Chapter 356 Box No. 12

Meng Yunzheng's words made Shu Yu and Zhao Xi's expressions turn serious.

Shu Yu was unfamiliar with some of the rules of the black market, so she could only ask them, "The other party has won the bid for that painting. When will the black market send it to them? When would be the best time for us to make our move?"

Meng Yunzheng was painting, and to avoid distracting him, Shu Yu turned to ask Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi said, "Once a customer in a private room bids for an item, the black market will deliver the item to the buyer's private room half an hour later. If the buyer is not interested in the remaining items, they can leave after receiving the item. If they are interested, they can stay in the private room until everything is over."

When the buyer leaves, the people from the black market will have several guards escorting them until they leave.

Shu Yu: "Half an hour later? It's been a quarter of an hour since the painting was auctioned off, hasn't it? If they get the painting and prepare to leave soon, we'll be too late..."

She looked at Meng Yunzheng, who was still painting. Although he was fast, it would still take a lot of time.

Shu Yu pursed her lips. "No, I have to go back to the third floor and try to keep an eye on the people in that private room. If they get the painting and are about to leave, I'll try to stop them. Young Master Meng, I'm entrusting the painting to you."

Meng Yunzheng nodded, his hands moving faster and faster. "Okay, which private room are you in on the third floor? I'll come find you after I finish painting. Yuan Shanchuan knows best what the painting looks like now, where it's damaged or stained. I'll have to ask him to recall it so I can fake it."

"Box number twelve."

After Shu Yu finished speaking, she nodded to the two of them and quickly walked up to the third floor.

There was still no movement in the buyer's private room, but the two people in the number twelve private room that she had reserved were already getting impatient.

When Da Niu finally saw Shu Yu return, he breathed a huge sigh of relief and quickly went to greet her, saying, "Why did you take so long? I almost thought something had happened to you."

Shu Yu placed the veiled hat she was holding on the table; she had asked the waiter for it when she went upstairs.

"I just met two friends. It just so happens that we need their help with this matter, so I discussed it with them, which is why I'm back late."

Upon hearing that someone was offering help, Yuan Shanchuan immediately asked, "Is the other party reliable?"

This is no small matter.

Shu Yu nodded, "Reliable, someone you know from the adults."

Da Niu breathed a sigh of relief; he had been under immense pressure. Stealing such crucial evidence from the black market was an incredibly difficult task for just the three of them.

Shu Yu handed a set of clothes to Yuan Shanchuan, "Fourth Uncle, these are clothes I borrowed from a friend, please change into them."

The clothes she had prepared for Yuan Shanchuan were too big; if he wore them out like that, it would look rather suspicious.

Fortunately, Zhao Xi and Yuan Shanchuan were about the same height, so the spare clothes he had were just the right size for Yuan Shanchuan.

Yuan Shanchuan quickly went behind the screen to change. He had lost a lot of weight recently, and the clothes were actually a bit loose on him, but much better than the previous one. With the belt on, it wasn't a big problem.

When he came out, he saw Shu Yu pressing down the shutters on the window and looking at the private room.

"Ayu, what should we do next?"

"Keep an eye on them for now, don't let them leave the black market until my two friends arrive."
