Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Director Wu and Sun Luo also left one after another.

Li Qingyan was the only one left in the huge conference room. She didn't stay long. She went back to her office, took out her already packed suitcase, and then took a taxi to the airport.

The suitcase was light and contained very little, just a few changes of clothes and... a bouquet of 25 roses in a box...

……

Two days later, in the eastern part of H City.

The front desk of a newly opened coffee shop.

A young man who bore a striking resemblance to Chen Feng was sitting at the front desk.

Of course, the young man was none other than Chen Feng himself, only with some slight disguise on his face.

Since the incident with Ocean Heart, Chen Feng's live stream has become increasingly popular. Even when there are no viewers, he can maintain a million online viewers, and at its peak, it even approached 400 million!

Such high popularity has also led to a problem.

More and more people are coming to H City to follow celebrities and travel, and even hotels in the city center are finding it difficult to find available rooms. Some large hotels have even put up signs saying "No reservations without three days' advance notice," which shows just how popular it is.

This is precisely why Chen Feng is now facing a problem with finding accommodation.

He's a very easygoing person and doesn't want to compete with tourists for the limited number of hotel rooms every day.

After much thought, Chen Feng simply rented a two-story shop in Dongcheng, with a coffee shop on the ground floor and a rest area on the upper floor.

It's quite convenient.

As for the money...

Chen Feng is not short of money. Whether it was the original owner or now, the inheritance left by the original owner's parents alone is nearly ten million RMB in his bank account.

This is one of the reasons why he could return the Heart of the Ocean without any hesitation.

Chapter 21 The Newly Opened Coffee Shop

Just then, two girls walked in, chatting and laughing.

One of the slightly taller girls pushed the door open first, pulled another girl to the front desk, and said excitedly.

"See! I wasn't lying to you! Doesn't the owner of this coffee shop look just like Kid?"

"It really is true. I thought Zhou Binglun was outrageous enough, but I didn't expect... It seems I still know too little about this absurd world!"

Another girl chimed in with a laugh.

Chen Feng stood up and politely asked, "Hello, would you like something?"

The tall girl glanced at the various coffees on the counter screen and said, "I'd like a half-sweet mocha."

“Me too!” another girl chimed in.

"Okay, please have a seat for a moment, the coffee will be here shortly," Chen Feng replied with a smile.

After paying, the two girls found a seat by the window.

As soon as she sat down, the tall girl couldn't wait to speak:

"Sissi, did you watch Kidd's live stream? It was amazing! That diamond necklace worth over a hundred million! He just returned it like that, and the final shot of him turning into flower petals was so cool!"

As she spoke, the tall girl became very excited, as if she had personally experienced all of this.

Looking at her excited sister beside her, Rosie said helplessly, "Alright, Yuqing, you've said it so many times already. It's just a thief, is it really that big of a deal?"

Upon hearing the word "thief," Sun Yuqing's face suddenly turned serious: "Not a thief! A phantom thief!"

Rosie sighed softly, not wanting to argue with her about the matter.

Even she didn't know what had gotten into her best friend lately, that she had become obsessed with a thief.

He even got into a fight with a boy in his class who was badmouthing Chen Feng because of this, but fortunately it didn't escalate.

Just then, Chen Feng had already brewed the coffee and brought it over.

"Two and a half cups of mocha, please enjoy."

Chen Feng smiled and handed the coffee to the two of them.

Before he could leave, Sun Yuqing, her face beaming with excitement, stopped him: "Hey boss, do you know Kidd? Or rather, Chen Feng, who looks a lot like you!"

Chen Feng nodded slightly: "I've seen him on the news. He's a guy who calls himself a phantom thief."

"Yes! It's him!" Sun Yuqing was even happier, as if she had found a common topic and completely opened up.

"This is the first time in my life I've ever seen someone send a notice before stealing something. Dressed in white, he moved freely in full view of everyone. Oh, and he's also a very skilled magician!"

At this point, Sun Yuqing's eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something, and she looked at Chen Feng again.

"Hey boss, do you know magic tricks?"

"Perhaps a little bit," Chen Feng chuckled, giving an ambiguous answer.

"That's a pity." Sun Yuqing was a little disappointed, resting her chin on her hands and muttering to herself, "I wonder when I'll be able to see Kidd live again. I hope I can see him at the Mask Festival."

