In just a few minutes, Chen Feng's live stream had surged in popularity, reaching three million views! Leaving the other live streams far behind!
Amya wanted to say something more, but she was interrupted by the voices of the pursuit team as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Chen Feng! Stay away from Miss Amya!"
"Stop struggling! Surrender now, Chen Feng!"
"Release the princess!"
Hearing the noise around her, Amy frowned, a hint of displeasure appearing on her face, but she didn't say anything.
Chen Feng glanced at the furious Lin Chuanxiong and the others, and smiled, "It seems I'm not very welcome here. It's about time, I think I should leave."
After speaking, Chen Feng placed his right hand in front of him and bowed slightly to the crowd, as if he were taking a bow at the end of his performance.
Amya tried to stop him, but the moment her fingers touched Chen Feng's clothes, Chen Feng instantly transformed into countless flower petals that scattered in all directions.
Only one flower with a white card attached landed precisely in Amya's hand:
"Beautiful Miss Amya: "
May the brilliance of the gemstone be with you; the Heart of the Ocean, returned to its original owner.
—Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid.
"Heh, an interesting phantom thief..."
Amy chuckled and, before anyone could react, quickly slipped the card into her pocket.

The balcony on the 12th floor of a high-end apartment late at night.
A white figure stood upright on the railing, the white cloak behind him swaying in the breeze, making a "whooshing" sound.
The people inside the house seemed to hear the noise coming from the balcony, so they went out and went to the balcony to check.
click!
The glass door to the balcony was pushed open, and the two people inside and outside the room looked at each other.
"It's nice to meet you again, Miss Li Qingyan." Chen Feng greeted the people inside the room with a smile.
"Chen Feng?" Li Qingyan looked surprised, but after realizing what was happening, she became very wary, and reached for the handcuffs on her lower back with her other hand.
"Oh dear, really? I came all this way to apologize to you, and it's after get off work hours now. Don't be so dedicated!"
Chen Feng raised his hands dramatically, but there was no sign of panic on his face.
Li Qingyan stared at Chen Feng's figure, remained silent for a while, and finally put the handcuffs back on her waist, but the vigilance in her eyes did not disappear.
How did you know where I live?
Chen Feng jumped down from the railing and replied, "It was just that I accidentally saw Ms. Li's personal information when I was hacking into the live streaming system last time."
"Cousin, who are you talking to?" a voice came from the living room.
Li Qingyan's panic was visibly palpable: "No...nobody..."
Before she could stop her, a girl wearing pink bunny pajamas appeared at the door.
"Aaaaaaah! Husband!!!"
Before Li Qingyan's shocked eyes, the pink figure had already bypassed her and rushed straight into Chen Feng's arms.
Li Qingyan stared wide-eyed at Chen Feng, her eyes seemingly asking: What did you do to my cousin?
Chen Feng spread his hands, looking completely innocent, but that annoying smile on his face still lingered.
Li Qingyan forcibly suppressed her anger, stepped forward, grabbed the girl's clothes by the back of her neck, and lifted her off Chen Feng.
"Wang Beibei! Can't you be a little more reserved?!"
"Ah! No! Let me go!" Wang Beibei was still struggling, but it was no use.
In the end, Li Qingyan grabbed him by the back of his neck and carried him back to his room.
boom!
As soon as the door closed, the world became quiet.
When Li Qingyan returned to the balcony, Chen Feng had already disappeared.
All that remained was a bouquet of twenty-five red roses with a card bearing the image of Kaito Kid.
"The beautiful Miss Li Qingyan: "
I apologize for my previous rudeness. Also, on this special day, may your youth and beauty last forever. Happy birthday, madam.
—Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid.
Li Qingyan held the bouquet of flowers, looking out at the dark world outside the balcony, lost in thought for a long time.
Perhaps even she herself did not expect that the only person who remembered her birthday would be Chen Feng, whom she had always regarded as her rival.
After a long while, a gentle breeze blew across the balcony, pulling Li Qingyan back to reality. She spoke in a voice only she could hear, "Thank you, Chen Feng, or rather... Phantom Thief Kid."
……
Chapter 20 Li Qingyan's Resignation
The next day.
A series of brand-new news posts surged to the top of the trending searches:
[Chen Feng, a player from the Thief Game's China Region 3, voluntarily returned the Heart of the Ocean!]
[Shocking! Chen Feng personally returned the Heart of the Ocean to Amya!]
[A love story between a phantom thief and a princess? Chen Feng personally puts a necklace on Princess Amya under the watchful eyes of millions of netizens.]
"It has to be Feng Shen! He's amazing at magic tricks, and even more amazing at flirting with girls!"
