Bao Gucheng's belt has disappeared into thin air.
The belt itself isn't expensive.
But, the belt buckle is a piece of top-quality Ancient Jade, handcrafted by a master artisan, exceptionally smooth, and has been with him for many years, worth a fortune.
Just like that... it vanished under everyone's eyes.
Chen Long was annoyed: "Mr. Bai, did you do this!"
Bai Fei couldn't help but mutter, "Unjust accusation, Chen Qingtian, you've declared I'm a man, so why would I steal a man's belt. Besides, how would I dare..."
Bao Gucheng furrowed his brows, looking at a flock of birds flying away happily in the distance, strangely feeling something was odd.
Today he didn't just lose his Jade belt; his Parker Pen, tucked in his shirt, was also gone.
The point is, if anyone in the world could get close to him with such skill, why take these worthless trinkets, isn't taking his life more valuable?
His life is at the top of the bounty rankings on black markets around the world.
Why encounter such a baffling thief, such an illogical situation?
Over there, Bai Fei, unable to hold back, burst into laughter: "Mr. Bo, traveling with you is really fun, such a joyful countryside trip, hahaha..."
Just as he laughed twice, he suddenly felt a chill around his waist.
"Whoosh——!"
Somehow his belt was deftly and quickly "borrowed" by a man's large hand.
Bai Fei, holding up his pants in a fluster, couldn't laugh anymore: "Sir, this is not how you treat a brother..."
Without Mr. Bo's charming V-line abs, it's hard to keep the pants up, ah, ah, ah.
"Sir, the girl bandit's car has been caught on camera!" Chen Long received the news and reported swiftly.
Bao Gucheng: "Where is it?"
Chen Long: "Heading towards the city center! The route..."
The route seemed familiar; could it be that girl bandit left from Qingcheng High School, holy crap.
Bao Gucheng's face sank, becoming more stern: "Get in the car."
He was going to catch her himself.
Bai Fei, holding up his pants, quickly followed: "Mr. Bo, take me on this wild chase..."
He's too curious, what kind of girl bandit would strike at Mr. Bo at night and make him hunt her personally?

Xi Chansha, the third in the Xi family, has been feeling a bit restless lately.
There's been a not-too-small problem in his business.
It's because of a batch of antique vases worth fifty million he acquired; two highly reputable appraisal institutions gave completely opposite opinions, one saying they are real and the other fake.
But the contracts are signed, and the down payment of twenty-five million is paid. If he returns the goods, he'll be throwing money away.
The key is, many people are eyeing this batch of goods, and if a competitor takes them, his business will be very passive for some time.
But if they are fake...
The consequences are unthinkable!
A huge loss!
At this crossroads, Zuzi, the sister who was recently found, came into the family.
Logically speaking, blood ties are there, and he should acknowledge her.
He had also looked forward to this third sister.
But unlike Gu Qiusha, who is naive and sweet, eagerly rushing to make up for the lost daughter of eighteen years.
With years in business, he is more rational.
Half a year ago, he had secretly investigated Zuzi's life in that remote village.
What he found enraged him; he does not have such a sister, who is both useless and foolish.
With an intelligence level only achieving compulsory education, with exams resulting in scores unknown beyond zero.
Being foolish aside, she's also trouble-prone.
At three and a half, she caused the death of a neighbor's son.
At six, she got into a fight in elementary school, blinding her deskmate, causing her adoptive parents to compensate so heavily that they went bankrupt, turning from farmers to paupers.
In the first year of middle school, she was expelled for poor grades, then her adoptive parents knelt and pleaded with the principal for three days and nights to get her a chance to audit classes again.
High school? She didn't attend at all!
If it weren't for his naive and sweet biological mom gifting properties, would this fool even have the chance to join classes for the college entrance exam?
