Chapter 024 Jinjiang Debut
"Did you offend someone recently when you were fortune-telling? Now they are looking for revenge? How about you hide first?"
Lame Brother whispered to Bai Mian behind him, and Bai Mian shook his head: "I won't leave. If this happened because of me, then I must face it myself."
The group of people were getting closer and closer. Sister Yang had already skillfully hidden behind the shelves. Gao Jin was so scared that her hands and feet were cold. She shook Weng Xuhua's shoulders and said:
"Old man, what's going on? The people my young disciple caught while fortune-telling were all criminals. They have been locked up by the police and will serve many years in prison. Even if they want to take revenge, how can they be released in just two days?"
Weng Xuhua held her hand, coaxed Gao Jin softly, asked her to go back to the room on the second floor to hide first, and sat at the table ready for action.
When the group of people came to the table, before they could say what they wanted, Lame Brother rolled up his sleeves, showing off his arm muscles, and shouted at them:
"Hey, you're here to cause trouble on purpose, right?"
When the middle-aged woman who was calling heard what Lame Brother said, she immediately stepped forward to explain:
"Master, there is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Don't look at our large numbers, we have no ill intentions. These people are all our relatives, the children's aunts, uncles, etc. I asked them to come here because I want to consult you about a question."
After hearing what she said, the people in the store lowered their guard. Lame Brother stepped aside from Bai Mian. Bai Mian looked at the family. They all had dark clouds on their faces. It seemed that something urgent had happened at home. She said to the middle-aged woman who was leading the group:
"Don't worry, tell me what happened?"
The middle-aged woman sat down in front of Bai Mian and said anxiously, "Master, you must help me. Our family heirloom is lost!"
"Heirloom?" Lame Brother became interested when he heard it, and moved a chair to sit next to Bai Mian to eat melon.
The middle-aged woman gestured with her hands and said, "That is a piece of jade Guanyin, about this big, with good water head, emerald, and the carving is done by a master. This is an heirloom passed down through three generations of my husband's family. We have even asked an agency to estimate its price before. If we want to sell it, that piece of jade Guanyin can be sold for six figures!"
"Six figures..." Lame Brother thought for a moment, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, "Isn't that hundreds of thousands? How could you lose something worth hundreds of thousands?"
The middle-aged woman said with a sad face: "That's why I'm so anxious now! People have preserved these things for hundreds of years, but now they are lost here. How can I face my ancestors in a hundred years!"
Bai Mian: "Calm down and tell me from the beginning how the things were lost."
The middle-aged woman calmed down and began to narrate what happened:
"My name is Chen Manqiu, the man next to me is my husband Sun Jun, and the group of people behind me are all our relatives. There are too many people, so I won't introduce them one by one."
"Everyone in my family is an intellectual, especially my father-in-law, Mr. Sun. He is over 70 years old and a retired university professor with a very high pension. The ancestors of the Sun family were once rich and left a large inheritance. In addition to money, there are also several jade carvings. The jade Guanyin that was lost today is one of them."
"My father-in-law is a suspicious person. He doesn't trust anyone but himself. Although he is over 70 years old, all the money in the family is in his hands. My husband and I have to ask him for money for our daily life. He treats the jade carving the same way. He doesn't trust us to keep it. He took a rope and strung the jade Guanyin into a necklace and hung it around his neck every day. He would not feel at ease until he wore it day and night."
"How could it get lost if it's being watched so strictly?" asked Lame Brother.
"Alas..." Chen Manqiu sighed, "It's a long story. It was originally a good thing, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
"My son Sun Qianyu is taking the college entrance examination this year. The results were just released a few days ago. My son did very well and his score exceeded the passing line by a large margin, enough to get into Beijing University. Isn't it a coincidence that my first choice for him is Beijing University? This way, we are sure to get in. We just need to wait for the admission letter!"
"After the child's results came out, our whole family was very happy, especially my father-in-law, who was grinning from ear to ear every day. We wanted to hold a graduation banquet to celebrate for the child and share the good news with relatives at home."
