Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

A dull thud reached their ears, causing the other person's words of agreement to catch in their throat. They stood frozen in place, even their breathing slowed down considerably.

"What's wrong, Lao Zhao?"

Shh—don't make a sound!

Old Zhao made a shushing gesture, pressed half his face against the elevator wall, seemingly listening to something, but the gradually furrowing brows puzzled those around him.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the elevator had already reached the first floor. The elevator doors opened, and a cool breeze rushed in. Only then did the man finally ask:

"Hey Lao Zhao, what are you doing? What's wrong?"

Old Zhao was already frowning, but he no longer pressed his face against the elevator wall.

"Old Luo, did you hear any strange noises just now?"

"A sound?" The man called "Old Luo" was taken aback, and like Old Zhao, he pressed his face against the elevator wall and listened for a while: "Nothing. What sound could there be in the middle of the night?"

A sudden gust of cold wind swept in, making Lao Luo shiver. Looking at Lao Zhao beside him, still groping around, he couldn't help but tug at his clothes and urge him on:

"Let's go, it's the middle of the night, let's go back to sleep. You don't want to have some kind of elevator nightmare, do you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Old Zhao interrupted Old Luo with dissatisfaction, placed one hand on the elevator door open button to prevent the elevator door from closing, held his breath and listened quietly for a while, but still did not hear any sound.

Although it was the middle of the night and there were hardly any people in the building, it was still a big deal to keep blocking the elevator door like this. With Lao Luo urging him on, Lao Zhao had no choice but to suppress his doubts and follow Lao Luo out of the elevator.

But before leaving, he didn't forget to look back one last time. After confirming that everything was alright, he reached out and scratched his head, muttering:

"Did I hear wrong?"

"You must have misheard. Let's go." Old Luo urged impatiently.

"Alright then." Old Zhao stopped dwelling on the issue and followed Old Luo out of the building.

However, no one noticed that as the elevator doors closed again, several gaps slowly appeared in the middle of the previously seamless elevator top.

Immediately following, a rustling sound continued, and the gap rapidly widened, turning into a triangular "skylight" that was lifted from above, revealing a figure above the elevator.

The figure compared the size of the "window" to make sure it was large enough for them to pass through, then smiled with satisfaction and carefully restored the "window" that had been opened.

"Phantom Thief Kid..." The figure smirked disdainfully and muttered to himself.

"How can a fool who likes to create and follow rules compare to a cunning thief? As for those so-called hunting experts... ha..."

The figure spoke softly, but moved quickly, meticulously recreating every detail at the top of the elevator. Then, it took out the climbing gear it had prepared beforehand, put it on, and climbed up the elevator's steel cable.

Of course, he probably didn't notice that in the dark area at the top of the elevator, a pair of little eyes were staring at him with great curiosity.

at the same time.

In the living room on the second floor of the Shangguan family home, Chen Feng sat on the sofa, looking at the computer screen with a half-smile. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, creating a simple, highly rhythmic melody.

Next to the sofa, Shangguan Meng sat cross-legged, facing the television, but her mind was no longer on the show.

Her gaze would occasionally drift towards the computer screen in front of Chen Feng, but due to the angle, she couldn't see the content on it.

After about five minutes, Shangguan Meng finally couldn't resist anymore. She shifted her position slightly to the side and moved closer to Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng only glanced at her before moving his own computer in the same direction, at a distance that was just right so that Shangguan Meng couldn't see the content on it.

"Hey! Are you doing this on purpose?"

Shangguan Meng stood up from the sofa, put her hands on her hips, and looked down at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng raised his eyes, a friendly smile on his face, and asked with feigned incomprehension, "What do you mean, intentional?"

"you--"

Enraged, Shangguan Meng quickly crouched down and pounced forward like a hunting feline, trying to see what was on Chen Feng's notebook.

Chen Feng did not stop her actions, nor did he continue to move the computer; he simply continued to watch her with a smile.

Just as Shangguan Meng was getting closer, the door clicked open and someone pushed it open, and Shangguan Xi, carrying a plate, came out of the kitchen.

Shangguan Meng was briefly drawn to the notebook for half a second, but when she remembered what she was supposed to do, she heard a dull "bang" as Chen Feng closed the notebook.

thump—

Shangguan Meng landed face down and buttocks up on the sofa with a thud.

"Oh dear, it's lunchtime. I'm actually a little hungry."

Chen Feng stood up nonchalantly, walked to the dining table, and gently kissed Shangguan Xi on the cheek.

Shangguan Xi did not refuse, but her face flushed slightly as she said, "There are still dishes in the kitchen, I'll go and get them first."

"I'll help you."

"Ah."

Shangguan Xi and Chen Feng walked towards the kitchen together, but when they passed the sofa, Shangguan Xi couldn't help but stop. Looking at Shangguan Meng, who was lying on the sofa without making a sound, she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What is Xiaomeng doing?"

