Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Director Luo exchanged a few polite words with Sun Luo, then called over Assistant He and whispered some instructions in his ear before Assistant He nodded and left the scene.

The members of the pursuit team couldn't help but take another look at Assistant He, after all, just yesterday, the phantom thief Rattlesnake had disguised himself as him to sneak in.

Although the incident is over, seeing that face again still gives everyone a sense of unease.

Sun Luo didn't say anything, and continued to chat with Director Luo about the museum's layout and follow-up arrangements.

However, at this moment, he did not know that the "don't let any misunderstandings" that Director Luo had just mentioned seemed to have a slightly different understanding of the "misunderstanding" he was referring to.

Soon, led by Assistant He, a beautiful figure appeared before everyone.

The newcomer was dressed in a smart, fitted white shirt. She was tall and well-proportioned, giving the impression of someone who exercises regularly. She wore thick-soled, tall Martin boots, and her long blonde hair was tied back. Thick black sunglasses covered her face, obscuring her features. She walked with a confident stride, exuding a dashing and heroic air.

"Wendy!"

Fu Lingling's eyes narrowed, and she immediately recognized the person who had come.

The person who came was none other than Wendy, the famous European detective who had once impersonated Chen Feng and had worked with Su Luoxue several times without ever failing!

The others reacted quickly, becoming alert as well. Some were even eager to try, as if they would rush forward and arrest the famous European detective and international thief on the spot as soon as the captains gave the order!

After all... Wendy's bounty isn't low either!

In the crowd, Chen Feng's gaze also fell on Wendy. He hadn't had many interactions with Wendy, but those few encounters had left a deep impression on him about this intelligent woman.

In a sense, the two of them can be considered old friends.

Chen Feng was surprised that Director Luo was able to find Wendy and invite her over.

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming awkward, Director Luo coughed twice and stepped forward to explain:

"Captain Sun, and everyone in the pursuit team, Miss Wendy officially announced her withdrawal from the 'Thief Game' a few days ago. She is now working as a detective, and I invited her here to help. Please don't misunderstand."

"quit?"

"This thing can be abandoned halfway through?"

"Aren't you going to talk nonsense? How can we not quit? Do you want them to be hunted down for the rest of their lives?"

"Exactly, just quit when you're tired, as long as you don't have any [harvests] that haven't expired before the pursuit period."

"I never knew it could be like this... I was so naive..."

The surrounding chatter didn't affect Sun Luo much; his gaze remained fixed on Wendy.

Not only him, but also Lin Chuanxiong, Fu Lingling and all the other captains and deputy captains all focused their attention on Wendy.

As the discussions gradually subsided, the members of the pursuit team suddenly realized something:

The part of Chen Feng's announcement that he would "shed his night-walking disguise and quietly arrive as an old acquaintance of the mansion" probably doesn't mean he'd disguise himself as a member of the pursuit team...

Thinking of this, the other members of the pursuit team also began to look at Wendy with hostility.

Seemingly noticing the unfriendly looks from the crowd, Wendy chuckled and stepped forward without any hesitation, coming to the pursuit team member holding the testing machine.

"If you don't mind, can I borrow this for a moment?"

Wendy's voice was loud enough that everyone present could hear it clearly.

The team member holding the machine turned his gaze to Sun Luo, who was not far away. After seeing him nod, he slowly placed the machine on the empty glass cabinet next to him. As the power button was pressed, the green light in the fingerprint detection area lit up again.

……

Chapter 474 Head-to-Head

[Fingerprint detection in progress... 1%... 10%... 99%...]

[Test passed, Level 8 pursuit expert lady!]

As the words "Level 8 Pursuit Expert" appeared on the machine screen, everyone's vigilance eased considerably.

The reason is simple: the information on the pursuit platform is protected by both online and text records, making it virtually impossible to tamper with!

“It’s a pleasure to work with you, Miss Wendy.”

Sun Luo stepped forward and greeted Wendy.

Seeing Sun Luo extend his hand, Wendy also reached out and gently shook his hand, but her attention was clearly not on Sun Luo at this moment.

"Captain Sun, I remember the pursuit team has a new captain who is also an eighth-level pursuit expert, right?"

“Yes.” Even though Sun Luo was still wary of Wendy in front of him, he did not deny it. This was something almost everyone knew, and there was no point in denying it.

"Who is it?"

Wendy took off her sunglasses, her wine-red eyes sweeping across the faces of the pursuit team members. Her smile was extremely calm, yet it gave off a very compelling feeling.

Lin Chuanxiong, standing in the crowd, frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but Chen Feng was a step faster, and even Fu Lingling, who was also frowning, didn't have time to stop him.

“That’s me.” Chen Feng stepped forward, stood in front of Wendy, and looked at her with a smile.

"This is our new fifth captain," Sun Luo introduced.

"Oh? The Fifth Captain..."

Wendy extended her hand with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Fifth Captain."

“I’m also very happy to meet Miss Wendy.”

