    292.The gallery was destroyed

    Shen Qinglan’s eyes darkened, “What happened?”

    “The gallery is on fire.”

    Shen Qinglan’s expression changed, “Are you okay?”

    “The person is fine, but the painting was destroyed.”

    When Shen Qinglan heard that the person was okay, she felt slightly relieved. She hung up the phone, said something to Mr. Fu, and went to Daniel’s gallery with Fu Hengyi.

    When they arrived, there was a fire truck parked at the scene. Daniel stood in front of the ruins of the gallery with a dark face. When he saw Shen Qinglan coming, he walked over and asked, “Why are you here?”

    “Such a big thing happened here. How could I not come? How could everything be on fire?” Daniel called her just now and told her that the gallery was on fire and all the paintings were burned.

    “You know, they are still investigating the cause of the accident.” Daniel said solemnly, but in his heart, he was more inclined to believe that after all, natural fires were unlikely to occur in such weather.

    Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi looked at each other, also leaning towards Daniel’s guess.

    Because Shen Qinglan’s personal exhibition was to be held this time, the gallery was full of Shen Qinglan’s paintings. When the fire burned this time, all the paintings were completely burned by the fire.

    “Qinglan, I’m very sorry that your paintings have been destroyed.” Daniel said apologetically. These paintings are all fine works. It is impossible not to be angry now that they are destroyed.

    Shen Qinglan was not as angry as Daniel, and even looked calm, “It’s just some paintings. If they are destroyed, you can paint them again. As long as the person is fine, it will be fine. Did you call the police?”

    Daniel nodded. With such a big thing happening, it was impossible not to call the police.

    Daniel has been in the capital for many years, and this gallery has been open here for many years. It has been fine for so many years, but the gallery was burned down when Shen Qinglan held an exhibition. If he said that it was not against Shen Qinglan, I would not believe it to my death.

    The fire was so fierce that the gallery’s surveillance system failed to stay. The police could only find out that gasoline had been poured into the gallery, proving that it was indeed arson, and they could not find any other useful information about him.

    Daniel’s expression was very irritable. He didn’t feel bad that the gallery was destroyed. The disappearance of Shen Qinglan’s paintings was what made him most irritable. You must know that to create a good work, an artist needs not only painting skills, but also the mood and inspiration when painting. Even if it is the same painting, the first painting and the subsequent repainting are different.

    “Okay Daniel, don’t be so angry.” Shen Qinglan comforted him.

    Can Daniel not be angry?

    “Don’t let me know who this person is, otherwise I will definitely make her look good.”

    In fact, he is not a candidate without suspicion in his mind, but there is currently no evidence to prove that she did it.

    Shen Qinglan was very calm. Although she felt it was a pity that the painting was destroyed, she was not as angry as Daniel. People who didn’t know better thought that the destroyed painting belonged to Daniel.

    Seeing Shen Qinglan’s calm look, Daniel felt a headache, “My aunt, what time has it been? Do you still have the heart to make tea here?”

    Shen Shen Qinglan handed a cup of brewed tea to Fu Hengyi, and then brewed another cup for Daniel, “Daniel, sit down and drink a cup of tea to calm down. It’s just a pile of dead things, and it can be compared with human life. There were no casualties in such a big fire this time, which is already a thing to be thankful for.”

    The person who set the fire was probably afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. The fire broke out in the morning, before dawn. There was no one in the gallery at that time, and gasoline was poured on it, so the fire was extremely fierce. It started all of a sudden. If an employee in the studio upstairs had not returned last night, maybe the fire would have burned the entire gallery into ruins, although the ruins are no different now.

    Infected by Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi’s calmness, Daniel gradually calmed down, sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, “You really are an emperor who is not in a hurry, but an eunuch is.”

    Shen Qinglan smiled and said, “Since the other party is targeting me, they will definitely not let it go like this. If we didn’t catch them this time, there will be another chance next time. And we are not soft persimmons. Can’t we take the initiative?”

    Hearing this, Daniel clapped his hands and laughed, “This is the Shen Qinglan I know. He should retaliate when he wants revenge. You are right. If someone targets someone, it is understandable that we should retaliate appropriately.”

    Daniel’s eyes rolled around, obviously thinking of some bad idea.

    “Qinglan, do you remember the painter named Jonathan we met last time in Sydney?” Daniel suddenly said.

    Shen Qinglan naturally remembered, “What?”

    “Frank has always admired him and wanted to praise him, but after all this time, Jonathan is still an unknown person. Don’t you find it strange?”

    Shen Qinglan didn’t find it strange at all. Considering someone’s strong jealousy and her family’s power, it was strange that Jonathan could become popular.

    And Shen Qingqinglan’s guess was absolutely correct. Frank wanted to make Jonathan popular, but there were always people obstructing him secretly. Every time there was an important occasion, something would go wrong. After a while, even Frank, no matter how stupid he was, understood it.

