Although Zhao Zhuang still had some doubts about Li Cheng's words, the facts were now before his eyes.
Li Cheng used silver needles to treat him. After Yan Xu's fever subsided, Zhao Jianguo woke up immediately.
This forced Zhao Zhuang to believe Li Cheng's statement.
But he simply couldn't believe that a painting could have such great power.
"Your Majesty, please accept my greeting. It is my fault that I did not recognize the true master and did not believe in His Majesty's ability just now."
Zhao Zhuang turned to look at Li Cheng and was about to kowtow and apologize to him.
"No, no, no, I can't bear your kowtow to me. You are the mayor, the most important person in Qingzhou. If you kowtow to me, you will shorten my lifespan. I still want to live a few more years."
Li Cheng hurriedly pulled Zhao Zhuang to stop him from doing that.
"King Qingluan, from now on, if you have any problem, please contact me anytime, anywhere. Just say a word and I will help you with whatever I can and cannot do."
Zhao Zhuang's voice was firm.
"Don't say that. I won't let you do anything that is against the will of heaven."
"By the way, don't call me King Qingluan. I don't feel comfortable with it. It's better to call me Li Cheng."
Li Cheng said to Zhao Zhuang.
"Yes, Li Cheng."
Zhao Zhuang nodded in agreement.
"I never thought he would be so capable at such a young age. The young are truly formidable."
Zhao Jianguo sat up from the bed alone, clasped his hands together and said to Li Cheng.
"Mr. Zhao, you're joking. Mr. Zhao is a righteous man. The evil thing didn't completely penetrate your body, so I was able to heal you."
Li Cheng waved his hand in response.
Zhao Zhuang turned his head and saw that Zhao Jianguo sat up by himself and was even trying to stand up and walk. The expression on his face was even more incredible.
Although someone had been able to wake Zhao Jianguo up before, the thing Zhao Jianguo talked about most after waking up was his headache, and he had no ability to stand up at all.
Now that I can stand up so easily, it seems that I have really solved the root of the problem.
"Zhao Zhuang, take Li Cheng and Xiao Xu downstairs and wait. I'll change my clothes and come down."
Zhao Jianguo said to Zhao Zhuang.
"good."
Zhao Zhuang nodded in agreement, then gestured to Li Cheng and Yan Xu to come in.
The three of them went downstairs first and sat on the sofa in the living room. Yan Xu asked again, "Old Zhao, can you tell me now? Where did that painting come from?"
"You know Changsheng Group, right?"
Zhao Zhuang looked at Yan Xu and asked.
"Of course, Changsheng Group has been fighting against me for many years, but they stopped fighting a few days ago and stopped attacking my company."
"I thought Changsheng Group definitely didn't have the ability to fight me, so I ignored it."
Yan Xu replied.
"This painting was sent by Changsheng Group. There were also many appraisal reports from appraisers at the time, all of which confirmed it to be authentic."
"The old man really likes that painting. After all, you know his personality. He has a bad temper and is ferocious, just like the tiger in the painting."
Zhao Zhuang shook his head slightly and said.
"That painting isn't an original, but it's not a fake either. It's probably a high-quality imitation from a hundred years ago. It was buried as a burial object, and when it was later dug up, it was contaminated with a lot of evil spirits."
"If I'm not mistaken, Changsheng Group must have found someone to help them, and the person who helped them told them this solution, absorbing the luck of others and allowing Changsheng Group to go further."
Li Cheng explained the origin of the painting.
"Changsheng Group actually dared to frame our Zhao family like this. I will never give them any chance."
After Zhao Zhuang finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
The ringing lasted for a few seconds and then the call was connected.
"Go to Changsheng Group now and take them under control. Don't let any of them leave."
Zhao Zhuang spoke in a serious voice and hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.
"Li Cheng, you have the ability to figure out who came up with this idea for Changsheng Group. Please come with me to check it out later."
Zhao Zhuang pleaded.
Only if Li Cheng goes along can this matter be completely resolved. If Li Cheng does not go along, they will have no way to completely resolve the Changsheng Group.
"Okay, since the mayor said so, I will definitely do my best."
Li Cheng nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Zhao Jianguo came down from upstairs. At this moment, Zhao Jianguo was full of energy, completely different from the Zhao Jianguo lying on the bed.
"Li Cheng, Xiao Xu, don't leave tonight. Stay here tonight. Let's drink and don't leave until we are drunk."
Zhao Jianguo said to Li Cheng and Yan Xu with a big laugh.
"Mr. Zhao, you've just recovered, and it's a brain problem. Although the root cause is completely clear, it's better for you to drink less at your age."
Li Cheng reminded Zhao Jianguo.
"I understand. Don't worry. I'm happy today, so drink less."
Zhao Jianguo answered with a smile.
"Dad, you and Yan Xu can chat at home. Li Cheng and I are going out for a while and will be back soon."
Zhao Zhuang said to Zhao Jianguo.
"Go ahead, and remember to bring Li Cheng back. I want to thank him tonight."
Zhao Jianguo instructed.
"yes."
Zhao Zhuang nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them drove out of the Municipal Party Committee compound and headed for Changsheng Group.
On the way, Zhao Zhuang asked Li Cheng how he knew there was something wrong with the painting, and asked some questions about Li Cheng's past.
Li Cheng said everything he should say, and naturally he wouldn't say anything he shouldn't say.
The two of them were quite harmonious and nothing unpleasant happened.
Not long after, Li Cheng arrived at the gate of Changsheng Group. He saw many police cars parked there, and there were people guarding the gate. There were also many people standing in the lobby of Changsheng Group.
Li Cheng saw the panic expressions on these people's faces and felt that this was really unnecessary.
"Mayor Zhao, there's no need for this. Those employees definitely wouldn't do that. Let them go first. As long as their leaders are still here, it's fine."
Li Cheng said to Zhao Zhuang.
"I'm afraid they'll mix in with these employees and leave together."
Zhao Zhuang expressed his concerns.
"Then let me find a place to watch. If anything happens, I'll take action immediately."
Li Cheng said.
Zhao Zhuang nodded slightly in agreement.
Then the two of them opened the door, got out of the car and walked to the gate of Changsheng Group.
"Now you take out your IDs and leave one by one."
Zhao Zhuang said.
After hearing this, the people inside took out their ID cards.
The people at the door checked them one by one and only let them go after making sure there were no problems.
Everyone in the hall was about to leave, and Li Cheng didn't see any suspicious people appear. He now suspected that the other party was upstairs and didn't intend to fish in troubled waters.
But when these last few people arrived, Li Cheng moved. He came to the door and blocked the way of a middle-aged man.
