Chapter Five: The Stolen Crystal

  The girl's figure disappeared in the forest, and the sunlight swayed, vaguely seeing two figures frolicking in the light, their bodies becoming blurred, and the laughter fading away.

  Is it a detour or a disguise? Every time, isn't it yourself who is taking a detour and disguising? The real self cannot be revealed in front of people, always wearing a fake mask everywhere.

  The sky was gloomy, as if it were going to rain. Many people stayed in the museum, making it crowded. Ge Yufeng became even more cautious, while Mu Shuqin knew he couldn't take care of himself and went to other places to wander around. She accidentally bumped into someone and hastily apologized, "Sorry." After lifting her head, she saw a man wearing sunglasses. He coldly swept his eyes over her and said in a low voice, "It's okay." Then he quickly walked away. Mu Shuqin suddenly looked down, the brief touch just now gave her another sense of danger. If her intuition was correct, it should be... a gun. Could it be... them?

  "Boom!"

  "Ahh——" A scream pierced through the crowd, Mu Shu's face sank as he stared at the chandelier on the ground. In an instant, all the other lights went out, and the entire museum was plunged into darkness. Panic set in, screams filled the air, people were running wildly, and Mu Shu was knocked around, his expression cold and stern. If this continued, a stampede would occur!

  "Don't panic! Please stand still where you are and don't move around, be careful not to get hurt."

  A discontented voice in the crowd shouted loudly, "Can't we move? Are we going to stay here and get smashed to death?" The crowd echoed in agreement.

  "It's easy to get into trouble running around in the dark, we'll get the power back on as soon as possible, please cooperate with us, otherwise if anyone gets hurt, they will be responsible for themselves." It was Ge Yu Feng's voice, he stood solemnly beside the blue gemstone crystal, which was now extremely bright and dazzling. Ge Yu Feng's eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the crystal, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

  It was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but Ge Yu Feng could clearly see human figures in the dark night. Although he couldn't see their faces, as long as someone approached him, he would immediately detect it.

  A woman stood by, watching the commotion around the crystal. Her expression turned serious, and her figure moved swiftly to the crystal's defense line. The man didn't expect someone to appear suddenly; it seemed she was there to stop him. Her gaze was sharp, and anyone who dared to block her would die! He threw a punch at her, but she caught his fist with her hand and flung it away from her arm. The man was taken aback by her strength, momentarily stunned. He launched another attack, but the woman's eyes remained cold as she watched his movements. Her slender leg swept past him like the wind, sending him tumbling towards the crystal. Today was a rare opportunity, and if he failed this time, the chances of success would be slim to none!

  The woman's eyes flashed a cold light, wasting no time, spinning around with a right kick. The man hastily dodged, cursing in his mouth: "Shit! How can you be so fast, like a ghost entwining tightly!" Just as he was about to take action, an icy feeling pressed against the back of his head.

  The man took a deep breath and calmed down, lowering his voice to ask: "Who are you, and why do you want to stop me?"

  The woman held a gun to her head with her right hand and said coldly, "Listen, if I find out you've stolen the Blue Jade Crystal again, you'll be dead..."

  The man listened to her warning, unconsciously holding his breath, and unexpectedly felt a sense of fear in his heart. Her coldness had penetrated into her bones and blood, ruthless and merciless. However, she was determined to succeed even if it meant death!

  The man's arm swung back and struck fiercely, the woman's eyes gleamed coldly as she barely parried a silver thread that pierced the man's shoulder. The man let out a pained cry, and the woman suddenly turned around, a heavy fist wind came crashing down, the woman's hands clasped together to barely block it but also retreated several steps before stabilizing her figure. However, the man had already disappeared. She furrowed her brow tightly, feeling something was off, her pupils constricted, and she lightly touched her earlobe, calling out softly, "Qin, go stop the others."

  "Having said that, he quickly ran towards the crystal," Bang! "was the sound of shattering glass.

