Shangguan Lin let out a long breath, calming herself down a bit, and then slowly spoke.
"Let's all share our thoughts on this. Xiaomeng, you go first."
Shangguan Meng said, "I think this is a cowardly person who stole the museum's collection under our name and then tried to shift the blame onto us. It's utterly shameless!"
Shangguan Meng's face turned red with anger, and she even coughed violently because she was too excited as she spoke.
"Cough cough...cough..." After coughing, Shangguan Meng continued:
"Of course, I don't rule out the possibility that it was Kidd who did it! After all, very few people besides him would have the ability to steal things from a heavily guarded museum."
Ever since Chen Feng stole the [Desert Star] necklace that they had their eyes on, Shangguan Meng has had a bad impression of the thief.
However, since Chen Feng also saved her second sister, Shangguan Meng can only say that she has a neutral impression of Chen Feng.
Hearing Shangguan Meng's words, Shangguan Lin nodded and then turned her gaze to Shangguan Xi, who had remained silent.
"Xiao Xi, what do you think?"
"Xiao Xi?"
"Xiao Xi!??"
"what?"
It wasn't until Shangguan Lin raised her voice and shouted twice more that Shangguan Xi, who was lost in thought, was brought back to reality.
After giving Shangguan Xi a few scrutinizing glances, Shangguan Lin spoke again:
"Xiao Xi, you seem a little distracted?"
"Huh? Is there...is there?"
Shangguan Xi forced a smile and gave an awkward laugh.
Even Shangguan Meng, who was standing to the side, noticed and asked, "Second Sister, you're not thinking about that thief named Kidd, are you?"
"How...how could this be!"
Upon hearing the name "Kidd," Shangguan Xi jumped up excitedly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Her poor acting skills could not hide her guilty conscience; on the contrary, they made Shangguan Meng and the other man even more suspicious.
Fortunately, Shangguan Lin did not dwell on the matter further.
This brought the question back to the forefront: "Xiao Xi, what do you think about this? Do you also think it was Kidd who did it?"
"Of course not!" Shangguan Xi said firmly.
Shangguan Meng said, "Second sister, how can you be so sure? You don't know him at all. Maybe he'll just go to the museum to steal something after he put you down?"
"I……"
Shangguan Xi was speechless for a moment.
As Shangguan Meng said, she didn't even know Chen Feng, so how could she understand him?
dong dong dong-
Just then, a knocking sound came from the window on the second floor of the dessert shop, which was covered by curtains.
The sound wasn't loud, but it still reached the ears of the three Shangguan sisters very clearly.
The three of them stood up instantly, looking warily toward the window, and asked cautiously, "Who's outside?"
The knocking on the window stopped at that moment.
A few seconds later, a gentle voice came from outside the window.
"An uninvited thief..."
"The Phantom Thief... Kid!"
Shangguan Lin frowned immediately, and the wariness in her eyes did not fade, but instead became even more serious.
One should always be wary of others.
Although Chen Feng had not shown any hostility towards them before, and even rescued Shangguan Xi from the crisis.
However, this does not rule out the possibility that Chen Feng wants to capture all three of them and then send them to the program team in exchange for capture money, after all... many contestants have done that.
At Shangguan Lin's prompting, Shangguan Xi slowly walked to the window, reached out, and pulled back the curtains.
With the curtains no longer obstructing their view, the white figure wearing a monocle was fully revealed to the three of them.
Chen Feng placed his hands in front of him, bowed slightly to the group in a gentlemanly manner, and slowly began to speak:
"Please forgive my uninvited arrival, ladies... Miss Phantom Thief..."
……
Chapter 104 Help and Invitation
Upon seeing the newcomer, Shangguan Xi's face revealed a barely perceptible hint of joy, which she quickly concealed.
He took two steps back and stood next to Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Meng.
"Phantom Thief Kid? What are you doing here?"
Shangguan Lin scrutinized Chen Feng outside with a wary expression, as if she would immediately teach him a lesson with her martial arts if he made any unusual move.
