Li Shu glanced at the painting on the wall and explained, "This is what it originally looked like. It's only because of an evil spirit that it has become what you see."
Li Chenyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Fairy sister, is the evil thing you're talking about the female ghost inside?"
Li Shu nodded slightly, "Yes, that thing used this to kill many people, so I just took care of her in there."
Li Chenyuan felt a pang of fear when he heard this. He had always thought that he was in a dream and that it would be okay if he died. If the fairy sister had not suddenly appeared and saved him, he would probably have really gone to see the King of Hell.
Qin Can's eyes flickered slightly, and he patted Li Chenyuan's shoulder and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where did you get this painting from?"
"It was given to me by Li Yanze, my illegitimate brother..." Li Chenyuan said as he suddenly realized something. His pupils suddenly contracted, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed shock and astonishment that could not be concealed. "Brother Can, is Li Yanze going to kill me?!"
Qin Can originally thought he had found the painting from some antique street, but he didn't expect it to be a gift from his illegitimate brother. He said speechlessly, "No, you're too careless. After all, he's a illegitimate son. Who knows if he has any intentions to harm you? You shouldn't be on guard. Not only did you accept the painting, but you also hung it by the bed."
Li Chenyuan scratched his hair and said in confusion: "But why would he want to harm me? My father brought him back to be trained as the heir."
"No matter what, he is an illegitimate child. Even if your father trains him as the heir now, half of the Li family's property will be yours in the future. He will definitely not be satisfied. As long as he gets rid of you quietly and no one suspects him, the entire Li family will be his in the future, right?" Qin Can said with a regret.
"Yes, Brother Can is right." Zhang Zhe nodded and continued, "Besides, if Brother Can hadn't thought this painting was a little strange and took a picture of it and sent it to Master Li, we would have thought you were not here and would have prepared to go back."
Li Chenyuan never expected that his illegitimate brother, who was usually respectful to him, would have such harmful intentions. He always thought that he was a good person and a pitiful man, so he didn't care too much about his illegitimate identity. He didn't expect that he would be so cruel and want to kill him.
"Brother Chan, what do you think I should do now? I don't have any evidence to accuse him. If I tell others about being sucked into the painting, people will think I'm crazy."
Qin Can looked at the silent girl next to him and was about to ask her what to do when a light bulb went off in his head. He suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up. "Master, don't you have that mantra talisman that you used on Shao Jing last time? Let's use it on Li Yanze now. Wouldn't that make him confess everything?"
Li Shu raised an eyebrow. Li Chenyuan was Qin Can's friend, so she would naturally lend a hand if she could. Besides, they were both wealthy young masters, so this was essentially a business that came to her doorstep. "Yes, we can do that."
After Qin Can got a positive answer, he looked at Li Chenyuan again, as if he knew what his master was thinking. The next second, he heard him say, "But Chenyuan, we are not helping you for free..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Chenyuan immediately spoke up, "Brother Can, money is easy to talk about, as long as you can help me expose him!"
Qin Can coughed lightly and cleared his throat. "Brother Can, I won't cheat you. I'll rescue you from the painting and help you deal with the subsequent matters, and I'll only charge you 20 million."
"Twenty million?" Li Chenyuan scratched his hair and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Can, I'm a little short of money recently. Can you give me a better discount?"
Qin Can frowned, "Last time, Zhang Zhe also encountered a dangerous situation similar to yours. I also accepted a lot from him, and he agreed without saying anything."
Li Chenyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he came to his senses, looked up at Zhang Zhe, and asked curiously, "What happened to you?"
Zhang Zhe waved his hand. "Oh, it was that time when we went hiking in the mountains. Didn't we see a red sedan chair on the mountain? Didn't I go up and lift the curtain? Then, when I got back, didn't I receive a wedding invitation? I even asked you if you had received one."
Li Chenyuan nodded, "Yes, I remember, and then what?"
Zhang Zhe said, "Then I was haunted by a female ghost. If I hadn't run into Brother Can and Master Li while out for dinner and told them about it, I would have gone to see the King of Hell a long time ago."
Li Chenyuan said in shock, "Damn, I thought your wedding invitation was a prank from someone else."
"So the 20 million is well worth it." Zhang Zhe patted his shoulder. "Besides, your life isn't even worth 20 million? If you don't have money, ask your dad for it!"
"By the way, Master Li only supports bank transfers."
Qin Can's mouth twitched slightly. Wow, this kid is really good. Not only did he directly quote what he said to him last time, but he also said what he wanted to say next.
"Okay, 20 million!" Li Chenyuan nodded and turned to look at Li Shu, "Fairy Sister, I'll give you half first, and I'll give you the rest later."
"Okay." Li Shu's eyes flickered. She didn't expect that her little apprentice was so sensible. He had negotiated the deal without her saying anything. Even Zhang Zhe became much smarter.
Well, that’s good. The boy is teachable and has a promising future.
…
Here, the four of them left the villa and went to the Li family together.
"Young Master, why did you come back suddenly?" When the Li family's housekeeper saw Li Chenyuan coming in from outside and the few people following him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Chenyuan frowned, "Where else can I go if I don't come back?"
"Didn't the second young master say that you were going abroad to play?" the butler said in surprise.
Li Chenyuan snorted coldly. Li Yanze probably didn't expect that he could come back alive. He wondered how he would react when he saw him later. He would probably be shocked.
"Where is Li Yanze?"
"The second young master went to the company with the master." The butler replied.
Li Chenyuan hummed and ordered, "Okay, I understand. Go downstairs and ask someone to make some tea."
"Yes." The butler nodded, paused when his eyes fell on Li Shu, then greeted Qin Can and Zhang Zhe and left the living room.
Li Chenyuan glanced at the butler's back as he left, then turned to look at the three people behind him, "Sister Fairy, Brother Can, and Zhang Zhe, you guys go sit on the sofa first. I'm going to call my dad."
"Okay." Li Shu nodded slightly and took the lead to walk towards the sofa.
Qin Can and Zhang Zhe naturally followed closely behind.