"We booked a private room at the hotel last night and invited over our relatives, a total of more than 20 people. The atmosphere at the table was very good, and the relatives also gave my son a gift for his further studies. After dinner, we should have left, but I saw that everyone was still having fun, so I suggested that the relatives come to my house and sit for a while."
At this point, Sun Jun pushed Chen Manqiu from behind and said, "It's all your fault. Why are you making such a suggestion? If you hadn't said anything, this wouldn't have happened, right?"
"How could I know this would happen later?"
Chen Manqiu looked aggrieved and continued, "After arriving at my house, I poured tea for the relatives and cut some fruit. During this time, I was busy in the kitchen while my husband entertained everyone on the sofa."
"My father-in-law has the habit of taking a bath after dinner every day. Today was no exception. After returning from the hotel, he took off the jade Guanyin from his neck and casually placed it on the coffee table. Then he went into the bathroom to take a bath. After he came out of the bath, he chatted with the relatives for about half an hour. Then the relatives got up to leave, and our family saw them off."
"Just after everyone left, when I was cleaning up the coffee table, I suddenly discovered that the jade Guanyin that was originally placed there was gone!"
Lame Brother made a face as if he was covering his heart, as if he was more heartbroken than the owner of the lost item.
"That's a family heirloom, worth six figures!" Sun Jun emphasized.
Chen Manqiu analyzed: "When the old man returned home from the hotel, the necklace was still around his neck. It disappeared after the guests left. This could not have been done by an outsider. It must have been a relative of the family. I don't know who was tempted by the money and took the jade Guanyin on the coffee table."
"So I called out all the relatives who were present that day. Master, please help me find out who stole the jade. I will confront him face to face!"
"Do you have anyone you suspect?" Bai Mian asked.
Chen Manqiu patted her head and said, "It would be nice if there was one! The problem is that I was in the kitchen the whole time and didn't pay attention to the outside. My husband is also blind and didn't notice who took it. He was only focused on listening to people's compliments. After all, his son was about to go to Beijing University and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do!"
Sun Jun rebuked her: "It's the same thing, no one should say anything about anyone else!"
Lame Brother thought of another person: "Where is your old man? Wasn't he chatting with relatives by the coffee table after taking a bath? Maybe he saw who took it away."
Chen Manqiu shook her head, looking bitter. "Don't mention it. The old man doesn't know about it yet. He's over 70 years old and has high blood pressure. How dare I tell him? Last night he wanted to wear his necklace, so I had to lie to him and told him that I had sent it for maintenance and would take it back tomorrow. Only then did he give up. I don't know how I'm going to report to him tonight!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. We have our little God of Wealth here. She will definitely figure out where the necklace is for you. You don't have to wait until tonight for the Jade Guanyin to return to your home!" Lame Brother comforted.
Chen Manqiu nodded listlessly: "I hope so. Find the necklace as soon as possible and return the Jade Guanyin to the old man, and this matter will be concealed."
"What are you hiding? I already know!" A majestic voice came from the door. Hearing this voice, Chen Manqiu and Sun Jun shuddered at the same time.
I saw an elderly man in his seventies walking in with a cane. His legs were trembling and he could only cross the threshold with the help of the woman next to him.
When Chen Manqiu saw the woman bringing the old man, she immediately flew into a rage and said, "Yuan Zi, how can you be a nanny? Didn't I tell you not to tell the old man about this and let him stay at home and take care of him peacefully!"
Grandpa Sun knocked on the floor with his cane: "Why are you scolding her? It's none of her business. I came here on my own accord! Do you think you can keep it a secret from me? My neighbor told me that this matter has been posted online. It's a hot topic. Who else doesn't know about it?!"
Chen Manqiu and Sun Jun both bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes: "I'm sorry, Dad, we were wrong, please don't be angry."
Old Master Sun shook his head and looked at everyone in the room with disdain:
"How can I not be angry when I see you like this? Let me start with my jade Guanyin. It is something passed down from my ancestors. I didn't keep it well. I am guilty and I am ashamed of my ancestors!"
