Chapter 204: Emergencies

Lu Chen circled around Chen Xiaoman's house a few more times, but still found nothing, and had to leave first, but the worry in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. At present, he still decided to go to the hospital to see Hou Xiaojun first, after all, when Lu Ming called him just now, his tone seemed very anxious.

Is Chen Xiaoman really gone? Actually, she left two days ago. It's not that she wants to leave, but something happened over there that shocked her, just when she was trying to find a way to find Lu Chen, she suddenly received news that her house in the United States suddenly caught fire. According to the other side, the fire burned the entire house, one of her secretaries, and most importantly, even her collection room, where there were two paintings that Lu Chen had given her, the two most important paintings to date. This was the reason why she had to rush back early.

Because Lu Chen could not be contacted for a while, Chen Xiaoman rushed back to the United States on the same day.

As soon as Chen Xiaoman, who rushed back to the United States for the first time, came to his residence, he found that it had been burned to the ground, and the scene had been blocked by the police, and no one was allowed to enter, even if Gong Anguo found a lot of connections, he could not enter the scene.

Just when Chen Xiaoman was in a dilemma, a person appeared, and that was Kubas. Chen Xiaoman didn't know when he rushed back, but he seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and even used a lot of connections to help Chen Xiaoman investigate this matter, but still found nothing.

Because the house was burned down, even if he bought a set immediately, it was not so fast, Chen Xiaoman originally planned to live in the hotel, but he couldn't shirk Kubas's repeated invitations, so he lived in their castle, and of course he was also highly courteous.

"Why can't you just ask her where these two came from?" asked Kubas, looking at the old man across from him, frowning.

This old man was none other than Ferris, the man his father trusted the most. This time, he also came to deal with this matter personally, proving that his father attached great importance to this matter.

Kubas also rushed back two days ago, but unlike Chen Xiaoman, he was picked up by the family's private jet. Just when he found nothing in China and didn't know how to go back to explain to his father, news came from the family and told him to go back immediately. The specific things were not said, and he was originally asked to accompany Chen Xiaoman back together, because they had already guessed that if Chen Xiaoman knew the news, he would definitely rush back as soon as possible. Fearing that Kubas would say something unknowingly, he finally decided to let him go back first, and sent a private jet.

Kubas, who rushed home in a hurry, did not see his father, but saw the old man Ferris, and the old man took him into the study and told him a shocking news. He also finally knew why he didn't talk about it on the phone, because sometimes the phone is not safe. There is a tradition in their family that important things are said to their faces.

The news was that their Rossfellard family had discovered that Chen Xiaoman had collected two paintings they were looking for through an informant arranged in Mande. When the informant took someone from their family to pick it up, he happened to be discovered by Chen Xiaoman's secretary. In order not to leak the news, and also to avoid arousing Chen Xiaoman's suspicion, they could only kill the secretary to extinguish their mouths, and at the same time set a fire to burn Chen Xiaoman's house to the ground, and even burned many expensive treasures.

When Kubas first learned that Chen Xiaoman had the work their family was looking for, he was still surprised. This also means that Chen Xiaoman will be the next important target of their family's attention, and even the entire Mande will become the focus of attention. Although the family is now supporting him in pursuing Chen Xiaoman, this is completely different from the previous nature, and this kind of love with the nature of interest exchange is not what he wants. He had also wanted to ask why the family valued the two paintings so much, but neither Ferris nor his father would mention them, saying that they were important to the family.

Today, after he took Chen Xiaoman to his home, he couldn't help it, so he found Ferris to talk about it.

"Absolutely not, in that case, it is tantamount to startling the snake. A person who can draw these two pictures is definitely not simple, and it will not be so easy to cooperate with us. Ferris shook his head, looked at the window of Chen Xiaoman's room in the distance outside the window, and said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Ferris, do you suspect that these two paintings were painted by Chen Xiaoman?" Kubas suddenly thought of a possibility.

"No, no, no, we suspect it's his father, Chen Aifei. Ferris said, turning his head to look at Kubas.

"His father, the painter who has disappeared?" Kubas knew Chen Aifei, such a famous painter, how could he not know it. And because he wanted to pursue Chen Xiaoman before, he also met his father a few times.

Ferris nodded, he knew very well in his heart that if these two works were really from Chen Aifei's hand, then Chen Xiaoman must not be allowed to know the slightest bit of news. Because he wasn't sure if Chen Xiaoman knew about his father, and he wasn't sure if they had found Chen Aifei. After all, it is China, and some of their power is also limited. He even wondered if Chen Aifei had fallen into the hands of some big families, so since they knew that Chen Xiaoman had those two works, they also activated all the forces of the family in the world to investigate this matter.

"That'...... So what should we do next?" Kubasa didn't know how to face Chen Xiaoman next, but one thing he knew was that the interests of the family were more important than everything else.

"You can go after her with open arms, hahaha! I'm sure you can!" Ferris said with a smile as he patted Kubas on the shoulder. With that, he walked towards the door.

Kubas looked at Ferris, who pushed the door out, and shook his head helplessly. Chen Xiaoman was still waiting for him to help her investigate the fire. How to deal with it yourself still needs to think carefully.

"Uncle Gong, do you think this is an accident?"

Chen Xiaoman sat on the sofa and looked at Gong Anguo opposite and asked. Although there is no basis, she just feels that this matter is not so simple, why did it not catch fire sooner or later, and it caught fire when she returned to China, and she still put those two works into her collection room. The fire protection facilities in her house are very complete, especially her collection room, which is extremely high-level, because there are always some world-famous works of art in it. Take 10,000 steps back, even if it accidentally catches fire, the firefighters have time to go in and rescue it.

"I don't think it's that simple, alas! It's a pity that in the United States, my palace gate has limited power, otherwise I will definitely investigate and find out!"

Gong Anguo was also indignant, Chen Xiaoman didn't believe that this was an accidental event, how could he, who had been on various occasions and events for a long time, believe it easily. But he was helpless now, there was no trace of the burn inside, he had sneaked in to see it, and even the body of the secretary had been removed. He also went to the funeral home to see her, and she had already been burned to the point that there was nothing left, and where else to find clues.

However, after this incident, Gong Anguo knew one thing, in the future, he would not leave Chen Xiaoman an inch, and he would increase his protection for her, he felt that if he came for Mande, then Chen Xiaoman would definitely be the primary target, because he didn't know about Lu Chen's two paintings, and he could only speculate so much.

"Miss Chen Xiaoman, are you in the house?" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then Kukubas's voice came in.
