But Sun Xiang only dared to grumble in his heart.

Even though he was a son-in-law of a prominent Great Family, he wouldn't dare to confront his superiors directly.

After all, this affects his progress.

"Director, there are more and more people. We can start stealing now," the officer filming the video reminded him.

Ma Chang said seriously, "What are you talking about? Public Security do isn't stealing, it's called reminding someone."

"Yes, just a reminder."

Ma Chang gestured for silence and took a small step forward.

He quickly reached into a deer-shaped pocket, gave it a gentle turn, and a mobile phone notification popped up.

"The Director is awesome!"

"Director, you're fast."

"The Director is a master thief."

Hey, are you trying to flatter him?

He's slandering me!

A bunch of police officers quickly started flattering him.

This infuriated Sun Xiang even more, as all this flattery clearly belonged to him, the team captain.

The old man buying pig's trotters suddenly changed his expression, "Holy crap, where's my phone?"

That old hag is still after my phone, damn it.

The Director, all smiles, patted the old man on the shoulder, "Sir, your..."

"I'll confess everything!"

"Cell phone..."

The old man's gesture of covering his head with his hands completely baffled Ma Chang.

Stealing a phone and getting loot?

The Director was secretly pleased, but immediately said sternly, "Speak quickly, what have you done? Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."

"It wasn't my fault at the massage parlor last time, the roast chicken smelled so good... I couldn't control myself."

Director: "..."

Bah! They thought it was a Second-Class Merit!

However, the Director had no intention of letting him off the hook and quickly contacted his family to bail him out.

When the Director returned the phone to him, the screen lit up.

The entire screen was covered in white, almost shutting down the Livestream Room.

The Director smirked and continued searching for his next target.

Go for it, it's you I've chosen!

The Director immediately took a liking to the older woman in front of him, who was weighing large Vermicelli.

Under the live broadcast camera, the Director secretly slipped his hand into his pants pocket.

A patterned wallet slowly emerged.

The moment the woman turned around, the Director shrugged off and slipped his wallet into his pocket.

The Livestream Viewers found it hilarious.

Does the Director have a criminal record while he's at the station?

[That hand speed is beyond my reach, even as a young person. The Director is probably still single.]

"Director, you're still going strong! I'm a thief, can I learn some skills from you?"

[This lady is hilarious! Buying vermicelli? Did her wallet get stolen?]

At that moment, the police officer holding the phone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Director, the municipal party committee sent us gifts!"

The Director shuddered, and the few remaining hairs on his head began to flutter in the wind.

"The Municipal Party Committee!"

"It's done! Haha... Director, I've succeeded!"

What does it mean for the municipal party committee to give you gifts?

This represents a tacit affirmation that one is absolutely certain of getting into the department.

"Xiao Li, please thank the Municipal Party Committee for me. But I'm working right now and can't be distracted." The Director played up his public image again.

At this moment, the Director was full of energy, and he felt that his typing speed had increased significantly.

Sun Xiang, who witnessed everything, nearly ground his back teeth to powder.

Damn old man, all of this should belong to me.

I'm going to tell my wife, waaaaah...

Municipal Party Committee Office

Fang Tang was watching Xu Yi's live stream, but he saw Ma Chang's Sha Wujing head in the stream.

He immediately became interested and switched to Ma Chang's Livestream Room.

Zhang Mu looked at Fang Tang with surprise, "You can send gifts on this live stream?"

"Yes, that's great. Director did a very good job. He not only raised public awareness but also improved the government's image. Our Hong City will be the first Civilized City again this year, and he deserves a lot of credit."

So I thought I'd send him a gift as a token of my appreciation, and then I'll arrange his new position.

Zhang Mu nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. I'd like to give Xu Yi some too."

Huh? That brat Xu Yi is actually in the same frame as Director, that's really rare.

The Director still had a smile on his face as he watched the older woman.

The older woman was also watching him, seemingly lost in thought.

