The place where I met Yang Ximing was still his villa.
Just like last time, when the housekeeper took me into the study.
Yang Ximing was standing next to the huge bookshelf, looking down at it.
His clothes are similar to before.
A black shirt with gold buttons on it. There is also a sky blue vest on the outside.
Gold-rimmed glasses and a pipe in his mouth.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Chu is here!"
Only then did Yang Ximing regain his composure and put the tome aside.
He looked at me and said politely:
"Mr. Chu, sit down quickly!"
There were also a lot of books piled on the sofa next to me. I could only sit next to it.
"Anyway, I still want to thank you for what happened in Bashu last time. Although the calligraphy and painting did not go as Teacher Zheng wished, at least it came into your hands, and it can be regarded as finding a good owner for it! Oh, by the way.
.Be sure to preserve that painting, and don’t rush to take action..."
Yang Ximing said politely.
I nodded along.
Of course I would not sell the calligraphy and painting, and entrusted He Xiaoshi to He Songbai for safekeeping.
After all, he still has some antiques left by my father.
After a few polite words, Yang Ximing asked me directly:
"Mr. Chu, I heard from Zhong Rui that if you come to me, if you have something to do, just tell me."
There was no need to beat around the bush with Yang Ximing, so I said directly:
"Mr. Yang, it's like this. I heard from Zhong Rui that you know a lot about Cumulus Manor. I don't know. Can you introduce it to me?"
"Understood? I don't know anything about that place!"
Yang Ximing smiled and shook his head.
I felt disappointed upon hearing this. Could it be that Zhong Rui was not prepared for this news?
"If you want to know more about it, why not go and have a look!"
Seeing my disappointed look, Yang Ximing asked again.
I looked up at Yang Ximing and said with a wry smile:
"I would like to go, but I heard that it's an invitation-only place and you can't get in at all!"
"I can take you in!"
Um?
He said he didn't understand just now, but then he said he would take me there.
I really don’t understand the thinking of this scholar.
But I'm still a little surprised. Yang Ximing is a scholar, how could he get involved in Cuiyun Manor?
Yang Ximing seemed to see my doubts, and he said directly:
"The Qin family has a few cultural relics in their hands, and they want me to go over and help them date them and check their authenticity. Although the Qin family and I are not familiar with each other, we live in Fengtian and have some common friends. In addition, I also want to see it.
Look, the cultural relics in the hands of the Qin family. If you want to see this Jiuyun Villa, I would like to take you to see it..."
I was overjoyed, this was my unexpected gain.
But Yang Ximing suddenly thought of something. He looked at me again and said:
"Many people in the Qin family know you, and you still have conflicts with the Qin family. It seems inappropriate to take you there like this!"
I listened and immediately laughed and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I have a way to prevent them from recognizing me!"
Yang Ximing nodded and said:
"Okay, I made an appointment with them for eight o'clock the day after tomorrow. We will leave at six o'clock and wait for my call!"
I know, as long as I enter this Cumulus Manor.
The day when we meet Qin Sihai must not be far away.
The day I agreed with Yang Ximing to enter Cuiyun Manor came. In the afternoon, I specifically asked Xiaoduo to change my face for me.
Just after finishing it, Bai Jingxue knocked on the door angrily and came in.
Although she knew that I had changed my appearance, the moment she saw me, she couldn't help but be startled.
But then, she immediately said:
"Xiao Liuye, that bastard from the Qin family. Today at noon, he smashed up one of our Bai family's restaurants. He also asked someone to inform you that if you disturb the Qin family, he will smash one of ours. Let's see who can survive in the end.
live!"
Originally, Xiaoduo was packing her tools when she heard what Bai Jingxue said.
A trace of anger immediately appeared in her beautiful big eyes.
Looking at me, she said angrily:
"Xiao Liuye, if you have something to do tonight, just leave it alone. I will take care of the Qin family!"
I know Xiaoduo, her unruliness has penetrated deep into her bones.
I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I hurriedly said:
"No one is allowed to act rashly. We will wait until I come back from Cuiyun Manor!"
"snort!"
Xiaoduo rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
I ignored the girl and exchanged a few words with Bai Jingxue before contacting Yang Ximing.
Cuiyun Manor is located in Banyun Mountain on the outskirts of Fengtian.
The scenery here is excellent, with flowing rivers and lakes, and surrounded by green mountains.
Sitting in Yang Ximing's Mercedes-Benz, he was holding a cigarette butt and looking at the sunset outside the window and said:
"I have been to many manors over the years. If I were to rank them, Cumulus Manor would definitely be in the top three!"
"Why?"
I asked.
"This place is low-key and mysterious. The people who come and go are all powerful and wealthy businessmen from the three provinces of Guandong. You never know who you will meet here. Maybe a glass of wine or a hand of cards can change a person's destiny. Qin Sihai can
To be the gambling king of Guandong and to be evergreen. In fact, it has a lot to do with this manor. After all, the connections here can always help him solve some problems that others cannot solve..."
What Yang Ximing said is very similar to what Uncle Zhong said.
But the more this happens, the more curious I become about this manor.
