F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 126 Reunion with the Prophet, Luo Tian: How about paying the intelligence fee for the rest f

Mu Wanqing hung up the phone decisively.

Chen Yifan, however, sat quietly on the sofa for a long time, holding his phone.

Black Wind Gobi.

Qilin Group.

Three rare job change cards.

These words together are like a piece of cheese that smells sweet and bloody in the dark.

Would Mu Wanqing really be so kind?

Chen Yifan didn't believe it.

This woman wouldn't do anything without a reason; her motive for releasing this information is definitely not pure.

trap?

Probably.

However, the Qilin Group's transportation team was almost completely wiped out, and the survivors' attempt to take advantage of the chaos before the company could react is also plausible.

but……

The whole thing has a strong sense that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Using someone else to do the dirty work?

A hint of coldness flashed in Chen Yifan's eyes.

His contract with Mu Wanqing, based on the "Abyss Protocol," is almost unsolvable.

But if he dies, the contract will naturally become invalid.

Find a pretext to lure him into a desolate place like the Black Wind Gobi Desert, where he will die in a beast tide or some other "accident".

For her, it was the best way to get rid of herself as the "creditor".

If it were me, I would definitely do the same.

"That's interesting."

Instead of being angry, Chen Yifan's lips curled into a very faint smile.

But should we go, or not?

The allure of the [Rare Job Change Card] is undeniable.

With a normal job change, he's an F-rank thief, with his potential capped.

However, a high-quality rare job change card can elevate him to the top in one step, causing a qualitative change in his combat power.

Bai Xiang's inheritance made him rich overnight, but money is ultimately just an external thing.

Only when it is transformed into one's own strength can it become a true trump card.

He thought about it and decided to keep the matter to himself for the time being.

The most urgent task is not to go to the Gobi Desert.

Instead, they went to Hangzhou.

My sister's eyes.

This is the root and end point of all his actions.

Until my sister is fully recovered, any risks must give way.

Chen Yifan stood up and walked to the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

The place was spotless, thanks to Wang Shufen's efforts; a faint scent of soapberry lingered in the air.

On the bedside table, there is a family photo.

In the photo, the mother, Wang Shufen, smiles gently.

He was holding the hand of a little girl with pigtails, grinning foolishly.

At that time, Chen Xue's eyes seemed to hold an entire starry sky.

Chen Yifan reached out and gently brushed his fingertips across his sister's face in the photo.

All the calculation and coldness in his eyes melted away at that moment.

"Soon."

He spoke softly as he picked up the phone.

He dialed Luo Tian's number; he needed to verify some things.

……

The next day, early morning.

Chen Yifan first gave the skill book to Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu.

Let them both prepare well for the college entrance examination.

Then, he took the psionic high-speed rail below and arrived in Hangzhou.

Using the anonymous black card left by Wang Qingyun, he rented a top-security detached villa in the most exclusive wealthy area, "West Lake".

Subsequently, he contacted the person arranged by Mu Wanqing to quietly bring his mother and sister from the secret manor in Jiangcheng to Hangzhou.

When Wang Shufen and Chen Xue entered this luxurious villa, which was as luxurious as a palace, they were both speechless with astonishment.

"Yifan, how much...how much will this cost?"

Wang Shufen held her son's hand, her face full of heartache and unease.

"Mom, don't worry about the money."

Chen Yifan smiled and reassured him.

"I am a 'hero' now, all thanks to the rewards from above."

He made up a reason on the spot.

"Brother, this place... is so beautiful."

Chen Xue stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Although she couldn't see it, she seemed to be able to "feel" everything here.

Do you like it?

"Um!"

Chen Xue nodded vigorously.

"I like anywhere as long as I'm with my brother and mom."

Seeing the smiles on his family's faces, Chen Yifan felt that all the risks he had taken were worth it.

After settling his family in, he didn't immediately find a moment of peace.

He went to the study in the villa alone and locked the door.

The events in the Black Wind Gobi Desert were like a thorn stuck in his heart.

Mu Wanqing cannot be completely trusted.

But he needs absolutely reliable intelligence.

Yesterday, he had already contacted Luo Tian and arranged to meet at the "Wenxin Teahouse" in Hangzhou.

A glint flashed in Chen Yifan's eyes.

It's time to meet this "prophet" again.

Let's see if he's truly omniscient or just a pretentious fraudster.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Luo Tian.

I've arrived in Hangzhou.

He put down his phone, and his figure silently disappeared into the shadows of the study.

Chen Yifan walked through the bustling crowds of Hangzhou.

Soon, he arrived at a shop called "Wenxin Tea House".

As you push open the door, the aroma of tea wafts towards you.

He went straight into the private room where he had arranged to meet Luo Tian.

The smell of spoiled takeout mixed with engine oil instantly overwhelmed the aroma of the tea.

Inside the private room, a man with messy hair and huge dark circles under his eyes was hunched over a table, intently fiddling with a bunch of unidentifiable parts using a pair of precision tweezers.

