After the off-road vehicle drove out of the family compound of the Provincial Youth League Committee, it first drove west for a while, and then all the way to the north, and seemed to have a clear destination.

Li Rui saw it in his eyes, secretly frightened, and asked tentatively: "A few big brothers, I am just an ordinary section-level cadre, I don't have any money, you ask me for money, but I ask the wrong person." Don't look at me driving a BMW X5, it was borrowed from a friend to drive it, not I bought it myself. ”

When he said this, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, in this way, wouldn't he sell Zixuan? If these four wicked men really came to ask for money, and they couldn't ask for money from themselves, they would definitely force themselves to lure Zixuan out, then she would be in danger, thinking of this, I wanted to slap my two big mouths, but after thinking about it, I could still remedy it, and I would rather die under their knives than betray my good wife Zixuan.

The Humpty Dumpty man looked back at him a few times, his eyes were extremely fierce, and he grinned: "Do you have a painting in your hand, worth tens of millions?"

Li Rui's heart was shocked, and then he realized that he had just thought too much, they didn't fight the abacus of their wealth at all, but the idea of playing the "Old Temple in the Mountains", and exclaimed in amazement: "How do you know?"

Humpty Dumpty smiled and said, "So there's such a painting, right? In your hometown of Qingyang, right? Okay, now let's go to Qingyang, you obediently hand over that painting to us, and we'll let you go." ”

Li Rui was shocked and shouted, "Do you still know that my family is in Qingyang?

He asked a question, but in his heart he had already thought that this group of people should be the creditors and subordinates who were owed usury by Kang Chengfu, assistant to the president of the Provincial Agricultural University, because in the entire Jingnan City, the only people who knew about the painting were Chi Guohua, Kang Chengfu and the professor Liu Shiqi from the School of Art of Shannan University can first exclude Liu Shiqi, because he doesn't know that he is from Qingyang; secondly, they can also exclude Chi Guohua, because President Chi is bright and upright, and will not divulge the secret of that painting to the outside world; only Kang Chengfu knows the value of the painting, and also knows that he is from Qingyang, and he owes a huge amount of usury that cannot be repaid, and he is most likely to leak the news to the creditor intentionally or unintentionally, and the other party is jealous of the huge value of the painting, so he will naturally have bad intentions and go out to kidnap himself and coerce himself to hand over the painting。

Li Rui thought of this, but he didn't reveal the other party's identity in person, because he was worried that after he revealed their identities - even if he didn't know their exact identities, just exposed their collusion with Kang Chengfu, in order not to be caught by the police, they might kill themselves afterwards, otherwise he would call the police afterwards and let the police look for clues directly from Kang Chengfu.

The Humpty Dumpty man smiled: "This is what you want to ask, I have to tell you, you know Kang Chengfu of the Provincial Agricultural University, that old boy owes us millions, and he can't afford to sell the house, we came to him to ask for debts, he doesn't know what to think, and he actually told you that you have a painting of tens of millions in your hand." But we have no grievances with you, and we can't snatch your paintings out of thin air, so we ignored them after hearing it. But not long ago, he called me out of the blue, saying that you were going to the Provincial Agricultural University, and he wanted to make a deal with me with you—let me get the painting from you, and the millions he owed me would be written off. I thought about it, this transaction value, although it is a bit not authentic, but there is an old saying that people die for money, and birds die for food, and there is nothing unauthentic. Therefore, brother, if you are to blame, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame Kang Chengfu for betraying you!"

In the process of listening to him say this, Li Rui has noticed that although he has a smile on his face, the cold light in his eyes flashes, with a strong murderous intent, and then there is the meaning of his words, which is to kill himself afterwards, for example, his first sentence is already to kill himself, but he wants to be a bitch and set up a torii, deliberately putting the responsibility on his head, as if he has to know their identity, It was like killing himself, of course, even if he didn't reveal murderous aura in and out of his words, the secrets revealed in his words alone were enough to kill himself ten times, thinking about this clearly, a heart instantly fell into the abyss, but soon cheered up again, and began to think hard about how to save himself.

The current situation, though critical, has not yet reached the most dangerous step, and although it is obscure, it is also very clear, as long as they do not take out the painting, they will definitely not use the knife to kill. In other words, there is still a lot of room for manoeuvre and a chance to save oneself before the painting is finally handed over.

Li Rui's mind was racing, and he had a plan in an instant: "Now in the high-speed car, there are people on the left and right sides with knives to coerce, I must not fight, it is better to show weakness, confuse them, let them relax their vigilance, and when I return to Qingyang's house, they are bound to let me get out of the car, otherwise I will not be able to enter the house to get paintings, and I will have a lot of opportunities to use at that time." ”

"Damn, it turned out that Kang Chengfu did it, I wiped his grandma, he actually betrayed me, damn, wait for this to be over, see how I clean him up!"

