Chapter 271 Family Heirloom (1)
Hmm?
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
Although it was a little cold-blooded, Su Jingxing and Shen Qian had always shared a cooperative relationship, making fair transactions.
Now that Shen Qian was being targeted, Su Jingxing’s first reaction was that Shen Qian was asking for help.
As such, just as he was about to speak, Shen Qian, who was on the other end of the line, said again, “I would like to ask for Senior’s help. If you are willing to help me, one of the Shen Family’s family heirlooms will be yours.”
“…What heirloom?” asked Su Jingxing calmly.
Shen Qian fell silent.
A moment later, she replied with a bitter laugh, “To be honest, I don’t know either. This matter happened too suddenly and it’s quite complicated too. Senior, if you have time, how about we talk face-to-face?”
“Sure,” Su Jingxing continued to respond calmly. “See you at the bridge on the north bank of the Sky Water River in half an hour.”
“Alright, Senior,” replied Shen Qian quickly. “See you in half an hour.”
After hanging up, Su Jingxing tossed his phone in surprise.
Shen Qian was in a life-and-death situation.
On account of their many pleasant collaborations, Su Jingxing didn’t mind helping her once.
But only this time.
After this, Su Jingxing would cut off all contact with her and never interact with her again.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qian was very smart and directly stated that this was a deal.
He helped, and Shen Qian would give him a family heirloom. If Shen Qian’s family heirloom was good, or even powerful, like Thunderbolt, naturally, Su Jingxing wouldn’t refuse the deal.
The descendants of martial artists might not necessarily be martial artists.
Similarly, the descendants of ordinary people might not necessarily be ordinary people.
On Earth Star, anything was possible.
Family heirlooms were never an exception. There was nothing surprising about the fact that Shen Qian’s ancestors were well off.
What interested Su Jingxing was what exactly was the treasure?
Ordinary things wouldn’t threaten one’s life.
After pondering for a moment, Su Jingxing suppressed his doubts, took out his cloak and mask, and put them on.
He left the house, soared into the air, and rushed to the appointed location.
There were not many cars on the bridge at night, but there were many people.
After Su Jingxing arrived, he waited for a while and saw Shen Qian rushing over. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m late.” She lowered her head in fear and apologized.
IS
“It’s okay.” Su Jingxing lowered his voice and said calmly, “It’s not the agreed time yet, so you’re not late. There’s no need to talk about this anymore. Tell me what happened to you.”
“Alright, alright.” Shen Qian took a deep breath to calm herself down.
“Let’s talk over there.” Su Jingxing stepped down the steps and arrived at the riverbank. He walked along the riverbank and into the distance.
Shen Qian quickly followed. At the same time, she thought for a while before introducing.
“Here’s what happened. Three days ago, an uncle I have in the capital suddenly came to my door and asked for an item.
“At the very beginning, my family lived in the capital. When my grandfather was young, he came to Qinghe City. He settled down here and stayed for decades. When it came to me, I was already a local of Qinghe.
“According to the family register, this uncle who came knocking on my door is only related to my grandfather’s grandfather generation. They were cousins.
“By the time it reached my generation, the two sides had long since lost contact. In fact, if he hadn’t come knocking on my door, I wouldn’t even know that my Shen Familys’ roots came from the capital.
“All this time, I thought I was from Qinghe. I didn’t expect…
“Therefore, when this uncle from the capital came to me and asked me for an item, I had no idea what he was talking about.
“It was only after this uncle repeatedly reminded me that I recalled it was something on my grandfather, a circular ring!
“I was still young then, about five or six years old. At that time, because I was mischievous, when Grandpa was tidying up the cabinets, I saw a circular ring on the side. I took it out and ran away.
“I remember very clearly. At that time, Grandpa was furious. He caught up to me and shouted at me. I was terrified and had nightmares for several consecutive nights. I cried the moment I saw Grandpa.
“After that, my parents brought me out to live for a few years. I only saw Grandpa again when I was a few years older. Although I was still a little afraid of him, I did not break down again. Moreover, Grandpa apologized to me and played with me every day. He brought me to eat good food. That was how we got close again.
“A few years later, when I was in high school, Grandpa suddenly came to me one day and told me about the circular ring. He said that the ring is a family heirloom of the Shen Family. Those who are not direct descendants cannot be told about it, nor can they inherit
“According to the family rules, the circular ring in Grandpa’s hand was to be passed down to my younger brother. It has always been the Shen Family’s rule to pass down heirlooms to sons and not daughters. However, because Grandpa was feeling guilty that he scared me when I was young, he decided to pass the circular ring to me.
“At first, I was indeed very happy. I had to look at it every night before I went to bed. But after looking at it for several years, I didn’t find anything. The family heirloom didn’t show any signs of being a “treasure”, so I gave it to my younger brother. Of course, before I gave it to him, I took many photos.
“A few years later, because of the Shi Family, my family was broken up. My parents and younger brother passed on, and because I gave the ring to my younger brother, I didn’t know where he hid it. From then on, it disappeared. I also forgot about it.
“It wasn’t until three days ago when this uncle from the capital came knocking on my door that I recalled and dug out a photo.”
At this point, Shen Qian stopped talking and took out a few photos, handing them to Su Jingxing
Su Jingxing took them. Without going under the street lamp, he activated his secret ability, Night Vision, and looked at the circular ring in the photos.
At first glance, it looked like a bracelet. However, upon closer inspection, one could tell that this bracelet was extremely special.
