Chapter 193 The rain is coming
Chapter 193. The rain is about to come
"I don't understand, Mr. Ren. Although this calligraphy is not top-notch in ancient calligraphy and painting, it is worth more than 1000 million. Why did you give it to me for no reason?"

"How could it be for no reason? Didn't I just say that last time I was assisted by Professor He in the Ninth Five-Year Court."

"Just for this?"

"Isn't it enough? Oh, if there is anything else, I have always admired the character of Jinshi He's family, so it's not surprising that I want to take this opportunity to make a good relationship?"

Given the reputation and status of Jinshi He's family, it's not surprising that some people want to curry favor, but more than 1000 million seems to be too much, and Ren Ping's personality is not like an ordinary philistine.

Suspicion arose in He Suyuan's heart, and he thought that if Ren Ping was really just trying to make friends with the Jinshi He family, why didn't he give it away at the Youshenghang auction that day, but why did he have to wait until now?
No, the details really don't make sense.

When he came here today, he was already prepared for the asking price. The market price of the Qianlong calligraphy was around 1000 million. Even if Ren Ping doubled it to 2000 million or 3000 million, he would buy it without hesitation.

But this sudden appearance made him feel uneasy.

"Mr. Ren, thank you for your love, the whole He family is willing to make you a friend. If you encounter any difficulties or need help, please speak up. The He family will never refuse to help."

"If you can't help, I'm sorry to say it bluntly. Although the He family is determined to get this thing, if the required conditions are against the family's bottom line, then they can't be easily accommodated. Please forgive me, Mr. Ren."

Saying that, he rolled up the scroll again.

Ren Ping listened to what he said, and if he didn't put forward the terms of exchange clearly, he wouldn't accept it.

I couldn't help but praise secretly in my heart, thinking that I was born in a wealthy family, I think of misfortune before gaining benefits, have a long-term vision, and have a clear mind, which is not comparable to ordinary people who are blinded by benefits.

But in the final analysis, I still want it. I saw that after rolling up the scroll, He Suyuan just put it aside, instead of returning it to Ren Ping. I didn't say anything just now, so there is plenty of room for maneuver.

Tongchao Wenqu, Jinshi He's family, these eight words mean a lot to the He family.

Ren Ping had calculated this point in his heart, so he made this dark move two months ago.

Of course, he didn't want nothing from the He family. On the contrary, what he wanted them to do was the most critical step in the overall situation, but he couldn't say it clearly.

"Well, to be honest with Professor He, I do have something to ask."

"what's up?"

"It's a friend of mine. She wants to go to another school. I wonder if Professor He can help?"

"What school, South University?"

He Suyuan looked happy, and the first thing he thought of was this well-known Chinese university. He thought that although the matter is not easy, it is not difficult after all, just need to put in a little effort.

Unexpectedly, Ren Ping shook his head:
"No, my friend is still in elementary school. Logically speaking, the original school is not bad, but she doesn't like it. She just needs to change to a similar environment."

As he spoke, he wrote Xiao Fei's name, current school class and other information on a piece of paper and handed it over.

He Suyuan was taken aback: "It's that simple?"

"Yes, if Professor He is willing to help, I would be very grateful."

He Suyuan frowned slightly, thinking that with the He family's influence in the education world, it would be easy to change his primary school status, and it would not violate the family's bottom line.

It would of course be the best if the deal could be concluded in this way, but no matter how you look at it, this condition is too easy, and it is completely out of proportion to the Qianlong calligraphy.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally took the note:

"Okay, I agree. Within three days, your friend's student status will be transferred to the primary school attached to Nantah University. Besides, in the future, the He family can help with middle school and university, as long as it is within the scope of regulations."

"Middle school, university? That's not necessary..."

"Mr. Ren, you don't have to rush to refuse. What you have done is of great significance to the He family. This is also our friendship with you, how about it?"

Ren Ping couldn't laugh or cry.

