Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

The sound was very similar to... the sound of the miniature directional bomb he used when he stole the [Moonlight Eye].

"What are you thinking about? The party's over, let's go!"

Unaware of what was happening, Sun Yuqing grabbed Chen Feng's arm and pulled him away.

Chen Feng did not resist, but simply shook his head, interrupting his train of thought.

Perhaps I really misheard, or maybe it was just someone's lighter that accidentally exploded.

Putting aside his doubts, Chen Feng let Sun Yuqing drag him away from the Grand Theater with the crowd.

……

The next day, around noon.

Chen Feng was sitting at the front desk playing on his phone, just like always.

A news article he stumbled upon while casually scrolling through his browser instantly caught his attention:

[Shocking! Anna, a beautiful Russian star, mysteriously disappeared after her concert! Police later discovered evidence of an explosion during their investigation at the scene!]

Numerous netizens left comments below this news article:

"How could my goddess have disappeared? I clearly saw her at the concert yesterday!"

"Ahhh! My goddess! I hope it's just a false alarm, please don't let her be kidnapped by bad guys!"

"My God, there are still signs of an explosion at the scene. I hope my wife isn't in any danger."

"Shut your mouth, you upstairs!"

……

P.S.: Fellow readers! This subject matter is really brain-draining! I've lost a lot of hair! I'd appreciate a small gift as consolation!

Of course, it's okay if you don't send it, just don't scold me.

The humble author, Xiao Huihui, is deeply grateful!

Chapter 49 Kidnapping?

Anna has disappeared?

As Chen Feng looked at the news, his brows gradually furrowed.

The faint, muffled explosion from yesterday also came back to my mind.

I'm afraid... that's when it will happen.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then went outside and changed the sign from "In business" to "In resting".

He locked the shop door again and left the coffee shop.

At this time, in an abandoned factory on the western outskirts of H City.

More than 20 police cars were parked on the road next to the abandoned factory, and nearly 100 police officers in uniform were fully armed.

The safety is released, and the bullet is chambered.

The abandoned factory in front of us was completely surrounded.

squeak-

Several brake screech sounds rang out.

Five more police cars arrived.

After the vehicles came to a complete stop, the doors of all five cars were immediately pushed open.

H City Police Chief Luo Ya and Su Luoxue, along with the rest of the pursuit team, got out of the car.

Originally, Su Luoxue and others, who were dispatched to the program's pursuit department, were not required to participate in police missions.

However, the situation was urgent, and not enough manpower could be mobilized immediately.

In addition, most of the people in the pursuit team were sent by the police, so after discussing with the program team, Su Luoxue and others were urgently transferred to help.

This time, however, they were not dealing with "fugitives" from the show, but with desperate criminals armed with real guns.

The officers, dressed in police uniforms and wearing bulletproof vests, immediately took their positions as soon as they arrived, following the orders they had already received.

Su Luoxue accompanied Director Luo Ya to the command post temporarily set up by bulletproof cars.

"How is the situation now?"

As soon as he entered the command vehicle, Luo Ya asked with a serious expression.

Even he hadn't expected these desperados to be so arrogant.

Not only did they carry out kidnappings in the busiest urban areas, but they also brazenly used firearms, showing no fear of attracting the attention of the police.

Even after their operation was discovered and six people were killed in a police chase, the remaining three still took the hostages and hid in the abandoned factory, continuing their stubborn resistance.

When the team leader in charge of the scene saw the bureau chief arrive in person, he immediately saluted and reported.

“Currently, the remaining three bandits have been surrounded by us, but this place has many narrow paths and the road conditions are very complicated. In addition, they have hostages in their hands, so we dare not take any action easily.”

Roya nodded and pressed further, "Did they offer any terms?"

"Not yet. Our staff is still negotiating with the other party, but we have not received a response yet."

"No conditions were set?" Luo Ya frowned even more deeply.

Veteran detectives who have dealt with desperate criminals for years know that if someone is willing to offer terms, it means there's still room for negotiation, and the situation is easier to control.

Those who refuse to cooperate or even respond to messages are the most dangerous...

Luo Ya frowned, silently pondering a solution.

……

at the same time.

The interior of an abandoned factory.

Anna, her hands and feet bound and her mouth gagged, was huddled in a corner, her delicate features and makeup unable to conceal her fear.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and his pale blue eyes were filled with terror.

Not far from her, three bandits—one middle-aged man and two young men—were talking.

"What should we do? The area outside is completely surrounded by Chinese police. What should we do?"

The one who spoke was one of the young men, with short blond hair and typical Western features.

"I warned you and Paul beforehand to try not to fire, did you listen? Now you're panicking?"

Another middle-aged man with a Western appearance spoke up, his eyes filled with annoyance at the two men's previous behavior.

The young man called "Paul" didn't seem to care:

"What could Jon and I do if we didn't shoot? This woman has so many security guards around her, do you think we could have kidnapped her so easily without shooting her?"

“Yeah, John, if we were all as cowardly as you, we'd still be outside the theater enjoying the cool breeze right now.”

Jon chimed in with a similar statement.

“Ha, that’s still better than getting beaten to death!” John retorted without any politeness.

This statement came out.

Everyone present fell silent.

The hot-tempered Paul even strode up to Anna with a gun in hand, his face menacing.

"It's all because of that damned woman! Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost so many brothers!"

Anna was terrified when she saw the dark muzzle of a gun in front of her.

Even as an international superstar, she couldn't suppress her fear when her life was threatened.

Her pretty face turned deathly pale with fright, and her whole body trembled slightly—a fear of death.

Fortunately, Jon and John were still relatively sober.

They were startled to see Paul in such a posture that he seemed ready to fire at any moment, and quickly came up to him from both sides and pulled him back.

"Buddy, if you kill her now, we're finished! Those Chinese outside will storm in and send us to meet our maker!"

"Paul, are you crazy? This is the guy the boss wants! If you don't want to live, don't drag us down with you!"

Upon hearing the word "boss," Paul, who was on the verge of exploding in rage, unconsciously revealed a hint of fear in his eyes.

The anger in my heart seemed to be instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and I calmed down a lot.

Just then, the sound of police shouts came from outside the abandoned factory.

While giving the group hope of escape, he temporarily put aside his guard over Anna and returned to the table not far away to prepare to negotiate with the police outside.

Anna finally breathed a sigh of relief after the three of them left her side.

The feeling of escaping death was not pleasant. If her mouth hadn't been gagged, she would have liked to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Just as Anna seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

A white figure located on the factory ceiling, 6 or 7 meters above the ground, immediately caught her attention.

Her blue eyes widened instantly, and her heartbeat quickened considerably.

That's... Kidd!

Hidden in the ceiling, Chen Feng looked down and exchanged a glance with Anna, then put his hand to his lips, making a "shush" gesture.

Anna immediately understood, forcibly suppressing her excitement and putting on the same expression as before, so as not to be discovered by the three desperate men beside her.

Meanwhile, looking at Chen Feng's appearance above, a guess quietly formed in Anna's mind.

Three desperate criminals not far away were still negotiating with the police outside.

They also received the latest conditions from the police outside: the police were willing to open the road and let them leave, but the hostages needed to be released first.

The three weren't stupid; they knew that Anna was now their only trump card for survival.

If they send Anna away, their best outcome will be to be riddled with bullets on their way to escape.

Even if they were incredibly lucky and managed to escape capture, or even successfully return to a foreign country, their boss there would still make their lives a living hell because of the mission failure!