  A woman's eyes released a murderous intent, Ge Yu Feng heard the sound of shattering glass and instantly reacted, pulling down on the crystal thread, pulling down a man who kicked at him with one foot. Ge Yu Feng punched his left fist into the man's chest, forcing him back several steps. The man had murder in his heart, drawing out a gun to shoot him dead, but Ge Yu Feng also quickly drew out a gun and pressed it against the man's temple.

  The two men didn't give an inch, and as they stood there frozen, the woman quickly moved behind them, throwing a piece of cloth to cover up the glow of the Blue Jade Crystal. In an instant, the surroundings were plunged into darkness, and the pendant lamp hadn't been fixed yet. As the situation grew more precarious, neither Gu Yuefeng nor the man knew what the other was capable of, and they both let out a startled cry, not having expected that there were others who also wanted to get their hands on the crystal.

  Taking advantage of his daze, Ge Yufeng's hand moved like a knife, quickly slashing at the opponent's neck and knocking him out. Then, he sidestepped, holding his gun with both hands as he swept it through the darkness. Although he couldn't see clearly, his hearing was extremely sharp, and the woman was standing silently beside the shattered glass, reaching out to take something when Ge Yufeng grabbed her wrist with one hand and pulled the cloth lightly with the other, causing a shallow blue glow to burst forth once more. The opponent was very agile, slipping away like a snake, leaving Ge Yufeng shocked in his heart - it was actually a woman!

  Ge Yu Feng's hand reached out towards the crystal, but the woman blocked it and bent her right knee to deliver a vicious kick to his abdomen. Ge Yu Feng groaned in pain, but his hand didn't stop moving. "Who are you? Why do you want to steal the Blue Jade Crystal so badly that you're willing to risk everything?"

  The woman didn't make a sound, furrowing her brow as she listened to his pressing questions. She pursed her lips and said in a cold voice: "Who I am is not important, but the Blue Jade Gemstone Crystal is not as simple as you think it is. If we leave it here, they will definitely come back to steal it again. I absolutely won't let them snatch the crystal away!"

  Ge Yufeng's body trembled slightly as he listened to her cold voice. It was so chilly, but what did she mean by what she said? Could it be that she wasn't in cahoots with the person from before? As he stood there dazed, a dazzling glint of glass shards shot into his eyes, forcing him to close them momentarily. When he opened them again, the crystal was already gone, taken away by the woman. He stood rooted to the spot, his face darkening.

  With a "hum", the light illuminated the entire museum, and Musu Zhen didn't adapt to the sudden bright light that pierced his eyes, squinting until he got used to it. Then he saw Ge Yu Feng standing still in front of him, looking at the scattered glass fragments on the ground and the disappeared blue jade crystal, and then looking at his dark face that was almost dripping with water, he knew what had happened.

  "Mu Shu slowly walked up to him, 'What's wrong? How did the crystal get stolen?' As soon as she finished speaking, her eyebrows furrowed under his gaze. Ge Yu Feng turned his head, his face cold, and stared tightly at her eyes, trying to see what kind of person she was, 'Where have you just been.'"

  Musu's face didn't look good either, what tone was this, and he was a bit angry, his tone was a bit sharp: "Where I go is none of your business! Besides, it's raining heavily outside and the sky is gloomy, where can you still go? Moreover, standing in the dark without moving to one side, aren't you afraid of being trampled to death?"

  Seeing her furious face, Ge Yufeng calmed down and apologetically said, "Sorry." Mu Shuqin heard that he didn't have a sincere apology, so she coldly snorted.

  The Blue Jade Crystal went missing, Ge Yu Feng lost his job and was criticized by the leader. Although he was only temporarily in charge here and it wasn't under his jurisdiction, he was asked to investigate who stole it. The disappearance of the Blue Jade Crystal instantly shocked the nation.

  Ge Yufeng wouldn't let Mu Shuqin leave alone, still staring at her intensely. Mu Shuqin's face turned black with anger as she shouted: "What do you want to do?! Don't you know it's late?!"

  "Uh-huh." Then he got in the car and started the engine, "Get in, I'll give you a ride home."