"Look at the descendants of my Sun family. The Sun family is considered a family of scholars. Now they have produced such people who steal things. It really makes me feel disappointed!"
"And you, my son and daughter-in-law, you are also intellectuals, why do you only seek help from such quacks when you encounter problems! Where are the books you read? Don't you know to call the police?"
Chen Manqiu explained to her father-in-law in a low voice: "Dad, these relatives of our family are all well-known and have titles. If we really call the police and they find out who stole it, they will deal with it as theft. Even if the jade is found, the future of this relative will be ruined! We should give them a way out. We are all relatives. How can we be so cruel?"
Grandpa Sun nodded: "Okay, then let's handle it according to my daughter-in-law's wishes. Let's solve this matter privately. All the relatives are here today. I'll give you a chance. You can tell me who stole it. Now take it out. I won't say a word more. Let's just pretend that this never happened!"
The relatives looked at each other, no one responded, and everyone fell into an awkward silence.
Gao Jin also kindly helped to persuade: "Young people are bound to go astray, as long as you correct it in time."
But no matter what, the relatives of the Sun family remained indifferent, and no one was willing to admit that they had stolen the Jade Guanyin.
Seeing them like this, Chen Manqiu made up his mind: "Okay, since no one wants this opportunity, let's get serious!"
As she said that, she turned her head and supported Old Man Sun towards Bai Mian: "Dad, please sit here and take my pulse."
Old Master Sun sat down impatiently and handed his hand to Bai Mian: "Go ahead! Why do you suddenly want to take my pulse at this time? Do you want to cure my high blood pressure? I told you, my high blood pressure is an old problem and it can't be cured!"
"No," Chen Manqiu explained, "This master's fortune-telling method is like this. She needs to feel the pulse before telling the fortune. We asked her to feel the pulse, and she immediately knew where the Jade Guanyin was."
After hearing what Chen Manqiu said, Grandpa Sun quickly retracted his hand. He only heard from his neighbors that his family went to someone to tell their fortunes, and it was broadcast live on the Internet. However, he didn't know that the so-called fortune teller was the little girl in front of him.
Although the old man retracted his hand, Bai Mian had already calculated his fate. Seeing the old man's panicked look, Bai Mian revealed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
"How is it, where is the necklace?" Chen Manqiu asked nervously.
"No. 69, Muyuan Street." Bai Mian said the address.
Chen Manqiu quickly checked on her mobile phone and found that the address Bai Mian mentioned was a bank.
"Bank? Why is my necklace in a bank?"
Bai Mian raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you just make a phone call and ask?"
Chen Manqiu picked up the phone and called the bank with doubt. A very young voice answered the phone. Before the other party could finish the fixed opening remarks, Chen Manqiu said fiercely:
"Let me ask you, has anyone brought a jade Guanyin to the bank today?"
She described the appearance of Jade Guanyin, and the young voice on the other side said timidly:
"This is the client's privacy. We can't disclose it at will. How about I help you get our leader to come?"
"What's the point of calling me leader? Just tell me directly!" Chen Manqiu threatened, "This piece of jade belongs to our family. Now it has been stolen. We are tracking down the thief. If you know any clues and don't tell me, I will file a complaint against you immediately. Not only that, I will also find a lawyer to sue you! I have memorized your work number!"
"Please, I'm just an intern, and this internship is very important to me..." The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a while and whispered, "I'll tell you, don't bother me. This morning, someone came to our bank and deposited a piece of jade like this in the bank's safe."
"Humph!" Chen Manqiu snorted coldly, "Whose safe is this?"
"This..." The intern hesitated for a while before saying, "The owner of the safe is Yuan Zi."
Chen Manqiu's eyes instantly turned to the nanny beside Mr. Sun. Sun Jun asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chen Manqiu ignored him, glared at Yuan Zi, hung up the phone and was about to call the police.
