Chapter 57: Theft Notice
The cold wind at night blew through the street outside the Bai family's villa, and the ghost trembled slightly under the street lamp, as if the small wind blew the entire street lamp to shake. There were no cars on the streets, not even a single person walking by.
Probably because this is the boundary of the Bai family, ordinary people will not come here, but it is better to say that the boundary of the Bai family is still a long distance from the center of Chengguang City. It's not that pedestrians won't come, it's that they don't want to come because they feel too far away.
Of course, such people only exist as ordinary residents of Chengguang City, and people with a little status in Chengguang City are eager to come here, looking forward to seeing the "twin mirrors" in Bai Qianfeng's many collections. Among them are Robert, who died in the Condors case, and Yang Zixuan's uncle, Lin Zipei, who has died.
But there are no people here at the moment, more because the night is already late.
In the Bai family's villa, the clock in the house has passed twelve o'clock, and most of the rooms in the villa have turned off the lights. Only in a house near a tall tree still has this faint light.
Tonight's night is a little cold, and I think it's also true, after a few rains in the middle of summer, Chengguang City ushered in the last season of the ice and snow world, and there are not many leaves on the few trees in the villa garden. Some trees have not completely lost their leaves, but only some old yellowing leaves remain on them. It's hard to see a few green leaves, during the day, let alone at night.
Perhaps trying to express the depth of the night more obviously, the wind outside the window slowly grew larger when the clock crossed the twelve o'clock position, rolling up the yellowed fallen leaves on the ground, and under the light of the street lamp, the fallen leaves in front of them flew in the air, mixed with the fallen leaves that had just been blown off the trees, and they merged together under the impetus of the wind, and together in the background of the night sky, under the illumination of the street lamps, they composed a new dance.
The sudden wind will not close the window, and at this time there will be a "clang" sound.
Probably the wind outside the window had already blown in through the unclosed window, and in the villa, on the desk, a middle-aged man with a lamp and a fur coat put down the pen in his hand. He tightened his shirt tightly, then got up and walked towards the window.
Standing in front of the window, he sluggish for a moment and stayed in front of the window for a while, probably because he had been at his desk before, wanting to breathe fresh air by the wind blowing in. He looked out the window at the scenery, which changed and changed throughout the four seasons. I don't know how many more years I'll be able to see such a landscape.
Bai Qianfeng stood in front of the window and couldn't help but sigh, he had lived for most of his life, and he had been working hard for things in the business world. However, there are some things that weigh on him, and he can't change them in his life.
"Alas!"
He took a breath of talk, knowing that although he had already suppressed those things with money, he also knew that in this era, you can't do whatever you want if you have money. The things he did would still be discovered sooner or later, but he just hoped that this day would come later.
"Whoa—"
On the window, the bird that Ichiyuki had stayed for an unknown amount of time suddenly flew away, startling Bai Qianfeng. Maybe it's because I'm too nervous now, and not just because of some things before.
Maybe it's mainly because he will start his own collection art exhibition tomorrow, Bai Qianfeng will hold such an exhibition every year, the purpose is to use part of his collection for auction, and then use the money obtained from the auction to buy some other collections. It's a habit of his.
It's just that tomorrow's auction will be different from the past, because my business has not been very smooth recently, and there has been a lawsuit before, and the business transaction will inevitably be affected.
In order to attract more people to his villa to participate in this collection art exhibition, Bai Qianfeng specially announced that he would display his most precious collection "Twin Mirrors" for the first time in this collection art exhibition! Sure enough, after this message was sent, I instantly got thousands of replies under my own communication website. There are many people who claim that they must come and see the "twin mirrors" with their own eyes!
But since just now, I have felt a wave of uneasiness in my heart, I don't know what the reason is, maybe I was scared by the bird just now. It's also strange, it's already late autumn, and most of the birds here have already flown towards the south, but there is still one lone left.
Then Bai Qianfeng closed the window, and then slowly walked back to the position of his desk, just now he was still calculating the last account in the company, but he was interrupted by the "clanging" window, and he walked away halfway. After standing by the window for a while, when I walked into the study, I couldn't help but feel a burst of heat coming towards me.
He returned to his seat, picked up the pen, and wanted to continue his work, when the sound of pushing the door behind him suddenly caused ripples in Bai Qianfeng's heart.
Bai Qianfeng didn't put down the pen in his hand and looked at the door of the study behind him.
Pushing the door open was a woman in a blue nightgown, her long hair tied up and drooping naturally at the back of her head, probably reaching the back of her waist. Although the original heavy makeup has been removed on the face, under the delicate facial features, the girl's appearance is slim under the faint light. The nose is high and erect, and the long eyelashes on the bright eyes are like a mist of water, giving a sense of mystery. The two eyebrows above the eyes are curved like two scimitars.
