"Forget it, people like you are too serious and boring." Qi Man was rarely embarrassed and simply kept silent.

There was a silent silence between the two of them. Qi Man couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly asked, "Hello, how long do we need to wait?"

"Please wait patiently..." The staff member's signature smile.

But before she could finish her words, the staff member who was picking up the goods came over and whispered something in her ear. Her face immediately fell, and without even saying a word to Qi Man, she stood up and went backstage.

About ten minutes later, the front desk staff came back with red faces.

She glanced at Qi Man, walked over to Xiao Song, and whispered something. Xiao Song followed her to the side.

About a minute later, Xiao Song came back and the staff member's face looked much calmer.

Qi Man observed and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"Collection No. 3 was stolen." Xiao Song said calmly.

"What?!" Qi Man exclaimed. How could he say the most shocking thing in the calmest tone? Are all the people around Yi Yichen weird?

She immediately called Chu Mu, but was stopped by Xiao Song: "Ms. Qi, Mr. Yi is having dinner with Ms. Chu right now. It's inconvenient to disturb them."

Qi Man was stunned. How could a meal be worth one hundred million?

Qi Man ignored him and continued to dial. However, Xiao Song snatched her phone away, changing his usual gentle and warm demeanor and saying forcefully, "Secretary Chu, it's inconvenient to disturb you right now."

"You are not allowed to make phone calls. I'll walk there." Seeing that Xiao Song didn't let go, Qi Man walked towards the elevator door.

Xiao Song stopped her, and Qi Man responded: "Stop saying Chu Mu and Yi Yichen are having dinner and can't be disturbed."

Xiao Song smiled and said, "This time I want to say that the collection will have a tracker and won't be lost."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qi Chang sighed.

But just when Qi Man was about to relax, the staff brought bad news: "The tracker has been blocked. The people at the auction house don't know where the collection is. They only know that the last tracking address was on Huangpu Avenue."

In a corner of the banquet hall, Chen Shaoting was listening to the conversation between the two.

When he heard the collection had been stolen, he stepped forward and asked, "Where was the collection last traced?"

E·shine China President, Chen Shaoting?

Why is he here?

Qi Man complained inwardly.

"On Huangpu Avenue, not far from the hotel." Seeing Chen Shaoting asking about the lost collection, the staff thought he was Yi Yichen's man and told him the truth.

"How long has it been since the last time you tracked me?"

"Only four or five minutes." The staff thought for a moment.

"How are you handling this now?"

"I've called the police and contacted the insurance company."

"Do you know how he left?"

"A shabby old van with the license plate number Zhu Axxxxxx."

"Call me if you have any new news. I'm Chu Mu's friend." After leaving his phone number, Chen Shaoting headed straight for Huangpu Avenue.

Qi Man was shocked. She only knew that Chen Shaoting and Chu Mu were schoolmates, but she had no idea they were friends. But she didn't think much about it. The most urgent thing was to solve the problem.

She offered, "I'll go with you."

Without waiting for Xiao Song to speak to the auction house staff, Qi Man pulled Chen Shaoting and chased after him.

The car sped along, and Chen Shaoting and Qi Man searched for the truck on the busy streets. Finally, they saw it in the middle of Huangpu Avenue.

Qi Man pointed to the truck in the lane next to her and said, "Where is it?"

Chen Shaoting quickly changed lanes to keep pace with it, stepped on the accelerator, and soon caught up with the truck. But the truck seemed to have sensed his pursuit and also stepped on the accelerator, changed lanes, turned, and went down the overpass.

The truck entered the narrow street and weaved madly. Chen Shaoting kept close, not giving way. The tires of the two vehicles rubbed against the ground, making a piercing screeching sound, as if even the air was trembling.

As the two cars were rubbing against each other, Qi Man rolled down the passenger window and tried to grab the man's collar to force him to stop his truck.

Seeing this, Chen Shaoting cooperated with Qi Man's actions and adjusted the speed of the car.

The man in the cab was wearing a colorful scarf, a black baseball cap on his head, and a pair of black-framed glasses that were very eye-catching.

Qi Man leaned out of the passenger window and pulled off the man's baseball cap.
