Just when everyone thought it was impossible to catch up to the Thief King...

Ye Qiu, as if he activated a cheat mode, flashed rapidly in the air, quickly closing in on the Thief King!

Two seconds later, he swung his right arm, grabbing the Thief King's collar, hefting him effortlessly.

At this moment, the entire space froze.

Zhong Heng was shocked.

Wei Sheng and all the bodyguards were dumbfounded.

The Thief King's subordinates were even more stunned!

Everyone was looking at the scene before them in disbelief.

"Damn, this guy named Ye Qiu is simply a monster."

"My god, how is this possible? Our boss actually, actually got captured alive?"

"Is this guy a ghost? Just swoosh, swoosh, and he captured the Thief King?"

Instantly, the entire space was filled with the exclamations of the Thief King's subordinates and Zhong Heng's bodyguards, echoing one after another.

The Thief King, captured alive by Ye Qiu, was also bewildered.

His feet were dangling in the air, and he stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide open, his mouth agape.

He... he actually got captured alive?

Despite escaping in advance, he was captured?

Is this a damn dream?

"Impossible!" The Thief King shook his head repeatedly, stunned for a long while before forcefully turning his head to look at Ye Qiu.

He wanted to see who exactly could so effortlessly capture him alive.

Then, he saw!

The moment he saw that face up close, the Thief King's mind exploded, as if struck by five thunderbolts, turning blank.

It's him!!!

"You are... you are the Demon King, the legendary Demon King!"

The Thief King stammered in shock.

He never dreamed that Ye Qiu, whom he wanted to help his subordinates deal with, is actually the Demon King!

The invincible Demon King!

In an instant, the Thief King's expression changed, the anger in his eyes vanished, replaced by overwhelming fear.

He was so scared that he trembled all over, tears nearly spilling out.

"Demon King, I was wrong, I didn't know you were here, please let me go, please, please..."

The Thief King gave up struggling, looking at Ye Qiu with a tearful face, pleading helplessly.

As he begged for mercy, Ye Qiu began taking him back, causing his words to be clearly heard by everyone around.

Realizing Ye Qiu's identity, the Thief King's subordinates were all bewildered!

They were far too familiar with the words "Demon King!"

Previously, whenever on a mission, the Thief King would specifically instruct that if they ever encountered that person known as the Demon King, they should immediately abandon the task!

Because even the famously notorious Thief King could not escape from Ye Qiu's grasp!

The Thief King's subordinates remembered his words vividly, but never thought they would actually encounter the Demon King in person today.

Meanwhile, Zhong Heng and Wei Sheng, along with a group of bodyguards, were all bewildered.

"So... so he is the Demon King." Zhong Heng murmured in shock, realizing how foolish it was to try and recruit the Demon King earlier.

A terrifying existence like the Demon King, how could he have the qualification to recruit him?

Just being able to see him was already a rarity.

"No wonder, no wonder he could easily take me down..."

Wei Sheng also conceded, staring blankly at Ye Qiu, cold sweat dripping down his back and feeling a sense of relief that he didn't end up offending Ye Qiu fatally.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died...

As everyone was in shock, suddenly, from behind Zhong Heng came Lin Chuxue's disappointed and guilty voice, "Chairman Zhong, I'm sorry, we didn't intercept the Thief King and his men, they... they probably escaped."

As she spoke, Lin Chuxue's face was truly difficult to look at.

She had waited for a long time and made many preparations for this operation to capture the Thief King, but ultimately still failed, a blow she found hard to withstand.

In her view, the failure of this operation was not just her personal failure, but a disgrace to the entire Jiangnan police.

Lin Chuxue was very upset, bowing her head, not saying another word.

However, at this moment, a calm voice suddenly reached her ears, "Officer, I accidentally captured a Thief King, I wonder if it's the one you're looking for."

"Don't joke, the Thief King is already gone, how could he be captured? And accidentally captured..."

Lin Chuxue murmured, slowly lifting her head.

When she saw the face clearly before her, she was stunned.

Then, her mouth finally broke into a smile.

Lin Chuxue didn't see Ye Qiu, but she saw the Thief King.

A pitiable Thief King was standing there obediently, not daring to resist even without handcuffs.

"Would you be willing to go with this beautiful police sister?"

Ye Qiu stood behind the Thief King, grinning.

"Yes, yes..." The Thief King dared not say a word of refusal, nodding vigorously like a pecking chicken.

"Ah!!!" Lin Chuxue was ecstatic, completely unable to contain her excitement, screaming as she rushed over to tightly hug Ye Qiu, then giving him a strong kiss, not caring about the eyes of those around.

"Ye Qiu, I knew you could help me, you really did it!"

"You really helped me capture the Thief King!"

Lin Chuxue was so grateful she almost cried, hugging Ye Qiu even tighter, her softness pressing continuously against Ye Qiu's chest.

"Oh yeah, we captured the Thief King!"

"We finally captured the Thief King!"

"This is great!"

The surrounding police were also thrilled, with reverent looks all landing on Ye Qiu.

"Alright, hurry up and take the Thief King back, don't let him escape, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, he'll be in trouble."

Ye Qiu pushed Lin Chuxue away, giving the Thief King a meaningful look.

"Officers, I beg you, please take me away." The Thief King looked at Lin Chuxue with a tearful face, now preferring to go to prison than face Ye Qiu's terrifying visage...

With the Thief King handled, under Zhong Heng's orderly arrangement, the jewelry exhibition continued.

Logically, at such an event, Zhong Heng should be the focus, being flattered like the moon surrounded by stars.

But in fact, it wasn't so.

Ye Qiu was just too stunning; he defeated Wei Sheng without using any moves and casually captured the Thief King, turning these events into legends that became the talk of the town.

One influential figure after another scrambled to toast Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu naturally became the true star of the exhibition, outshining even the sparkling and pricey jewels.

Of course, the exhibition still had many programs, continuing until nightfall before winding down.

As the final moments approached, Zhong Heng took up the microphone and stood on stage, scanning everyone with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, taking this opportunity at the jewelry exhibition, I want to announce something very important."

With that, his gaze immediately fell on Bai Lan at the front of the crowd.

"No way, it can't be..."

"Is it that thing? I've been thinking about it for so long..."

As if realizing something, everyone at the scene looked at Bai Lan with envy.
