Chapter 798: Chapter 802: Intense Gaze_1
"That woman seems to have some kind of superpower that enhances luck, she always manages to find valuable things in unlikely places, and she’s never failed. However, since the antiques she discovers are always inexpensive, no one else has noticed this except me," Little Fatty said.
"Really? Is that so?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Humph! Fatso, are you trying to trick me?" Yang Gang suddenly sneered, "Zuo Lan has strong anti-tracking abilities, you’ve been following her for so long, and she didn’t notice?"
"That’s because I’m clever. In fact, the first time I followed her, I was discovered. But I responded quickly, pretending to be just a peeping Tom. She thought I was just leering at her, so she didn’t suspect my real purpose." Little Fatty answered quickly, a little taken aback.
Yang Gang was slightly surprised, this guy is interesting!
"Alright, get lost!" said Yang Gang.
Upon hearing this, Little Fatty didn’t hesitate and ran away.
After Little Fatty left, Yang Gang immediately dialed Ye Wu’s number.
Ye Wu, who possessed the Stealth Ability, was currently the second-in-command at the ’Love and World Peace’ Intelligence Department. At the same time, she was also the head of the Xueji National Intelligence Department.
"Keep a constant eye on someone for me," Yang Gang then gave Little Fatty’s information to Ye Wu.
"Understood, Your Majesty."
When Yang Gang met up with Yang Fei and her friends, they were in an antique shop specializing in ceramic plates. Zuo Lan walked to a shelf, reached out and picked up one of the ceramic plates, examining it.
The ceramic plate was about twenty centimetres in size, with a diameter of over ten centimetres at the base. It had an elegant and graceful design and was of moderate thickness.
"Zuo Lan, can you tell if it’s worth anything?" Yang Gang asked nonchalantly.
Zuo Lan put down the plate and smiled faintly, "It’s just a hobby of mine, I’m not very knowledgeable about antiques."
"Hmm..." Yang Gang’s eyes flashed. Clearly, Zuo Lan was deliberately hiding something.
However, Yang Gang did not show any suspicion.
The trio spent half a day wandering around Antique City, but didn’t find anything valuable. Even Yang Fei, who initially appeared to be the most excited, was now disheartened.
"It seems we’re not that lucky. How about we call it a day?" Zuo Lan suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just then, someone in the crowd shouted: "Thief!"
Then, they saw a man in his thirties, holding a lady’s handbag, and running their way.
Yang Gang’s brows furrowed, he was about to take action when Zuo Lan beat him to it.
She stretched out her foot and the man tripped, falling hard on the ground.
Yang Fei, who never ignored injustice, immediately followed with a grappling move, pinning the man down so he couldn’t move.
"I’m not a thief, this is my bag. That woman was crying thief to cover her tracks, she’s the real thief!" the man said.
’Tut!’ a bystander pointed at the man and said, "A grown man using a woman’s bag."
"It belongs to my wife."
"So where is your wife then?"
"She- she-" The man stuttered and was unable to speak.
"If it’s your bag, why were you running?" Yang Fei asked.
"I, I, had a reflex reaction," replied the man.
"Haha, this thief can’t even lie properly," a bystander laughed, "Should we take him to the police station?"
At this moment, the woman who had cried ’Thief!’ ran over, snatched the bag from the man’s hand, and kicked him viciously, "You thief, stealing in broad daylight, you’re asking for it!"
She kicked him a couple more times.
With tears in his eyes, the man remained silent.
Yang Gang’s expression hardened.
At this point, Zuo Lan walked over and looked into the man’s eyes.
After a few moments, she looked away, saying calmly, "He’s telling the truth, this bag is indeed his."
The crowd erupted in surprise.
Yang Gang was also taken aback.
"Are you his accomplice? Even after being caught red-handed, you’re still covering for him?" The woman who had cried ’Thief!’ pointed at Zuo Lan, sharply, "He snatched my bag from me, many people saw it."
"Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes." Someone from the crowd said.
"I saw it too."
The woman looked triumphant.
Despite the suspicious glances from the crowd, Zuo Lan maintained her calm demeanor.
She looked at the woman and said, "Since it’s your bag, can you tell us what’s inside?"
The woman’s face changed, "Why, why should I tell you?"
"You don’t know because you stole the bag from this gentleman before you had a chance to open it, and got caught by him."
Zuo Lan paused before saying, "If you claim that this man robbed you in broad daylight, then from the time he stole your bag, to the time we stopped him, there was absolutely no time for him to open the bag. In other words, if the bag is not his, he would have no idea what’s inside it, right?"
The last sentence was directed at the bystanders.
"That makes sense." The crowd nodded in agreement.
Zuo Lan walked over to the man again, "Feifei, let him go first."
"But..."
"Feifei, let him go." Yang Gang also spoke up.
"Okay." Yang Fei nodded and let go of the man.
Zuo Lan helped the man up, then asked, "Sir, you claim this bag is yours, do you know what’s inside?"
"Of course! My ID and my release papers from prison, as well as a jade carving inherited from my ancestors. But, I had an expert look at it, and it’s a fake. It’s been passed down through many generations in my family, and the only valuable thing turned out to be a fake..." The man’s voice trailed off, choking back tears.
"Ha, did you all hear that? He said a release certificate from prison. What does that mean? It means he’s a convicted criminal, possibly a thief in the past," the plump woman immediately added.
"Yes, I admit, I was previously convicted for theft, which is why I’m so sensitive to the phrase ’catch the thief’, and my instinct was to run. But!" the man caught his breath, continuing, "I swear, I have reformed. This is really my bag."
Zuo Lan snatched the bag from the chubby woman, opened it.
As the man said, the ID and release papers inside the bag were indeed his. In addition, there was a wooden box containing a jade carving.
The crowd burst into murmurs of surprise upon seeing this.
Realizing she was in a bad situation, the plump woman quickly tried to flee.
However, Zuo Lan stepped forward, reaching out to grab the woman’s arm, "Sister, we need to report this to the police station."
"Get the hell away from me!" The woman’s face turned, and she pulled out a knife from her bosom, stabbing viciously at Zuo Lan’s hand.
"Watch out!" The crowd gasped, trying to warn her.
But it was too late, the sharp blade stabbed into Zuo Lan’s arm, blood gushed out.
"Bastard!" Yang Fei was furious.
She kicked the woman down and started hitting and kicking her. As this was happening, the police arrived.
The lead officer was none other than Shitou.
Shitou was one of the earliest members to join ’Love and World Peace’. He used to be a mercenary, but was later enlisted by Yang Gang. However, because Shitou was neither smart nor a genetic modification, he couldn’t enter the core member circle of ’Love and World Peace’. Of course, Yang Gang didn’t mistreat him and made him the captain of the Xueji Capital Mist City Peace District Criminal Police Brigade.
Upon seeing Yang Gang, Shitou was shocked.
If it weren’t for Yang Gang’s timely intervention with a glance, Shitou would have blurted out ’Your Majesty’ in his excitement.
Following Yang Gang’s gaze, Shitou promptly arrested the plump woman and escorted her away.
Meanwhile, Yang Gang was closely watching the blood oozing out from Zuo Lan’s wound, his eyes growing even more intense.
