"Boss Lu...... Familiar with the painting? ”

Brother Mazi's voice was right behind me.

It's like the voice on the phone before, calm, but a little gloomy.

"Brother Mazi, it's really familiar." I say.

"Boss Lu is really human, so I won't have to go around in circles." Brother Mazi seemed to relax and laughed, "I also want to ask Boss Lu for a favor......

"Brother Mazi, I'm here to pay for the ransom ......"

"Before I could say anything, you started rejecting me......"

He laughed twice.

"How can you make friends with this kind of business? Besides, Boss Lu, don't you dare to say the word "ransom", the sin is too great, and it's not a kidnapping......"

I jerked my head back and met him in the eyes.

If the look in his eyes just now was still a kind middle-aged businessman, then at this moment, the gloomy gaze made me clearly realize that he was the boss of an underworld.

"Brother Mazi, I have indeed been ...... for many years"

He raised his hand to stop me from going on.

"It's also simple, I'm a businessman, and I pay attention to harmony and make money." He said, "Either you obediently do my job, or I'll leave your wife behind to make money......"

"Making money? What do you mean? ”

"What do you mean? Fatty, give Boss Lu a look. He motioned to the fat man.

The fat man nodded, picked up a remote control from the bookshelf next to him, and pressed the button.

On the monitoring screen, the black lattices that were originally next to them suddenly lit up three or four.

My eyes widened.

It's all one room at a time.

The layout is similar to the room where Chen Yiyao is kept, with a simple bed, sofa, and side table.

The difference is that there are people in those beds.

The naked body slipped and entangled.

A fire ignited in my heart all of a sudden, and it rushed to my head.

It's a kiln???

it! What does it mean to put Chen Yiyao in that kind of room???

"Brother Mazi, this is a bit inappropriate." I suppressed the unhappiness and uneasiness in my heart and whispered.

"Yes, I also think it's inappropriate, I'm not in harmony, how can I make money......" He also shook his head, "My need is also very simple, that is, let you help, you see, I didn't even mention the matter of 500,000 yuan, I have shown sincerity, how about you give me some face, right, Boss Lu?" ”

My heart was beating violently.

The painting behind me seemed to have life, and it was about to envelop me with teeth and claws.

Ren Bonian's waterfowl picture.

Five years ago, an art auction company called Chiyi hosted an auction in the industry.

This picture of a water bird was auctioned for 1 million.

This price, in the whole auction, did not have much attention.

But only a handful of people know that this is a fake.

Including me.

Because, this fake, I painted it.

It's a bureau.

I'm one of the insiders.

The domestic art trading market is actually very chaotic.

There are many rich people, but few people who know how to do it.

Although there are art appraisal companies such as Chiyi, as well as expert certification.

But it's the people who are in charge of the appraisal, and so are the experts.

As long as you are human, you will definitely have weaknesses and weaknesses.

If you grasp the weakness and open up the link of art identification, then the fake works will be put up for auction in a steady stream.

Whether it's money laundering, gift-giving, or face-saving.

Even if it's a real collection, there are works that are suitable for a real collection.

True and false, in short, there is a market.

And Brother Mazi wants to find me, so it's not as simple as painting a fake.

I didn't know exactly what it was for, but my gut told me not to say yes.

"I want to see my wife." I say.

"If you want to see, just look at the screen." Brother Ma Zi said.

"No, bring it here, in front of me." I insisted.

The grim gaze stared at me for a few moments, and the smile piled up on his face again.

"No problem, Redhair, bring someone over."

The thin, red-haired man said yes and went out.

After waiting for four or five minutes, Brother Mazi and I didn't say a word.

The room was very quiet, only the scenes on the screen, which made me anxious.

I can't wait to take Chen Yiyao away from this place of right and wrong.

There was the sound of footsteps going upstairs, getting closer.

The door was pushed open suddenly, and Chen Yiyao cautiously stepped in.

"Ah Chen!" At the first sight of me, she was a little excited and ran straight to me.

"Don't go over!" Redfur shouted.

Chen Yiyao moved quickly, and the red hair behind him reached out to grab her arm, but I also met it, grabbed Chen Yiyao's hand, and pulled her behind me.

"!" The red fur grabbed the air, and rushed up two steps to arrest someone behind me.

Where am I willing to give him this opportunity?

I slapped his chest against him, my hips sank, and my shoulders pushed him back at once.

"Huh?" The red hair was stunned for a moment and glanced at Brother Mazi.

Brother Mazi didn't react, just a smile on his face.

Not responding is acquiescence.

The red-haired gaze instantly became fierce: "Damn-" He rushed up with a step, his left arm rotated inward, and a punch struck out in a straight line, and then his right fist slammed up from the bottom up.

Standard boxing moves.

Behind me is Chen Yiyao, and I can't dodge at all.

I reacted almost instantaneously, raising my elbows and knees, thumping twice, elbows blocking his sharp punches, kicking him back.

"Nima!" The red fur patted his chest and pulled a dagger from his waist.

My heart sank, and my heart said badly.

"Redhair, it's okay!"

At the critical moment, Brother Ma Zi stopped his next move.

The red-haired stared at me viciously, unwillingly inserted the dagger back into his waist, looking at me as if he was going to kill me at any moment.

I was scared in my heart, just now it was purely to block the other party from arresting Chen Yiyao, otherwise, I would not have made such an impulsive move.

This is good, but if you don't obey this level, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass.

"Boss Lu, Lian Jiazi? It's a sight to behold......"

Brother Mazi clapped his palms with a smile.

Chen Yiyao reached out behind my back and held my hand.

Ten fingers interlocked, I feel a lot more settled.

"Brother Mazi, I am an art businessman, Xu Dapeng's usury has nothing to do with me, but today I will take out 500,000 yuan to avoid disasters."

I took out my bank card from my pocket, "Brother Mazi, your business is prosperous, don't be like me as a little person, let us go." ”

"You still have to tie the bell to unlock the bell, Boss Lu."

Brother Mazi said leisurely.

"At the beginning, Xu Dapeng carried me behind my back to make small moves, and he lost a lot of money by Lao Wu, and as a result, he tied up Lao Wu's daughters. This thing, it's not very authentic, but Xu Dapeng went to prison, and you and Li Anbang contributed the most, right? This grandson has no remorse in prison, so I won't keep him, but you have to be responsible for my loss......"

My heart was in turmoil.

Xu Dapeng's death was arranged by Brother Mazi?
