The smoke dispersed.
Jin Xuan Ming lay on the floor motionlessly and the fans started to cry out loud. The main organizers of the event had already fled. They had been extrely frightened and ran away as quickly as they could.
The manager was extrely anxious. She kept looking around and when she saw Jin Xuan Ming lying on the floor, she ran over. “Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming...” When she saw that his handso and girly face was disfigured, she was dumbfounded. She quickly called the police.
“It’s over... It’s over...” After making the call, she collapsed onto the ground. Everything was over. Xuan Ming’s face had beco handso after plastic surgery but his current state was extrely bad. Who knew how long he would need to recover fully? Furthermore, he’d have beco a forgotten celebrity after he recovered.
She knew that there were a lot of brainless fans in China and they could treat you like their own parents when they were your fans. However, they were extrely pragmatic. They only cared about looks and if the celebrity wasn’t good looking anymore, they would switch their attention to another one.
The manager sat on the floor motionlessly and was in a daze.
...
It was a team of five burglars and four of them had already gathered together.
They were in a certain isolated place.
The woman that had disguised as a pregnant lady took out sothing from her abdon and smiled. “How was that? My acting skills are superb, right?”
The man that had disguised as a doctor smiled. “Yeah, it was aweso. However, your action shocked all of us. Why didn’t you take Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s artwork instead of this one?”
The ‘pregnant lady’ said, “Initially, our target was the ‘Hundred flowers’ artwork but I heard people say that this artwork could be considered the best of the century. Hence, I went to have a look and this artwork is indeed beautiful. Furthermore, the inscription is unknown but the quality is so much better than the other artwork. You guys can have a look.”
The other three mbers nodded and opened up the package. Then, they smiled after looking at it. “It’s indeed a magnificent drawing.”
They were all burglars. They had done sufficient research on artworks. This artwork was way better than Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s ‘Hundred flowers’ artwork.
“Hey, why isn’t Lil’ Zhang here yet?” The burglar that had kicked Jin Xuan Ming furrowed his brows. “When I left, he was still hiding in the crowd. He should be here by now. Could sothing have happened to him?”
“Not possible. Lil’ Zhang is extrely cautious and he hid in the crowds. He couldn’t have been found out. Hey, look, he’s here,” the man who disguised as the doctor said.
In the distance.
A man quickly ran over. When he saw his group of friends, he heaved a sigh of relief. After all, it was normal to find comfort in them.
“Lil’ Zhang, what took you so long?”
Lil’ Zhang replied, “I didn’t want to be this slow. When I was hiding in the crowd, I realized that the young man who was standing beside Master Yue Qiu was smiling at . He looked as if he knew what I was up to. I was extrely nervous and so I walked around for a bit longer.”
They all shook their heads. “That can’t be, you were probably just hallucinating. How could he have found out about you? Anyway, we did well this ti. Let’s contact our old custor and find out the price of this. I think it’s worth a lot more than the other one.”
Lil’ Zhang nodded. “Yeah, I think I was just too nervous. How could anyone have found out about ?”
The burglars laughed. They thought that they could rest for so ti after this heist.
There were a lot of good things in the world but they couldn’t steal so of them as the risk involved was too high. This type of art exhibitions was the easiest to steal from. The security asures weren’t good and they could do it just by planning ahead.
Suddenly, a voice ca and they were all stunned.
“You weren’t nervous for nothing. I really knew that it was you.”
The crowd was stunned when they heard it. They looked around and saw a man walking towards them. It was soone that they didn’t recognize. However, Lil’ zhang realized who he was and he gasped, “It’s him! He’s the one who smiled at .”
Lin Fan walked over slowly. He had seen through everything. When he t Jin Xuan Ming for the first ti, he knew that he would face such a trial but he didn’t want to say it. He wanted things to happen on their own.
He knew all about these burglars.
Lin Fan wasn’t panicky at all towards these burglars. He was calm and he said to Lil’ Zhang, “Why did you run to so many places? It was so troubleso for to chase after you.”
Lil’ Zhang was stunned. “How do you know ?”
It was a difficult question to answer and Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered. He just patted the shoulder of one of the burglars. “Bro, not bad. That was how you should treat a f*cking Korean. I am impressed by your actions. Although you guys are burglars, I’ve never looked down on any profession. I am extrely happy with your case.”
The burglar that kicked Jin Xuan Ming looked at him in shock. He didn’t understand what was going on. What was this man talking about?
Even the other burglars were rooted to the ground.
They were burglars and the thing they feared most was being exposed.
Today, soone had found them but what could they even do about it? Kill him? They were just burglars, they only wanted to steal things and didn’t want to hurt anyone.
Stealing and killing soone were two different extres. They wanted to still have a good life and didn’t want to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Lin Fan ca to the lady that pretended to be pregnant and nodded. “Girl, you look decent and have good acting skills. In the future, you might want to join the acting industry and perhaps you can make a living there. However, I have to take this ‘Hundred birds’ drawing away. Of course, you guys did a great job and I can’t let you guys leave empty-handed. Why should you return sothing that you stole with your own skills? I won’t bully you guys. Here are two drawings by Yue Qiu Ju Shi and Tao Shi Gang, they’re worth four to five million dollars.”
The ‘Hundred birds’ drawing was taken away from the ‘pregnant lady’ by Lin Fan but she was handed two more drawings.
Lin Fan realized that these people were dumbfounded. They just stood rooted to the ground in silence. Then, he just helplessly left.
“Alright, we shall et again if we’re fated to,” Lin Fan said and waved.
After Lin Fan left.
The burglars recovered from their daze.
“Who is he?”
All of them stared at each other.
“I don’t know.”
“Why didn’t we speak?”
“I was afraid that there would be policen who would point their guns at us. If we were to move, we’d be shot dead.”
“Where’s the police then?”
“I don’t know...”
In the end, the burglars discussed a little longer and opened the two drawings. They smiled and their eyes lit up.
...
Lin Fan was happy after taking the artwork back. Initially, he hadn’t been bothered by the fact that his artwork had gotten stolen. However, Yue Qiu Ju Shi was extrely upset after losing the artwork and he was afraid that Yue Qiu Ju Shi would get depressed. Therefore, he ca over to trade two artworks for one.
He looked at it the sa way.
They stole it based on their abilities. There was no need to bully them.
It was a fair trade after all.
Furthermore, one of the burglars had also done a ‘good deed’ for him.
