Chapter 256: Two hundred and fifty-five, thief Chapter 256: Two hundred and fifty-five, thief Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen had originally planned to visit the headquarters of the Black Group that evening, but Liu Shanyue dragged them to the busiest pedestrian street in Country Y.
“Shall we queue up to go to the top of the tower to enjoy the view?” Liu Shanyue pointed at the crowd not far away that was lining up. Going to the top of the tower to enjoy the view was one of the special features of this pedestrian street. From the top, one could take in the surrounding scenery at a glance. She loved the feeling of looking down on everything from above.
Seeing Liu Shanyue’s excited face, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen didn’t want to dampen her spirits and nodded. The view from the top of the tower was good, but it was nothing compared to the experience of viewing the scenery from atop a flying sword.
The three joined the back of the queue and slowly moved forward with everyone else. The weather was good today and it was the weekend, so the line was especially long.
Liu Shanyue let Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen stand in front, while she took up the rear. She was an adult and naturally had to ensure their safety.
Feeling soone tugging at her bag from behind, Liu Shanyue frowned and pulled her bag to the front. She knew there were a lot of pickpockets in Country Y, but this was her first encounter. In the past, when she visited Country Y, she generally didn’t go out at night.
The person behind her didn’t seem to plan on letting her go and kept pulling at the strap of her bag, trying to snatch it away.
Unable to bear it any longer, Liu Shanyue turned around and glared fiercely at the person, “What do you want?” She had seen brazen people, but never soone this brazen. She had already moved her bag to the front, yet he was still trying to forcefully steal it.
The thief laughed carelessly, “Give the bag, or I can’t guarantee that you’ll leave this street unhard.” He was part of a gang that specialized in stealing from tourists who ca from abroad. He wasn’t afraid of being discovered because that was their thod: stealing undetected and if discovered, they just robbed openly.
These tourists from abroad, unfamiliar with the place, basically didn’t dare to resist. A few threats were usually enough to make them hand over their possessions willingly.
Liu Shanyue hesitated as she glanced at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. She wasn’t worried about herself, but she couldn’t let the two children get hurt. This man looked like he frequently did this kind of thing, and he surely wasn’t alone.
With that in mind, Liu Shanyue slowly handed her bag to the thief.
The thief smiled smugly, reaching out to take the bag, but before his hand could touch it, soone snatched it away.
Turning to look, she saw a man with his hand wrapped in gauze had taken the bag. The thief’s face darkened, “Give the bag!” This guy was looking for trouble, daring to steal his loot.
The man paid no heed to the thief and kicked him hard in the abdon.
The thief was sent flying several ters and landed on his backside on the ground.
“Here’s your bag,” said the man as he handed the bag back to Liu Shanyue.
“Thank you!” Liu Shanyue took her bag back.
The man smiled and shook his head, looking at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, “Thanks for the dicine that day.” He didn’t know what dicine the little girl had given him, but he knew his injury had healed quickly, and now he didn’t feel any pain at all.
“No need to ntion it,” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen recognized the man when they saw him; he was the one who was bitten by a shark at the Beach.
“My na is Liu Haijian, I’m here touring Country Y, are you too?” Liu Haijian smiled as he looked at the trio. His greatest passion was traveling, capturing the local customs and cultures of different countries and docunting them.
Liu Shanyue nodded and glanced at the thief who had already left, worriedly saying, “That person seems to have gone to call for reinforcents. Should we leave this place?” She had always heard that nights in foreign countries could be chaotic, and today she realized it was true.
“Alright,” Liu Haijian agreed. Although he knew so kung fu, he wouldn’t be able to handle too many people, especially since he was still injured.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen didn’t say anything and followed Liu Shanyue and Liu Haijian towards the pedestrian street exit.
“There they are!” With a loud shout, a dozen n wielding clubs charged towards Song Yan Ning and the others.
Liu Shanyue’s face changed dramatically, and she quickly shielded Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen behind her.
Liu Haijian assessed the dozen or so n surrounding them, thinking about how to handle the situation. He had already considered the consequences when he intervened, but since Song Yan Ning and the others had helped him, he couldn’t just stand by and watch them be bullied.
Passersby scattered in all directions upon seeing this scene. They were all too used to such incidents; staying out of it was the safest option.
“Was it you who hurt Mike?” A muscular man with bulging muscles stepped out from the crowd, coldly eyeing Liu Haijian. They were notorious on this street for their ruthlessness and unreasonable behavior, and anyone who hurt one of their own would pay a painful price.
“It was who hurt him; it has nothing to do with them. Let them go, and you can do whatever you want with ,” Liu Haijian knew they wouldn’t let him off.
“I’ll give you the bag if you let us go just this once,” Liu Shanyue took off her bag from her shoulder. Right now, her priority was to ensure the safety of everyone present. As for these thugs, she would call soone to deal with them later. It was improbable for her company to thrive in Country Y without having so connections.
“Nobody’s leaving today,” snarled the muscular man, coldly looking at Liu Haijian and the others. How could they easily forgive soone who had attacked one of their own? As for the valuables on these people, they had been his from the start; it was all the sa whether he took it now or after beating them.
Qin Yushen stepped out from behind Liu Shanyue.
“Xiao Shen,” Liu Shanyue grabbed Qin Yushen’s hand and shook her head at him. These guys were clearly desperados, and she didn’t want Xiao Shen to get hurt. She would try to negotiate with the thugs as much as possible.
“I’ll be fine,” Qin Yushen smiled confidently, withdrawing his hand, and moved next to Liu Haijian, “Leave these guys to .”
Liu Haijian looked at Qin Yushen, “Don’t act rashly, they all have weapons.” There were a dozen of them, and they surely couldn’t beat them.
Qin Yushen shook his head, took a step forward, and kicked, sending the smirking muscular man flying away.
Seeing this, the others quickly raised their baseball bats and attacked Qin Yushen.
“Xiao Shen,” Liu Shanyue, frightened pale, was about to step forward.
Song Yan Ning held Liu Shanyue’s hand back, “Aunt Qin, don’t worry, he’s fine.”
Reacting quickly, Liu Haijian stepped forward to help, but before he could act, those who had attacked Qin Yushen were all down on the ground.
Liu Haijian was shocked, his eyes wide open, looking incredulously at Qin Yushen, “That was incredible!”
Liu Shanyue also stood stunned, watching the scene unfold. How could Xiao Shen be so powerful?
