Chapter 394： Twists and turns

"Take that painting, I beg you to save my sister, save my family."

Yang Cheng finally heard something he wanted to hear, and waved to Hansen, asking him and Andrew to take the Eastern European stranger down for a slow interrogation. Only Yang Cheng and Zachary were left in the room.

Everything is quiet again. The room is still so dark, but the fallen easel and paint all over the floor indicate that this place has just experienced a ‘storm’.

Yang Cheng lifted up his trousers, knelt down and looked at Zachary who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, sobbing softly, and asked, "Would you like to talk about everything about you now?"

Zachary Hussein was silent for a while before he began to talk about his own experience, "I was born in a rich family in Iraq. Before the United States attacked Iraq, the Hussein family was also a famous family in China. Living in a worry-free environment, I don’t have to worry about my studies and focus on the ocean of art. I follow famous teachers to learn painting, and keep walking around the world’s major art exhibitions, museums, and auctions."

Speaking of this, Zachary stopped and changed his posture, slumped on the ground, not caring that the paint sticks to the bamboo-like legs.

While taking advantage of Zachary’s adjustment, Yang Cheng carefully recalled what Zachary said. It is not difficult to understand the origin of his painting skills. He lived in an artistic atmosphere when he was a child, and he has been under the guidance of famous teachers. , Coupled with innate talent, it is not surprising that he can have today's achievements.

Zachary sighed and continued, "I thought I would spend my whole life with the paintbrush in this life. I didn't expect an accidental opportunity. When I was traveling to Hungary, I visited a Jewish collector through a friend's introduction. I found these stunning works from him."

Yang Cheng's eyes flashed with brilliance, she pointed her finger at the wall behind her, and interjected, "Is it the real Leonardo?"

Zachary raised his head, looked at Yang Cheng with hollow eyes, nodded slowly, and said teasingly, "There are also paintings by Degas, Monet and other masters. They are all authentic. I have read them since I was young. There are countless famous paintings.

Especially for Da Vinci’s classic works, I have repeatedly studied and copied the painting "Mona Lisa" myself. I have painted the painting "Mona Lisa" no less than 100 times, so when I saw this painting "Mona Lisa" It’s only at a glance that it’s true. It’s just that the Louvre is so famous that the proud French don’t want to admit that the treasures he has exhibited for many years are knockoffs, or that it’s not the original Mona Lisa.”

Yang Cheng turned into an excellent cross talk actor, "What then?"

Zachary laughed at himself, "Then? Then I became greedy."

"Does the Jewish collector think these paintings are fake?" Yang Cheng asked with eyes widened in disbelief.

"This is not surprising. The older collectors are more stubborn. They have their own obsessions. So I spent less than one million dollars and accepted these masterpieces worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Speaking of this place, Zachary seemed to have relived his pride at the time, and it was also the first time Yang Cheng found a'weird' smile on his skull face today.

"Okay, what's next?" Yang Cheng continued to applaud.

"After that, I returned to my house in Baghdad and hid these paintings carefully. No one knew where they were placed, except me! Even my family didn’t know! I didn’t plan to change hands for money. Our home is not lacking. Money, I just want to close the door once in a while and enjoy the masterpiece of the master alone."

Yang Cheng knew that the turning point was coming soon.

"However, the good times did not last long. One year after I returned to Baghdad, the US-Iran War broke out in full. Because my father had predicted that, a few weeks before the war broke out, he took our family and relocated to Albania. This is also ours. The beginning of a family nightmare." Zachary unconsciously showed sadness, which shows how painful this memory is.

In fact, he didn't need to talk about the following things, Yang Cheng could make up for it himself.

It's nothing more than being targeted by a local warlord or gangster, being regarded as a fat sheep, and wanted to kill the corpses. Anyway, there are so many innocent corpses buried in the mountains of Albania, and it is not bad for Zachri's family.

As a result, at a critical moment, Zachary broke out that he still had a shocking wealth, temporarily saving the lives of his family.

As expected by Yang Cheng, Zachary’s narration confirmed his guess, “I lied that the gang leader’s wealth was in the United States, and the greedy **** once treated my family as a guest in order to obtain this amazing wealth. , I feel very satisfied with the delicious and delicious hospitality. In order to make my family live a good day, it doesn’t matter what I do."

If Zachary did not boast and tell lies, Yang Cheng would still admire his actions. You must know how the U.S.-Iraq war broke out, 12 years have passed, how Zachary was tortured alone and fought against the gang. Yong, while saving his family's lives, it is unimaginable that he has not handed over the painting.

