"Dad, I don't know why this is happening."
"I don't want to talk about your affairs!"
"But I can't control myself!"
"There's always a voice in my heart telling me to tell the truth."
"Oh, right, that person said his name was Chen Nan."
"But I don't know him at all!"
"Dad, do you think I'm really crazy?"
Li Tong sobbed uncontrollably.
"Whether you're sick or not is no longer important. What's important is that you've ruined me!" Li Gang roared and moved to kick his son, wanting to kick him to death.
But he was stopped by the police in time.
"So, it all started because of Chen Nan!"
Lu Xiaojia's suspicion was confirmed.
First, at the scene of the Pang family massacre, Pang Zhen had written the words "Killer Chen Nan" in his own blood.
Then came Li Tong's confession.
Even if she had evidence that Chen Nan was responsible.
However.
Such evidence had no legal effect!
Nor could it be used to convict Chen Nan!
------
Soon, Sun Sihai called.
He informed Chen Nan that Li Tong and his son had both been detained, and would soon be handed over to the judicial department.
Although the judicial department had not yet intervened in their case.
One thing was obvious.
The best outcome for the father and son was to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
They might even be executed.
When Chen Nan delivered this news to He Shanshan.
He Shanshan cried tears of joy.
She even burned three sticks of incense in front of her parents' portraits.
To comfort their souls in heaven!
------
Afterwards, Chen Nan left the clinic.
He had already stayed out all night once yesterday.
If he stayed at the clinic overnight again, his parents would definitely notice.
He didn't want to reveal his relationship with He Shanshan.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Chen Nan returned home with a large bag of snacks and braised delicacies that Chen Hanlu liked.
The weather forecast predicted rain for tonight.
Since Chen Xiazhi would also be returning on Friday, Chen Shan and Jia Cui had not gone out to set up their stall.
"Brother, I missed you so much!"
Chen Xiazhi, wearing her Yingcai International school uniform skirt, exuded youthfulness, freedom, and playfulness.
She threw herself excitedly into Chen Nan's arms, wanting to give him a warm hug.
"Go play somewhere else!"
Chen Nan roughly pushed her face, causing the girl to look wronged and displeased.
Chen Hanlu sat silently in front of the television, as if she hadn't heard Chen Nan's return.
"Son, when did you learn calligraphy?" Jia Cui came out of the kitchen with a look of excitement and took the braised delicacies from Chen Nan.
Chen Shan's eyes were also filled with joy.
He was a farmer.
He had wanted to cultivate Chen Nan's calligraphy skills since he was young.
In his words, being able to write well with a brush meant being cultured.
But the boy hadn't been receptive as a child.
Today, his clerical script had amazed many, including them.
Chen Nan glanced at Chen Hanlu's back and then said, "I was idle in prison, so my master forced me to practice calligraphy."
"A genius, he's simply a genius!" Jia Cui laughed heartily, then looked at Chen Hanlu: "Third child, you've always wanted to improve your calligraphy, haven't you? I think your brother is the best teacher. Why don't you let him teach you?"
Chen Hanlu said indifferently, "Is he willing to teach?"
Chen Nan was stunned.
What was going on?
Wouldn't she have to refuse him outright?
But why would she say that?
Could it be that she wanted to learn calligraphy from him?
This was an excellent opportunity to ease the conflict between siblings!
But!
Knowing Chen Hanlu, this matter was definitely not that simple.
He had already offended her several times.
Given her personality, how could she be willing to learn calligraphy from him?
She must be brewing some kind of scheme!
Even so, he still said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you everything I know!"
Forget it!
Let's not overthink it.
Let's agree to it for now.
As for everything else, we'll take it as it comes!
"Alright!"
Chen Hanlu revealed a wicked smile.
Chen Shan said cheerfully, "Son, your uncles heard about your calligraphy skills and have been calling, wanting you to help them write a few characters."
"When you have some free time, why don't you write some for them?"
Chen Shan was not highly educated.
But he was kind.
He did have a few good brothers.
When they called now, he had agreed without thinking twice.
"We don't have any paper at home. Let's do it tomorrow night!"
He had to attend Pei Jian's opening ceremony tomorrow morning.
Barring any accidents.
He would be drinking a lot at noon.
He wouldn't have any free time before then.
Chen Shan laughed heartily, "Okay, then tomorrow night. Remember to write well and bring some honor to your old man!"
Perhaps because Chen Nan had agreed to teach Chen Hanlu calligraphy.
The atmosphere of this meal was very harmonious.
Although she didn't smile, she still helped her mother serve food, unlike her usual cold demeanor.
The atmosphere came alive!
Chen Hanlu's behavior made the whole family feel warm and happy.
Chen Shan even opened a bottle of white wine, and father and son had a drink.
However.
Chen Nan soon realized something was wrong.
A smooth little foot was touching his calf under the table.
This made him jump.
Because Chen Hanlu was sitting opposite him.
And at this moment, she was enjoying her meal as if nothing had happened.
"What is this girl up to?"
Chen Nan completely panicked.
Chen Shan: "What's wrong, son? Come on, have a drink!"
Chen Hanlu looked at Chen Nan, and a knowing smile flashed in her eyes.
Chen Nan didn't dare to meet her gaze and quickly pulled his foot back: "Oh, oh, drink!"
This meal.
He did not enjoy it.
After all, the table was not that big.
As long as Chen Hanlu lifted her foot, she could touch him.
She was very impolite.
But!
He couldn't say anything.
This made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
After the meal.
Chen Nan took a shower and went to his room.
Before, he had really wanted to talk to Chen Hanlu more and ease the relationship between siblings.
But now.
He didn't want to spend a single second with Chen Hanlu.
Because who knew what would happen next.
"Little brat, I don't believe I can't handle you!"
Chen Hanlu's eyes were playful, and she already harbored a desire for revenge!
------
The next day.
After getting up, Chen Nan found a brush and wrote eight characters for Pei Jian's opening ceremony: "May your business be prosperous, and may you gain immense wealth daily."
In addition, he prepared a red envelope.
It contained two thousand yuan and a recipe for medicinal cuisine.
To say the least, this medicinal cuisine recipe alone was worth hundreds of thousands, even millions!
After all, this was authentic imperial medicinal cuisine.
In the past, only emperors could enjoy it.
Infusing some into the dishes not only enhanced their flavor but also had health benefits.
If Pei Jian adopted his medicinal cuisine, his business would surely flourish!
This opening gift should be quite generous, right?
