After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1647 Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant
The atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy. After a slight hesitation, Chen Feng patiently explained, "I just noticed that there were two bags of identical soy milk in his breakfast, and one of them was almost half drunk. I guess sleeping pills were most likely mixed into this bag of soy milk. He definitely didn't drug you for himself, but intended for you to take. As a result, you accidentally drank the bag of soy milk with problems."
After listening to Chen Feng's analysis, Zhao Zixuan's eyes widened, her face full of shock. She really couldn't believe that such a thing would happen. How naive must this be!
Old Mrs. Liu was stunned at first, then she sighed softly and shook her head slowly, her eyes full of disappointment and helplessness. Anyone who encounters such a thing would not feel good.
Obviously, both of them felt that Chen Feng's guess was very reasonable, especially Old Lady Liu, whose heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Both of them almost agreed with Chen Feng's guess, and Old Lady Liu felt particularly deeply.
"This... this is too much, right? Chen Feng, you think too badly of him. Grandma Liu is his own grandmother, he can't be so... so cruel, right? Also, why did he give Grandma Liu sleeping pills? Was it because..."
Although Zhao Zixuan believed Chen Feng's speculation, it was still difficult for her to accept such a cruel fact. After all, if it was true, then Grandma Liu's grandson was really unfilial.
Zhao Zixuan was concerned about Grandma Liu's face and was also worried that she would be too sad, so she spoke with reservations.
Chen Feng did not have too many concerns. Following Zhao Zixuan's words, he said directly: "He should want to use sleeping pills to make Grandma Liu fall asleep, and then carefully search the room for the family heirloom jade pendant."
Zhao Zixuan naturally thought of this possibility. After hearing what Chen Feng said, he could only look at Old Lady Liu with sympathy, his eyes full of pity.
"Alas, it's a misfortune for our family." Old Lady Liu finally spoke, her face full of bitterness, "It should be just as Xiao Chen said. In fact, this jade pendant should have been passed on to him, but he is still lazy and ambitious. If I give it to him, he will definitely sell it for money, and the money will soon be squandered by him. What else can I do?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said, "Grandma Liu, don't you think the series of events yesterday and today are too coincidental? Mr. Yan, who you haven't seen for decades, specially found you and brought your lost sister from Shandong Province to live in the Magic City. Then, your grandson suddenly came to ask about the whereabouts of the family jade pendant and even wanted to give you sleeping pills. Don't you think all this is too strange?"
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Zhao Zixuan and Old Lady Liu fell silent, each pondering the connection in their hearts.
After a long while, Zhao Zixuan finally spoke up: "What you said does make some sense, but why did Mr. Yan do this? Just for this jade pendant? Grandma Liu also said that this jade pendant is not particularly valuable, at most it is only a few hundred thousand. If Mr. Yan wants it, he can just pay a high price for it. There is no need to use these tricks, right?"
Old Lady Liu then said: "Half a month ago, a stranger suddenly called me and said he wanted to buy my jade pendant. He raised the price all the way to 50, but I refused to sell it. I also told him that this was an heirloom and I wanted to leave it to future generations and would not sell it."
Zhao Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's possible. The stranger might have been sent by Old Man Yan. Seeing that you were unwilling to sell it, he set his sights on your grandson and wanted to buy the jade pendant from him. But is this jade pendant really worth his effort?"
Old Lady Liu shook her head and said helplessly: "I don't know about that."
After a pause, she sighed and continued, "It seems that my jade pendant cannot be kept. Yan Guangyuan is rich and powerful. Since he has already plotted against my grandson, he will plot against me, an old lady in my twilight years. I am afraid I can't escape."
Seeing the pitiful and helpless appearance of Old Lady Liu, Zhao Zixuan was filled with righteous indignation and shouted, "This old man Yan is so abominable! Even if you don't sell it to him, what can he do to you? Does he dare to rob you?"
Chen Feng asked, "Grandma Liu, are you really not going to sell this jade pendant?"
Old Lady Liu sighed and said, "My grandson is trying every possible way to get it and sell it, but what can I do? Yan Guangyuan is rich and powerful. If he plots against me and my grandson, how can I hide?"
