Chapter 23 Scam,
early morning.
Chen Yu got up early as usual, changed into running shoes and shorts, and then left the apartment.
When he arrived at the stairs on the second floor, he happened to see Elaine coming out of the apartment, wearing the same running equipment, obviously he was going to run!
But her outfit is a bit too sexy. A light gray fitness suit perfectly outlines the exquisite body curves. The waves are surging, and the beautiful face is pleasing to the eye!
The moment he saw Elaine, a stunning look flashed in Chen Yu's eyes.
He had a little bit of eye contact before he remembered to say hello.
"Good morning, Elaine, don't you exercise in the gym? Why did you think of going outdoors today?"
"Good morning, Renault, don't mention it. The door of the gym I often go to suddenly locked. It is said that the gym owner ran away with money. Those of us who have applied for a fitness card have no place to exercise and can only go outdoors for running!"
Elaine waved her hand, her expression quite helpless.
"Hahaha, this kind of thing is very common. I was fooled once before, and I will never apply for an annual fitness card again. I will apply for a half-year card at most, and I have to be prepared to go to the gym to move equipment at all times!"
"This is a good idea. If I had known that I would have brought a treadmill back, at least I wouldn't lose money and wouldn't have to go out for a run!"
"Where are you going to run? Run along the Seine River or to Luxembourg Park? I'm running in Luxembourg Park, why don't we go together? You can also talk while running!"
"Okay, let's go together. Since I moved here, I have not been outdoors yet. I happened to experience it today!"
As they said that, the two of them had already arrived downstairs.
When he walked out of the apartment building, Chen Yu quickly glanced at the situation on the street and found nothing unusual.
Then, the two of them ran forward together and headed straight for Luxembourg Park not far away.
Since it was still early, there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the street at this time, only some people who got up early to exercise.
When these guys saw Elaine, they were all amazed and their eyes shone brightly.
Several of the single dogs were eager to try and were ready to come up to find Elaine to contact information. It was just because Chen Yu was with him that he stopped the impulse and temporarily gave up the idea.
What’s even more excessive is that a few guys simply followed Chen Yu and Elaine, following like shadows, running while enjoying the beautiful scenery!
Of course, Chen Yu is no exception. While running, his eyes also gained great satisfaction.
Elaine should have been used to this situation for a long time. She did not pay attention to the hot gazes that came around and ran away as if no one was present.
While speaking, they had run out of the street where the apartment building was located, turned to another adjacent street, and not far ahead was the tree-lined Luxembourg Park.
Not long after running along the street, Chen Yu suddenly let out a cry, then stopped and looked at a shop on the street.
Elaine, who was jogging, could only stop and asked in surprise:
"Renault, why did you stop suddenly?"
Chen Yu turned to look at her, then pointed to the shop on the street and said:
"Nothing, this is a small antique shop I often come to. I didn't expect it to close. There was a transfer notice posted on the door. It was because I saw this that I stopped!"
Following the direction of his finger, Elaine looked to the street. There was indeed a small antique shop that looked quite elegant on the street.
While speaking, Chen Yu had already come to the antique shop, carefully checked the content of the notice, then took two steps back and looked at this Renaissance-style building.
The notice clearly stated that not only the small antique shop downstairs will be transferred, but the residential building facing the street will also be transferred together, and a contact number is left.
This is a Renaissance-style building with four stories high. The side facing the street looks very good, but I don’t know what the situation is inside!
In front of this building is a two-lane road with parking spaces planned on the roadside. The sidewalk is more than four meters wide and covered with flower tiles. There are two rows of tall tung trees planted on the street, and the scenery is beautiful!
Chen Yu looked at the appearance of the four-story building, observed the environment here, then took out his cell phone and began to take photos of the antique shop and the four-story building.
Seeing his actions, Elaine couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Renault, you don't want to buy this antique shop and this building, right? Do you want to open an antique shop?"
"That's not bad, Elaine, I work in the Louvre, dealing with antiques and artworks from various eras every day, many of which are priceless top-notch goods.
I have seen many good things, and I have learned a little bit. It should be OK to open a small antique shop. Even if I have poor eyesight, I can ask Professor Albert and others for help!”
Chen Yu joked and looked into the antique shop through the window.
