What Zhou Zichen couldn't stand the most was that the more Guan Xiaoxue went up, the collar was right in front of Zhou Zichen's eyes. Occasionally she moved, and she could see the skin on Guan Xiaoxue's chest pressed against her own. Suddenly,
It's like a balloon being squeezed hard.
Zhou Zichen could only try his best to look away, but from time to time he could feel a soft mass pressing against his chest.
"Wow..."
The door of the warehouse was pushed open, and Zhou Zichen immediately became alert, waiting for the rightful owner to arrive.
Zhou Zichen gently shook Guan Xiaoxue awake.
When Guan Xiaoxue woke up, she found that half of her body was nestled in Zhou Zichen's arms, like a scared kitten. She wanted to jump up, but was hugged by Zhou Zichen.
Before Guan Xiaoxue could react, Zhou Zichen pointed outside and made a silent gesture.
Guan Xiaoxue followed Zhou Zichen's finger and looked outside, only to see a person walking into the warehouse. Only then did Guan Xiaoxue realize that this was the real owner.
Zhou Zichen took out his mobile phone and dialed Cheng Ye's number. He waited quietly.
Guan Xiaoxue looked at the figure opening the safe outside, filled with surprise, and whispered to Zhou Zichen: "Uncle Hong."
Zhou Zichen knew about Uncle Hong. Uncle Hong was one of the people who had followed Mr. Guan very early. He had never read any books. At the beginning, he could still manage some things. When the group grew bigger, Uncle Hong, who had never read a book,
He can't keep up, and Uncle Hong is getting older and older. Even if he wants to do more things, he is unable to do anything. However, Mr. Danguan has great trust in Uncle Hong. After all, he has been with him for decades.
.
After the antique city opened, Uncle Hong was assigned to look after the warehouse, which was equivalent to a warehouse manager, but he only cared about the keys and not the number.
There is a reason to get a high salary.
Uncle Hong also watched Guan Xiaoxue grow up.
There was a noise outside. After hearing it, Uncle Hong did not continue to open the safe, but stood up in a panic. Zhou Zichen signaled to Guan Xiaoxue that she could go out.
The reason why they didn't go out before was because Cheng Ye and the others were standing guard outside. As soon as there was any movement inside, they would block all the exits and check for anyone suspicious around them.
Now that there are noises outside, it means that Cheng Ye and the others have checked the outside and secured all the exits, so they can start catching the thief.
Guan Xiaoxue walked out. Uncle Hong, who was about to leave the warehouse, saw that Guan Xiaoxue was actually inside the warehouse. He was stunned and stood at the door a little at a loss.
"Uncle Hong!" Guan Xiaoxue shouted.
Uncle Hong opened his mouth to respond, but stopped. After a while, he shouted: "Miss, Master Xiao Zhou."
Uncle Hong's voice was trembling.
Zhou Zichen met Uncle Hong, and Mr. Guan almost treated him as his own brother.
Zhou Zichen smiled slightly: "Uncle Hong, let's go out and talk!"
Zhou Zichen did not regard Uncle Hong as a thief, and Zhou Zichen believed that even if the picture of a lady worth tens of millions was really stolen by Uncle Hong, Mr. Guan would not be heartbroken. What really hurts is Uncle Hong's treatment of him.
betray.
Uncle Hong nodded subconsciously.
Zhou Zichen helped close the warehouse door, and then the three of them walked outside together.
Cheng Ye, Xue Feng, Wang Qida and several security guards hurried over. When they saw the three people, they were all stunned.
Wang Qida was still young after all, so he subconsciously asked: "Brother Zhou, where is the thief?"
Xue Feng quickly pulled Wang Qida. Only then did Wang Qida react and looked at Uncle Hong in surprise.
Uncle Hong is actually a very kind, experienced and diligent person, so everyone present has a very good impression of Uncle Hong and do not suspect him at all.
When Uncle Hong heard Wang Qida's words, his head, which was already lowered, was buried in his chest.
Guan Xiaoxue wanted to go up and comfort Uncle Hong, but she didn't know how to speak. Everyone walked to Cheng Ye's office in silence. After everyone sat down, Cheng Ye hurriedly poured a glass of water for everyone.
In the end, it was Zhou Zichen who spoke first and asked, "Uncle Hong, why are you doing this?"
Uncle Hong murmured in a low voice: "I'm sorry Brother Guan, it's all my fault."
When Uncle Hong was young, he called Mr. Guan Guan Ge, and he still calls him Mr. Guan today. Today, Uncle Hong is the only one who calls Mr. Guan this way.
Guan Xiaoxue had been holding back and said nothing. Now seeing Uncle Hong blaming himself so much, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Uncle Hong, are you in any difficulty? If you want money, you can tell me, my grandpa will definitely
Will help you."
Zhou Zichen does not think that Uncle Hong is short of money. Mr. Guan has paid Uncle Hong a lot of salary over the years. In addition to annual year-end bonuses and other bonuses, Uncle Hong's income is higher than that of ordinary executives of small companies.
Moreover, the antiques stolen by Uncle Hong are worth tens of millions. Uncle Hong also has some knowledge of antiques, so he cannot steal them casually.
Uncle Hong shook his head: "I...I'm not short of money."
Wang Qida was young and impatient, so he blurted out: "Then why do you want to take those antiques?"
Zhou Zichen was afraid that Wang Qida would say "steal", but fortunately Wang Qida said "take".
