Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 350 - 186: Brother Chen, You Are Mr. Jinghu

Yang Chen calmly said, "You say I knocked Zhang Quan over, but there has to be some evidence, right? I’m sitting here drinking tea, how did I send him flying three meters away? Come on, demonstrate it for me. If you can do it, I’ll admit it."

Liu Zhenping and others were speechless.

Zhang Quan, with a tearful face, said, "It really was him who knocked me. I can swear to the heavens."

Lin Shuying: "Zhang Quan, you’re too much! You frame him and that’s bad enough, but why involve me, my sister, and Grandpa Zhao too?"

Lin Anxiang: "If swearing was any use, why would we need the law and the police? I really didn’t expect you to be so despicable, using this method to frame Yang Chen. You and Liu Zhenping had someone attack him, and he has already let it go. Now you’re getting worse and worse! Grandpa, from now on, you shouldn’t associate with the Zhang and Liu families anymore; they’re not worthy of associating with our Lin Family!"

Zhang Tiancang and Liu Chuanxiong immediately became unhappy.

Zhang Tiancang: "Lin Family girl, what do you mean by this? You’re blaming us for the sake of a rideshare driver?"

Liu Chuanxiong: "Lin Family girl, don’t think just because your grandfather is here, you can be so arrogant. Whether our two families continue to associate, we’ll discuss it later. But you two sisters tearing our paintings, that’s something we need to address first. Elder Lin, you are respected and esteemed; please give us your opinion on this matter."

Lin Anxiang: "Wasn’t that because Zhang Quan intentionally hit Grandpa Zhao, who then bumped into us, causing us to grab the painting? Are you actually trying to extort us?"

Lin Shuying: "Are you above the law now? In broad daylight, and you’re brazenly trying to extort us?"

Liu Chuanxiong: "What extortion? It was you who tore my painting. I don’t care why you did it; the fact is you tore it, and you have to be responsible!"

Lin Shuying ran over to her grandfather, acting spoiled, and said, "Grandpa, see? They’re really trying to extort us too."

Lin Zhengtian, with a stern face, gestured for his granddaughter to calm down.

Then he said, "Young people, leave us old folks to discuss this amongst ourselves."

Yang Chen was the first to get up and walk out.

Zhang Quan quickly chased after him, grabbing Yang Chen’s arm, and said, "You can’t leave! Don’t think you can get away with this; I won’t let you off!"

Yang Chen shook off Zhang Quan, saying, "Don’t worry, I’m not leaving. Why would I leave? You’re trying to frame us this way, I won’t leave until everything is cleared up."

Lin Shuying and the others also came out.

The sisters angrily confronted Zhang Quan, completely falling out with him.

Zhao Rulong and others hurriedly pulled Zhang Quan aside to talk, asking him what was really going on.

Zhang Quan insisted that Yang Chen knocked him over, which caused him to hit Zhao Jingzhong, who then hit the Lin Family Sisters, causing them to tear the paintings.

However, just saying this isn’t enough; Yang Chen was so far from him, how could he possibly hit him?

Evidence, there needs to be evidence!

Without evidence, even if the police are called, they wouldn’t believe that Yang Chen could knock him over from three meters away.

Zhang Quan explained, "He knocked me over and then quickly ran over to sit down. He wasn’t that far from me initially."

Saying this makes even less sense; when he hit Zhao Jingzhong, everyone already saw that Yang Chen was sitting in a chair. In a fraction of a second, could Yang Chen fly three meters to the chair and sit securely?

Zhang Quan: "But he did sit down, what can I do? His reaction and speed are too fast, simply not like a normal person."

Everyone shook their heads; such a ridiculous excuse wouldn’t even be believed by the police.

But Zhang Quan wasn’t entirely wrong; Yang Chen did achieve this with peak human reaction speed.

The Lin Family Sisters complained in front of Yang Chen.

However, this was only the first step in Yang Chen’s plan.

There was a second step to go.

Yang Chen quietly asked, "Stop complaining, you two. The situation is serious, do you know that?"

Lin Shuying: "We know. The paintings, worth over ten million, were damaged by us, and we definitely have to pay for them. It’s just a matter of how much."

Lin Anxiang: "This is infuriating, being schemed against for no reason."

Yang Chen: "The truth is more serious than that. I just observed those four paintings and found that ’Mountain Stream Washing Silk’ and ’Fishing Alone in a Cold River’ are obviously imitations. I just didn’t want trouble, so I didn’t say anything. Now I understand, Zhang Quan and Liu Zhenping deliberately brought imitations to extort us, they just made a mistake and dragged you in as well."

Lin Shuying: "What? No way? Are you serious?"

Yang Chen: "At least based on my knowledge, I think those two paintings are imitations."

Lin Anxiang: "How outrageous, this is too much! I’m going to tell Grandpa."

Yang Chen quickly stopped her, saying, "Telling Elder Lin that those two paintings are fake won’t help now. Liu Chuanxiong and Zhang Tiancang will just think you’re trying to avoid responsibility by claiming they’re fake."

Lin Shuying: "Can’t Grandpa and the others carefully appraise them?"

Yang Chen: "Zhao Jingzhong told me that the authenticity of the paintings is determined by these experts. If the experts say it’s real, it’s real; if they say it’s fake, it’s fake, even the original artist couldn’t prove otherwise. Did Miss Shuying forget?"

Lin Shuying nodded and said, "Right! Grandpa Zhao did say that."

Yang Chen: "So, does claiming they’re fake help?"

Lin Anxiang: "Then what should we do?"

Yang Chen: "Miss Lin Shuying, could you take me to your room to rest for a while?"
