“The mister’s wallet!”
She despised these greedy pickpockets the most!
“What wallet? Stop speaking nonsense!”
That young man was annoyed at her accusation and glared at her, hoping to scare her away as a warning to not butt into people’s business.
Unfortunately for him, Zuo Weiyi always liked to butt into people’s business!
He had arms and legs yet he still wanted to take an old man’s wallet, how shameless!
What a failure in society, the nation’s disgrace!
“Stop pretending, I saw you took it and put in your pocket.”
As she said that, she bent her body and reached for his pocket for the evidence.
Yet, before she was able to touch his pocket, the young man stood up and wanted to get off the bus to escape.
However, Zuo Weiyi acted faster than him. She stretched her hand and yanked the back of his shirt’s collar. Because he was caught off guard, plus the bus had started moving again, the young man violently fell to the ground.
Zuo Weiyi then took this chance and stepped on his chest. Without a moment of hesitation, she took out the wallet he had put in the left pocket of his shirt.
“Do you dare to claim that this is yours?”
The wallet seemed out of place when compared to how he dressed.
This commotion quickly attracted the attention of the other passengers. When all of them realized that there was a pickpocket, they stood up as well, pointing at him and calling him names.
There was even someone who was calling 110.
Seeing how the situation had turned against him, the young man immediately crawled up and ran with his tail between his legs
After he escaped, Zuo Weiyi handed the wallet back to the old man. “Your wallet, mister.”
He glanced at his wallet and raised his gaze to study Zuo Weiyi.
He took his wallet and looked at her again. “What is your name?”
Zuo Weiyi blinked and smiled. “I’m only helping, I don’t think you need to know that.”
“Just tell me. Who knows, maybe we’ll meet again?”
Zuo Weiyi was stunned by his words.
Meet again? That would be impossible.
Country Z was huge, plus she would only be using this bus for a few days. When Gu Yansheng returned, she would not have the chance to use it again.
Even so, Zuo Weiyi still told him her name.
“Zuo Weiyi.”
“Weiyi? What a name.” The old man smiled, his face was full of kindness.
Zuo Weiyi only grinned in return and returned to her seat after nodding at him.
The old man glanced at her one last time and exited the bus.
Looking at the bus that was driving away, he lowered his head with a smile.
Riding public transport was indeed interesting, it was only his first day yet he had met such a cute and polite lady, and a funny situation too.
***
The bus stopped, Zuo Weiyi took the lift and arrived at the Planning Department.
The workload on Wednesdays was not heavy.
Zuo Weiyi sat at her office desk, the weird scenarios flashed in her mind once again.
As she was zoning out, the manager of the department walked toward her.
“Zuo Weiyi, make two copies of this document and send it to my office.”
When she heard the order, she snapped out from her thoughts and took the document to the photocopy room.
When she stepped foot into the room, she instantly realized that there was a pool of water beside the photocopy machines.
With a frown, she looked upward. It seemed like the ceiling was leaking.
