A week later, Miami International Airport.

It was just after noon, and the plane from Atlanta to Miami arrived in half an hour. A black Mercedes-Benz business car stopped in the waiting area. Xiao Yu lowered the window on the passenger side and dug out half a bag from the storage box. He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

After turning off the engine, Phoenix smelled the smoke, turned his head slightly surprised, and said with a half-smile, "I thought you didn't smoke."

"Smoking is one of the means of socializing. Psychological research shows that people are more likely to have a good impression of strangers who have the same hobbies. This is a compulsory course for thieves." Xiao Yu exhaled smoke into the open gap of the car window, brows slightly furrowed , seems to be very dissatisfied with the taste.

"It's just that there are some contradictions with the profession itself. For example, people who smoke regularly will have light yellow smoke stains between the index finger and middle finger, and the clothes are easy to leave odors. These will become a mark of a person, so I think Can smoke, but not addicted."

"Would you like one?" Xiao Yu shook the pack of cigarettes, under the shadow of the brim of the hat, those sly black eyes curled up with a smile, "Nicotine's calming effect can keep the mind clear and help improve the accuracy of judgment ~"

Phoenix took the cigarette case and threw it back into the storage box. "I'm a doctor. If you persuade the doctor to smoke, you won't be afraid that I will drop the scissors into your abdomen during the next operation?"

"It's just a joke, don't mind~" Xiao Yu said without sincerity. After a few seconds of silence, she whispered something as if talking to herself, "Fortunately, you are a doctor..."

The smile in Phoenix's eyes froze, and he reached out and touched Xiao Yu's head, "My mission is to ensure the safety of your lives to the greatest extent, and besides, Deer and I have known each other for ten years, and his life is also very important to me .”

Xiao Yu nodded.

Afterwards, the two stopped talking, Phoenix swiped his tablet to check the inspection results of the last few days, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, and slid lightly out of the car window——

Not far away was a teenager who was playing with a mobile phone, wearing a gray long-sleeved hoodie and jeans. Judging from his height and the development of exposed wrist bones, he was only twelve or thirteen years old. His body was very thin, and he wore a fat coat. Like a flour sack, the hem trailed almost to the knees.

The little guy is leaning on a load-bearing column with his head buried very low, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a very inconspicuous angle between the focus of the opponent's line of sight and the screen of the mobile phone, which shows that his focus is not on the mobile phone. Instead, use it as a cover to find the target.

How tender, still a child, Xiao Yu smiled from the bottom of her heart, rolled her eyes slightly and quickly determined the positions of several surveillance cameras around, as well as a few plainclothes hidden among the passing crowd. At the same time, the little guy Probably eyeing a suitable passenger, put the mobile phone in his pocket, and started to act.

"I'll wait outside to get some air." Xiao Yu put out the remaining half of the cigarette and was about to get out of the car.

Phoenix didn't raise his head, and directly reached out to stop him, "I'm not in the industry, and I know I shouldn't meddle in other people's business, shaw, you're so busy that you don't even have a break after you come back, you might as well close your eyes and be quiet if you're so busy. for a while."

"It's okay," Xiao Yu patted Phoenix's hand, "What if it's useful~"

After finishing speaking, he opened the car door, like a light feline animal, the moment the soles of the shoes hit the ground, all the aura belonging to the creature seemed to disappear instantly, and in broad daylight, the thieves who opened their hunting nets were like silent shadows, rubbing shoulders The couple of passengers who passed by didn't seem to notice that someone got off from the car beside them.

A look of astonishment appeared on Phoenix's face, he watched Xiao Yu pass through the crowd intently, and went around behind the thief as if nothing had happened but with a clear goal.

The hoodie thief, unaware, stalks a woman on the phone.

Xiao Yu quickly looked at the target selected by the little guy. The lady's purse was turned upside down, the zipper was facing backwards, and there were two large suitcases and a boarding case standing under her feet—this was a traveler, and Most likely going out alone.

As the distance approached, he began to be able to hear the content of the woman's call clearly. The logic of the other party's speech was a little confused, and the emotion was a little agitated. Xiao Yu observed her facial expression and could roughly judge that this person must have experienced some bad things. It's a matter, and I'm rushing to solve it right now.

A little bit of surprise floated in Xiao Yu's heart. According to the estimation of the distance just now, it is impossible for the thief to hear the woman's voice, and there are many passengers at the airport who carry a lot of luggage and travel alone. Judging that the opponent is a fat sheep that is very suitable for attacking? !

It's interesting~ A certain one made a silent sneer, glanced at some plainclothes people who noticed it out of the corner of the eye, tsk tsk, it's a pity that it's still young, but judging by its age, it should be considered very talented!

