Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Catch the Thief Together

The masked thief grabbed items from the desk and hurled them at Lu Yi, catching Lu Yi off guard and then charging forward to land a kick on him.

"My God!" Lu Yi fell to the ground, clutching the spot where he’d been kicked, feeling a wave of intense pain.

The masked thief easily stepped over Lu Yi and then dashed towards Jie, but to the thief’s surprise, Jie had some skills. After a few maneuvers, the masked thief just couldn’t get the better of him.

With no other option, the masked thief once again grabbed objects from the office desk and threw them at Jie. Then the thief stood on the desk, leaped over to another one, jumping from one desk to another.

Jie wouldn’t let go so easily; he ran quickly and tackled the thief, grabbing the thief’s legs, causing the thief to lose balance and fall to the ground.

The masked thief wouldn’t surrender without a fight and managed to pull one leg free, then gave a hard kick to Jie’s head.

"Damn it!" Jie took a blow to the head, which left him feeling dizzy and his brain swollen.

Seizing the opportunity, the masked thief quickly got up, only to be tackled again by Lu Yi. The poor thief had just risen when he was brought down once more.

The masked thief, furious, pushed Lu Yi away and delivered an elbow strike that landed solidly on Lu Yi’s forehead, giving Lu Yi quite the shock.

At this moment, Lan Ning, terrified, had hidden herself away, clueless. Seeing Lu Yi and Jie working together and still not overcoming the masked thief made her panic. Just then, she spotted a box of files nearby, so she mustered the courage to grab the box in her hands.

Jie exchanged a few blows with the masked thief but couldn’t win the fight. The thief punched Jie in the face, causing his nose to bleed and making him stagger back several steps.

Lu Yi desperately wrapped his arms around the masked thief from behind, refusing to let go, but the thief was too strong and Lu Yi was losing his grip. He called out urgently, "Jie, hurry up and hit this bastard."

"I’m coming, hang in there." Jie rushed over and swung at the masked thief with his fists, aiming for the face, and nearly knocked off the mask with the third punch.

It was then that Jie realized he had been foolish. He should have tried to remove the thief’s mask, so he reached out to do just that.

Suddenly, the masked thief jumped up, both feet leaving the ground, delivering a flying kick to Jie, sending him flying. The kick was so powerful that even after Jie hit the ground, he rolled over.

Lan Ning, holding a stack of files, came to support, calling out strikes on the masked thief’s head, but her movements were too refined to appear harmful.

The masked thief twisted his head and dodged Lan Ning’s paper assault, but Lu Yi, still clinging to the thief from behind, wasn’t so fortunate. He was struck by the thick stack of files, feeling an impact that left his head buzzing.

The masked thief broke free from Lu Yi’s grasp, then counterattacked with a judo throw that flipped Lu Yi over, and then stomped heavily on him.

Jie charged in again, but before he could land a blow, the masked thief’s punch sent him reeling, disoriented.

Seeing both Jie and Lu Yi beaten, Lan Ning, the only woman present, really got scared and quickly hid to one side.

The masked thief let out a cold snort and then hastily fled the scene.

"My goodness, that really hurts." Lu Yi struggled to his feet and then asked, "Are you all okay?"

"I’m fine!" Jie also stood up afterwards, but he was a bit shaky. He was also frustrated because he had been regularly training at a fight club and had improved his skills. He hadn’t expected that he would still be unable to beat a skilled opponent.

"Let’s call the police," suggested Lan Ning, and Lu Yi nodded in agreement.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Hui arrived at the scene with several officers. Seeing Lu Yi and Jie bruised and battered, she shook her head and sighed, "What happened to you guys? Two men and you couldn’t beat one, and got beaten into pig heads."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately retorted, "Cut the crap. We can’t beat you even when several of us join hands, let alone one. It doesn’t stop us from living strong lives."

"Alright, alright, my bad. I shouldn’t have said that about you guys. Tell me what exactly happened here," Su Hui said while she noticed Lan Ning beside her, driven by curiosity, she couldn’t help but speculate about Lan Ning and Lu Yi’s relationship.

Lu Yi went through the details of what had happened, and on reflection, he was also frightened by the ordeal. It was fortunate that the three of them had come back together; had Lan Ning been alone, who knows what might have happened.

Su Hui also felt it was a stroke of luck within misfortune, as it would have been very dangerous for one person to come across someone with such impressive skills.

"You guys are really lucky, forgetting your keys on the same day and then running into each other when you came back to get them," Su Hui couldn’t resist teasing them a bit and looked at Lu Yi and Lan Ning with a hint of suggestiveness.

Lan Ning, feeling embarrassed by the look, walked away, and both Lu Yi and Jie couldn’t help but glance at Lan Ning’s retreating figure.

Sharp as she was, Su Hui instantly knew that both Lu Yi and Jie were interested in Lan Ning. So she coughed and said, "Alright, you two, I’m a beauty too, please take a look at me. Don’t just gaze at other beauties all the time."

However, Lu Yi and Jie acted as if they hadn’t heard her at all, still focusing their attention on Lan Ning who was making a phone call in the corner, completely ignoring Su Hui.

"Come on guys, if you don’t cooperate, how am I supposed to solve the case?" Su Hui said, moving her arms and legs in a mock-up of someone ready to throw a punch, which scared Lu Yi and Jie into immediately bringing their attention back to Su Hui.

Upon investigation, it was found that the intruder had come prepared, seemingly knowing the positions of all surveillance cameras and taking very tricky angles, using an umbrella to successfully shield their body. Then, they approached the cameras and covered them with paper.

It was not just the office area that had been tampered with, but nearby outdoor surveillance cameras had also been covered. Moreover, it was very likely that the person had brought a change of clothes, so after pulling together footage from a few streets in the vicinity, there was no sign of someone fitting the description provided by Lu Yi and Jie, wearing a jacket with jeans.

"Better notify your boss to see what’s missing," Su Hui had just finished speaking when Lan Ning came over to say she had already phoned their leader, who would arrive in about ten minutes.

Su Hui was pleased that Lan Ning had already thought of this and then saw Lan Ning passing over tea, making Su Hui feel appreciative. Su Hui then thought of the two guys who didn’t think to care for others’ hard work, and she gave Lu Yi and Jie a glare: "Meaning you two should take a good look at her and learn."
