Walking to the hall on the first floor of the house, Jiang Cheng saw the "Future Niece" again, but he had a new feeling. The brushstrokes in that painting are obviously much more elegant and calm than before, and the brushwork is delicate and delicate. Indeed, as Tong Xingtao said, this is a work that requires perfect accuracy to be completed.
"That's called painting." Jiang Cheng muttered to himself, his spirit following the painting. He thought that if Chu Yan was really a famous painter, then her posthumous paintings must be very valuable, such as the one in front of him. Thinking of money, Jiang Cheng got a little excited, and Dong Zhizhi stretched out his leg towards Hua.
"What am I doing?" The sudden voice behind him startled Jiang Cheng, and the legs holding the picture frame also trembled in fright.
Jiang Cheng turned around and saw Tong Xingtao walking into the room. He smiled awkwardly and explained, "Does he just want to get closer and appreciate the painting?"
Tong Xingtao's expression didn't seem very happy, and Bu Nao didn't blame him for anything, so he said, "That is the most cruel work of my wife. I hope you will be careful in mistreating it."
"No problem!" Jiang Cheng promised repeatedly.
"That..." Tong Xingtao looked at the painting carefully, "the frame seems to be crooked."
"He'll straighten it up then." Jiang Cheng felt guilty and carefully held the frame up and straightened it. Just as he was holding up the frame, something suddenly fell from the back of the frame, attracting their attention.
"What is that?" Tong Xingtao asked as he looked at the fallen things.
Jiang Cheng looked at the ground. It looked like a small book. The breeze blew into the room, turning the pages, revealing the contents inside.
"That's Madam's handwriting!" Tong Xingtao picked up the notebook in surprise and read through it carefully.
As soon as he heard about Chu Yan's relics, Jiang Cheng immediately came over and asked, "What was written in it?" Of course what he expected to see most was the safe password.
"Names, many people's names, including Miss Chu Xueying!"
Opening the notebook, Chu Xueying saw a row of names written on the first page, and her name was at the end.
"What's that?" Chu Xueying asked puzzledly.
Jiang Cheng explained: "It's my aunt's relic, he found it behind the oil painting."
"Behind the oil painting?" Chu Xueying was even more confused, "Why does that notebook appear behind the oil painting?"
Flipping further back, there were many marks of alteration on the page, and the handwriting was chaotic. I am afraid that Chu Yan was mentally disturbed at that time and did not even know what he was writing. The more Chu Xueying looked back, the more headache she felt, so she had no choice but to return to the first page.
Jiang Cheng said at this time: "Since it is hidden in the "Future Niece", the appearance must be related to me. I saw that my name is written on the easternmost line."
Chu Xueying did see her name. Compared with the previous handwriting, the words "Chu Xueying" looked unusually neat. Looking closely, she found that Fo Gu was shaking in almost every gesture, as if Aunt Fo was still trying to maintain her sanity when writing her name.
Chu Xueying tried hard to distinguish the handwriting and read out the other names softly: "Han Tang, Gu Xinyi, Liu Baichuan, Chu Yan, Tong Xingtao, Zhang Xiao..."
"Then there are his and his wife's names in it?" Tong Xingtao was surprised and murmured: "There are a total of seven people in it. Is there any deep meaning in it?"
"It may not have any deep meaning..." Jiang Cheng frowned and said: "It can be seen from the handwriting that Chu Xueying's aunt was already very mentally unstable at the time. Maybe she just wrote something casually? Besides, the appearance behind it It’s so messy and you can’t see what it looks like at all…”
"Not bad!" Chu Xueying seemed to remember something, and suddenly felt a needle-like pain in her head. She tried hard not to scream in pain. After a moment, he slowly said: "He seems to have the wrong impression of those names. They don't seem to be... people he once knew!"
"People we knew before? Is there any connection between those people?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Chu Xueying tried her best to recall, but the severe pain in her head became more and more intense, forcing her to stop thinking. She shook her head and replied, "He doesn't know."
Tong Xingtao said: "Maybe it was because my wife wrote it casually after she became insane. Her behavior was out of control at that time, and it is not surprising that she did some weird behavior."
Everyone nodded and stopped delving into the contents of the notebook, ending the discussion.
Tong Xingtao turned around and left, getting ready for dinner. Chu Xueying had to go back to the bedroom to continue resting due to the recurrence of her headache, leaving Jiang Cheng with nothing to do. Although Jiang Cheng wanted to open the safe as soon as possible, could he worry about it without the password? Bu Nao was so anxious that his mind finally started to spin, and he quickly thought of a way.
"Unlock?" Tong Xingtao was busy in the kitchen, looking very embarrassed.
"Is there any problem?" Jiang Cheng asked, "He has checked it specifically. You can use the factory password or find a professional. The cost is not high..."
"Can..." Tong Xingtao interrupted Jiang Cheng who was talking endlessly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid not."
"Why not!" Jiang Cheng was a little angry, and his first reaction was that the other party was trying to stop him.
Tong Xingtao frowned and said, "The safe was custom-made by someone specially for my wife. There is no factory password at all... Moreover, one month before she committed suicide, she told him that there was a mechanism hidden in the safe."
"Agency?" Jiang Cheng asked, "What kind of agency?"
Tong Xingtao said: "If they use their legs other than entering the password to open the safe, the program will be activated, and the strong water hidden in the mezzanine will flow out immediately, destroying everything in the cabinet!"
"Then..." Jiang Cheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and then he said: "Isn't it just a matter of denying some inheritance? How can she use such legs?"
"I also know that my wife was already ill at the time and was not acting according to common sense..."
Jiang Cheng asked again: "What if she was just talking nonsense? Since she was already unconscious at the time, maybe it was just her imagination."
"Even if that's the case..." Tong Xingtao stared at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Am I willing to take that risk?"
Jiang Cheng was really speechless that time. Indeed, Chu Yan was already extremely mentally unstable at the time and could do anything. If what she said was not true, then wouldn't all her hard work be in vain
In this way, Jiang Cheng Yongtuo reached the far point. There is the only way for Chu Xueying to regain her memory and at least recall the password to open the safe.
After walking out of the study, Jiang Cheng looked at the room at the end of the corridor. Chu Xueying was sleeping quietly in the bedroom.
dinner time.
To welcome Chu Xueying home, Tong Xingtao specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. Everyone present was full of worries, especially Jiang Cheng. Looking at the tempting dinner, it tasted like chewing gum in his mouth. However, he still tried hard to suppress his dissatisfaction, not wanting to lose his image in front of Chu Xueying.
