Hong Kong is in full swing

Wei Size smiled slightly, and at the same time, he quickly glanced at the boarding pass tightly held in Duan Fei's hand. "Oh? Master Duan, are you planning to go to Suzhou?"

After hearing this, Duan Fei immediately put the boarding pass in his hand back into his bag carefully. "Well, there are indeed some urgent business matters that need to be handled."

Wei Size knew that the Duan family did have some businesses and assets in SZ City, but based on his understanding of the character of the man in front of him and the current delicate situation, he always felt that the purpose of Duan Fei's trip this time was not simply for the family business.

So he asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I wonder if Young Master Duan has made full preparations to take your antiques and art collection company and make a big splash in the mainland market?"

Faced with such a direct and pointed question, Duan Fei simply smiled and didn't give a clear answer. "Then I'd like to know why Young Master Wei has been traveling all over the world recently. I heard that you've been on frequent business trips for several months now."

"Is there some major move brewing in the mainland?"

Wei Size neither chose to deny nor give an immediate affirmative answer. Instead, he maintained a mysterious expression and remained silent.

Although it seems friendly on the surface, in fact both sides have a tacit understanding.

When the two rivals met, they chatted like old friends.

Duan Fei and Wei Size nodded to each other with smiles on their faces.

The atmosphere became more relaxed when talking about some friends we knew in common.

At this time, Duan Fei said: "I heard that Alan wanted to join Puzhuo Company some time ago but you rejected her. To be honest, I was relieved at that time."

There seemed to be a subtle smile in his tone.

Wei Size raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of confusion, "Oh? Why?"

He was obviously curious about the other party's attitude.

Duan Fei smiled and said in an explanatory tone, "I originally thought you disliked me and that's why you didn't agree to my investment. It wasn't until what happened with A Lan that I realized you simply wanted to run the business on your own."

There was a hint of sudden enlightenment in his words.

Wei Size said self-deprecatingly without any concern, "Alan has money and nowhere to spend it, so she wants to spend it with me, but I'm notoriously stingy and selfish, so I didn't agree to let her in."

His smile seemed playful, as if he was laughing at himself.

Puzhuo has performed well in the past two years, so it is normal for Shangguan Lan to want to invest in it.

However, Yu Wan was very clear-headed. She did this not just to get a piece of the pie - there must be more complicated considerations involved.

The announcement reminding that boarding time has arrived interrupted the awkward and reluctantly friendly greetings.

Yu Wan finally ended the conversation with Duan Fei. After waving goodbye to him, she quickly packed her luggage and headed to the next inspection location with Wei Size.

They came to the Sanqin area, a land full of history and culture.

The destination of this trip is very special, it is a secret residence hidden among the mountains.

On the way, in order to relieve the fatigue brought by the long journey, Wei Size half-jokingly asked his companion: "Does Teacher Mei also live in the mountains?"

Yu Wan smiled and replied, "Maybe he lives in a mansion worth hundreds of millions."

There was a hint of humor in his words.

Wei Size echoed this, nodding his head in agreement. "It's certainly possible. 'Serving the Plum Blossoms' has fetched astronomical prices in just two auctions. It wouldn't be surprising if the artist chose to live in an incredibly luxurious residence."

Then he continued to ask, "I just wonder if this master will pick up his pen again to create new works one day in the future?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Wan had already gotten out of the car and was about to start the mountain climbing activity. "Not Qing Shen."

He turned to Wei Size, who was getting out of the car to pack his things, and said, "Let's go quickly. The sky is so gloomy. It's probably going to rain soon."

There was a hint of worry in his tone.

Wei Size looked up in the direction the other party pointed, at the thick dark clouds in the distance that were approaching rapidly. An inexplicable feeling of worry suddenly surged in his heart, and a very bad premonition quietly enveloped his mind.

"Let's go quickly."

When he whispered these words, there was already a hint of urging in them.

However, before the two reached their destination, heavy rain suddenly began to fall from the sky, instantly soaking the two people walking in front.

Faced with the sudden situation, they could only speed up their pace and hurried forward in the rain, finally stopping in front of an inconspicuous small courtyard.

I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment, making it feel particularly long.

The painter I was supposed to meet today was not at home.

At the same time, a sense of doubt and helplessness arose in their hearts.

After all, I was stood up at the agreed time, which was really unexpected.

The two looked at each other, and seemed to see some confusion in each other's eyes.

Yu Wan lowered her head, looked at the water that had already reached her shoes, and said, "There's nothing we can do. It's raining so hard outside, let's go inside and take shelter."

There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in his tone.

Wei Size nodded in agreement and quickly looked around to find a tool that could be used to pry the door open.

He also showed his courtesy while using it, and whispered, "I'm so sorry, I really had to do this, please forgive me."

After a while, the door was opened smoothly.

The two of them almost broke into the house in a panic and escaped from the stormy situation.

But what followed was not a relaxed mood, but an involuntary shiver, which was both a physical reaction to the cold and a sequelae caused by the uneasiness in the heart.

Feeling the chill in the air, Wei Size asked the people around him with concern: "Are you cold?"

Yu Wan shuddered subconsciously in response, "It's okay, not too cold."

But this is obviously a self-deceptive answer, because it is almost impossible to stay completely warm in such a harsh environment.

Without any extra words exchanged, Wei Size immediately turned around to look for something that could provide a little warmth.

Although he knew that he couldn't do much at the moment, he at least hoped to try his best to alleviate the discomfort of some of his companions.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke the silence - a rumbling sound like the sky falling down was heard.

Yu Wan became extremely nervous in an instant, and her eyes immediately locked onto the direction of the sound: the small hill in the distance was experiencing a terrible disaster.