Xiao Yu casually took off the windbreaker and put it on his arm, and increased his stride to follow.

Within a few minutes, the thief had already gotten close to the woman. Just at this moment, a group of newly arrived passengers walked out of the terminal building. The spacious entrance area was cut off for a moment. The plainclothes people noticed that the surveillance vision was blocked, and adjusted their positions one after another. stand.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, the thief ran into confusion and bumped into the lady's back. In just a few seconds, he completed the whole action of tearing open the zipper, cutting the wallet, stuffing it into the hem of the hoodie, and clamping it with his thighs. Then he staggered. Stabilizing his body, he raised his head, showing a pitiful face with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up instantly——!

"Oh! My God!" The woman on the phone exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly turned to check the situation, only to see a child covering her shoulders with an aggrieved face, "Are you okay?!"

The little thief shook his head decently, sniffed and said, "I got separated from my father."

A trace of hesitation flashed across the woman's haggard eyes, and she hesitated to speak to the little boy——Xiao Yu smiled knowingly, people like her who are in a hurry and in a bad mood usually don't have the energy to help others, so it's like this!This little guy is quite thoughtful~ "I'm sorry, I bumped into you..." The little thief hangs by his side, his fingers curling up his clothes uneasily, and his whole body exudes the weakness of "I'm very sensible, I'm innocent, don't blame me" Breathing, said weakly: "I still have to find my father, so I'm leaving first."

"You can go to the staff for help." The woman looked at him apologetically.

The little thief nodded sensibly, just as he turned around, he heard a man shouting anxiously amidst the noise: 'Ron! The little thief felt guilty that something was wrong, but he still took a step calmly with a fluke mentality. In the next second, a pair of arms went around from both sides and hugged him tightly. The one who came out of nowhere The neurotic said emotionally: "It can be considered that I found you, Dad is so worried!"

Plainclothes: "???"

Thief: "!!!!"

Luo Yifan and Tang Shaoxin who had just left the terminal: "..."

Rhodes went crazy, "What the hell is Nima Ron?!"

Before the thief had time to figure out the situation, he felt the two hands on his body start to move up and down dishonestly. While muttering "the baby is not hurt", he took out the wallet and stuffed it back into the woman's satchel at a speed that ordinary people can't tell , and then gave each other a grateful hug.

Little thief: "..."

The little thief looked straight, and had no choice but to accept this weird setting.

After Xiao Yu expressed his non-existent gratitude, he wrapped the little guy tightly on his shoulders with a windbreaker to resist, raised his head and raised his chin at the three companions not far away, and then walked away very gracefully.

In the commercial vehicle, Phoenix opened the co-pilot's door.

Xiao Yu carried the man into the car, "How is it?"

Phoenix laughed so hard that he almost died, "Definitely!"

After a while, the other three got into the car, Xiao Yu looked out the window and said, "Drive first, those plainclothes people will be able to reflect even if they are stupid for a while, let's talk about it when we go back."

Phoenix hummed, stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, the commercial vehicle started to leave the airport and turned onto the return highway.

"Long time no see, Shaoxin—" Xiao Yu passed a hand to the back.

"Long time no see." Tang Shaoxin shook hands with him, "Because the time of this trip is uncertain, I need to explain clearly what will happen in Atlanta in the next few months, so I wasted a lot of time."

Luo Yifan: "When did you come back? The boss is going well?"

"The entrustment was settled on the first day, but the old bastard is very boring, and he used the details of the entrustment letter to delay me a lot of time, two days earlier than you." Xiao Yu noticed that the man covered by the windbreaker A certain kid trembled unnaturally, taking advantage of the situation and smoothing his hair through his clothes.

Then he stretched out his hand to Rhodes, looked at him with a smile in the rearview mirror, and said to Tang Shaoxin, "Why is this kid here? We, Aji, have to watch over the house and raise a dog, but we don't have time to accompany your young master." Play."

Shaoxin lit a cigarette, and said: "School winter vacation, if you insist on coming over to take a look, I'll bring him here. Don't worry, he won't follow us then."

Rhodes looked at his senior brother resentfully, but he didn't dare to refute, so he vented his anger on Xiao Yu, knocked off his hand with a slap, and said angrily, "What happened to that Ron?!"

Xiao Yu's mouth is damaged enough, so naturally he doesn't care about his hands, "He~ I picked it up at the airport, and I haven't had time to deal with it." As he said, he opened the windbreaker.

The little thief was also full of anger, but he heard from the conversation that the identities of these guys were ghosts, so he didn't dare to move. At this time, he really saw the crazy face that ruined his good deeds.