"It's alright, he's just a kid, he's playful. He'll just lie down for a while when he gets tired of playing," Chen Feng said with a smile.

Shangguan Xi didn't suspect anything, just nodded and stopped paying attention, then followed Chen Feng into the kitchen.

Not long after.

A sumptuous table of home-style dishes was then served.

Three bowls of white rice were placed in three different directions. Shangguan Meng, who was sitting by the window, poked the white rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, while also glaring at Chen Feng, who was sitting opposite her.

Chen Feng seemed not to have seen anything, his face still bearing a gentle smile as he served food to Shangguan Xi.

"Xiaomeng, why aren't you eating?"

Shangguan Xi picked up a piece of pork rib that Chen Feng had placed in her bowl, and just as she put it in her mouth, she noticed Shangguan Meng's strange expression.

……

Chapter 479 The Operation to Begin

"I'm so angry with someone, I've lost my appetite!"

Shangguan Meng glared angrily at Chen Feng, but Chen Feng completely ignored her, making Shangguan Meng feel like she had punched cotton, and her anger flared even more.

Shangguan Xi glanced suspiciously back and forth between Chen Feng and Shangguan Meng, then asked with some curiosity:

"what happens?"

Upon hearing Shangguan Xi ask about this, Shangguan Meng immediately retorted:

"Second sister! Eldest sister isn't here for this operation. You're going with this guy, leaving me all alone at home? This is too much! He even blocks my view of the videos he's watching on his computer!"

"Video? What video?" Shangguan Xi looked at Chen Feng with some confusion.

Chen Feng smiled slightly, casually picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his bowl, saying nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just a live broadcast of a great circus clown's performance."

"A circus clown? A live broadcast of the show's preparations?"

Shangguan Xi understood what Chen Feng meant by the circus clown after he repeated it once. It was nothing more than another phantom thief besides them—the phantom thief Rattlesnake!

"Alright, Xiaomeng, it was my eldest sister who instructed me not to tell you the details of the operation, and I relayed the message. It has nothing to do with him."

Shangguan Xi began to speak in a calm tone.

"Huh?" Shangguan Meng was struck dumb, staring at Shangguan Xi with a face full of shock.

Chen Feng then gave her an innocent look, indicating that it wasn't his fault.

"why?"

"You still have the nerve to ask why?" Shangguan Xi put down her chopsticks, looking at Shangguan Meng with a half-smile, and said:

"After I told you the situation, how many times have you disobeyed orders? Not to mention yesterday, my older sister said that we shouldn't go to the museum before Chen Feng arrives, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. And what happened? Did you listen to her?"

"Well... it didn't cause any trouble, did it?"

Shangguan Meng's tone softened, she shrank her neck, and spoke weakly.

Shangguan Xi rolled her eyes and didn't say anything more, but simply put a piece of pork rib into Shangguan Meng's bowl:

"So to prevent you from acting on your own again, my older sister specifically sent us a message instructing us to keep an eye on you and not let you wander off."

"what?"

Shangguan Meng deflated like a punctured balloon, looking at Chen Feng with a pleading expression, as if hoping he would say a word for her.

However, Chen Feng only responded with his signature smile.

Just when Shangguan Meng thought she could only stay miserably at home, Chen Feng spoke up again:

"However, there is something I do need Xiaomeng to do, but I don't know if Xiaomeng is willing."

"Yes, yes, anything is fine!"

Shangguan Meng's eyes lit up again, and she nodded repeatedly.

Upon receiving this answer, Chen Feng and Shangguan Xi exchanged a glance and revealed a triumphant smile.

……

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Today is the day of a large-scale cultural relics exhibition held in H City's museum, but it is also the time for the operation announced in Chen Feng's letter.

From the morning onwards, the roads around the museum were filled with Kidd fans from all over the world, who were still very enthusiastic even though it wasn't time for the action.

The cartoon version of Kid's image was erected by tourists all around, and the large crowd completely blocked the street. Even the H city government sent a large number of personnel to the scene to maintain order.

In front of the museum.

A beautiful figure appeared in front of the camera:

"Hello everyone, I'm your host Xixi. Behind me is the largest museum in H City, and it's also one of the largest museums in the entire eastern part of the city in terms of area and scale."

"Of course, it also has another identity today, which is... the location of the operation in Kid's notice is also where the Phantom Thief Rattlesnake will take action. Who do you think will win in the end? Or will the pursuit team successfully stop the two Phantom Thieves' actions? Let's wait and see!"

As Xixi's sweet voice faded, the live stream chat was filled with scrolling comments.

"This host is talking nonsense! Is there even a need to guess? When has Feng Shen ever lost? Who will be the final winner? It's so hard to predict—"

"KID!!! Finally, KID is taking action again! I'm ready to record the screen and capture my husband's charm!"
