Chapter 830: Chapter 0831: Major Theft Case

Ye Qiu was sitting on the bed waiting when his phone suddenly rang. He saw it was Zhou Wenting calling.

"Wenting, what’s up?"

Ye Qiu asked.

Since returning from France, Zhou Wenting had resumed her job at Jinling Hospital, while Ye Qiu had been busy with his own matters and hadn’t contacted her.

"Something big happened!"

Late last night, several of Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group’s direct jewelry stores in Jinling Jiangnan had their doors broken open. The perpetrators barged in and stole all the jewelry from the counters.

It wasn’t until this morning when the managers of these stores arrived to open up that they discovered all the jewelry had been stolen. Surveillance footage revealed that the security cameras had been tampered with and rendered useless.

While working her morning shift at Jinling Hospital, Zhou Wenting suddenly received a call from her older sister, asking her to come to the headquarters of Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group.

"Several jewelry stores were robbed."

Zhou Wenting explained.

"How much was lost?"

"Nearly a billion yuan!"

Zhou Wenting answered.

Ye Qiu was stunned. Jewelry worth over a billion yuan stolen overnight—this was no small matter.

"Do you need my help with anything?"

Ye Qiu asked curiously.

"Not really, just thought I’d give you a call."

The store managers had already reported the theft to the police in the morning, and the head office had also contacted the Jinling Police Bureau, as this amounted to a major case given the enormous financial loss.

Ye Qiu understood why Zhou Wenting was calling him. It wasn’t just about the billion-yuan loss; she merely wanted to reconnect with him.

However, Ye Qiu’s thoughts quickly turned to Zhao Ruxue. With such a massive theft case happening, she would certainly be tied up with work.

"Alright, I’m off to lunch now."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu didn’t dwell on the matter further.

At that moment, Luo Yang and his friends had already finished showering and changing, and they were heading toward the cafeteria. Ye Qiu spotted Li Qianqian walking toward them along with Han Xiaowan.

However, Li Qianqian didn’t appear cheerful—in fact, she seemed somewhat angry.

"Qianqian, who upset you?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"Ha, so amazing—now you’re on the Winds and Clouds Ranking!"

Li Qianqian sneered sarcastically.

The story of Ye Qiu fighting with Instructor Zhang had already reached her. Ye Qiu had taken on Zhang for Liu Lingxiu’s sake.

She understood that, given Ye Qiu’s character, getting into a scuffle with an instructor wasn’t out of the ordinary. What truly bothered her was Zhang Shaowei’s decision to pull out his gun and threaten Ye Qiu. If Zhang had really pulled the trigger, what would have happened to Ye Qiu?

That was what Li Qianqian truly feared.

Of course, she also felt a sour pang—why would Ye Qiu go to such lengths for Liu Lingxiu, but not for her?

"The Winds and Clouds Ranking? I don’t pay attention to that nonsense!"

Ye Qiu couldn’t care less about such rankings; he considered himself a very low-key person.

Li Qianqian didn’t say anything further, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Now, everyone else knew Liu Lingxiu was Ye Qiu’s girlfriend. So what was her relationship with Ye Qiu supposed to mean anymore?

Once they got to the cafeteria and sat down, Ye Qiu pulled out his meal card and handed it to Zhou Shaohui, asking him to fetch the food. Then he turned to Li Qianqian and said, "What would you like to eat?"

"I’m too angry to eat!"

Li Qianqian snapped.

"Fine, then don’t eat."

Ye Qiu didn’t indulge spoiled princesses like Li Qianqian—the more one spoiled them, the more trouble they caused.

Seeing that Ye Qiu genuinely didn’t care, Li Qianqian stormed off with Han Xiaowan and the others.

Ye Qiu didn’t chase after her, which surprised Ning Yun.

Ning Yun simply couldn’t fathom how Ye Qiu, despite being entangled with Liu Lingxiu, still refused to cater to Li Qianqian—even though she was the mayor’s daughter.

The rumor at Jin University was that Yun Xiang, the eldest young master of the Yun Family, had been pursuing Li Qianqian for some time, though she hadn’t given him the time of day.

Yun Xiang had always ranked in the top three of Jin University’s Winds and Clouds Ranking.

Only now did Ning Yun understand why he had started to admire Ye Qiu.

After lunch, Ye Qiu returned to the training grounds for the afternoon session. He was sitting there, waiting for Instructor Wu to arrive, when he decided to call Zhao Ruxue.

"Ruxue, what are you up to?"

With the major jewelry theft discovered earlier that morning, the City Police Bureau had immediately formed a special investigation unit. Originally, Zhao Ruxue had been a key member working on the mass poisoning case, but with no leads on that matter and no pressure from higher-ups, she had now been reassigned to the theft investigation team.

This was largely due to the significant contribution Zhao Ruxue had made during the previous bank robbery investigation.

"I just finished a meeting and was about to eat."

Zhao Ruxue sounded tired.

"Are you investigating the jewelry theft case?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"How do you know about that?"

Zhao Ruxue was surprised—did Ye Qiu already know something?

"Zhou Wenting told me about it earlier at noon. They lost nearly a billion in jewelry."

Turns out the fourth daughter of the Zhou Family had informed Ye Qiu, which wasn’t particularly surprising.

"Yes, the loss is massive. But we don’t have any leads right now. Initially, we hoped to gather information from surveillance footage, only to find out all the cameras had been destroyed. This suggests the crime was carried out by a premeditated, organized group. The concern is that the culprits might leave Jinling after this, making the investigation even harder."

"Really? Do you need my help?"

Ye Qiu offered.

"If you have time, feel free to come by."

Zhao Ruxue had long since realized Ye Qiu wasn’t an ordinary person. From his assistance in previous cases and his knack for solving crimes, she could tell.

Aside from the unresolved mass poisoning case, all others cracked with Ye Qiu’s help had quickly led to the culprits.

"I’m still busy with military training for now."

"Then come by after you’re done with that."

Zhao Ruxue had been busy with paperwork since the investigation team was formed, but she still needed to visit the robbed jewelry stores herself.

"Alright, I’ll head over shortly."

Before Instructor Wu arrived, Ye Qiu turned to Luo Yang and said, "Tell Instructor Wu I have something important to handle, so I won’t be practicing military boxing this afternoon."

"Got it, Brother Qiu."

Ye Qiu returned to the male dormitory, changed into casual clothes, then went to his car. Once inside, he called Zhao Ruxue again and learned that she was having lunch at the City Police Bureau cafeteria.

Driving over and parking in the bureau’s lot, Ye Qiu found out that Zhao Ruxue had finished her meal.

Instead of getting out, he called her and asked her to come outside to meet him.

Zhao Ruxue, dressed in her police uniform and carrying her briefcase, stepped into Ye Qiu’s car. Ye Qiu noticed she looked a little different from the last time they’d met.
