Chapter 394 A Tortured Story

"You take that painting away, I beg you to save my sister, save my family."

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

Everything was quiet again, and the room was still so dark, but the fallen easel and the paint all over the floor indicated that the place had just experienced a 'storm'.

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

Zachary Hussein was silent for a while before talking about his own experience, "I was born in a wealthy family in Iraq. Before the United States invaded Iraq, the Hussein family was also a well-known big family in China. Living in an environment with no worries about food and clothing, I don’t have to worry about my studies, and I can concentrate on the ocean of art. I learn painting from famous teachers, and I keep wandering around the world’s major art exhibitions, museums, and auctions.”

Speaking of which, Zachary stopped and changed his position, slumped on the ground, not paying attention to the paint sticking to his bamboo-like legs.

While Zachary was adjusting his posture, Yang Cheng carefully recalled Zachary's words. It is not difficult to understand the source of his painting skills. He has lived in an artistic atmosphere since he was a child and has been taught by famous teachers. , coupled with innate talent, it is not surprising to have today's achievements.

Zachary sighed and continued, "I thought I would spend my whole life with paintbrushes like this, but by chance, when I was traveling to Hungary, I was introduced by a friend to visit a Jewish collector. I found these amazing works from him."

Yang Cheng's eyes flashed brilliantly, pointed to the wall behind him, and interjected, "Is it the real work of Da Vinci?"

Zachary raised his head, looked at Yang Cheng with empty eyes, nodded slowly, and said in a teasing tone, "There are also paintings by Degas, Monet and other masters, all of which are authentic. I have read them since I was a child. There are countless famous paintings.

Especially for Da Vinci's classic works, I have repeatedly studied and copied the painting "Mona Lisa" myself no less than 100 times, so when I saw this "Mona Lisa" It’s only when the Louvre is so famous that the proud French people don’t want to admit that the treasures they have exhibited for many years are counterfeit products, or that they are not the original “Mona Lisa.”

Yang Cheng turned into an excellent comedian, "And then?"

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

"Does that Jewish collector think these paintings are fake?" Yang Cheng asked with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief.

"It's not surprising. Older collectors are more stubborn. They have their own obsessions, so I spent less than 1 million US dollars to accept these master paintings that are worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Work." Speaking of this place, Zachary seems to have relived the complacent mood at that time, and it was the first time Yang Cheng found a 'weird' smile on his skull face today.

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

"After that, I went back to my home in Baghdad and hid these paintings carefully. No one knew where they were, except me! Even my family didn't know! Qian, I just want to close the door and appreciate the masterpieces of the masters alone."

Yang Cheng knew that the turning point was coming soon.

"However, the good times didn't last long. One year after I returned to Baghdad, the US-Iraq war broke out, because my father had expected it and moved our family to Albania a few weeks before the war broke out. The beginning of a family nightmare." Zachary unconsciously expressed sadness, which shows how painful this memory is.

In fact, he didn't need to talk about what happened next, Yang Cheng could figure it out by himself.

It was nothing more than being targeted by a local warlord or gangster, and was regarded as a fat sheep. I wanted to kill and destroy the corpses. Anyway, there are countless innocent innocent corpses buried in the mountains of Albania.

Not bad for the Zachary family.

As a result, at a critical moment, Zachary revealed that he still had a shocking fortune, which temporarily saved the lives of the whole family.

As expected by Yang Cheng, Zachary's narration confirmed his guess, "I lied to the gang leader that the wealth was in the United States, and the greedy bastard once regarded my family as the guests of honor in order to obtain this shocking wealth. , entertained with delicious food and drink, I feel very satisfied, in order to let my family have another day of good life, I don't care what I do."

If Zachary didn’t boast about telling lies, Yang Cheng would still admire his actions. You must know that it has been 12 years since the outbreak of the US-Iraq war. Yong, while saving the lives of his family, he has not handed over the painting, which is really unimaginable.

