Chapter 296: The tragedy returns
"What do you mean by regret?" Lan Li asked stupidly, compared with herself in Duanmuxi, Lan Li always has a feeling that she is in Cheng Yan's heart, and the weight will never be as good as Duanmuxi, this is not hypocrisy, but human nature, sixteen years of feelings, how can it be changed overnight, but understanding does not mean recognition, especially since she is Cheng Yan's girlfriend.
"Stupid woman, you don't have to worry if I speak more thoroughly, right?" Cheng Yan knocked Lan Li's head angrily, "At that time, I always thought that she needed protection, but later I found out that there are many people who want to protect her, and she doesn't need my protection so much, the person I need to protect is this one in my arms." ”
"Say it again."
"Go buy a repeater!" Cheng Yan glanced at the Qingming Shanghe map on the stage, someone had already started to bid for the price, and the price was very high, because of the relationship between Lanli, he was also quite interested in this picture, but Duanmuxi wanted it, and he said that he would take it for nothing.
"Get out!" Lan Li was furious, lowered her head and bit Cheng Yan's arm.
At this time, the Qingming Shanghe map has been priced to 1.5 billion, obviously, this kind of everyone's painting, still preserved so completely, is simply a priceless treasure, no matter how much money is taken back to collect it will make people feel worthwhile, Cheng Yan picked up the number plate and shook it twice, the auctioneer immediately understood, and shouted: "The thirteenth bid 1.7 billion, and no one else bid?" ”
Lan Li almost squirted out of her saliva, "You are a loser, you actually spent so much money to buy a picture that you can't eat or drink, don't you owe a beating?" "This style of painting, what's the matter with becoming a shrew in a second?
"Who said that it was a priceless treasure, full of cultural atmosphere, who said that it was the quintessence of the country, and I would be satisfied if I could see it." Cheng Yan said speechlessly.
"yes, you know what that thing is called? You can only watch from a distance and not blaspheme, buying it home is simply blaspheming the quintessence of the country, you better forget it, anyway, I didn't feel the cultural breath in you, I felt a copper smell of businessmen. Lan Li waved her hand.
Who will strangle this goods, Cheng Yan had a black face, and he couldn't wait to drag Lan Li directly and throw it into the open sea, he is the president of the Cheng consortium, how many news newspapers have he been in, and he has been selected as one of the best entrepreneurs, but when he got to Lan Li's mouth, he became a businessman covered with copper smell.
Cheng Yanpi hugged Lan Li without smiling, hugged her into his arms vigorously, leaned into her ear, gritted his teeth and said, "Sometimes I really want to strangle you." ”
"Are you willing? Look at my current state, if you really do something, it will be one corpse and two lives, and when the time comes, I will not let you go when I become a ghost, hum. Lan Li pinched her cheeks, stuck out her tongue, and made a grimace.
It's easy to get hungry if you play for too long, especially Lan Li, who can now eat something that can be compared with a certain animal, and in less than two hours, she is hungry, Lan Li covered her stomach, and said coquettishly to Cheng Yan with a bitter face: "Ah Yan, your wife and children are hungry, what should I do?" ”
Cheng Yan reluctantly handed the number plate to Cheng Xiaoyue, "Sister, you help me shout the price, you must take a picture of the Qingming Riverside." Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyue heard and agreed, he put down his heart and took Lan Li's hand and left.
Cheng Xiaoyue sat on the sofa with an indifferent expression, with a decent smile on her face, and suddenly noticed that someone was looking towards her, she looked sideways, and saw Gao Mubai's eyes looking at her from a distance of a few rows, not shocked, and she couldn't see a trace of fluctuation in her eyes, just looking at her quietly.
Eyes met in the air, just for a moment, both of them quickly turned their heads, as if they didn't know strangers, the auction was still going on, there are a lot of people who like this kind of thing like Qingming Shanghe Tu, not to mention that they are sitting, there are indeed few people who are short of money, no, even if there is a lack of money, there is no shortage of money to auction a painting.
When Cheng Xiaoyue shouted the price code of 2.5 billion, basically no one shouted the price, only two or three were left, but it seemed that they were all in an inevitable posture, Cheng Xiaoyue observed, one of them was Duanmuxi, she didn't know the agreement between Cheng Yan and Duanmuxi, so she didn't understand, this was Duanmuxi deliberately shouting the price.
The other one is Huo Shuixian, her eyes flashed with excitement, every time Cheng Xiaoyue and Duanmuxi shouted the price, she would immediately increase the price in the back, her smile revealed her innocence, and the smiling face like a flower attracted the people around her to turn to look at her frequently.
When she met Gao Mubai, Cheng Xiaoyue went back and asked Cheng Fifteen to investigate Huo Shuixian's news, and almost easily investigated Huo Shuixian's identity, the only daughter of the Huo family in Sijiu City, a scholarly family, it is normal for her to like that painting, but what her brother wants, of course she will not give it away.
"Miss Cheng likes that painting very much, doesn't she? I like it too, I wonder if Miss Cheng can cut her love? After Duanmuxi also gave up shouting, Huo Shuixian took the initiative to come over and do the position that Lan Li had done before, and she showed a kind smile to Cheng Xiaoyue, but when Cheng Xiaoyue saw this smile, she felt that the smile was full of malice and falsehood.
"I'm sorry, I don't have the slightest interest in these things, but my brother wants me to take pictures, so I have to force people to do it." Cheng Xiaoyue said lightly, her intuition of danger is very keen, and almost in this smile, she can judge that Huo Shuixian is definitely not as simple as she appears on the surface.
