Chapter 790: Chapter 787
He grabbed the man by the collar and scolded, “Nonsense, it was you who caused the chaos and bumped into me in the crowd just now, and then my wallet and the thief were gone.”
While speaking, he glared at the man’s body, scrutinizing him from top to bottom, and coldly said, “Hand it over quickly, or I will call the police!”
What mattered most wasn’t the amount of money in his wallet but, besides some of his identity information, there were other items, some things that were even more precious and important to him…!
The person he had caught looked angry too, bursting out defiantly, “I didn’t steal it, search me if you don’t believe me!”
As soon as he said this, the onlooking crowd suddenly watched the scene with anticipation, as if watching a drama unfold.
What now, was the thief stubborn until death, or had they caught the wrong person?
In the crowd, a slender figure stood, dressed in black, with shoulder-length, jet-black hair under a fisherman’s hat.
She watched the scene, her eyes faintly flickering.
Dongyuan Cheng didn’t dawdle after catching a glimpse of a sneer in the other man’s eyes, he directly let him search himself.
He was sure that the disappearance of his belongings was related to this person.
While the man rummaged through his clothes and deliberately took off his jacket swearing, he said, “I have nothing on me, this is a violation of my privacy rights, you owe me compensation for emotional distress!” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⸺fire.net
Indeed, he had nothing on him, so he promptly turned the tables and grabbed Dongyuan Cheng’s clothes, demanding compensation from him instead.
Dongyuan Cheng’s face turned ashen, his temples throbbing with anger.
His belongings were clearly stolen by this trickster, yet if not on him, then on whom!
Obviously, these people were all in it together.
He listened to the noisy voices around him, and as his brain was about to explode with the chaos, suddenly, he saw a tall, thin figure in the crowd, wearing glasses.
He saw the mocking curve on the man’s lips.
In a flash, Dongyuan Cheng remembered a tall, thin man wearing glasses, somewhat scholarly looking, who had directly bumped into him earlier, making him think they were both victims.
The next second, their eyes met.
The man with the glasses’ smile froze on his lips, and he quickly turned to leave.
Dongyuan Cheng gritted his teeth and immediately shook off the people around him, and chased after him without a second thought, “It’s you—with the glasses, stop right there!”
With a rustle, the crowd quickly parted to let him pass.
No matter what, it was obvious to everyone that this person had indeed been robbed.
The man with the glasses then quickly left, agile and swift with his movements, and just as he was about to disappear around a corner—
Suddenly, from among the bystanders, a foot stretched out…!
The tall, thin man with the glasses, frantic to escape, failed to notice the obstacle underfoot and suddenly flew out in a face-first tumble…!
As a result, a dark brown leather wallet also flew out, landing on the ground.
Rushing to retrieve it, just as he was about to touch the wallet, a pale hand beat him to it, picking it up first.
The tall, thin man looked up, only to meet the eyes of a young woman wearing a fisherman’s hat and a mask, revealing a pair of tea-colored eyes.
She was young but carried an air of mature composure about her.