If it had been anyone else, Zhou Zichen would have definitely considered reporting it to Mr. Guan now, but Uncle Hong's status is very special and his status in Mr. Guan's heart is not low. If he reported it like this, he was afraid that Mr. Guan wouldn't be able to bear it.
Uncle Hong suddenly sobbed softly: "I...I am a beast. I am sorry for Brother Guan, but...but there is nothing I can do."
Judging from what Uncle Hong said, he was really in trouble. Since he wasn't short of money, what did he want with these antiques?
Everyone comforted Uncle Hong for a while, and then Uncle Hong wiped away his tears and said, "Yes... Master Guan forced me to do it. Master Guan took Hanwen somewhere, and I can't find it."
"Two days after the opening of the Antique City, Hanwen suddenly lost contact. I originally planned to go to their school. At this time, Master Guan came to me and said that Hanwen had been sent to a place to play by him and was waiting for me to help him.
Once you finish something, you will come back."
Hong Hanwen is Uncle Hong's youngest son. Uncle Hong only had this son in his late 40s. He is usually doted on, and it is only natural that he cares more about him.
Fortunately, Hong Hanwen is still up to his standards. He has been admitted to a key university. He is usually kind and polite to his elders. When Zhou Zichen met Hong Hanwen, the first thing that struck him was that he was polite.
This is a blackmail, a blackmail.
Everyone was a little angry when they heard this, but Guan Xiaowei is the grandson of Mr. Guan, and when it comes to talking about it, the Guan family is still the largest shareholder of this antique city.
Guan Xiaoxue didn't take it into consideration that much, and said angrily: "Guan Xiaowei went too far, and Uncle Hong also threatened me."
"Then what should we do now?" Cheng Ye could also see the complexity of this matter. Nine times out of ten, what Mr. Guan did to the younger generation was very clear. He didn't say it because he had a steelyard in his heart.
I believe that junior can hold me to the bottom line. What he didn't expect was that Guan Xiaowei had already started to do whatever he could.
Zhou Zichen pondered for a moment and asked Uncle Hong: "Uncle Hong, what did Guan Xiaowei ask you to do? Just take a few antiques?"
"No, he seems to have some kind of deal with a Japanese. If he wants my help, I don't dare to ask too many questions. I will do whatever he asks me to do." Uncle Hong said and then quickly added: "Those antiques I stole
They are all still at home. He urged me several times, but I didn't send them over. I know that if I send them over, there will really be no way out, but I am afraid that something will happen to Hanwen."
Zhou Zichen could understand Uncle Hong's current mood: "Uncle Hong, don't think too much, we will find a way to help you bring Hanwen back."
Although Uncle Hong is uneducated, he is very knowledgeable. After all, he has been with Mr. Guan for so many years and has seen many big scenes. He probably has an idea of what Guan Xiaowei's ultimate goal is.
Moreover, he also watched Guan Xiaowei grow up. He also knew Guan Xiaowei very well and knew that Guan Xiaowei could do anything when he was anxious.
It's not that Uncle Hong doesn't believe in the abilities of Zhou Zichen and others, it's just that it's much easier to kill someone than to save someone, not to mention that he doesn't even know where his son is now.
Uncle Hong hesitated for a long time and finally made a decision: "Then I will return all those antiques tomorrow."
Uncle Hong has decided to take a risk and risk his son's life. In this case, let alone Guan Xiaowei, who has various connections, even an ordinary worker or farmer wants to kill
It is easy for a person to be kidnapped, so it took a lot of courage for Uncle Hong to make this decision.
But Zhou Zichen shook his head: "You don't need to return it, let's keep it first. As for the pictures of ladies, tell Guan Xiaowei tomorrow that we have strengthened security patrols here. There is always one person on duty here among Xue Feng, Wang Qida, and Cheng Ye. You
There is no way to succeed."
Uncle Hong glanced at Zhou Zichen gratefully. Zhou Zichen was doing this to help him delay time and find a suitable opportunity to rescue his son.
"Okay, okay!" Uncle Hong responded quickly.
Zhou Zichen continued: "If there is any movement on Guan Xiaowei's side, please Uncle Hong try to inform us as soon as possible. Of course, this is to ensure your own safety and confidentiality, and nothing should be done too hastily."
Uncle Hong nodded again and again: "I know this, and I won't expose it."
Guan Xiaoxue saw that Uncle Hong had recovered a lot, he was no longer as decadent as before, and his mood was much better.
Zhou Zichen thought for a moment and continued: "If Guan Xiaowei really needs those antiques, just send them all to him."
As soon as Zhou Zichen said these words, everyone was stunned. You must know that it was tens of millions. Although Guan Xiaowei was also the grandson of Mr. Guan, everyone present subconsciously regarded Guan Xiaowei as an outsider.
"Brother Zhou, if you send it out like this, he won't come back." Wang Qida quickly reminded him.
Zhou Zichen naturally knows this truth: "Actually, no matter what, Guan Xiaowei is the grandson of Mr. Guan, and in this matter, I guess they are still after antiques. If his transaction with the Japanese is really about these antiques, then there is no need
If they worry too much, they will definitely not be able to sell all the last batch of antiques in a short time, and he will have to rely on Uncle Hong to succeed."
"So, we still have a lot of time. All we have to do is wait. When Guan Xiaowei makes his move next time, we can respond as quickly as possible."
