Zhou Zichen didn't sleep all night and fell asleep lying on the big table on the first floor of Guranxuan. If there were no employees coming to work, Zhou Zichen would have slept until noon.
"Oops!" Zhou Zichen then remembered that he said he would follow Xiao Wuzi there yesterday. Now he still didn't know what the situation was. He turned on his phone and saw that Xiao Wuzi called him several times later. He
None were heard.
"Ding ding!"
Zhou Zichen's cell phone rang again, probably because there were too many messages that were not displayed. The content of the text message was sent at five o'clock in the morning, from Xiaohua, and it said: I have arrived at the hospital, you have a good rest.
Only then did Zhou Zichen feel relieved. He looked at the time and it was already past eight o'clock. Zhou Zichen quickly packed up and ran to the hospital.
How can he think about sleeping now? No matter what happens to Xiao Wuzi, he can't let himself continue to rest without caring about Xiao Wuzi.
Zhou Zichen drove to the hospital soon after driving, quickly called Xiaohua and asked for the ward number, and then found Xiao Wuzi.
"How is the situation?" Zhou Zichen saw Xiaohua waiting at the door with a serious expression on his face, and his heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened?
"I'm not optimistic. I'm still in a coma. The doctor said that although the stabbing was not serious, I lost too much blood, so I need an emergency blood transfusion." Xiaohua's expression was a little solemn and her tone was a little low.
"Fuck!" Zhou Zichen punched the wall and shouted angrily. These people were too bold. How could they dare to steal things directly?
But now there is no news from the police, and Zhou Zichen doesn't know who the other party is. Only after Xiao Wuzi wakes up can he know who the murderer is.
"Don't worry, the doctor said it's nothing serious..." Xiaohua didn't know how to comfort people, so she could only say this to Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen sighed and sat on the bench in the corridor. It was fine as long as he was fine, but Zhou Zichen was more concerned about who the other party was. In this day and age, there are still people who break into and rob houses, and there are so many antique shops nearby.
If they didn't rob, why did they single out their own place?
"What time is it now?" Zhou Zichen asked suddenly, and then he remembered that he and Jiang Gan were going to the museum today. With this matter being such a fuss, he probably wouldn't be able to see much of anything in his current state even in the past.
"It's already half past nine." Xiaohua looked at Zhou Zichen in confusion. She didn't know what happened to Zhou Zichen.
"Dingling bell..." As soon as Xiaohua finished her words, Zhou Zichen's cell phone rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was Jiang Gan calling.
"Hey Mr. Jiang, something happened here. You go first, I'll be there later." Zhou Zichen looked at Xiao Wuzi in the ward, gritted his teeth and said, it's useless for him to guard here now.
I can only ask Xiaohua to help take care of it.
Xiaohua knew that Zhou Zichen had something to do, and she was obedient and did not disturb Zhou Zichen. After Zhou Zichen hung up the phone, she gave Zhou Zichen a look of affirmation, and Zhou Zichen understood what she meant.
"Go ahead and leave this to me." Xiaohua nodded to Zhou Zichen and watched Zhou Zichen leave.
Zhou Zichen glanced apologetically at Xiao Wuzi who was lying on the hospital bed. If he had been stabbed, there might not have been such serious consequences, but Xiao Wuzi was already thin and the food he usually ate was not nutritious.
Yeah, I'm already a little anemic, and if I keep doing this for a while...
Zhou Zichen shook his head and told himself not to think about the bad things. He said something to Xiaohua and left, driving to the museum.
Along the way, Zhou Zichen was also thinking about who the other party might be, who would actually target him like this. He could tell that the other party was definitely going for Xiao Wuzi or his Gu Ranxuan, but why exactly?
Is it Feng Tianyou? He is not so shameless as to do such a sneaky thing, but if it is against you, why not go to him directly and steal your own antique shop?
"Zi Chen, hurry up, it will be closing soon." Jiang Qian had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Zhou Zichen coming, he quickly waved to him. If it weren't for his special status, the work at the door would be difficult. I'm afraid the store has been closed long ago.
Zhou Zichen hurriedly took two steps and followed Jiang Qian in. Although he was very upset, Xiao Wuzi hadn't woken up now, and he had no clues. He couldn't find the murderer at all, so he had better do what he was doing at the moment.
"It is said that the owner of this painting is a big family from the capital, surnamed Qin. It seems that he will appear at the auction this time, and because of his arrival, many people came here just to see him. "Jiang Gan told Zhou Zichen the situation at the scene on the road, with a rare hint of excitement on his face.
But Zhou Zichen's expression is a little strange, his surname is Qin? Could it be that he is the arrogant boy he met in Jiangdong City?
Whether it was or not, it had nothing to do with Zhou Zichen, and Tao Zhuo's punch must have been in vain. After all, he was the one who struck first, and the other party stopped him in time. Even Zhou Zichen couldn't blame him.