"You..." He frowned, feeling vaguely familiar with the guy in the peaked cap, "I seem to have seen you on TV?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Really?"

The little thief was not sure either, and nodded hesitantly.

"Is it the news channel sooner or later," Phoenix said meaningfully: "It lasted for about a week, so it should be regarded as a special follow-up report?"

Thief: "Uh..."

Tang Shaoxin added, "Later, the investigation has not progressed, and the public condemnation has become more and more serious. I remember that 36D beauty anchor swearing last weekend?"

Little thief: "If you say that..."

Rhodes said: "It's also in the newspapers. It's been in the headlines for several days, and it's almost blowing up. In fact, the original owner is a dead fellow who likes to play hooligans, cough! Dead pervert..."

"Well, I especially like the bathroom on the train." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Rhodes: "..."

Thief: "!!!!"

"Fuck!" The thief stared at Xiao Yu incredulously, "You are Shaw?!"

Xiao Yu looked at him in feigned shock, "Do you want to sign?"

Little thief: "..."

"Where is the Mona Lisa now?"

"Hmm... it's used as a wallpaper."

"Where is Josephine's diadem?"

"The last time I played with our honey, I broke it~"

"The fbi said that some citizens reported seeing you in Texas more than half a year ago. At that time, there was an accident at the Intercontinental Prison. Difficult! Say! Say?!"

"Son~" Xiao Yu pressed down a stupefied hair on the top of the thief's head, then let go, watching it bounce back by itself, "Do you know too much?"

Thief: "!!!!"

The little thief clutched his head and went completely mad, "Nimma, you are so awesome, why did you ruin my business?!"

"How many days have you been to the airport?" Xiao Yu asked.

Thief: "One week."

Xiao Yu: "How many times have you succeeded?"

Little thief: "Today is the third time."

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Same clothes, same technique?"

Little Thief: "...I am young, and no one will believe me if I pretend to be anything else, but the location I choose is different every time."

Xiao Yu patted his head, looked at him with a silly look, and said regretfully, "I thought he was a genius, but I just ran faster, so I'm blind."

thief:"……"

"As far as you did just now, there are a total of six cameras that can capture clear facial contours, and there are at least seven or eight plainclothes waiting to be caught in the crowd." Xiao Yu pinched his face, and pulled it like a prank. , "It doesn't look fake."

"Oh, thank you." The thief cast a weak glance at someone, and after a while he said very uncertainly: "You... just saw that I was almost caught, so you saved me?"

Xiao Yu blinked cunningly, "Do you think people like us are doing charity?"

The little thief felt cold in vain, looked around the people in the car weakly, and said, "That's it?"

"I need someone who is small and smart enough, and it is best to go with me," Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Then help me with something, you can negotiate terms with us, but you don't have the right to choose whether to do it or not."

The little thief was stunned, and instantly realized that this was a very tempting, but also potentially very dangerous deal, so how could he negotiate terms with this guy in front of him who was obviously much more experienced than himself?

"What's the best condition you can offer?" He couldn't make up his mind, so he planned to take a roundabout way to test the bottom line.

This kind of trick was almost as expected. The smile in Xiao Yu's eyes deepened, but his expression was very serious. After a long time, he didn't answer the other party's question, but asked instead: "What's your name?"

"Xia Zuo," the thief replied, "I don't have a surname."

"So... are you interested in becoming a real thief?"

His voice fell, and Yifan and Shaoxin, who understood Xiao Yu's intentions, were startled at the same time.

Tang Shaoxin was surprised: "shaw, do you want to accept him as a student?"

"Well," Xiao Yu said seriously, "This is the best condition I can offer."

Luo Yifan gave Xia Zuo a cold look, and said, "The age gap between you and him is only a few years, which means that when you are in full bloom, this kid's wings will almost be hardened, and you are not afraid that he will become the next Cornell... Schuman?"

Xiao Yu said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If students dare to rebel, they just need to do it in advance. If their teachers were aware of this back then, there would not be as many things as we do now."

His voice is very soft, his tone is loose and frivolous, coupled with those eyes that can smile even when he is not smiling, that kind of breath that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and both good and evil makes people feel An indescribable chill.

Xia Zuo swallowed, and swallowed the "I do" that almost blurted out.

"Actually, it would be nice to ask for some money," Xiao Yu saw that he was hesitating, and comforted him patiently: "I can give you enough time, and you must think carefully before making a decision, because once you make a choice, you cannot go back on your word. The world of thieves has always been a back and forth."

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the commercial vehicle stopped in front of the courtyard of the coastal villa.

