The staff rushed in a state of panic and promptly began scrutinizing the photographs on their inventory list. Xu Yuan, on the other hand, headed straight for the core area, where the most valuable treasures were housed.

Upon entering, his gaze immediately locked onto the Tears of the Ocean, positioned in the center of the room. He approached it, unable to believe his eyes. This item had undeniably been taken by Tu Mi. Why was it here now?

Beneath the Tears of the Ocean lay a note bearing words, “The perfect jade is returned to you now.”

Logically, he should have been relieved that the item was back in his possession, sparing him from the need to repay Gu Chen. However, Xu Yuan found himself nearly consumed by anger. He angrily tore the note in his hand and exclaimed, “Tu Mi is taunting me!”

Word of this development swiftly reached Gu Chen’s ears. He remarked, “Xu Yuan was the one who insisted on issuing that challenge letter. In the end, he’s the one who was embarrassed.”

Su Yang looked at Gu Chen and remarked, “But Mr. Xu was already in a very embarrassing position before. Returning the items this time is no different from a direct slap to his face.”

“He can only blame himself. I never intended to pursue the matter of the White Jade Guanyin. It was his insistence on seeking revenge for me,” Gu Chen remarked, unmoved by the situation.

Su Yang wasn’t surprised by his young master’s response. He sighed and commented, “I’m afraid everyone among Mr. Xu’s acquaintances will learn about his embarrassment now.”

The term “everyone” referred to Gu Chen’s close friends. The news of the MD building’s incident wouldn’t spread to the wider public. Only the founding members would be privy to what occurred within the building initially.

Unknown to outsiders, the MD building had originated as the brainchild of a group of young people. Gu Chen had also contributed to the building’s design, given that these youngsters were all his friends.

Later on, they secured financial support from their respective families to turn their ideas into a reality. Consequently, outsiders believed that several major conglomerates had founded the MD building, unaware of the existence of its true founders.

When Qi Shuo learned of this, he was almost tempted to burst into laughter. He remarked, “Xu Yuan, who would have thought the building would allow people to enter and exit so easily?

They took the Tears of the Ocean away just like that, and now they’re returning it just as easily. If this gets out, it’ll be a stain on the MD building’s reputation.” “Could you please stop laughing? We founded this building together, and we’ll be embarrassed together,” Xu Yuan retorted angrily.

“It’s not the same. In the eyes of outsiders, you’re the sole manager of the building. If you want to bring embarrassment upon yourself, that’s your prerogative,” Xia Rui, seated on the other side, nonchalantly swirled his wine glass.

Xu Yuan’s anger flared to the point that he stood up. “This building represents the hard work and dedication of all of us. Aren’t you upset that it’s come to

“Getting angry won’t change anything. You can’t defend against a thief of this caliber. If you hadn’t provoked him, this wouldn’t have happened,” remarked a man in a biker suit who had just entered.

Having spoken his piece, he took a seat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of wine.

Xu Yuan remained agitated. “Xiao Lei, please stop making sarcastic remarks. I did this to seek justice for Gu Chen. Who would’ve thought Tu Mi would be so scary?”

After hearing Xu Yuan’s account, Xiao Lei’s curiosity was piqued. He had been out of the country when the incident occurred and had only heard about it from Qi Shuo. He asked, “I know Tu Mi took the Tears of the Ocean, but is there something that happened during the process that made you describe him as ‘scary ?

Xu Yuan responded, “Of course, it’s scary. Not only did he locate the building’s backup power source, but he also had a gun when he made his escape. It’s already quite frightening to obtain a gun in a private situation in China.”

Gu Chen entered the room with Su Yang and suggested, “The fact that he managed to obtain a gun just indicates that he is quite capable. Perhaps it’s time to consider upgrading the security of the MD building?”

Xu Yuan slumped onto the sofa and made no attempt to move. “I’m not going to bother. Let Tu Mi level up. I don’t care anymore.”

Gu Chen regarded Xu Yuan thoughtfully, as though he genuinely wanted to extend an invitation. When he sensed this, Xu Yuan quickly sat up and inquired, “Are you really planning to invite him over?”

Xu Yuan initially assumed that Gu Chen was merely impressed by Tu Mi. After all, he was a versatile individual with skills in both thievery and hacking. He hadn’t anticipated that Gu Chen genuinely intended to bring him into the MD building.

The thought of sharing a space with Tu Mi didn’t sit well with him. It would serve as a constant reminder of his embarrassing ordeal. He was determined to oppose the idea vehemently.

However, at that very moment, the staff responsible for monitoring surveillance cameras rushed in and exclaimed, “Mr.. Xu, we’ve captured Tu Mi on camera!”