"It's true that even if you guard against thieves day and night, you can never guard against thieves in your own home! It turned out to be you. I never knew that you usually look quite well behaved, yet you dared to reach out to our things? That piece of jade is worth six figures. Do you know how many years you will have to spend in prison?"
Yuan Zi stopped Chen Manqiu from calling the police and defended herself, "Sister Chen, you are really wronging me. Think about it, the jade in your house was lost yesterday. I was on vacation yesterday. I was not at your house at all. How could I steal the jade? Could I take things from a distance?"
Chen Manqiu was stunned: "Really? You were on vacation yesterday, so this——"
She looked at Bai Mian: "Master, what's going on?"
Bai Mian smiled and said, "How did the Jade Guanyin get from the coffee table to Yuan Zi's safe? I'm afraid you know best, Mr. Sun?"
Everyone looked at Grandpa Sun and exclaimed that they had not expected it. The old man turned his head away and his wrinkled face turned red.
Chen Manqiu and Sun Jun looked at each other, and Chen Manqiu stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what's going on between you and her? Could it be... you... she... the two of you... but you are over seventy, and she is only in her twenties!"
Old Master Sun covered his face with his hands, refusing to look anyone in the eye. He just kept saying stubbornly, “You are slandering me. I don’t know what you are talking about!”
Bai Mian’s live broadcast room was filled with comments like “hahahahaha”.
[Oh no, the answer is revealed, it’s actually the thief crying “Catch the thief!” 】
[This old pervert, who is already half in the coffin, is still having sex with the young nanny. It's really outrageous! 】
[This incident fully demonstrates that men are only honest when they are hung on the wall]
[How embarrassing! If I were this old man, I would really want to live on another planet.]
Sun Jun stepped forward and wanted to say something, but he couldn't continue.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Dad, but you're really... Oh, you're really disrespectful to your elders!"
The relatives gathered around and criticized the old man one by one. The old man couldn't hold his face anymore, so he shouted angrily:
"That's enough. Do you still have elders in your eyes? I usually teach you a lesson, but today it's your turn to teach me a lesson? Even if Ah Zi and I are really in love, what's wrong with that? You all say I'm seventy years old, but I'm just old, not dead. My heart still beats! I also need love and someone to love me. Who of you has ever thought about me?"
Chen Manqiu immediately asked back, "Dad, you are being dishonest when you say that. Haven't we arranged blind dates for you? Ever since my mother-in-law passed away, we have introduced you to one old lady after another, but you always said you looked down on them. When we asked you why, you just shook your head. We thought you liked being single, but it turns out you've been hooking up with the nanny for a long time. No wonder you looked down on those old ladies!"
Old Man Sun glared at Chen Manqiu and said, "What do you mean by hooking up? You put it so harshly. Watch your choice of words. What we have is called love!"
Sun Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You love her, so you gave her our family heirloom?"
Old man Sun blew his beard and glared again: "What's the big deal? This is my own thing. I can give it to whoever I want. Only Ah Zi is really kind to me. You are all a bunch of ungrateful people who want my things! Even if I give my house to Ah Zi in the future, you can't do anything about it!"
"Dad, you are just saying this in anger," Chen Manqiu asked, "Since you want to give her the Jade Guanyin, why don't you just take it out and give it to her openly? Why did you do this? I thought there was a thief in the house, so you called all the relatives to come and make a fool of yourself!"
Old Man Sun complained angrily: "If I really give it to her generously, will you agree? You must cry, make a scene, and even hang yourself in front of me! I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure just to prevent you from causing trouble!"
Sun Jun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, yes, your plan is brilliant and you fooled us all, but how did you do it? Last night, my wife and I found that the necklace was missing. We searched almost the entire house, but we couldn't find the jade Guanyin. Where did you hide it?"
The old man started to act childishly. He pouted his lips smugly and said nothing, refusing to tell his son.
Bai Mian couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he helped Sun Jun answer the question: "In fact, the Jade Guanyin was at your house the whole time yesterday, in a place you wouldn't expect."