"This is the core area of the Latin Quarter around Luxembourg Park, and one of the best neighborhoods in Paris. Do you know how expensive the houses here? Ordinary people can't afford them at all, and they can't even think about it!"
Elaine said with an exaggerated expression, obviously not believing that Chen Yu could afford this building.
Chen Yu just smiled, but didn't explain anything, but his eyes were full of confidence.
After taking the photo, he and Irina left the street and ran towards Luxembourg Park not far away.
At this moment, when Elaine looked at him again, her eyes were already a little more suspicious.
Could it be that Renault is a super rich second generation? Or a hidden rich man? Could it be that he is really capable of buying this building?
Just when Elaine was full of questions, Chen Yu led to the topic.
"Elaine, I forgot to ask just now, has Marlene figured out how to deal with those modern artworks?"
After the words came to an end, Elaine immediately responded:
"Malin decided to give the modern artwork to the photo. Today I will go to Malin's house to discuss with her what to do."
"That's good. Although the public auction is a long time, it is generally possible to maximize profits, which is a good choice."
Chen Yu nodded, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
While speaking, the two of them had already run into Luxembourg Park, and then accelerated and ran in this vibrant park.
Just like on the street outside before, Elaine's appearance inevitably caused a stir in this park!
The originally very fresh air in the park suddenly had a hint of hormonal smell!
...
In the afternoon, in the office.
Chen Yu, who was looking at a replica of an ancient Greek sculpture, was awakened by the sudden ringtone of his cell phone.
He took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was a landline number he didn't recognize.
When the phone was connected, Marlene's voice came immediately, and she pressed the voice very low, as if she was afraid that someone would hear it.
"Is it Renault? I'm Marlene, Elaine's aunt"
"Good afternoon, Marlene, I'm Renault, is there anything?"
Chen Yu responded with a smile, a little surprised.
"Can you come to my house? Andre brought two auction houses to me, hoping that I could entrust my collection of modern artworks to them, saying that it was for auction.
But I don’t trust those two so-called auction houses, nor Andre. I don’t know if the identities of those two guys are real, so I call you.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu immediately said:
"Malin, if the two so-called auction house executives were found by Andre, then I can tell you with great certainty that they must be fake, and the purpose is to deceive the modern artwork you have collected.
I'll hurry to your house right away. All you have to do now is to delay time. Never hand over those modern artworks to the other party, and don't sign any documents. It's best to find a few neighbors to accompany you."
"Okay, Renault, you'd better be quick. I'll try to delay the time and find a few old friends to come over."
Marlene replied in a low voice, a hint of fear in her voice.
Then he comforted Marlin for a few more words, and Chen Yu hung up his phone, then ran back to his desk, picked up his backpack and left the office.
When he left, he did not forget to greet Emily. If anyone asked, he would say he had asked for leave. It would be better if no one asked!
Next, he ran all the way, rushed out of the Louvre as fast as possible, and then took a taxi to the tenth district.
Fortunately, the security personnel at the Louvre office area and the employees' exit knew him, and he did not hold anything like a paintblock, otherwise he would have been regarded as a robber or a thief in art and threw him to the ground.
Even so, Chen Yu still explained all the way, saying that he had an urgent matter and needed to leave. He kept showing his work sign and opening his backpack for the security personnel to check, and then he successfully left the Louvre!
Twenty minutes later, he had arrived at the street where Marlene's house was.
Along the way, he saw Andre's Porsche 911 at a glance, and two other cars, parked in front of Marlene's house.
At the same time, he also saw Enes' car parked at the intersection, deliberately staying away from the residential building where Marlene's house was, obviously afraid of being discovered.
The guy Enes was sitting in the car, stretching his neck and staring at the residential building in front, with a slightly anxious expression.
There is no doubt that this is an elaborate scam, the goal is to sack the valuable modern artworks in Marlene's hands!
Seeing this scene, Chen Yu couldn't help but sneer.
As the taxi passed by Enes's car, he glanced at the guy disdainfully through the window glass and gave him a high-rise middle finger.
The guy also saw him and was stunned, and a panic expression appeared on his face.
When he realized, he quickly took out his cell phone to inform Andre, everything was too late!
Chapter completed!
