The casino mascot next to him threatened Li Xiaobai: "Tell your friend, if we don't get money to redeem you quickly, we don't mind sending you to a hospital ship on the high seas to sell parts."
The speakerphone of the mobile phone was turned on. Zhu Changan could clearly hear the conversation on the other side and spoke hurriedly.
"Hey... friends, you are opening a casino to make money, so don't mess around!"
Li Xiaobai was frightened and cried: "Brother Chang'an, save me, you must save me! I will definitely pay you back the money. If it doesn't work, you can deduct it from my salary."
"Of course your salary will be deducted. Do you think I wiped your ass for nothing?"
Zhu Changan scolded Li Xiaobai on the phone, and finally asked: "How much money do you owe the casino? I'll call you now."
"I owe 3.5 million." Li Xiaobai said dejectedly.
"Your monthly basic salary is 300,000 yuan. I will deduct 200,000 yuan from you and leave you 100,000 yuan for living expenses. Are you okay with that?" Zhu Changan asked on the phone.
"Can you deduct 100,000 and give me 200,000?" Li Xiaobai tried to bargain.
"Go away, I think it's better for you to deliver food. You can't save money anyway. I find that giving you too much money will harm you. If you are a happy delivery boy, you will have a more stable life."
As Zhu Changan spoke, he transferred 3.51 million to Li Xiaobai, "3.5 million will be paid back, and the remaining 10,000 will be used as travel expenses. Come back to work for me. Of course, if you want to sell your buttholes in Macau, you don't have to come back!"
After reprimanding Li Xiaobai, Zhu Changan hung up the phone directly.
After 24 hours of resting, all the pictures and antiques in the vault had turned into normal sizes.
Including the pictures that Zhu Renxia dedicated to him a few days ago, which were purchased by Yan Wen and Deng Huaiwen, there are a total of forty-three pictures, eight of which contain the homophone of the word "Nirvana".
Especially among the fifteen pictures that Xie Yangxin finally presented, five of them contain the homophonic sound of the word "Nirvana". It can only be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this place in the capital. As long as you want what you want, you will definitely be able to find it.
Zhu Changan immediately called Cheng Yinuo and reported the good news: "Princess, princess, I have good news for you."
"I also have good news to tell you." Cheng Yinuo said on the phone, "You tell me first, I will tell you later."
Zhu Changan cleared his throat and said seriously: "Through my unremitting efforts, I have found a total of eight ancient paintings with the homophonic sound of the word 'Nirvana' during this period. I feel that one of them must be the one in the antidote picture. Picture D, Qianjin will wake up soon, come to Lanling quickly to get these ancient paintings!"
"Eight pictures?"
Cheng Yinuo was pleasantly surprised, "What a great job. I found eight ancient paintings that contain the homophony of the word nirvana. I hope I can get the antidote together this time to help Qian Qian wake up from her coma."
"Then why bother? Hurry up and get on the plane to Lanling!"
It had been more than 20 days since he had seen Cheng Yinuo, and Zhu Changan found that he missed her a little.
When he was in Macau, if Cheng Yinuo hadn't given him a heads-up and enlightened himself, he might have ended up like Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai lost all his wealth. Will he be locked up in the lounge and wait for someone to rescue him like him? God knows!
Cheng Yinuo said: "This is the good news I want to tell you. I can't go to Lanling for the time being."
"You can't come to Lanling? What kind of good news is this?"
Zhu Changan was speechless. Cheng Yinuo, you also went to the grave to burn newspapers, right?
"The bait I arranged is about to be bitten by the fish. Do you think this is good news?" Cheng Yinuo asked Zhu Changan on the phone.
"So this is the reason why you can't come to Lanling."
"Yeah...the auction I planned will be held in another week. I have to keep an eye on it and can't leave for a day."
"This time, I must uncover the culprit hiding behind the scenes and make the murderer who caused Qian Qian have been in a coma for eight years pay a heavy price."
"How did you determine that the culprit behind the scenes was about to bite the bait?" Zhu Changan asked doubtfully.
"I can't tell you on the phone. If you really want to know, bring all the paintings and come to the capital! Let me tell you in person."
Zhu Changan held his chin and muttered: "The murderer behind the scenes is probably the person who wants to kill me. I must know who he is. You send a plane to pick me up, and I will fly you to the capital this afternoon."