"Yesterday, after the old man took a shower, he came out and pretended to chat with his relatives. In fact, he took a tissue and covered the Jade Guanyin on the coffee table when no one was paying attention. Then after a while, he lied that he was going to the bathroom, picked up the tissue and went into the bathroom. The Jade Guanyin was sandwiched between the tissue and he brought it into the bathroom without anyone noticing."
"After entering the bathroom, he hid the Jade Guanyin in the toilet tank. Most people would not check this location. Sure enough, you searched for it all night and couldn't find it. The next day, when Yuan Zi came to work, he secretly took the Jade Guanyin out of the tank and gave it to Yuan Zi, who then put it in her safe deposit box at the bank."
Sun Jun slapped his thigh and said, "Really? Who would have thought that there could be something hidden in the toilet tank?"
Chen Manqiu patted his chest and said, "Forget it, as long as the things are not lost, it's a good thing that I didn't call the police yesterday, otherwise our family would be embarrassed."
"He is betting that you dare not call the police," Bai Mian said. "You and your relatives are all people who care about your reputation. You definitely don't want to make a big deal when encountering such a thing. He is betting that you will only look for it privately. If you can't find it, just forget it. In this way, everyone in your family will think that the whereabouts of the jade Guanyin is unknown. No one can imagine that the old man actually took it and gave it to his girlfriend."
Chen Manqiu was terrified: "Yes, if we really can't find it, we can only let it go. It's terrible to give away a six-figure fortune for nothing. Master, it's a good thing we found you, otherwise it would be unimaginable. Master, I want to thank you!"
As she spoke, she scanned the QR code in the store and said, "Master, I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you. It's not a lot, but it's just a token of my appreciation."
"No need," Bai Mian stopped him immediately, "I only charge ten yuan, no more."
Chen Manqiu failed to transfer the money, and praised Bai Mian again: "Master, you are really kind-hearted. I will definitely help you promote it when I go back!"
Bai Mian smiled modestly and said nothing more.
The matter was resolved, and it was time to discuss the next countermeasures. Chen Manqiu said to Yuan Zi directly: "Give the Jade Guanyin back. I won't call the police. I will also forgive you for hooking up with our old man. I will pay you this month's salary immediately. After receiving the salary, you can pack up and leave. Our family can't tolerate you anymore!"
Yuan Zi didn't say anything, but showed a subtle smile and looked at Grandpa Sun, obviously waiting for her "backer" to give her justice.
Old Master Sun stood up with the help of a cane and shouted at Chen Manqiu in anger, "I'm not dead yet! With me here, I don't think anyone dares to let Ah Zi go! The Jade Guanyin belongs to our Sun family. Everything you enjoy now is the family business I earned when I was young. It's not the turn of an outsider to point fingers at how our Sun family spends money and on whom to spend it!"
After hearing this, Chen Manqiu blinked in disbelief, then covered her face and burst into tears: "Wow, Dad, I have been filial to you for decades, and you actually said that I am an outsider. Husband, are you deaf! Your dad called me an outsider, don't you care?"
Sun Jun was caught between his wife and his father. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and didn't know who to help. Finally, he had no other choice but to look to Bai Mian for help.
The old man waved his hand, signaling no one to get close: "No matter what you say, my heart will not waver. Ah Zi and I are truly in love! For Ah Zi's sake today, I will take advantage of my age and seniority. If anyone dares to come up and persuade me, I will beat him with my cane!"
Lame Brother gave Bai Mian a look, signaling him to stay away:
"Oh my god, you are so old and in poor health, please don't collapse in our store and blackmail us!"
Bai Mian not only did not retreat, but bravely took a few steps forward. When Grandpa Sun saw her approaching, he immediately waved his cane at her: "Get out of the way, back off!"
Bai Mian smiled faintly: "Old man, you are right, I know you truly love her."
After Bai Mian said this, Mr. Sun changed his opinion of Bai Mian. He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Can you understand me?"
