The language barrier is a disadvantage because I can't understand the meaning of the sentence, so I can only guess the content from the expression.
In addition, Su Zheng encountered a series of bad people after coming to France, and she subconsciously looked at everyone as being a little hostile. So when she saw others talking to her, her first conditioned reflex thought was that the other person did not say nice things.
Ye Shuang smiled and explained: "Serifu didn't say anything bad about you. He asked if the person looking for him was you... I think he has guessed that it was you who took revenge on him."
Su Zheng was immediately proud. She held her head high and looked back with pride: "You know my sister is awesome, you little thief!"
"...I told you that I can't understand Chinese."
Ye Shuang sighed helplessly, and after reminding him again, he shook his head and turned away: "Mr. Serif, I think we should discuss our matters later. As for now..." After speaking, he naturally stretched out his hand to take the canvas back into his hand: " I believe you don’t mind if I get my painting back?”
Serifu finally withdrew his attention from Su Zheng who could stuff an oil painting into his backpack without being discovered. He shook his head and said, "Please, I'll talk to you later."
Now that he already knew the other party's intention and knew that he was responsible for stealing from someone he shouldn't have stolen from, Serif was naturally willing to admit defeat and would not do anything like that.
It would be okay if it were an official department like the FBI that pays attention to evidence, but when it comes to similar people who wander outside the rules, the so-called objective evidence is no longer an important factor in their judgment when doing something. Instead, what determines everything is the subjective will of the other party.
This kind of person is not willing to swallow his grievances without getting evidence.
Ye Shuang and the others didn't bother. As expected, they turned around and left easily, waving their hands and taking away an oil painting.
Serif was still a little surprised that the other party was so easy to talk to. Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, he turned around and saw the collector's suddenly thoughtful and solemn expression. The flaxen-haired young man's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he reacted with hindsight. Come here - I feel like I've been tricked...
"That oil painting belongs to that oriental girl?" the collector asked awkwardly.
Serif smiled bitterly: "Well, I think so..." He had already admitted it just now, and it would only be more embarrassing to say it back now.
When the collector heard the definite answer, his face suddenly became more gloomy: "But the painting that belongs to her is in your backpack, and it is signed with your name?!"
This is no longer a question, but an affirmative statement.
Serif rubbed the bridge of his nose in distress... Just now he was just shocked by the other girl's superb skills. At the same time, he was also worried that the other girl would reveal his identity as a thief, and he might have offended a certain force... In these more serious situations Faced with the situation, Serifu certainly had no time to consider the collector's mood. After all, if something went wrong, he might have to face a steady stream of trouble.
But now that he had easily passed the test, Serif discovered that the purpose of the other party and his party might not be to declare war with him, but to disrupt his "business."
The collector obviously admired the oriental girl's painting skills, but in contrast, Serif played the role of a shameless thief. Well, he was also a thief, but God can testify that the "criminal facts" this time really had nothing to do with him.
"I don't want to know what you wanted to do with that girl's painting after you stole it, but it's obviously unfair." The collector took Serif's silence as acquiescence, and his angry attitude was completely opposite to before.
How much he admired this "talented and humble" young man at the beginning, now he hates him just as much: "Maybe it's to gain fame, maybe it's to steal the glory that belongs to the other person... No matter what you want to do, I I’m very disappointed with your current behavior!”
Serif: "..." He was really wronged this time.
…
In less than three minutes, the collector quickly left the cafe.
Su Zheng gloated over the misfortune and expressed satisfaction with the result of his attack.
Howard sighed with regret. He could fully imagine how Serif would feel. This was probably the first time Serif had been so depressed since he committed crimes arrogantly and played tricks on the FBI.
Serifus, who was ruthlessly abandoned, sat there alone. He poured himself a cup of coffee and calmed down for a while. After a while, he rubbed his face and stood up. He walked over and couldn't help but ask: "Everyone, did you do this on purpose?"
Ye Shuang simultaneously translated for Su Zheng and answered smoothly: "I can't help it. Your behavior has made my subordinates feel very bad these days. I also want to tell you something -"
Ye Shuang looked at Serifu seriously and said seriously: "... If you come out to hang out, you have to pay back."
"..." Just for this
Serifu silently looked at Su Zheng who looked proud, and then looked at Ye Shuang who looked just and said: "... You guys have given me a new understanding of women's openness."
