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

Jiangcheng City Museum.

Under the cover of night, the magnificent building was illuminated by the blinding police lights, making it appear as bright as day.

"Quickly! Seal off all entrances and exits on the first floor!"

"The windows on the second floor must be kept under constant surveillance! Not even a fly can be allowed in!"

Su Qingge was wearing a tight-fitting tactical uniform, holding a walkie-talkie tightly in her hand, her beautiful face filled with anxiety and solemnity.

Her forehead was covered in fine, fragrant sweat, and a few strands of hair clung to her cheeks, which only added to her breathtakingly sharp beauty.

Just now, bomb disposal experts discovered a giant bomb with an extremely complex structure on a load-bearing column in the underground exhibition hall!

The countdown is on, less than twenty minutes left!

All the security personnel and staff of the museum had been evacuated, leaving only Su Qingge with the most elite riot police to guard the place.

"Buzz—Rumble!!!"

Just then, the extremely violent roar of a motorcycle engine, like the howl of a wild beast, shattered the tranquility of the night sky!

A black police motorcycle came to a steady stop outside the police line with an extremely wild, almost ground-hugging drift and screeching tires!

The car door... oh no, this car doesn't have a door.

Lin Chen took a long stride and stepped off the motorcycle with great style.

He had already thrown away his bespoke suit jacket when he climbed the Yip Building, and now he was only wearing a white shirt that was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his body.

That perfect inverted triangle physique, and the explosive muscle lines faintly visible under his clothes, exuded a breathtakingly wild male hormone!

"Lin Chen!"

When Su Qingge saw that familiar figure, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, seemed to find its anchor and suddenly fell back into her stomach.

But she quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes, snorted, and strode forward.

"You actually came? I thought you were so engrossed in President Ye's charms that you forgot all about business!"

Su Qingge's tone was icy, but the intense sourness she couldn't hide was enough to make teeth ache even ten miles away.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's lips curled into a playful, wicked smile.

"Hey, Team Leader Su, your nose is pretty sharp, like a dog's! You can smell the vinegar from 800 meters away?"

"You're talking nonsense! Who...who's jealous!"

Su Qingge's beautiful face instantly turned bright red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she glared fiercely at Lin Chen.

"Stop talking nonsense! The bomb is down there, and the bomb disposal experts say there's no way to get to it. Go check it out right now!"

Lin Chen didn't move. Instead, he casually took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"call--"

As he exhaled pale blue smoke, Lin Chen's deep, dark eyes gleamed with a cold, all-knowing light in the night.

"No need to go, that bomb is fake."

Lin Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in the ears of Su Qingge and the surrounding special police officers!

"What?! It's fake?!"

Su Qingge stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

"Impossible! Bomb disposal experts scanned it with their equipment, and there was definitely a reaction of high explosives inside!"

"The presence of explosive reaction does not mean that it can explode."

Lin Chen flicked his cigarette ash and looked at the museum's entrance.

"Jack is an extremely arrogant perfectionist who treats crime like a magic show."

"He planted a real bomb in the subway, positioned snipers in the Yip's Building, and created such a huge commotion throughout the city, all to drain your police force!"

"The reason we placed this elaborately constructed, extremely intimidating-looking fake bomb in the museum is to force you to clear the area and evacuate everyone!"

Lin Chen turned his head and stared intently into Su Qingge's eyes.

"A feint to the east while attacking in the west, a diversionary tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain,

"His real target is the national treasure that's being exhibited here tonight in top secret—the Nine Dragons Jade Cup!"

Su Qingge gasped, feeling a chill run down her spine!

If Lin Chen hadn't seen through Jack's scheme in time, the national treasure would have truly become Jack's possession once the police withdrew for their safety!

"So what do we do now? Storm in and arrest them?!"

Su Qingge drew her sidearm and asked urgently.

"stupid."

Lin Chen uttered a single word without any mercy, which almost made Su Qingge lose her temper.

"Take your men and openly guard this place! Turn on all the police lights, shout through loudspeakers, and make it look like you're facing a major enemy."

"Draw Jack's attention entirely to the main entrance and the first floor."

Lin Chen stubbed out his cigarette, put his hands in his pockets, and looked intently at a dark patch of lawn on the side of the museum.

"As for me..."

"I'll go and meet this magician."

[Divine Insight], fully activated!

Om-!

In Lin Chen's retina, the entire museum's architectural structure, security lines, and blind spots in the surveillance system instantly transformed into an extremely clear 3D perspective view!

Main entrance?

Impossible, Jack isn't that stupid.

Ventilation ducts?

It's too narrow, and it has an infrared alarm.

"Found it."

Lin Chen's lips curled into a chilling smile.

"The abandoned sewers in the underground vault... that was the only blind spot not covered by the entire museum's security system."

Without wasting any more words with Su Qingge, Lin Chen's figure instantly blended into the darkness, silently making his way towards the abandoned sewer entrance.

……

Ten minutes later.

The museum is located 30 meters underground, outside the vault.

It was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."

Turbid sewage dripped from the rusty pipes.

Lin Chen, like an upside-down bat, used his [God-level Rock Climbing] skills to cling tightly to the dark corner of the sewer ceiling.

He looked down at his white shirt, which was covered in mud, and couldn't help but mentally rant.

"Damn it, my Armani haute couture shirt is completely ruined because of catching a thief."

"System, does this count as a work injury? I absolutely have to get reimbursed!"

Just as Lin Chen was cursing in his heart...

"laugh--!!!"

Not far ahead, on the blast-proof door of the underground vault, which was half a meter thick, a blinding blue high-temperature cutting flame suddenly appeared!

"They're here."

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed sharply, and his breathing rate instantly dropped to a minimum.

"Creak—Bang!"

With a dull thud, the blast door, which was said to be impenetrable even by armor-piercing bullets, was actually cut open, leaving a round hole big enough for one person to pass through!

The heavy metal block slammed heavily onto the ground.

Immediately afterwards, several ghostly black figures nimbly slipped into the round hole.

There were six people in total.

The five at the front were all dressed in black special operations uniforms, carrying American submachine guns equipped with silencers, and their movements were extremely professional and ruthless.

He looks like a top-tier mercenary who has tasted blood on the battlefield!

And behind them was the last person to walk in.

He was dressed in an elegant black tailcoat, wearing a tall black top hat, and his face was covered with a pale, bizarre clown mask with a mouth that stretched to his ears!

Magician, Jack!

"Well done, guys."

Jack dusted off non-existent dust, his voice, amplified by a voice changer, carrying a chillingly hoarse and manic quality.

"Listen to those stupid sirens up there."

"The police in Jiangcheng are probably trembling with fear right now because of that fake bomb, hahaha!"

Jack spread his arms wide, as if he were appreciating a beautiful symphony, his tone filled with extreme arrogance and mockery.

"And that so-called genius detective Lin Chen, is probably still in the Ye Group building, crying his eyes out to that female CEO, right?"

"Play with me? He can't even touch my shadow!"

Lin Chen, who was hiding at the top of the shadows, almost burst out laughing when he heard Jack's extremely arrogant and boastful remarks.

"Yeah?"

Lin Chen sneered inwardly.

"Looking three steps ahead and taking one step at a time, do you think you're standing on the atmosphere?"

"Sorry, I've been waiting for you in outer space for ages."

Lin Chen didn't rush to make a move because he knew that there was a real "feast" waiting for these idiots ahead.

He was like a patient hunter, quietly lurking in the darkness!
