Chapter 605: Thief King Ye Tianrong
"Ye Qiu, you are the most handsome man I've ever seen." Lin Chuxue hugged Ye Qiu from behind, continuing to act coy.
Ye Qiu calmly drank his tea, not paying any attention.
"Ye Qiu, you're not only the most handsome man but also the smartest man in the world; you're simply my idol, the god in my heart."
"Every part of you radiates irresistible charm."
"You, you, you, why don't you say something?"
Lin Chuxue hugged Ye Qiu even tighter, acting coy over and over again, but faced with Ye Qiu's cold indifference, she suddenly stood up angrily, grumbling, "Ye Qiu, how can you do this, sleeping with me and then pretending not to know me?"
As soon as the words fell, the other people eating in the restaurant all turned their gaze toward them.
In an instant, Lin Chuxue froze.
She hadn't expected to say something so bold.
Lin Chuxue's pretty face flushed, nervously checking around to confirm no colleagues were present, feeling slightly relieved.
As the renowned police beauty, she must maintain her image...
Ye Qiu also seemed a bit embarrassed.
This girl, how did she become so blunt with her words?
In just a few moments, he became the focus of attention.
However, in the face of all the disdainful, yet envious, jealous, and hateful stares, Ye Qiu wasn't very concerned, leisurely eating his meal.
This made Lin Chuxue even more embarrassed.
His demeanor implied he was admitting to sleeping with her?
Nothing actually happened between them!
Yet the current situation, the surrounding gazes, clearly assumed she had slept with him...
The more Lin Chuxue thought about it, the more depressed she became; she momentarily didn't know what to do.
"Come on, tell me what's going on, why do you need my help?" Ye Qiu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Lin Chuxue remembered her request, looked at the unusual gazes around, resignedly murmured, "I wonder if you've heard of the Thief King Ye Tianrong."
"Heard about him a couple of times, I guess." Ye Qiu replied indifferently.
Lin Chuxue nodded slightly and said, "Recently, we got news from the police that Ye Tianrong's theft team is wandering in Jiangnan, and three days from now is the famous jewelry exhibition of Hengjiu Group, when the renowned Heart of the Ocean will be displayed.
So we suspect the Thief King came to Jiangnan this time to get the Heart of the Ocean. But this group is not easy to deal with; police around the country have been watching them for years without catching them.
Of course, if you step in, it'll be much simpler. I hope you can help us three days from now."
After speaking, Lin Chuxue cast another pitiful look at Ye Qiu.
It was evident she desperately wanted to capture that Thief King.
"Don't worry, I'll be there." Ye Qiu readily agreed, thinking he should give something back after taking so much advantage earlier.
Meanwhile, at Bai Lan's company, in the president's office.
Chairman Zhong Heng of Hengjiu Group arrived here, chatting with Bai Lan.
After chatting casually for a while, Zhong Heng suddenly laughed and said, "President Bai, have you heard of the Heart of the Ocean?"
"Of course." Bai Lan laughed and said, "That's your treasure; you've always been reluctant to bring it out. I've only heard it's very beautiful."
"Hahaha!" Zhong Heng laughed heartily, "I, Zhong, am not that stingy. At the jewelry exhibition three days from now, I'll bring the Heart of the Ocean out for everyone to see. By then, President Bai, you must honor us with your presence."
Saying this, he took out an invitation card, handing it to Bai Lan with both hands.
"Thank you very much, I will definitely go to see it in person." Bai Lan smiled as she received the invitation card.
"Since that's settled, I have some things to handle today, so I'll head back first. We'll talk in three days."
Zhong Heng got up, intending to leave with his bodyguards.
"I'll see you off." Bai Lan also stood up to follow.
Zhong Heng didn't refuse. Both he and Bai Lan were people of status, naturally knowing Bai Lan wasn't just acting politely. Refusing would be disrespectful.
Soon, Bai Lan escorted Zhong Heng and his people downstairs.
Just as they stepped out of the office building door, they saw Wu Hen and Feng Wei exercising.
Their moves were simple but full of momentum, energy, and spirit, instantly catching Zhong Heng's eye.
"Not bad, these two young men are really good, both full of potential." Zhong Heng sighed repeatedly, then looked at Bai Lan awkwardly and said, "President Bai, you have a lot of experts under your command, how about letting me have these two guys?"
"If they're willing, then of course." Bai Lan smiled, not believing Wu Hen and Feng Wei would be taken away.
"Haha!" Zhong Heng laughed contentedly, approached Wu Hen and Feng Wei, and handed them his business card, "Hello, I am the chairman of Hengjiu Group. Watching you two exercising just now, you looked impressive. I think you two are quite good.
I wonder if you two are interested in working for me? I'll give you favorable compensation, as well as perfect facilities and training guidance."
"This is my top bodyguard Wei Sheng." Zhong Heng pointed to the bodyguard behind him, continuing, "He is an elite of the country, trained by a famous master. If he can guide you, you will definitely improve faster."
"Chairman Zhong, thank you for your appreciation."
Faced with Zhong Heng's effortful recruitment, Wu Hen exchanged a glance with Feng Wei, then apologized, "Sorry, we can't go with you, because we came here to become apprentices."
Zhong Heng paused, a bit speechless.
He really hadn't expected that despite revealing his identity and trying hard to recruit them, these two young men actually refused!
And they're saying they've come here to become apprentices!
Who are they looking to apprentice with?
Someone who can make them give up such generous rewards and a nearly perfect future?
Bai Lan quietly watched, having long expected this outcome.
Wanting to recruit Ye Qiu's people, how is that possible?
Zhong Heng was still thinking when suddenly, Wei Sheng stepped forward, glancing indifferently at Wu Hen and Feng Wei, and said, "Do you two dare to exchange moves with me?"
"If it's a practice match, of course." Wu Hen smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Sheng's expression changed, his gaze sharpened, and immediately threw a punch at Wu Hen.
Wu Hen was startled, wanting to block, but Wei Sheng's speed was too fast. Almost instantly, his left hand grabbed Wu Hen's neck while his right hand pressed against Feng Wei's vital spot.
"If this were a real fight, you two would already be dead." Wei Sheng slightly looked up, appearing somewhat proud, "Of course, Chairman Zhong is right; you two are indeed talented. By receiving my guidance, you will surely progress rapidly.
But this is all conditional upon you becoming Chairman Zhong's people. If I were you, I wouldn't miss this opportunity."
Zhong Heng was also smiling as he looked over.
"What do you think, my bodyguard here is much better than the person you're seeking as a master, isn't he?"
