Chapter 205: Catching a Thief

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Shu stared straight at Jiang Chen, as if she was looking for the answer to all her questions. As Jiang Chen slowly let go of her hand, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. In the end, he revealed a melancholic smile.

Yuan Shu asked him, “Jiang Chen, can 1 listen to you play ‘Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix’ again?”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, but he still smiled and said, “Okay.” After thinking for a while, he continued, “In a few days. After we finish filming these two days, I’ll play it for you.”

Yuan Shu nodded. She looked as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she held it in. “Let’s go back.”

Yuan Shu had already stood up and was about to leave when Jiang Chen suddenly stopped her. “Yuan Shu.”

Yuan Shu turned back to look at him. This scene seemed to have happened somewhere before. She had once turned back to look at someone like this, but she couldn’t remember who it was.

Jiang Chen just smiled and said, “I’m fine.”

Yuan Shu’s attention was attracted by the person outside the window. Then, she frowned and looked out of the window with a serious expression.

Seeing her expression, Jiang Chen followed her gaze and looked out of the window.

There was a night market street outside. The street was crowded and lively.

Jiang Chen noticed that there was a long line in front of a stall selling eggs and hemp buns. A girl was carrying a pink backpack.

The zipper of her backpack was a little loose. Behind her, there stood a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask. He had the brim of his hat lowered and was secretly pulling up the girl’s zipper.

However, the girl was very lively. From time to time, she would jump around. One moment, she would play with her friend standing in front of her, and the next moment, she would swipe her cell phone. The man was worried that he would be discovered, so he was very careful and slow.

When Jiang Chen saw the man’s movements clearly, he realized that Yuan Shu had also discovered the thief. That was why she frowned. However, when he turned around to look at Yuan Shu again, there was no one behind him.

He hurriedly walked away from the coffee table, but he only caught sight of Yuan Shu walking out of the cafe.

Yuan Shu was wearing canvas shoes that were very convenient for her to walk in. In addition, she had been training and had martial arts skills, so she walked faster than ordinary people. In the blink of an eye, she was already on the street.

Without a word, Jiang Chen left two hundred-yuan bills and immediately followed her out.

When he walked out and found Yuan Shu again, Yuan Shu was already standing a meter away from the man. She pulled out the whip at her waist and wrapped it around the man’s wrist.

“Who is it?!” The man’s wrist hurt from the whip and he tried to retract his hand, but his hand was entangled by the whip and he couldn’t retract it, so he shouted, attracting the attention of the people around him, including the girl he had stolen from.

Everyone looked at Yuan Shu and the man and started discussing.

Jiang Chen hurried over and said to the girl who had been stolen from, “Miss, this man stole your things. Hurry up and check if there’s anything missing from your bag.”

The girl immediately took off her backpack. Seeing that her backpack had already been opened, she was so frightened that she quickly rummaged through the things inside. Her friend helped her carry her bag.

When the man heard the word “steal”, he immediately pointed at Jiang Chen and Yuan Shu. “Don’t talk nonsense! You were the ones who hit me for no reason!”

Jiang Chen said with a sneer, “Then why did you put your hand in his backpack?”

The man thought of an idea. “1 saw that her bag was unzipped and wanted to help her pull it. 1 didn’t even touch the bag, but you guys claimed that I stole something! You guys wronged me. You have to apologize to me!”

After checking her bag, the girl looked at the three of them in confusion. Then she said to Jiang Chen, “There’s indeed nothing missing in the bag.”

Yuan Shu couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with such a shameless person. She exerted strength in her hand and wrapped the whip even tighter. A red mark immediately appeared on the man’s wrist, but blood didn’t flow, causing his palm to turn pale.

“All!” The man screamed in pain. “How dare you hit me on the street! Someone, please help me call the police!”

When the crowd heard this, they immediately took out their phones to call the police.

Yuan Shu sneered. “Alright, let the police investigate and see if your fingerprints are on the girl’s bag.. If you didn’t touch the bag, you shouldn’t be afraid of being investigated!”