  Mushen took a deep breath, telling himself to calm down in his heart. He was scolded and must have felt uncomfortable, so it's inevitable that he spoke more seriously. But why did he have to vent his anger on me?! As soon as he thought about this, the fire that had just been suppressed suddenly flared up again, reaching his throat!

  Mu Shu got off the car and quickly walked towards home, but why did he have to follow himself? Can't bear it anymore!

  He suddenly turned around, possibly using too much force and stumbled almost falling over. He took a deep breath and shouted: "What do you want to do? Don't forget that you are a police officer, now this is considered an infringement of human rights! If you have something to say, just say it straight out! What's the meaning of this!"

  Kazuki was taken aback by her sudden movement, and couldn't help but laugh at how she almost fell over from spinning around too quickly. He was then bombarded with a string of angry words that left him stunned, this being the first time he'd seen her get mad. "Ah, now you're acting like a high school student," he thought to himself. A smile spreading across his face, he said, "I'm not doing anything wrong, I said I'd protect you so I have to live somewhere close to your house."

  Mu Shu bit his lower lip, furrowed his brow and turned around, too lazy to bother with him, went upstairs, and finally let out a sigh of relief when he reached the door of his home, thinking that he wouldn't follow him in.

  As soon as she took out the key, her mouth and eyes twitched slightly. She glanced to the right and saw Ge Yu Feng walking to the door next to hers, taking out a key and pretending to unlock it. Under her wide-eyed gaze, he opened the door and turned around to say, "Come in and take a look."

  Before she could even respond, he pulled her in. Musu also didn't bother to struggle, not to mention whether she could beat him or not, but she couldn't keep hiding from him either, it was bound to be resolved sooner or later, what a hassle! Being treated as a suspect was infuriating!

  The layout is good, the decorations are very ordinary, it's spacious and quiet, she sits on the sofa without ceremony, with her legs raised and holding her phone to look at it. Ge Yu Feng glanced at her movements and poured a cup of water onto the coffee table.

  "You have some suspicion."

  "Hmm." You're really getting straight to the point, aren't you? I rolled my eyes at that. You've never relaxed around me for even a second, have you, always treating me like a suspect.

  She thought so in her heart, but her expression remained calm. "And then?" Ge Yu Feng looked at her and said: "Can you take off the coat on your body?"

  Mushu Qi's breathing paused, and she stared at him coldly without speaking. Ge Yu Feng explained, "To prove you're not suspicious, there must be no Blue Jade Crystal on your body; it has to be this way."

  Mu Shu sighed and said helplessly, "Are you sure you're a cop and not a thug?" He had been in his line of sight all along, but it was also possible that he had hidden it after picking it up. Who would be so stupid to put something on their body? What's the point of that? Ge Yu Feng raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

  Musu Jie let him turn on the air conditioner in the room, freezing to death, and took off his outerwear. Ge Yu Feng saw that she was wearing a sleepwear directly inside her clothes, with several black lines slipping down from her head, and said sorry after a glance, letting her rest early.

  He quickly got dressed and left for his own home with a poker face. Ge Yu Feng sat on the sofa, hunched over, with his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped together to support his head, muttering: "No, could it really not be her?"

  In the fight, he must have scratched that woman's hand. Although he didn't know where, but he was certain she got a little hurt, it's impossible to leave no mark at all. Ugh, his lower abdomen hurts like hell, that woman's moves might be even better than his, her actions were so ruthless.

  In the room, Mushu lay on the bed and raised his left hand upwards. Under the light, he shook it a few times and tore off a piece of adhesive tape from his palm. On his palm was a small wound, which was cut by glass fragments when they were fighting for the crystal. He should have known, but I didn't know where exactly to take off my clothes.

  "Hello, Yuexin. Yeah, just leave the blue crystal in that place, okay? It's not like it's easy to catch people from the organization. And I'm being watched closely by the police, so for this period of time, I won't be contacting you, don't contact me either."

  After hanging up the phone, his right arm was placed on his forehead, looking at the dazzling light and saying in a low voice, "I don't know how his lower abdomen is doing, I didn't relax my strength, who made him always obstruct my actions."