Chen Feng said, "Then you can sell it, but you must sell it at a good price, and you must not let your grandson take the money. You must keep it for yourself, or spend it early. For example, buy a small shop and collect rent. In this way, even after you die, your grandson will have a guaranteed living."
Zhao Zixuan disagreed and said, "Wouldn't that just fulfill Old Man Yan's wish? He was so sinister and secretly plotting, he shouldn't be allowed to succeed."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her and said, "He is rich and powerful, and it seems that he has bribed Grandma Liu's grandson. Even if Grandma Liu doesn't sell it, her grandson will force her to sell it every day."
Zhao Zixuan said angrily: "This old man Yan is so hateful!"
Chen Feng continued, "Since he wants this jade pendant so much and has spent so much time on it, I think it shouldn't be a problem to sell it for a high price. Grandma Liu, how much do you want to sell it for?"
Old Lady Liu shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I really don't want to sell it. Before my husband died, he specifically told me not to sell this jade pendant and to leave it to future generations."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "You only have this one grandson now, so you're going to pass it on to him in the end, right? But do you think he'll treasure it after you pass it on to him, or just sell it?"
After hearing this, Old Lady Liu just sighed and said nothing.
"I think it's better if we confront Old Man Yan directly. Since he values this jade pendant so much and has plenty of money, we can start by asking for 300 million. Maybe he'll agree."
"300 million?" Old Mrs. Liu looked at Chen Feng in surprise, her eyes full of astonishment.
Obviously, this price was far beyond her expectations. Although this jade pendant was an heirloom, she had asked someone to appraise it before, and the highest price offered was only 30. Even if that was the price a few years ago, there was no reason for it to increase tenfold now.
If it could really be sold for 300 million, Old Lady Liu would undoubtedly be tempted. This price was far beyond her imagination. Besides, even if she didn't sell it, her grandson would find ways to exchange it for money.
As soon as Chen Feng saw the old lady's expression, he knew that she was very interested in the price, so he said, "We can test him first. Just say that you already know that he bribed your grandson. If you really want the jade pendant, bring 300 million. Of course, it is possible that we can't reach an agreement, so we have to bargain with him. What is the lowest price you can accept?"
Old Lady Liu closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I really don't want to sell it, but my grandson is like this, and I can't keep it even if I don't want to. If Yan Guangyuan is really plotting against me and my grandson, I have no choice but to sell it. As for the price, the higher the better, so that my grandson and I can have a guarantee for our future lives."
Zhao Zixuan suddenly said, "Chen Feng, why don't you buy this jade pendant? Yan Guangyuan is so eager to get it, it must be a good thing."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng looked at his "girlfriend" helplessly, wondering if this counted as a stab in the back.
Although he was not short of money and knew that this jade pendant might be special, he took the initiative to offer a high price of three million just now, which was obviously too high. After all, the highest price in the market before was only three hundred thousand.
Zhao Zixuan said this just after he made an offer, which really made him feel like he was being cheated by her.
The old lady immediately said, "If you want to buy it, Xiao Chen, I will sell it to you for 30."
If Chen Feng hadn't known that Zhao Zixuan wouldn't deliberately cheat him, he would have suspected that she and the old lady had colluded to set up a trap. "No," Chen Feng refused immediately. "Since your jade pendant is so valued by Old Man Yan, it must be worth more than this. So, if you really want to sell it to me, we can go to the bank to take out the jade pendant, and then find an expert to appraise its true value. I will give you the amount at that time."
Since he was already involved in the matter of Old Lady Liu, Chen Feng was not opposed to buying the jade pendant. As long as the transaction was carried out at the market price, neither party would suffer a loss.
Zhao Zixuan immediately said, "That's a good idea. This way neither of you will suffer any loss. Grandma Liu, what do you think?"
After a little hesitation, Old Lady Liu nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it. Anyway, I don't want to sell it to Yan Guangyuan. When I was young, I had a vague feeling that he had bad intentions. This time when I met him, this feeling became even stronger. So, no matter how he and Dongxia persuaded me, I didn't want to move to his nursing home."
"Well, when the time is right, we'll go to the bank to withdraw the items and then find an expert to identify them. Grandma Liu, you can find an expert in this field yourself."
