Ouyang Jiahui helplessly raised her press card in front of her chest, saying to Xiao Lin and Xu Xiangbei, "I still have to conduct interviews, where do I have ti to play? I’ll co find you after I’m done."
Just as Ouyang Jiahui was hastily saying goodbye to her parents and friends, a voice bood out like a gong, "Girl Hui, you see your uncle and don’t even call out?"
A middle-aged man with graying hair, a crew cut, and wearing a security uniform smiled as he walked over.
Dongfang Yelan saw the middle-aged man and smiled, "Brother, why are you here?"
Ouyang Yude smiled while shaking hands with the middle-aged man, "Brother Yi, you’re back!"
Ouyang Jiahui was initially stunned, then affectionately grabbed the middle-aged man’s arm, "Uncle, you’re back! Does Xiao Bai know you’re back?"
The middle-aged man smiled kindly, "He doesn’t know I’m back, I’m just here in Earth Sea for a business trip, can’t stay long, planning to find so ti to visit Dad."
Xu Xiangbei didn’t recognize the middle-aged man, but from Ouyang Jiahui’s conversation, he guessed this was Dongfang Bai’s father, Ouyang Jiahui’s uncle, Dongfang Yi.
Ouyang Yude pulled Xu Xiangbei over, "This is my newly acknowledged younger brother, Xu Xiangbei, it’s he who cured Dad’s illness, Dad can see clearly now."
Dongfang Yi curiously looked at Xu Xiangbei. He had heard from Dongfang Yelan about Dad’s regained vision and thought the one who could cure Dad’s eye disease should be an old Chinese doctor, never expecting it to be a young man.
Xu Xiangbei introduced himself, "My na is Xu Xiangbei, I’m a young doctor."
He smiled and shook hands with Xu Xiangbei, "Thank you, Dr. Xu. I’ve been working in Yanjing without ti to co back, I truly appreciate you curing my dad’s illness."
"It’s nothing, just lending a hand."
Dongfang Yelan guessed sothing and asked, "Brother, how co you’re at the jewelry exhibition, is Heart of the Ocean under your security watch?"
"Yes, Heart of the Ocean, a diamond worth over a billion, the jewel’s owner didn’t trust ordinary security companies, so they let us handle Heart of the Ocean’s security."
The walkie-talkie on his chest crackled. Soone was calling Dongfang Yi, he pointed at the walkie-talkie, indicating he had to go to work.
Ouyang Yude said, "Let’s not delay your work, rember to co ho after your shift."
Dongfang Yi bid farewell to his family and Xu Xiangbei, and left with his walkie-talkie.
Xu Xiangbei noticed that the security for this exhibit was particularly strict, with guards in blue security uniforms stationed everywhere.
Suddenly, the fire alarm sounded, mixed with guests’ screams, and many people rushed out of the museum.
Ouyang Yude and Dongfang Yelan were shocked, "What’s happening, what occurred?"
Xu Xiangbei attentively listened, besides chaotic footsteps, he heard sporadic gunshots, this wasn’t just a fire alarm.
"Xiao Lin, leave the museum with my brother, I’ll go inside to check."
Ouyang Yude and Dongfang Yelan, along with Xiao Lin, retreated towards the exit, while Xu Xiangbei ran towards the inner hall.
The museum, once crowded with people, beca eerily empty and quiet.
Xu Xiangbei found a security guard lying on the ground, blood seeping from his forehead, his breath was steady, he must have been knocked unconscious, and his walkie-talkie was constantly transmitting sound, soone had stolen Heart of the Ocean and was running towards the 12th exit.
Xu Xiangbei realized the exit beside him bore the sign "12th Exit," he hurriedly ran towards it.
Sudden footsteps echoed through the corridor, three n hurried towards him, each wearing piglet masks and holding guns; one carried a backpack.
They bumped into Xu Xiangbei face to face.
See Xu Xiangbei, they were also stunned. By their calculations, at this mont, there shouldn’t be any guests lingering inside the museum aside from the security personnel.
They simultaneously raised their guns, the dark muzzles aid at Xu Xiangbei.
However, before encountering them, Xu Xiangbei had already moved.
With a flick of his hands, two Iron Galls slid into his palms.
Swish, the twin Iron Galls flew, knocking the guns from two masked robbers’ hands, and Xu Xiangbei, like an arrow off the string, lunged at the third masked robber, kicking his gun away.
The entire motion was fluid, seamless as clouds and flowing water, completed in an instant, leaving the masked robbers no ti to pull the trigger.
The robbers encircled Xu Xiangbei; they held cold shimring knives. Although their guns were knocked away, they still had sharp daggers.
Xu Xiangbei’s lips curled into a cold smile, he grabbed one robber’s arm and gently squeezed, a crisp cracking sound of bones echoed, along with a heart-wrenching scream, particularly clear in the empty corridor.
A clatter sounded as the robber’s dagger dropped to the ground.
That robber was flipped over by Xu Xiangbei, heavily slamd to the ground, fainting from pain.
The second robber suffered the sa fate, even more disastrously.
The third robber realized Xu Xiangbei wasn’t an ordinary person, scared, he turned tail and ran.
He barely ran two steps when he felt a kick on his rear, sending him flying, crashing into the wall, dropping his backpack which rolled to Xu Xiangbei’s feet.
The robber climbed up from the ground, greedily eyeing the backpack nearby, but Xu Xiangbei was already standing in front of it, grinning playfully at him.
"Do you want this? What’s inside?"
Recalling his companions’ plight, terror overca greed, he gritted his teeth, turned, and fled, but hadn’t run far before bumping into the advancing security chief Dongfang Yi, who caught him effortlessly.
Xu Xiangbei picked up the backpack; it felt heavy in his hand. As he gently unzipped it, a light blue glow emanated from inside, dazzling his eyes.
Xu Xiangbei was instantly breathless; inside the backpack lay a diamond the size of a baby’s fist.
Under the lights, the diamond emitted a faint blue glow, Xu Xiangbei felt himself engulfed in an endless ocean, embraced by gentle waves, even hearing the soft murmurs of the waves.
Seeing the two downed robbers, Dongfang Yi understood what transpired and smiled as he approached, "You ca at the right ti today. You’ve seen Heart of the Ocean."
Recalling Shen Congru’s words, it’s true, just a glimpse makes you fall deeply in love; it’s simply stunning.
Xu Xiangbei took Heart of the Ocean from the backpack, its touch cool, surface smooth, with countless tiny polished facets like mirrors, reflecting Xu Xiangbei’s face.
Suddenly, urgent footsteps echoed along with Shen Congru’s cries, "God, who took the diamond, it’s worth billions, how will I explain to my dad, how will I explain to Mr. Calia."
Xu Xiangbei quietly watched Heart of the Ocean, handing it back to Dongfang Yi.
