Chapter 1
Chapter 1: No boyfriend? It's a pity.
‘Ladies and gentlemen, according to meteorological satellites, several super-giant cold air masses have appeared on the Sky Blue Star.
In the next hour, there will be heavy rain or heavy rainstorms throughout Daxia.
Please take precautionary measures against flooding for the residents of Nanjiang City.’
Three o'clock in the morning.
The lights were on in the Gnawed Chicken restaurant, and emergency news was playing on the TV.
Bwahahahaha!
Cheng Tao was focused and was slowly gnawing on an Orleans fried chicken leg.
When the bone was cleaner than a dog licking it, a look of satisfaction finally appeared on his face.
After smacking his mouth and reminiscing for a while.
Cheng Tao raised his eyelids and his gaze rested on the woman opposite him.
‘Beautiful woman, I consulted Lawyer Zhang San online, he said that a case like mine should be a life sentence, is there any way to make it lighter?’
‘I am Nanjiang City Police negotiator Xia Yu, if you are willing to cooperate and promise not to harm the hostages, the police can provide evidence in your favour.’
Xia Yu held up her glasses with a wisp of curiosity.
She had seen a lot of criminals, but the Cheng Tao in front of her did not look much like him in terms of temperament, looks, and feeling.
The other party showed a calmness and spontaneity beyond the norm.
As a criminal expert of the police, she could tell that this was not a disguise on the other side, it was truly resistant.
Also.
Why did the other party actually look at her with a hint of regret in her eyes?
‘Huh.’
Cheng Tao laughed out softly.
Through the glass, he saw more than twenty police cars, big and small, and hundreds of SWAT officers with assault rifles in the restaurant plaza.
‘It's so uncomfortable to chat with a beautiful woman like you with your clothes on.’ Cheng Tao finished speaking and turned to look at the centre of the restaurant.
A dozen hostages were shivering and huddled together.
Cheng Tao pointed to a girl in the crowd, ‘Yes, that's the fat girl, it's too rare for you, you can go now.’
The girl froze for a moment and then surprised herself by untying the backpack on her body and running out furiously towards the entrance of the restaurant.
Two SWAT officers outside the square quickly greeted the girl and took her away.
Cheng Tao shrugged towards Xia Yu, ‘I released one of the hostages, the sincerity is there, so, you guys don't have to rush.’
This was followed by a slow drink of ice-cold cola.
‘Cheng Tao, I thank for the girl, I can tell you are a kind person, can you tell your story?
I will be a good listener.’
Xia Yu asked with a curious face.
The profile showed that the other party was a deliveryman.
There was a handsome face that did not lose to those trainees, and he could still talk and laugh in the face of hundreds of police guns, yet he spoke rudely.
Could it be schizophrenic?
‘Kindness?’
Hearing the other party's words, Cheng Tao froze a little for a moment.
Then he shook his head mockingly, ‘Miss Xia, how much do you know about me?’
‘Cheng Tao, your parents divorced when you were young, it was your grandmother who brought you up, and after graduating from high school, you've been making a living by delivering takeaways.
A year ago, your grandmother passed away after a long illness.
Filial piety, kindness, and helpfulness, this is what all the people who know you say about you.
And you borrowed more than 3 million from various platforms.
Can you tell me what happened?’
After Xia Yu finished speaking, his eyes burned as he stared at Cheng Tao.
On his young face, his pair of eyes carried the vicissitudes of being full of years.
A very contradictory feeling.
This was a person with a story, Xia Yu was sure and interested.
Cheng Tao sniffed and raised his eyebrows, ‘Guess?’
‘Terminal illness!’
Xia Yu responded two words forcefully.
‘Heh heh.’
‘Hahaha!’
Cheng Tao turned from a light smile to a loud laugh, his right hand gently slapping the table.
‘Those things I stole, I won't be able to use them up in ten lifetimes, you say, if it's a terminal illness? What's the significance to me? Eat your heart out?’
‘Well, I apologise for the not-so-lucrative conjecture earlier, so to change the subject, how did you do it?’
At this time.
Xia Yu took out an ipai.
In the video, a man wearing a duck-tongued cap and a mask dressed tightly walked slowly through a deserted Walmart supermarket in the early hours of the morning.
Wherever his hands touched.
Piles of goods in the supermarket disappeared in the blink of an eye.
One by one, the videos crossed.
All of them were surveillance images of stealing countless supplies with a single touch.
No, to be precise, it was carrying them all away.
Several major supermarket chains teamed up to offer the Daxia police a thirty million dollar reward.
Wal-Mart, Metro, Sam's, Hualian, ParknShop, Isetan--
Meat factories, canneries, instant noodle factories, machinery factories, pharmacies, flour mills, distilleries.
Vegetable warehouses, engineering machinery, precision instruments, garment factories, fuel warehouses, seed companies, ------
See what to grab what.
As small as socks, as big as excavators.
This makes the police suspect that this mysterious person is not want to go abroad to buy an island, their own establishment of the country.
Until today, under the police countless people working around the clock.
Finally blocked the mystery man in the Walmart supermarket in Nanjiang.
Xia Yu was not interested in the prize money.
She desperately wanted to know how Cheng Tao managed to empty a supermarket in one stroll.
Cheng Tao looked at the video and slapped his forehead in chagrin, ‘This is just an ordinary blindfold technique, which can be understood as magic.
By the way, how did you guys find me?’
‘The police placed locators in the goods of the Walmart supermarket, and just yesterday, the locators sent out a short signal.
The location of the signal came from the Nanjiang Longting International Hotel.
We found a used condom in the hotel's standard room, and its merchandise lot number came from the Wal-Mart supermarket that was robbed.’
Magic?
Xia Yu was sceptical, when did magic become so advanced?
And, if a person had such great magic, would they still need to deliver? Some bullshit.
‘Ugh!’ Cheng Tao sighed.
‘Careless, that girl yesterday was good, it might be hard to meet such a girl in the future.
You guys don't give her a hard time, and by the way, help me file a complaint.
A five-star hotel actually doesn't provide free condoms, bad review.’
Speaking of which.
Cheng Tao poured down a large mouthful of cola and continued, ‘Hey, forget it, it's all going to f*****g flop, what's the point of complaining.’
This self-talking words.
It made Xia Yu's eyebrows jump twice.
The other party understood every word, but just didn't understand the meaning of the words.
Thoughts flashed by quickly.
Puffer? She had only heard of writing novels before talking about pouncing.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt sounded in the air.
Cheng Tao got up and came to the glass window.
Staring blankly at the sky, he was oblivious to the hundreds of red dots swaying in front of his chest.
‘Is it finally here?’
A low murmur rang out from his mouth.
Xia Yu got up, his gaze implicitly swept over the bomb controller in his hand, and slowly walked over.
‘What's coming?’ Xia Yu was next to him without a trace.
Cheng Tao turned his head.
With a complex look in his eyes, he looked back and forth on Xia Yu's face with light make-up.
‘Do you have a boyfriend?’
‘No?’
‘Virgin?’
Xia Yu paused slightly and nodded generously, ‘Virgin.’
‘Alas!’
Cheng Tao sighed, ‘It's a pity!’