Li Rui shouted angrily, with a look of resentment.

The Humpty Dumpty man heard him say, "When this is over, see how I clean him up", obviously believing his own words, he really thought that if he handed over the painting honestly, he would let him go, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, and glanced at the accomplice on Li Rui's left, and a cruel smile appeared on both of their faces at the same time.

Humpty Dumpty laughed and said, "I have to clean him up." Don't worry, we'll bring you back on the way back, and you go to Kang Chengfu again, we don't care how you clean him up, haha. ”

Li Rui pretended to be scared and said, "No, you don't need to take me with you on the return trip, I ...... I'm really afraid that the big brothers are very scared. As long as you can talk, I'll hand over the painting, and you can let me go. ”

The Humpty Dumpty man put away his smile and said seriously: "As long as you are honest and obedient, then you can say anything." ”

Li Rui secretly said in his heart, yes, it's easy to say anything, and it's easy to say if you kill me, he still smiled on his face, and said: "Then I'll rest assured, in fact, as myself, I didn't take that painting to heart at all, you may have heard Kang Chengfu say that the painting is not Wen Xing's own painting at all, but his daughter painted it and printed his seal, so although it is nominally worth tens of millions, in my eyes, it is three thousand yuan, because I bought it for three thousand yuan." If you want to take it, I don't feel distressed at all, so you don't have to dance with knives and guns, hurt and angry, hehe. ”

The Humpty Dumpty man had already turned around, and when he heard this, he turned back to look at him, and said strangely, "What are you talking about?" We don't know about this, can you tell me more about it?"

Li Rui told him how he bought "The Old Temple in the Mountains" and the secrets behind this painting.

Humpty Dumpty couldn't believe his ears, and squinted his eyes and asked, "Really, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Li Rui raised his hand and said, "I can swear, if I lie to you, I will let you stab you to death immediately." Of course, you can also call Kang Chengfu and ask him if this is the case. If not, you'll stab me to death right away. ”

When Humpty Dumpty saw that he dared to say this, it was estimated to be true, and said stupidly: "Kang Chengfu's old rabbit cub didn't mention this to us, according to what you say, since it wasn't painted by that great painter, can it still be worth 40 million?"

Li Rui said: "There should be no problem, the painting of the Wen girl has reached the point of being fake, not to mention the seal of Wenxing's early days, and the appraisal of Professor Liu Shiqi of the School of Art of Shannan University, it is definitely worth it." ”

The Humpty Dumpty man thought in his heart, if the painting was really bought for 3,000 yuan, and the surname Li really didn't care about it at all, then he had to think about it, whether to kill him or not, after all, it was better not to kill or not to kill, maybe one day something went wrong and he was arrested by the police, there was a murder case and no murder case, but there are completely two endings, who can live and want to die?

Thinking so, the younger brother who was driving also gave him a look, signaling him to reconsider whether to kill Li Rui and kill him.

The Humpty Dumpty man understood and asked Li Rui, "Is it really bought for 3,000 yuan?"

Li Rui nodded again and again: "Is that still wrong? And it was reimbursed by the city government, and I didn't spend a penny." If you want it, I'll just give it to you, there's no need for this, it's too scary, hehe. ”

Humpty Dumpty was still unsure, and asked, "We took your painting, if it really sells for 40 million, don't you feel sorry at all?"

Li Rui laughed and said: "Then what am I distressed about? Not to mention selling 40 million, even if it is selling 400 million, I don't have any idea at all." I am in the officialdom, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't lack money to spend, and I will be promoted in the future, and I don't need money, so I never take money to heart. Even if you sell 40 million yuan, remember my favor, and give me one or two million in benefits, I don't dare to accept it, why? Because I'm afraid of being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. After speaking, he smiled and said: "It turns out that you want that painting, I said it earlier, I just gave it to you directly, why are you like this, hehe, isn't it good for everyone to make friends?"

Humpty Dumpty was moved by what he said, and instructed the driver's younger brother: "Find a place to stop when you get on the highway, I'll pee and pee!"

The little brother understood what he meant, and nodded in agreement.

Ten minutes later, the Ford SUV pulled into the highway to Qingyang, drove five kilometers on the road, and stopped in the emergency lane. The driver turned on the double flash, got out of the car with Humpty Dumpty, left and right, and went to the side of the road to urinate.

The two of them stood in front of the high-speed railing, slowly tying their pants, and Humpty Dumpty took the opportunity to say, "If it is as he says, let's not kill him." ”
