Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 115

"Hmm~"

Yue Jia blushed, her nostrils filled with Ling Yun's scent.

For women, Ling Yun is like a poison that they can't get rid of once they've tasted it. Yue Jia's mind is full of Ling Yun now. Even when she can't see him during the day, she will take out the photos on her phone and look at them repeatedly.

If it weren't for the worry that the young cook would get cold, Ling Yun would have liked to have sex with Yue Jia outside.

Unexpectedly, Yue Jia guessed his thoughts, her voice barely audible: "You shouldn't be cold while exercising, right?"

Since she had said that, Ling Yun decided to protect her with his true energy. It was just a matter of expending a little more energy!

So Yue Jia, who was supposed to come to them for dinner, was pinned against the wall by Ling Yun. Her petite body was like a doll, held in the man's arms and given whatever he wanted.

After the women finished showering in the gym's shower room, they came out and witnessed the little chef's expression as if she was about to fly away.

Bai Xin, with a mischievous smile, secretly took out her phone and snapped a picture.

Yue Jia noticed it too and quickly put on a pleading expression, but Bai Da, the school beauty, didn't care about that and added a few more photos to her local private album.

While eating, seeing that everyone had a glass of milk, Lingyun felt that he was indulging in beautiful women every day and was too decadent!

He decided to become even more depraved from now on!

After finishing her meal, Bai Xin played on her phone and soon came across videos related to the phantom thief Ye Chen.

"Honey, look! That thief named Ye Chen is going to make his move tomorrow!"

Chapter 187 Night Pearl

Weekdays should be the quietest time for museums.

But today is a bit unusual.

The area around the exhibition hall was packed with people, and this sudden "liveliness" put immense pressure on the task force that was keeping watch on Ye Chen.

Forcibly clearing the area, leaving only plainclothes officers, would be tantamount to pointing out one's position on an empty stage; even the worst actor wouldn't stumble upon such a conspicuous target. However, if the crowd were allowed to surge unchecked, and Ye Chen seized the opportunity to attack, the consequences of injuring any innocent person would be far beyond what they could bear.

As the crowd outside the exhibition hall grew larger and larger, the chaos put the task force responsible for keeping watch on Ye Chen in a dilemma.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the head of the task force issued an unexpected order.

"The museum will open according to the normal procedures. People with tickets will be allowed to enter. People on the perimeter will be dispersed because they are obstructing traffic."

This decision was bold, upholding the bottom line of law enforcement while also making our stance clear to Ye Chen in the shadows—we will not show weakness by clearing the area for you; everything at the exhibition hall will remain as usual!

Ye Chen actually looked at them with more respect after the task force's statement.

Unfortunately, their efforts were destined to be in vain.

Just as plainclothes officers and members of the task force disguised as staff were patrolling, Liang Man's expression changed upon hearing some news. She grabbed An Xin and rushed into the office of the person in charge of the exhibition hall.

The person in charge almost pressed the confirmation button, but when the two policewomen barged in, he hurriedly tried to move the mouse, but was stopped by Liang Man's stern rebuke.

"Wang Gou Dan, do you even know what you're doing?!"

Faced with the dark muzzle of the gun, Wang Gou Dan covered his head with his hands, not daring to move an inch.

Anxin rushed to the computer, and only after confirming that the transfer had not yet succeeded did her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settle down.

She then turned serious and pointed at the computer screen: "If you transfer the money out, you are compromising with criminals!"

"I don't think it's a compromise, but rather complicity, isn't it?" Liang Man's voice was icy. "Don't you think so, Ye Chen's accomplice?"

With just a few words, the two women frightened Wang Gou Dan so much that he knelt on the ground, crying and promising them that he was definitely not a bad person.

"...This was all ordered to be done by Brother Mahua. I was just doing the job. I didn't know anything about it, officer!"

Seeing his pathetic state, Liang Man knew he was unlikely to be an accomplice; she was more interested in scaring him to prevent him from doing anything rash.

