Chapter 803

Placing her hand on it, many stories about this calligraphy and painting from throughout history appeared in her mind.

A simple character for "trust" is enough to disrupt a person's mind, eventually causing them to sink into a dreamscape where they cannot distinguish reality from dreams.

Whether you were an emperor, prime minister, or general of a previous dynasty, you could not escape the fate of gradually losing your sanity.

Jiang Tu's expression changed drastically, "What?!"

Chairman Jiang was even more horrified, "Is it that serious?"

"Dad, haven't you heard about the things that happened to Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Ding's families? Several people in each family died! You must have heard about it from Gu Lao!" Jiang Tu was afraid his father would be muddled; if he didn't believe Shu Xia now, by the time things reached the end, their family would be finished!

With such a large family business, he couldn't shoulder it right now!

"Don't speak, let Shu Xia talk."

The horror on Chairman Jiang's face had not yet faded; of course he had heard of it, but since it hadn't happened to him, he also believed that no one could deceive him.

As it turned out, without realizing it, he had actually been schemed against?

Jiang Tu didn't speak again, waiting for Shu Xia to talk.

"Where abroad did Chairman Jiang buy this from? Do you remember the person who sold this calligraphy and painting?" Shu Xia asked.

Chairman Jiang frowned, "I can't recall. I only remember it was a very old person. Come to think of it, it's strange; now that I think about this person, I actually can't remember what they looked like."

At his age, it wasn't time for his memory to be poor yet; he could remember everything, big or small, in the company clearly.

Yet now, when asked by Shu Xia, he tried to recall it and actually couldn't.

Shu Xia's expression was grave, "Recently, many of these Evil Objects have appeared in Jing City, harming some people. It should be the same person."

"Daring to scheme against me like this, I will have people find this person," Chairman Jiang said angrily.

"Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Chairman Jiang, this painting... burn it," Shu Xia said while looking at the calligraphy and painting.

For this kind of harmful thing, destroy one every time you see one; absolutely do not give these Evil Objects another chance to harm people.

She didn't know how Zhong Nainai would handle such an Evil Object, but if she were to handle it, it would be destroyed.

"Burning it will suffice?" Chairman Jiang asked.

Jiang Tu was afraid Chairman Jiang would be muddled, "I'll burn it!"

"Burn it at high noon," Shu Xia instructed.

Chairman Jiang's complexion was not good; he looked at Jiang Tu, who was taking down the calligraphy and painting, with lingering fear, "You finally did one right thing. If it had been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Jiang Tu was speechless: "Dad, for these things bought from abroad recently, you should just let Shu Xia help take a look. Otherwise, if there's a fish that slipped through the net, what will Mom and I do?"

He still wanted to play for a few more years.

"I only bought this piece of calligraphy from abroad recently; I didn't buy anything else," Chairman Jiang cursed inwardly.

Why was his son not like him?

Not only does he have no ambition for a career, but he only knows how to slack off every day!

The way he looks every day is annoying just to think about.

After Jiang Tu burned the calligraphy and painting and sent Shu Xia away, he only then realized it was lunchtime.

Shu Xia happened to be hungry too, and at Jiang Tu's invitation, they went to a nearby restaurant together.

"I told Qiao Muting that I was treating you to a meal."

After Jiang Tu sent the message, he said to Shu Xia.

He was afraid Shu Xia would feel burdened eating with him.

Moreover, he had also secretly asked Qiao Muting how much he should give Shu Xia; after all, if it weren't for Shu Xia, his family wouldn't know what kind of disaster they would have suffered.

When Shu Xia heard the name Qiao Muting, she tugged at the corners of her mouth and nodded with a faint smile.

Just then, they ran into Xu Zihan head-on.

Xu Zihan looked surprised, her gaze scrutinizing Shu Xia and Jiang Tu strangely, "You two..."
