Chapter 248 Li Yihe Returns to China
± As soon as the man finished speaking, a man in his forties walked over and took down the unnamed oil painting on the wall as he had said. -- --
Li Yihe was stunned, very confused by the other party's behavior, and then asked: "What do you want to do?"
The tall man smiled modestly and said, "I just painted this picture a few days ago. Since you like it, I'll give it to you."
Li Yihe opened his mouth and asked in surprise, "Are you Mr. Honoré?"
The gallery she is currently working in is a private gallery, and all the works belong to an artist named Honoré.
The name Aureliano is well-known in French and European art circles. As early as the 19th century, its owner, Honoré Daumier, was already a renowned European artist, and the current owner, Aureliano Monet, is even more famous throughout France.
The person who could casually decide to give away a work in a gallery was naturally the gallery's owner, Aureliano Monet.
"Yes, it's me," Oreno replied politely. "I just painted that picture two days ago and haven't had time to name it yet. I wonder if the young lady has any good suggestions."
Li Yihe shook his head without hesitation and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it. It's too expensive."
Although art is priceless, given Oreno's reputation, this not-so-outstanding work is worth tens of millions, and it is in short supply.
Li Yihe naturally couldn't just accept such a big gift from a stranger.
"It's okay." Oreno said with a smile, "It's rare that Miss likes my humble work. If possible, I can take you to visit the gallery."
"Um……"
Li Yihe hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "You can visit. But I can't accept this painting."
This gallery has several precious works from the last century. With this introduction by Oreno, it would be easier to understand the information behind some of the paintings.
Many paintings may seem unremarkable at first glance, but they need to be appreciated in the context of the artist's background and the history of the time.
Oreno didn't answer Li Yihe's question directly, but nodded and said, "I can show you around right now."
At this moment, the man in his forties came over with a painting tube. Oreno took the tube in his hand, but he did not hand it to Li Yihe directly. Instead, he prepared to introduce another painting on the wall to him.
Just as Oreno was about to speak, the cell phone in Li Yihe's bag vibrated.
Li Yihe apologized, "Sorry, I have to take a call first."
After she came to France, she applied for a new phone card. No one knew the number except her two best friends from school.
"It's okay." Oreno nodded with a smile.
Li Yihe took out his phone and walked to a less crowded area. He picked up the phone and said, "Lele, what's going on so late? It should be midnight over there!"
"Yihe, what are you doing?" Lele's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm visiting a gallery." Li Yihe said with a smile, "What can I do for you? This is an international call, otherwise I'll call you."
"No need." Lele said, "There is something I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"It's that Tang Shuo..." Lele said hesitantly.
The smile on Li Yihe's face disappeared instantly, and he asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Lele gritted his teeth and said, "I just saw the news. The Nanhui Club was found by the police for suspected drug trafficking, and the club owner was arrested. He beat a policeman to death and has now been arrested."
Lele has already noticed that there is something amiss in the relationship between her best friend Li Yihe and Tang Shuo, and her intuition tells her that Li Yihe's sudden departure from Yanjing to France must be related to Tang Shuo.
When watching the news before going to bed at night, Lele accidentally saw what happened at the Nan Guo Club. At first, Lele didn't care, but then he thought that the two people in Nan Guo sounded familiar, so he read the news carefully and found Tang Shuo.
Lele then remembered that when Li Yihe introduced Tang Shuo, he said that he was the owner of a club. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to give Li Yihe a call.
After listening to Lele's description, Li Yihe's expression froze instantly. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately ran towards the door of the gallery.
Based on her understanding of Tang Shuo, she knew that something like the drug trafficking in the club must have been someone deliberately framing Tang Shuo.
However, given Tang Shuo's temper, it is really possible that she would arrest and beat someone to death. How could she care about studying abroad in a gallery now?
She must return to the country immediately to save Tang Shuo!
Oreno, who had been waiting for Li Yihe beside the work, saw him rushing out and immediately asked, "Is there something urgent? I can take you there."
However, Li Yihe, whose mind was full of Tang Shuo, turned a deaf ear to his words.
Seeing this, Oreno frowned and waved to the side. Two men dressed in black immediately came over.
"Follow her and make sure to hand this painting over to her." After handing the painting tube to the two men, Oreno instructed, "Check her identity and be gentle."
"yes."
The two men in black nodded, took the painting tube and immediately chased after him.
Oreno looked at the back of the man in black as he left, frowned and fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
Bish looked at the other person and asked, "Does the young master like this woman?"
"That's right." Oreno nodded and said, "Get the car ready. I need to go home."
————
Not long after Tang Shuo was placed in solitary confinement, a police officer came over, opened the iron gate, and said, "Come out! You're being transferred out."
Tang Shuo didn't care about this matter. He smiled and followed the police out. At this time, several armed police officers in ordinary training uniforms were standing at the door waiting for him.
After signing two documents, the armed police sternly forced Tang Shuo into an approaching jeep. Chi Donglai died.
Immediately afterwards, everyone left the police station.
As soon as Tang Shuo got in the car, he found that something was wrong. This car was specially made and was longer than an ordinary jeep.
Moreover, it is not difficult to hear from the heavy sound of the armed police closing the car door that the car's glass and door panels have been specially treated, and its bulletproof ability is better than that of ordinary bulletproof cars.
What surprised Tang Shuo the most was that these two armed policemen were not only armed with live ammunition, but their rifles were also loaded.
Tang Shuo stretched his neck and asked, "Which detention center are we going to?"
“…”
The two armed policemen ignored Tang Shuo's questions and didn't even turn their heads, as if Tang Shuo beside them hadn't said anything at all.
Seeing this, Tang Shuo decided not to make himself look bad. He sighed and closed his eyes to think.
He thought carefully in his mind how he should deal with the situation if these two armed police officers suddenly attacked him.
After the car drove out of the city, an armed police officer nearby took out a hood and was about to put it on Tang Shuo.
Tang Shuo frowned and asked, "Is it okay not to wear it?"
A dark-skinned armed police officer said, "No! This is the rule."
Tang Shuo nodded as if resigned to his fate, allowing the armed police to put the hood on his head. However, his body remained tense, ready to take immediate action if he heard any unusual sound.
This was a method he would only use when he had no other choice, because he knew that if he took action at this moment, he would have no way out even if he had been wronged before.
Fortunately, the worst situation that Tang Shuo expected did not happen. After driving for nearly two hours, the car finally stopped.
Tang Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. After being taken out of the car, he found his thoughts a little funny.
Judging from the current situation, Song Wenchang should have united with many of his enemies, such as the Liu and Li families...
Even if all these people were combined, they wouldn't necessarily have the power to manipulate these armed police. This was all just speculation. But what was certain was that the other side would have other tricks up their sleeves, so they would have to be cautious.
When the hood on Tang Shuo's head was taken off, Tang Shuo's brows raised unconsciously.
The place these two armed police officers brought him to was not a detention center, but a prison!
