The jewelry exhibition had already begun, and those elite big shots from the business world, along with the aristocrats, had entered the venue and taken their seats. Although the venue wasn't silent, it wasn't noisy either; everyone was merely whispering softly.

Lin Fei keenly sensed something and saw it. His gaze made him feel that some attendees were not simply here for the jewelry exhibition, and if they weren't here for the exhibition, their purpose was evident.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei wanted to inform Chen Qi of this news, but he looked around and couldn't find Chen Qi's figure.

At this moment, the jewelry exhibition officially began, and the lights within the venue turned dazzlingly colorful. Finally, the host took the stage.

The precious jewelry participating in the exhibition was to be introduced one by one by the host and couldn't be placed in the ordinary jewelry section for spectators to view.

"Where have you been?" Mu Shanshan asked as she saw Lin Fei just arriving.

"It's nothing, met a friend and chatted for a while," Lin Fei casually replied, then reminded Mu Shanshan to be careful, and informed her of the situation he encountered.

Mu Shanshan, being so smart, immediately sensed something was wrong, but after some thought, she decided to ignore it for the time being. After all, they had no evidence, and speaking without proof could lead to them being seen as disrupting the exhibition, potentially getting them kicked out.

"I seemed to see you with a female police officer just now."

Lin Fei hesitated for a moment, not expecting Mu Shanshan to have seen them, and awkwardly smiled, saying, "She is the friend I mentioned."

"And you haven't informed her about what's going on here?" Mu Shanshan's tone was slightly cold. She didn't like to control Lin Fei but also disliked her husband flirting with others; Mu Shanshan was like any ordinary woman in this regard.

"I can't find her," Lin Fei said, noticing Mu Shanshan's icy expression, he quickly added, "Hehe, she's part of security here, should be able to figure it out."

Mu Shanshan snorted coldly and said, "You should go to the security room and mention it."

After saying that, Mu Shanshan ceased whispering with Lin Fei. However, Lin Fei thought Mu Shanshan's suggestion was wise. Just as he stood up, suddenly the lights in the room abruptly went out, plunging the entire hall into darkness.

This is bad!

Lin Fei did not expect them to act so quickly. Although the surroundings were dark, the scene was very quiet, with everyone thinking it was part of the jewelry exhibition's prelude.

At this moment, Lin Fei hurriedly grabbed Mu Shanshan's hand, preparing to take her to a safe place.

But contrary to expectations, a loud crashing and banging suddenly erupted inside the room. Everyone then understood that the lights going out weren't part of the exhibition but rather a sudden incident.

The entire jewelry exhibition immediately fell into chaos and panic. At this instant, the door to the showroom was suddenly locked, and someone holding a strong flashlight walked toward the stage, simultaneously holding a gun and shouting at the crowd: "Nobody move, or I can't guarantee your lives belong to you anymore!"

Lin Fei immediately recognized one of the two intruders. The other was someone he was familiar with, a middle-aged man whom Lin Fei had punched on a plane.

Both of them held guns in their hands. Under their intimidation, the once dignified elites and noble attendees were as frightened as startled mice, obediently staying quiet.

Lin Fei signaled Mu Shanshan to stay seated and not move, warning that standing out could mean certain death.

"Watch these elites, if any of them thinks their status grants them safety, reward them with a bullet!" he instructed the middle-aged man beside him.

"Alright, boss, hehe, if anyone dares move, I'll send them to reincarnate—next life certainly won't be as comfortable as this one," the middle-aged man added threateningly.

The companion's words clearly worked. Every one of the people present was an elite and incomparable to mere civilians. Some were born into wealth, others worked their way up; they cherished their current life more than ordinary people.

Thus, everyone in the venue simply watched the stage blankly, as if watching a movie, observing the scene unfold onstage as the precious jewelry was stuffed into black bags without anyone daring to utter a sound.

Meanwhile, the exhibition's commentator was there with his head in his arms, trembling on stage. He glanced at the former industry elites and was booted off the stage with a kick, rolling to one side.

"Boss, look, who is that?!"

The middle-aged man guarding the crowd suddenly shouted, simultaneously pointing a finger at the people.

Turning his gaze, he noticed Lin Fei among the crowd. He furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "Don't stir trouble for me. Once the job is done, you can deal with him however you want."

With a cruel smile, the middle-aged man replied, "Then hurry up, boss, I can't wait. Once we're done, I'm going to kill that brat."

"Useless fool," came the muttered curse as his hands sped up.

Lin Fei felt that this was not right; if things continued this way, the consequences would be unthinkable. After all, he wasn't alone; Mu Shanshan was right beside him.

At this moment, Lin Fei's phone suddenly vibrated. He had set it to silent mode, and it was an old Nokia phone, so its light wasn't bright.

Cautiously, he took out the phone and found a text message from Chen Qi.

"Lin Fei, our team is arriving soon, try to delay them."

Seeing this message, Lin Fei instantly understood; it seems Chen Qi and his team were already infiltrating the venue. As he looked around, he finally spotted Chen Qi's figure in an inconspicuous corner.

At this moment, Chen Qi had changed into another set of clothes; her sexy shoulders were exposed. If not for the urgent situation, Lin Fei would've wished to embrace her immediately and cherish her.

"Hey! Kid, what are you looking at!" the middle-aged brute had been keeping an eye on Lin Fei, anxious to quickly avenge his dishonor.

Lin Fei sneered, pretending to be arrogant, "You're a defeated foe. I knew you were up to no good on the plane; little did I expect you'd turn out to be a jewel thief."

"Who are you calling a defeated foe! Damn you for ambushing me; do you believe I'll shoot you now!" the middle-aged brute shouted angrily, aiming the gun at Lin Fei.

Yet Lin Fei was not afraid; he recognized the gun in the hands of the middle-aged brute. It was an M8 pistol made by the Wright Brothers with an effective range of fifty meters. He had long become a battlefield king through experience.

This type of gun may be a life-reaping scythe for ordinary people, but for someone like Lin Fei, it wasn't terrifying, given the distance between them, sufficient for him to dodge a speeding bullet.

"Without ability, all you can rely on is the gun in your hand," Lin Fei mocked.
