Bai Chi quickly got to work, nimbly moving between different locations on the first floor while avoiding any potential unwanted advances.
In addition, Bai Chi also had to observe the guests present, especially those wearing expensive jewelry and watches, as well as the people around them.
The only thing all the burglary victims had in common was that they had been to this bar the night before the burglary.
However, according to their statements, they did not make any new friends, nor did anyone inquire about their address; at most, they were approached by some people.
However, according to the surveillance footage, none of the men and women who approached the suspects were involved in the theft case.
So the only possibility now is that the suspect didn't approach anyone; he may have just randomly picked someone from the crowd who looked financially well-off, followed them, and then committed the burglary.
This makes the search much more difficult.
Fortunately, Bai Chi had two partners. Both of them were prepared with outfits and were positioned at opposite ends of the bar to see if they would become targets of the suspect.
Bai Chi was the most handsome, and being a new recruit in the police station, he was able to disguise himself as a waiter and move around to observe the other people present.
However, so far, Bai Chi has not encountered any suspicious persons.
Bai Chi found no suspicious persons, and Xiao Hei made no progress either.
Fortunately, the night has just begun, so there's no rush.
For the past half hour, a gaze had been following him, which made him feel somewhat helpless. He was working, so why was he being stared at?
Thinking about it, Bai Chi walked towards the bar.
Young Master Qiao, who claimed to be indifferent to beautiful women, had been sitting at the bar for half an hour, with his underlings guarding him to prevent anyone from getting close.
Even when the manager tried to curry favor, he was driven away and told not to get in the way.
It was that little brother who used to look down on Bai Chi, but now he dared not look down on him anymore, and was even a little jealous.
Who is this girl? She's not exactly a beauty queen, so why did she catch Young Master Qiao's eye?
Bai Chi glanced at him, calmly walked past Qiao Yunxiao, picked up two glasses of wine, and prepared to leave.
As a result, he was stopped by the manager after taking only two steps, and the manager even took the tray from Bai Chi's hands.
"My goodness, stop thinking about work all the time. You go to work to earn money, right? Look at that young master Qiao. He just throws out a little pocket money, and the commission from the drinks he opened tonight is enough for you to drink for a month. Can you go sit with him for two minutes and talk to him? Please, I'm begging you!"
Only the boss knew that Bai Chi was an undercover police officer. To everyone else, Bai Chi was just a poor distant relative of the boss who came to work, and they didn't need to know anything else about him.
They said they were relatives of the boss so that they wouldn't be harassed by the manager or supervisor if needed. To avoid being exposed, the boss hasn't come to the store these past few days.
So from the manager's perspective, you're only here to make money by serving drinks. Now that there's ready-made money, why aren't you picking it up?
Bai Chi glanced back, his displeasure practically written all over Qiao Yunxiao's face!
However, when Bai Chi turned his head to look over, his expression instantly changed to a smile.
They really change their tune faster than turning the pages of a book.
Especially those eyes, their gaze was intense, and they hadn't looked away from Bai Chi all night.
The manager even gave him a shove.
"Hurry up and go! Young Master Qiao just asked you a lot of questions, and he kept staring at you. That's Young Master Qiao, the Qiao family, whose every move can shake the entire Qingyuan City!"
Bai Chi curled his lip: "Then the Qiao family's feet are quite big, and so strong, aren't they afraid of earthquakes?"
The manager was stunned for a moment before realizing that Bai Chi was making a complaint.
"What do you know? Let me tell you, Qiao Shao's sister, Miss Qiao, has already expanded her business to the capital. She's practically torn a hole in Beijing's business circle. Who knows, she might become the Queen of Beijing's business circle in the future. Don't blame me for not warning you. If you can get into the Qiao family, your ancestors' graves will be emitting auspicious smoke!"
As she spoke, she pushed Bai Chi directly in front of Qiao Yunxiao with a forceful gesture, then smiled ingratiatingly at Qiao Yunxiao before personally serving the wine to the guests.
Bai Chi sighed helplessly. He knew the manager meant well—of course, the real reason was to sell him out for personal gain, simply to curry favor with Qiao Yunxiao.
Even if it weren't Qiao Yunxiao, but some other wealthy tycoon who coveted him so much, the manager would have pushed him forward without hesitation.
Of course, for Bai Chi, whether it's Qiao Yunxiao or not makes a huge difference.
He casually pulled over a stool from the side, ignored the underling, and sat down directly in front of Qiao Yunxiao, extending his hand.
Before she could even speak, her hand was grabbed, held by both hands, and she even secretly stroked the back of his hand.
'You pervert! Master, your husband is being a pervert! Master, look how skilled he is; he's probably done this many times before!'
Xiao Hei directly sowed discord, determined to seize any opportunity to take revenge—to avenge the theft of all the videos and photos of its master!
Bai Chi sighed inwardly; none of them were any easy to deal with.
'Xiao Hei, you weren't like this when you were praising his sister before.'
Ignoring Qiao Yunxiao's subtle actions, she smiled.
"My name is Bai Chi. What's yours?"
As the two grew closer, Qiao Yunxiao, though lacking memories in the small world, was immediately drawn to him every time she saw him, even more so than if it were love at first sight.
"Qiao Yunxiao, you can just call me Yunxiao. Can I call you Achi?"
The underling next to him turned pale and then purple, his eyes filled with jealousy as he looked at Bai Chi.
I'm not envious anymore, I'm just jealous!
Bai Chi continued smiling: "Okay, Yunxiao, I'm still at work. Could you ask the manager not to disturb me?"
Qiao Yunxiao frowned: "I just heard him say that you, Achi, don't have money to go to school, so you're here to work and study, right? How much money do you need? 100,000, no, 1 million, is that enough?"
He then gestured to his henchman, as if to suggest either writing a check or giving him a black card.
Neither.
The younger brother had just taken out the check when Qiao Yunxiao refused it.
"I'll have someone prepare a supplementary card, it'll be delivered in a bit. There's no limit, you can use as much money as the main card has. There's 30 million in the card right now, is that enough?"
He didn't let go of Bai Chi's hand the whole time, only letting his younger brother arrange the card matters.
Don't worry if the bank is closed. What Young Master Qiao needs, we can get it done as quickly as possible, even if it's like being stabbed in the back!
Bai Chi's eyes widened in surprise.
Thirty million?
Is that enough?
Which impoverished family needs 30 million yuan to send their child to school?
Oh right, this is his current public persona.
Bai Chi struggled hard but couldn't break free. Qiao Yunxiao held his hand tightly, and he couldn't bear to shake him off too forcefully, otherwise Qiao Yunxiao would definitely hurt his hand and be heartbroken.
He could only sigh helplessly: "Yunxiao, it's not about money. I really need to go to work right now."
This is his mission.
From the moment he inherited his father's police badge number, catching thieves or apprehending murderers became his duty.
It has nothing to do with money.
