Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Feeling more secure with money_1

Qin Sisi entered the password, opened the tal box, took out the scroll inside, and slowly unfolded it in front of Boss Zheng.

First, Boss Zheng was puzzled, then surprised, and finally, he was shocked.

"Is...is this a real piece?" Boss Zheng slightly could not believe his own eyes.

As far as he knew, a few of Master Zhang’s representative works had been auctioned for billions, and this piece "Lotus Leaves," while not as famous, was still a valuable piece. It’s worth was unquestionably in the millions.

Qin Sisi nodded and replied, "It should be genuine."

"Where did you get it from?" Boss Zheng stared at Qin Sisi in astonishnt. From his knowledge, Qin Sisi did not have this painting when they went to the East Suburbs Mansion.

Qin Sisi honestly replied, "The ghost in the mansion gave it to . He said he was the previous owner of that mansion."

Qin Sisi’s words sounded like a fairy tale, but Boss Zheng believed her because there were only the three of them together that night. If Zheng didn’t give it, then surely it wasn’t Mr. Zhao who did.

Besides the two of them, the only other being Qin Sisi had contact with was the ghost in the mansion’s basent.

Furthermore, Mr. Zhao had said the original owner of the mansion was the one who died in the basent.

Boss Zheng slowly nodded. He knew Qin Sisi had many secrets, but he was wise and would never ask if she didn’t tell him.

So, Boss Zheng’s gaze returned to the precious painting – the uniform ink color, the vivid lotus leaves, the poetic title, the resounding na...

Bringing this painting to the market would undoubtedly cause quite a stir.

Boss Zheng looked up and asked, "Sisi, the reason you’re showing

this painting is..."

Qin Sisi calmly replied, "I want you to help

sell this painting."

This answer was within Boss Zheng’s expectation, and he asked again, "Have you thought this through?"

After all, it was a highly valuable item and should be treated with caution.

Qin Sisi nodded affirmatively and said, "I have. Keeping this painting is of no use to . I’d rather have the money for a sense of security."

Boss Zheng laughed. If the painting was his, he would certainly be reluctant to sell it. However, everyone had their ambitions, and Qin Sisi must have had her own reasons.

Seeing that Boss Zheng liked the painting, Qin Sisi tentatively said, "If you like it, Uncle Zheng, just give

whatever price you think is fair."

In consideration of the many tis Boss Zheng had helped her, Qin Sisi was willing to make a loss on the price. However, giving it away for free was not an option, considering its high value.

Boss Zheng chuckled and said, "I indeed love it very much, but if I were to buy it, I’m afraid I would have to go bankrupt. I’d better not bite off more than I can chew."

Qin Sisi also laughed along, saying, "Uncle Zheng, you’re too modest."

Boss Zheng shook his head with a smile, thought for a mont, and said, "This painting is extrely valuable. I have to ask a larger auction company to auction it, which will involve so fees. Besides, I guess you’re intending to keep your identity confidential, right?"

Communicating with such a wise man was easy and straightforward. Qin Sisi gave a slight smile and said, "Of course, we should keep my identity confidential. How much would the fees be? I can pay you in advance."

Boss Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and declined, "No need for that. I just wanted to inform you that the fees will be deducted from the sale price once the painting is sold. However, since this is a highly-priced painting, it might take so ti to sell it."

Qin Sisi paused slightly. With only half a month left until the fifteenth of July, she wondered if there would be enough ti to successfully sell the painting.

She took a mont to think, looked serious, and told Boss Zheng, "Uncle Zheng, I may be away for a while next month. If the painting is sold during my absence, could you please keep the money for ?"

Boss Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Sisi, I’m honored that you trust , but with such a large sum of money, it’s better to make arrangents as soon as you receive it."

Qin Sisi nodded and said, "I understand. In that case, could you please inform the auction company that I need the money as soon as possible and thus the selling price can be a bit lower."

Boss Zheng looked at her in surprise. If she was in a hurry, it was possible she would receive considerably less money.

However, he knew that Qin Sisi was not the impulsive type. There must be a reason for her decision.

Boss Zheng said no more, put away the painting carefully, and stashed it away.

After bidding Boss Zheng farewell, Qin Sisi returned ho with Ye You.

Despite being up all night and feeling extrely tired, Qin Sisi first contacted a private detective agency she’d done business with before. She gave them Dou Tingting’s information and asked them to find her as soon as possible, offering them a handso reward.

Having done all this, Qin Sisi finally fell into a deep sleep with Ye You in her arms.

When she woke up in the evening, she prepared dinner and ate it with Ye You. Today marked the end of the sixth lunar month, making their mood sowhat solemn.

There was only half a month left, and they were still short of four units of Soul Power. The imnse pressure weighed heavily on their hearts.

After dinner, Qin Sisi took the ti to practice magic.

Her Gold Attribute Magic had been upgraded, and the power of the Gold Attribute Magic Skill "Solid as Golden Soup" that Qin Sisi used had greatly increased. Ye You remarked that after practicing for another two or three days, she should be successful.

Night fell, and Qin Sisi took out a piece of yellow paper from a cabinet, instructed Ye You to infuse a little of his Spiritual Power into it, and then used Fire Magic to burn it in the northwest corner of the room.

Soon, Lan Di, dressed in blue attire, with blue hair, blue shoes, and blue skin, appeared amidst the flying ashes, wearing his radiant and unbeatable signature smile.

Qin Sisi didn’t feel like talking too much. She gave Lan Di the na and horoscope of Huang ngchang’s daughter and made her request, asking Lan Di to help.

Lan Di, seeing the gloominess in Qin Sisi’s mood, probably guessed the reason for her worries. He laughed heartily and comforted her, saying, "Don’t worry. If you really can’t find any, I’ll secretly catch a few for you from the underworld."

Qin Sisi was deeply moved by Lan Di’s enthusiasm, but all souls in the underworld were registered. Last ti when they helped Qing ng and Bai Lian escape, it had alard Horseface. If Qi Jiaming hadn’t smoothed things over, the situation might not have ended so easily.

So unless absolutely necessary, Qin Sisi had no intention to ddle with the souls in the underworld. The closer they got to the departure date, the more they should be careful and cautious.

Moreover, upon seeing Lan Di, Qin Sisi suddenly thought of sothing else - Pei Pei.

Half a year ago, Pei Pei exchanged her own Soul Power for a Love Potion to make Lan Di fall in love with her.

However, the Love Potion was only effective for half a year. After half a year, Lan Di would completely forget her and, without any unexpected circumstances, Pei Pei would surrender her Soul Power.