She was dressed in a cyan silk dressing gown wrapped around her body, maybe the woman was not used to sleeping with clothes, she didn't have too much clothes inside, only a blue nightgown outside.
"Dad! Why don't you sleep yet? ”
The woman stepped forward with light steps and stood behind the chair where Bai Qianfeng was sitting.
Bai Qianfeng turned around and looked at the woman in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be his daughter, over the years, there are too many people who want to think about the "twin mirror", how many times he has been awakened in a dream, and he has received more than one letter of intimidation, he once even doubted whether it was right or wrong for him to buy the twin mirror and collect it back.
"Linglong? How did you get here? ”
Bai Qianfeng looked at his daughter Bai Linglong with a puzzled face. At this point in time, Bai Linglong should be sleeping in her room.
"I heard the study window all the time, and thought you forgot to close the window, so come and see close the window."
"Oh, it's okay, when the wind picked up just now, I stood in front of the window to breathe, it's okay to go back to sleep."
"Dad, are you really okay? Is it because of tomorrow's collection art exhibition? ”
Bai Linglong looked at Bai Qianfeng in front of him, although he said so, the uneasiness on his face betrayed him. As his daughter, he also knows that Bai Qianfeng usually offends many people in the business world, after all, there is no treachery or business, and the final consequences in the shopping mall are often more serious than the consequences caused by his direct person. Over the years, the Bai family's business has become increasingly prosperous, and it is inevitable that people will be cornered behind it.
In addition, four years ago, Bai Qianfeng got what everyone called the mysterious "Twin Mirror", which made Bai Qianfeng even more nervous, on the one hand, he couldn't guess the secrets in the Twin Mirror, and on the other hand, he was worried that the Twin Mirror would be stolen day and night.
In addition, at tomorrow's collection art exhibition, it will be announced that the twin mirrors will be displayed for the first time. It wouldn't have been possible if he hadn't been nervous.
Bai Linglong stepped forward, put her hands on Bai Qianfeng's shoulders, and gently pinched them.
"Dad, relax, it's been all over the years, it's going to be fine, don't think about the things of the first few months anymore, it's all pressed down anyway, isn't it?"
"Okay, I know, Linglong, go to sleep, Dad will go to rest in a while."
Bai Qianfeng took Linglong's hand off his shoulder.
"Uh-huh, then I'll go back."
After Bai Linglong went back and walked out of the study, Bai Qianfeng lowered his head and was silent, and the helplessness in his heart was completely written on his face. He took out the note he had been holding in his hand and placed it on his desk.
When Fang went to close the window himself, he sandwiched this note in the gap between the window edges. After returning to her seat just now, Linglong entered the study, in order not to involve Linglong, she didn't tell her about it, maybe this is the reason why Bai Qianfeng is really nervous.
Small notes spread flat on top of the desk. The few words on the paper jumped into Bai Qianfeng's eyes one by one:
"Mr. Bai, tomorrow at the Collected Art Exhibition, I will take away your twin mirrors!"
After reading this, Bai Qianfeng realized that maybe he shouldn't have held the "twin mirror" at all to try to attract more people. Or, four years ago, I shouldn't have bought it at all. This antiquity has indeed brought itself a lot of business partners in the past four years, and it has made a lot of profits. But at the same time, the price to pay is not small. In the past four years, I have not been able to sleep a single day, for fear that this antiquity will be stolen. The whole day was spent in fear.
The most important thing is that I also have a daughter, so I am afraid that my daughter will also be affected.
Thinking about such a note notice, it is not the first time that Bai Qianfeng has received it, but almost every time the twin mirrors are placed firmly in place and have never been moved. But tomorrow is different, tomorrow is the first time I said that I would take out the "twin mirror" at the art exhibition for everyone to feast their eyes, and at this time, I received a notice of theft.
To be on the safe side, Bai Qianfeng decided to call the police of the Chengguang City Public Security Bureau and ask for their help.
He took out his mobile phone from his drawer and dialed a mobile phone number he had saved before, and a familiar voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello?"
"Director Bai, I'm Bai Qianfeng, I want your help with something......
【Bai Family Villa, Bai Linglong Room】
After Bai Linglong returned to the room, she didn't turn on the light, and walked directly to her bedside, she faded the cyan silk nightgown on her body, and the perfect body lines were presented in the moonlight, and the seductive body turned into a light and shadow in the background in front of the window into a beautiful dance. The pouring moonlight hit her body, and the smooth skin showed a silky fragrance under the moon. Bai Linglong was naked near the window, as if enjoying the last bit of moonlight, she slowly closed the curtains, the beautiful moonlight disappeared little by little on her body, and in a blink of an eye, there was only a figure with a bewitching curve left in the room.
She climbed into bed alone, covered with a silky quilt, and enjoyed a soft night's sleep, waiting for her unforgettable day to come!