"The Heart of the Ocean! It's worth over a hundred million! He just gave it away like that? If he had hidden for a few more days, and the effective pursuit period had passed, wouldn't he have received equivalent compensation from the program team? Has he gone mad?"
"Amazing magic skills, unexpected theft techniques, and now, with the added bonus of not being greedy for money, I declare that Chen Feng will be my sole criterion for choosing a boyfriend from now on!"
"Girl, if you use my brother Feng as your standard for finding a boyfriend, you're probably going to be single forever!"
"Am I the only one in the world who's paying attention to Chen Feng's magic tricks? Doesn't anyone else wonder how he managed to appear out of thin air and then disappear in an instant?"
"We're not curious, we're only interested in how cool he looked performing magic under the moonlight!"
"A figure in the moonlight? A magician in the moonlight?"
Within half a day of the operation, keywords such as "Chen Feng," "Phantom Thief Kid," "The Magician Under the Moonlight," and "Heart of the Ocean" quickly swept across the entire internet.
There's even a saying circulating online: "In this world, you might not even know who the US president is, but you absolutely cannot not know who Phantom Thief Kid is!"
Inside the pursuit department.
The show's director, Director Wu, made a rare appearance here, and judging from the smile on his face, he was in a good mood.
"The team leaders have worked hard during this period. I have already written a report and am preparing to apply for bonuses for the three team leaders. I hope that the three of you will not refuse."
Director Wu was all smiles in the conference room.
Although things have been a bit bumpy these past few days, at least the outcome is good: the Heart of the Ocean wasn't stolen, we don't have to pay compensation, and we've kept our jobs.
In high spirits, he decided to do a favor and use the program's funds to win over the three pursuit team leaders in front of him.
Upon hearing Director Wu's words, Li Qingyan and the other two exchanged glances, all seeing the embarrassment in each other's eyes.
After all, if they were the ones who recovered the Heart of the Ocean, then they deserved the prize money, but...
This matter really has nothing to do with them! Even if the production team wanted to give them the money, they really wouldn't have the face to accept it!
The three remained silent for a while, and finally Li Qingyan stood up:
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Wu, but I would be unworthy of the bonus."
Upon hearing this, Director Wu's smile froze. He turned to Lin Chuanxiong and Sun Luo and asked, "Is that what you two mean as well?"
Lin Chuanxiong and his colleague nodded: "Thank you very much, Director Wu, but let's talk about the bonus after we catch Chen Feng."
After being rejected by the three men in succession, Director Wu was a little embarrassed, but on the surface he didn't show much change.
"Alright then, since all three of you think so, I won't force you. That's settled then, I have work to do, so I'll take my leave now..."
As he spoke, Director Wu got up to leave, but before he could reach the door, Li Qingyan called him back:
"Wait a moment, Director Wu."
Director Wu turned his head, thinking that Li Qingyan had changed her mind. Just as he was about to ask, Li Qingyan handed him a piece of paper and shut him up.
"Resignation letter?"
Director Wu was taken aback, his face filled with surprise as he looked at Li Qingyan.
It's worth noting that their program was funded and created by the World United Government, and every staff member there enjoys incredibly good benefits, including high salaries and a constant stream of subsidies.
People like Li Qingyan, who are already working in the police force, have some additional benefits. Not only do they continue to receive their salary from the police force, but they also receive subsidies here. Most importantly, they can increase their visibility, which is very beneficial for future promotions.
This is a great opportunity that everyone else would fight tooth and nail for, and she actually wants to quit her job?
Director Wu's voice naturally reached Lin Chuanxiong and his companion's ears, and both of them were startled. Clearly, they had not expected Li Qingyan's decision.
Lin Chuanxiong quickly stepped forward: "Qingyan, stop fooling around! Take the report back, this is no joke!"
Sun Luo also came over: "Captain Li, don't be impulsive! You should listen to Captain Lin and get the report back quickly."
Li Qingyan smiled and declined their advice: "Uncle Lin, Xiao Sun, thank you for your kindness, but I have thought it through. There is an exchange program in Europe that the police force is going to, and I have already signed up. I can take this opportunity to relax and clear my head."
Lin Chuanxiong had already guessed what Li Qingyan meant by "relaxing his mind".
He never expected that the first person his eldest niece had ever found who moved him would turn out to be Chen Feng in disguise. This would be hard for anyone to accept.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuanxiong sighed softly: "Take good care of yourself over there. When are you planning to leave?"
"My flight is at 10 p.m. tonight, so I have to leave soon."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuanxiong gently patted Li Qingyan's shoulder, said only "Take care of yourself," and then turned and left the conference room.
