Chapter 43: The Dangerous Old Man
"This old gentleman, I don't know what you called me?" Tang Xiaoxiao said softly, with a faint smile on his face.
"Hehe, I see that this young lady is as beautiful as a fairy, so I want to paint a picture for you, I want more people to appreciate your beauty, I don't know if I can borrow it for a while" The old man chuckled, giving people a kind feeling.
Tang Xiaoxiao heard others praise her, but she was very happy in her heart, every woman likes to be praised, some because of subtlety, so the performance is not so obvious, I saw Tang Xiaoxiao smile slightly, and her impression of the old man is not bad.
"Hehe, the old gentleman has won the award, I am not as good as you say, but I am willing to spare some time" Tang Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Thank you for this beautiful young lady, I will definitely leave your beauty so that many people can appreciate it, please here" The old man invited Tang Xiaoxiao very politely and politely.
Tang Xiaoxiao said "um" and followed the old man, but at the moment he turned around, the old man showed a hint of evil smile, but unfortunately Tang Xiaoxiao didn't notice it, her alertness was too weak, thinking that there was no danger here.
"Here, this is where I work, I paint here every day, and sometimes I invite other people to be models, and I saw such a beautiful lady tonight, so I sent you an invitation" The old man smiled, and his voice was very soft.
"Hehe, I've won the award, I'm fine, there are people who are prettier than me," Tang Xiaoxiao said a little embarrassed.
"They may be prettier than you, but they can't have a noble and elegant temperament like you, just like Athena, and the people I invited, beauty is secondary, the important thing is temperament" The old man's words made Tang Xiaoxiao even happier and less vigilant.
Xiao Chen put the things away and walked back, but he didn't find Tang Xiaoxiao, he looked around, there was still no Tang Xiaoxiao, he was alert by nature and felt a little wrong.
"What's the matter, didn't you say that you were waiting for me here, where did you go?" Xiao Chen said in a low voice, slowly looking around.
This water cloud gallery is very large, and it takes a while to finish it, and after a few minutes, there is still no trace of Tang Xiaoxiao, which makes him more vigilant and stops continuing to search blindly.
"Someone must have seen her, go ask someone else to take a look" Xiao Chen said secretly in his heart and returned to the original place.
"Excuse me, have you seen a girl, tall and thin, very beautiful, wearing a coffee-colored dress," Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, we just got here, so we didn't see the girl you were talking about," they said in unison.
Xiao Chen frowned, his face became heavy, he asked a few people in a row, but he didn't find any trace of Tang Xiaoxiao, which made him a little worried, if those people kidnapped Tang Xiaoxiao, it would be troublesome.
"Hello, may I ask, have you seen a girl, a beautiful girl in a coffee-colored dress, she was in this place just now, but now she doesn't know where to go" Xiao Chen asked again, he believed that someone must have seen it.
"Hehe, you said that girl, I did see it just now, she looks very beautiful, and has a noble temperament, she was indeed here just now, but then a white-haired old man came to talk to her, and the two chatted happily, and then I saw her leave with the white-haired old man, I should have been invited, I sometimes encounter such things" The woman chuckled.
Xiao Chen didn't relax because of this, but became more vigilant, and said in a deep voice, "Then which direction are they going?"
"No, that's over there," the woman said, gesturing.
"Thank you," Xiao Chen finished speaking, and walked in the direction that the other party was pointing.
……
"Old man, is it okay, my feet are a little sore," Tang Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice.
"Give me another minute, it'll be fine in a minute, I'll take something first" The old man said lightly, walking towards Tang Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xiaoxiao was very helpless, as long as she continued to stand, but she felt very happy that her portrait could be placed here for many people to appreciate, so she felt that it was nothing to suffer a little.
A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he walked towards Tang Xiaoxiao, and when he got close to Tang Xiaoxiao, he showed his fangs, only to see that he was holding a piece of cloth in his hand, and suddenly launched an attack on Tang Xiaoxiao, pressing the piece of cloth on Tang Xiaoxiao's nose, and the whole process was very short.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know that such a thing would happen, the old man in front of her, who looked very kind, actually attacked her, and by the time she reacted, it was too late, she felt a wave of vertigo constantly hitting her brain, and she soon fainted.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to deceive you in a few words, it's so easy" The old man smiled evilly, and the previous kindness was all gone, replaced by a sinister face, only to see him take out his mobile phone and make a call.
"I've already caught someone, I'll send them over later, is my honorarium ready?" the old man said coldly.
"Don't worry, as long as you bring people, the honorarium will definitely not be less than you, but I remind you to leave quickly, she has a bodyguard by her side, and her strength is very strong, don't be careless"
"Don't worry, I've always been very cautious in doing things, there will never be any accidents, I'll pass later, hang up first" The old man said lightly, hung up the phone, and looked at Tang Xiaoxiao, who fainted on the ground, and laughed.
"Hehe, little girl, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame the person who invited me, I didn't expect you to be so valuable" The old man sneered, helped Tang Xiaoxiao up, and prepared to leave the room.
Xiao Chen felt a dangerous aura, his heart tightened, and he quickened the speed of searching, "Excuse me, sir, excuse me, have you seen a woman in coffee-colored clothes and an old man?"
"See, the old man invited the girl to his studio to paint a picture for the girl," the middle-aged man said softly.
Xiao Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Then do you know where that old man's studio is?"
"I saw them going to the second floor just now, but I don't know which one it is," the middle-aged man shook his head.
"Thank you," Xiao Chen hurriedly walked towards the second floor after finishing speaking.
Although he didn't ask for a specific location, he knew a general location, and with his ability, it was not difficult to find Tang Xiaoxiao.
"Really, how can you go with someone casually, without even the most basic vigilance, is it because this period of time is too comfortable, so she feels that there will be no danger, so she will leave with the other party?" Xiao Chen secretly said in his heart, feeling that this possibility was relatively high.
"Forget it, don't worry about these for now, the most important thing is to find Xiaoxiao" Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, throwing away all the thoughts just now.
