Chapter 277: Roosevelt Island

The Ferrari F12 rumbling loudly, pulled aside at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street. After connecting with Xu Xian, it turned around at the intersection in front.

   "What are you looking at?" While waiting for the red light, Yang Cheng took a sip of the hot coffee that Xu Xian had bought, and asked Xu Xian who had been looking out the window.

   "Looking at Central Park, I have come to New York many times, but it seems to be the first time I passed through Central Park in the fall. The red leaves are so beautiful." Xu Xian pointed to the mangrove forest surrounding the pond at the entrance of Central Park and exclaimed.

   Yang Cheng is not new to this kind of scenery, because as long as he lives in New York, he can overlook the four seasons of Central Park every day when he gets up. The scenery is too beautiful to see.

Xu Xian, who changed into a casual dress, made Yang Cheng's eyes bright. The brown-red baseball collar jacket, pink and white T-shirt base and black pencil pants. The strong academic style changed the usual intellectual temperament and turned sweet. Girl next door.

"I think you are much more beautiful than the autumn scenery in Central Park." Yang Cheng kept turning his head to admire the beauties. Chi Guoguo's praise made Xu Xian shy. He slapped Yang Cheng a few times in awe, and said duplicity. Keep your glib tongue, concentrate on driving, and pay attention to safety."

   After such a disturbance, Xu Xian didn’t have the mind to go to see the scene anymore, biting the straw and curiously asked, “Where are we going now?”

   "Go and take the cable car!" Yang Cheng sold it off and smiled at Xu Xian.

   drove for about 10 minutes, parked the car in the parking lot near the subway entrance, locked the door, and took Xu Xian to the nearby supermarket to buy some snacks for the change.

Xu Xian silently allowed Yang Cheng to lead herself, her big bright eyes spinning around, and curiosity on her small faces, until the two of them got on the cable car, stood by the window with their hands behind their backs, and took out their phones to take pictures. After a few beautiful photos, I couldn't bear to ask, "Where are we going? This is the first time I know that there is a cable car in Manhattan."

"The place we went to was called Roosevelt Island, a long and narrow island located on the East River in New York City, between the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens. The island is very small, about 3,000 meters in length, and the range is about the same as from the east of Manhattan. Between 46th Street and East 85th Street, it only takes 30 minutes to walk from the southernmost end to the northernmost end, but this is almost the safest place in New York, with a resident population of only about 10,000. Most of them are international students studying in New York or in Manhattan. Office workers working in the Upper East Side."

Yang Cheng gave an introduction while hugging Xu Xian’s body and admiring the views of Manhattan and Queens on both sides of the East River. Because it is not the peak time, there are few people going to Roosevelt Island. Yang Cheng is currently on this cable car. There were only 4 passengers in total, including his two bodyguards.

   Xu Xian is still not accustomed to having close contact with men in public, even if there are no outsiders here, holding up the wind-blown hair, twisting uneasy in Yang Cheng's arms.

   "What are we going to do on the island?" Xu Xian was struggling, so she had to rely on Yang Cheng to keep poking her head and looking down, but then she retracted for fear of heights. He enjoyed playing by himself.

   "I went to visit an expert from outside the world, I just got a painting, I want this expert to help me." Yang Cheng turned his head and pointed to the painting tube behind the bodyguard to explain the purpose of the trip.

   After the cable car stopped at the station on the island, the residents of the island soon took the cable car to Manhattan, while Yang Cheng took Xu Xian and his bodyguards, and took the free bus on the island.

The living environment of Luo Island is very beautiful. People walk to the river to blow the wind, sit on the grass and bask in the sun, or run and run. The living facilities on the island are also very comprehensive. There are banks, shops, There are restaurants, Starbucks, and even a country Z supermarket. Living on the island can basically meet your daily needs, but the transportation is not convenient. Of course, if you don’t have to go to Manhattan or Queens every day, it’s a different matter.

   Take the free bus all the way to the southernmost tip of Roosevelt Island. The bus driver enthusiastically bid farewell to Yang Cheng and his party, and invited them to eat at the restaurant opened by his house, apparently treating Yang Cheng and the others as tourists.

The bus terminal is at the entrance of the park at the southern end. The scenery here is pleasant, and you can see Long Island and the United Nations Headquarters. A gentle breeze blowing from the river, with a touch of moisture, makes the temperature on the island even worse than Manhattan. A few degrees lower, but away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere is still very desirable. .

   Yang Cheng was worried that Xu Xian would catch a cold, so he gave up the idea of ​​going to the park and walked directly to the address in his memory, followed by two bodyguards.

Yang Cheng deliberately came to Roosevelt Island. The stranger who wanted to visit was actually a retired broker. No one knew what his real name was. Everyone called him Skyler. This name originated in the Netherlands. Words, used to describe people who have leadership qualities, are optimistic, and open-minded, are in line with the identity of a broker.

  Schuyler has been living in seclusion on Roosevelt Island since he retired, and he hasn't seen him out of the island all year round. Anyone looking for something to do with him has to go to the island to visit him personally.