Wang Gou Dan told them everything as if pouring out beans.

A few days ago, as public opinion intensified, Wang Mahua could no longer remain silent.

The theft of the luminous pearl was not just a loss of a large sum of money; more importantly, it was a disgrace to Golden Standard International!

He originally planned to cancel the exhibition, but the task force contacted him and told him that this was an excellent opportunity to capture Ye Chen, hoping that he could cooperate.

Wang Mahua verbally agreed to their request, but in reality, she was secretly trying to find a way to resolve the matter privately.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen contacted him on his own initiative. Wang Mahua grasped at this like a lifeline and immediately asked how much money he could spend to settle the matter privately.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen's offer was not high; he only asked for 300 million.

Wang Mahua could afford to pay that amount, so he immediately agreed.

He was afraid of being discovered by the police and dared not let the finance department transfer the money. He thought that since it's said that the darkest place is under the lamp, he would let his younger brother, Gou Dan, who was in the exhibition hall, transfer the money.

But someone leaked the news, and Liang Man and An Xin barged into Ye Chen's office just a second before Gou Dan was about to transfer money to Ye Chen's overseas account.

"Something seems off!" Liang Man suddenly realized something.

Anxin quickly figured out the key point.

"What a coincidence!"

Yes, the task force members never expected that Wang Gou Dan would make a deal with Ye Chen right under their noses, so they were completely unprepared for him.

Who could possibly know all this in advance, given how private the information is?

Liang Man crossed her arms and said, "Although Ye Chen deserves to die, Wang Mahua is no better!"

"Senior sister, let me hand over to them and see if they can contact the person who informed on us." An Xin took out her phone.

"it is good."

The policewoman immediately communicated with her team members, but the response she received was unexpected.

"It was the information revealed by the finance manager of Jinbiao International. Last night, Wang Mahua suddenly asked him what procedures were required for overseas transfers. The finance manager didn't think much of it at first and told him the process. This morning, he saw related videos and live streams and felt something was wrong, so he reported it to us."

Because the room was relatively quiet, Wang Gou Dan, who was standing nearby, also heard their conversation.

There's no reason for it.

As soon as he spoke, both women turned to look at him.

Wang Gou Dan chuckled awkwardly, "Well, I've transferred a few money to overseas accounts before, and I'm quite familiar with the process. Otherwise, Brother Ma Hua wouldn't have let me handle it. He has no reason to ask the finance manager these questions."

The two women exchanged a glance and then relayed Wang Gou Dan's words to the team leader.

The person on the other end also had doubts and quickly dialed back.

The other party's phone is already switched off.

Liang Man got the finance manager's number from Wang Gou Dan, but when she called, she found out it was a woman!

Then there is only one possibility.

The one who informed on us was Ye Chen!

"He's playing us for fools." Liang Man was so angry her chest ached, and she wanted nothing more than to kick Wang Gou Dan to death. "He just wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves!"

An Xin angrily slammed her fist on the table, startling Wang Gou Dan.

"Officer, I really don't know anything about this! It's not my fault, it's not my fault..."

Wang Gou Dan shrank into the corner, afraid that the two policewomen sisters would use him as a punching bag and beat him up.

The two women didn't even bother to look at him. After calling their colleagues, they changed into casual clothes and disappeared into the crowd.

Male police officers are much more noticeable than female police officers. If a burly man glances at you a few times, anyone would be wary. But if it's a beautiful woman of this caliber, even the men below won't think too much; they'll just wonder if they've got something dirty on them.

The exhibition hall normally closes at 6 p.m., and they waited there until closing time. The luminous pearl was still there, and apart from tourists taking pictures outside the yellow line, no one else approached it.

To prevent Wang Mahua from causing trouble behind their backs again, the head of the task force invited Wang Mahua to the exhibition hall, where he sat in the office with his younger brother, Gou Dan, staring at each other.