    He warned Catherine many times overtly and secretly, but Catherine still went her own way without restraining herself at all. In addition, he and Catherine’s father were old friends, and she owed him a big favor when they were young. For various reasons, Catherine had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​promoting Jonathan.

    “Just because Frank doesn’t like him, it doesn’t mean that I, Daniel, can’t do it. He loves that incompetent student, but I don’t know how. I just want to show that damn woman that if she offends me, Daniel, things are not so easy to solve.” Daniel said bitterly.

    Shen Qinglan didn’t object to what he did. People were bullying her, and she couldn’t just sit back and wait for death.

    Leaving the gallery affairs to his assistant, Daniel set out for Sydney the next day.

    **********

    Shen Qinglan was not surprised at all when she received Catherine’s call, “Ms. Shen, I heard that Daniel’s gallery caught fire and all your paintings were burned. Are you okay?”

    Shen Qinglan’s lips curled up slightly, “Thank you, Miss Catherine, for your concern. I’m fine.”

    “Miss Shen, we are friends, and I have always admired you. If you need my help in any way, just ask.” Catherine said.

    Shen Qinglan’s expression was calm, and even through the phone, she could feel the gloating in Catherine’s tone.

    “Thank you Miss Catherine for your concern. I’m fine. As for the help, I don’t need any help. It’s just a few works. Since I can draw them, I can draw them again.”

    Shen Qinglan said it calmly, but Catherine gritted her teeth when she heard it.

    “Miss Shen, is that what you said? What we painters pay attention to when painting is an inspiration. It wouldn’t be a pity if you can never paint such exquisite paintings in the future.”

    A cold light flashed across Shen Qinglan’s eyes. This Catherine made her feel a little annoyed. In fact, she and Catherine had never had any deep hatred. If it weren’t for the last trip to Sydney, she wouldn’t even know who Catherine was.

    Shen Qinglan said calmly, “Miss Catherine doesn’t need to worry about these.” After saying that, she hung up the phone and frowned.

    Fu Hengyi saw her frowning and said with a smile, “He’s just an insignificant person. It’s not worth being unhappy for her.”

    Shen Qinglan glared at him. Fu Hengyi was also one of the reasons why Catherine targeted her so much.

    Being offended by his wife, Mr. Fu felt very innocent and hurried over to put out the fire. He squeezed Shen Qinglan’s shoulders to relax and said, “Is this fire related to this woman?”

    “Well, nine times out of ten, she ordered someone to do it.” Shen Qinglan was not really angry. Seeing Master Fu taking the initiative to show courtesy, she naturally accepted it.

    A cold light flashed in Fu Hengyi’s eyes. Several of Shen Qinglan’s main works in this exhibition were created by him in the small town during their honeymoon. They were full of memories of the two of them. Originally, he planned to collect them in the future, but they were destroyed in a fire.

    “Leave this matter to me, don’t worry so much.” Fu Hengyi said slowly. Shen Qinglan is still pregnant, and he doesn’t want her to work hard.

    “What do you want to do? Shen Qinglan asked him.

    “You don’t need to worry about this. I can’t do anything illegal.” Fu Hengyi said.

    Shen Qinglan thought about it and changed the subject, “Will it be two months before you come back next time?” Fu Hengyi has been back for almost a week this time, and she guessed that the two monthly holidays were combined.

    Fu Hengyi nodded, “Well, after I go back this time, I will report to my superiors and submit an application. If everything goes well, I will return to the Beijing Military Region next year. Your due date will be close by then, so I can take care of you and the child.”

    Speaking of this matter, Shen Qinglan still had some hesitation in his heart, “Fu Hengyi, don’t make a decision so quickly. I hope you can think about it carefully. I can really take good care of me and the baby, and I still have my mother, grandfather and aunt at home. You should rest assured.”

    Fu Hengyi smiled, he had already considered this matter very clearly. Shen Qinglan could be willing to be the woman behind him for his dream, or he could give up his persistence for Shen Qinglan. In a family, one person cannot always pay alone.

    “I know this in my heart. This is the decision I made willingly. I want to take care of you with my own hands, and I also want to take care of your confinement with my own hands.”

    Hearing this, Shen Qinglan looked at he speechlessly, “If grandpa hears what you said, do you think my impression in he’s heart will be greatly reduced?”

    “No.” Fu Hengyi said with certainty, “Now in Grandpa’s heart, you are he’s biological granddaughter. I picked him up.” If he really wanted to do this, the most the old man could say was that he was useless.

    “Are you jealous?” Shen Qinglan felt like she could smell a strong sour smell in the air.

    Fu Hengyi smiled slightly, “I wish grandpa would be nicer to you.” If something like this happened, there would be many people to help him and protect Shen Qinglan.
