“Someone mentioned me?” Yun Xiangxiang knew who it was. “The security guy.”
It was the man she bumped into in the corridor. Except for him, Yun Xiangxiang had never met a single one of the other members.
“Yes. He knew their failure had something to do with you. He looked weird when he mentioned you.”
Yun Xiangxiang ruminated about that. She could guess what Captain Luo was saying.
Captain Luo gave her a document. “Ten years ago, there was an armed jewelry heist. It was a damning sight. The robbers were meticulous, and they escaped us. The same thing happened a few more times after that, only more refined, and more people were involved…”
Yun Xiangxiang read through the cases. Similar heists happened four times in ten years. After the first case, the next one was four years ago, and the third one was a year ago.
As she went through the analysis and the pictures, even an amateur like Yun Xiangxiang could see that the same people were involved in those cases.
They seemed to be only targeting jewelry. Their members seemed to increase with each case, and the way they did it became more comprehensive with time.
Their style, which emphasized the element of surprise, was similar to the ones they caught this time.
With Yun Xiangxiang involved, it was reasonable to suspect these guys colluded with those in the past.
“If my guess is correct, these people must be following the jewelry world’s every move. The man who mentioned you must have heard about you from these guys in the files. They already have their eyes on your stone.”
“I’ve already sold my stone,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t hesitate.
Captain Luo smiled, “Miss Yun, you might’ve been able to fool the public, but those criminals? You aren’t fooling them.”
If Yun Xiangxiang didn’t get involved in this case, Captain Luo would have thought she sold the stone too. But when he pieced everything together, he understood that Yun Xiangxiang had reached an agreement with MonRoe to shift the public eye off her.
Yun Xiangxiang’s heart sank. The jadeite was a dangerous item. She didn’t ask MonRoe to pretend to take the jadeite precisely because she knew the public wouldn’t dig that deep.
She needed the products as soon as possible. She had only gone to MonRoe’s Shanghai branch once when Song Qian came.
It was just a show. She didn’t expect them to set their eyes on her this soon. They didn’t attack her yet because they wouldn’t make a move with an incomplete plan.
“I think you guys can try getting the unedited footage of “A Gathering of Shows.”” They must have set their eyes on her back in the old town.
One of them must have been in the old town that day. Since he needed to keep his eyes on her, he must have left some traces.
The cameraman followed her all day. Yun Xiangxiang knew he must have appeared on camera.
“Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Yun. I will get someone to investigate,” Captain Luo nodded. “But, the priority here is your safety.”
“You want me to hand over the jadeite to set up a trap,” Yun Xiangxiang could guess what he was thinking.
Captain Luo smiled formally.
“I can give it to you. But if I lost it because of this, who would compensate me for my loss?” She asked.

It might be something she had gotten for a mere one hundred yuan. It might be affecting her adversely, but she needed it to make a special gift for Song Mian. She didn’t want to lose it.
They might have been captured, but Yun Xiangxiang felt that the group behind them was confident. It was evident from how adamant the captured were in keeping it a secret. They wouldn’t think that their little plan was already known.
They had blood on their hands. The police might also have someone watching their families.
Thanks to “Flying Sky,” Yun Xiangxiang did her research on criminal groups. They would prepare an initiation rite for every newbie they trained.
The initiation rite was just giving them a minor mission, which was easy to complete. The captured men were probably doing their initiation mission.
It had not been long since she was revealed to possess the stone. If the guy knew her and the jadeite through the group, they still maintained contact.
Yun Xiangxiang was their target in their first place. Now they lost some newbies because of her. She might have angered them. They might even plan on taking her out to regain their honor.
“Miss Yun. You’re in danger. You need to protect yourself,” Captain Luo emphasized.
“Captain Luo, since you know where I got my sources, you should know that I am not afraid of this level of danger,” Yun Xiangxiang was unafraid. “I believe that I have someone capable of protecting me.”
She paused before saying, “If the criminal group that has been at large for ten years were to be destroyed by someone else, you guys might feel embarrassed.”
Captain Luo gave Yun Xiangxiang two thumbs up, “As expected of a top student. I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think I can bear the responsibility if you lose your stone.”
It was a priceless, fragile treasure. If it broke somewhere along the way…
“But you already know I am in danger. You have the responsibility to protect me,” she smiled.
“I don’t think you want to let everyone know that you didn’t sell the jadeite, Miss Yun. Especially not your fans. It won’t look good on you,” Captain Luo finally made a hit. “I think we can come up with a better way.”
Yun Xiangxiang kept quiet as she turned on her phone to look at the time. “I still have work to do. Give me some time to think about it. I’ll get back to you tomorrow.”
“Do you need someone to protect you?” Captain Luo didn’t ask her to stay. Instead, he made a warm offer.
Yun Xiangxiang shook her head, “I have someone protecting me already.”
“I called some friends over to keep you safe,” He Wei drove her back after their trip to the station.
The summer’s afternoon sun shone upon the glass window. It was glaring.
Yun Xiangxiang stared blankly at the passing scenery, not making a sound.
Criminals didn’t rest, but she would have to. The best way was to help the police destroy the group no matter what.
“Brother Wei, take me home.” Yun Xiangxiang decided.
The jadeite was indeed rare. Because of that, many eyes were set on it.
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t send this hazard to MonRoe when she knew someone was after it.
The only option left was to hand it over to the police and let them do their job. Whether it would remain intact was up to fate.
She couldn’t put herself and her family in harm’s way for a jadeite.
