Chapter 106 Theft
Zeng Bufan curled his lips, feeling that Xu Zhiyi was as cold as a wooden man. He wanted to tease her and was about to invite her to have dinner together when he saw her eyes light up and she walked quickly towards another man who was dressed... in tatters.
"Cancan!" Xu Zhiyi was very surprised, "How did you find you?"
Jin Cancan: “…”
No, how did she recognize it?
She hasn’t taken off her Erhu costume yet!!!
She thought her outfit was perfect, but Xu Zhiyi saw through it?!
Jin Cancan quickly hooked Xu Zhiyi's neck, pressed her head down, and asked in a low voice: "How did you see that? Where did I reveal my flaws?"
Xu Zhiyi lowered his head obediently and replied in a low voice imitating her tone: "There is no flaw. Your disguise skills are very powerful. I can't tell why, but I thought it was you at the first sight."
Jin Cancan was shocked and fell into self-doubt for the first time.
Zeng Bufan was even more shocked. Xu Zhiyi, a beautiful woman as cold and elegant as the snow on the mountain, was actually arm in arm with this scoundrel man who looked like he had accomplished nothing? !
She remained calm when she was discussing business with the head of the Ning family, and she was able to remain calm when faced with the ridicule of many competitors, but what is the difference between her current look and that of a puppy seeing its master? ! Where is your unyielding spirit? !
Zeng Bufan could accept that Xu Zhiyi was a love-brained person, but he could not accept that the object of her love-brain was this kind of person!
Xu Zhiyi felt that Jin Cancan was quite shocked and regretted it. He quickly comforted her, "Actually, I didn't recognize you at first sight. I just guessed. Yes, I guessed! After all, no one else would come all the way to find me except you."
Zeng Bufan's back teeth were almost broken, but he still had a decent smile on his face: "Miss Xu, this is your friend? How about I treat you and have a simple meal together?"
Xu Zhiyi refused without thinking: "No need, we don't know you well."
She whispered to Jin Cancan and explained, "I've taken a fancy to this Mingyue Club. Zeng Bufan is our competitor, and his methods are very evil. It's better not to get involved with him."
Zeng Bufan, who had heard this, twitched his lips. No, he is still here! Did he say bad things to my face?
Unexpectedly, Jin Cancan was even more of a heavyweight and responded in a low voice: "Competitor? Then we have to eat for free. Let him treat us to a meal at the most expensive restaurant to weaken his capital."
Zeng Bufan: “…”
Jin Cancan smiled and said, "Brother Zeng, I'm so sorry. I have a big appetite and you are spending money."
Well, besides being ugly, he is also greedy.
Zeng Bufan changed his mind and thought, it’s a good thing that this person is of this kind. By comparing the two, wouldn’t Xu Zhiyi be able to tell who is better at a glance?
He smiled slightly: "It's okay, since you are Miss Xu's friend, you should treat her well."
The servant was furious and beeped loudly: "Sir, this poor boy has bad behavior. He just rudely treated me. Now that he sees you, he immediately changes his attitude. It's obvious that he is a gold digger!"
Jin Cancan rushed forward and held the boy's hands: "You actually said that I worship money! I cried. It turns out that there are people in this world who really understand me. Not only do I worship money, I also flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, I love fun, and I am sarcastic and mean."
The servant opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and kept saying "you" for a long time, but he couldn't give any clear answer.
Zeng Bufan gave the servant a light look, and the servant didn't dare to say anything else. He just led the way for them with his head down.
On the way, Xu Zhiyi told Jin Cancan what had happened recently.
The previous owner of Mingyue Club was the head of the Ning family. Their business empire needed to expand and relocate, so they planned to sell this property.
After several days of bidding, the highest bidders came from Xu Zhiyi and Zeng Bufan. Ning's family had some business dealings with Zeng Bufan's family, so Ning's family naturally preferred to sell it to Zeng Bufan.
Although Xu Zhiyi knew about this relationship, he was still not ready to give up.
She found out the real reason why the Ning family sold the Mingyue Club - the Ning family was in a long-term predicament of being robbed.
I don't know what grudge the thief had with the Ning family. He didn't steal anything from the entire Xingyue main city, but only from the Ning family.
The Ning family had invited experts to take charge, set up a tight net, asked experts to draw high-level anti-theft formations, and even invited the Yan family's guard team, but all was of no avail.
They were at a loss as to what to do and had to place more than a dozen photo stones around the treasure. However, not only could they not capture the thief's appearance, they couldn't even capture how the treasure was lost. It was as if it had evaporated into thin air.
The thief was also extremely arrogant and domineering. Before each theft, he would draw a doodle by hand, and then stuff the paper with the treasure he was going to steal under the pillow of the head of the Ning family. Within a week, the treasure would disappear without a trace.
Ning was so fed up with the situation that she couldn't catch the thief and was worried every day, so she simply put up a sign to sell the house.
The thief had not been quiet for two days, and he stuffed the blueprint of his theft target under the pillow of the head of the Ning family. When the head of the Ning family saw it, he almost vomited blood!
It was his most treasured blue quenched stone ring, and the most valuable item in his mother's dowry.
Most importantly, it was the only relic left by his mother and meant a lot to him.
After Xu Zhiyi learned about this, she volunteered to protect the ring and received a promise from the head of the Ning family that if she could protect the ring within a week, he would sell Mingyue Mansion to her.
Six days have passed now, and today is the last day the thief is going to take action.
Jin Cancan stuffed a large chicken drumstick into his mouth and nodded vaguely: "I see."
Xu Zhiyi had something on his mind and had no appetite. He sighed and said, "In fact, I am not sure. The thief who even the Yan family couldn't catch must be very capable. But I don't want to give up until the end."
Zeng Bufan drank tea elegantly: "Nowadays, I have never even seen the corner of a thief's clothes, so it is understandable that I can't prevent it."
"Unfortunately, my family is determined to obtain Mingyue Mansion and cannot give it up... If Miss Xu likes another house, I can help her. My Zeng family still has some reputation in Xingyue City."
Jin Cancan scraped the rice from the bottom of the bowl and comforted Xu Zhiyi: "I just asked you to protect the ring, not to catch the thief, right?"
Xu Zhiyi looked worried and nodded slightly: "Well, I don't think I can catch the thief, but I can still keep an eye on the ring. I won't be satisfied if I don't give it a try."
Jin Cancan wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "That's easy."
Zeng Bufan raised his eyebrows: "Easy to deal with? Didn't you hear what Miss Xu said? Those treasures disappeared out of thin air. No matter how hard we guard them, it's useless. You are so arrogant."
Jin Cancan was too lazy to argue with Zeng Bufan, so she said to Xu Zhiyi, "Take me to see the head of the Ning family. I have a way to keep his precious ring."
Xu Zhiyi knew that Jin Cancan never boasted, so he immediately stood up with sparkling eyes and led the way: "I knew you would find a way!"
