Sasha walked over, picked it up, and glanced at it. Seeing that the phone screen was not broken, she handed it back to him and said, "Why are you so angry? What do you mean you can't keep an eye on the child?"
Xie Qining avoided her gaze and said, "You heard everything?"
Sasha suddenly guessed something and asked, "Do you have illegitimate children outside? That shouldn't be the case!"
"What illegitimate children, where are you going with this?" Xie Qining denied.
"Then why did you mention the child running away just now?" Sasha saw that he was hiding something and glared at him, asking, "Xie Qining! What exactly is going on? Tell me clearly! Otherwise, I'll go tell your parents that you're keeping another woman and have a child outside!"
Xie Qining immediately grabbed her. "Sit down, I'll tell you. It's not a big deal."
Sasha sat down resentfully, looking like she was extremely jealous, and said with red eyes, "Hurry up and tell me."
Xie Qining recounted the whole story to her.
It turned out that he had people investigate and found out that Lan Yu had taken her adopted daughter abroad and planned to give birth there.
He felt even more uncomfortable thinking about it, so he spent a lot of money to hire people abroad to kidnap Lan Yu's adopted daughter, intending to threaten Lan Yu and Xiao Anjing into returning the two hundred million yuan they had scammed him out of.
If he succeeded, he wanted to deposit this money into his overseas account without his parents knowing, so he could spend it on his own entertainment.
Originally, they had already kidnapped their adopted daughter, but he never expected the child to escape on her own.
Several adults couldn't even keep track of one child, which infuriated him.
After hearing him out, Sasha cursed him for being too stupid in her heart, but said with jealousy, "It seems you still have feelings for your ex-wife and can't let her go, can you?"
"How is that possible? She's nowhere near as good as you, not interesting at all," Xie Qining argued. "I just can't swallow this when I think about how they calculated against me."
"Is that so?" Sasha pretended to be jealous, but in reality, she didn't care about these things and didn't dwell on it. She just said with a smile, "The child you had kidnapped is just their adopted daughter, not their biological daughter. How could you get that two hundred million?"
Xie Qining said, "You wouldn't know that. Xiao Anjing values this adopted daughter very much, treating her the same as his own daughter."
"Oh, it's a pity that the people you hired are too useless," Sasha mocked him. Then, she asked with interest, "Has Lan Yu given birth yet? Are they still abroad?"
Xie Qining said dejectedly, "It seems she gave birth to a daughter. They are all still there. What's wrong? Can you help me deal with them?"
"They are so far away from us, and you spent a lot of money but couldn't even handle a child. What can I do? You should just save your energy. If you want to get back the two hundred million, your father will find a way. We don't need to worry about it."
As she spoke, she yawned tiredly and got up to go to the bathroom, wanting to sleep. In her heart, however, she was contemplating Lan Yu's situation abroad and whether she could use this opportunity to lure Gu Susu abroad.
Xie Qining dejectedly slapped the chair. Not only did he fail this time, but he also lost a lot of money. He looked at the company documents on the table with a headache.
Jian Jiayi, who was managing him in the group, not only asked him to look at the files but also asked him to summarize these documents. How could he possibly do that? It was clearly intentional torment.
Sasha had already finished showering and came out of the bathroom. Seeing him still staring blankly at the documents, she asked, "What is this? Is this a task assigned by your father?"
"Something like that, but I can't do it. Why don't you take a look for me?" Xie Qining asked for her help.
Sasha lay down on the bed without even looking, saying, "Why don't you just search online? You can find anything online now. If you learn to do it yourself, you'll know how."
Xie Qining helplessly had to use his phone to search, and he didn't forget to say to her, "Don't fall asleep so quickly. Wait for me. Since you got pregnant, how long has it been since we did that? I miss you so much. Don't you miss me?"
Sasha turned over on the bed and looked at him, winking. "Of course I miss you, but you have work to do today, and I'm tired too. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Saying that, she covered herself with the quilt, but in her heart, she didn't want to have any intimate contact with him.
No matter how much Xie Qining craved it, he restrained himself when he thought of Jian Jiayi, that covetous woman, not wanting to be defeated by her.
...
It was late at night, and Yu Wei was still waiting at the gallery for the person who was coming to pick up the goods.
He had already booked his flight abroad for the next day, and his luggage was almost packed.
The painting was wrapped. He checked his watch; it was almost time for the appointment, and he thought the person should be here soon.
Just then, there was a knock on the gallery door. Yu Wei hurried to open it. After a brief exchange, it was indeed the person who wanted to buy the painting.
This person was introduced by an acquaintance; otherwise, they wouldn't have known he had such paintings for sale.
Yu Wei invited the person in, turned on the gallery's main lights, and said, "The painting you want is here."
The person took out a thick stack of cash. "The money is all here. Let me inspect the painting."
"Okay." Yu Wei skillfully unwrapped the painting, a confident smile on his face.
The person stared at the painting, their eyes not moving, and nodded in satisfaction. "Good, very good."
Yu Wei wrapped the painting again and said, "Here's the painting for you. Do you need me to help you put it in the car?"
"No, I can do it myself. Take the money and count it." The person said with a smile.
Yu Wei no longer stood on ceremony and picked up the stack of money. Just as he was about to count it, the buyer suddenly revealed their identity and said, "Don't move, police!"
"What?" Yu Wei was a little stunned, holding the money.
The police officer, disguised as the buyer, took out handcuffs and cuffed one of his hands. He came to his senses and said in a panic, "Are you really a police officer?"
The police officer showed him his badge again and said towards the door, "You can come in!"
Several people in police uniforms rushed in, looking around vigilantly.
The police officer who had cuffed Yu Wei tore open the painting's packaging and showed it to the other officers, saying, "Search the entire gallery. See if there are any more paintings like this. Find all of them."
"Yes." The other police officers immediately began searching.
Yu Wei calmed down and said, "May I ask what law I have broken? On what grounds are you arresting me and searching my gallery?"
The police officer holding him pointed at the indecent painting and said, "You are illegally trading obscene materials. Don't you know that?"
"This is art," Yu Wei argued. "You don't understand art at all. This kind of painting is common abroad and is nothing."
"This is not abroad," the police officer said sternly. "This is Lancheng! I may not understand art, but trading such things here is illegal. Please come back with us."
"This is excessive enforcement, and you are framing me!" Yu Wei protested loudly.
The police officer calmly said, "You have the right to hire a lawyer. Your lawyer will tell you whether we are acting according to the law."
The other police officers found several more similar paintings, as well as some unidentifiable white medicine.
