When Xingshu and He Chenxue saw the peerless painting of Chen Wenjing in the independent personal warehouse of the auction house, they were both stunned, it should be said that from the moment the outer protective layer was slowly uncovered, the two of them smelled a fresh floral fragrance, but when they smelled it carefully, it seemed that the fragrance was divided into several stages like perfume, with the first taste, the middle taste and the aftertaste, and then repeated like this, and Chen Daxu's painting did not have these at all.

After the supervisor and the staff opened the package, the supervisor said in a low voice: "Actually, we also want to open it again, when Mr. Qi sent it last time, everyone present was stunned, and they all wanted to see it with their own eyes again, no, it should be said that I smelled it, I have been in this line of work for so many years, and I have never encountered such a painting, I take the liberty of asking, I don't know if Mr. Xing intends to auction this painting now?" Let's put it this way, the reserve price is definitely higher than you expected. ”

Xingshu looked at the peerless painting that had been placed on the easel: "You also asked Qi Baye this before, his answer is my answer, thank you." ”

With a look of regret on his face, the supervisor led the staff away, then closed the door, called the security guard of the auction house to guard the door, and told them not to leave the door until the guests had left, because the value of the painting was not even known to the senior appraiser here.

After He Chenxue approached, she sniffed softly: "The flowers in the painting are not only lifelike, but also can exude fragrance, which is simply a strange thing." If it was just a freshly painted incense, but after decades, it is still so fragrant, and I really don't know how to do it. ”

Torture looked at the painting, didn't speak, just stood there and watched.

He Chenxue walked around the painting again and again, constantly sighing.

After a long time, Xingshu said: "I can't take this painting away, I must stay here, the security measures here are complete, the temperature is suitable, it is a good place, more than a thousand times better than my pawnshop." ”

He Chenxue said strangely: "Aren't you going to investigate carefully?" ”

"I don't know where to start." Xing Shu shook his head, "This painting is ingenious, I'm worried about what it will destroy, but I think there should be some connection between this Chen Wenjing's painting and that Chen Daxu's painting, according to the facts found in the diary of the underground Russians before, as well as what that person said, it can be judged that Chen Wenjing and Chen Daxu should both know Xing Renju, and all this was arranged by Xing Renju." ”

When the torture technique said this, He Chenxue looked at him and asked, "Who is that person, that person underground?" Is it the weirdo I once saw in my home? ”

Torture nodded: "Yes, but I don't know much, I have to go down and ask what happened." ”

He Chenxue shook her head: "What did my parents say?" What about Uncle Fan and Uncle Ding? Today they were discussing something at my house, and they all quarreled. ”

Torture shook his head: "I don't know, no matter what they say, I have to go down." ”

As he spoke, he called the supervisor and the staff in, packed the painting and put it away, and left with He Chenxue. When he walked out of the auction house, He Chenxue's mobile phone text message rang constantly, and He Chenxue took the mobile phone from his bag and said: "Torture, no matter what, you are now Uncle Fan's godson, and you are also half of the Jade Casting Society, I think, they shouldn't stop ......"

When she said this, He Chenxue saw clearly that the bunch of text messages on her mobile phone were all sent from Ai Xingling's mobile phone dozens of minutes ago, because the signal was blocked in the warehouse where the paintings were stored, so she received them all in one breath after leaving the warehouse.

Seeing He Chenxue staring at his phone, he didn't finish his words, and immediately asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

He Chenxue looked at the last few messages on her mobile phone and was speechless for a long time.

It was not easy for the torture technique to get close to look at her mobile phone, but seeing that He Chenxue's face was obviously wrong, she asked again, "What's wrong?" ”

"I have an urgent need to go home." He Chenxue didn't explain it, turned around and waved to call a taxi.

Torture stepped forward and said, "I'll drive you, this way, it's faster." ”

He Chenxue didn't even look at the face of the torture technique: "No, no need, I'll take a taxi back by myself, there is something at home, housework." ”

While speaking, the taxi had stopped, He Chenxue immediately opened the door and got into the car, and the torture technique grabbed the car door that He Chenxue was about to close: "Pay attention to safety, come home and have news." ”

He Chenxue just nodded, and while telling the taxi master the address of his home, he closed the door, and did not look at the torture technique from beginning to end.