The yellow deal is already a fact. No matter how depressed Serifu is, he can only admit that his skills are inferior to others.
And more importantly, before Ye Shuang and others showed no further hostility, Serifu also felt that the matter was the best outcome so far. If he wanted to continue to argue, he could imagine the future. How devastated it would be.
Being interested in excitement does not mean that you are mentally ill. No matter how much you like to play, Serifo will not cause trouble for yourself... especially after Ye Shuang confessed to him that the person who tracked down his hotel address was Antonis.
"Oh, Antonis!" After obtaining Ye Shuang's consent and connecting to the video call, Serifu looked at the big golden retriever head on the tablet and sighed: "So it's you! I was wondering how anyone could find me. .”
Antonis, wearing large headphones, was tapping away at another computer while taking a moment to video. After hearing Serif's strange opening remarks, the golden-haired boy took off his headphones and looked over strangely. He looked at Serif carefully for a while: "Hey! Who are you? No, no, I'm not saying that I don't know you, but I remember that we should I haven’t had any dealings with him.”
"...The Halloween dance in Kansas, the magician who was dragged into the room by you and got into a lot of trouble for no apparent reason?" Serifu silently provided an impression to the other party: "I think you should still remember that unlucky guy? That's me. "
"Drag him into the room?" Ye Shuang's eyes lit up.
Howard said with great interest: "Wow, the chaos in Kansas...could it be that time three years ago?"
Su Zheng looked around and said angrily: "Translate for me! You don't want to tell me anything interesting!"
Ye Shuang helped translate smoothly, and at the same time, he looked at Antonis on the other side of the screen and thought hard for a while, and finally gave up helplessly: "I generally have no impression of men, but I did go to Kansas three years ago. Something happened... Uh, what exactly do you want to say?"
Serif's expression was as tangled as constipation: "... After causing so much trouble to others, you then forget about them without authorization? Antonis, this really seems like something you did."
Ye Shuang had no time to translate, and was busy asking Howard to share her thoughts: "I think Serifu has some thoughts about Tony?"
"I didn't know about this." Howard squinted his eyes and patted his big belly: "If you hadn't taken the initiative to say it, I wouldn't have known that you guys actually knew Antonis."
Antonis obviously didn't have the patience to chat with a man. Seeing that Serifu didn't want to take the initiative to answer his questions, he simply tilted his head and waved at Ye Shuang in the corner of the screen: "Hey! Honey, has the matter in France been resolved? Since Now that you’ve caught this thief, come back soon, I miss you!”
"Come on, come on, we plan to go back tomorrow." Ye Shuang said smoothly.
"Great!" Antonis rubbed his hands excitedly and typed quickly on the desktop computer next to him without looking back: "Then I'll book a flight for you! Well, do you prefer first class or first class?"
“…business class.”
Just kidding, Antonis never spends money on air tickets. Business class is fine, but two extra passengers in first class might cause trouble.
Antonis pursed his lips: "Okay then."
Howard looked at Ye Shuang meaningfully: "It seems you have a good relationship?"
"To put it simply, it's the relationship between owners and pets." Ye Shuang said casually.
Su Zheng was depressed: "...she said something I couldn't understand again."
Serif has never been so transparent. He has always had a strong sense of presence in the circle. The FBI's watch list is the best indicator.
But on this day, when he was rarely willing to sit down and have a good talk with others, whether it was the little girl he had offended before, or the other two people who had beaten him hard before, especially Se In fact, River had been secretly paying attention to Antonis, but no one knew it... These people all ignored him after a few words.
Yes, all of them!
The business is gone, the fun is gone, and now even the attention is gone.
Originally, Serif was just slightly emotional when he saw Antonis, but when he saw him, he had completely forgotten about him, and he didn't even remember the things that had affected him, so he just couldn't have fun in other countries. After the joyful scene, a subtle reluctance inevitably arose in Serif's heart.
"...I also want to go to your country." Serif suddenly said.
"Huh?" Ye Shuang didn't respond: "Our country?"
"Yes!" Serifu made a polite gesture, but his tone was not very polite at all: "You have ruined my business, and I don't have any next plans right now... Well, I think I can also talk to Antonis. Reminiscing about old times.”
"Hey! I don't have any old feelings for men!" Antonis was unhappy.
Ye Shuang looked at Serif and then at Antonis, suddenly feeling that the relationship between the two seemed very subtle. (To be continued)
