Zhaixing was right, she did lose her innocence when she was unmarried, but so what?
She did not do anything that made her conscience uncomfortable, nor did she use her body as a weapon to achieve her goals...
When she dreamed back at midnight, she was lying on the bed and could sleep peacefully without any regret or sadness.
Under the sun, she can proudly say that everything she does can be done under the sun.
As for her relationship with His Highness Qin?
That's her business, she's an adult, she can take full responsibility for her actions, and she knows what she's doing.
The words "Zhao Xing" did not frighten Gu Qiancheng, nor did they have any impact. After solving the problem of "Zhao Xing", Gu Qiancheng led the men in black and began to search the "Zhao Xing Tower".
Seeing that Gu Qiancheng did not take Zhai Xing's words seriously, the men in black breathed a sigh of relief. They secretly guessed that the woman named Zhai Xing was talking nonsense. Otherwise, how could Miss Gu not care at all?
Zhaixing's words didn't cause any ripples. Gu Qiancheng didn't take it seriously, and the man in black was even less likely to pass it on randomly. He just thought he heard a dog barking and didn't ask a question at all.
The lobby of the Star Building is not visible yet, but inside it is magnificent and extremely luxurious. The pillars and railings of the cloister are all covered with gold foil, and you can scrape out a pile of gold powder with a knife.
The corridors and bedrooms are illuminated not by candles, but by luminous pearls inlaid on the pillars. Judging from the number, they are only much more than those in the palace.
"It's indeed the Gold Selling Cave." Gu Qiancheng was amazed when he saw it, secretly sighing at the arrogance of the owner behind the Star Reaching Tower, and at the same time praising its background for being really big.
For such a place to be located in the capital without being noticed, the owner of the Star Building is definitely not a simple character.
Gu Qiancheng took people around and after roughly understanding the layout of the Star Building, he asked people to search through the Star Building inch by inch and find all the suspicious things.
A group of people who had gone in earlier came out soon carrying boxes upon boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a small box of silver notes, the smallest of which was also in denomination of a hundred taels.
Gu Qiancheng glanced at it and looked away without interest, "Continue searching." There was a lot of silver and jewelry, but Gu Qiancheng was not here for this stuff today.
The black-clothed guard retreated, and not long after, the secret guard ran over and said excitedly: "Girl, I found a secret room, and there is something in it."
The secret guard said "things" vaguely, which shows that these things are very special.
"Go over and have a look." Gu Qiancheng motioned to the secret guard to lead the way.
The secret room in the Star Building is not difficult to find, and the passage is in the kitchen in the backyard.
Looking at the stove that had been removed, Gu Qiancheng felt that this passage was inexplicably familiar...
There is a feeling of fighting in an underground battle!
Gu Qiancheng was so embarrassed that he jumped down under the protection of the secret guards.
There were no steps or walkways at the entrance to the secret room, only a long rope. Gu Qiancheng wrapped the rope with his sleeves and jumped down with a slight jump.
Landing lightly, the skin on the palm of her hand was not broken. Gu Qiancheng had to say that Master Ziche's training was still very effective. If she had a daughter in the future, she would also send her to be trained to improve her combat effectiveness.
The secret room was only about ten square meters and was very empty. There were a few wooden boards scattered on the ground, and there were no traces of movement. After the secret guard discovered this place, he reported it as soon as possible and did not dare to damage the scene at all.
Gu Qiancheng stepped forward, picked up the wooden board and looked at it, "Drawing board?" Although Gu Qiancheng didn't know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, he could tell a little about it with his eyes and ears.
"The paintings painted by everyone in the previous dynasty are not famous paintings, but they sell for a lot of money." The secret guard next to His Highness Qin was very impressive, "Girl, there are still completed paintings here."
The secret guard dragged out the scroll placed in the corner and opened it.
The scrolls inside have been worn for a long time. Both the paper and the scrolls have a strong sense of age. The scrolls above have been completed. At a glance, they actually feel a bit old.
"Fake ancient paintings?" Gu Qiancheng picked up the scroll and sneered silently: "Go and check where they put their paints." Do you want to use these paintings to fool her? Do the people in Zhaixing Tower think she is a fool?
Is it that easy to copy ancient paintings from previous dynasties?
Can such a secret room, a few drawing boards, and a few distressed scrolls be used to imitate ancient paintings?
Zhaixinglou really looks down on the art of counterfeiting.
Of course, if Gu Qiancheng hadn't assisted the public security agency in cracking down a major forgery case, she wouldn't have known how many processes went into forging an ancient painting.
Even though times have changed and the skills of counterfeiting are not as sophisticated and complex as modern times, it is not so childish. Famous paintings and ancient books cannot be copied by just taking a few drawing boards and a few scrolls.
Seeing Gu Qiancheng's calm face, the secret guard knew that these things might not be of much use, and he felt a little ashamed...
They thought that if they found a pattern, they could find a pattern for counterfeit banknotes.
The group of people left the secret room and continued to search. However, except for this secret room, the secret guards and the men in black found nothing suspicious. The layout of the Star Reaching Tower was also simple, and it was quickly turned upside down.
"Nothing."
"Found some paints for painting."
"The potion used to soak drawing paper was discovered."
"There are a lot of hand-carved wood in the house, which seems to be used to make scrolls."
"There are a lot of broken scrolls."
"There is only paint in the house, nothing else."
…
They checked around and found that the Star Building was actually a den for making fake paintings, and there was nothing else.
Although the case was solved, it was completely different from what they expected.
They are not here to catch the leader of fake paintings today...
This result is really unacceptable.
Seeing that everyone was like eggplants beaten by frost, Gu Qiancheng comforted him: "No clues were found. It's not because you have failed in your duty. It's because there is nothing to investigate here."
"But..." Today's operation is so big. If there is no harvest, how can they communicate?
"There is no but." Gu Qiancheng interrupted coldly: "Not every effort will be rewarded. It is normal to not be able to find things. It would be strange if every action was rewarded."
As high as the Dao is, so high is the devil. Criminals spend most of their time thinking about how to avoid the sanctions of the law and innovate crime patterns... It is normal for them to follow criminals and be taken into a ditch.
"Bring all the people from Star Reaching Tower here." Gu Qiancheng continued to return to the hall, thinking about clues she might have missed, or other things.
There is definitely something wrong with Zhaixing Tower. If there were no problems, the woman named Zhaixing would not be so hostile to her.
Zhaixinglou was not just a place where fake paintings were made, as they found out. The people behind the scenes were obviously using fake paintings as a hook to hide their true purpose.
She always felt that she had missed something, but she couldn't remember it for the moment...
