Xing Zhicheng's oppressive presence was simply too strong.
The bodyguard captain was a former overseas mercenary who had seen his fair share of bloodshed, but standing next to him now, he didn't dare to utter a sound.
It was so painful...
How long until the gate opens?
The corridor was now completely empty, leaving only Xing Zhicheng and his companion. Xing Zhicheng looked at the security door in front of him and asked...
"It'll be soon... The engineer has been entering the password to open the door since we received the message, but for security reasons, it was set so that even if the password is entered, it will take ten minutes to open the door. Now, judging by the time, there should be less than three minutes left."
The bodyguard captain answered fluently, then paused, unable to resist complaining, "I don't know where this thief came from, he just suddenly appeared. I wonder how the brothers inside are doing, sigh..."
"Did it appear suddenly? I think this thief planned this all along."
Xing Zhicheng stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, staring directly at the closed door, and said calmly, "My Xing family's security system is among the best in the world, but it was suddenly attacked by hackers who broke into the system and cut off the power for three minutes... There are very few people on the entire planet who have such technology."
"To choose to act at the moment the power went out, to knock out all the fully armed elite security guards in three minutes, and to escape perfectly, there are not many people with such skills."
"It's already rare to find someone who possesses even one of the above abilities, let alone two? I don't believe such a person exists. Therefore, this group of thieves must consist of at least two or more people."
Xing Zhicheng stretched out his palm and stroked the cold metal door, one stroke at a time. His hand moved lightly, but his eyes suddenly turned ruthless and sharp. "This kind of cooperation... they've set their sights on our Xing family again. I think I already know who this thief is."
"Is this your 'greeting gift' to me? Seeing that my Xing family has come to your stronghold, you can't sit still anymore and can't wait to declare your dominance in front of me? You... are panicking?"
"You panic too?!"
Xing Zhicheng started by answering the bodyguard captain's questions, but gradually turned into talking to himself. He spoke faster and faster, and his expression became more and more excited. In the end, he even started to laugh out loud.
The shrill voice, amidst the intense laughter, sounded like a demonic whisper. The bodyguard captain, who was nearby, felt a sudden tightness in his chest, his vision blurred, and he felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
This person... really is a devil!
The bodyguard captain's eyes widened in horror. His years of service as a mercenary had allowed him to see many dead bodies, and he considered himself braver than the heavens. He believed that no one in the world could frighten him. But today, he understood what fear truly felt like.
It made his hands and feet feel cold and his whole body go numb. The bodyguard captain didn't even dare to breathe and subconsciously held his breath.
"Time is up."
Xing Zhicheng watched as the door slowly opened, moving to the left and right, his expression completely calm.
"……Yes."
The bodyguard captain breathed a heavy sigh of relief; he swore it was the longest three minutes of his life.
I never want to remember it again in my life...
"Let's go in and take a look."
Although it took some time to open the door, it opened quickly once the time was up. Xing Zhicheng didn't delay and stepped inside.
After a quick glance, Xing Zhicheng was slightly relieved to see that the contents of the private vault had not been disturbed and all the collections were still in their original places.
The bodyguards lying scattered on the ground did not catch his eye at all; these people were just expendable resources for the Xing family, to be replaced when they were gone.
Compared to these worthless bodyguards, Xing Zhicheng cared more about his collection, especially... that thing.
He walked straight toward the small box made of bulletproof glass in the very center.
The bodyguard captain, concerned for his subordinates, hurried over and checked on the unconscious bodyguards one by one. Only after confirming that they were not in mortal danger and had simply passed out did he breathe a sigh of relief.
A stroke of luck amidst misfortune...
When the bodyguard captain looked up again, he saw Xing Zhicheng standing there motionless, as if someone had acupunctured him.
"Mr. Xing?"
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in the bodyguard captain's heart. He strode over and looked at the safe that had once housed the world's only sapphire.
But now, the safe is gone.
The small box, made of bulletproof glass, had a small circular hole cut into the top by something unknown. It was just big enough to reach in and take the safe.
Inside the box, where the safe should have been, a white card had been placed instead.
This is a very ordinary white card, which the recipient probably just bought casually at the supermarket, but the picture drawn on the card is quite unusual.
Those were four roses of different colors.
Four-colored roses.
"...Mr. Xing?"
The bodyguard captain couldn't understand the meaning of the card, so he looked up and called out again in confusion.
"Four-colored... roses!!!"
Xing Zhicheng flew into a rage and roared to the sky.
The bodyguard captain had gotten used to Xing Zhicheng's shrewdness and thought that even if he was angry, he would keep it to himself and not show it on his face.
But now...
Looking at Xing Zhicheng, who was roaring with anger and whose face was flushed red, the bodyguard captain didn't dare to breathe, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
Four-colored roses?
What is that?
Is it someone's nickname...?
