There were dozens of similar news reports, all praising Zhao Qingya and saying that a new and talented painter had emerged in the world!
With the support of the media, Zhao Qingya was riding high for a time.
Now that Li Yi has bought 108 paintings by Zhao Qingya, there are many follow-up matters to be explained and handled.
After everything was settled, it was already 7 p.m.
Only Zhao Qingya, Zhao Qingchun, and Li Yi remained at the art center.
Li Yi: "It's already seven o'clock, let's go get some food together."
Zhao Qingchun: "Okay, who's treating?"
Zhao Qingya said, "It's my treat. Li Yi helped me so much today, so I have to treat him!"
Li Yi: "Alright then, I'll respectfully accept your offer."
Since someone else was treating, and he didn't have to spend his own money, Li Yi was naturally more than happy to accept.
When they went out to eat, Li Yi didn't stand on ceremony and ordered a bunch of dishes, costing Zhao Qingya over 500 yuan.
However, Zhao Qingya wasn't angry. She had over 30 million yuan in her account, which was more than enough.
After dinner, it was already nine o'clock at night, and it was dark.
Zhao Qingya: "It's so late. Sister, why don't you and Li Yi take a taxi back to Shancheng University together? I'll take a taxi back to school by myself."
Li Yi thought for a moment, then decided to spend more time with Zhao Qingya and said, "It's okay, it's not far from your school anyway. Qingchun and I will take a taxi to send you back to school first, and then we can go back."
Zhao Qingchun also said, "Yes, sister, this way we can talk for a while longer."
Zhao Qingya agreed, saying, "Okay then. Let's take a taxi."
The three of them took a taxi and arrived at the entrance of Shancheng Art University in about ten minutes.
After getting off the bus, Zhao Qingchun and her sister were reluctant to part. They exchanged a few more words before getting back into the bus and leaving.
However, they hadn't driven more than twenty meters when Zhao Qingchun saw in the rearview mirror that Zhao Qingya had been pulled into a van.
"Li Yi, something terrible has happened! My sister has been pulled into a car and taken away!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi turned around and saw the van driving away in the opposite direction.
"Driver, turn around and chase after that van!"
The taxi driver overheard their conversation. This guy was trying to rob someone in the street; he didn't dare chase after him.
If I really chase after him, those people will definitely find him by his license plate number and then retaliate against him.
It's better to avoid trouble!
He just drives a car every day to earn a living and doesn't need to be targeted by bad people.
Thinking of this, the taxi driver said, "Sorry, I'm just a small driver, how could I dare to chase after their car!"
Zhao Qingchun panicked and said, "What should we do? It's too late to call the police now. Li Yi, think of something!"
Zhao Qingchun watched helplessly as her sister was kidnapped, and she was on the verge of tears.
She knew it must be because her sister's painting sold for 36 million today, and after the news was reported, it attracted the attention of people with ill intentions.
Li Yi realized that he couldn't rely on the taxi.
"Sister-in-law, could you pay the taxi fare? I'll go down and chase after them."
Zhao Qingchun: "Okay! Huh? You're going to chase after it? How could someone possibly catch up with a car?"
However, before Zhao Qingchun could finish speaking, Li Yi had already gotten out of the car and chased after her.
Li Yi moved with incredible speed.
The van had just started moving and wasn't going very fast.
Li Yi sprinted away!
At the same time, he brought up the system panel in his mind to view the attribute data.

Zhao Qingchun turned around and saw that Li Yi was getting closer and closer to the van.
Zhao Qingchun was stunned!
The taxi driver was stunned when he saw it in his rearview mirror.
"That person runs way too fast!"
The people in the van had obviously also noticed that Li Yi was chasing them.
"Boss, something's wrong! There's someone chasing us!"
"Idiot! Do you think people can catch us?"
"Boss, this guy's faster than Usain Bolt, and he's getting closer and closer to our car. What do we do?"
The leader, a man with a scarred face, looked quite sinister. Looking out the car window, he saw someone running at full speed, the distance between them and the car rapidly decreasing until it was only a dozen meters away.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this? Damn it, accelerate! Step on the gas!" Scarface roared.
"Okay, boss, I've floored the gas pedal."
All that could be heard was a rumbling sound, and the van sped up considerably.
Inside the van, Zhao Qingya also noticed Li Yi chasing after the car. She was deeply moved, but her newly ignited hope was extinguished once again.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"Help!"
Zhao Qingya knew she couldn't just sit and wait to die, so she shouted and yelled.
"Smack!"
Scarface slapped Zhao Qingya across the face, then brandished a sharp knife in front of her neck, saying, "What are you yelling for? If you yell again, believe me, I'll stab you right now!"