"For more than ten years, I have been imitating the master's paintings to deceive others, and at the same time trying to save my family. Unfortunately, within a few years, my fraud was exposed, and the gang leader threatened my sister. I had to hand over a piece of Monet's "Water Lilies", which strengthened the confidence of the gang leader. He was sure that I did hide amazing wealth in my hands. difficult."

Yang Cheng secretly thought it was a pity, similar to Leonardo da Vinci, Monet painted nearly 200 works with the theme of water lilies in his life, but this did not affect his artistic or monetary value at all. Every living one will become the finale of the auction The debut of the auction set off a competition between the collectors and the super rich.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Cheng couldn't help wondering, "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 group of people dare not come here? They Isn’t it the Hei~gang? Are the Hei~gang still afraid of the Hei~gang?”

Zachary mocked, "I only found out after I came here that the Albanian gangs have a feud with the Italian Mafia, and it just so happens that the neighborhood where I live is the territory of the Mafia."

Yang Cheng suddenly realized that if this was the case, it would make sense, "So, do you know the exact address where your family is being held? I can send someone to rescue your family and bring them to the United States to settle down."

Just now Zachary promised to give the "Mona Lisa" to Yang Cheng. Faced with such a generous "reward", it is fundamental to help him save people. Help Zachary's family improve their lives, so that this genius can be better tied to 'earn money' for himself, right?

Zachary's eyes evoke hope, "I know, I know, I will write to my family every once in a while, and my sister will tell me where they are in code words, wait a minute."

Struggling to get up, regardless of the injury on his forehead, he pulled the easel away, searched for a long time in a package in the corner, and finally found a letter, then took out a clean white paper, and casually touched it on the ground with a paintbrush Pigment, copy the next 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, and I don't know if they are safe now, or if they have changed their address." Zachary rubbed his hands nervously and said dejectedly.

Yang Cheng sent 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, what happened just now The Hansen who came with me is the best special forces king in the world. He has performed countless extremely dangerous missions, just saving a few people. , he also has countless ways to find out."

Zachary's last hope was pinned on Yang Cheng, so he believed in his words, or he didn't believe it, because he was standing on the edge of the cliff at the moment, or he would jump off and die, or he would gamble. In the last one, obviously, he can only choose the latter.

"Thank you!" Without further words, a thousand words of thanks for the painting, which contains endless expectations.

Yang Cheng walked outside the door, waved to Hansen, and glanced at the shapeless Eastern European who had been tortured by Andrew, without any sympathy.

"Boss, this is a peripheral member of a certain gang in Albania. I really can't help beating him up. Andrew will knock them all down with two punches." Hansen sneered disdainfully.

Yang Cheng nodded, "I have a general understanding of the matter. Andrew just came back. This time you have worked hard to take your brothers to Albania and bring Zachary's family back to the United States safely. This is the address."

Pass the note that Zachary gave him just now to Hansen, and ordered.

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

Yang Cheng liked Hansen's performance of always having high confidence in the task. He patted Hansen's shoulder heavily, and finally told him, "Go, be careful."

After a pause, he glanced at Zachary who didn't know what he was thinking out of the corner of his eye, leaned his head and said in a low voice, "If anything goes wrong, save your own life first!"

Hansen pursed his lips, he was definitely moved. In fact, it was not the first time that Yang Cheng cared for the lives of their bodyguards like this, but he still couldn't get used to it, so he could only complete the task excellently to repay Yang Cheng's love for them. trust.

No nonsense, he gave a solemn military salute, turned around and stepped out of the gate with strong steps, gave Andrew some instructions, and then left quickly.

When Hansen's back disappeared, Yang Cheng returned to Zacca, "You can follow me first, we can't stay here any longer."

Regarding Zachary's arrangement, Yang Cheng already has a plan in his mind. He plans to arrange Zachary to be taken care of by Eiffel. In the future, he also plans to arrange for the two to be partners and make a lot of money for himself together.
