Pei Yao and Beitang Lie were also with Chi Jiao. Pei Yao whispered into Chi Jiao’s ear, “Jiaojiao, Old Mr. Mo is celebrating his birthday tonight. They’re preparing for their guests. They probably didn’t expect us to suddenly turn up.”
Chi Jiao nodded and smiled. “Isn’t this a good opportunity? If I were Zou Xingxing, I would take action tonight.”
There were many people at the banquet. Zou Xingxing could pretend to be someone else. Wouldn’t it be easy for her to sneak in?
“But our operation isn’t that covert this time. Zou Xingxing is so cunning. She might have already discovered our plan.” Beitang Lie looked around and saw many police officers present. He believed that Zou Xingxing must have sensed their arrival.
“From what Zhang Chuan said, that mysterious old man must get the Qilin jade no matter what. Zou Xingxing is no match for him. Instead of angering that old man, she would rather go against us, the police. After all, compared to that old man, she’s not afraid of us. She’s an outlaw. There are times when she can’t choose,” Chi Jiao said.
“Jiaojiao is right. Zou Xingxing is extremely proud. She will definitely come over and give it a try. Even if she doesn’t succeed, she can wear down our numbers. She won’t let go of such a good opportunity. She would likely take the gamble,” Pei Yao added.
Beitang Lie looked at her in surprise and smiled. “Alright, then we’ll wait for Zou Xingxing to come knocking on our door!”
Huo Chen looked at the silver-haired old man sitting on the sofa. He smiled and greeted him. “You must be Old Mr. Mo? Hello, I’m Huo Chen.”
“Chief Officer Chen has already told me what is happening. Officer Huo, are you sure that the thief will really come?” Old Master Mo asked nervously, his eyes filled with uneasiness.
Huo Chen nodded firmly. “Yes, I can confirm that. Old Mr. Mo, may I know where the Qilin Jade is? Can you let us have a look?”
“I have the jade right here.” The woman beside Old Mr. Mo stood up.
The woman had an oriental charm about her. She was wearing an ink-blue cheongsam and holding a white cat with dual-colored eyes in her arms. It was Old Mr. Mo’s younger daughter, Mo Yun.
Mo Yun gently placed the cat on the sofa and drew out a necklace inlaid with multiple jade pieces from around her neck. Every single piece of jade was perfect without a single blemish. At the bottom of the necklace was a piece of white jade in the shape of a Qilin. It was perfect and suffused with a lustrous luster. It was obvious that it was an extremely rare top-grade jade.
Chi Jiao had seen many fine things in life. In her opinion, the jade in Mo Yun’s hand was a top-tier good. No wonder it was the Mo family’s heirloom.
“Yes, you can tell that it’s a rare good item just by looking at it. No wonder it’s being targeted by criminals.” Chief Officer Chen stood at the side. He pondered for a moment before asking Huo Chen’s opinion. “Officer Huo, I’ve already received news from my superior. My superior wants me to cooperate with you. I wonder what you need me to do, specifically?”
Huo Chen replied with a smile, “We have brought enough manpower. We will make the arrangements ourselves. This time, the criminal is not just a petty thief. She has other charges on her.. Our superior wants us to capture this criminal alive, as much as possible, so we have to be careful.”
