"Really? Yiyi, don't lie to me." My mother squeezed my hand hard, the worry in her eyes almost overflowing.
I felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look into my mother's eyes, but I still had the courage to say, "Mom, why don't you even believe me? Besides, people with such good conditions may not be able to fall in love with me as a second marriage!"
"Nonsense! What happened to the second marriage? It's hard to find a daughter like me even with a lantern!" My mother was even more reluctant to hear me slandering myself, but in the end most of her doubts were dispelled.
She held me in her arms distressedly, and her tone became softer, for fear of making me uncomfortable, "There are so many good men, and your parents will help you carefully. When your father comes back from a business trip, I will ask him to find a candidate for you." .”
"Okay." When I mentioned my dad, my heart became heavier and I could only say one word.
Yes, if my dad comes back, the family will be complete.
I lowered my head and swallowed back the sobs in my throat. Now my parents can only rely on me, and I must be strong.
After chatting with my mother for a while and watching her fall asleep, I quietly returned to the room.
But I couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed.
My mother can still keep it a secret for the time being, but what worries me now is the art exhibition competition. How did Ning Qingyi change the paintings? Where are my paintings?
Until three o'clock in the morning, I still didn't fall asleep. Jin Han said that the surveillance video would be found before the game, but I didn't believe him.
Since I couldn't sleep, I simply got dressed, sneaked out of the villa, and took a taxi to the exhibition hall. Based on my familiarity with the exhibition hall, I don’t believe there are any clues!
I helped set up the scene for a while, and I was quite familiar with everything here before and after I ran. The password to the door was not changed, so I went in directly.
At this time, the door to the monitoring room was closed tightly, but lights came out from inside, mixed with the sounds of quarreling.
I frowned and walked over slowly.
"Why don't you let my people investigate together? I am also a judge! The competition will be held in a few hours, and I think you are just stalling for time!" When I heard Gu Shisong's voice, I stopped in my steps and walked through the crack in the door. Look inside.
In addition to the security personnel of the exhibition hall, Gu Shisong was also accompanied by two men wearing glasses. They looked like technicians. Opposite him was Jin Han's assistant, Special Assistant Fang.
"Mr. Gu, this is Jin's property. We cannot allow outsiders to enter the system at will. Please don't embarrass me." My heart sank again when I heard Assistant Fang's words.
It seems that Jin Han did not let his cronies come here to investigate the truth.
"I'm just going to embarrass you, what can I do?" Gu Shisong was not easy to dismiss. He waved his hand to the person behind him, with a sneer on his lips.
Seeing that there might be a physical conflict between people in the monitoring room, I quickly pushed the door open and said, "Wait a minute!"
When I came in, I saw that Ning Qingyi was also in the monitoring room, still sitting in the staff's seat.
Seeing me coming, she stood up in panic, and then she put on a domineering look, "What are you doing here? It's so late, you're not here to forge evidence, are you?" She looked at her with aggrieved face again Gu Shisong said, "Mr. Gu, someone like you wouldn't mess around for her, right? There are so many pairs of eyes watching her."
Her eyes turned wild, she bit her lower lip tightly, and soon her eyes filled with tears.
Did Xiang Qing entrust her with a dream? Why does she look more and more like Xiang Qing?
It's a pity that Gu Shisong didn't look at her from the beginning to the end. He just stared at Assistant Fang with disdain, "Don't think that I don't know why Jin Han asked you to come. I don't mind if my people don't let me check the surveillance together today." Let’s promote your hotel well.”
There was a flash of embarrassment in Assistant Fang's eyes. Jin Han asked him to come because he didn't want anyone to cause trouble, but it seemed that the plan backfired.
Before he could speak, I said, "It doesn't matter if there's no surveillance. I can choose to call the police."
"Huh, there's no surveillance. Who do you want the police to arrest?" Ning Qingyi looked at me disdainfully.
Looking at her confident look, I knew that she was well prepared, but it was not necessarily impossible to find the surveillance camera, otherwise Special Assistant Fang would not have stopped her here.
I raised the corners of my mouth and smiled sincerely, "My painting uses special pigments, and the master also used special materials when mounting it. Therefore, anyone who has touched the painting will have residual components on their skin."
Sure enough, after listening to my words, Ning Qingyi unconsciously started to rub her palms, and when she saw me looking over, she put her hands behind her back again, "Don't lie, I have been studying painting for so long and I have never heard of such a thing. I think you just want to delay."
I snorted in my heart, with this kind of psychological quality, why do you still want to harm others?
The smile on my face deepened, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, not everyone can be Zhang Xiuqian's apprentice. How can you know about the paints my master has collected?"
Zhang Xiuqian also came here by himself and encountered this kind of thing, so he left a trick for me, which I used early.
Ning Qingyi opened and closed her mouth several times without making any sound, and the panic in her eyes became more and more obvious.
I took out my phone and looked at Assistant Fang, "Since you won't let me check the surveillance, then I'll call the police."
"Wait a minute." Special Assistant Fang and Ning Qingyi spoke almost at the same time.
Suddenly, Ning Qingyi became visibly proud. I knew the person who would support her was coming without even looking at her.
"Brother-in-law, sister, you are finally here. Stop letting this woman fool around, she wants to call the police! Doesn't she want to affect the reputation of the Jin family?" Ning Qingyi walked over and hugged Nan Yu's arm, but her eyes were looking at Jin Han.
"Shu Wanyi, I said I will handle this matter, you don't need to interfere too much!" Jin Han said coldly, accusingly.
I turned around and looked at him with a calm expression. I knew clearly that he was deliberately causing trouble for me, but I wasn't angry anymore. "I'm arguing with reason. Your people don't let us check the surveillance, and my paintings are not allowed to be checked." He's gone, can't I even take care of him?"
"Baby, you're right!" Gu Shisong stood beside me, raising his chin slightly arrogantly, "Of course it's reasonable to make trouble, but I have to make the matter bigger. I'll call my friends in the Trace Examination Department now. Since there is no surveillance, let professionals do the trace inspection. The criminal investigation team is definitely more efficient than the generals you have."
This time Ning Qingyi really couldn't pretend any longer, and shouted so loudly that her voice broke, "No! This will have a negative impact on the game! You can't call the police!"
I looked at her coldly. She was indeed brainless and couldn't find a good reason to stop calling the police.
But there was a smart man beside her. Nan Yu curled her lips unconsciously, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
The next second, she became a gentle and lovely big sister. She patted Ning Qingyi's hand gently, signaling her to calm down. What else did Ning Qingyi want to say? Nan Yu shook her head gently and looked at me with a smile, "Ms. Shu, it's really inappropriate to call the police. It will not only affect the competition, but also affect Jin's reputation. Then my uncle and aunt will have headaches again. And I heard that your master's health... you don't want him to be upset about such a trivial matter, right?"
