Chapter 257: Jewelry Heist

Ai Li was alarmed by her getting up . The computer wasn’t turned off . Once the display was booted up, they could see the corridor .

It was three in the morning, yet these people were still moving around . They walked lightly .

Aside from that, they were not doing anything weird . When Xiangxiang couldn’t find anything wrong after a few minutes, she went back to her bed .

She had some filming to do tomorrow . When she took out her phone, she found that Han Zhaolin had replied to her message .

The pictures Xiangxiang gave were of people without criminal records . He gave her their information .

She perused the documents and thought something was off .

They came from the same town and were blue-collar workers . Two were construction workers . The others worked as security guards in various places .

This wasn’t a luxurious hotel, but they still lived in a luxury suite that cost five to six hundred per night .

Their income shouldn’t be able to support it even for a night . Besides, they didn’t seem like they were staying for only a night .

As she scrolled down, she noticed Zhaolin’s comment saying they stayed here for three days . That was suspicious .

Zhaolin asked her not to worry, as the trio was now under watch .

Xiangxiang went back to sleep . When she came back from filming the next day, she used an excuse to go to Yi Yan’s room .

She didn’t find any jewelry shops when she looked out the window, much to her disappointment . Yun Xiangxiang thought they were checking out their target here .

Her guess seemed to be off the mark . It was fortunate she didn’t tell Zhaolin about it, or things could have been awkward .

Xiangxiang didn’t bump into any of them the next few days, but she still heard footsteps . Even so, she didn’t get up to investigate anymore .

Around five days later, at midnight, Xiangxiang heard an alarm ringing . She jumped out of bed and went to a window in the corridor to check out the situation . She noticed the police cars which were swarming down there .

They seemed to have arrested a few people . A few cops came up soon after . With the manager guiding them, they went into that room .

Some officers took everyone’s testimonies in this story, attempting to find out about the men inside that room .

Xiangxiang said there were more than three in the room . She remembered there were five men in the room during the first night .

“Miss Yun Xiangxiang, you have provided useful testimony . They might have accomplices who escaped us . We need you to come with us to assist in the investigation,” the officer who took down the testimonies said .

“Of course . But I can’t go right now . I have to film tomorrow morning, but I will go with my agent after that,” Xiangxiang needed to film early in the morning .

The scene was set at five or six in the morning . The crew either worked through the night or would come to work at the break of dawn . If she were absent, they would have worked for nothing and would then need to repeat the torture the next day .

Since they were arrested, they could make them cough up their escaped partners’ whereabouts . Her being there or not made no difference . That was what she thought .



“Your job isn’t easy; we understand that . But this is not a simple burglary . Please understand . Now come with us,” he tried to force her .

“Your job isn’t easy . I understand that . But please know that my job isn’t simple either . You don’t have the right to force me,” Xiangxiang hated being forced to do things .


She was unhappy with the cop’s attitude . It was three in the morning now . She would be going to work soon .

She would only film until seven or eight . It wouldn’t take much time .

“Miss Yun, still surfing the web at this hour?” A cop saw the laptop’s LED flash .

It must be the battery getting low . She needed to hide the camera footage that was in there . Xiangxiang smiled calmly, “Must I power down my laptop before I sleep? Is surfing the web at midnight a crime?”

“Can I have a look?”

“Sorry, but that’s private,” Xiangxiang refused .

She wasn’t one of the suspects . Not even the enforcers could go through her personal belongings as they pleased .

The cops looked at each other . The senior one said, “Sorry for disturbing your rest . But please come to the station as soon as you can . ”

“Will do,” she nodded .



Xiangxiang didn’t tell Zhaolin about this . He Wei rushed over after she called him . He went to the station with her after filming was done .

Xiangxiang found out how skillful the thieves were . They couldn’t see any jewelry shops from where they stayed .

But they could see the mall behind the jewelry shop’s underground vents . It was a big mall . The first floor was wholly occupied by the display counters of the jewelry shops .

The basement’s second floor was a parking lot . The first floor of the basement was abandoned . Reasons unknown . They were planning to dig a hole from the basement and enter the shop quietly .

The store’s security guard didn’t have the keys . He could only keep watch outside . After some recon, they chose to infiltrate from the spot farthest away from the outside .

If they were careful, the security guard might not hear them . It was also the dead of night . Humans would be at their most tired .

The cops waited until they stole jewelry worth tens of millions of yuan before they caught them in the act .

These thieves had a high chance of success even though they were first-timers . They could have gotten away with it if it were not for the meddling Yun Xiangxiang . By the time it was discovered, they would have gone heaven knows where .

The mall’s CCTV system was also cut off . It wouldn’t be easy to pursue them .

Yun Xiangxiang thought she only needed to make a testimony, but then the case got complicated .

“These men may be first-timers, but they are meticulous and detailed . Even after their capture, they didn’t panic . They did not ramble . They don’t seem like first-timers to me,” said the vice-captain . “We managed to nip them in the bud this time, thanks to Miss Yun, I know . ”



“Captain Luo, say what you have to say . Don’t beat around the bush,” Yun Xiangxiang raised her hand .

Only Zhaolin knew about her messages . If this Captain Luo could get this info from him, there must be something between them .

Whether this guy was related to Ah Mian was irrelevant . Since he was a friend of her boyfriend’s best buddy, she would help wherever she could .

“There was a period of time where they didn’t contact each other . I suspect that there’s something bigger behind this and that they’ve been trained,” Captain Luo cut to the chase . “But they refused to say anything about this . ”

“If even you guys failed to get any info, how do you expect me to?” Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled .

“One of them mentioned you,” Captain Luo replied .