"OK."
Cheng Yinuo agreed happily, "I'm going to arrange the flight now, and I'll call you then."
Zhu Changan immediately packed eight ancient paintings with homophonic sounds for the word "nir" into his suitcase, and then waited for the Cheng family's plane to pick him up.
Remembering that Cheng Yinuo said that the auction she planned was about to be held, Zhu Changan thought that he could auction off the cultural relics he had recently acquired and make a fortune along the way.
So, Zhu Changan called Cheng Mei again and told her his thoughts.
However, Zhu Changan only said that Cheng Yinuo was going to hold a bidding meeting in the capital, but he did not tell him about using fishing bait to lure the culprit behind the scenes to show up.
It makes no sense to tell her this kind of thing, but it will cause her to worry, so it is better to keep it secret.
Cheng Mei immediately agreed: "This is great. Then I will go to the capital with Mr. Cheng and communicate with the person in charge of the auction house face to face."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the helicopter sent by Cheng Yinuo landed on the rooftop apron of the Casriel Hotel. Cheng Yinuo immediately called Zhu Changan and asked him to go to the hotel.
Zhu Changan first said goodbye to Zhu Renxia, which has become his routine before going out.
"Zhu Renxia, this Heavenly Lord is preparing to go to heaven."
Zhu Changan said seriously that he would indeed go to heaven this time, "You have to be careful. You can't count on me to help you during this time."
Zhu Renxia nodded and said: "Don't worry, Tianzun. The current government situation of Tongren Mansion is stable and the troops are strong. No accidents will happen."
Zhu Changan then turned around and left with peace of mind, and told Fang Judao: "I will go to the capital this time, and I may come back after some time. You can take good care of the house at home."
Fang Rou nodded gently: "I understand, say hello to the lady for me."
While talking, Cheng Mei drove outside the villa.
Also coming with him was a commercial vehicle from Changan Company, with four security guards in the car. This was specifically requested by Zhu Changan.
The security guards helped Zhu Changan carry the suitcase containing the ancient paintings into the car, then left the villa and headed to the Casriel Hotel.
On the way, Cheng Mei asked: "Mr. Li went back to his hometown to visit relatives during this period. It has been four or five days and he still hasn't come back. Nothing happened, right?"
Zhu Changan didn't want Cheng Mei to know about Li Xiaobai's embarrassment. After all, he was the general manager and legal representative of the group he single-handedly promoted, representing himself and the image of the entire company.
If people in the company know that Li Xiaobai lost 10 million in Macau and was detained, how can he continue to work in the company in the future?
"It's nothing. He has a sister who is paralyzed in bed. She seems to be undergoing surgery during this period, so it was delayed for some time."
Zhu Changan made up a high-sounding reason for Li Xiaobai, but what he was thinking about was that gambling was really harmful.
Ten million was enough for Li Xiaobai's family to live a good life, but they lost everything due to his hotheadedness. Damn it!
An hour and a half later, the helicopter landed in the parking lot of the Cheng family villa.
Cheng Yinuo drove up to pick her up in person and exchanged a few words with Cheng Mei: "You are just in time to identify the authenticity of these paintings with Teacher Gao Qidou."
Zhu Changan asked in surprise: "Why didn't you call Teacher Zhou Li and Teacher Song Yuanxing together?"
"Humph... I have verified that Zhou Li and Song Yuanxing colluded with the murderer of Qian Qian. My trust in them was really wasted."
Cheng Yinuo said bitterly, "Let them be happy for a few more days. After the auction is over, I will close the net and catch them and the culprit behind the scenes."
"Who is the culprit behind the scenes? How did you determine it?" Zhu Changan asked impatiently.
Cheng Yinuo glanced at Cheng Mei intentionally or unintentionally, not wanting to say too much in front of her, "I'll tell you in detail later. Let's go inspect the goods first. Teacher Gao is waiting for us in Zhenbao Pavilion!"
Zhu Changan understood, nodded and said: "Then inspect the goods first."
Cheng Mei pretended to turn a deaf ear. She had worked for the Cheng family for many years and knew very well that you should not ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Only smart people can win the favor of the boss. Those who kill the cat out of curiosity are stupid people.
