“Mr. Xu, please tell me everything. Don’t try to hide anything.”
“You should know that if I want, I can use another method to make you speak!”
Chen Jing was driving the Jeep, driving on a long stretch of winding road without street lights. Lu Xin sat obediently in the back seat. Next to him were Mr. Xu and Xu Xiaoxiao, who had just bandaged the wound on her wrist and had taken strong painkillers. The two of them were curled up in the back seat, far away from Lu Xin. There were three seats, but Lu Xin had taken two.
It could be seen that the father and daughter had suffered a great blow.
Behind the Jeep were four other vehicles, each of which was filled with fully armed soldiers.
The intertwining lights occasionally tore the thick night sky apart, illuminating the White snow.
Chen Jing spoke calmly as she drove. She had a kind of calmness that was in control of everything.
Mr. Xu, who was sitting in the back seat, hesitated for a moment. He seemed to want to say something to express his protest. However, when he saw Chen Jing driving in the front and Lu Xin sitting calmly beside him, he thought about the fate of his personal weapons ..
He sighed in a low voice and said in a hoarse voice, ” actually, I don’t know much .
“I … I’m just feeling sorry for the art pieces that are buried in the abandoned town …”
“Actually, actually, in the main city, there are many people who do the same thing as me. We only fork out money to fund some search teams so that they can enter the major abandoned towns and search for some art pieces. In this crazy era, what we lack the most is the pursuit of beauty. The chaotic era where a piece of moldy bread is more important than anything else should be over …” I’ve listened to your lecture during my training at qingang University, Chen Jing interrupted him. you can skip these feelings now.
Mr. Xu was stunned.
“I think she wants you to get straight to the point,” Lu Xin said.
Mr. Xu’s expression was a little complicated. After a while, he said dejectedly, ‘ I’ll regularly sponsor some search teams to find some valuable works of art. I’ll also give them remuneration and compensation according to the different works of art, and then … Then, through some of my personal channels, they will be transported to the main city for collection or for like-minded people .
Share with each other …”
“I think you understand that this kind of thing is not rare …” He added. Chen Jing nodded expressionlessly and raised her voice, “”Continue!”
“It’s the same this time …”
Mr. Xu was silent for a moment. I received news from the wasteland reclaimers outside that they had just returned from an abandoned city not long ago and found some good things. There was also a list attached to it. It included two National paintings, a set of well-preserved furniture made from Hainan scented Rosewood from the Ming Dynasty, a suitcase of Jewelry Necklaces, and. few Jade carvings.
“When did this happen?” Chen Jing interrupted him.
“This … It was two months ago …”
Mr. Xu was silent for a moment before he replied in a low voice, ” because I couldn’t get away at that time, I let Xiaoxiao go out and meet them. In fact, she has done it a few times in the past and is more familiar with it. She also knows the leader of the search team, but … However, I didn’t expect that something would happen to her so soon after she returned. I’ve been busy treating her and even the goods are piled up in bengbu port .
“You should feel lucky!”
Chen Jing coldly said, “”lf it wasn’t for her, these things would have been transported into the main city.”
Mr. Xu was suddenly speechless. After a long while, he let out a low sigh.
“It’s your turn, miss Xu,”
Chen Jing did not say anything more, but coldly pointed her words at Xu Xiaoxiao, who was snuggling in Mr. Xu’s arms.
At this time, the girl seemed to have no energy at all. She had lost a hand and had lost a lot of blood. If Chen Jing had not ordered someone to give her an injection, she would have fainted by now. Although she was still awake, she was sick and listless. When she heard Chen Jing’s words, she only glared at the back of Chen Jing’s head and looked away.
Even Lu Xin, who was standing beside her, found it strange that she still dared to resist.
Mr. Xu suddenly became a little anxious and hurriedly said, “”Xiaoxiao …”
Before he could persuade her, Chen Jing had already frowned impatiently.
Through the rearview mirror, she looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and her voice became a little low and penetrating.
“It’s hard to keep a secret in your heart, isn’t it?”
Lu Xin noticed that her pupils had turned red. so, you should tell me everything you know. Tell me all the secrets in your heart. Only then can I help you share those secrets, right? ‘
This time, Chen Jing’s words were much gentler and more detailed than the previous times.
He had seen the description of ” hypnosis ” in old movies. What Chen Jing did was similar, but the specific method was very different.
It was different from those hypnotizing people who needed to be done at the right time and with the right method.
Chen Jing, this was more like a form of forced hypnosis.
No matter how gentle her voice was, her method was very rough and direct.
Listening to her words, Xu Xiaoxiao’s expression suddenly became a little dazed. From the previous resistance, she slowly became absent-minded, as if she had suddenly fallen into a dream. She was clearly still awake, but it looked like she was sleepwalking. She muttered, “I … When I went to their camp .
the people in the search team are all dead …
Mr. Xu was slightly surprised and called out, “”Senior Colonel Chen .
“Let her speak!”
she’s currently in a state of deep hypnosis, ” Chen Jing said calmly. if you want to turn her into an idiot, try to disturb her.
Mr. Xu quickly shut his mouth. He was anxious and worried.
Xu Xiaoxiao blurted out everything, “”They … The way they died was very terrifying. ”
I saw a few members hugging each other without any clothes on. Some of them even had a pig head in their arms …
there were many bullet holes in their bodies, and the person who fired the gun was … He’s the leader of the search team.’
I know him. He’s called the insurance Association. He’s a very loyal person. He’s
He was the one who sat on the chair and shot his teammates, with the submachine gun at his feet … And he … He’s dead too. He shot himself in the chin with a pistol …”
I don’t know what happened to them, so I quickly went to check what they said before and found … They found that the things they had brought back from the city were still there, and … And there’s one more thing that they’ve never mentioned before …
“That’s a painting!”
“I … I got someone to pack everything up and bribed the old guard of the city patrol Army to transport them into the temporary warehouse of bengbu port. I organized and classified them there. I took the painting away because … Because I can see … They valued this painting so much that they thought it was valuable, so I decided to appraise its value, so …I removed the black cloth..
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing, who was in front, frowned.
Lu Xin, who was sitting in the back seat, also tilted his head slightly and listened attentively.
Mr. Xu wanted to speak a few times, but in the end, he only sighed and let his daughter speak.
He also knew that after confessing the whole thing, his path would definitely be over, and it would implicate many people. This was also the reason why he didn’t want others to know in the beginning. However, at this point, what else could he do?
“That painting … It’s so beautiful .
Xu Xiaoxiao was still in a state of confusion, but when she mentioned this painting, her almost unmoving pupils still lit up slightly.
In fact, there were faint signs of him breaking through this confusion..
