Shu Yu sighed. Yuan Shanchuan had already picked up the snacks and started eating. Although he had tried his best to restrain himself, he was still apparently starving.
When he was almost done eating, Shu Yu continued to ask, “How did you come back here?”
Yuan Shanchuan drank a large mouthful of water to fill his stomach. His voice was much stronger now. “I’ve been guarding against them. I’ve been secretly throwing away the medicine they sent me since a few days ago. So, I only ate half of the drug they gave me. I had already woken up when they sent me out of the manor.’
After waking up, he followed the two men who had thrown him out.
When they got off the carriage to pee, he hid behind it and returned to the black market with incredible difficulty.

It was because the black market was about to open these days that the people in the manor were especially busy. Yuan Shanchuan took advantage of the loophole and hid in the manor for three days.
In these three days, he had secretly learned a lot of news.
He knew that this was the black market, that today was the opening day and that… It turned out that the previous county magistrate had committed a serious crime and had been arrested. The entire Jiangyuan County had changed.
Therefore, his bodyguard friend had lied to him. What was hidden in the painting was not a case file that concerned the safety of the people of Jiangyuan County. It might even be the evidence of the former county magistrate.
Yuan Shanchuan was upset. His so-called friend had been using him all along.
But now, he wanted to get that painting back even more.
After listening from beginning to end, Shu Yu had an idea.
“What does that painting look like? Is it today’s auction item?”
Yuan Shanchuan shook his head, “That painting is just an ordinary landscape painting. As for whether it is an auction item today, I don’t know.” After all, he couldn’t ask about these things openly, and the people in the black market weren’t to be trifled with.
Two days ago, they were preparing for the opening of the market. They did not expect someone to sneak into the courtyard. They were unable to have time to deal with that man.
Now that the guests were here, they had to check again for the safety of the guests.
Yuan Shanchuan was found out. He had been hiding until now because the people of the black market did not dare to make a sound. It was thrilling enough.
Shu Yu frowned. She tapped her finger gently on the table.

Uncle, eat.’
Yuan Shanchuan was hungry. He had already eaten more than half the food on the table but still wanted more.
Shu Yu pondered. Since the whereabouts of the painting were known, she must find a way to take it away. Otherwise, if she brought Yuan Shanchuan back, she could not clear his name.
However, this was the black market, and security was tight, especially for such a valuable item.
She hoped that the painting would also be auctioned today. That way, even if she couldn’t get the painting from the black market, she could try to get it from the buyer.
Perhaps it would be a little easier.
Shu Yu stood at the thought and said, “I’ll go and ask what items were auctioned just now.”
They didn’t notice that several auction items had already been sold. They didn’t know if this included a painting.
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she planned to go out and call the waiter.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from downstairs. “The next item is our auction item No. 12. It’s a painting..”