"Of course," Bai Mian nodded. "Since Yuan Zi came to you, she has been reading to you every day. You are old and your eyesight is not very good. You haven't read books for a long time. Her reading reminds you of your school days when you were young, and it also evokes your long-lost heartbeat."
"I believe you are not just attracted by her beauty like they say, you really love Yuan Zi."
Bai Mian's words brought tears to the old man's eyes. He put down his cane and held Bai Mian's hand tightly: "Thank you, child, you are my confidant!"
Bai Mian changed the subject: "But, do you know that the woman you truly love wants you to die all the time."
"Ah?" The old man denied it desperately when he heard it, "You're talking nonsense, she wouldn't do that!"
Bai Mian took a few more steps forward, walked in front of Yuan Zi, looked directly into her eyes, and told her her resume:
"Yuan Zi, female, 26 years old. You have been working as a nanny since you graduated from high school. In your eight-year career, you have changed employers three times."
"Every time you changed your agency, you chose single older men as your clients, and you dated each of your clients."
"The first one is Zhu Qizheng, a famous painter in Beihai City. He was paralyzed in his later years and had difficulty moving. You took care of him all year round. He developed feelings for you and gave you a famous painting worth seven figures as a gift. After you received the painting, Zhu Qizheng died soon after, and you left Beihai City."
"The second one is Gu Qi, a famous antique dealer in Beijing. You once again played to his fancy and used the same trick to get a set of ancient porcelain from him. After you got the porcelain, Gu Qi died soon after, and then you left Beijing."
"The third one is Mr. Sun today. If we hadn't discovered you after you got the Jade Guanyin, I'm afraid Mr. Sun would have unfortunately passed away, right?"
Old Master Sun lost his momentum. He turned around and asked Yuan Zi with some fear: "What she said...can't it be true?"
Yuan Zi smiled charmingly: "What she said was too scary. Those people died because they didn't take good care of their bodies. How can you blame me? Don't compare yourself with them. You are strong and healthy, and you can live for many years!"
Chen Manqiu also felt a chill down her spine. She asked in confusion, "Don't the first two celebrities you mentioned have children or other family members? Why didn't the children call the police to arrest her? It's obvious that she did it!"
"No, of course they had children, but their children were very secretive about their deaths," Bai Mian raised the corners of his lips, "This is because the way they died was quite special."
Chen Manqiu asked: "How did he die?"
Bai Mian looked at Yuan Zi: "These people were all killed by her using the same drug."
"Impossible!" Chen Manqiu waved her hands. "My old man is in poor health and has high blood pressure, so I pay special attention to his meals and medications. I keep an eye on everything he puts in his mouth. There is absolutely no way any unknown drugs could get in there!"
“But there is one situation that you can’t just stare at,” Bai Mian reminded.
"Which situation?" Chen Manqiu still didn't understand.
Bai Mian looked at her phone. After all, there was a live broadcast going on here. She was worried that saying this word would cause the live broadcast room to be blocked, so she changed her words:
"It's not convenient for me to tell you. How about this? I'll tell you where the medicine is and you can find it yourself. The medicine is in the third compartment of the row under the wardrobe."
Chen Manqiu looked around and saw that everyone in the family had come out. The only one left at home should be her son who had just finished the college entrance examination. So she picked up her cell phone and called her son.
"Hey, Mom, where have you been? Why is everyone away so early in the morning?" the son asked sleepily.
Chen Manqiu said anxiously, "I'll explain it to you when we get back. Son, get up and help me find a box of medicine. It's in the third compartment of the row under the closet. Tell me when you find it."
Sun Qianyu yawned and stood up, opened the closet, and after seeing the name of the medicine, he suddenly woke up: "Mom... why do you want this medicine?"
Chen Manqiu said casually: "Don't worry about it. Mom and your dad are out. We need it urgently. Tell me, what is the name of the medicine?"
Sun Qianyu said shyly: "This is... Viagra, Mom... Why do you need this... Could it be that my dad..."
Chen Manqiu's face turned red. She didn't know how to explain to her son, so she hung up the phone.
