Soul Painter

boston.

When Lawrence picked up Gao Fan from the airport, it was the day after seeing him off.

Gao Fan’s entire journey took roughly thirty hours. Except for the time spent on the plane, it only took a few hours on CULA Island, but the whole process was quite thrilling. Function, Gao Fan will probably be taken away by Luc Villiers.

But Gao Fan didn't blame STK, he believed very much that STK wouldn't intentionally harm him, because if STK really wanted to, there would be too many opportunities. People are surprised.

Lawrence didn't know all this.

He just watched the cheerful Gao Fan get off the plane with a painting in his hand.

"You brought it back." Lawrence also had excitement in his tone.

"Redemption" is the beginning of Govan's legend in the history of modern art, and the beginning of the world's real recognition of the miracle of demonic art created by Govan. It also has special value and meaning for Lawrence.

"It's back to its original owner~" Gao Fan handed the carefully packaged painting to Lawrence.

"How much did it cost?" Lawrence asked.

"It didn't cost any money, just give it to me." Gao Fan said.

"Mr. Luc Villier is so generous," Lawrence couldn't help but marvel, for he knew who had auctioned off this painting of "Redemption".

"It's not just generous." Gao Fan also sighed.

...

Return to the villa on the Charles River.

On the way, I passed the red Boston Museum. This museum stands on the banks of the Charles River, next to the painter's villa. The museum houses "Bostonians". Now it is the most popular tourist destination for Boston citizens and tourists. one.

Although today is not a holiday, there is still a queue at the entrance of the venue, with citizens or tourists waiting to visit this spiritual symbol of Boston, a miracle.

"LP still disagree?" Gao Fan asked Lawrence when he saw the red house by the river in his car.

Mentioning this, Lawrence smiled wryly and shook his head. Not only did he disagree, it was absolutely impossible.

"Where are those from Dongying?" Gao Fan asked again.

"Detective Sanbao intends to accept your commission, but the time will wait until one month later. He is unable to get out of a case. As for Mr. Ryuzaki, he said that unless you spend 10 billion US dollars to hire him, you will not talk about it. said Lawrence.

The two devil-born investigators who were supposed to belong to the STK Tokyo team changed their life trajectory because of the existence of Minase Harumi being erased. They did not join STK, nor did they become investigators. Now Sanbao is a well-known detective. Saki is a fraudster who is a luxurious and rich man who works in the major underground casinos in Japan.

They returned to the path of life that had not touched Harumi Minase.

"Oh, it really looks like them." Gao Fan thought about how they got along in Tokyo. Of course, most of them were investigators from the Tokyo team who were subjected to the mysterious torture brought by Gao Fan. These reactions were also in line with Gao Fan's impression of them. .

"Accept Mr. Ryuzaki's request of 10 billion." Gao Fan said.

ah? Lawrence was taken aback.

"But the condition is to pay half of the deposit first, and wait for him to hand over "Bostonian" to me, and then pay the other half of the final payment." Gao Fan said proudly.

"...Do I want to remind you that all your current assets do not have this amount? And most of them have become real estate around the world, gold and bonds in bank vaults, and the liquid cash part alone is less than $100 million," Lawrence said.

There is only one source of Gao Fan's assets, which is selling paintings, but his accumulative income from selling paintings does not exceed 5 billion US dollars, which is already quite a lot, but it is too ignorant for Gao Fan to open his mouth to give away 10 billion high... thick...

Just as he was thinking about this, Lawrence suddenly saw Gao Fan take out a file folder from the back compartment of the backpack where the computer was placed.

Folded and folded, the folder looked shabby, like a personal dossier in the hands of an interviewer who had been rejected a hundred times, full of listless, pathetic, unwelcome feelings from the world.

"Here, 10 billion." Gao Fan said casually after handing the portfolio to Lawrence, as if what he handed to Mr. Broker was just a set of pancakes.

ah? Lawrence hurriedly took the file, opened it, took out the file and glanced at it for a while, then asked in surprise, "San Zhuxiong's property?"

Although Sanzhuxiong is dead, his status as a pillar has not been deprived, so the history about him still exists in Dongying.

At that time, the 10 billion immortality reward that Gao Fan asked him for painting remained in Gao Fan's backpack. This backpack accompanied Gao Fan in Kyoto, Tokyo, Paris, and back to Boston. During the period, there were countless hardships. There were many dangers, but Gao Fan was never really endangered, so the backpack followed him all the time, and the huge wealth placed in the last mezzanine of the backpack lay quietly there all the time, no one disturbed him.

"That's right, painting money." Gao Fan said.

"Why didn't you give it to me earlier!" Lawrence immediately took out all the contents of the portfolio, then nodded while looking at it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he could almost see the golden "$" sign.

After a long time, Lawrence raised his head, but Gao Fan was gone.

Got home.

Gao Fan got out of the car and went home first, knowing that Lawrence was in the highlight moment of his life, so he didn't bother him.

While waiting for Lawrence to catch up with Gao Fan waving this folder, Gao Fan and Anna were chatting, the content of the chat was roughly "you are back" and "I'm back", and the two of them were like an old married couple. They greeted each other lightly, but at this moment Lawrence rushed over with a look of excitement.

"Little brother, this asset is worth more than 10 billion U.S. dollars!" Lawrence said, "The large amount of gold reserves here has risen by one-third! But the dollar has been depreciating!"

Anna was taken aback by Lawrence's madness.

"It's okay, Mr. Manager is in good shape." Gao Fan said with a smile.

"Little brother, if I didn't mention Ryuzaki's request of 10 billion US dollars, wouldn't you still give this to me?" Lawrence raised the document bag in his hand and asked.

"In short, it's for you." Gao Fan said helplessly.

At this moment, Gao Fan looked at Lawrence's excitement, and suddenly felt a sense of alienation from reality. If his character was indifferent to money before, then after learning the truth of the world, he really regarded money as a blank sheet of paper, so he also I feel even more incomprehensible to Lawrence's fanaticism.

"It will take me a while to convert these into US dollars, but I might give them directly to Mr. Ryuzaki..." Speaking of this, Lawrence showed a distressed expression again, this is 10 billion, really want to give it all to him?

Waiting for Lawrence's attention to return to his eyes, Gao Fan disappeared again.

"Where's Gao Fan?" Lawrence asked Anna.

"Hiding, he said you don't bother him during this time, or he will jump off the building." Anna said.
