Chapter 407: I’ll Pay Ten Times the Price
Qin Xiangyang wasn’t worried about thieves in the house, after all, they had a military dog, and ordinary people would be scared just by hearing Conghua barking. Moreover, the security in the area was good, thieves wouldn’t dare to come, and there weren’t many valuable items at home, but it wasn’t few either. It wouldn’t make sense to steal just a screen, would it? That would be foolish.
The value of that screen, people outside the Qin family wouldn’t know.
Moreover, something that big couldn’t just be openly moved. When it was brought in, it took several large men to carry it.
"Granny, don’t worry, let me ask around first, big items can’t just be taken away like that."
Qin Xiangyang comforted Granny Lu, then left some classmates to stay with her while he went out to inquire. Right, he also made a phone call to Jian Zhiqing.
"Hello, Brother Jian, it’s Xiangyang. Something has happened at home..."
Soon after, Jian Zhiqing came back, along with Qin Xiangyang.
"What did you find out?" Jian Zhiqing had come back as soon as he heard about it. After all, the value of the Qingming River Painting wasn’t about how much money it was worth. To put it bluntly, it could be considered a national treasure, containing some extinct embroidery techniques, so its real value lies there, not in the 100,000 yuan Mr. Song gave.
"I found something," Qin Xiangyang was sweating profusely, "The old man from the small shop said that today a woman went there to make a phone call about hiring a vehicle to move something, and said it was the one living with us who went with her. He remembered clearly because last time she spent over thirty yuan on long-distance charges and almost didn’t want to pay. Granny, did Qin Xiangmei bring someone over today?"
"Yes," Granny Lu couldn’t help but complain when talking about it, "Qin Xiangmei had already said she would bring classmates over today and asked me not to come back early. When I came back, the house was a mess, and while I was tidying up, I noticed the screen was missing," as she talked, Granny Lu started to cry. She cared for that beautiful screen every day, wiping it meticulously, and it was lost just like that.
"Granny, it’s okay," Jian Zhiqing comforted Granny Lu, worried that she might take it too hard, "We will find it back."