Sun Jun came up to him curiously and asked, "What medicine is Dad taking?"
Chen Manqiu whispered the name of the medicine in his ear, and Sun Jun was also stunned.
After a round of whispers, everyone knew what medicine Grandpa Sun took, and everyone looked at Grandpa Sun.
Old Man Sun stood in the middle of the crowd, his old face flushed with shame, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Sun Jun rushed forward, pointed at Grandpa Sun and said, "Dad, you are so reckless. How could you have sex with her?"
Chen Manqiu also stepped forward to help: "Yes, Dad, you are so old and in poor health. It's hard for you to walk, and you still risk your life to take medicine! Do you know that this kind of medicine will stimulate the heart and blood? If you are not careful, you will die in bed!"
"So, now you should understand why the families of the deceased were unwilling to call the police or pursue the matter. They just wanted to cremate the bodies as soon as possible and put the matter to rest, so as to avoid scandals that would damage the reputation of the entire family." Bai Mian said, crossing his arms.
Chen Manqiu shook his head and looked at the old man: "Dad, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are also an educated person. You should know which medicines you can take and which you can't take. How could you make such a mistake?"
"No matter what age, men always like to show off in front of the women they love," Bai Mian tilted his head in the direction of Yuan Zi, "After they fell in love, they naturally had intimate behaviors. The old man is old and inevitably unable to do so. At this time, Yuan Zi recommended this medicine to him. The old man thought she was helping him and took it with great pleasure."
After listening to Bai Mian's analysis, Mr. Sun also began to doubt his "true love". He unconsciously moved away from Yuan Zi and stopped speaking for her.
The old man's attitude changed, and Chen Manqiu instantly gained confidence. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "The families of the previous victims didn't pursue the matter, but our family will. This is not just an ordinary seduction. She is simply a serial killer roaming around! I can't let her get away again. Second sister, third sister, help me hold her down. Sister-in-law, help me call the police. I must pursue this to the end today!"
"Not only do I want her to return the Jade Guanyin, I also want her to compensate my family for the mental damages and the medical expenses for my old man. I will never let her go!"
Several strong women rushed out from the crowd and held the man down as instructed by Chen Manqiu. Looking at Yuan Zi's embarrassed appearance, Old Man Sun just closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch it anymore, but did not stop him.
After controlling Yuan Zi, Chen Manqiu turned around again, walked step by step to Old Man Sun, and said solemnly:
"Dad, you were impulsive this time and got cheated. Not only did our family lose property, but you almost lost your life. Of course, I'm not blaming you. Everyone makes mistakes. Besides, we discovered it in time and the necklace can be recovered. But there is one thing you have to admit—"
"You're getting old, and you're really starting to get confused."
Chen Manqiu's eyes were burning as he continued, "You are no longer suitable to manage the family's money. What if another young nanny comes next time? Can you handle it? I'm afraid that if you are tempted, you will hand over all the family's property."
"So, from now on, let me manage the family property." After layers of preparation, Chen Manqiu finally said this.
Old Master Sun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the eyes of the relatives around him were condemning him. At this moment, Old Master Sun was no longer the same as when he first came in. In the eyes of everyone, he was just a confused old pervert.
The old man bent down and was forced to relax: "...Okay."
"Thank you, Dad. You are wise!" Chen Manqiu bowed jokingly, and then immediately asked, "Then count our family's assets when you get home and make a list for me. Transfer all that can be transferred to my name. For those that cannot be transferred, such as time deposits, tell me the passwords."
Old Master Sun nodded, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
After the old man nodded, Chen Manqiu opened his arms to invite all the relatives: "Dear relatives! I am sorry to bother you all today. I made you make a wasted trip. It turned out to be a misunderstanding on our part. I am sorry. Fortunately, everyone is happy with the ending. How about this, since everyone is here, I will treat you all to lunch. I will be the host. It will be my apology to you all!"
"Who dares to go? I'm afraid something will be lost from your house after dinner!" said a relative with a smile.
