Victor's friend dropped them off at an intersection, and they stopped to wait for Victor's companions. Chu Ying looked around curiously, remembering that the Chu family also had a villa in this area.
Normally, no one lives in the Chu family's villa. Only when they decide to take a temporary vacation will they contact the locals in advance to do maintenance and cleaning. After they leave, they will lock the villa.
Chu Ying felt that if there was any danger, this villa at home could be used as a temporary hiding place.
Victor's two companions quickly rushed over. After they met each other, he said goodbye to his friends and then took Chu Ying with him to Dong Bofu's house.
Dong Bofu's house is almost located at the northernmost end of the North District, and outside the north wall of his house are lush green mountains.
According to Victor, Dong Bofu would ride his horse and take his hunting dogs to the North Mountain for a ride every three to five days. In the past, he would hunt for prey, but now there are fewer animals, so Dong Bofu would just carry his gun and ride around and then come down.
"Mr. Dongbo lives such a leisurely life!" Chu Ying was very emotional.
"Of course. The Dong Bofu family is not a new rich. They have accumulated wealth for generations and have never encountered any major troubles. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rich enough to rival a country!" Victor replied indifferently. This kind of wealthy man is completely from two different worlds than him.
Chu Xu agreed very much with Victor's statement. Her family was also quite wealthy, but it had just risen to prominence. That was why Chu Beichen and Su Nian were still busy running their business every day, while this Dong Bofu seemed to be very leisurely.
Because they had made an appointment in advance, Victor and a few others entered Dong Bo's house smoothly. His house had a large courtyard with many towering ancient trees. According to Victor, Dong Bo did not live in the city center because he liked the environment here.
The group met Dong Bofu in the hallway. His hair and beard were already white, but his face was as rosy as a child's. He was wearing a cashmere sweater and casual pants. When he saw Victor, he greeted him politely, "Victor, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your team has added a new member!"
Victor patted Chu Ying's shoulder and agreed politely.
Chu Ying originally thought that it was impossible for someone like Dong Bofu to have any intersection with Victor. Even if there was business, it might be that Dong Bofu casually conveyed it through his secretary. Unexpectedly, Dong Bofu met him in person.
It turns out that these dignitaries and nobles are very careful about their reputation. When they encounter some troubles, in order to avoid affecting themselves, they often look for people like Victor to come forward to solve them.
Dong Bofu stood up and led a few people to the gallery. "I have some collections here. A few days ago, I found that one of the paintings had been swapped. The original was stolen, and now the one I have at home is a fake!"
They soon arrived at the gallery, and Chu Ying was surprised to find that all the paintings hanging there were famous paintings. According to Dong Bofu, they should all be genuine, so the paintings here alone must be priceless.
Dong Bofu pointed to a painting of a plump woman and said, "This is a fake. I discovered it three days ago, and then I started investigating. The real painting is now in a warehouse in the port of Geneva. I guess they are waiting for the right ship to transport it away!"
Chu Ying was very confused. Since Dong Bofu was the victim, why didn't she call the police?
After leaving Dong Bofu's house, Chu Ying quickly asked Victor, who smiled and replied, "That's because Dong Bofu's paintings are not from a legitimate source!"
