Yu Zexiao was momentarily bewildered. A thief? Where was there a thief? He immediately looked down at his own bag; his wallet was still there. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed that the old lady he first asked suddenly pointed her arm at him!
"Catch the thief! That’s the thief!"
She had been observing for a while and noticed that Yu Zexiao kept pulling at other people’s bags. Once caught, he pretended to ask where the supermarket was—it was just a cover-up!
What an audacious thief! Especially since the people around here are all seeking medical treatment; he was stealing life-saving money! A thief appearing here is truly despicable!
As she shouted, quite a few people around paid attention. Even though it was getting late, it was still early, and many patients and their families were nearby. As soon as they heard the commotion, they immediately turned to look at him!
"A thief? Who?" Yu Zexiao never in his wildest dreams thought someone would associate him with being a thief! He looked around for a while and suddenly realized that those people were closing in on him—their expressions unfriendly.
He was taken aback and pointed at his own face, incredulously asking, "Me?"
Even in his shock, he still lowered the brim of his hat, not letting others see his face.
Perhaps because he "confessed" implicitly, many people immediately rushed over. Several daring young men sprinted forward without hesitation, followed by a few older folks who had previously been victims of pickpocketing.
"Damn thief, I had my money stolen before!"
"My phone was also stolen, catch the thief!"
"Catch him, take him to the police station!"
In the end, all the shouting coalesced into a single command:
The crowd was instantly charged with emotion, and Yu Zexiao’s response was—
He wasn’t scared, it was just a reflex. Are you kidding? A superstar getting caught and taken to the police as a thief? If this got out, he’d undeniably be the headline news tomorrow! Moreover, why was he asking for directions in the first place? To buy sanitary pads for his wife. He hadn’t even bought them yet, and he already felt a bit guilty!
But as soon as Yu Zexiao started to run, everyone else seemed to get an adrenaline rush and charged after him!
What was this? The thief feeling guilty! No more words needed, just chase him!
With the sound of shouting, a group of people immediately pursued him. Yu Zexiao sprinted desperately in front, with a large crowd chasing behind, making the scene appear rather dramatic. Especially since Yu Zexiao was running with all his might at the front, terrified of being caught!
Yu Zexiao kept running until he was nearly out of breath. He swore this was the most embarrassing moment in his life to date!
Had he known this, he should have revealed his identity when first confronted, better than running his legs off now!
A few youngsters, hearing the shout to catch the thief, also joined the chase. They ran pretty fast. At a corner of a street, Yu Zexiao ran too fast, stumbled, and nearly got caught by someone who almost grabbed his shoulder! It scared him into a cold sweat!