After the taxi drove away from the street, He Chenxue picked up her mobile phone, adjusted her breathing, and looked at the text sent by Ai Xingling on it: [Fan Meng is back. ]

How is this possible? He Chenxue's heart was beating extremely fast, and her mind was in chaos.

Xingshu, who was still standing on the side of the road, looked at the taxi in the distance, although he didn't know what text message He Chenxue received, it must not be a good thing, otherwise He Chenxue's face and behavior would not have changed so much.

Xingshu returned to his car, just started the car, the phone rang, he looked at the unfamiliar caller ID, just picked it up, and heard He Fenglei's voice on the other end of the phone: "Xingshu, I want to see you, within half an hour, you rush to the parking lot of Sun Island Park, I will wait for you there." ”

Before Xingshu could say anything, He Fenglei hung up the phone, Xingshu didn't know what was going on, but his intuition told him that it should have something to do with the text message He Chenxue received earlier, no matter what, go first and talk about it.

Because it was not the morning and evening rush hour, the torture technique rushed to the parking lot of Sun Island Park after twenty minutes, and as soon as he stopped, He Fenglei's taxi stopped in front of him, He Fenglei looked at him and said, "Get in the car!" ”

Xingshu hesitated, originally wanted to sit in the co-pilot, but finally chose to sit in the back seat.

He Fenglei drove in the direction of Limin District, and drove on Jiangbei Avenue for a long time before he spoke: "Criminal art, I'll ask you straight to the point, do you like my daughter?" ”

The torturer was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect He Fenglei to ask like this, at this time, He Fenglei parked the car in front of the zebra crossing and waited for the red light, and turned around to look at him.

"Uncle He, what do you mean by that?" ”

He Fenglei said expressionlessly: "You just answer me, yes or no?" ”

Xingshu hesitated for a moment and nodded, He Fenglei still looked at him: "What does nodding mean?" I want to hear you say it, not watch you make movements, only monkeys who can't speak are represented by actions! ”

"Yes!" After the torture was finished, he said, "Uncle Danhe, I just like this one-sidedly, I have never told Chenxue, she and I are just ordinary friends now, and I will not do anything to hurt Chenxue." ”

After the torture was finished, he wanted to slap himself, because he didn't know what he wanted to say.

The green light turned on, He Fenglei stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive forward, the speed was fast, constantly changing lanes to overtake, and from time to time he would glance at the torture behind him from the rearview mirror in the car, which made the torture feel uncomfortable.

When He Fenglei's car was about to drive towards the overpass, he originally wanted to go to the direction of Limin District, but suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned towards the highway in the direction of Daqing.

He Fenglei drove into the highway, drove rapidly on the highway, and after driving for another half an hour, he parked the car on the side of the road, then got out of the car and peed, lit a cigarette, and stood there looking at the plains where the snow had not melted in the distance.

Xingshu stepped forward and asked, "Uncle He, what is the reason why you are looking for me today?" Am I doing something wrong? ”

"I can see that Chenxue likes you too." He Fenglei said lightly, "You should know too, right?" You're not stupid, and don't play stupid with me. ”

The torturer was silent, didn't know what to say, just stood by the side.

He Fenglei turned his head and looked at the torture technique: "The morning snow is not small, the girl is not staying, if you are happy with each other, let's get engaged first, I know that you were adopted, let your adoptive father come forward, our two families will have a kiss, have a meal, if you wait for nothing, buy the ring or something." ”

The torture technique is completely stupid, I don't know what He Fenglei is doing? Before, he had always been very opposed to He Chenxue's dealings with him, and he was also opposed to his meddling in the affairs of the Jade Casting Society, what was wrong today? Suddenly, not to mention the 180-degree change, they all raised the topic to talk about marriage.