   Skyler's home is located on the top floor of an apartment at the southernmost tip of Luodao. Yang Cheng took Xu Xian's slightly cold hand up the stairs to the top floor and knocked on the door gently.

   For a while, seeing that there was no movement inside, Xu Xian picked up her hair, leaned on the door and listened cutely. Suddenly he gestured to Yang Cheng and said, "Someone is coming."

The next second, the iron gate creaked and was pushed open from the inside to the outside. In front of Yang Cheng, a kind old man with a crane and a childish face appeared. Some of his short stature had a full spirit that people could not ignore. At the moment of Orange, he asked in a thick British accent, "You are...jason?"

   Yang Cheng was about to introduce herself, but when she heard Skyler call out her name, she was a little overjoyed. "Unexpectedly, after many years, Mr. Skyler can recognize me at a glance?"

   "Hehe~ How can we not have a good memory in our business? Please come in." Schuyler boasted, turning his body sideways, and let Yang Cheng and his party into the house.

   The apartment is not big, only about 100 square meters, but the huge outdoor terrace outside the living room, which was turned into a tulip flowerbed by Skyler, is a bit poetic, but unfortunately it is past the time when the tulips are in full bloom.

   "Is this your girlfriend?" Skyler did not have the awareness of the host to provide drinks to the guests. Shi Shiran sat on the main sofa and asked Xu Xian, who was squeezed with Yang Cheng.

   Yang Cheng neither affirmed nor rejected, but just said, "She is my woman."

   Xu Xian greeted me with a gentle and obedient greeting, "Hello, Mr. Skyler, it's nice to meet you."

   "Okay, just tell me what's the matter? My place is small, so I won't leave you to stay longer." Skyler has always been choking, and this hasn't changed a bit when he gets old.

   Yang Cheng didn't respond much to this, but Xu Xian pouted a little unhappy.

   "Of course, I came here this time to trouble Mr. Skyler to help me find someone, but before that, I would like to ask you to identify a painting." Yang Cheng snapped his fingers at the bodyguard and motioned to bring the painting tube over.

   Yang Cheng got up personally, spread the fake oil painting on the table, and gestured to Skyler to please. Then he played with the ring on Xu Xian's slender finger with peace of mind, and waited quietly.

   "This is Degas's bath~girl?" Skyler put on the glasses and told the origin of the painting at a glance.

Yang Cheng smiled inexplicably at the corner of her mouth and did not answer this question. Sure enough, it didn't take long before Skyler discovered the same problem that Yang Cheng had observed in Wendy's house. He retorted, "No, this is not the real thing. ."

   took the time to raise his head and saw that Yang Cheng still looked like a faint smile, and teased, "Are you dumb?"

   Yang Cheng smiled wryly, "Didn't Mr. Skyler guess all of them?"

"Hmph, I'm not sure, but now I'm sure, this is a fake, but this person is extremely skilled, and he can't tell the difference if he is replaced by ordinary people. However, there are not many people who have this skill now, it will Who is it?" Skyler snorted and said to himself.

   Yang Cheng took out a high-powered magnifying glass from his pocket and handed it over, pointing to the secret part of the girl in the painting and prompting, "Mr. Skyler, look at that."

Xu Xian on the side turned his head subconsciously as soon as the painting was opened, waiting for Yang Cheng to point to the girl’s half fruit, and even more so out of breath, he twisted the fine meat around Yang Cheng's waist and whispered softly. Muttered, "Rogue~"

   Yang Cheng cried and rubbed the sore spot, leaning into Xu Xian's ear and explaining, "Little girl, are you jealous of the characters in the painting?"

   "Who is jealous~" Xu Xian spit out fragrant tongue~www.readwn.com~Don't ignore Yang Cheng and focus on admiring the artwork in Skyler's home.

   Skyler over there, in accordance with Yang Cheng's reminder, took a magnifying glass, looked carefully for a few minutes, raised his head and said in a surprised tone, "Awesome! Really awesome! Do you want me to find this Z.H for you?"

   Skyler sat back on the sofa, his eyes still did not move from the painting, but Yang Cheng's intentions were directly expressed from his mouth.

   "Yes, I don't know Mr. Skyler, would you like to do this?" Yang Cheng shook Xu Xian's hand and said sternly.

   "Yes, but the reward is for this painting." Skyler's straight-forward character never circumvents him, asking for reward.

   Yang Cheng frowned and considered for a while, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, but Mr. Skyler must help me find the master, just one address is not enough."

Anyway, after I found this ZH, I wanted to have as many paintings as I wanted, and it’s not bad at that time. It’s just a pity that the US$1 million would not pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. After wasting a Rolls-Royce, Yang Cheng's heart twitched slightly.

"Huh, you don't need to say, this is the old man's principle of doing things. If it weren't for the sake of this painting, I wouldn't waste time." Skyler is just such a violent temper and didn't target Yang Cheng. meaning.

  Yes, Yang Cheng pulled Xu Xian to stand, put down his business card on the table, and offered to leave, "Well, this is my personal phone number. If you have any news, please inform Mr. Skyler in time, it's troublesome."

   Skyler waved impatiently and motioned to Yang Cheng to leave by himself, but he was still immersed in the world of oil painting and couldn't extricate himself.
