Chapter 893: Chapter 893 There’s Something Strange Here

Following that, Lu Yi’s leader arrived, checked the computer and documents on the desk, then opened the safe. His face changed slightly, but he composed himself and calmly stated that nothing important was missing.

In light of Su Hui’s astuteness, how could she fail to notice the change in his expression? But since he claimed that nothing was lost, regardless of his purpose, Su Hui did not wish to probe further.

Although nothing was missing, it did not mean that nothing had happened. Lu Yi inquired if it was possible to catch the culprit.

To this, Su Hui assured there was no problem. Despite the thief being shrewd, knowing how to evade surveillance, and skilled in disguise, by checking the surveillance footage from the nearby streets during the time of the escape, and looking for any suspicious individuals, they would surely find the perpetrator through elimination.

Let’s take an example. On a street, there is a camera at the head, another at the tail, and one in the middle, with Lu Yi’s company located at the center of the street.

The masked thief used an umbrella for cover, entering from the head of the street, then reached the middle, where he blocked the central camera before stealing from Lu Yi’s company.

Upon leaving, the masked thief removed his mask and changed his outfit. However, due to the central street camera being obstructed, it was unclear what disguise the thief assumed.

Then, the thief casually walked away from the tail of the street, and during that time frame, the tail camera captured many people. Merged with the crowd in a new disguise, the thief appeared to have made an easy escape.

However, one crucial point must not be forgotten: the head count must match. If at a certain time, the head camera did not capture someone entering the street, but the tail camera captured them leaving, it would indicate that this person had emerged directly from a building in the middle of the street and then headed towards the tail.

Jie understood. That time frame coincided with the closing hours of the businesses, and there were very few people coming out of the building where the company was located. Even if the nearby cameras were blocked and did not capture this person, the fact that the individual appeared on the tail but not the head camera strongly suggested that this person was most likely the masked thief.

"I see!" Lu Yi finally understood and couldn’t help admiring the expertise. There certainly was a method to this.

"Alright, no need to flatter me. This case is a simple one. My colleagues will solve it quickly. Just wait for the good news," Su Hui said, just completing her sentence when Lu Yi looked puzzled. "What do you mean, Sister Su? Aren’t you handling this anymore?"

Su Hui showed a helpless expression, "The higher-ups want me to focus on more special cases from now on. If it weren’t for our friendship, I wouldn’t even come to the scene."

At this moment, Lu Yi’s leader approached with a question, "Comrade, since nothing is missing, probably there’s no need for such hard work. I think we should just let it go."

Hearing this, Su Hui’s brows furrowed. Her intuition told her that something very important was indeed missing, but Lu Yi’s leader did not want to disclose what was lost, hence the lack of interest in further investigation.

Su Hui did not want to delve into it too much. Zhuo Hang was already positioning all the special team members in response to Organization X. Su Hui really didn’t have the energy to handle more, so she directed Lu Yi’s leader to her colleagues for any further requirements.

Naturally, the case was easy to solve, and with that, the day’s events concluded. Su Hui took her leave while Lan Ning smiled and said goodbye, leaving a good impression. Then she noticed Lu Yi and Jie stealthily glancing at Lan Ning, and immediately understood everything.

As soon as Su Hui left, she couldn’t wait to call Gu Fan, "Hello, Gu Fan, I have something to tell you. Your two buddies are crushing on the same person, do you know who it is?"

"What? Sister Su, are you talking about Lu Yi and Jie? They’re both in love with the same person? It’s definitely not me, so who could it be?" Gu Fan was excited; he was eager to know which girl had caught Lu Yi and Jie’s attention.

"I’ll tell you when I get back, it’s really too funny," Su Hui said, unable to suppress her laughter.

Meanwhile, Lu Yi, Jie, and Lan Ning also left the company successively. Although the two men deliberately walked slowly, wanting to spend more time with Lan Ning, they soon reached the entrance of the company building.

"Alright, see you tomorrow," Lan Ning waved goodbye before parting ways with Lu Yi and Jie.

"Yes, goodbye, be careful on the road," Lu Yi and Jie said, somewhat reluctantly, as they watched Lan Ning’s graceful departing figure.

Watching Lan Ning vanish from sight, they both sighed, then exchanged glances, each noticing something unusual in the other’s eyes.

Jie immediately clarified, "Lu Yi, don’t overthink it. You met her first, and it was you who fancied her first. I won’t compete with you over her."

Hearing this, Lu Yi was somewhat embarrassed and then scratched his head, "Even though I met her before you, it doesn’t mean I can win her over, right? Someone like Lan Ning, she must have a lot of admirers, and those who dare to pursue her are bound to be outstanding. I guess I stand no chance."

Jie offered consolation, "Don’t say that; you have your own merits, maybe Lan Ning has unique tastes?"

Lu Yi found this response awkward, "What do you mean? Are you saying I’m an oddball?"

Jie hurriedly explained, "No, that’s not what I meant. I’m saying you’re special, and everyone’s criteria for choosing a partner are different, so don’t give up."

Lu Yi reflected for a moment, then shook his head, his expression deflated, "Forget it, if you like her, go for it. Don’t worry about me. That’s what I think; better for good brothers like us to keep it in the family than let someone else have it."

At this time, Lan Ning, who had walked a distance away, checked behind and, seeing no one following, picked up her phone and dialed a number, "Hello? Have you found the item we were looking for?"

An indifferent voice answered on the other side, "Rest assured, I’ve got it in hand. How did it go, I didn’t expose too much, did I?"

"Things didn’t go as smoothly as planned. Although you were very meticulous, you still appeared obvious to them. They could still trace your movements by clues. My advice is to leave the city before they find you," Lan Ning said, then hung up the phone, her expression turning serious.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Ning felt weighed down. The evening had been too challenging, straying significantly from the plan. She had not expected Lu Yi to return midway, nearly jeopardizing everything.
