Although the people that Cai Yu hired were the best, they couldn’t stand the two of them combined. They were so powerful that Cai Yu’s people instantly looked weaker.

The whale’s tears that were originally stored in the exhibition hall disappeared in the blink of an eye. Gu Liao took a deep breath and smiled faintly. He had already succeeded halfway.

“The whale’s tears are gone.”

The sound of the alarm rang throughout the entire building. Everyone trembled in fear as if they were treading on thin ice. They were just here for an exhibition. How did they encounter so many things at once?

However, they did not dare to complain. This was a gem worth 200 million. No one dared to directly accept it.

Gu Liao glanced at Xie Ru. The soft touch on the woman’s waist felt hot on his fingertips. There was still the fragrance of cherry blossoms lingering in her hair.

“I have to say, Mr. Q is quite strong.”

“Ha, Miss X, you flatter me.”

Xie Ru smiled coldly and continued, “Even so, I’m not willing to work with you again.”

“Likewise.”

The two of them shrugged. Next, they had to deliver the item to the contact arranged by Joseph before the mission was considered completed.

“Trash, all of you are trash. You are so many people and yet you can’t even guard a single stone. What’s the use of having a bunch of useless people like you?”

Cai Yu flew into a rage. This was the item that was going to be auctioned off. Now that it had been lost, the losses were disastrous.

“What are you waiting for? Do you want me to go find it?”

“Mr. Cai Yu, there might be no hope in tracking it down.”

A voice suddenly came from the crowd. “We are all people from the underworld. I have heard of Mr. Q’s well-known reputation. With Miss X working along with him, it doesn’t matter how tight your security is anymore. To these two people, your security is nothing.”

“Mr. Q, Miss X? Who are these two?” asked Cai Yu in puzzlement. He had never heard of them.

“Mr. Cai Yu, no one knows where they come from, but wherever they appear, treasures will be lost without a trace. Their code names are Divine Detective Q and Divine Thief X.”

As long as a place was explored by Divine Detective Q, it would become his personal space. Nothing could escape his sight and investigation.

As for Divine Thief X, perhaps it was because she was a woman, but she was able to move incredibly gracefully yet stealthily.

When these two people acted together, the result was a foregone conclusion.

“Then post a reward. As long as you find the gemstone, you will receive a reward of 50 million.”

Everyone looked at each other. Despite the 50 million, the thought of those two people made them cower again.

Someone had offered 200 million for the duo but no one had caught them yet.

There might be some who might be willing to give the 50 million a try. However, their efforts would be like a stone sinking into the ocean. Silent.

At this moment, Gu Liao’s private phone vibrated. He was slightly surprised. Why was there a call from the villa at this time?

“Young Master, Young Madam has disappeared again.”

“What? How could you have let this happen? A blind person can’t outrun you guys.”

“Young Master, we’ve looked in many places but to no avail.”

Gu Liao’s grip on the phone tightened and blue veins popped up on his body. His entire body turned as cold as ice and the aura he emitted was terrifying.

Xie Ru sighed at the speed at which the man’s expression changed. She did not know that she was jumping around repeatedly on a mission that she could not complete.

“Miss X, I’m very sorry. I’m afraid I won’t be able to complete the task. There are some things that I have to take care of. I have to go.”

“You have to go.”

“Of course.”

“Fine, Mr. Q. But I still have to say that you’re really the worst person I’ve ever worked with.”

Gu Liao shrugged. “I’m really sorry to bring Miss X such an experience. Next time, I’ll give Miss X this part of my compensation!”

“Thank you.”

The man gradually left her sight. Xie Ru’s heart skipped a beat. She felt like she had forgotten something important..
