Chapter 31
“Speak human language.” Ji Ziming frowned when he saw the wreckage on the floor.
He was slightly perplexed. Mu Heng usually sat in one of the VIP rooms on the floor above, so why was he drinking here today?
After giving Ji Ziming a look, Mu Heng pointed at the four men, who were crouching in pain after getting a beating, and said, “Look at those few people.”
“Hm?” Ji Ziming’s brows moved slightly and he grunted in confusion as he eyed the four men who had bruises all over their faces and were cursing under their breaths.
“That’s supposed to be your work,” Mu Heng said exasperatedly. It was supposed to be a beautiful scene where the knight in shining armor would swoop in and save the beauty in distress, but the woman was so tough and valiant that she ended up being the one to teach these fellows a lesson. Seriously…
“…If there is nothing, I’ll leave first.” Ji Ziming, who could not fathom what Mu Heng was getting at, moved to leave this stuffy place.
However, Mu Heng stopped Ji Ziming from leaving by hugging his arm tightly.
However, although this was one of the largest entertainment hubs in the capital, it was really tough to find a shoe shop that sold slippers at an affordable price.
It was not that Pei Ge was unwilling to buy a pair of expensive slippers for Liu Yue. Rather… She was very broke! She barely had any money on her person right now.
After going to a few shoe shops and still not finding what she wanted, Pei Ge was already depressed, thinking, How about I piggyback Liu Yue all the way home?
“Catch that thief!” Just as Pei Ge was thinking that, a shriek from a woman attracted her attention.
When she turned her head to look, Pei Ge saw a man wearing a black T-shirt and a baseball cap. In the man’s hand was a pink handbag that was obviously not his.
Behind the man, a woman, wearing a flowery, white dress, was having a tough time chasing after him in heels.
Looking at the chasing-and-being-chased pair, it was obviously a scenario of a thief running away with the bag of a random shopper. However, no one stepped up to help along the way.
“Catch that thief!” The pretty lady shouted again, yet no one paid her any attention.
Pei Ge frowned in displeasure. When she saw that the thief was running toward her, she stuck out her feet and tripped him.
“Ouch!” As the thief had been running at a fast speed, he fell headfirst to the asphalt so hard that he started rolling around in pain.
Seeing this, Pei Ge quickly snatched back the handbag from his hand and started pounding the thief with it.
“You look so young! A healthy person like you, with both hands and feet intact, could’ve done any decent work! Why did you have to steal other people’s stuff?! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?!” Pei Ge loudly chastised as she continued to hit the thief with the handbag.
When the onlookers saw that the thief had been caught, they started crowding around the two immediately.
All of them nodded their heads in assent to Pei Ge’s scolding.
Pei Ge secretly rolled her eyes at these people who were giving off an I-told-you-so vibe.
“Hah… hah… hah…” At this moment, the person who had her things stolen finally reached the scene.