Old Lady Liu shook her head and said, "Where can I find an expert? I went to jewelry stores and shops in antique markets to ask before, but in the end the jewelry store in the mall offered the highest price of 30. That was a few years ago. If you think it's too low, you can add a few tens of thousands more."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "That won't do. This jade pendant of yours is something that Old Man Yan is interested in, and a stranger offered 50 yuan for it before. Its true value must be much higher than that. We should find a professional expert to re-evaluate it. Zixuan, can you help me find it? I'm not very familiar with Modu."
Zhao Zixuan nodded and agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll contact them. I have an uncle who is an antique collector. He should know an expert in this field."
After that, Zhao Zixuan walked aside to make a phone call. After a few minutes, he came back and said to the two of them, "It's done. My uncle knows an expert in this field, and he helped me invite two of them. When we get the jade pendant, we will go to him to let the expert identify it. Grandma Liu, do you think this is okay?"
Old Lady Liu nodded directly: "Okay, let's do whatever you say."
So the three of them chatted in the room for a while, and when the time was almost up, they left Mao Ziwei who was still sleeping soundly and took a car to the bank in the city.
More than half an hour later, the car arrived at the bank where the jade pendant was stored. With her ID card, contract and safe key, accompanied by Zhao Zixuan, Mrs. Liu successfully took out the family heirloom jade pendant.
Back in the car, Old Lady Liu took the initiative to hand the wooden box containing the jade pendant to Chen Feng and said, "Xiao Chen, take a look first."
Chen Feng did not refuse and took the wooden box.
When the box was opened, an irregular rectangular jade pendant with dragon patterns carved on it was seen on the velvet cloth inside. It was a thin piece of jade.
The moment Chen Feng saw the jade pendant, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
The moment he opened the wooden box, he clearly sensed a huge amount of energy contained in the jade pendant. This energy was completely different from the other energies he had absorbed before, and had a completely new "aura".
Chen Feng's heart suddenly palpitated, and he felt an urge to absorb the energy immediately.
With great difficulty, he suppressed the impulse with his strong willpower.
He took a deep breath, reached out to pick up the jade pendant, and looked at it carefully.
This jade pendant is about ten centimeters long, almost three centimeters at its widest point, and less than one centimeter thick, making it very thin and light.
If the special energy and other factors contained in it are not taken into consideration, Chen Feng, as a layman, also thinks that this jade pendant is worth at most a few hundred thousand.
But for Chen Feng, the value of this jade pendant is immeasurable, because the special energy contained in it is brand new.
Chen Feng's intuition told him that after absorbing this energy, he might be able to gain new special abilities.
Just like absorbing the special energy from the oracle bones before, it gave him the ability to foresee the future.
Absorbing the energy from calligraphy, painting and photography not only enhanced his physical fitness in all aspects, but also cured his cancer.
I just don’t know what kind of abilities he will gain after absorbing the energy in this jade pendant.
Only then did Chen Feng realize why those images of the old lady flashed through his mind yesterday.
It turned out that he had a connection with the old lady, and an indissoluble bond with this jade pendant.
This jade pendant seemed destined to belong to him.
"Chen Feng, what do you think of this jade pendant?" Zhao Zixuan asked Chen Feng in the back seat while driving.
"Very good, I liked it at first sight. Grandma Liu, no matter what the expert's final price is, I will guarantee to give you one million. Of course, if the value is higher after appraisal, I am willing to pay according to the price. In short, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."
"No need, no need." Old Lady Liu waved her hands and refused. "It's the price. I won't let you suffer any loss."
Chen Feng said seriously: "I really like this jade pendant, and I'm really not short of money. Zixuan said I was a billionaire before, and that was not a joke, it was true. So, I am willing to spend more money."
Chen Feng was determined to get this jade pendant, and of course he couldn't let the old lady suffer any loss. Even if he had to spend an extra one or two million, he felt it was worth it.
"Really." The old lady also said seriously, "You are willing to buy this jade pendant, which has helped me a lot. I am also worried that Yan Guangyuan will cause trouble for you after you buy it. So, just buy it at the market price."
Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn't insist any longer, so he said, "Well, let's see what the experts say about the price then."
However, Chen Feng had already decided in his heart that he must help the old lady, at least to prevent the money from falling into the hands of her grandson. (End of this chapter)