Phoenix had to rush back to the hospital after seeing off the person. A group of people entered the door with a few pieces of luggage. Archimedes had already prepared the guest room and meeting room. Seeing that the person finally arrived, he pressed the button of the coffee machine. The living room is filled with the aroma of coffee beans.

After packing up their things, Xiao Yu, Luo Yifan and Tang Shaoxin entered the study room on the second floor. Rhodes sat on the sofa sullenly. Next to him was Xia Zuo, who was one size smaller and hadn't made up his mind yet. The two stared at each other idly , Watching Archimedes shovel shit for Loki.

At the same time, the study—

Luo Yifan and Tang Shaoxin sat down on the sofa, Xiao Yu walked around behind the desk and sat on the high-backed armchair that usually belonged to Lu Cen.

Tang Shaoxin said: "Before coming here, Yifan said there is another one, where is the Italian?"

Xiao Yu said: "His name is Victor Bellugia, and he has already gone to Las Vegas."

"So early?" Tang Shaoxin was a little surprised, "Didn't the power of attorney say that the time was set in July this year?"

Xiao Yu: "There are still a few months, but considering that the other party is Teacher Schumann, and the Venetian Casino itself has a complete anti-thousand system, if we wait until then to arrange infiltration, the success rate of the plan will become lower. Very low, if I want to completely destroy Kevin’s property in Las Vegas, I must break in from the inside in advance to ensure nothing goes wrong.”

"We need to understand the operation of the casino, so we must have someone who can not only get in touch with tourists, but also go deep into the interior of the casino. Victor will be recruited through the regular recruitment of the Venetian Hotel and become the most regular dealer. It will take a while for the necessary information to be fed back.”

Luo Yifan said: "That is to say, the next plan will be arranged according to Victor's news?"

Xiao Yu nodded slowly, Tang Shaoxin took a sip of boiling coffee, and said with great interest: "I'm curious what your definition of the word 'total destruction' is? In my opinion, directly blowing up the vault after transferring the cash would Easier."

Hearing this, Luo Yifan's eyes darkened suddenly, Xiao Yu noticed this detail, smiled maliciously and said: "Don't worry, none of the people I invited here are cheap, especially for the entrustment under the organization. The one billion U.S. dollars can't meet the expenses, and besides, those gamblers are innocent~"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Shaoxin, have you ever thought about how much money will be lost in one night if every gambler can win every hand during the peak tourist season with the scale and visitor flow of the Venetian?"

Tang Shaoxin was stunned.

"If we increase the odds through black-box operations, is it possible for Kevin to go bankrupt overnight?" Xiao Yu tapped the keyboard with his fingers flying, and the projection switched, and he continued: "Of course, we are not doing charity. The gamblers' accounts would be modified, and eventually the money would flow into the thousands of accounts I opened in various European countries, so no matter how much we ended up playing that night, Kevin would have to pay double the price."

"Common entertainment items in the Venetian Casino include dice, blackjack, roulette and various gambling machines. We need to determine the suppliers of casino dice, cards and roulette balls, mix in as workers, and make special props. As for the gambling machines that need to rewrite the program through intrusion——" Xiao Yu smiled, "Leave it to Lulu~"

That night, outside the ward, Xiao Yu stood in front of the door as usual, the cold blue light of the instrument flickered on and off, reflecting Lu Cen's sleeping face brightly and dimly.

"Fenghuang said that mood swings are not good for Lulu, and he asked me to go in and see him after a while." Xiao Yu pressed his palm on the glass and said softly, "So I only stand here for a few minutes every day."

Luo Yifan leaned against one side of the wall, turned his head to look at Xiao Yu's side face dyed with light blue fluorescent light.

"I have a question."

"You said."

"If I hadn't joined the organization and partnered with you, there would have been only you, Lu Cen, and Archimedes on the cruise that night, and no one would have been able to obtain the biological information that unlocks the password door..."

This was a question that weighed heavily on Yi Fan's mind. Because of his intervention, the trajectory changed. He was very curious about Xiao Yu's true heart, but felt that such a question was cruel to Xiao Yu, so he changed his words in half: " Forget it, don't talk about it."

"It's okay." Xiao Yu came over and leaned against the wall next to Yi Fan, leaning her head against his shoulder, "Actually, I have thought about this problem too."

"At that time, the gap we opened could only allow me to pass through alone. Lulu also said to let me go. If I couldn't open the password door in the end, I think I would probably be persuaded by him, and then we walked through alone. way, find someone who can help me, and head to Las Vegas."

"—I will become a real bad guy, and let everyone be buried with him..."
