After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!
Chapter 54 Catching the Thief
"So, you're here." A pleasant voice called out.
Lin Gui looked over and exclaimed, "Wow, another handsome guy!"
Upon seeing who it was, Lin Shufeng stepped forward and hugged them, saying, "It's been a long time! What brings you here?"
"Haha, you didn't invite me on purpose." The voice was teasing.
"Ahem, don't expose me. Come here, this is a famous painter who has held many exhibitions both domestically and internationally. His name is Li Shi'an."
After a brief introduction, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, perhaps because everyone had just joined.
[Hmm, this is the person who spread rumors that my second brother plagiarized. He looks quite respectable.]
[Third or fourth mistress, investigate, I want to see.]
Upon learning this information, Lin Shufeng's expression remained unchanged. After what had just happened, his acceptance level had increased considerably, and besides, they were just business friends.
Lin Shufeng continued chatting with the other person, occasionally discussing their recent situations.
Lin looked around but couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he decided to just stay and watch the show. Hehe, once he was done, he'd go talk to Chen Yanfei about it.
On the surface, Li Shi'an and his second brother are rivals, but they are actually quite good friends in private. However... Li Shi'an has always harbored resentment towards his second brother.
[Li Shi'an had a crush on a girl who had previously dated his second brother but was dumped badly. They only dated for a few days, but the girl really liked his second brother and kept begging to get back together. In the end, she drove herself crazy and threatened to commit suicide, but his second brother wasn't the type to give in. In the end, the girl was sent to the hospital and was later taken away by her family.]
Therefore, Li Shi'an hated his second brother to the core and had been silently waiting for the right opportunity to destroy him.
【Ah this】
Lin Guiyi couldn't say whether it was his second brother's fault or not. His second brother hadn't done anything wrong during their relationship; it was a normal breakup. But to say that his second brother was a scumbag was also understandable. Sigh, what a tragedy.
It's definitely better to just like one person honestly; then there won't be so many problems.
Lin Shufeng's throat tightened. He was always very good to people he dated, providing them with emotional support, and even giving them a large sum of money after a breakup.
He remembered the person Lin Guiyi mentioned, as he had a deep impression of him.
He couldn't help it; he's the kind of person who likes to get bored easily, and he was actually quite nice to that girl back then, so it's best to part ways amicably.
He even called an ambulance at the time. After the girl was picked up by her parents, he sent her a large sum of money and even hired a psychologist. Through this consultation, he learned that the girl was much better now and had a new boyfriend.
Lin Shufeng touched his nose guiltily, glanced at Xu Qiuye, and said he would treat Qiuye well from now on.
Lin Xiaodi rolled his eyes. That womanizing second brother of his, he didn't know how so many girls liked him.
[Ahhh, today, Li Shi'an already sent someone to steal Second Brother's artwork.]
[He had already contacted marketing accounts, and the headline was already prepared: "Rich Second Generation Uses Power to Plagiarize Others." He even hired online trolls to influence netizens.]
[Oh my god, if that's the case, those who resent the rich and those who support original content will definitely launch a vicious attack on Second Brother. Add to that other netizens who don't know the truth, and Second Brother will be torn to shreds. Oh, and Li Shi'an's fans too.]
Damn, Lin Shufeng's eyes are sharp. Today?
Lin Guiyi quickly read on.
[It's Second Brother's assistant! He's already in Second Brother's studio; we can catch him red-handed if we go now.]
Lin Guiyi looked at the people around him, feeling a little anxious; time was of the essence.
Lin Guiyi glanced at his phone, then grabbed his second brother's arm and said anxiously, "Brother, something's happened to my friend. He's going to jump off a building. Can you drive me there?"
"Heavens, let's hurry, hopefully we'll make it in time." Seeing Lin Guiyi's intention, Lin Shufeng cooperated.
Lin Shufeng looked at Xu Qiuye and said quickly, "Qiuye, you stay with your younger brother for now, I'll come pick you up later. Younger brother, take good care of your sister-in-law."
Lin Shufeng apologized to the others and then grabbed Lin Guiyi and ran away.
Even after the two had run far away, the remaining people were still a little dazed.
Lin Guiyi was pulled along the way, and then Lin Shufeng pushed him into the back seat.
Looking at Lin Erge in the driver's seat, Lin Guiyi shouted, "My legs are about to break!"
"Hmph," Lin Shufeng replied, "After all, it's a life. Aren't you worried about your friend?"
As Lin Shufeng spoke, he started the car and drove it quickly, maintaining the fastest speed within the prescribed range.
Seeing that Lin Shufeng had already started driving, Lin Gui hurriedly said, "I was just talking nonsense. Drive to your art studio."
"Hmm," Lin Shufeng said, driving seriously.
"I used to study fortune telling, and I was quite good at it. I just predicted that your assistant was going to steal your artwork." Lin Gui kept repeating this, too lazy to find any other reasons.
The air was silent.
Lin Guiyi hesitated before asking, "Do you believe me?"
"I believe you. My mother told me that before," Lin Shufeng said firmly.
"Hmm, that's good." Lin Guiyi shut his mouth. His mother had said so, but the Lin family members were all quite superstitious, and no one raised any questions.
Lin Guiyi and his second brother arrived at the entrance of the studio.
Everyone went to the art exhibition today, except for this assistant who asked for leave.
Lin Shufeng gently opened the door. The studio was dark, with only one room having a dim light that illuminated a figure.
The two quietly went inside. Lin Shufeng was holding a rope in his hand, which he had bought on a whim when he passed by the supermarket.
Lin Shufeng walked quietly. The small room was open. Lin Shufeng observed from the doorway and confirmed the location of his assistant. The assistant was squatting and looking for something. Lin Shufeng's eyes narrowed. He quickly stepped forward, put a rope around the assistant's arm, and used his tall body to suppress the assistant, ordering the assistant to lie face down.
"Ahhhhh, who is it? Let me go! Are you trying to rob me? I'll give it to you, big brother, please let me go!" the assistant shouted in fear.
Lin Shufeng ignored him and continued to tie the other person up with the rope. Only after he was sure that the other person could not easily break free did Lin Shufeng step back.
Lin Guiyi then turned on the lights, revealing the room's layout.
The sudden light, without warning, was like countless sharp needles piercing his eyes, causing numbness and swelling. The assistant immediately closed his eyes, and after a moment, slowly opened them. He looked up and saw the person in front of him, his eyes widening in shock.
"President Lin, you, you..." he stammered.
Lin Shufeng picked up the sketch that his assistant had already taken out, a half-smile on his face, and waved the sketch in his hand.
After realizing that the matter had been exposed, the assistant hurriedly apologized and kept making excuses.
"President Lin, this, this is all because someone forced me. If I don't do it, he will threaten me with my family... I'm sorry, I was blinded by greed for a moment, and I was worried that my family would be harmed."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I've worked at the studio for several years now. Really, I didn't want to betray you, sob sob." The assistant cried, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with regret and choked with sobs, trying to appeal to his emotions.
Lin Shufeng's eyes remained cold, unmoved by the other party's tearful pleas.
"who is it?"
The assistant's eyes lit up, thinking that Lin Shufeng had given in, and he quickly replied, "It's Li Shi'an! He's always disliked you!"
[Pshaw, that's not it. It's clearly because you always disliked your second brother, thinking he was aloof and superior, and then Li Shi'an bribed you with money, so you immediately agreed.]
"Second brother, don't believe me, or I'll look down on you and laugh at you with my younger brother."
"There won't be that opportunity."
