Chapter 349 Shu Yu's Plans
Shu Yu sighed for a moment, and Yuan Shanchuan had already picked up some snacks and started eating. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, it was still obvious that he was very hungry.
After he had almost finished eating, Shu Yu continued, "So how did you get back here?"
Yuan Shanchuan took a big gulp of water to fill his stomach, and his voice became much stronger. "I've been on guard against them. Starting a few days ago, I secretly threw away all the medicine they sent me. So I only took half of the sleeping pills they gave me. I woke up on the way they took me out of the manor."
After he woke up, he caught up with the two guys who had thrown him out.
While they were getting off the carriage to relieve themselves, they hid behind it and thus made their way back to the black market with great difficulty.
It was because the black market was preparing to open in the next few days that the people in the villa were unusually busy, which allowed Yuan Shanchuan to take advantage of the situation and hide in the villa for three whole days.
In the past three days, he has secretly learned a lot of information.
I know this is the black market, I know today is the opening day, and I also know... that the former magistrate committed a serious crime and has been arrested, and the entire Jiangyuan County has changed hands.
Therefore, his bodyguard friend had deceived him. The painting did not contain any case files concerning the safety of the people of Jiangyuan County, but may even contain evidence of the former magistrate's crimes.
Yuan Shanchuan was understandably upset; his so-called friends had been using him from the very beginning.
But now, he's even more determined to get that painting back.
After listening to the whole thing, Shu Yu had a general idea of what was going on.
"What does that painting look like? Is it one of today's auction items?"
Yuan Shanchuan shook his head. "That painting is just an ordinary landscape painting. As for whether it's an item for today's auction, I don't know." After all, he couldn't openly inquire about these things; the people in the black market weren't pushovers either.
They were preparing for the market opening a couple of days ago, but they didn't expect someone to sneak into the villa, so they couldn't spare any time.
Now that the guests have arrived, even for the safety of these important guests, they have to check again and again.
That's how Yuan Shanchuan was identified. He managed to hide until now because the people in the black market didn't dare to make a fuss. It was quite a thrilling experience.
Shu Yu frowned and tapped the table lightly with her fingers.
Da Niu and Yuan Shanchuan exchanged a glance. The latter was about to speak when Da Niu shushed him and whispered, "Let A Yu think about it first. Fourth Uncle, you can eat some more."
Yuan Shanchuan was really hungry. He had already eaten most of the food on the table, but he still wanted to eat more.
Shu Yu pondered that now that the painting had been located, she had to find a way to take it with her. Otherwise, simply bringing Yuan Shanchuan back wouldn't be enough to clear his name of the crime.
But this is the black market, heavily guarded, especially for valuable items like these, which are kept under strict watch.
She now hoped that the painting was also one of today's auction items. That way, even if she couldn't get the painting out through the black market, she could try to get it from the buyers.
It might be a little easier.
Thinking of this, Shu Yu stood up and said, "I'll go ask which items were auctioned off just now."
They hadn't noticed before, but several items had already been sold at auction, and they didn't know if a painting was among them.
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she planned to go out and call her waiter.
However, just then, a voice suddenly came from downstairs, "The next painting is our number twelve auction item."
