Chapter 85 A near miss
"Miss Su, I'm sorry, someone wanted to sign a contract at the last minute, so I kept you waiting."
The good-looking young man walked up to me and bowed slightly to me in the setting sun.
Everyone has special circumstances. I wasn't angry at first, but he apologized so solemnly, which made me a little embarrassed.
"Are you a resident here?" I asked for a topic.
The security guard opened the iron door early just now, obviously he knew this car.
Chu Yucheng nodded: "My home is southeast of Yuncui Pavilion, called Xiaoqiaoliushui."
Southeast direction... isn't that the place with extremely strong vitality that I saw in the morning?
It can't be such a coincidence.
"Ms. Su, get in the car, we have to go see the house."
Chu Yucheng hinted at me.
I was not polite and stood for half an hour. Although the sun was not that strong, I still broke out in a thin sweat.
The air conditioning in the car was very powerful, and the seats were quite soft. I almost hummed because it was so comfortable. It was indeed a luxury car that I didn’t even recognize the logo on.
A few minutes later, the car arrived at Yuncui Pavilion.
The housekeeper had already received the news and opened the door of Yuncui Pavilion to greet us. The driver of Chu Yucheng also parked his car firmly in the courtyard in front of Yuncui Pavilion.
The uncle butler had a normal smile. He took Chu Yucheng to visit the villa again just like he did when he greeted me yesterday, but he used a different set of words.
"I was lucky enough to see the audio-visual playback hall at Mr. Chu's home. Of course, the one we have in Yuncui Pavilion cannot compare with the one in Xiaoqiao Liushui, but it is still relatively top-notch. Mr. Chu can give it a try."
"This swimming pool is a little smaller than the one at the small bridge and flowing water, but it's more than enough to hold a party for more than a dozen people."
"Although this courtyard does not have a greenhouse like the bridge and flowing water, and there are fewer types, there are flowers and plants blooming all year round, and the fragrance of the flowers is quite pleasant..."
……
I have to admit that status, as a matter of fact, can make others wear colored glasses and receive different treatment.
When I was looking at the house yesterday, the housekeeper kept emphasizing to me how much money was spent on the various facilities and scenery in the house and how rare they were. But today it changed drastically. To me, it sounded like he was constantly praising the little things. The bridge is flowing like water.
Chu Yucheng looked calm and followed the housekeeper, asking questions from time to time, as if he was really coming to see the buyer of the house.
Things went very smoothly. When I opened the door of the master bedroom, I clearly felt that the housekeeper paused.
It wasn't until nothing happened that the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The furnishings in this room are a bit old. They were all renovated recently, so they are a bit empty. But they will be back to their original state soon. Don't worry, Mr. Chu." ”
Chu Yucheng nodded and walked in. Like all the rooms before, he looked around first, then seemed to be attracted by the oil painting on the wall, and stood in front of the painting for a long time.
"This is the work "The Beauty of Quietness" written by Master Enivar Kuka during his lifetime." Chu Yucheng said.
The butler smiled and said: "Mr. Chu has good taste. This painting was bought at an overseas auction."
Things were about to get down to business, and I inevitably swallowed nervously.
I saw the old man in the room standing nervously on one side, in exactly the same posture as me.
Chu Yucheng nodded: "My brother... used to like Anivar Kuka's works very much, so I did a little research on them, but I didn't expect to see them here today."
The expression on his face suddenly became very sad, and his eyes were no longer focused, as if he was recalling something from long ago.
The housekeeper even knows the layout and structure of the small bridge and flowing water, so he must know what has happened to the Chu family in the past few months. "Mr. Chu, please forgive me." The butler said words of comfort as expected.
Chu Yucheng was brought back from his thoughts by these words, calmed down, and said: "I want to buy this painting. Can this painting be sold to me separately?"
If he hadn't finally said this, I would have suspected that his brother really liked this painter's works. But I didn't expect that Chu Yucheng's acting skills were so good. Unlike me, who was so nervous that my mouth was drooling. Dry throat.
When the housekeeper heard such a request, he was stunned for a few seconds, but he quickly reacted and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I still need to ask Mrs. Qin before I give you an answer."
Chu Yucheng: "Then please contact me now. I plan to visit my brother tomorrow. I will bring this painting with me. He will be very happy."
Chu Yucheng's expression was just right for sadness and request. Seeing this, the housekeeper was too embarrassed to delay, so he had to contact Mrs. Qin immediately.
After a while, the housekeeper came back and replied: "Madam agreed, saying that I spent 500 million to buy this painting. If Mr. Chu wants it, I can sell it to Mr. Chu for 300 million, as if I have made a friend."
It seems that Qin Ruixia has no doubts.
Chu Yucheng showed a suitable expression of gratitude: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Qin."
The housekeeper came to see the painting and found that it was nailed to the wall. He said he would call the decorator to pick up the painting.
"The small bridge and flowing water happen to be right next door. My driver also knows a little carpentry. I just ask the driver to go to my house to get some tools to dismantle it. There is no need to bother the master to come to the door." Chu Yucheng spoke at the right time.
The butler did not become suspicious and agreed to the proposal.
But when the driver came to the door with tools to dismantle the painting, the housekeeper kept watching and refused to leave.
Although Chu Yucheng proposed to go to other rooms to take a look and let the driver dismantle the paintings alone, the housekeeper kept evading and said that he would feel relieved if he watched the paintings being dismantled.
If he insisted on leaving, it would appear to be deliberate.
How to do?
The screws were removed one after another. The housekeeper had no intention of leaving, and my heart began to lift little by little. In my anxiety, my brain worked rapidly and I moved a few steps.
Only I know that I walked to Mr. Luo in these few steps.
I walked up to Mr. Luo and winked at him towards the ceiling.
Now this is the only way.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the painting and no one noticed me.
Only the last two screws are left. The wall next to the penultimate screw has been cut open. When the next screw is removed, the painting will slide down and the pinhole camera will be exposed.
The housekeeper kept watching and the driver kept moving. Seeing that the screw was about to be pulled out, my heart was already in my throat!
Suddenly, a lampshade hit Chu Yucheng directly on the head.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, I quickly pulled Chu Yucheng toward me. The glass lampshade brushed past him and fell to the ground, falling into pieces.
The butler's attention was attracted by the fallen glass lampshade, and the light went out at that moment.
I have sharp ears and eyes due to Qi training. In the dark, I saw the driver stop pulling out the screws, and the picture frame was finally not lifted in front of the housekeeper.
call……
I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Finally, Mr. Luo understood my hint, and there was no danger.
