Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Director Zheng, we have made ample preparations for this operation against Chen Feng and are absolutely certain that we can capture him in one fell swoop, so please don't worry too much."

Wei Jingyang's voice was not low, and the surrounding crowd heard it clearly.

Many people began to discuss it.

"Who is this guy? He's got quite the nerve."

"Didn't you see the personnel adjustment list that the pursuit team released yesterday? His name is Wei Jingyang, the new pursuit captain of District 3. I heard he's a rich second-generation."

"Heh, rich kid, huh? No wonder you're so arrogant. Those guys in the pursuit team said they were going to catch Feng Shen, but they haven't caught a hair on his head yet."

"I've already filmed the video and uploaded it to Douyin. I'm waiting to be proven wrong."

"Hey bro, what's your Douyin ID? I'll grab a seat."

"No problem."

……

"What a load of bull. He thinks he can catch Kidd? Dream on!" Sun Yuqing muttered from a distance.

Looking at Sun Yuqing's indignant face, Rosie said, "After all, she was sent by the headquarters. It's normal for her to have this confidence, right? And how do you know she will definitely fail?"

"It's very simple. His opponent is Lord Kid, that's enough, don't you think, boss?"

Sun Yuqing raised her head, as proud as a swan, and nudged Chen Feng beside her with her elbow as she spoke.

Chen Feng smiled slightly: "Perhaps."

Seeing this, Rosie couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.

My best friend is hopeless...

Seemingly hearing the surrounding whispers, Wei Jingyang revealed a disdainful smile, strode up to the platform in front of the clock tower, and loudly proclaimed:

"Everyone, I, Wei Jingyang, on behalf of the 3rd District Pursuit Team, hereby make a promise to you that this Mask Festival will proceed as usual, and the white jade mask will still be hung on the top of the clock tower for everyone to admire."

Furthermore, I will personally be there. If Chen Feng dares to come, I will personally arrest him and end this farce!

His impassioned words caused Sun Luo and the others who came with him to frown frequently.

As a detective, he really disliked his boss who always maintained a high profile.

But there was nothing he could say; after all, the other person held a higher position.

"Really? Captain Wei is very confident! Let's hope he doesn't make a mistake and become a laughing stock."

A cool, clear voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned to look, and Wei Jingyang frowned, wondering who was so bold as to openly challenge him.

"Amya? What's she doing here?"

Chen Feng was taken aback by the crowd.

If he remembered correctly, Amya didn't seem to have any dealings with the H City Museum.

Everyone was drawn to Amy, who was dressed in a white dress, with an arrogant expression and a stunning beauty like a fairy.

"Princess Amya? She also wants to participate in the Mask Festival?"

"Dude, are you stupid? They're probably here because of Kidd's announcement."

"The princess and the phantom thief, I could ship this couple for a year."

As they spoke, Amy had already arrived in front of the clock tower.

Wherever she went, people spontaneously made way for her.

"What? Aren't you welcoming me?"

Amy speaks excellent Chinese, and because of this, she communicates in Chinese in almost all activities she participates in in China.

"Not at all, Miss Amya, we are honored by your presence. We just don't know if there's anything we can do to help you?"

Upon seeing that it was Amya, Wei Jingyang immediately put on a smile.

He walked up to Amya, extended his hand to her left hand, and seemed to want to give her a Western-style hand kiss, just like Kidd did in the live stream.

However, Amyya easily dodged it with a simple turn.

"Captain Wei, you're too kind. I just heard about the festival here and wanted to come and see what the new target that thief is after is like. Is that alright?"

Chapter 24 The Unsolvable Forecast

Although Wei Jingyang seemed a little embarrassed when his hand-kissing gesture was rejected, he quickly recovered.

“Of course it’s convenient. In fact, we had already decided to hang the mask on the clock tower tonight. Since Miss Amya wants to see it, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little earlier.”

Director Zheng was taken aback when he heard this. When did they decide to put the masks up tonight?

And even if they really do die, isn't that their museum's business? What does it have to do with their pursuit department?

Thinking of this, Director Zheng frowned, but then he gave up the idea of ​​stopping it.

Not to mention the risk of offending both Princess Amya and Wei Jingyang, the son of the chairman of Shanhe Group, if we go forward now.

Now that Wei Jingyang has intervened and made the decision for me, even if something goes wrong with the white jade mask later, it will be Wei Jingyang's responsibility, and I won't be held accountable.

Thinking of this, Director Zheng silently withdrew his outstretched foot.

