Mr. Satan, let's meet tonight!

Chapter 373 The Thief's Real Target

From the moment she stepped into the study, Shang Xi's attention was focused on the man.

She was startled when she heard the familiar voice coming from the computer.

However, the resentful tone was actually quite funny.

She turned her head and smiled, "Good afternoon, Young Master Bei."

Although she and Kitano weren't exactly acquaintances, Kitano was one of the few relatively normal people she knew after her rebirth.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Si." Kitano waved back.

The way they address each other has clearly changed.

At this moment, Si Tingye also took pity on the person in his arms and shifted his gaze to the computer screen.

He smiled and said, "How could a single guy like you, Young Master Bei, understand what it means to be lovey-dovey? Besides, my darling and I will be in the honeymoon phase for the rest of our lives."

Upon hearing this, Kitano silently rolled his eyes.

Why do I suddenly feel like throwing up all the lunch I just ate?

It's terrifying! The once noble and aloof Mr. Si has gone down the path of ostentatious displays of affection and there's no turning back!

The man completely ignored the other person's childish behavior and continued, "The wedding invitations have already been sent to the city. You are welcome to attend our wedding banquet."

“Great! I’m planning to take a few months off after I finish up with things at the company, and a trip to the capital would be nice. But I have something important to discuss with you today.”

Kitano paused at this point.

He suddenly sat up straight, his eyes narrowing with a hint of danger. "The surveillance footage you asked me to check last time is in the results."

Upon hearing that this was about business, Shang Xi decided to leave first.

However, the man's large hand gripped her waist tightly, making it impossible for her to move.

Si Tingye pressed his thin lips to her earlobe, his voice low and husky, "Baby, he's talking about the surveillance footage from the city's valuables bank. Stay and listen together."

"……it is good."

Kitano picked up several comparative analysis charts from the table in front of him.

After glancing at it a few times, he looked up and said, "The pocket watch disappeared suddenly one night three months ago. The document in my hand states that... from the time the safe door was opened to the time the pocket watch was taken and then the door was closed, these three steps took only three seconds from beginning to end."

"Three seconds!" Shang Xi exclaimed in disbelief. "How is that possible?!"

The construction of bank safe deposit boxes for valuables differs from that of ordinary safe deposit boxes.

Not only do you need to enter the correct electronic password, but you also need to open the combination lock device, and finally use a key to completely open it.

These three steps must be performed in sequence, and an alarm will be triggered immediately if any one step is performed incorrectly.

Even the world's best thieves couldn't solve any of the steps in three seconds.

Kitano nodded. "That's the most baffling part. I went to check the safe myself, and there were absolutely no movable hidden compartments inside. So I think this matter is probably not simple. The owner of this pocket watch... may be the thief's real target."

Upon hearing this, Si Tingye's eyes grew even darker.

Because the matter was somewhat tricky, even his thin lips gradually pursed into a straight line as he pondered the situation.

A brief silence fell over the study.

Shang Xi frowned. "That pocket watch was a token of my engagement with Mo Yifan. My father once casually mentioned that it was something my mother left behind. If what you're saying is true, then... the thief might be a member of my mother's family?"
