Chapter 611 Pursuit of the Thief King
"What happened? What's going on?"
"There must be bandits trying to steal the jewels, everyone hurry up and escape!"
"Run quickly!"
The exhibition site was becoming increasingly chaotic, with screams ringing out one after another.
"Everyone calm down, the site is already under police control, please don't panic excessively."
Lin Chuxue rushed in with a large group of police officers.
After slightly calming the crowd's emotions, he immediately took people to find Zhong Heng.
"Heart of the Ocean, those people must be trying to get the Heart of the Ocean!"
Zhong Heng clung tightly to a safe box, speaking nervously.
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, two people rushed over from not far away, shouting and yelling, seemingly frightened, but dashed straight toward the safe box in his hand!
"Don't move!"
"Stand still!"
The two trying to steal the safe box hadn't reached Zhong Heng before being subdued by several police officers, pinned to the ground, and handcuffed.
"Chairman Zhong, don't worry, with us here, nothing will happen. Please go with us to a safe place first."
Lin Chuxue urged anxiously.
"The safe house is in that direction!" Zhong Heng pointed to the northeast.
"Hurry over!"
Lin Chuxue didn't waste words and immediately escorted Zhong Heng to the safe house with a group of police officers.
The security team led by Wei Sheng quickly followed.
"Looks like the Thief King's group didn't succeed."
Seeing the unharmed safe box, Lin Chuxue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"What did you say? Thief King?" Zhong Heng was terrified, cold sweat pouring, and without thinking, quickly opened the safe box.
Soon, everyone saw that the gemstones inside the safe box had long disappeared!
Only a note was left.
"Thief King was here for a visit!"
The handwriting was sloppy yet exuded a hint of arrogance and disdain, characteristic of the Thief King's usual method!
"Heart of the Ocean, it's gone..."
Zhong Heng stood there foolishly, his face full of disappointment and helplessness.
Confirming that the item was stolen by the Thief King, Zhong Heng was utterly despaired.
Because, treasures snatched by the Thief King have never returned to the owner.
Just then, Zhong Heng's phone rang.
Seeing it was from the security department, he immediately answered, putting it on speaker.
Soon, an anxious voice came through, "Chairman Zhong, before the power outage, we saw some suspicious people on the surveillance heading to the underground parking lot."
"Could be the Thief King!"
Lin Chuxue realized immediately, and with a group of police officers, rushed out.
Zhong Heng also followed closely with his bodyguards.
Meanwhile, in the underground parking lot!
The Thief King ran wildly with his crew, heading towards a small truck at the parking lot entrance.
Meanwhile, in his hand, he held a heart-shaped blue gemstone, shimmering and beautiful beyond compare, yet giving a sense of the ocean's grandeur and vastness.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Looking at the Heart of the Ocean in his hand, the Thief King laughed wildly, excitedly saying, "The legendary Heart of the Ocean, finally in my grasp, it truly is extraordinary, my effort has paid off!"
"Boss, get in the truck quick!" From inside the small truck, one of the Thief King's men shouted anxiously.
"What's the rush?" The Thief King smiled faintly, walking slowly at his leisure towards the small truck, confidently saying: "According to my plan, they should be seeing us arriving at this parking lot now.
But this is just the drama I set for them, because by the time they get here, we'll have just vanished."
"Whenever I, the Thief King, make a move, no one has ever been able to keep pace with me!"
The Thief King slightly raised his head, extremely proud.
However, just as he finished speaking his arrogant words, he suddenly froze there.
Because, at the parking lot entrance, a man had appeared without him knowing.
That man just stood there quietly, calmly watching the Thief King.
"Who are you?" The Thief King was greatly surprised, never expecting someone could keep up with his pace.
Before Ye Qiu could respond, one of the Thief King's men suddenly cried out in surprise, "Boss, he's the Ye Qiu we talked about earlier!"
"Run him over with the car!" The Thief King ordered coldly.
Almost simultaneously...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Qiu swung his right arm; two pebbles flew out quickly, instantly bursting two tires.
The car just started and immediately stalled!
"Over here!"
"The Thief King is really here!"
Then, Zhong Heng and his team of bodyguards were the first to arrive.
Everyone completely blocked the entrance to the underground parking lot.
However, facing the tight blockade, the Thief King had no trace of panic and ordered his men in front: "You guys, hold them off!"
After saying this, the Thief King instantly turned to escape in the opposite direction.
"Hurry and chase!" Wei Sheng reacted immediately, rushing with the bodyguards, trying to break through the blockade by the Thief King's men.
But, things weren't that simple.
The Thief King's crew was mostly quite skilled, even if unable to match Wei Sheng's team, they could hold up in a fight for several rounds, delaying enough time.
"Trouble! If this delay continues, the Thief King will genuinely getaway!"
Wei Sheng grew anxious, desperately trying to break through the blockade of the Thief King's men, but was helpless. Clearly, the Thief King's men had undergone very professional training, cooperating very seamlessly, their combat power not high, yet able to entangle people tightly.
"Finished, this time the Heart of the Ocean is really gone." Beside him, Zhong Heng sighed regretfully, he had long accepted that they couldn't catch up with the Thief King, let alone now being delayed by the Thief King's men.
While everyone was extremely anxious, Ye Qiu smiled calmly, then he moved!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, with a gust of wind, Ye Qiu, like a specter, swiftly shuttled through the crowd, leaving behind fading shadows.
Two seconds later!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Thief King's men flew out one by one, falling to the ground, losing their combat ability!
The sudden turn of events stunned Wei Sheng and the bodyguards momentarily, their hearts filled with shock.
No one could believe that the Thief King's men, whom thirty-odd bodyguards couldn't solve, were effortlessly dealt with by one person!
However, at this crucial moment, there was no time for everyone to continue being shocked, seeing the Thief King's nearly disappearing figure, they became anxious!
Whoosh!
But Ye Qiu responded swiftly, immediately pursuing in the direction the Thief King escaped.
No one followed him, neither Zhong Heng nor his bodyguards, everyone just shook their heads repeatedly.
"Can't catch him, the Thief King has run so far, there's no way to catch up."
"Sigh, this was all part of the Thief King's plan, at his speed, police haven't arrived at the second exit, and he's already escaped."
"The Thief King's proud speed cannot be cracked, even someone like Ye Qiu can't do it."
Everyone gave up, believing Ye Qiu pursuing the Thief King was just a futile effort.
