Chapter 385: 【385】The Real Ocean-Going Bandit_1
If it weren’t for the system, Tang Feng would never have guessed that the old man before him, who looked as if he was on his last legs, was actually a notorious bandit with a bounty of five hundred thousand offered by the officials.
You see, the bounties on Ma Wo and Chen i were only two hundred thousand.
And a bounty of five hundred thousand was definitely indicative of a notorious bandit.
This further piqued his curiosity; what had this old guy done to warrant such a high bounty?
He decided not to make a move for now and to observe carefully first.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
...
At that mont, Wu Qishu could be seen tapping the ground with his white cane, groping his way forward.
However, right in front of him was a stall.
This stall was rather special, displaying sharp weapons like knives, swords, and spears.
In other words, if he kept going, he was likely to bump into the stall.
If he fell, he could very well get injured by those sharp weapons.
Many bystanders saw this scene but all kept their distance, not wanting to get involved in the ss.
There were also so with more malicious thoughts, curious to see the consequences if Wu Qishu fell into the stall.
Just as Wu Qishu was about to step onto the stall, a kind-hearted girl suddenly rushed out and pulled him back.
“Old gentleman, it’s dangerous ahead; you can’t go any further.”
The girl wasn’t old, probably only around seventeen or eighteen, with a pair of glasses perched on her nose, looking like the very image of a model student.
On her back, she carried a pink backpack that looked quite heavy.
“Is that so? I really thank you, miss, you are truly kind-hearted,” Wu Qishu quickly expressed his gratitude to the girl.
The girl waved her hands frantically, “Old gentleman, please don’t ntion it, it was a re trifle.”
“You’re such a good girl, you will surely be blessed,” Wu Qishu thanked the girl profusely with a series of bows.
Many bystanders around also looked at the girl with admiration.
This scene was just so harmonious.
To care for the old as one’s own and to care for the young as one’s own; isn’t this what our countryn have been pursuing for thousands of years?
Now, it’s fully exemplified in this old man and the young girl.
Many people had smiles of satisfaction on their faces.
However, Tang Feng was an exception.
Because behind this seemingly harmonious picture, sothing happened that made his blood boil with anger.
Even when Ma Wo and Chen i had stolen so many people’s belongings, he had never been so angry.
But now, he was simply furious.
Because just now, while the girl was supporting Wu Qishu, this old scoundrel had taken the opportunity to steal a jade pendant she wore around her neck.
The girl was obviously a naïve student, and yet so kind-hearted; when everyone else chose to stand by, she stepped forward to help him.
Even though it was a ploy of his own making, it still showed the girl’s kindness.
But this old creature didn’t even feel grateful, instead, he had the audacity to carry out such a despicable and shaless deed.
How could Tang Feng not be angry?
Yet, the old man’s performance was far from over.
At this mont, Wu Qishu suddenly clutched his chest and cried out in pain, “Ah, my… my heart disease seems to have acted up… could you… could you help grab my dicine? It’s in… it’s in the pocket on my left side…”
You had to admit, the old man was a good actor; as he spoke, he slowly collapsed to the ground.
The crowd of onlookers drew back, not wanting to get involved.
But the girl stayed by his side, searching frantically in Wu Qishu’s pocket and soon found a bottle of Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills.
However, when she opened the cap and shook it, she found it was empty.
“Grandpa, there’s no dicine left in this bottle.” She was so anxious that she started to cry.
“Ah? Gone? The heavens are taking away…” Wu Qishu couldn’t help but lant, his face filled with despair.
The girl was frantic, pleading with those around her, “Brothers and sisters, is there a doctor among you? Co and save this old gentleman, he… he’s not going to make it…”
The crowd looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.
Although they didn’t know Wu Qishu’s identity, adults are always very cautious when facing such situations.
After all, there have been frequent incidents in the news of good Samaritans getting scamd, so they all adopted the mindset of not involving themselves, choosing to stand by.
The girl was crying out of desperation, but also at a loss as to what to do.
“I am a nurse, let take a look.”
At that mont, a pregnant woman with a protruding belly stepped out of the crowd.
The girl brightened up imdiately and hurriedly made way for the woman.
“I’m not in a good state to move, you do the CPR for the old man, I’ll guide you from the side.”
The woman approached, but with her big belly, it was hard for her to kneel, so she directed the girl.
“But I don’t know how,” the girl hesitated.
“Never mind, I’ll teach you, it’s very simple. First, put your hands together like this, then…”
The woman instructed the girl step by step on how to perform chest compressions.
The girl had no choice but to make do and began performing CPR on Wu Qishu.
But Wu Qishu was only pretending, aiming to bait more people so he could continue his thievery.
Now with the pregnant woman standing there, he had no opportunity to make a move.
He had to continue feigning death, breathing more and more rapidly as if he were about to breathe his last.
The pregnant woman had no choice but to ask the girl to move aside and awkwardly knelt down herself to perform CPR on Wu Qishu.
Watching her drag her heavy body to the ground to rescue a stranger, the surrounding crowd felt sowhat ashad.
A student and a pregnant woman—both vulnerable groups—were now actively trying to save a man they did not know.
While the onlookers, healthy and fit, chose to watch, making them seem selfish and self-interested by comparison.
But Tang Feng felt no sha at the mont, only mounting anger.
Wu Qishu, this old thief… no, he was a beast, was now reaching into the pregnant woman’s pocket.
The pregnant woman’s phone and wallet quickly ended up in his own pocket.
Tang Feng felt a surge of rage welling up and hitting the crown of his head.
To not bring such a person to justice would defy all notions of natural law!
