Just as he turned to leave, the painter came looking for them.

When Li Chengping saw the painter come to find him, he was genuinely worried, thinking that the painter had encountered some problem again.

He quickly stepped forward and anxiously asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Have you run into any trouble?"

The painter was truly moved by Li Chengping's anxious expression, knowing that Li Chengping was always thinking of him.

To keep Li Chengping from worrying, he quickly reassured him, saying, "I'm fine, don't be so anxious."

Li Chengping breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; as long as he didn't encounter any problems, that was a good thing.

Xu Benliang, who was initially tense, relaxed considerably after hearing those words.

He quickly looked at the painter and asked, "So, what brings you here? Is there anything we can help you with?"

The painter smiled and looked at them, saying, "I came here because I have something to tell you, but I don't need your help this time."

"Guess what good news I have to tell you."

This really put Li Chengping and his team in a difficult position. They couldn't possibly guess what kind of good thing the painter would want to offer them.

Li Chengping looked at the painter with a troubled expression and said, "You're really putting me in a difficult position. To be honest, I really don't know what you need."

"Just say what you want to say! There's no need to keep us in suspense."

Seeing the painter Li Chengping's anxious expression, he said with a smile, "Didn't I already paint portraits of you?"

Hearing this, Li Chengping was even more confused. What did it have to do with a portrait?

He looked at the painter with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong? What does it have to do with the portrait?"

The painter continued with a smile, "Someone bought them for a high price. I really didn't want to give them your portraits at first."

"But they really want it, and I also think that doing this can help you."

Li Chengping couldn't understand how these portraits could help them with what he said.
Looking completely bewildered, Li Chengping said to the painter, "What you're saying really confuses me. What does it have to do with portraiture?"

"How did they help us? Please tell us in detail."

As the painter watched Li Chengping and the others become increasingly interested, he also grew more and more excited. Thinking about this matter, he felt incredibly excited.

He looked at Li Chengping and said happily, "Someone offered a high price to sell them. I brought all the money with me for your portraits."

“I think this money should be of great help to you. Originally, we were going to give you the portrait, but it was inconvenient for you to carry around, so it didn’t help you much.”

"But this time it should be of great help to you, and that will make me feel better."

When Li Chengping heard the painter say this, he was truly shocked. He never expected that their portraits could fetch such a high price.

This is indeed a good thing for them, as they were really struggling financially and had been scrimping and saving during this period.

They never expected the painter to help them in such a way.

Li Chengping looked at the painter with excitement and said, "This is really great for us. We were quite nervous at the time."

"If you put it that way, then we don't need to worry about anything else."

The painter hadn't expected that his method would actually help Li Chengping so genuinely. He quickly took the money and handed it to Li Chengping, who this time didn't refuse, because they were indeed facing some difficulties.

Li Chengping felt that there was nothing wrong with the rest of the words.

However, Li Chengping should still take this matter seriously and thank the painter, as he really helped them a lot.

Li Chengping looked at the painter with gratitude and said, "You have really helped us a lot this time. We are very grateful to you for coming up with such a good idea."

The painter naturally didn't want to hear Li Chengping's thanks; he had done all of this willingly.

Moreover, he felt that doing this would make him feel better, since Li Chengping and the others had suffered a lot to help him.

They were genuinely happy to be able to help Li Chengping.

He smiled at Li Chengping and said, "You really don't need to be so polite with me. This is just a way of expressing my gratitude."

"I really didn't know how to thank you before, but I'm very satisfied with this way."

Xu Benliang and Liu An also expressed their gratitude, but Cai Cai is still nowhere to be seen.

This made Li Chengping feel a little strange. He was a very polite person, and he would always be very enthusiastic and grateful to anyone who helped him.

But why didn't he show up this time?
This made Li Chengping a little nervous, and he quickly looked at Xu Benliang and said, "Go and see what's wrong with Cai Cai."

"So much time has passed, why hasn't he come out? Could something have happened to him?"

After hearing Li Chengping say that, Xu Benliang felt that Li Chengping might be overthinking things, since Cai Cai had already gone to rest.

He was probably too tired to hear their conversation.

He smiled and said to Li Chengping, "Aren't you being a little too nervous? Nothing will happen."

"I guess he was just too tired and fell asleep early. How could he possibly hear us talking!"

Hearing this explanation, Li Chengping finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried.

Regardless, he needed to make sure that Cai Cai was alright.

He continued looking at Xu Benliang with a serious expression and said, "No matter what, you should go and take a look first!"

"If he has nothing else to do, then let him get some rest!"

Seeing Li Chengping's insistence, Xu Benliang truly had no other choice.

He initially thought that Li Chengping was making a mountain out of a molehill and that it was completely unnecessary.

But seeing Li Chengping's insistence, he still went to see Cai Cai.

And indeed, something did happen. What happened before their eyes surprised and terrified them.

Cai Cai has disappeared.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Benliang had a bad feeling.

At this moment, he was also extremely anxious. (End of Chapter)
