An Yiqing frowned as she watched several grown men crying and wailing, their fear of death plaguing their visage, feeling frustrated within.
"Stop howling! Who is your big sister!" She massaged her temples in pain and said helplessly, "All six of you combined are almost two hundred years old, who is your big sister!"
An Yiqing extended her toe and gently kicked away the man pressing on her shoe, asking coldly, "What exactly do you know? I want the whole truth without missing a word!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Heroine, we really don’t know how we got here! We’re just ordinary street thieves with a bit of ancient martial arts background, so we’ve always had it easy in this line of work. But on the night of January the eleventh, we went to a bar and partied all night long. Seems like we bumped into someone, and after that, we don’t know anything. By the time we came to our senses, we were already tied up and brought here. Heroine, we’re telling the truth, please, miss, please let us go!"
"January the eleventh? How do you remember that so clearly?" An Yiqing asked with a cold voice.
"Th-that day was my birthday, so I remember it clearly. Miss, we really don’t know what happened, please spare us!"
An Yiqing’s brows furrowed tightly, perplexed.
Judging by the appearance of these thieves, they didn’t seem to be lying. Whether judging by the dilation of their pupils or their micro-expressions, these people indeed seemed to be clueless.
So, what on earth happened?
An Yiqing couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
After a while, when the thieves on the ground had cried themselves out of energy, An Yiqing finally snapped out of her chaotic thoughts.
She stood up, and under the frightened gazes of the several men, she reached out her hands and cleanly chopped them out with several hand strikes, rendering the bunch unconscious.
Amidst the puzzled stares of An Zhifeng and the others, An Yiqing squatted down and searched through the belongings of the thieves, as if looking for something.
Not long after, she nodded her head in satisfaction and slowly stood up.
"Ah Feng, take these men to the police station, hand them over to Tang Zhishan, then ask him to inform the media to sensationalize tonight’s theft. Make an example of them!" An Yiqing smiled coldly and spoke softly, "I want to see who else dares to cause trouble for me when these men serve as a warning!"
"Yes, miss!" An Zhifeng bellowed resoundingly, leading the other Blood Generals to drag the six unconscious thieves away.
Without further incident that night, by the next day, the news of the theft at the Yuyuanzhai exhibition blew through Xuandu City and even Xuanjin like a ferocious tornado.
Early in the morning, the news in Xuandu City reported the incident, exposing the faces of the thieves who had stolen from the Yuyuanzhai exhibition. According to the news, the behavior of these thieves was despicable, and to give an explanation to Yuyuanzhai and the general public, these men must be severely punished!
Everyone agreed with the punishment of these men. However, they did not anticipate that An Yiqing would engage in such a dramatic method of dealing with the situation by exposing everything to the media.
Seeing this, it appeared that the young miss of the An Family intended to make an example of them!
Everyone guessed An Yiqing’s intentions and praised her actions. After such an incident, those harboring evil intentions would likely abandon their plans.
Although the handling of the matter was straightforward and crude, it had to be said, An Yiqing achieved the effect she desired.