What is the Mask Festival?

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

"You don't know about the Mask Festival?" Rosie, who was standing next to her, seemed even more surprised, but she quickly understood.

"Boss, you're not from around here, are you?"

Chen Feng nodded: "I just arrived in H City a while ago, so I don't know much about some of the local festivals here."

Upon hearing this, Rosie gave a knowing look and began to explain.

"The Mask Festival is a unique festival in our H City, just like the Kite Festival in a certain city in S Province."

It will be on the last Sunday of August, which is five days from now. On that day, everyone will go out wearing masks, and there will be a mask party. Oh, and during the party, the H City Museum will also bring out its prized white jade mask for everyone to admire—that's it.

As she spoke, Rosie took out her phone and handed it to Chen Feng.

On the screen is an exquisite jade mask, milky white in color and beautifully crafted.

Below the image was a poll, which Chen Feng glanced at casually, but the content made him chuckle.

The poll question turned out to be about whether Chen Feng would take action against the White Jade Mask.

The number of people who chose "yes" was over 13, far exceeding the 2 who chose "no".

After the two left.

Chen Feng returned to his seat at the front desk, his fingers flying across the keyboard of his laptop, searching for information about the "White Jade Mask" and the "H City Mask Festival".

The value of the white jade mask that was found in the search also surprised him. It was valued at 1.86 million RMB, which was no less than the Heart of the Ocean necklace.

As Chen Feng closed his laptop, a smile appeared on his lips; he had already made up his mind.

"A white jade mask? Perhaps it will be another good performance."

……

The next day.

Downtown, Enchanted Square.

This is a large square built under the auspices of the H municipal government. It was named "Enchanted Square" because the cobblestone pattern in the center resembles a wine jug.

At this moment, in the center of the square, a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet and dressed as a manager was personally directing the work on site under the scorching sun.

"Hey, you there, why are those two lanterns so far apart? Are you splitting up? Move them closer!"

"And that section of the audience over there! Didn't I tell you? There will be a performance here. Aren't you blocking the way by putting your chair so close together?"

"And the archway..."

Ring ring—

Just as the manager was extremely busy, a phone call interrupted his voice.

The middle-aged manager frowned, looking annoyed, and took out his phone, seemingly wanting to see who was calling him when he was so busy.

However, when he saw the caller's name, his expression immediately changed:

"Hello? Director Zheng? Yes, it's me, Xiao Zhao. Don't worry, we will definitely pay attention to defense here and won't give anyone a chance to take advantage of us. That white jade mask? I'll go pick it up in a bit, right? Okay, I'll be right there now."

After hanging up the phone, Manager Zhao casually picked two people and drove towards the museum.

Upon arriving at their destination, Manager Zhao parked the car and walked confidently into the museum.

When he arrived at the glass case where the white jade mask was stored, Director Zheng was already waiting for him there.

"Director Zheng, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Manager Zhao walked up with a smile and shook hands with Director Zheng.

Looking at the white jade mask in the glass case, Director Zheng said with a serious expression, "Xiao Zhao, this mask is the most prized possession of our city museum. You must take good care of it!"

"Definitely, definitely," Manager Zhao readily agreed.

"Alright, open it."

At Director Zheng's command, someone immediately took out the key, squatted down, and prepared to open the glass case.

But before he could make a move, a square card hidden next to the base of the glass dome came into his view:

As the grand festival arrives, with the waving of the Scepter of Chronos and the encroaching darkness from the abyss, I will appear alongside the white jade mask.

— Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid.

Chapter 22 The New Chase Team!

As with the previous two times, while releasing the announcement offline, Chen Feng also used hacking techniques to change the screen of his live stream to the image of the announcement.

"The white jade mask? Feng Shen really only steals the expensive things. He just returned the Heart of the Ocean and now he's set his sights on the white jade mask."

"Haha, this is the H City Museum's prized possession! I bet the museum director is scratching himself bald by now!"

"Let's not talk about the museum director. I'm more curious about how Director Wu from the production team will react."

"What other reaction could there be? They'd be furious, wouldn't they? They just wanted to put on a simple show, but a real thief showed up, and he only stole the expensive stuff!"
