Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 353 - 186: Brother Chen, You Are Mr. Jinghu!

Zhang Quan responded with a mournful face, "I don’t know!"

Liu Chuanxiong also questioned his son, "Explain to me what happened?"

Liu Zhenping quickly said, "I don’t know either! I just brought the painting here, how would I know it was fake?"

"Ah! You’re going to be the death of me!" Liu Chuanxiong said through gritted teeth, giving his son a slap.

Zhang Tiancang saw this and also gave Zhang Quan a slap, cursing, "What are you even capable of! How did I end up with a piece of work like you!"

Zhang Quan and Liu Zhenping held their cheeks, feeling so wronged.

Lin Zhengtian snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Tiancang, Liu Chuanxiong, you two really have some nerve! Bringing two fake paintings to blackmail my granddaughter, how dare you?"

Zhang Tiancang said, "Elder Lin, listen to my explanation, it’s really not..."

Lin Zhengtian: "No need to explain! With so many peers here today, I, Lin Zhengtian, officially announce the severance of all relations with Zhang Tiancang and Liu Chuanxiong and their two families! From now on, where they are, I will not be, and where I am, they cannot be. I hope all peers here remember my words and avoid unnecessary issues! Gentlemen, take your time leaving!"

Just then, the butler Ah Fu ran over and said, "Grandfather, Miss Xue Yinong from the Xue Family and President Liu from Xiuling Art Collection Company are here, saying they want to see you."

Lin Zhengtian: "Quickly invite them in!"

Not long after, Xue Yinong stormed in angrily, heading straight for those few paintings.

"What’s going on? Experts, is this intact real artwork an authentic piece?" Xue Yinong asked.

"Yes! It’s an authentic piece by Mr. Jinghu!"

"We can guarantee it; it’s definitely an authentic piece by Mr. Jinghu!"

...

Xue Yinong turned to glare at Liu Xiuling and asked, "What happened? Didn’t we agree that you would temporarily keep it? Why was it taken out? You didn’t even notice when it got switched; is this how you do things? Give me a satisfactory solution now, or we’ll see what happens!"

Liu Xiuling questioned, "Son, what on earth happened? How did the painting get switched?"

Zhang Quan cried and said, "I really don’t know what happened."

Xue Yinong turned to ask Lin Shuying, "Miss Lin, can you tell me why Qiu Tian gave you these two paintings? Where did he get them from?"

Lin Shuying said, "He wanted to pursue me, and he knew I was a teacher at the Art Academy, so he gave me these two paintings."

Xue Yinong took out her phone and called Qiu Tian, pressing the speaker button.

Qiu Tian: "Hello, Miss Xue, what’s up?"

Xue Yinong: "Young Master Qiu, I wanted to ask where the two paintings you gave Miss Lin Shuying came from?"

Qiu Tian: "I bought them! While hanging around at the Treasure Tower, someone came to me furtively asking if I wanted to buy paintings by Mr. Jinghu. I don’t really understand art, but I thought they looked really nice, so I bought them for 500,000. Miss Lin happens to like paintings, so I gave them to her. What’s up, is there a problem?"

Xue Yinong: "Those two paintings belong to me and the Liu Family, and indeed, they are authentic pieces by Mr. Jinghu. I don’t know how they got switched. Can Young Master Qiu find that person?"

Qiu Tian: "Huh? Such a thing happened? I really don’t know who he is; I already told you he was being secretive, so how could I find him? Even if they were switched, it’s your own problem, nothing to do with me. I spent 500,000 buying the paintings, how was I supposed to know he switched your paintings. Miss Xue, don’t come after me, and don’t go harassing Miss Lin. You guys didn’t keep your things safe, you should take responsibility yourself, don’t think of making others share the blame. I’ll speak frankly, if you disrupt my pursuit of Miss Lin, I won’t be nice to you. Also, let the Liu Family know, if they dare harass Miss Lin, I definitely won’t let them off! Neither Miss Lin nor I are at fault, the fault lies with your poor safeguarding, don’t make us take the blame!"

After that, Qiu Tian hung up.

Furiously, Xue Yinong slapped the table, shouting at Liu Xiuling, "Look what you’ve done! Now tell me, how will we solve this!"

Liu Xiuling, flustered, quickly said, "Miss Xue, don’t be angry, we’ll definitely get to the bottom of this and give you a satisfactory solution. Miss Lin, could you return the authentic pieces to us?"

Lin Shuying: "What are you kidding me? Qiu Tian gave me the paintings, why should I return them to you? You want them, go find Qiu Tian, let him get them back from me for you. What’s the reason for asking me?"

Liu Chuanxiong: "Then how about we buy them for a million? Miss Lin, please help. Elder Lin?"

Lin Zhengtian: "Hmph! The paintings belong to Shuying, she can decide for herself."

Lin Shuying quickly motioned for her sister to help pack the paintings and said, "Let me make it clear, I’m not selling these two paintings, nor giving them away; I’m keeping them for my own appreciation. If you want them back, find Qiu Tian, let him come ask me for them. Do you understand? Brother Chen, let’s go."

Yang Chen got up, stretched lazily, and said, "I’m tired of the drama, and I’m really hungry. I need to get something to eat."

Lin Shuying giggled, "Hehe... we’ll treat you to dinner. Let’s go!"

With that, the two sisters each took an arm of Yang Chen, clutching the painting tubes, and left together.

Liu Xiuling and Liu Chuanxiong quickly discussed and then headed to the Shield Security Group to find Qiu Yuhong and Qiu Tian...
