Chapter 48 Trapped Between Heaven and Earth
It was a success. Wang Yun stood atop the 450-meter-tall skyscraper, shedding his drenched suit as the live broadcast briefly went dark.
He donned the pre-arranged gear that was set aside and took a casual seat at the edge of the building. Once again, he placed the live broadcasting chip on him and activated it.
The view up here isnt half bad, Wang Yun murmured, a satisfied smile gracing his face.

Whoa, whoa, 666! Those skills, arent they insane?
Is this what you call vocal mimicry? This is pure deception! Those gunshots sounded exactly like the real thing.
Shutting windows, killing the lights, setting off smoke alarms, and lets not forget that laser pen. His maneuvers are godly!
Now thats what you call a Master Thief. The IQ on this guy is off the charts.
He didnt head downstairs but went up to the rooftop instead. If he gets caught now, where would he even escape to?
Big Brothers moves are jaw-dropping, but the real challenge is the escape. The inspection team is already in motion.
Wang Yuns extraordinary set of actions not only pilfered the invaluable Starry Sky necklace but also set the live chat ablaze.
These maneuvers alone could catapult him to legendary status. But the most crucial part was yet to come. He had to make his escape.
***
Holy cow! This Wang Yun guy is unbelievable, isnt he? Hes actually got the Starry Sky necklace! Executive Producer, what do we do next? That necklace is worth a fortune.
At that moment, inside the producers room, a staff member who had witnessed Wang Yuns feat couldnt contain his astonishment.
While Wang Yun has indeed acquired the necklace, escaping will be a tall order this time. Once we apprehend him, the necklace will naturally be recovered. Notify the Chairman of Lingzhu Group. As a token of apology, were willing to offer them an ad slot during the live broadcast, the executive producer stated.
Given the skyrocketing popularity of the Skynet Operation show, placing an ad in the program didnt come cheap. It could easily run into the tens of millions. In a way, this served as the program teams method of damage control.
What if Wang Yun manages to escape? Do we just ask him to hand it back? the staff member hesitated, articulating his concern.
Its not an option for him to escape. Since Captain Hong Feng has committed to assisting Zhang Xingchen, rest assured hell see the mission through to its completion. Wang Yun wont be able to get away, the producer said confidently.

Captain, weve located Wang Yun on the 89th floor. Something has happened at the banquet there.
Captain, Lingzhu Group has just alerted the program team. The Dazzling Starry Sky necklace, valued in the hundreds of millions, has been stolen.
A series of astonished voices filled the command center room at that moment.
Wang Yun has actually infiltrated Nansu Plaza? And hes managed to steal Lingzhu Groups Dazzling Starry Sky necklace worth hundreds of millions?
Upon hearing these updates, Zhang Xingchen looked visibly stunned. He took a deep breath, Lock onto his position with the surveillance cameras immediately.
Wang Yun has obstructed the camera using chewing gum. Hes likely headed for the emergency stairwell, Skyhawk continued his report.
From his position, Captain Hong Feng immediately began coordinating the effort, Nansu Tower has four elevators. Station four of our officers inside these elevators and keep them there. Seal off the elevators. Brother Zhao and the other three, exit the elevator immediately. If Wang Yun is taking the stairs, he would have descended no more than five floors by now. Seal off the emergency stairwells. Ensure hes trapped above the 84th floor and initiate a floor-by-floor search.
Act immediately as per Captain Hongfengs instructions! Without a moments hesitation, Zhang Xingchen barked the orders.
Captain, weve already left the elevators and are sprinting toward the emergency stairs on the 84th floor.
Weve sealed off all four elevators and will rendezvous with Brother Zhao and the others in less than three minutes.
The officers from the third inspection team quickly chimed in, confirming their actions.
Excellent. Lock it down tight. If we can contain him above the 84th floor, hell be trapped. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, Zhang Xingchen said, his face alight with excitement. Standing up, he couldnt help but whisper, The moment you spot him, take the shot.
***
Even if they catch him, all credit goes to Captain Hong Feng.
If it werent for Captain Hong Feng, our Big Brother wouldve definitely escaped by now.
I just dont get it. What on earth is he doing on the rooftop now that all escape routes are blocked?
In the livestream, viewers were firing off a barrage of comments.
***
Dont worry, Captain, well apprehend him this time, guaranteed, members of the inspection team confidently assured.
Upon hearing this, a small smile appeared on Zhang Xingchens face. He let out a sigh of relief and said, Today, we put an end to Wang Yuns life of crime, as well as to my own torment.
Ha, seems like Captain Xingchen has quite a vendetta against Wang Yun, Shen Hao chimed in, grinning. But after today, you should finally be able to move on.
Zhang Xingchen smiled and nodded, leaning back in his chair while keeping his eyes glued to the capture screen.
Hong Feng observed the scene from his spot, lightly tapping his fingers on the table.
First, play back the footage where we spotted Wang Yun, he suddenly ordered.
Um, whats going on, Captain Hong Feng? Zhang Xingchen looked puzzled.
We have to make sure there are zero mistakes, Hong Feng responded, his face expressionless as he lost himself in thought.
If he was part of this operation, then a successful arrest had to be absolutely guaranteed.
No room for error.
Because he was Hong Feng.
