Chapter 692

Then,

The two of them borrowed travel money from Zeng Xiaoxian and came directly to the Imperial Capital.

But after the two arrived in the Imperial Capital,

Chen Meijia learned that Qin Yumo had already entered the mountains to shoot a new drama and wouldn't return for at least a week,

so,

with no relatives or friends in the Imperial Capital, Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia were forced to wander the city.

At first, Chen Meijia was fine—she planned to use the last of her money wisely, eating the cheapest meals and staying in the cheapest hotels, hoping it would last until Qin Yumo returned.

However,

Lu Ziqiao, accustomed to lavish spending, strongly disagreed.

Lu Ziqiao persuaded Meijia that since they were in the Imperial Capital, they must experience all its food, drink, and entertainment—that was the true way to live joyfully.

So,

the gullible Chen Meijia was swindled by Lu Ziqiao into spending all her money within two days,

then,

the two of them (ajfj) were completely broke,

and then,

the two erupted into a fierce argument,

after the argument,

Lu Ziqiao once again convinced Chen Meijia to accompany him to a Michelin three-star restaurant for a free meal, then fled.

Chen Meijia couldn't reach Lu Ziqiao and had no one to turn to in the Imperial Capital, so she hid in the lower parking garage of a large mall.

Chen Meijia was not a thief,

but when in desperate straits, one truly has no choice.

From last night until now,

Chen Meijia had eaten not a single grain of rice or taken a single sip of water—she could no longer endure it,

so,

Chen Meijia targeted luxury cars, preparing to strike.

Chen Meijia knew that

most car owners spending a few hundred thousand to a million were hardworking laborers,

and their cars rarely contained cash or valuable items,

even if they did,

if stolen, these owners would immediately report it and demand strict punishment,

so stealing these cars was truly not worth it.

However,

luxury car owners were different.

Any owner of a multi-million or even ten-million-yuan luxury car had a net worth of at least tens of millions,

these wealthy people didn't care much for cash and placed great importance on their image,

if Chen Meijia stole a luxury car, she would gain a massive fortune,

of course,

if Chen Meijia got caught, she could cry, beg for mercy, and say some soft words—most luxury car owners would likely let her go,

after all,

luxury car owners valued their time more than money and wouldn't necessarily want to waste it on such a trivial matter involving her.

So,

when Qin Feng's Kulinan drove down into the underground garage,

Chen Meijia, hiding in the shadows, had already noticed it.

Thanks to Lu Ziqiao's influence,

Chen Meijia knew this car was a top-tier luxury SUV, costing at least ten million yuan on the spot,

and anyone driving a car of this caliber was certainly either extremely wealthy or highly powerful.

So,

Chen Meijia crouched low, carefully observing Qin Feng,

waiting until Qin Feng parked and walked into the elevator with He Fanxing, and the elevator rose,

then Chen Meijia stealthily approached the Kulinan.

Arriving in front of the Kulinan,

Chen Meijia stood up slightly, peered around, confirmed no one was nearby, then reached out to pull the Kulinan's door handle.

But Chen Meijia did not know that

the Kulinan was equipped with the most advanced car anti-theft system,

if someone without the key lingered near the Kulinan for too long and repeatedly pulled the door handles,

the Kulinan would automatically trigger an alarm and send a vibration alert to Qin Feng's phone.

So,

when Chen Meijia pulled once, the Kulinan showed no reaction,

but,

when Chen Meijia went to the back seat and pulled the door handle again,

Kulinan suddenly blared a long "Duu—duu—duu—" alarm and immediately triggered a vibration alert on Qin Feng's phone.

Chen Meijia panicked and spun around to run.

Then, she was instantly blocked by two security guards who seemed to have descended from the heavens! ……

…….

Chapter 286: Xia Jie, We Meet Again! (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and rating votes!)

Chen Meijia did not know,

that since she entered the underground garage of Yansha Daxia last night,

she had already become a person of intense focus for the security team.

In the security room,

on the entire wall of monitors,

the infrared motion-capture surveillance was now clearly replaying the footage of Chen Meijia being caught.

Seeing the two security guards standing directly in front of and behind her,

Chen Meijia knew things were bad,

so she immediately used her best trick: she pouted, squatted on the ground, and shed tears saying, "Brother Security, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to—I got lost. I thought this was my car, so I pulled the wrong door. I was wrong…"

"Pulled the wrong door?"

The senior guard snorted coldly and looked at Chen Meijia. "Miss, you don't think we're fools, do you?"

He then

pointed to the ceiling monitor: "Miss, look—these cameras are all infrared thermal detectors, fully automated."

"Since last night at 8 p. m., when you sneaked into the parking lot, our security team has been watching you. We've saved all the footage. Heh."

"Huh?"

Chen Meijia asked, astonished: "Then if you saw me, why didn't you kick me out?"

"Why?"

The senior guard chuckled, his eyes burning as he stared at Chen Meijia.

Chen Meijia felt a surge of panic and clutched the collar of her shirt, feigning ferocity: "What are you doing?! Don't come closer! I've trained in karate—I've killed someone before!"

"Enough. Nobody's interested in you."

The senior guard shook his head in disbelief and smiled: "Let me put it this way—our company has a rule: anyone who catches a thief with clear evidence gets a five-thousand-yuan reward."

"That five thousand is split among the whole team, but my partner and I get the biggest share—minimum five hundred each. We didn't kick you out because we wanted to catch you in the act. Now it's done—five hundred yuan in hand. Hahaha!"

The senior guard finished speaking and pulled a rubber baton from behind his waist.
