooperated and said, “That’s right, Mom. No matter what era it is, it is actually the same. People who are kind are being bullied. If we don’t make them pay the price, they will really think that our family members are easy to bully.”

“Just think about it. If Dad’s car accident harmed Zhang Junnian, our building would be destroyed. They didn’t plan to let us live well from the start. Why should we let them?”

“That’s right. Ah Jing is right. We have to teach them a lesson this time. However, we can’t let this matter go public for the time being. We have to be fully prepared so that we can give them a fatal counterattack,” Chen Yiyuan said.

The Zhang father and son were no longer a problem. Chen Yiyuan’s idea was to find out who was behind the Zhang father and son and bring them to justice.

“I’ll go to Officer Liu first thing in the morning to file a report. Yes, I’ll also have to hire a lawyer. In addition, my classmate from the television station has promised to broadcast this matter on the afternoon news tomorrow. As long as this matter blows up, no matter how rich and powerful the other party is, they won’t be able to escape easily.”

“Well done, Dad.” Chen Jing clapped his hands.

It had to be said that this matter was indeed handled flawlessly.

Looking at his father’s excited expression, he suddenly took out his cell phone. “Speaking of which, I also have a helping hand here!”