Luo Tian.

This guy looks even more... than when we last met.

Unconventional...

He looked like he had just crawled out of a garbage dump.

Chen Yifan pulled out a chair and sat down, frowning as he spoke without any politeness.

"With that smell, how did they let you into the teahouse?"

Luo Tian's hand trembled, and a gear smaller than a grain of rice fell to the ground with a "clang".

"What do you know!"

He looked up as if he'd been electrocuted, his eyes bloodshot, and glanced around warily before lowering his voice.

"This is art! It's a spiritual practice leading to truth!"

"Alright, stop with your act."

Chen Yifan poured himself a cup of tea, his movements unhurried and deliberate.

"I'm short on time, so let's get straight to the point. Black Wind Desert, Qilin Group, three job change cards. What different information does your all-knowing brain have?"

Luo Tian looked at his "you'd better not waste my time" expression and curled his lip.

He carefully put away the parts on the table, treating them like precious treasures, even more so than he would treat himself.

"The news itself is worthless." His voice was hoarse. "Now, the entire underworld of the Dragon Kingdom knows that there are good things there."

Get to the point.

"The key point is that four people from that transport team survived, not three."

Luo Tian glanced around warily again, lowered his voice, and continued:

"The fourth person escaped back to Dragon City through the black market teleportation array the day after the transport team was destroyed, and took with him an S-grade rare job change card - [Tyrant]."

Chen Yifan's hand, which was holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.

Mu Wanqing, as expected, didn't tell the truth.

"So, the rumors circulating now are a trap?"

"It's a trap, but also an opportunity."

Luo Tian grinned, revealing a set of teeth that were yellowed from smoking.

"The remaining two cards are definitely still there. One is an A-rank strength card, and the other... should be the one you want, an S-rank agility card."

Chen Yifan paused slightly as he drank his tea.

"Your conditions."

"I love your straightforwardness!"

Luo Tian rubbed his hands together, a fawning smile plastered on his face.

"My condition is simple... take me with you."

"reason."

Chen Yifan thought about it and realized that he had tried his best before, but he still couldn't defeat his opponent.

In addition, this person possesses extraordinary intelligence...

It might work.

"I……"

Luo Tian was about to speak when Chen Yifan interrupted him.

"to be honest."

Luo Tian's smile instantly froze on his face.

He looked into Chen Yifan's eyes, which seemed to see through everything, struggled for a few seconds, and finally collapsed completely, like a deflated balloon.

"I...I'm facing a small funding gap for my graduation project."

He lowered his voice, his face contorted with pain.

"How small is the gap?" Chen Yifan pressed.

"Really... just a little bit..." Luo Tian held up three fingers, his voice barely audible.

Chen Yifan looked at him expressionlessly.

Luo Tian took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, slammed his hand on the table, and roared.

His voice even carried a strong sense of pride, as well as a sense of absurdity.

"Three hundred million!!"

"I borrowed 300 million through my own abilities, and those damn loan sharks actually sent their top-tier 'Bloody Debt Collection Team' to come after me!"

"Do you know the Crimson Cleanup Squad? They're the kind of perverts who skin people alive, turn them into limited-edition leather goods, and even give you an invoice."

Chen Yifan: "..."

Good guy.

Looking at the guy in front of him, he realized for the first time that he was still too timid.

He owes 300 million yuan, yet he's still alive.

"So, you're planning to run away?"

"What do you mean by 'running away'? Don't put it so harshly... I'm just a temporary technical partner and security consultant!"

Luo Tianyi corrected him righteously.

"The Black Wind Gobi Desert is such a hellish place, the terrain is so complex. Without me drawing you a map, you'd be delivering takeout to monsters!"

"I'll provide all the intelligence, route planning, and technical support. You! You're responsible for solving any troublesome issues that arise along the way!"

"make a deal."

Chen Yifan did not hesitate for long.

He believed every word Luo Tian said.

This guy is clearly trying to run away.

That sounds so high-sounding.

As for being used as a pawn?

It's still uncertain who's using whose gun.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Luo Tian's mood instantly brightened, and he smiled more broadly than anyone else. "To show my sincerity, I'll give you another free bombshell!"

"explain."

"There's a traitor within the Qilin Group. That beast tide was deliberately instigated."

"You mean, the one who got the job change card?"

"clever!"

Luo Tian placed the metal spider he had just assembled in his palm, letting it crawl around as it did so, his voice low and ethereal.

"So, this time, those going to the Gobi Desert include not only bounty hunters looking to make a fortune, but also... a 'cleanup team' sent by the Qilin Group, and some 'rats' who want to stir up more trouble."

"So... my dear 'partner'."

He looked up, a genuine smile on his face.

"You'd better... protect my life."

"in addition……"

"The intelligence fee for the rest... shouldn't you pay it first? It's not much... just five million."