"That's the case, it's a pity, then we'll have to keep bidding, because I'm not going to give up." Huo Shuixian covered his mouth and smiled, feeling a little like everyone smiling in ancient times, "Cheng Xiaoyue, it is said that you and Mu Bai are friends, but I have been engaged to Mu Bai for six years, why did I never know?" I think Mu Bai didn't tell me, because I was afraid that I would misunderstand your relationship. ”
I have been engaged to Mu Bai for six years! Been engaged for six years! It's been six years!
A sentence was like a sharp blade, stabbing into Cheng Xiaoyue's heart, for a moment, Cheng Xiaoyue suddenly didn't know what she was thinking, her brain was blank, she talked to Huo Shuixian with an instinctive smile, left the place with a smile, and kept a smile until the end.
"Very good, this Qingming Riverside Picture was finally obtained by Miss Huo No. 8, please applaud." The host let out an exclamation on the stage, accompanied by warm applause, Huo Shuixian got the Qingming Shanghe map, she looked in the direction where Cheng Xiaoyue left, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.
At this time, it stands to reason that there was one last thing to be displayed, but the lights of the entire hall suddenly turned on, and then the gunshots rang out from nowhere, and a bodyguard-like person rushed in covered in blood, shouting to everyone: "Oh no, there are robbers on the boat." ”
"Bang!" His voice was accompanied by a loud gunshot, and after the gunshot, the bodyguard fell straight to the ground.
"Ahh I don't know who shouted, and then the screams came and went, Lan Li, who was in the dining area, was rushed by the crowd running around, and almost fell, she held her stomach and ran cautiously towards the corridor, Cheng Yan went in that direction just now, saying that she heard a strange sound and wanted to see, she was very scared, but she was even more worried about Cheng Yan's comfort.
Pushing open the door, she saw a man in camouflage uniform on the ground, with a big hole in his back with a gun on his back, blood flowing, she had never seen so much blood, nor had she seen a dead person, she gasped for a while, and saw Cheng Yan standing in place with a gun, Lan Li finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, stepped forward and took Cheng Yan's hand and said, "Sister Xiaoyue is still in the middle of the hall, let's go find her." ”
Cheng Yan held the gun in his right hand, pulled Lan Li tightly with his left hand, and said solemnly: "You follow me closely, don't run around, I don't know how many people there are, if you find something wrong, you run first." ”
"Good!" Lan Li held Cheng Yan's hand tightly, her palms were full of sweat, she remembered, when she watched the news two days ago, it said that there have always been some bandits on the high seas recently, very fierce, and she wanted to ask Cheng Yan at that time, but she forgot about it because of a mistake.
There were constant gunshots and screams around, fortunately, there were many people with identity on the boat who brought a lot of bodyguards, and they all began to pick up various weapons to fight with the robbers, Lan Li and Cheng Yan walked outside the hall while looking for Cheng Xiaoyue's figure, she suddenly saw Gao Mubai hurrying in one direction, and following the line of sight, she saw Cheng Xiaoyue in the west of the venue.
"Sister Xiaoyue is over there, I saw Gao Mubai follow." Lan Li said.
"I see, let's go outside first." There were only a few bandits who rushed into the hall, and they were quickly resolved, but there were gunshots everywhere outside, but the hall was very empty, and it was not suitable for hiding at all, Cheng Yan was worried about the child in Lan Li's belly, Lan Li's appearance, it would take a lot of effort just to run fast, not to mention that there were bandits coming.
He remembered that there were many rest rooms on the west side of the hall, and he could find a room for Lan Li to hide, and he went to see what the situation was outside, Cheng Yan's idea was very good, but unfortunately it was too late, and the people who came and went in the hall pushed and shoved, and several times they almost pushed Lan Li to the ground.
When Cheng Yan and Lan Li approached the west, a group of five bandits rushed in from the gate on the south side of the hall, each wearing camouflage uniforms and masks, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but at this time, no one paid attention to their faces, because they all had guns in their hands, and they shot indiscriminately in the hall, and one of them jumped on the auction platform, got the Qingming Shanghe map on it, and immediately put it in his bag.
The screams mixed with the sound of crying came again, and at this time, a sharp scream was particularly clear, and the familiar sound made Cheng Yan tremble, and when he looked back, he saw Duanmuxi holding his foot and falling to the ground, his arm was dripping with blood, obviously his arm was unfortunately shot.
"Don't you want to know what happened six years ago? Those buried truths, believe me, you have no other way but to know from me. ”
This sentence was replayed in his mind, Cheng Yan frowned, he couldn't let Duanmuxi die here, at least, he still needed to start investigating the incident six years ago from Duanmuxi, although he wouldn't believe what Duanmuxi said, but he could start from Duanmuxi's side to investigate, he had a hunch that Duanmuxi must have been involved in a certain link in the matter of six years ago.
I just don't know if Duanmuxi was on Cheng Xiaoyue's side at that time, or on Ye Tianxiang's side, the balance was already tilted at this time, Cheng Yan pushed Lan Li away and said to her, "You go first!" Then, Cheng Yan resolutely turned around and ran in the direction of Duanmu Creek.
Sometimes things are so coincidental, Lan Li was pushed by Cheng Yan like this, and when she stumbled, she happened to be hit by a stray bullet that flew from nowhere, and the severe pain came, Lan Li fell to the ground in disbelief, and in her sight, it was the scene of Cheng Yan squatting down and picking up Duanmuxi.
Believe it or not, if something happens again, Ah Yan will still choose to save me first!
