Chapter 616: The Gift

Since Li Du did not even know Ferrari's background, how could he explain it to him?

Nonetheless, as Jim King was evidently a very smart person, Li Du could not ask him regarding this. He figured that if he were to ask, the other party would be able to immediately infer that his relationship with Ferrari was an ordinary one.

Li Du continued speaking in a vague manner. ”I will bring this up to him when I go back.”

As Jim King saw his reply as being perfunctory, he became a little anxious.

After rubbing his hands together out of habit, he pulled open his desk drawer and took out a box before handing it over to Li Du. ”Oh, mate, there is something I almost forgot. Haha, I have prepared a small gift for you. Hopefully, it can make up for some of the damages you have suffered from this incident that our company is responsible for.”

Li Du responded, ”You are too kind, Boss King.”

Jim King opened up the box, which had a piece of jade inside. The jade was square shaped, pale green and had a red ribbon tied around its corner. It looked very beautiful.

He pushed the box in front of Li Du and said, ”Take a look at this gift. See if you like it.”

Li Du did not look at the gift at all. After sitting down, he released the little bug to search for the two oil paintings that had previously caught its interest.

Before releasing the little bug, he was worried that Jim King might have placed the two paintings somewhere else and that the little bug might not be able to find them.

As it turned out, he was worried for nothing. After the little bug was released, it immediately dashed towards Jim King and passed through his plump body, before rushing straight for the two Van Gogh paintings behind him.

Li Du took control of the little bug and looked, without any expression, at the oil paintings on the wall.

The painting on the left depicted a scene of a sea before the coming of a storm. The sea water was curled up into waves that drove a boat forward, while a few people were scattered along the shore. In the background, there were plants that were drawn using rough lines.

After using the ability to turn back time, a few scenes appeared in front of him.

The first scene was of a man with a diamond-shaped face, sitting on a beach. With his unkempt appearance, vacant gaze and eyebrows that were tightly knit together, he looked like he was in some trance.

Li Du was stunned by seeing this scene. The man in the scene was the owner who signed this painting, who was one of mankind's most remarkable artists of the 19th century. He was the real Vincent Van Gogh!

As he frequently dabbled in a wide range of subjects, Li Du had seen many photos of artworks such as Van Gogh's self-portrait, Van Gogh's old photos and other people's sketches of Van Gogh. He had seen them all.

Right now, the person in front of him was Van Gogh!

Subsequently, a few scenes which were related to the painting appeared.

Van Gogh completed the painting in one sitting. Later on, seemingly unsatisfied with the painting, he colored it several times over before casting it aside.

The painting was then taken away by a Caucasian man who looked like Van Gogh. Even though the man very meticulously touched up and conserved the painting, he also seemed unsatisfied with it and cast it aside as well.

Further ahead in time, the painting repeatedly changed hands before ending up inside a castle. During a time when the castle was being cleaned, the oil painting was accidentally discarded.

According to the information provided by this scene, the painting was not the only one discarded. There was another painting, which depicted a church within a forest, that had also been discarded.

Li Du subconsciously looked to the side and saw such a painting, which depicted a church within a forest and a lot of people standing around the church...
