Chapter 49

Chu Ying's words indeed had an extraordinary effect; Wen Jing's beautiful eyes gradually brightened, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Which house are we going to steal from today?"

"Which families in Green Hill Town are wealthy?" Chu Ying's lips curled into a cold smile.

Wen Jing counted them off on her fingers, "The biggest thug in Green Hill Town is Fat Head Ma. All the shops in town have to pay him protection fees regularly, so his family must be rich. There's a contractor in the West Gate, known as Town West, who is also wealthy. Yuan Shuifeng in the East Gate, and in the South Gate... However, the richest person is still the town mayor, Zhang Gang. Green Hill Town has been listed as a poor town in the province for several years, and it receives government subsidies every year, but the common people don't benefit much. Zhang Gang is in charge of this area, so you can imagine where the money goes."

Chu Ying looked at Wen Jing as if she were a monster, "Apprentice, I find it strange how interested you are in these things, and you know them so well!"

Wen Jing gave a smug look, "Don't worry about that. Just tell me which house?"

Chu Ying found himself increasingly puzzled by this policewoman. The fact that she owned a Hummer indicated she was wealthy, yet she was content to be a police officer in a small town. However, her role as a police officer seemed to be just a title; she seemed more enthusiastic about stealing.

Over the years, Chu Ying had encountered many rich second-generation individuals. To seek thrills, some engaged in robbery, theft, or even drugging female celebrities. They did whatever seemed outrageous and unconventional.

Chu Ying remembered protecting a wealthy heiress from an island nation who had a habit of stealing, so her family opened many malls in Southeast Asia for her to steal from.

"Are rich second-generation individuals all born with a different nature?" Chu Ying thought bitterly. Ordinary people struggle for their daily meals, while these people seek pleasure. This world is truly unfair.

"You haven't said which house yet!" Seeing Chu Ying deep in thought, Wen Jing became impatient.

Chu Ying sighed and said slowly, "Of course, it's still Zhang Gang's house. We know the place well, and it will be easier to steal from."

Wen Jing was taken aback, "Didn't you steal from him last time? After that, Zhang Gang probably won't keep valuable things at home. Let's change the target. What about Fat Head Ma's house? I've had my eye on that fat, big-headed guy for a long time!"

Chu Ying smiled, "I didn't say we had to steal money, right? Your skills are still too poor. Let's warm up first, and use Zhang Gang's house as a practice ground."

Seeing that Chu Ying was really planning to teach her lock-picking, Wen Jing was overjoyed and said excitedly, "This kind of thing is more fun at night. It's not even noon yet. Since we have half a day, why don't you teach me now?"

Chu Ying nodded, "Of course, but before that, we need to prepare. Let's buy some locks, and I'll start with the basics."

Wen Jing chuckled, "I thought of that already. Xuan Xuan and I went around town and bought two of each type of lock. They're all in the trunk!" As she spoke, Wen Jing got out of the car.

Chu Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had seen all kinds of women, but never one like Wen Jing. This girl had no air of a well-bred lady and instead had a bit of a streetwise attitude. He also got out of the car.

Wen Jing had already opened the trunk and pointed to the various locks, saying proudly, "What do you think? I prepared quite well, didn't I?"

Chu Ying was speechless and could only nod, "Not bad. If you can open all these locks, you'll have a solid foundation..."

Before Chu Ying could finish, Wen Jing had already taken a lock and handed it to him, "Then why don't you teach me quickly?"

Chu Ying looked around, looking uncomfortable, "Miss, this is a busy street. You're quite famous in Green Hill Town. Do you really want to learn here?"

Wen Jing, who had only been in Green Hill Town for a short time, was already well-known for her beauty. The news of a policewoman joining the police station had spread quickly. Indeed, passersby were already smiling and greeting her, especially taking a closer look at the lock in her hand.

Wen Jing's face turned red, and she quickly closed the trunk, "Why don't you teach me the theory first?"

Chu Ying shook his head, "That won't do. Theory must be combined with practice to be effective."

Wen Jing looked around and noticed a small hotel nearby, "Let's get a room." She paused, then said confidently, "With my intelligence, I can learn it in an afternoon!"

This suggestion suited Chu Ying perfectly. He had been racking his brain to find a way to get closer to this policewoman apprentice, but he didn't expect Wen Jing to suggest it herself. He couldn't show too much excitement, so he pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, a hotel room is quiet, which will help you focus on your hearing."

"Then let's pack up these locks and take them to the hotel." As she spoke, Wen Jing folded the leather bag containing the locks into a handbag and said, "You carry it, let's go!"

Chu Ying pursed his lips but decided to be accommodating, as he had a chance to be alone with the policewoman. After Wen Jing parked the car, he carried the heavy handbag, and they headed to the hotel.

Green Hill Town was not wealthy, and the hotel business was not good. It was broad daylight, and there were few guests. The hotel owner, seeing Wen Jing in her police uniform, thought she was there to inspect the rooms and quickly brought out the registration form, smiling, "Officer Wen, are you here to inspect the rooms? All the guests are registered. Please take a look."

Wen Jing asked, "Are there any vacant rooms?"

The hotel owner was taken aback, looked at Chu Ying, and then smiled knowingly, "Oh, you want to get a room!"

Chu Ying said, "Yes, we want to get a room... for business." He deliberately elongated the last word and glanced at Wen Jing, but she didn't catch his drift and showed no reaction.

The hotel owner, seeing a policewoman and a handsome man, became even more attentive. Being on good terms with the policewoman would be beneficial for his business, so he said, "A standard room is 80 yuan, but I'll give you a discount. Just 50 yuan!"

Wen Jing, recalling the hotel owner's expression, realized he had misunderstood and said sternly, "We are on official business, no discount, and don't spread the word. If the mission fails, you'll be held responsible too!"

"Yes, yes!" The hotel owner quickly agreed. He didn't care about the details as long as he made money. Since they didn't want a discount, he was more than happy to comply.

Wen Jing didn't register, gave the hotel owner 100 yuan, took the room key, and went upstairs.

The hotel owner stopped Chu Ying, who was about to follow, and pressed a soft package into his hand, lowering his voice, "This is a complimentary gift from the hotel. I hope you... hehe!"

Chu Ying knew it was a condom without looking, smiled, and said, "Thanks," then went upstairs.