"In the past ten years or so, while imitating the master’s paintings to deceive each other, I also tried to save my family members. Unfortunately, within a few years, my fraud was exposed and the gang leader threatened my sister. I had to surrender a picture of Monet's "Water Lilies", which strengthened the confidence of the gang leader. He was sure that my hands were indeed concealed with amazing wealth. I wanted to deceive them with my fakes, and it became more and more. difficult."

Yang Cheng secretly said that it is a pity that, like Leonardo da Vinci, Monet painted nearly 200 works with water lilies as the theme in his life, but this did not affect his artistic or monetary value in the least. Every present one will become the finale of the auction. Lots came on stage, setting off a scramble between collectors and the super-rich.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Cheng couldn't help but wonder, "So, now that group of people has completely lost patience and forced you to hand over the last few paintings, right? But didn't you say that the group dare not come here? Isn’t it a gang? Is it a gang who is afraid of the gang?"

Zachary mocked, "I learned only after I came here that the Albanian gangsters have a feud with the Italian Mafia. It just so happens that the neighborhood where I live is the Mafia territory."

Yang Cheng suddenly realized that if this is the case, it would make sense, "Then, do you know the specific address of your family members? I can send someone to rescue your family members and take them to the United States to settle."

Just now Zachary promised to give the "Mona Lisa" to Yang Cheng. In the face of such a generous'remuneration', it is basic to help him save people. In addition, he was ready to save people and sent the Buddha to the west. Help the Zachary family improve their lives, so that this genius can be better tied to "make money" for themselves, right?

Zachary's eyes aroused hope, "I know, I know, I will write to my house every once in a while, and my sister will tell me where they are in a whisper. Wait a moment."

Struggling to get up, ignoring the injury of his forehead, pulled open the easel, rummaged in a package in the corner for a long time, finally found a letter, then took out a piece of clean white paper, and randomly touched the ground with a paintbrush Paint, copy down a line of address and pass it to Yang Cheng.

"It's here, but it's been more than three months since this letter was sent. I don't know if they are well now or if they have changed their address." Zachary rubbed his hands nervously and said dejectedly.

Yang Cheng offered comfort in a timely manner. This is his own cash cow. Without the support of his only belief, Zachary’s physical condition at this time would definitely not last a month. “Zachary, believe me, just now Hansen, who came in with me, is the best special forces king in the world. He has performed countless extremely dangerous missions, just saving a few people. For him, it is just as simple as completing the job, even if he is moved. He also has countless ways to find out."

Zachary’s last hope rests on Yang Cheng. He is naturally convinced of what he said, or that he does not believe it, because he is standing on the edge of the cliff at the moment, or he will jump down and die, or he will gamble. The last one, obviously, he can only choose the latter.

"Thank you!" Without saying any more, the thousand-word painting has a thank you, which contains endless hope Yang Cheng walked out the door, beckoned to Hansen, and glanced at Andrew. There is no sympathy for the tortured, unformed Eastern Europeans.

"Boss, this is a peripheral member of a gang from Albania. I really can't help but punch it. Andrew knocked it all out with two punches." Hansen sneered disdainfully.

Yang Cheng nodded, "I also probably understand the matter. Andrew just came back. This time you have a hard time. Take your brothers to Albania and bring Zachary's family back to the United States safely. This is the address."

Stuffed Hansen the note that Zachary had just handed him, and ordered.

Hansen glanced quickly, and replied firmly, "No problem boss, as long as people are not dead, I will definitely bring them back."

Yang Cheng liked Hansen's performance of always having a high degree of self-confidence in the task, and patted Hansen on the shoulder heavily, and finally said, "Go, you must pay attention to safety."

After a pause, from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zachary who didn't know what he was thinking, and leaned over and said in a low voice, "If there is any difference, save your life first!"

Hansen pursed his mouth and was moved. In fact, it is not the first time that Yang Cheng has cared for their bodyguards like this, but he still can’t get used to it, so he can only do his job well to return Yang Cheng to them. Trust.

No nonsense, he solemnly delivered a military salute, turned around and stepped out the door with a strong step, told Andrew about it, and then left quickly.

When Hansen's back disappeared, Yang Cheng went back to Zhaka, "You can go with me first, you can't stay here any longer."

Regarding Zachary's arrangement, Yang Cheng already has a heartfelt plan. He is going to arrange Zachary to take care of Eiffel. In the future, he is also planning to arrange two people as partners to make big money for himself.