"Auntie, have you forgotten..."

"Not a month."

Director: "???"

I have a husband.

"???"

"Sha Wujing, are you cosplaying?"

"..."

Pfft~

A group of police officers behind them couldn't help but burst out laughing.

They are professionally trained, unless they absolutely cannot resist...

[This lady is hilarious!]

[Just tell the older woman to spend less time in internet cafes.]

[Does this older woman spend a lot of Xiaohongshu?]

The Director's face darkened. "Auntie, is this your wallet?"

You stole my phone!

"No, we're conducting Anti-Pickpocketing..."

"Just say you want my contact information, you little rascal."

"..."

Finally, the woman left a note and hurriedly left, leaving the Director still bewildered in the wind.

Even as he left, he kept looking at his phone and typing.

"Girls, does anyone understand? Today is another day of Goblin ~"

The Director silently noted down the old lady's appearance, and planned to invite her over for tea another day.

After adjusting my mindset, I continued to remind others about their belongings.

Clearly, there are still many normal people.

He stole three more in a row, earning flattery and applause in return.

Suddenly, the Director's eyes lit up.

He saw three handsome men and beautiful women not far away.

Especially the two girls, their figures and temperaments far surpass those of first-line female stars.

People with good looks attract attention regardless of age.

The Director smiled. "We've been testing middle-aged and elderly people, let's test the younger ones now."

The officers echoed their agreement.

"Brother, why are you just showing us around and not buying any groceries?"

Xu Yi felt incredibly pleased, basking in the envious glances from those around him.

Yes, yes, I love how jealous you all are but dare not say anything.

"Sis, I'm comparing the prices of vegetables at different stores to save money."

Huang Lu lowered her eyes, "Brother, is this how you've been all these years?"

[Guilt Points +200]

Wrong...

"Brother, there aren't any prices listed on these dishes?"

"... Then don't worry about it."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up, "There are a lot of people over there, the atmosphere is... the food must be good, let's go check it out."

With that, Xu Yi grabbed the two women and headed over.

"Excuse me, excuse me. I'm traveling with two girls, so it's not very convenient. I hope you can understand."

[Negative Emotion Points +50*15]

The glares from those around you were practically spitting fire. You really deserve to die!

Bringing two stunningly beautiful women with you!!

The point is, it's just grocery shopping, why would you bring such a beautiful woman to a crowded market?

Even if I have to sell my house, I still have to take them to a five-star Hotel for dinner.

Xu Yi looked at them with utter contempt, calling them a bunch of old bootlickers.

The exorbitant bride price is all because of you sycophants disrupting the market.

"Bro, I want to eat chicken."

"Okay, then I'll make you a chicken."

"Boss, how much for a Three-Yellow Chicken?"

"They're all beautiful women, and it's free."

You old simp! Don't you want your business anymore?

"My stall's business has improved since those two beautiful ladies came, so I don't need to pay," the Boss explained happily.

Shady businessman!!

I'll use my newly learned Cloud-Touching Hand to steal two of your Quail Egg right away.

Suddenly, Xu Yi felt a hand sneakily slip into his pocket.

With his Mastery of Cloud Touching Hand, he knew everything.

Masaka!!

Could it be... that I ran into a competitor?

Hajitou... you even steal from your own kind?

Xu Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately came up with a grand plan to earn Emotion Points.

Xu Yi then maintained a calm expression, pretending he knew nothing.

He simply leaned back slightly and casually flicked his hand.

The Director was engrossed in stealing when he caught a glimpse of a fleeting shadow, but paid it no heed.

It's normal to have floaters as you get older.

The phone was almost completely stolen!

The Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they were the ones stealing the moment.

They were already prepared to mock Xu Yi.

Zhang Mu, inside the Municipal Party Committee Building, frowned in dissatisfaction.

"As someone with Military Bloodline, this level of vigilance alone isn't enough."

More practice needed!!
