How could he have allowed her to come and steal things over and over again.
She looked at him, doubt flashing through her beautiful eyes, "Tao Hua, you couldn’t possibly be falling for me, could you?"
"No, I’m just interested in you."
"Isn’t that the same thing?"
"Of course not," Tao Hua smiled, "My interest in you is like that towards a lab rat undergoing experiments. You know, life as a researcher is so boring and dull. Finding something interesting is not easy. And I really enjoy matching wits with you; it’s very interesting."
Annie was speechless.
This guy actually treated her as a source of entertainment.
"No wonder the drugs you research are all so twisted, you’ve become twisted from boredom!"
Tao Hua laughed appreciatively, "Thank you for the compliment."
This man had such thick skin!
"If I tell you who sent me, will you really let me go?" Annie asked uncertainly.
Tao Hua nodded, "Rest assured, I won’t deceive you. But if you don’t spill the beans, later when people come and they take you away, they will also have ways to make you talk."
"I still don’t understand. Why would you let me go so easily? Aren’t you afraid I’ll leave and come back to steal again?"
"Ah, I’m actually waiting for you to come back and steal! If you don’t come, life would be so boring for me!"
This world really does have all sorts of odd characters.
Annie was sure he wasn’t lying and nodded, "Alright, I’ll tell you."
In a living room, Rong Shaoze and Xu Yao stood with their arms crossed, watching Tao Hua coldly.
He let Annie go again!
Did he even know what he was doing?!
Tao Hua raised his hands in surrender, smiling, "Don’t look at me with that kind of gaze, I also released her because life is too boring, and I wanted to create some fun for myself."
Xu Yao snorted coldly, not in the least interested in wasting words with him.
Rong Shaoze asked indifferently, "What did you find out?"
Tao Hua hurriedly confessed, hoping for leniency, "Did you know, Annie really is the ’Spade Thief.’ Because of her reputation as a master thief, someone hired her to steal T5, and the first time she did it with ease, not knowing it was a failure. After that, I was on guard, watching out for her everywhere, and she never succeeded. Ha-ha, you have no idea, she said she has never botched a theft, but she has failed against me repeatedly. She worried that if others found out, her reputation as a master thief would be ruined, ha-ha..."
"Get to the point!" Rong Shaoze gritted his teeth; they already knew Annie was a master thief, what was there for him to brag about!
Tao Hua quickly quieted his laughter and said earnestly, "She said she doesn’t know who hired her, but after some investigation, it seems like the people are from Japan. The other party is very secretive and very powerful; she couldn’t find anything else."
"Japan?" Rong Shaoze’s eyes narrowed slightly, "There seems to be some movements there, a rising force, but we don’t know who they are."
Looking at Xu Yao, he instructed, "Go check it out, see what their identity is. If their aim is only T5, that’s fine, but if there’s more, we need to prepare early."
"Mm. I got it. But, are we certain what Annie said is true?" Xu Yao raised a doubt.
Tao Hua hurriedly said, "It must be true. She has no reason to lie to us, besides, we all know her background, she’s just a simple master thief."
