Chapter 250: [250] Are you doubting my strength?_1
Wang Xiaodao had run out of patience and made things clear to Xu Hongyuan.
Xu Hongyuan’s brow furrowed.
If it were anyone else speaking to him in that tone, he would have cursed them out without hesitation.
But, after all, the person before him was the expensive help he’d hired, so he had to show some consideration.
However, Wang Xiaodao did make a good point.
Among the final suspects that he had identified, there was Qin Yanan.
And coincidentally, Wang Xiaodao’s investigation also led to Qin Yanan.
When putting two and two together, it was almost certain that the bracelet was in Qin Yanan’s hands.
It seemed that he had indeed been overly suspicious.
“Then Mr. Wang, please do as you see fit, but still be cautious to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
“Are you doubting my abilities, Mr. Xu?”
“Hahaha, how could I possibly? Since I’ve hired Mr. Wang at a high price, naturally, I trust you.”
“Mr. Xu, wait for my good news.”
After another remark, Wang Xiaodao hung up the phone impatiently.
Clutching the phone, Xu Hongyuan’s gaze was shifty, and it was unclear what he was pondering.
“Mr. Xu, do you have any instructions?” Zhao Huaqiang asked cautiously.
Xu Hongyuan snapped back to reality and looked up at him, “Huaqiang, take your men now and watch the house rented by Wang Xiaodao.”
“You mean to have us keep lookout for him?”
“No, I want you to surveil him.”
“Surveil?” Zhao Huaqiang was somewhat puzzled.
“Human hearts are inscrutable; the bracelet is worth thirty million, who knows if he’ll take it and make a run for it?” Xu Hongyuan said ominously.
Zhao Huaqiang immediately caught on, “I understand, Mr. Xu, I’ll take my men over there right now.”
After he spoke, he left briskly.
Xu Hongyuan picked up Qin Yanan’s file from the table, a trace of joy on his face.
“Much effort may seem wasted when without trying, the sought-after comes.”
…
Wang Xiaodao returned to his room, changed into shoes a size larger, then put on a pair of white gloves and went out the door.
But he did not go straight to Tang Feng’s room; instead, he first went to turn off the circuit breaker of the entire self-built building.
Once the breaker was off, the cameras of the whole self-built building were disabled as well.
After completing these tasks, he tiptoed to the door of Tang Feng’s room.
He straightened the piece of wire coiled around his index finger and poked it into the keyhole a few times.
“Click!”
The lock opened with a response.
This lock-picking technique, which seemed technical to others, was a piece of cake for him.
He pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
First, he prioritized all the places in the room where something could be hidden.
Then he started searching through the most likely places—the drawers, the wardrobe, and so on.
His search was not random; after searching each spot, he made sure to put everything back exactly as it had been, leaving no trace of his intrusion.
This was why he had never been caught in the many years he had been stealing.
Because after most thefts, it would take a while for the victim to notice anything was missing.
And by the time they did, enough time had passed that any investigation would be impossible.
However, after he had turned Tang Feng’s house upside down and still found no trace of the bracelet, he frowned.
Was that kid deceiving him?
With that doubt in mind, he scanned the room one more time, when his gaze eventually locked onto the washing machine.
When he lifted the lid, he indeed found a wooden box inside.
The wooden box was made of fragrant rosewood and was exquisitely carved.
The box alone was worth several thousand, indicating that its contents were not ordinary.
His heart leaped with joy, and he hastily took out the box, ready to open it and check inside.
At that moment, he suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Startled, he quickly pressed his ear against the wall to listen to the noises outside.
The footsteps soon faded away.
But not daring to stay any longer, he quickly put the box in his pocket and covered the washing machine lid again.
However, when he pulled open the door, ready to leave,
He realized that a group of people was already standing outside.
Qin Yanan was at the forefront, and behind her followed a dozen men in black suits and sunglasses, each exuding a dangerous aura.
“What are you doing here?” Qin Yanan, with hands akimbo, stared at him intensely.
“I…”
Wang Xiaodao suddenly backed away, trying to close the door.
But the men accompanying Qin Yanan were not to be trifled with either.
One of them kicked the door open, and a man rushed in.
Wang Xiaodao, rather than retreating, grabbed the man’s arm and pulled forcefully, delivering an elbow smash to his chin.
“Bang!”
The man didn’t even let out a cry before he passed out, and then Wang Xiaodao kicked him into the group of people rushing in.
Wang Xiaodao didn’t hesitate; he turned and rushed towards the window.
But before he could jump out, someone came racing over and grabbed hold of his clothes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wang Xiaodao had no choice but to turn and fight again.
Becoming known as the Thief King of Gan Province wasn’t solely due to his top-notch thieving skills; his self-defense skills were also formidable, and taking on ten or eight agile brawlers was no problem for him.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The men who charged at him couldn’t last three moves before being thrown by him.
In no time, he had turned Tang Feng’s room into a complete mess.
Qin Yanan, standing at the back, turned pale.
These men were bodyguards sent by her family to ensure her safety.
She had thought that capturing a small-time thief would be easy for them.
But she never imagined that Wang Xiaodao would be so fierce.
Not one of them stood a chance against him.
In just over a minute, half of the men she brought were down and injured.
Qin Yanan’s face turned pale as she turned to run away.
But Wang Xiaodao had no intention of troubling her, and after repelling another bodyguard, he turned and jumped out the window.
Qin Yanan’s mouth dropped open in shock.
This was the third floor, almost ten meters off the ground.
Was this guy crazy?
