After texting to confirm the situation with Zhuge Ling, Zhao Chunxue was heard berating Ye Qiu, which made Dongfang Qing laugh. She thought about bringing Zhao Chunxue along to teach Ye Qiu a lesson later.
"Ye Qiu, oh Ye Qiu, hmpf, even the people around you don't think much of you. It shows just how lousy of a person you are!"
Feeling secretly pleased, Dongfang Qing slowed her pace and walked alongside Zhao Chunxue.
Along the way, the two of them brazenly exchanged words about Ye Qiu's shortcomings.
Ye Qiu, known for his generosity, let it go in one ear and out the other, as if he heard nothing at all.
Over half an hour later.
The group arrived in the downtown area of the provincial capital of Guangdong Province.
After contacting Zhuge Ling again and confirming the location, Dongfang Qing imdiately flagged down a taxi, bringing Ye Qiu and Zhao Chunxue to the appointed place.
Upon arrival, amidst the crowd, Dongfang Qing spotted Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Ling, the brother and sister.
She was about to give them a signal to join forces against Ye Qiu when suddenly!
Vroom!!!
Accompanied by the roar of an engine, a motorcycle sped past Ye Qiu and the others. On it were two n; the one sitting at the back swiftly snatched a woman's bag from the roadside.
"Ah! My bag, my bag's been snatched!"
The woman, realizing what happened, scread and grabbed her child, ready to give chase.
The incident occurred so abruptly; the woman's child hadn't grasped what happened and, being suddenly tugged, fell to the ground and started crying loudly.
The woman was in a panic, thinking about the two thousand dollars in her bag, unwilling to just let it get stolen, yet worried about her child with scraped knees and unsure about what to do.
"Can soone help , please? There's two thousand dollars in that bag, it's important. Can soone help get it back, please?"
Helplessly, the woman held her child and looked around at the people.
"Sigh, just forget it. Those two thieves have been in the news lately, even the police can't deal with them. We can't possibly catch up with them."
"It's best to report it to the police. If they can get the money back, everything will be fine. If not, you'll just have to accept it as bad luck."
"I don't think it's very likely the money will be recovered. Those thieves have been too rampant lately."
Seeing the situation, the crowd shook their heads.
So wanted to help the woman recover her bag, but seeing how far the motorcycle had gone, they could only sigh repeatedly.
Just as everyone thought the stolen bag would not be recovered, suddenly, a calm voice erged.
"Stay here and don't move, I'll get your bag back!"
With that, Ye Qiu chased after the fleeing thieves.
"Thank you, truly thank you."
The woman looked gratefully at Ye Qiu but had little hope, as Ye Qiu wasn't like in movies where they'd commandeer a vehicle for pursuit but was running directly...
Seeing this, many people in the crowd could not help but chuckle.
"Haha, that's funny. Even if you're acting out of justice, you should use so common sense, right?"
"Exactly, they're motorbike thieves, and he's chasing on foot."
"This person is either drunk or out of his mind; it's truly ridiculous."
The crowd murmured to each other; no one believed Ye Qiu could catch up to the thieves on foot, nor did anyone notice that, as the woman thanked Ye Qiu, he had already disappeared.
The woman felt hopeless about her bag, thinking there was no way it could be recovered.
However, since soone had gone after it, she didn't leave imdiately, but rather stayed with her crying child, waiting.
At this mont, Dongfang Qing approached, squatted down, and smiled kindly at the woman's child, saying softly, "Little one, don't cry anymore, okay? If you stop crying, big sister can buy you so snacks!"
"Boo hoo hoo... boo hoo..."
The child, evidently frightened by the motorcycle thieves, couldn't hear Dongfang Qing's words, and cried even more loudly.
"There, there, don't cry... no crying..." Dongfang Qing was patient, gently stroking the child's head, and with a flick of her wrist, a fluffy little toy appeared in her hand.
"Hey little one, have a look! Big sister just perford a trick and conjured up a toy!"
Dongfang Qing continued comforting the child, preparing to perform a couple more little magic tricks to cheer the child up.
But, at that mont, suddenly.
Bam! Bam!
With two dull thuds, two middle-aged n were thrown over, the very sa motorcycle thieves from before.
At the sa ti, Ye Qiu handed the snatched bag back to the woman and smiled, "I've got your bag back. Be more careful next ti; it's best not to carry such a valuable bag alone."
"Ah?"
The woman was startled, utterly amazed, staring at Ye Qiu in disbelief, unable to fathom how Ye Qiu had caught up to the motorcycle thieves on foot.
And in such a short ti.
At most, half a minute?
The crowd of onlookers was also struck with unprecedented astonishnt. Almost everyone's eyes widened, and their mouths gaped, incredulously watching Ye Qiu.
"My god, how is this possible? How did he catch those motorcycle thieves?"
"This is too incredible, from the ti he chased them down to now, how long did it take? Just about half a minute?"
"It's terrifying, those thieves had already fled quite a distance when he started chasing them. Even with a vehicle, it shouldn't be possible to catch up in such a short ti, and he did it on foot in re seconds."
"In re seconds, not only did he catch up, but he also brought them back. He's practically a legendary speedster."
The crowd discussed and speculated, utterly baffled by how Ye Qiu managed it.
"What happened? Whose bag was snatched by thieves?"
As people were talking, a patrol police officer, who had received the report, arrived at the scene.
The woman, snapping back to reality, hurried to speak highly of Ye Qiu in front of the police. However, at that mont, the two motorcycle thieves rushed to the police first, angrily pointing at Ye Qiu, saying, "Officer, that man is the thief! We were just riding along the road when he flagged us down for directions, then stole our bag, and accused us of being the thieves!"
"Officer, don't listen to their nonsense!" The woman was infuriated, pushing the two thieves aside and taking out her ID from the bag, "Look, my ID is still in the bag, those two are the thieves!"
As she defended Ye Qiu, Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Ling, not far away, noticed Ye Qiu as well, and both made their way over.