It's rare to find someone willing to take the blame for you, so why would you refuse?

With Wei Jingyang's order, the white jade mask, which had been placed in the escort vehicle and guarded by more than a dozen people in shifts, was taken out.

It is milky white all over, with delicate workmanship that seems to be made by nature. It is only a little bigger than the palm of your hand, but it is exquisite.

It is said that gold has flaws and white jade has imperfections.

However, the only unusual color on this mask is the crimson dot between the eyebrows, which seems to have been deliberately added, making it even more colorful.

Seemingly remembering that there was a museum curator beside him, Wei Jingyang asked:

"I'll have someone put the mask up now. I hope Director Zheng won't mind?"

Director Zheng glanced at Wei Jingyang. Although he wasn't interested in this flamboyant rich kid, he didn't show it and remained outwardly very polite.

"The United Government stipulates that the Pursuit Bureau has the highest law enforcement authority when dealing with selected fugitives from each district. Since Captain Wei has taken over this place, I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

After saying that, Director Zheng didn't linger. He smiled and greeted Amya before leaving the scene with his entourage.

Wei Jingyang didn't care about this at all, and didn't even glance at it. He just directed everyone to place the white jade mask on the top of the bell tower.

At the top of the clock tower is a special base for holding white jade masks. Once the mask is inserted and a glass cover is placed on top, it can be viewed from various locations in the central square.

Wei Jingyang spoke again: "What do you think, Miss Amy? This is the most prized possession of our H City museum."

Amy nodded: "It looks very beautiful, but I don't know about the security. I hope it doesn't fall into the hands of a thief."

As she spoke, Amya smiled, adding a touch of charm to her already exquisite face.

When it comes to security, Wei Jingyang becomes even more confident.

He may be arrogant, but he's not stupid. Without adequate security measures, he wouldn't have been so confident in choosing to keep the program running as usual.

"Miss Amya, you're overthinking it. This time, I not only added a state-of-the-art alarm system to the glass case housing the white jade mask, but I also brought four helicopters from headquarters!"

As he spoke, Wei Jingyang sent a signal through the walkie-talkie.

The next second, a whooshing sound came from four directions at the same time, followed by four helicopters with the word "Pursuit" painted on them taking off.

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

"Goodness, this is the first time I've seen an airplane used to catch thieves. If this fails again, will we have to switch to missiles?"

"Isn't this a bit too shameless? This pursuit team's equipment is a bit excessive, isn't it?"

"I agree, how can you do that! Isn't that bullying honest people?"

The noise from the crowd did not affect Wei Jingyang; he continued his presentation with great enthusiasm:

“Each helicopter is equipped with a capture net that can be launched from a distance. If Chen Feng doesn’t dare to come, fine. But if he does dare to come, I’ll make sure he stays here permanently!”

Amya hadn't expected that Chen Feng, who had only acted twice, would attract such attention from the pursuit team, who even sent a helicopter.

However, she only paused for a second before quickly regaining her composure and parting her lips slightly to say:

"It's good that Captain Wei is confident, but it's best to be extra careful. After all, besides magic tricks, that thief is also particularly good at disguise."

"Who knows, he might be watching us right now..."

As she spoke, Amya curled her red lips and scanned the crowd with great interest.

If Chen Feng hadn't had absolute confidence in his disguise skills, he probably would have left the moment Amy arrived.

As Chen Feng had predicted, Amya looked around but didn't find anything. After saying a few more words, she left the scene with her assistant, Mir.

"You slut!" Sun Yuqing cursed through gritted teeth as she watched Amya's departing figure.

"Did she offend you?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat curiously.

Sun Yuqing's eyes remained fixed on Amya's back, her voice tinged with anger, yet also with jealousy.

"She's offended every girl in our Kid fan club! Look at her! What's she doing here? She's just trying to seduce Lord Kid."

Chen Feng chuckled, momentarily at a loss for words.

He never imagined that the kind of brainwashing incidents fans use to attack celebrities' romantic partners would actually happen to him.

Although he didn't care about these things...

……

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The internet is in an uproar over the notice.

Of course, the main point of contention is the content of the notice.

The phrase in the first two sentences of the announcement, "[The grand festival is coming, with the waving of the scepter of Chronos]", is relatively easy to understand.

Many detectives and online celebrities have also provided standard explanations:

The grand festival is undoubtedly the upcoming Mask Festival, and the "Chronos" mentioned in the second sentence refers to the legendary god of time.

Each movement of his scepter signifies a change of date and the time of Chen Feng's action, which is midnight.
