You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The entire room fell silent.

The clown's smiling face on the Ace of Spades was like a silent slap across the face of every self-proclaimed elite police officer.

Just as the stagnant air was about to be crushed by despair, a sharp-eyed SWAT officer suddenly let out a startled shout, breaking the deathly silence.

"That porter! He's trying to run away!"

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it!

The hunched-over mover that Lin Chen had previously targeted was now rushing towards the fire escape door of the exhibition hall like a frightened mouse, taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the display case.

This unexpected turn of events made Li Mingyu, whose mind had already shut down, feel as if he had grasped the last straw!

The despair and deathly pallor on his face were instantly replaced by a morbid ecstasy. He roared with all his might, as if he had been injected with chicken blood!

"Grab him! The diamond must be on him! Quick!!"

The two elite SWAT officers closest to the side door reacted instantly, bursting out like two cheetahs pouncing on their prey!

Just as the mover was about to touch the doorknob, he felt a tightness on the back of his neck, and an irresistible force came through!

He was lifted into the air and then slammed hard onto the ground!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The SWAT officer's knee was pressed firmly against his back, and the cold muzzle of his gun was pointed at the back of his head.

Another team member then roughly searched him.

Soon, he pulled something out of the inside pocket of the porter's dirty work clothes.

It was a huge diamond that still shone with a brilliant blue light even under emergency lights!

Shining brightly and dazzling!

"Found it!"

The SWAT officer who found the diamonds let out an excited shout!

These two words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly injecting themselves into everyone's hearts!

Li Mingyu practically scrambled over and snatched the diamond from the SWAT officer's hand.

When he felt that cold, hard touch, he was so excited that his whole body trembled!

Lost and found!

Do not!

It was under Li Mingyu's brilliant command that the tide was turned!

"Caught red-handed! The suspect has been caught red-handed! Case solved!!"

Li Mingyu raised the blue diamond high and roared in victory at everyone inside and outside the exhibition hall!

His voice even drowned out the noise from the media outside!

Outside the police line, flashes of light created a cold, white ocean.

Countless cameras, like dark gun barrels, surrounded Li Mingyu, with microphones almost poking his face.

"Deputy Captain Li! How did you uncover the criminal's plot in such a short time?"

"Does the success of this operation prove the absolute correctness of your previous 'net-like' plan?"

Li Mingyu stood in the center of the flashing lights, enjoying this hero-like treatment; he felt like he was floating on air.

He straightened his back, cleared his throat, and announced confidently to the camera.

"Under my meticulous surveillance and control, Li Mingyu, no criminal will have nowhere to hide!"

"Magic? Sorcery? In the face of absolute power, they are nothing but the antics of a clown!"

At the other end of the exhibition hall.

Looking at the diamond she had lost and found, Ye Qingcheng's extremely tense nerves finally relaxed, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

She was just about to step forward and say a few words of thanks to Li Mingyu.

A lazy, slightly mocking voice rang out at an inopportune moment.

"Wait a minute."

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Li Mingyu, who was immersed in the spotlight, suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at the source of the voice—Lin Chen.

"Advisor Lin."

A mocking sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, his tone filled with the superiority of a victor.

"What's wrong? The case's solved, and you're not happy about it? Are you jealous?"

Lin Chen completely ignored his provocation, and simply strode over to him with his long legs, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Under the watchful eyes of countless cameras and bewildered gazes, he reached out and took the priceless blue diamond from Li Mingyu's hand.

"Deputy Captain Li."

Lin Chen held the diamond up to the light, and the playful smile on his lips widened.

Don't congratulate me too soon.

"I think you should see an ophthalmologist to get your eyes checked."

Li Mingyu's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and he flew into a rage.

"What do you mean! You surnamed Lin, don't make false accusations!"

Lin Chen smiled.

He stopped talking and, in front of everyone, gently pinched the huge blue diamond between his index finger and thumb.

Then, exert a slight force.

"Click—"

A crisp cracking sound echoed throughout the entire venue!

The sound didn't resemble a gemstone shattering; it was more like a cheap sugar cube being easily crushed, so abrupt it sent chills down everyone's spine!

In Li Mingyu's horrified gaze, which widened instantly and almost burst out of its sockets!

Under the sudden, contracting gazes of Ye Qingcheng and Su Qingge!

That legendary blue diamond, hailed as one of the hardest substances in the world, and valued at $300 million.

Between Lin Chen's two fingers, it was like a cheap glass toy.

It shattered with a deafening roar!

It turned into a handful of sparkling, shimmering... dust.

It slipped through his fingers with a soft rustling sound.

Deathly silence replaced all sound.

Time seemed to have been paused at that moment.

Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, their eyes wide open and their mouths agape, staring intently at the handful of glittering powder in Lin Chen's hand.

My mind was completely blank.