Of course, that's assuming she can beat Chen Feng...
"Oh dear, these ladies seem to have quite a bit of hostility towards me."
Chen Feng raised his hands with a slight smile, seemingly unconcerned about the guarded posture of the others.
Not to mention that he had no intention of causing trouble or making a move, even if a fight did break out, Chen Feng, with his superb fighting skills, would not be afraid of the three Shangguan sisters in front of him.
"Don't be nervous, ladies. I'm here today with no ill intentions. I just heard you've run into a little trouble and came to see if there's anything I can help you with."
Chen Feng maintained his usual mild, poker face, making it impossible to discern his true emotions.
He is different from Kaito Kuroba.
Kaito Kuroba became a phantom thief because of his father's disappearance, but Chen Feng was different; he did it purely for the enjoyment of the job.
As Miss Li Qingyan, who was far away in Western Europe, described him: a person who does things casually and is never settled.
"You're here... to help us?"
Shangguan Meng was slightly surprised and looked at her two older sisters beside her, only to see that they had the same reaction.
Chen Feng did not deny it, but smiled again and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"
The three Shangguan sisters exchanged glances, and then Shangguan Xi stepped forward and slowly reached out to open the balcony door in front of her.
Snapped!
Chen Feng snapped his fingers and conjured a purple rose, which he then presented to Shangguan Xi.
"We meet again, Miss Shangguan Xi."
Looking at the roses the person in front of her had given her, Shangguan Xi subconsciously glanced at Shangguan Lin and the other person behind her before raising her hand to accept the flowers and saying "thank you".
We entered the house.
Under the watchful eyes of the three, Chen Feng casually glanced around at the surroundings before walking to the sofa.
May I sit?
"Do as you please," Shangguan Lin said.
As soon as Chen Feng sat down, Shangguan Xi eagerly came up to him, her face full of anticipation as she looked at him.
"Um...you just said you'd help us? Is that true?"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Of course, I never lie to ladies."
"real!"
Shangguan Meng was immediately overjoyed.
Although they didn't really want to admit it, the man in front of them was indeed much more capable than them. If he was willing to help, things would naturally be much simpler.
"However..." Chen Feng suddenly changed the subject, causing the three women present to tense up again.
Seemingly noticing this, Chen Feng spoke again:
"Don't worry, ladies, I have no intention of changing my mind. I just wanted to ask if I could try your shop's signature cake before that, preferably made by Miss Shangguan Xi."
As he spoke, Chen Feng winked his left eye at Shangguan Xi.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Meng both looked towards Shangguan Xi behind them.
Shangguan Xi blushed slightly, said softly, "Wait a moment, I'll go do it," and left the room.
After Shangguan Xi left, Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Meng sat down on the sofa in the room.
Chen Feng didn't say anything more, and the two women didn't dare to speak first either, so the room fell silent for a moment.
Not long after.
Shangguan Xi returned with the freshly made cakes, opened the box, and placed it in front of Chen Feng.
"Enjoy your meal at your leisure," Shangguan Xi said gently.
Chen Feng picked up the cake in front of him, took a bite, and said, "It tastes pretty good."
Seeing Chen Feng leisurely savoring the cake bite by bite, Shangguan Meng finally couldn't hold back any longer: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Um……"
Chen Feng put down the cake in his hand and pretended to be deep in thought for a while.
Shangguan Xi and the other two stared intently at Chen Feng, waiting for his answer.
"No rush. If possible, I'd like to invite Miss Shangguan Xi to come with me to the event tomorrow night. Would you have time?"
Chen Feng looked at Shangguan Xi and slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lin frowned immediately. As the eldest sister, she instinctively didn't want her younger sister to take risks with someone like Chen Feng, whom she knew absolutely nothing about.
But as things stand, Chen Feng doesn't seem to have any malicious intent...
Shangguan Lin frowned slightly and looked in Shangguan Xi's direction, as if she wanted to hear what she had to say.
