Chapter 828 The Lucky Portrait Hides Behind A Hand



Once Song Yan returned home, she took out a yellow paper and then made an S-grade talisman for Chen Yishen and Fu Chen, she knew that since the two Chen sisters were not able to get rid of Chen Yishen, they will surely try something tonight. She did not wish for them to succeed which was why she made two talismans for the two kids and made them wear them around their necks since she was worried that they will drop them on the ground. 

As Song Yan was tying the talisman around Chen Yishen's neck, she heard him say, " Aunt Song … was I the one who caused my father to get hurt like this?"

Though Chen Yishen did not tell this to anyone he trusted Song Yan a bit more than the rest because she spoke up for him at the hospital and even brought him back to her house.

When Song Yan heard his words, she raised her head and looked at Chen Yishen. She did not say anything instead she waited for him to say what he wanted to tell her, seeing that Song Yan was not acting annoyed or impatient with him and was even waiting for him to continue speaking, 

" My father was behaving rather weirdly for a few days, he would pop in and out of my aunts' room and even seemed to be staying inside his room for very long hours." 

Chen Yishen did not think much about it after all, he was just a child and did not have many thoughts about anything. But then again he noticed everything, he saw his father was giving special care while entering the room of his aunts and each time he went inside he would only stay there for a few minutes before sneaking out of the room and then locking himself up in his own room. 

And each time his father went inside the room of his aunt, they would be out of the house. 

Chen Yishen quickly told about this matter to Song Yan. 

Song Yan's eyes could not help but flicker slightly when she heard Chen Yishen say that his father had been going inside the rooms of his aunts and that too when they were not at home. 

She knew that Commander Chen was sharp but she did not expect him to be this sharp. He was truly worthy of the position that he was holding, he must have sensed something was wrong with the Chen sisters when he saw that horrible sight inside the greenhouse, which was why he tried to investigate the matter on his own. He must have thought that the conclusion on which he arrived was too far-fetched which was why he did not tell anyone about it and simply dealt with the entire thing on his own.

" Did he go to the greenhouse of your aunts?" Song Yan asked as a sudden realisation struck her. It was impossible for the Chen sisters not to know that someone was poking inside their rooms but they were no fools to leave anything behind in their rooms which was why they did not make a move at Commander Chen. 

The fact that they suddenly made such a hasty decision, it must have been because Commander Chen found out something. 

Chen Yishen shook his head and then hesitated before saying, " My dad …he said that he found the lucky portrait. I don't know what he meant by that —- but he said that it was behind a hand—— Aunt Song what is wrong?" 

When Chen Yishen was speaking Song Yan reached out and held his shoulders which caused Chen Yishen to wince as he looked at Song Yan who was looking at him with an alarmed look on her face.

" Did you tell anyone about that lucky portrait?" Song Yan asked, if Chen Yishen said these words to anyone else then surely that person would be in danger as well!

"No, I did not! Dad said that I was not allowed to tell anyone except someone whom I trust, he said that he was going to burn that portrait down tonight but then…" his eyes dimmed as he continued speaking, " He was going to go to our old house tonight but then Qing Qing went to play and did not return in the afternoon which was why father went to look for her…but then he came back running towards our house, he was carrying Qing Qing in his arms and asking me to run back to my room and lock the door while staying next to the small shrine that he brought for me and my sisters." 

Chen Yishen was really scared and when his father yelled at him, he did as he asked without even questioning what was wrong. But now he wished he did because that way, he could have saved his father faster.

" Did you hear something?" Song Yan asked while picking Chen Yishen up from the ground and heading towards her room where Fu Yu Sheng and Fu Chen were already sleeping. 

" I heard my father screaming at me to call Uncle Yan and there were a lot of hissing, like many snakes were slithering outside in the room," Chen Yishen responded with a frown because he did not see any snakes when he came out of the room. 

' Chen Xi?' Since she had seen Chen Chu Chu's real form and knew that it was a spider, Song Yan knew that the snake demon must be Chen Xi. No wonder this matter was not clearly taken care of, it was Chen Xi who was in charge.

" You don't need to worry anymore. I will protect you from the snakes tonight as for what your father said to you about the lucky portrait, keep it from everyone else, all right?"  Song Yan told Chen Yishen, she was both impressed and embarrassed by Commander Chen's investigating skills, he was this fast when it came to finding the portrait and yet she was still looking for it but now that she knew where it was, she could heave a breath of relief since she knew what hand was he talking about.