He Fenglei said again: "I know you have money, I'm not worried about this, you look very energetic, although you can't compare to my idol Andy Lau, but it's also a talent, even if you don't have so much cash in your hands now, it doesn't matter, I don't want any bride price, I have ready-made houses and cars, and my mother and I like to be quiet, the wedding banquet or something can be exempted, it's too troublesome, we don't want to charge any gift money, you two take the certificate to do things and go on a trip, isn't this popular among young people now?" ”

The torture technique was foggy, and it took a long time to ask: "Uncle He, is this ...... How can it be so sudden? And Chenxue and I haven't pierced the window paper now, we haven't confessed to each other, and our relationship can't reach the point of getting married. ”

He Fenglei looked at the torture technique and said coldly: "If you can't reach it, then hurry up and find a way to achieve it, if you can't think of a way, I'll find someone else, no matter how late, Chenxue won't be yours." ”

Xingshu frowned: "Uncle He, what are you talking about, I don't understand at all. ”

He Fenglei threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, rubbed it vigorously with the sole of his shoe, and then said, "Fan Meng is back!" ”

The moment the words spoke, the torturer felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

How can someone who is already dead come back?

"Isn't he dead?" He Chenxue, who returned home, opened the door of the house, and after seeing Ai Xingling, she immediately asked her doubts, and said that if Ai Xingling did not answer, she would not enter the house.

Ai Xingling frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, the four of us were sitting here before, and your Uncle Fan's phone rang suddenly, and then we all heard it, and it was Fan Meng's voice on the other end of the phone, he came back, really came back." ”

He Chenxue stood there, as if she had lost her soul, and then turned around and ran towards the door, Ai Xingling ran fast, He Chenxue suddenly stopped, turned her head and panted and said, "Mom, don't follow me, I'm just going to Uncle Fan's house, don't come with me, okay?" ”

Ai Xingling knew He Chenxue's stubbornness, and even more aware of her seriousness, so she had to nod and say softly, "You pay attention to safety." ”

He Chenxue nodded, slowed down, and walked towards the outside of the villa area.

Ai Xingling stood there and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed He Fenglei.

On the other end, He Fenglei, who was walking back, received a call from Ai Xingling, glanced at the torture technique in the rearview mirror who was still in a daze and said, "I'll send you to Fan Junyi's house now, and Chenxue has also rushed over." ”

"What am I going to do? Square peg! The torture technique immediately refused.

He Fenglei said coldly: "What are you going to do?" First, help you snatch back your daughter-in-law who didn't pass the door, and second, help your father-in-law bring his daughter-in-law back! ”

The torture technique was anxious: "Uncle He, this is not appropriate!" ”

He Fenglei braked the car and stopped: "What's appropriate?" ”

At this time, the car behind the highway slowed down and overtook from the right lane, and after the window opened, he cursed He Fenglei for this dangerous driving behavior, but He Fenglei turned a deaf ear.

"Torture, listen, when Fan Meng comes back, Fan Junyi will definitely let the previous marriage contract continue, in that case, he will have a chance to contain me and my wife." He Fenglei looked ahead, "But if you go, it doesn't matter, you are his godson after all, and Chenxue marrying you is not a violation of the marriage contract, it can be regarded as marrying his son." ”

The torture technique probably understood: "Uncle He, I don't want to get involved in the matter between you, and I don't want to decide the fate of me, Fan Meng, and Chenxue because of this. ”

He Fenglei put back on the road: "Really? Then why did you accept the investigation into the thieves in the Jade Casting Society in the first place? Why didn't you tell us after the investigation was clear, but just found Fan Junyi? It's obviously a simple thing, you complicate it, you have to be responsible, it's as simple as that, so, it's not up to you to decide whether to go or not, now, what you need to do is, sit down, fasten your seatbelt, and shut up! ”

He didn't know what to say, he knew He Fenglei's irritable temper, and if he continued to argue, he couldn't tell what He Fenglei would do, and it was now at high speed.

At the same time that He Fenglei rushed to Fan Jun's family with torture techniques, He Chenxue had already arrived outside Fan Junyi's villa, standing outside the fence with a small telescope, his eyes jumped over the garden, and looked at the dining room on the first floor, unkempt hair, dressed like a migrant worker, in Fan Meng, who was gobbling up food, and Fan Junyi sat on the side with a tearful smile and watched, constantly serving him vegetables, telling him to eat slowly, don't choke.

