The car stopped at the door of the gallery.

Ji Cong said in the front seat, "Mr. Zhou, that painting was bought from the boss here. I checked the boss's background. It was nothing special. It was probably a name, and there was someone else behind the scenes."

Zhou Yanhuai got out of the car and walked into the gallery.

This kind of place is not a place with a large flow of people, the interior is very quiet and there are almost no guests.

Zhou Yanhuai walked slowly in the corridor with paintings hanging. The paintings inside were of various types, with ordinary standards and value. Generally, real experts would not be placed on display outside.

The clerk came over and asked, "Does this gentleman want to see the painting?"

Ji Cong said at the back, "We want to see your boss."

As he said that, he handed over a business card.

The clerk glanced at him, nodded and walked away.

After a while, the clerk came over and asked, "Please come in with me, two."

As he said that, he led the two into the reception room inside.

The decoration of the inner room is very elegant, with incense burning on the tea table, and the woman sitting next to the table leisurely pouring tea into the cup.

Her side face looked very familiar, until the young woman slowly raised her head, Ji Cong said in surprise, "Xu...Miss Xu?"

Looking at Zhou Yanhuai with a faint face, Xu Zhining smiled slowly, "Long time no see, Yanhuai."

Zhou Yanhuai's eyebrows slightly condensed, "Tell me what's going on with painting."

"I haven't seen you for so long, and you just ask about paintings as soon as you open your mouth, but it's still so cold." Xu Zhining put down the tea cup and smiled at him, "If you sit down and taste tea with me, and ask how I've been doing in the past six months, I will be much less disappointed."

Ji Cong looked at Xu Zhining. Her appearance did not change much, but her face was no longer innocent. The eyes of Zhou Yanhuai were filled with straightforward hatred.

Ji Cong knew what was going on inside, so he comforted him, "Ms. Xu, more than half a year ago, Mr. Zhou sent you abroad to continue studying. You were seriously injured in a car accident. Mr. Zhou couldn't get out of his body and sent me over. But when I arrived at the hospital, you disappeared. We have been looking for you, but there is no trace of activity in your identity. You have changed your identity and lived in another life, right? Miss Xu?" httpρs://

Xu Zhining smiled coldly and rubbed his right hand, "If I hadn't left the hospital, what would you do to me? Continue to hypnosis and make me a madman with confusing consciousness, or be more direct and find another opportunity to kill me? Yanhuai, did the car accident really happen? I wasn't dead, are you very disappointed?"

She looked at Zhou Yanhuai and she broke his intentions. There was no special emotion on his face. There was no strong fluctuation towards her suddenly appearing, as if she was just an irrelevant person.

Zhou Yanhuai was not in the mood to talk nonsense to her and just asked, "Where did the painting I sold from here not long ago come from?"

Xu Zhining refused to answer and said, "Yanhuai, you used to care about me, but now you don't want to pretend?"

"Answer me!" he said angrily.

Xu Zhining looked at his cold look and smiled, "Okay, I'll answer you, I was just a poor student at that time, and only a batch of paintings sent by me, and my understanding is limited. However, there are always people who are closer to Jiang Ou and have more inside information than me."

"Who is the boss behind you?"

Xu Zhining smiled, "Yanhuai, you sponsored me to study and held a painting exhibition. I have told you everything I know in the past. You always say that you are just a deal with me and don't want to owe me. So have we already cleared up? Now I don't have the obligation to cooperate with you."

Ji Cong mediated with her, "Miss Xu, you must have misunderstood Mr. Zhou. The car accident was just an accident. Mr. Zhou's original intention was to send you abroad to continue his studies. Think about it carefully. Mr. Zhou's influence on you is not just a financial support. You can study abroad, enter the best platform to hold art exhibitions, and become a well-known new painter. These opportunities have really changed your destiny."

"Yes, it changed my destiny." Xu Zhining stood up and walked to Zhou Yanhuai. She raised her hand and wanted to touch his arm.

Zhou Yanhuai avoided it without even thinking about it.

Xu Zhining smiled without warmth, "I still said the same thing. If you think you are just a deal with me, then I don't owe you, and I don't need you. I don't need to answer your questions again. If you say that you are not a deal with me, maybe, for the sake of your relationship, I can consider telling you something you want to know."

Zhou Yanhuai glanced at her and turned his head to leave the gallery.

When they returned to the car, the two drove away. Ji Cong thought, "Mr. Zhou, Xu Zhining himself does not have the connection or ability. If a new identity disappears under our noses, someone will definitely help her."

Zhou Yanhuai guessed, "She had had contact with Chen Xiuxiao before, and her new identity should have been arranged for her by Chen Xiuxiao in the morning."

That time he drank unclean wine at Chen Xiuxiao's banquet and stayed at the Zhou family at night. Xu Zhining took the opportunity to enter his room. If he hadn't noticed it in time, the trap would have been enough to make him disgusted for the rest of his life.

There is nothing like this coincidental in the world, those two people must be communicating with each other.

"Then will it be Chen Xiuxiao, the boss behind this gallery?" Ji Cong felt that the current situation was very complicated and dangerous. "Mr. Zhou, I will send someone to pay close attention to Xu Zhining, and maybe I will find Chen Xiuxiao's traces."