Ye Chen said he would come at midnight, but no one could guarantee that the other party wouldn't enter the building beforehand to set up traps. After all, this had happened before, so daytime vigilance was necessary.

"Brother, you've lost your ID."

A mocking voice reached his ears, and one of the plainclothes officers immediately turned around, but there were too many people around him, all walking away, so he didn't know who had spoken.

He touched his chest; his identification was still safely tucked away in his inner pocket.

Then, he blushed with embarrassment.

This action is tantamount to burying one's head in the sand, directly revealing that one of them is a police officer!

The crowd inside the exhibition hall dispersed, but the onlookers remained, standing far outside the hall, waiting for midnight to arrive.

Chapter 188 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang

It was 11:50 p.m.

The area outside was already completely packed with people, and despite the combined efforts of local security departments, they were unable to disperse the surging crowds.

They could only use their own bodies to form a wall, evacuating all the people within a 100-meter radius of the museum to ensure that no one could sneak in unnoticed.

Several soldiers, armed with futuristic drone countermeasure guns, drove away any drones that tried to approach.

The sky and the ground were covered with defenses set up by the task force. Even if Ye Chen had great abilities, he would have no chance of getting close to the Night Pearl unless he sent a legion to forcibly break in.

An Xin and Liang Man stood outside the Night Pearl cordon, gripping their pistols tightly. Anyone who approached would be stopped—including members of the task force.

No one knows if Ye Chen has already disguised himself as someone they are familiar with. So-called codes, voices, and mutual alarm signals are not as effective as prohibiting them from getting close.

To ensure that the luminous pearl has enough energy reserves to emit light, its display location is also carefully considered. It is topped with a transparent glass dome in the shape of a "sky curtain," which allows it to absorb ultraviolet rays during the day.

Meanwhile, patrolling the sky was a drone specially made by DJ for the task force's operation.

As time ticked by, An Xin could feel fine beads of sweat forming on her palms as she gripped the gun.

when!

The clock struck twelve from the tower not far away, and the crowd began to stir.

Tick-tock, tick-tock~

When the minute hand pointed to 3, the luminous pearl was still shining, but no one saw Ye Chen's figure.

"Is he not coming?"

"They must be scared."

"Perhaps they saw our heavy defenses and dared not approach, intending to launch a sneak attack when we relaxed our guard?"

Not only were the police officers whispering among themselves, but the same sounds could be heard even from the crowd.

Ye Chen stood him up for the first time!

At first, he sent out a notice, but the exhibition hall didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't even increase the number of night patrol personnel. As a result, he easily stole the treasure.

The later exhibits learned from their mistakes, but he still managed to steal the treasure right under their noses.

Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come, the LED advertising display screen on the building to the west of the museum flickered.

"Dear friends, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Wearing a white suit and a top hat, with his face blurred, Ye Chen appeared in everyone's sight.

Many people took out their phones to record the moment, and many had already started live streaming, all pointing their cameras at the advertising screen.

"Guess what I have in my hand?"

Although his expression was unclear, the crowd could still sense his confidence and pride.

Gao Zhenping, the head of the task force, walked with a solemn expression and went straight to the vicinity of the Night-Shining Pearl.

"Boss, I'm sorry, but according to the rules, you can't come near here."

Anxin acted strictly by the book, giving the team leader no chance to get close.

The order was given personally by the team leader, so he naturally obeyed. After stopping, he examined the beautiful beads and asked, "You haven't moved an inch?"

"No."

"Could he be trying to lure us away from our base?"

Looking at the glowing bead, Gao Zhenping felt that the light emitted by this luminous bead was somewhat unnatural.

Professionals have already entered the building, and the police have sealed off all the building's entrances and exits.

After carefully displaying the luminous pearl in his hand, Ye Chen turned the camera towards where he was.

This isn't near a museum; it looks like a bedroom.
