Chapter 833: Chapter 0834: Major Theft Case Resurfaces

Although Zhao Ruxue said so, she felt a bit happy in her heart. At least she could tell that her importance in Ye Qiu’s eyes was different from Zhao Rubing’s.

When Ye Qiu picked up the necklace and prepared to put it on her, Zhao Ruxue said, "I don’t want to wear it now!"

Zhao Ruxue worried about agitating her sister; that would not be good.

As she put it away, she glanced at Ye Qiu, then held the necklace and went to place it somewhere safe.

As for those two dresses, she had just looked at them—they were beautiful, and she really liked them. However, she thought Ye Qiu was spending too much money.

After taking a bath and checking those surveillance videos, Zhao Rubing hadn’t come out yet. Ye Qiu stepped out of the VIP room.

Previously, two people had already died here. Although only the security guard was found dead inside, Ye Qiu hadn’t anticipated that the place seemed unaffected.

When he came out now, the number of customers drinking had somewhat increased.

"One glass of vodka, on the rocks!"

Ye Qiu said to the bartender at the counter.

After the bartender poured him a glass of vodka and added ice, Ye Qiu sat in the corner.

Once Zhao Rubing calmed her emotions, she no longer acted as she had earlier. Coming out and not seeing Ye Qiu, she initially thought the scoundrel had left.

Upon stepping outside and noticing Ye Qiu’s car still parked by the entrance, Zhao Rubing came back in and saw him sitting in the corner, waving at her.

"You bastard, I just thought you left!"

"Why would I leave? I still have to help Ruxue investigate the case tonight!"

Ye Qiu replied.

Having already calmed down, Zhao Rubing suddenly felt a surge of anger again. She thought Ye Qiu was biased and deliberately provoking her.

Ye Qiu spoke casually, as though he said it unintentionally, without considering her feelings.

When Zhao Rubing got up and walked away, Ye Qiu thought she was angry.

Unexpectedly, she merely turned toward the bar to grab a bottle of liquor and brought over a glass.

Watching Zhao Rubing, it was clear she drank often.

Honestly, Ye Qiu didn’t like girls who drank or smoked. Yet, since Zhao Rubing managed a bar like this, how could she not drink?

"What were you doing in France?"

"Didn’t I mention it during our phone call?"

"Helping that Earl with his illness?"

...

About half an hour later, as Ye Qiu returned to the VIP room, Zhao Rubing followed.

Upon entering, Ye Qiu saw Zhao Ruxue wearing pajamas, sitting at the computer desk, meticulously reviewing playback footage of the surveillance videos obtained today.

A focused man is attractive, captivating.

Undoubtedly, a woman engrossed in her work was too.

Ye Qiu walked up to Zhao Ruxue. She was glued to the surveillance footage, but upon catching a whiff of the alcohol on him, she said, "How much have you had to drink?"

"Rubing and I had a bottle of liquor."

Zhao Rubing was already somewhat drunk and had gone to rest first.

"Go rinse your mouth; the smell of alcohol is overpowering!"

Ye Qiu went to the bathroom to freshen up, then circulated the Primordial Five Emperors Technique to dispel the alcohol from his system entirely, eliminating the smell.

Returning to Zhao Ruxue’s side, he noticed her staring at the computer, blinking a little from eye strain. Looking at screens during the daytime wasn’t as tiring, but staring late at night was particularly bothersome.

She needed a lot of patience now, meticulously reviewing footage starting from five days ago at the first jewelry store targeted. She diligently watched, leaving no detail unnoticed.

She even paid attention if customers brought pet dogs inside, examining them carefully.

However, she hadn’t seen anything suspicious yet.

By two or three in the morning, Ye Qiu was already feeling sleepy, but Zhao Ruxue continued to watch.

"Aren’t you working tomorrow?"

"I am!"

Zhao Ruxue replied with a yawn.

"Then go rest. I’ll help you keep watching!"

But Zhao Ruxue responded, "I want to look a bit longer."

As she stared at the computer, Ye Qiu leaned close to her, catching the faint fragrance from her body and hair—an intoxicating scent.

He leaned closer and closer. Zhao Ruxue glanced at him but didn’t say anything.

Attempting to wrap his arms around her waist, Zhao Ruxue told him, "Don’t interrupt my work."

She was mainly concerned her sister might see them, which would be embarrassing.

With that, Ye Qiu merely sat beside her, quietly, without disturbing her as she continued studying the surveillance footage.

By four or five in the morning, Zhao Ruxue was ready to get some sleep. Planning to wake up later and return to the City Police Bureau, her phone suddenly rang. Upon checking the screen, she saw it was a call from the City Police Bureau.

"Captain Zhao, several jewelry stores were just robbed again. Hurry back to the City Police Bureau for a meeting!"

What?

Several more jewelry stores robbed?

At this hour of four or five in the morning, the burglary must have occurred around one or two, or two or three.

Despite being fatigued, Zhao Ruxue immediately became alert.

"I’ll head back at once."

Zhao Ruxue rushed to the bathroom to freshen up, shaking off her sleepiness, then changed into her usual attire—her police uniform was back at her City Police Bureau office.

Leaving the bathroom, she looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Can you give me a ride to the City Police Bureau?"

She felt guilty that her work had made Ye Qiu stay up the entire night.

"I’ll take you there."

As he and Zhao Ruxue walked out of the Norwegian Forest Bar, the place was now quiet, with only a few guests still around.

Getting into the car, Zhao Ruxue said, "I just got a call from the City Police Bureau; another wave of jewelry store thefts has occurred. The roads leading out of Jinling are now mostly blocked."

Ye Qiu hadn’t expected the burglars to be so brazen. Having committed a crime last night, they struck again tonight—it had to be the same group.

While driving toward the City Police Bureau, as they arrived at its gates, Zhao Ruxue got out and told Ye Qiu to go home and rest.

"Then I’ll sleep a bit and come find you later!"

After Zhao Ruxue entered the City Police Bureau, Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

He planned to sleep first, then meet Zhao Ruxue afterward.

As for the military training happening, Ye Qiu figured he could attend or skip it—it didn’t matter much to him.

Driving back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, he quietly returned to his room upstairs, laid down, and fell asleep instantly.

When he woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.

After breakfast, Ye Qiu called Zhao Ruxue and learned that she was in her office.