"So many people?" As soon as Zhou Zichen approached a venue, he found that there was a sea of people inside. The venue was almost packed. There were men, women, old and young. Judging by their temperament and appearance, he knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person. After all, a ticket was sold. Five thousand yuan, scalpers have sold it to 15,000 yuan, and the ticket price alone is the same as a celebrity concert.
"It's good to get used to it. After all, this is a rare work. Plus the Qin family in the capital. If this gimmick doesn't attract so many people, then the Qin family doesn't need to be called a big family."
Jiang Gan nodded slightly. He had seen this kind of scene too many times. If he were a few years younger, he might be as crazy as these people here, but he is old and this is no longer his home court.
"President Jiang! I have admired you for a long time!" While Jiang Qian and Zhou Zichen were still watching outside, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind them.
Jiang Gan glanced at the other person and found that he didn't recognize him, but he was famous, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone knew him.
"Who are you?" Jiang Gan has an old man's demeanor, and his expression and tone will make people awe-inspiring.
"I am the host of this auction, and I am also the person who will auction this painting on behalf of Master Qin. I have long heard that President Jiang is both good at virtue and art. When I see him today, he is indeed well-deserved!"
Han Liqun extended his right hand to Jiang Qian, his tone full of respect. This is the true style of a big family. Like the Wang Qianlong Zhou Zichen met, he was just a street gangster.
"Oh, it's you that Xiao Han mentioned. It's a pleasure to meet you." Jiang Qian shook hands with Han Liqun, but he wasn't too surprised. Xiao Han was the one who invited him to appreciate it. This person also had the surname Han. I guess It has something to do with it.
But in fact, Xiao Han mentioned Han Liqun to Jiang Gan. It was simply Jiang Qian's guess. Xiao Han was young and a bit impetuous in his work, and he didn't look like someone who could own that painting.
"Xiao Han is my nephew, and I am his uncle. We all work under Master Qin. Please come in, and we have prepared a special place for you." Han Liqun said modestly, and then asked someone to take Jiang Gan inside. Take a seat.
Zhou Zichen didn't say anything. Anyway, he was relying on Jiang Gan's reputation, so he just followed him.
Zhou Zichen and Jiang Gan sat in the front row. They happened to arrive late. Although they bought the highest fare, there were so many people inside and there was no rule about whose seat it was. Even if they argued, they might not be able to get a result. Come.
But as soon as Zhou Zichen sat down, he noticed a familiar figure walking towards him.
"Teacher, I'm late." Liu Yuan glanced at Zhou Zichen, followed by several staff members, and sat next to Jiang Gan.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Qian looked at Liu Yuan with some displeasure. Liu Yuan usually managed a lot of things in the antique city. In addition, the previous conflict between him and Zhou Zichen made Jiang Qian hate him. He was already dissatisfied, but now that he had left all his things in the Antique City to hang out here, he felt even more unhappy.
"Teacher, look at what you said, why can't I come? Besides, they invited me here." When Liu Yuan said this, he glanced at Zhou Zichen provocatively, as if to show off that he was attracted by them. The same thing as if you came here.
But Zhou Zichen didn't even look at him. He was looking for the man named Qin in the background, the young master Qin that Han Liqun mentioned just now.
However, Zhou Zichen scanned the background and didn't find the man named Qin he met. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He thought it was such a coincidence that he met him.
Zhou Zichen didn't know why he wanted to meet the man named Qin, maybe because they were the same kind of people? Even Feng Tianyou, Zhou Zichen didn't feel much pressure when he saw him, but the man named Qin made him Zhou Zichen feels a little stressed from time to time, or in other words, has a familiar feeling.
"Where were you last night?" Zhou Zichen suddenly remembered something and stared into Liu Yuan's eyes.
Liu Yuan was slightly stunned, what did Zhou Zichen mean? But he quickly realized it, and then said: "You care about me? What does it have to do with you?"
At the end, Liu Yuan rolled his eyes, and Zhou Zichen frowned. He had just thought of a possibility. There was a conflict between him and Liu Yuan. He was refuting his face like that. A narrow-minded person like him shouldn't be unresponsive. But Liu Yuan’s current reaction doesn’t look like he did it, so who else could it be?
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction. I am the host of this auction, Han Liqun!"
Han Liqun stood on the stage and introduced himself, and also introduced the background of the painting. Jiang Qian gave Zhou Zichen an overview before, and he already understood it, but Zhou Zichen still listened carefully, so he understood it. Completely understood.
"I believe everyone should know that the real holder of our painting is the eldest son of the Qin family in the capital, Qin Pei! Next, let us solemnly invite Mr. Qin Pei!"
Han Liqun waved his left hand as if introducing a special guest, and then a young man walked out from the side. It was the young master named Qin that Zhou Zichen had met in Jiangdong City before!
