“An oil painting?”

Lu Xin was slightly taken aback as he cast a curious glance at his sister.

The fat manager Liu was standing right beside him, so he couldn’t speak to his sister directly.

The younger sister was excited because she had just seen some little secrets, so she was very cooperative and said, ‘”‘That’s right. I just heard the woman tell the old man that she became like that because she saw the oil painting. The old man seemed a little nervous and quickly asked her which one it was. She said that it was from the batch that was brought back from the search team outside the city.”

“It’s covered with a piece of black cloth, and it’s only set in a simple wooden frame.”

they also said that when they went to pick up the goods, the search team was already dead. It seems like they had an internal conflict and killed each other with guns. The scene was very chaotic. The oil painting was at the scene, and it was not on the list they gave at the beginning …

Lu Xin nodded slowly and turned around to give his sister a look.

He meant, continue to listen!

The younger sister nodded excitedly and happily crawled back.

With a gentle breeze, her shadow disappeared.

Lu Xin, on the other hand, pondered for a moment before suddenly saying,

This Mr. Xu seems to be very rich.”

The fat man beside him was slightly startled, but he replied with a smile,

Even in the main city, Mr. Xu has a high status.”

“I saw a lot of nice paintings and statues in his living room,” Lu Xin said with a nod.

“Mr. Shan, you know about art too?” the fat manager Liu was a little surprised.

I’ve learned a little from my teacher when I was young. Lu Xin nodded. I only know about it.

“This is already very impressive.”

The fat manager Liu nodded his head and smiled, ” you’re right. Mr. Xu should be one of the few people who still understand the value of art after the catastrophe and has dedicated his life to searching for and protecting them! as you know, everyone is working hard to rebuild civilization and order, and art is an indispensable part of our culture. People are paying more and more attention to art before the catastrophe, but during the early period of civilization’s collapse, these things were once regarded as worthless and thrown in abandoned cities like garbage .

to put it bluntly, at that time, many people didn’t think that civilization had a chance of rebuilding.

“Then how does this Mr. Xu collect art?” Lu Xin asked.

The fat manager Liu glanced at Lu Xin and smiled, ” I’m not sure about that. However, if Mr. Shan is also interested in art, we can keep in touch in the future. Whether you want to sell or collect them, I have some connections …

Lu Xin only replied with a noncommittal “hmm.”

In his heart, he had gradually understood some things.

If he was not wrong, the art that the Xu father and daughter were collecting was illegal.

There were many search teams in the satellite town, and this was the highest-paying but also high-risk job in qingang city.

The mission of these search teams was to explore the old cities and collect usable resources.

There were many types of search teams, and they were formed in many ways.

Some were commissioned by the green Harbor city’s administrative office, some by companies, and some by private big shots.

The search team that the father and daughter were talking about was to help them collect all kinds of art pieces?

From the conversation that his sister had just told him, he could guess that the search team had obtained what they wanted. So, Mr. Xu’s daughter, Xu Xiaoxiao, went to receive it. However, when she arrived, she found that the search team had all died. At the scene, they found a painting that was not in their plan, but she still brought it back.

It was also because she had seen this painting that such a big problem had occurred.

In this case, it made sense.

Just as Mr. Xu had said, the main city’s security was extremely tight, and it was very difficult for any special contamination source to enter the main city from the outside world. Moreover, his daughter had no chance of coming into contact with these special contamination sources. So, how did she get contaminated?

The reason was very simple. Naturally, she had come into contact with him when she was leaving the city …

Just as Lu Xin was deep in thought, the door to the living room opened.

Mr. Xu appeared at the door with a walking stick in his hand. He looked a little nervous, but he hid it well. He smiled and nodded at Lu Xin. it’s all thanks to you, Mr. Shan Bing. My daughter has recovered, but she’s still very weak. In order to let her get better care, I’m going to take her back to the main city overnight to recuperate … As for the reward this time, I will definitely.

Lu Xin took a look and saw Xu Xiaoxiao leaning on the sofa through the door.

She had just been cured and should be extremely tired, but she kept looking outside nervously.

Her eyes gave people a faint sense of fear, but also an unusual sense of greed.

“It’s not the time to collect payment yet,” Lu Xin said, shaking his head. Mr. Xu was slightly stunned and said hesitantly, “”Mr. Shan Bing, you mean .

“You guys haven’t really settled your problem yet!”

the source of the pollution hasn’t been dealt with yet. How can I collect money now? ” Lu Xin replied.

“This … ”

Mr. Xu looked at Lu Xin’s sincere face and was slightly surprised. He paused for a moment before chuckling. hehe, thank you for your kind intentions, Mr. Shan Bing, but I don’t think you need to go through so much trouble. I just asked my daughter in detail. She has not come into contact with any strange things. It’s just that she had been under too much pressure before, so she had such a rebellious experience …

don’t worry, Mr. Shan Bing. This matter will end here. Even if there are any problems, I won’t blame you.

he paused for a moment and continued, ” Mr. Shan Bing, you can write this in your report. There won’t be any problems!

Upon hearing his words, the fat manager Liu beside him also felt a little strange.

“Since Mr. Xu has said so, the Commission can be ended here …” He quickly interrupted with a smile.

The reward this time …. He turned to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin’s brows furrowed as he listened to their conversation.

His younger sister appeared silently behind Mr. Xu and dangled from the door frame. She smiled at Lu Xin and said, ” brother, brother, they were just discussing about secretly taking the oil painting that she had hidden back for research

she said that the painting was very valuable and that no one should know about it …

Lu Xin’s brows furrowed.

Looking at Mr. Xu and the fat manager Liu’s smiling faces, he slowly shook his head. “No, I can’t.”

“You must take your work seriously.”

Then, he raised his head. The surrounding lights in the villa shone on his face, making his face shine with different shades of light. His eyes in the shadows looked over quietly, and his expression was unusually serious. since I’ve accepted your Commission and received your money, of course, I have to completely clean up your mess, whether it’s the contaminated people or the source of the pollution.

it’s written clearly in the previous contract that you’ll only get this 100000 Yuan if you’re completely cured, isn’t it? ”

The atmosphere became a little strange.

Mr. Xu and the fat manager Liu were a little stunned. They felt that there was something wrong with the interpretation of the contract.

Meanwhile, Lu Xin watched them quietly.

He couldn’t understand. He knew that it was these dangerous things, but he still had to lie and hide them .

This Xu family father and daughter, are they crazy?