Ever since he had a bad time at school last time, he has been thinking about changing Xiaofei's environment.

I didn't think about it at first, but I took advantage of the opportunity to say it today, thinking of changing the elementary school, it can be regarded as repaying Xiaofei's mother and daughter's kindness.

He had heard of the primary school affiliated to Nanjing University. It was a provincial key primary school, one level higher than Xiao Fei's previous city key primary school.

That's all. Who would have expected that He Suiyuan would do something so extreme and have to trade at an equal price with Ren Ping. This is good, and the middle school and university will be one-stop services in the future.

You must know that Jiangning itself is a big province of education, and Nanjing University is one of the top ten universities in the country. With the influence of Jinshi He's family, it can easily cover it, let alone other key middle schools.

It seems that Xiaofei doesn't have to worry about going to school in this life.

"Okay, thank you Professor He for your kindness."

"You're welcome, Mr. Ren. It's an honor to be your friend. I have a hunch that maybe we will meet again in the future."

There seemed to be something else in his words. He Suyuan smiled slightly, and after a moment's delay, he went downstairs with the Qianlong calligraphy painting.

Ren Ping sent him downstairs to the villa, but instead of turning back, he walked to a dense forest a few hundred meters to the left of the river bank.

This place is remote, and few people pay attention even in broad daylight. Just ten minutes ago, a murder case was staged here. However, all the images were captured by the pre-planned instrument He Suyuan. .

At this time, the murderer thought he had succeeded and had already escaped without a trace. A figure that looked like the victim was lying motionless among the dark trees.

It wasn't until two other figures approached that he coughed lightly and sat up slowly.

The two figures were of course Ren Ping and Long Yan. Ren Ping was in charge of using He Suyuan to take evidence just now, while Long Yan had been watching everything not far from the murder scene.

"Mr. Ren, Mr. Long."

The victim, who was supposed to be exhausted, sat up and greeted the two of them respectively. Looking carefully, it was Li Ming, the ancient martial arts master who assassinated Ren Ping under the order of Liu Shitang that day.

But at this time, his face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he was no longer as high-spirited as before.

Long Yan has been in charge of taking care of this person for a while, seeing his desolate expression, he couldn't help but feel pity, so he nodded slightly:

"Don't worry, your injury is not serious, except for the heart-protecting elixir you took beforehand, and then practice according to the exercises I said, twice a day, and you will recover soon."

"Thank you, Mr. Long."

Li Ming was grateful in his heart, cupped his fists, and looked at Ren Ping again.

Ren Ping smiled slightly: "Your task is completed. In a few days, you can leave after the police interrogate you."

"Really?" Li Ming's face was filled with joy.

"Of course, we will probably never see each other again in the future. You go your way, I cross my bridge, and the past will be erased, as long as you don't do evil and do those shameless things."

"Don't worry Mr. Ren, Mr. Li is nearly sixty years old, and he has already seen his age. What's more, Mr. Long has taught him these days, and he has deeply regretted what he did in the past. Thank you Mr. Ren for giving him the opportunity to start a new life again. Chance!"

Speaking of excitement, Li Ming couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.

This is not because he is exaggerating, but because he already knew what Ren Ping would arrange for him to do next. Shanglong Decoration was about to fall, and even those who had done dirty work for Liu Shitang in the past could not escape.

He was originally one of these people, but now that Ren Ping said it, it was a different matter.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to say, Li Ming observed the situation, and immediately found an excuse to recuperate, and returned to the temporary residence.

Long Yan glanced at the dark sky and the willows fluttering on the river bank, he couldn't help but smile:
"Mountain rain is coming."

"how do you know?"

Ren Ping didn't raise his head, as if he had something on his mind.

"I've lived here for almost two months, and the weather can tell. By the way, you're going back to Nanling after you're done, right?"

"Well, it's about time."

Ren Ping also looked up, and saw that the sky was low and dark clouds were densely covered, and the rain was probably heavy.
