Would Back Off

Hearing this, Grandpa Jiang was extremely surprised.

Whether Chen Yu was a psychologist or not was no longer important.

The fact that Chen Yu could describe the situation at that time without missing a single word meant that he knew everything.

Where did the couple find this person?

How could he be so capable at such a young age?

“Of course, you didn’t agree.”

“The artifact dealer thought that you felt that the money was too little, so he added another 500,000 yuan to the offer.”

“Who knew that you would call your son over and shoo this cultural relic dealer out.”

“When you went to the old mansion the next day, you found that a lot of things were missing.”

“The knocker on the main door is missing,” Chen Yu said while counting his fingers. “Dozens of exquisite green stone bricks are also missing.”

“These are only a part of them.”

“You know very well that that cultural relic dealer definitely did it.”

“Due to some reason, you cannot call the police.”

“After some planning, you came up with a solution.”

“You imitated your ancestors and pretended that there were ghosts here.”

“The next night, the cultural relic dealer came again with three accomplices.” “Although you’re already in your seventies,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile, “your body is still strong and healthy because you’ve been doing farm work for many years.”

“Plus, you often come to this place, so you know the interior like the back of your hand.”

“After they went in, you followed them in without batting an eyelid.”

“Using the terrain inside, you started to play tricks.”

“You created a strange shadow with a flashlight, shuttled back and forth, and imitated a ghost’s cry.”

“Just like that, you successfully scared them away.”

“However, money moves people’s hearts. Although you scared them away, other cultural relic dealers received news and came here to steal and make a fortune.”

“Although you have good stamina, you are already in your seventies. After squatting for a few days, your lumbar disc problem acted up.”

“Later, you thought of a way to let your dog act as a sentinel.”

“You’ve raised this dog for more than ten years, so it knows your orders.”

“You sent it here every night. If there’s any movement, it’ll come home and call you.”

Zhou Kexin, Hu Liang, and Pan Yueling listened intently.

Good heavens.

In order to monopolize the cultural relics, Grandpa Jiang really worked hard.

Not only did he personally go out to scare people, he even sent his dog out.

Grandpa Jiang lowered his head and sighed.

The others knew Chen Yu had revealed the truth word for word through Grandpa Jiang’s reaction.

“After a month-long battle of wits and courage, the news of this place being haunted has finally spread among the local cultural relic dealers.”

“No more cultural relic dealers dare to come here to take advantage of the place.”

“Just as you were preparing to rest for a few days, an even more troublesome situation appeared.”

“The old house that has been empty for decades has actually been targeted again.”

“It’s none other than the two of them.”

Chen Yu looked at Hu Liang and Pan Yueling.

“Oh, right, 1 forgot to ask. Do you guys still feel a little depressed by the price of your purchase?”

Chen Yu changed the topic and asked how much the two had spent purchasing this old mansion.

“Don’t mention it. It was a total of seven million.”

“The village won’t give us a single cent in discounts.”

Hu Liang made a ‘seven’ gesture.

“Do you know how much this place was originally sold for?”

Chen Yu asked with a smile.

Hu Liang shook his head.

“800,000. Actually, 600,000 to 700,000 is fine.”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Hearing this price, Hu Liang almost choked on his saliva.

Pan Yueling quickly massaged her boyfriend’s chest.

“Dr. Chen, the village committee raised the original selling price from a few hundred thousand to seven million. Are they taking us for fools?”

“No, it’s just to make you retreat.”

“They didn’t expect the two of you to be so determined.”

“Even if you had to sell your house in the city, you still chose to buy this old house.”

“Although Grandpa Jiang’s son is the village chief,” Chen Yu said with a smile, “he’s already met the two of you. He’s not willing to let such a big client go, and he can’t continue to let his father have his way.”

“Your son is the village chief!”

Hu Liang and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Grandpa Jiang’s face turned red.

It was because his son was the village chief that he did not leave.

“The village chief’s surname is Jiang, and so is his. They really are father and son!”

Hu Liang remembered the village chief’s surname and confirmed that Grandpa Jiang and the village chief were father and son.

“Dr. Chen, raising the price by nearly ten times was his idea, right?”

“I understand now,” Hu Liang said in realization when he saw Chen Yu nod.

“Grandpa Jiang is eyeing the antiques in this house. Once we buy it and move in, he won’t have the chance to make a fortune.”

“He took advantage of the convenience of his son’s village and deliberately increased the price of the house by ten times, hoping that we would back off.” Combining Chen Yu’s explanation with his own imagination, Hu Liang revealed Grandpa Jiang’s thoughts on the spot.

When an ordinary person hears this price, they will definitely scoff and leave.

After all, a house abandoned for decades was not worth a few million.

Unexpectedly, Hu Liang and Pan Yueling had their eyes set on this place.

The villagers didn’t know the two had seen many ancient-built courtyards before.

The prices were getting higher and higher, with some reaching tens of millions.

Hearing that it was only sold for seven million, while the two felt it was a little high, it was reasonable compared to the others.

In addition, the agent kept praising this old mansion, so the two did not continue bargaining.

“Grandpa Jiang’s plan failed, but he came up with another one,” said Chen Yu.

“He would keep up his haunted tricks.”

“The so-called accidents caused by the workers are all caused by him.”

“Grandpa Jiang is highly respected in the village. Few people in the village dare to disobey his words.”

“The workers you found to work were instructed to do so by Grandpa Jiang.”

“They were to pretend to have encountered something strange on purpose to leave a knot in your hearts.”

Following Chen Yu’s slow explanation, the doubts in Hu Liang and Pan Yueling’s hearts began to unravel bit by bit.

The two arrived here under the guidance of their housing agent.

According to the agent, the price of this house was not too high and was definitely within the range.

As for the specific price, he would have to discuss it with the village committee.

Who would have thought the agent would tell them the price directly within two days?

A total of seven million yuan.

The couple didn’t think much about it then, but now it seems like it was all a ruse.

Real estate agents were all smart people.

If the two didn’t want to buy it, it was useless to quote a price.

They would raise the price appropriately once they showed their intention to buy.

“The electric wires bitten by animals and the broken water supply were all his doings, right?”

“That’s right.”

Chen Yu nodded. “The electric wires were bitten off by Grandpa Jiang’s big yellow dog, and the water pipes were broken by him with a rock.”

“Was the ghost painting on the wall also made up by him to scare people?”

Hu Liang huffed unhappily.

“Not really.”

“I knew it, huh? It’s not him?”

Hu Liang was stunned.

“Grandpa Jiang, you should tell them yourself.”

Chen Yu sighed.

“This painting was painted by my great-grandfather.”

Grandpa Jiang went silent after that, his eyes filled with sadness..
