Liu Yifeng and Zhao Qing hurried to the living room and indeed saw Cai Zi acting erratically, giggling and shouting.
The Gu worms in the jar on the floor had also turned into a pool of blood.
"Tong Tong, has my son's love Gu been completely removed? How long until he wakes up?" Zhao Dewang asked.
Tong Tong removed the silver needles and replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhao. Uncle Zhao will no longer be troubled by love from now on.
However, Uncle Zhao took sleeping medication and will sleep for at least seven to eight hours, so he won't wake up until around 8 PM.
Don't panic if he wakes up in between; it's all normal."
Hearing this, Zhao Dewang finally put his mind at ease, "That's good. Tong Tong, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my son would have been ruined by that woman.
Grandpa Zhao has nothing else to give you, but this is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. I've collected it since I was young. I'm giving it to you as a gift, hoping that Tong Tong's calligraphy in the future will be as famous as the great Master Wang Xizhi!" As he spoke, Zhao Dewang handed the prepared calligraphy to Tong Tong.
Liu Yifeng, who had just entered the living room, heard Mr. Zhao's words and hurried in to decline, "Mr. Zhao, although I haven't collected anything and don't understand its value, I have heard of Master Wang Xizhi. He's such a famous calligrapher, so his calligraphy must be extremely precious and valuable. We can't accept this."
"You and your daughter have been teaching Tong Tong calligraphy for free. We're just helping out, how can we accept something so valuable?"
"Grandpa Zhao, what my dad said is right. I can't accept such a valuable item. Please take it back!" Tong Tong threw all the removed silver needles into the trash can, as they were no longer usable.
She then refused Zhao Dewang's kind offer.
Zhao Dewang insisted, "Although this item is precious, to ordinary people, it's just a useless piece of paper.
If you don't accept it, I will feel uneasy.
No collection is more important than my son's safety. Please accept it!"
Zhao Qing chimed in, "My dad is right. No matter how precious this is, it's just a piece of calligraphy. It can't compare to my brother's personal safety.
Since he intends to give it away, he doesn't expect it back. Mr. Liu, please accept it on behalf of Tong Tong. It's just a small token of my father's appreciation."
Seeing how sincere they were, Liu Yifeng found it difficult to refuse further, "Then... I'll accept it on behalf of Tong Tong. Thank you!"
With that, he carefully took the painting from Zhao Dewang's hand for Tong Tong.
This was a genuine collectible; he couldn't let it get damaged.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao!" Tong Tong immediately said gratefully.
Zhao Dewang then asked the nanny to change his son's bedding to a clean one, and the blood-stained quilt was thrown away.
He then asked Zhao Qing to wipe the bloodstains from Shu Bo's body before leaving the room, allowing him to continue sleeping.
Back in the living room, Liu Yifeng looked at the now insane woman and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what do you plan to do with her?"
Zhao Dewang coldly snorted at Cai Zi, "We'll keep her for now. Once my son wakes up, I'll let him see for himself what kind of woman he was going to marry. Then, we'll drive her out and let her fend for herself!"
A woman who had gone mad was no longer worth the effort to deal with.
Liu Yifeng said nothing further upon hearing this; such an outcome was her own doing. "Since Tong Tong has removed the love Gu, we'll be leaving now. We can still make it back for class this afternoon!"
With that, he prepared to leave with Tong Tong.
Zhao Dewang suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right. The 'Most Powerful Brain' program is about to be recorded. The contestants and special invited guests will record some short videos in advance.
Some of these special guests are predetermined, while others are selected through auditions.
Since the groups haven't been formed yet, do you have any requirements for the special guests? Perhaps I can help Tong Tong pick a good guest!"
"No need. I believe that no matter who is Tong Tong's special guest, Tong Tong will still perform exceptionally well!" Liu Yifeng shook his head and refused.
Zhao Dewang nodded in agreement, "I believe so. Then it will be up to the program team to arrange it.
The spots should be finalized in about a week."
The thought of Tong Tong meeting Yun Duo'er soon brought a flicker of anticipation to Liu Yifeng.
However, what he anticipated was not their meeting, but rather the look of regret in Yun Duo'er's eyes.
Her own son was a genius, yet she ran off to be a special guest for another contestant just for fame.
He wondered what her reaction would be when she saw that Tong Tong was also a contestant.
After leaving Zhao Dewang's house, Liu Yifeng drove to the kindergarten.
On the way, Tong Tong reminded Liu Yifeng, "Dad, don't damage the calligraphy Grandpa Zhao gave me. It's very precious."
"Oh, Tong Tong, do you also understand collectibles?" Liu Yifeng asked curiously.
Tong Tong nodded, "Grandpa You has many collectibles and is also an appraisal master. He taught me knowledge in this area, so I know the authenticity and value of cultural relics."
Liu Yifeng's eyes lit up, "Tong Tong, can you authenticate items at the antique market someday? Can you tell if they are real or fake?"
"Yes, but things at the antique market are generally fake. Even simple ones won't reveal many valuable relics."
Hearing this, Liu Yifeng felt a bit disappointed, "I was hoping to make a fortune from this!"
"If Dad wants to make money from this, he can participate in antique auctions. Most of the items there are genuine, and some are very valuable.
Besides, appraising cultural relics is actually very simple. I'll teach Dad when I have time. After studying for a while, Dad will be able to appraise cultural relics on his own."
Liu Yifeng's face lit up, "Really? Can Dad learn it too?"
He knew how deep the water in this industry was. His former boss once participated in an antique auction and even had a certificate of appraisal, yet the item he bought at a high price turned out to be fake. He couldn't find the auctioneer and had to swallow the loss.
It was said that his boss had studied appraisal knowledge, and he could still be fooled. What about him, who had never been exposed to this field?
Tong Tong patted her chest with conviction, "If others teach Dad, he definitely won't learn, but if I teach him, it's different. I guarantee Dad will quickly learn this knowledge."
With Tong Tong's guarantee, Liu Yifeng had nothing more to worry about.
Before long, he arrived at the kindergarten and sent Tong Tong in.
"Bye, Dad!" Tong Tong waved at Liu Yifeng.
Liu Yifeng smiled and waved back, "Bye, Tong Tong. Be good and listen to your teacher at school. Dad will pick you up after class!"
After watching Tong Tong go in, Liu Yifeng immediately called Qiang Zi, "Where are you two now?"
"We're at the mall. Lu Fei came in a hurry and didn't bring anything. He needs to buy some clothes to change into. Come over when you're done. This kid is so indecisive about buying clothes, he hesitates over everything I say, like a sissy," Qiang Zi's voice came from the phone.
Liu Yifeng replied, "Which mall are you at? I'll come over now."
After finishing shopping, he could then go pick up Tong Tong.