The small telescope in He Chenxue's hand was given by Fan Meng before, and after Fan Meng was declared dead, she never took it out and used it again, although she always carried it in her bag.

Although Fan Meng has become like that, He Chenxue can still recognize it, that is Fan Meng, it will not be someone else, and it can't be someone else, it's just, what should I do now?

A few years have passed, even if it is not possible to say that things are wrong, He Chenxue thinks that he has gradually let go of Fan Meng and the relationship with Fan Meng, especially after encountering torture. Why did he suddenly come back when he was just a little eyebrow with the torture technique, is this providence? Or is it that Fan Meng is the one who is really destined for him.

He Chenxue stood there in a daze, at this time, Fan Meng, who was immersed in eating, realized that there was someone outside, turned his head, and saw He Chenxue outside the fence, he was stunned at first, and then showed a smile, and then he realized that He Chenxue couldn't see so far, so he got up, opened the glass door, stood there and raised his hand and waved it gently, and said loudly: "Chenxue!" ”

Fan Meng's shout made He Chenxue shake, and also made her realize that everything she saw in front of her was real, not that she was dreaming, let alone an illusion in her brain, and she also subconsciously raised her hand and waved.

Fan Jun nodded there with a pipe in his mouth, smiling, indescribably happy.

Fan Meng rushed to the door, didn't even wear shoes, rushed out directly, went around to the fence outside the garden, stepped forward and hugged He Chenxue, hugged him tightly, and said in a low voice: "I miss you so much." ”

He Chenxue was hugged by Fan Meng like that, she didn't know what to say, she didn't know if she should say something, and what she didn't know was that at the corner of the community garden in the distance, He Fenglei was hurrying towards him with the torture technique.

When he walked to the corner, he raised his eyes and saw this scene, he stopped almost at the same time as He Fenglei, and then he subconsciously took a few steps back, stood on the other side of the corner, stood so stupidly, and dragged He Fenglei who was still standing there.

He Fenglei also slowly retreated, and said in a low voice: "It's late." ”

Then, He Fenglei turned his head to look at the torture technique, and the torture technique immediately squeezed out a smile and said, "Isn't this good?" ”

"Mentally retarded!" He Fenglei scolded, turned around and left, "Smile strongly, there are times when you regret it." ”

The torture technique was ready to step forward, endured it, turned around and followed He Fenglei away.

Outside the fence, Fan Meng, who was holding He Chenxue, had already seen He Fenglei and the torture technique, he recognized He Fenglei, but he didn't know the torture technique, so he had to let go of He Chenxue and said: "Just now, I seem to have seen Uncle He, and there is a man, but I don't know him, is Uncle He also here?" ”

He Chenxue stood there and didn't speak, she didn't need to look, she didn't need to ask, she didn't need to speculate on the details at all, she knew that the person in Fan Meng's mouth was torture.

"Let's go inside, it's cold outside, and you haven't put on your shoes yet." He Chenxue said softly.

"Hmm!" Fan Meng nodded with a smile, took He Chenxue's hand and left.

Outside the villa area, He Fenglei had already returned to the taxi, and Xingshu walked to the window, bowed his head and said, "Uncle He, I still have something to do." ”

He Fenglei looked at the torture technique: "Go drink?" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "No, what kind of wine do I drink, I have something to do, I'll take a taxi back to the parking lot later, and I still have to deal with some unfinished things in the previous case." ”

He Fenglei nodded: "Don't think about it." ”

Xingshu smiled and nodded, waved goodbye to He Fenglei, and then stood there looking left and right, standing for a long time, and then walked towards the intersection in front, because the odds of taking a taxi in this area are about the same as picking up a wallet on the road.

Suddenly, all of a sudden, he was a little overwhelmed, and he began to look through his phone, checking the phone number, always thinking that he should call someone, or send a text message, or else see what he had to do on his unfinished business.

But in the end, the torture technique didn't even know what he was doing, so he had to walk aimlessly forward.
