Chapter 1177: 1178 Uneasy

1178 Uneasy

One after another, Tao Siwen and Chai Shiming were investigated. In addition, Mei Yanqing had called for a meeting at the last minute. This made the entire National Art Association nervous.

After the meeting, Shi Yang stayed at the National Art Association for a while, not leaving until later that night.

The night was dark, the streets were bright and the traffic was heavy.

Shi Yang’s assistant glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Shi Yang leaning back in the back seat. He was pinching the bridge of his nose, looking a little tired.

The assistant asked hesitantly, “Teacher Shi Yang, I’m afraid that the National Art Association will be conducting a thorough investigation this time.”

Shi Yang opened his eyes, but there was no emotion in them.

“It’s what should be done. After all, it’s such a big internal problem.”

The assistant’s throat was dry.

How could he still be so calm at this time?

Shi Yang looked at him through the rearview mirror with eyes that were extremely cold.

“What are you afraid of?”

The assistant quickly looked away.

“No, there’s nothing!”

The air in the car seemed to have frozen.

Shi Yang said, “There’s no need to feel guilty about something you didn’t do.”

The assistant bit the bullet and said, “Yes, yes…”

Shi Yang put on his glasses again. The thin lenses reflected the faint light as he moved as elegantly as ever.

However, it was already the end of October and the weather was cold, especially at night. Thus, it probably enhanced the cold gaze behind his glasses.

The assistant’s body tensed up.

Shi Yang took his phone out and began to look through it.

The assistant heaved a sigh of relief, only to find that the palms of his hands were already wet with sweat.

“Has something happened to Yu Corporation?”

Shi Yang suddenly asked.

The assistant was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was asking.

“I… I’m not sure about that…”

All he had been able to think about the whole day was the fake painting. When would he have the time to care about anything else?

Shi Yang was reading the news on his phone.

In the past, Yu Cheng had been the heir handpicked by Old Master Yu, and everyone had silently agreed that the entire Yu family business would belong to Yu Cheng in the future.

But now that something had happened to Yu Cheng, Yu Ming and his side of the family had been defeated, one after another. His defeat by Yu Feng had been very quick.

Of course, anyone with eyes could see that something fishy was going on.

Shi Yang thought for a while, then asked, “I haven’t heard any news about Yu Yu in a while.”

The assistant had not expected him to suddenly ask about Yu Yu, so he quickly replied, “I think… I think she’s not in good health and has been recuperating at the Yu family mansion. But everyone knows that Yu Yu’s in this state due to the collapse of Yu Media.

After causing such a big problem, the second miss Yu had already been marginalized. Thus, she probably had no connection with the Yu family’s assets.

Shi Yang was deep in thought.

It was true that Yu Yu’s misstep in her decision-making had led to problems within Yu Media, but it did not really seem to be that serious.

Her relationship with the Yu family’s eldest branch had always been good. However, before Yu Ming’s incident today, there had been no news about her.

From Yu Cheng to Yu Yu, then to Yu Ming…

Shi Yang narrowed his eyes, deep in thought. After a long time, he laughed.

She had such deep thoughts that were really different from her mother’s.

She really was not very likable.

…

Mei Yanqing had lost his temper during the meeting today. After Shen Li sent him back to Jinse Bay, she and Yu Pingchuan accompanied him to have dinner.

After much persuasion, the two of them finally left.

In the car, Yu Pingchuan could not help but sigh.

“Ah, if this matter is really related to Shi Yang, it’d be so embarrassing.”

Even now, he still felt that this conjecture was too unbelievable.

If it were not for the many coincidences and the many clues, he would never have cast his suspicious gaze on Shi Yang.

“What do you think he’s thinking? It’s understandable that people like Tao Siwen would do this kind of thing. It would be for nothing more than ‘profit’. But Shi Yang… He doesn’t lack for anything. Why would he want to do this?”

Yu Pingchuan shook his head.

“In terms of family background, he comes from a family of scholars and is well-off. In terms of status, he’s already the Vice-President of the National Art Association at such a young age and is also one of the top Chinese art Masters in the country. The people who have come into contact with him are basically full of praise for him. What could he possibly be planning?”

He could not understand it.

Shen Li said, “There is no end to human greed and desire. Besides, there’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world. He wears that mask all year round, so he’s probably even deceived himself.”

Yu Pingchuan let out a long sigh.

“Actually, there’s no point in saying all this now. Let’s just wait for the police to investigate.”

Shen Li did not reply.

In fact, she was not optimistic about this matter.

Although Tao Siwen and Chai Shiming were being investigated, there were too many people and factors involved in this matter. It was not an easy task to thoroughly investigate it.

Besides, it was obvious that Shi Yang was a very cautious person. He never made any mistakes.

Why would he leave any traces behind that would put himself in danger?

Moreover, during the meeting today, he had been completely natural from start to end and behaved so naturally that it was as if he really had nothing to do with these things.

This kind of person’s mental strength was not just strong.

At the same time, this kind of person was particularly disturbing.

It was likely that even the people who were most familiar with him might not really understand him.

Shen Li suddenly thought of something.

“Senior Brother, doesn’t Shi Yang have any family?”

Yu Pingchuan was stunned.

“Family? I don’t think so… His parents are gone, and he doesn’t have any siblings.”

“He’s not married? No children?”

“No, he doesn’t.”

Yu Pingchuan shook his head.

“Actually, many people have fallen for him over the years, but he has rejected them all.”

Shen Li’s eyebrows furrowed.

“So, he doesn’t want to get married at all?”

“Probably. But all these years, he’s never had a single girlfriend by his side. When I asked, he just said that he hadn’t met anyone that he liked.”

Yu Pingchuan said, “Maybe different people have different goals.”

He’d never met someone that he liked?

Shen Li’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Hadn’t Shi Yang liked… Gu Tingyin previously?

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Pingchuan said, “Ah Li, we’ve reached.”

Shen Li came back to her senses and slowly stopped the car.

“Take care, Senior Brother.”

Yu Pingchuan got out of the car and conveyed a few more parting words through the window, “Be careful on your way back tonight. Also, we’ve already begun to investigate the matter of the fake painting, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

Shen Li nodded.

After Yu Pingchuan left, Shen Li sat quietly for a while with her eyes slightly lowered.

She had a vague feeling that something was not right, but she could not put her finger on it.

After a moment, she gathered her thoughts and turned around to leave.
