Since Liu Xingchen was absent from work last time, although he only asked for three days off, he did not come back after three days.

Liu Shuang probably didn't have the face to plead with her again, so he directly fired Liu Xingchen.

Xu Yansang did not ask much about this matter. Nowadays, there are more and more staff in the gallery, and she has more things to manage. She does not care too much about the stay or departure of a small employee like Liu Xingchen.

But when she saw Liu Xingchen today, she was shocked. Not only because Liu Xingchen was fired but still appeared here, but also because she had only not seen him for a few days, but Liu Xingchen had become so thin that his bones were visible, his face was haggard, his hair and beard were messy, and he looked like a completely different person.

Seeing Xu Yansang, Liu Xingchen avoided her gaze, turned around silently and changed direction.

Xu Yansang frowned slightly and said to Liu Shuang, "Director Liu, please come to my office."

She must find out the truth about Liu Xingchen.

Liu Shuang responded tremblingly.

In Xu Yansang's office.

Liu Shuang pleaded for Liu Xingchen, "Boss, he is only here as a temporary worker this time. In order to hold this art exhibition, we hired a lot of temporary workers. I thought it doesn't matter who I hire. Liu Xingchen needs money now, so I called him here."

Xu Yansang's brows were still furrowed. For some reason, when she saw Liu Xingchen again this time, she felt an indescribable discomfort.

Personally speaking, she was very resistant to Liu Xingchen's appearance in the gallery.

But as the owner of the gallery, Xu Yansang had to admit that Liu Shuang was right. The gallery was not hers to decide, and if she wanted to run it for a long time, she had to rely on Liu Shuang for a lot of things.

But she still had concerns in her heart, so Xu Yansang asked, "What happened to him?"

Liu Shuang was a little hesitant.

Xu Yansang's tone turned colder, and she looked at Liu Shuang and said, "Manager Liu, he wants to work in the gallery, so it's necessary for me to know his situation."

Liu Shuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, Boss, I'm just a little embarrassed to say it."

"Xingchen had a girlfriend before, but ended up contracting STDs... several STDs, including AIDS. He discovered it too late, and it was past the time to take blocking drugs. Later, he got news from somewhere that there was a batch of special foreign drugs that specifically treat AIDS, costing hundreds of dollars a box. He believed it and bought a lot, but a few days ago, news suddenly came out that the special drugs were fake, made by mixing flour, and couldn't treat AIDS at all."

"He spent all his money on those fake drugs. When he finally learned the bad news, it was too late to return the goods. He doesn't even have money to eat now. If I don't let him do this temporary job, he will starve to death."

Having said that, Liu Shuang sighed heavily.

He only found out about these things two days ago. Liu Xingchen had been hiding it from him. If he hadn't been so worried that he ran to Liu Xingchen's house, he might still be kept in the dark.

He has not yet told Liu Xingchen's father about this and doesn't know how to explain it.

Liu Xingchen probably doesn't have many years left to live. How can his family accept this?

After hearing what Liu Shuang said, Xu Yansang was shocked. She was shocked that there was such a dark side in the world.

Contracted AIDS and bought fake medicine.

Those unscrupulous vendors actually set their sights on making money from AIDS patients.

Giving them hope and then letting them despair, how cruel.

Xu Yansang sighed, but she couldn't help much in this matter, so she just waved to Liu Shuang and asked him to go out first.

This was considered as tacit agreement that Liu Xingchen would stay.

I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the police came to the door not long after Liu Shuang left.

Xu Yansang was confused, "Comrade police, are you looking for me?"

Even if she isn't called a three-good citizen, at least she's innocent, right?

The police nodded to her and said, "Mrs. Fu, I'm sorry to bother you. We found that Xu Ziqian was suspected of transporting and selling counterfeit drugs. After obtaining Mr. Fu's consent, we came to you to make a record."

Xu Yansang was stunned.

Xu Ziqian suspected of selling fake drugs?

"What fake medicine?" Xu Yansang was a little puzzled, but she still asked, "Is it a fake medicine for AIDS?"

"You know? That's easy." The police sat down, took out a recorder, and took out a pen and paper to take notes. "Mrs. Fu, did you find anything unusual during your contact with Xu Ziqian?"

Xu Yansang was stunned for a while, "Is it really that fake medicine?"

So, Liu Xingchen bought the fake medicine sold by Xu Ziqian and ended up in this state?

This world is so hard to understand.

What was even more difficult for her to accept was that Xu Ziqian was actually a fake drug dealer.

"I... I didn't notice anything unusual." Xu Yansang tried to recall, "She was always an artist, and I didn't get to know her more in daily life."

The police nodded, wrote it down, and asked, "Do you know Jin Shuilong?"

Xu Yansang nodded, "Yes, I do. After I became Xu Ziqian's agent, Jin Shuilong was the first person to buy paintings from me, but he asked to meet offline. When we met offline, he talked to Xu Ziqian alone for a few minutes, and then we parted unhappily without buying any paintings."

The police nodded, "That meeting was probably for the delivery of goods."

Xu Yansang was shocked. What kind of monsters and demons had gathered around her? Was everything that had seemed normal to her fake?

The police explained, "Xu Ziqian wanted to sell those drugs, so she needed a reliable cover. You are Mr. Fu's wife, and you have a prominent position. You will not attract the attention of the police, so she chose to be by your side. It was fake to cooperate with you, and the real reason was to ask you to help her cover up the sale of drugs."

Xu Yansang's back was numb, and she couldn't help asking, "Is the profit of fake medicine so huge? Xu Ziqian is already an outstanding painter, so she doesn't need money, right?"

"All we can say is that she is not short of money now," the policeman smiled and explained, "She was probably recruited by the criminal gang a long time ago. Perhaps her so-called fame was packaged by the criminal gang. We don't know. The most important thing now is to find Xu Ziqian."