Chen Feng also reached out and shook hands with Wendy, but when he tried to pull his hand back after shaking hands, he failed and was instead tightly held by Wendy in front of him.

Chen Feng raised his eyes to look at Wendy, who, unfazed, still wore her usual smiling expression.

"When did the Fifth Captain become an Eighth-Level Pursuit Expert? If I remember correctly, among the previously announced list of Eighth-Level Pursuit Experts, there were only seven Chinese nationals, and the Fifth Captain's name doesn't seem to be among them."

Chen Feng looked at Wendy in front of him, and Wendy was also looking at him, waiting for his answer.

Just then, Fu Lingling's voice rang out, answering for Chen Feng:

"The fifth captain is a Level 8 pursuit expert who just passed the exam after returning to China this month. Of course, his name cannot appear on the list announced last month!"

Fu Lingling spoke calmly as she walked to Chen Feng's side. When she noticed Chen Feng's right hand, which was being tightly gripped by Wendy, her expression towards Wendy became even more hostile.

What an rude guy!

Fu Lingling cursed inwardly.

"Really? What a coincidence!"

Wendy ignored Fu Lingling's unfriendly gaze and still showed no intention of letting go:

"I also just passed the Level 8 Pursuit Expert exam this month. I wonder where the Fifth Captain took the exam? Maybe we were in the same place back then."

Faced with Wendy's questioning, Chen Feng remained calm: "Really? I took the exam in District 2 of Beijing. Where is Miss Wendy?"

"What a coincidence! I was there too!"

Wendy's smile widened, but then a look of confusion crossed her face the next second:

"But I seem to remember that there were only four people who took the exam, including me, and... I don't think there was a fifth team leader among them..."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere immediately became tense. The previously listless crowd instantly perked up, and all eyes turned to Chen Feng and Wendy.

Wendy's gaze never left Chen Feng, as if she wanted to see even the slightest hint of nervousness in him, but unfortunately, she was disappointed.

"Miss Wendy must be mistaken. There were at least ten people in Examination Room 2 in the capital! I didn't see Miss Wendy either!"

Both sides pointed the finger at each other! Not a single person showed fear or lack of confidence!

The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither speaking, creating an awkward atmosphere.

About a minute later, just when everyone was wondering how to break the awkward atmosphere, Wendy took the initiative to let go of Chen Feng's hand.

"I must have remembered wrong, I took the exam in Shanghai."

I remembered it wrong...

Almost no one would believe this absurd reason. Even if someone has a bad memory, how could they possibly confuse Beijing and Shanghai, which are thousands of miles apart?

However, no one raised this question, which eased the tense atmosphere at the scene somewhat.

Just as everyone was looking away, Chen Feng suddenly asked out of the blue, "Does Miss Wendy really like coffee?"

"Hmm?" Wendy's gaze, which had just shifted away, returned to Chen Feng. "He's fine. What's up? Fifth Captain, would you like to buy me coffee?"

"I'm just sensitive to smells. Miss Wendy has a distinctive aroma of coffee beans on her, which should be from Santos Coffee beans from South America, known for their rich and mild flavor."

"Although Miss Wendy's scent isn't particularly strong, it's the kind of scent that only someone who frequents cafes can pick up, or perhaps... Miss Wendy likes to buy beans and grind them herself."

Chen Feng smiled as he looked at Wendy.

Wendy stared at Chen Feng with her wine-red eyes, saying nothing, until a few seconds later, when she finally smiled again:

"If I have time next time, I'll take the Fifth Captain to a coffee shop with really authentic local cuisine. I think the Fifth Captain will like it."

"Well then, if you have time, I'll trouble you, Miss Wendy," Chen Feng nodded politely in response.

Wendy ignored the pursuit team, simply greeted Director Luo, and then left the scene, heading outside.

"What an impolite woman..." Fu Lingling muttered, frowning as she watched Wendy's retreating figure.

Chen Feng glanced at her with a light laugh, but didn't say anything.

"Everyone," Director Luo stepped forward again.

"Miss Wendy is only here to say hello. She has some things to prepare and won't be coming here for a while, so we'll have to leave everything to Captain Sun."

"Director Luo, you're too kind. It's just my duty," Sun Luo nodded in agreement.

Director Luo didn't say anything more, but instructed his assistant He to take good care of the pursuit team and to notify him immediately if they needed anything.

After giving these instructions, Director Luo picked up his briefcase and left the scene, leaving only Assistant He and a dozen security personnel on site.

Everyone was busy with their own tasks.

Fu Lingling also approached Chen Feng at this moment and said, "Why do I feel like Wendy is targeting you? Did you offend her?"

……

Chapter 475 Seeing Su Luoxue Again

"Targeted? No, I don't think so." Chen Feng didn't even look up, just smiled slightly.

"Detectives are a group of people who like to get to the bottom of things and will investigate any anomaly they find. Hmm... sometimes they are also a little bit blindly confident."
