Chapter 10: The Mysterious Granny, The Secret Organization
The old lady smiled and said: "Young man, you have to listen to me as an old man. It's better to know less about some things. Since you agreed, Ling Kong also has your phone number, so you can keep in touch with him. If you need anything, just call him.
He said, take this girl back with you."
I shook my head and said: "Old man, you'd better tell me what the task is. If it's a very complicated matter, I won't take her back. I'll keep her here and you can help me take care of her to avoid unnecessary trouble."
I have worries about my future. I am always worried about leaving it at home, fearing that someone will come to check on me."
The middle-aged man named Ling Kong didn't say a word and just looked at me.
The old lady turned to look at Ling Kong and said, "You will arrange for two quick and reliable people to take care of her later. They must be women. Do you understand?"
Ling Kong didn't dare to breathe, and quickly nodded and said, "I understand."
The old lady turned to me and said: "Although this task is related to that painting, the target is not that painting, but the secret hidden in that painting."
"secret?"
"Yes, you have two tasks. One is to find out the secret of this painting, and the other is to find what the secret points to."
I looked at this mysterious old lady with gray hair. I was really impressed by how articulate she was and how clear her thoughts were. Then I said, "Okay. How much do you know about this painting? All I know is that it probably depicts Cannes."
.As far as I know, this is a very well-known community in Shanghai."
The old lady's eyes lit up, and I looked at her piercing eyes. It was hard to believe that this was an old man in his dying years. She said every word: "As far as I know, Kangcheng is not only the name of a community, but also a city.
The name of the city. An ancient city that has disappeared from the map. Its ruins are in Shanghai."
When I heard these mysterious words, I couldn't help but get excited.
"I can't tell you more about the rest, because I don't know either." The old lady said, "The most urgent thing for you now is to get that painting back. I know that it is in the hands of others."
I suddenly came to my senses and said, "Have you ever found someone to offer 100,000 yuan to the shop owner to buy this painting?"
The old lady nodded and said: "Yes. We didn't buy it at that time, not because we couldn't afford it, but because we knew the painting was a fake. We have been investigating the gap between the real thing and the fake. Unexpectedly, this painting was
Someone bought it at a high price, but by the time we found out, it was too late. Our people didn't follow up with the person who bought the painting, but they found out that you were also pursuing it, so we hurriedly staged such a sale.
You can see through the farce at a glance."
I listened carefully to what this old lady was saying, and suddenly said, "Is your person a woman named Mingying?"
Lingkong was stunned and said hurriedly: "How do you know?"
The old lady actually laughed very loudly. Her laughter did not sound like that of an old man in his sixties. She did not even look at Lingkong, but said: "Lingkong, you are so out of control. This young man
It's just based on guessing and testing, and you can tell the truth. Yes, this person is Miss Mingying. Just now Ling Kong said on the phone that he found another person to help, and she was the one he was talking about."
I nodded, thinking that this old lady was very straightforward. Once she was exposed by me, she would not hide anything and tell me more information. She knew it very well. I could guess what she told me even if she didn't say it.
, and she took the initiative to say it, which can show her sincerity. Such a master of conversation is indeed extraordinary. Jiang is still very old.
The old lady suddenly said: "You saved Mingying last time, I want to thank you on her behalf."
I stood up and said, "You're welcome. I have Mingying's contact information. I also have a general understanding of the things here. Then, I will leave. By the way, old man, can you tell me...
Your name?"
The old lady looked up at me and smiled slightly. This smile was unfathomable. After five or six seconds, she said slowly: "My name is..."
Ling Kong, who had always been submissive to the old lady, suddenly interrupted unexpectedly and said urgently: "You...can't..."
The old lady waved her hand and said: "This young man asked my name out of recognition and respect for me. I also like him very much, why should I hide it?" She turned to me and said: "Yinru. The word Yin is the same as Yongzheng.
Emperor has the same name. You are the girl of Sanshui."
I flawlessly researched whether this old lady had any connection with the Manchu royal family, so I just bowed to her and said: "Old lady Yin, my junior Lin You, I was not polite enough just now, and I offended you a lot, but I hope you can see the beauty here."
, I love her, and I hope that the old lady will protect her for me. I will definitely do my best for you. And I hope that the old lady can keep her promise. If this matter is settled, let her and I have a peaceful life.
"
The old lady nodded and said nothing. Looking at her slender eyes that were getting stronger with age, I didn't know why, but I believed the meaning of her nod. I straightened up and faced the man named Ling Kong.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand.
Perhaps intimidated by my aura, or perhaps forced by Mrs. Yin's power, he couldn't help but reach out his hand and shake my hand.
A hand covered with calluses. The calluses are located on the four fingers and the area below the four fingers. When shaking hands, the index finger and middle finger are not very strong, but the ring finger and little finger are extremely powerful.
This Ling Kong is probably a master of swordsmanship.
Before coming out of this room, I glanced at Xiao Luqi lying in the freezer. Her legs were curled up, and she seemed to be lying very uncomfortable. I frowned, turned back to Lingkong and said, "Please tell me to take care of her."
people..."
"You want to give her a bath, right?" Old Mrs. Yin suddenly answered.
I felt a shiver in my heart, nodded slightly, and said: "There is also my little black cat, Mo Mo. Let it continue to be in my home, and just feed it regularly. Well... In this way, I
There is no need to pretend anymore. I will remove that thing, okay?" I said that thing was a bug. Since she knew that I gave Xiao Luqi a bath, it was most likely that their people installed the bug.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yin shook her head and said: "That's not necessary, just do whatever you want. If you are not at home due to missions, we will continue to help you smooth things over."
I smiled and said nothing, just said goodbye and walked out of the room.
Judging from what she said, the people who installed the eavesdropping device were indeed not them, but Chen Ziqi and his group. But Mrs. Yin’s words meant that they must have been aware of the existence of the eavesdropping device. They might even have invaded the eavesdropping device.
This way, not only Chen Ziqi's people could hear the sound coming from my room through the bug, but also Mrs. Yin, so she knew that I gave Xiao Luqi a bath.
But I’m not sure about this, because Mrs. Yin would probably think that a single man like me, who lives a casual and unkempt life, would have a wooden tub that is very inconsistent with the style of the bathroom. It is definitely not for my own bathing.
.
As I went downstairs, I recalled all the conversations I had with Mrs. Yin, as well as every expression on her face. I dare not judge for myself how much of what she said to me today was true or false. I only know that,
She must have concealed a lot, and may have told a lot of lies. But I really can’t muster the energy, and I don’t have enough evidence to expose her; to be honest, because she told me before when she was sitting downstairs.
It was such an obvious lie about whether a car had been here, so I didn't pay attention to her before entering the room, but since I entered the room, her wrinkled face has never shown any dissatisfaction.
The expression she should show makes me feel that her brain is like an extremely sophisticated calculator; her expression is like a display screen that is extremely loyal to reason. Some of the mistakes in expressions and movements that ordinary people often make,
It doesn't show up on her face at all.
In any case, the organization she belongs to, the organization Mingying mentioned, is not an ordinary organization. Its power is probably beyond my imagination.
However, why does such an organization with such huge energy want to find a poor and unknown person like me to pursue the secrets contained in that painting? What secrets are hidden in that painting?
In short, all of this is becoming more and more complicated and confusing.
I felt like I was stuck in a fog, and I couldn't figure it out.
He took out his cell phone and called Mingying.
The phone kept ringing "beep--beep--beep--", but no one listened.
