Chapter 204 Thief

Jiang Mian naturally had no idea that someone from the Jiang family in the imperial capital had actually sent someone to pick her up.

Even if she knew, she didn't want to wait in Exile Star for half a month for the other party to come.

It will take a month to wait back and forth.

But now Jiang Liang sent a message, and she already knew that the imperial capital had sent someone to pick her up, but she had also boarded the starship.

Jiang Liang: I came all the way here to pick you up, and you just left on your own?

Jiang Mian:?

Jiang Mian was surprised to see this message. Did she ask them to pick her up? And they came to pick her up without telling her, as if it was just a decision they made and she just had to accept it.

Jiang Mian: Did I ask you to answer it?

Jiang Liang:?

The conversation between the two ended in a bad mood.

On the warship on the other side.

Jiang Liang looked at the deleted notification and widened his eyes in disbelief. That guy actually deleted him?

Does she really want to return to the Jiang family in the imperial capital?

When Jiang Liang saw the news that Jiang Mian had boarded the starship back to the Imperial Capital Star, he subconsciously thought that Jiang Mian must want to return to the Jiang family in the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, why would she return to the Imperial Capital Star instead of returning to her home in the slums?

Land and houses on the Imperial Capital Star are extremely valuable. Where can she find a place to live?

By then she would be begging to enter the Jiang family. Now that he was kind enough to pick her up, she actually deleted him directly.

Jiang Liang was so angry that he said several good words: "Good, good, good!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhi looked at him puzzled.

"Nothing." Jiang Liang suppressed the unpleasant expression on his face and simply explained, "My sister from the slums. I wanted to pick her up, but she has already taken a starship to the Imperial Capital Star by herself."

"We can meet her at the service area." Lu Zhi naturally thought of this.

Jiang Liang had already thought of this and told Jiang Mian, but Jiang Mian ignored him and deleted him.

He didn't say anything about this, but just said: "Wait until the next service area, you can put me down, I will take another starship back."

When Lu Zhi heard his words, he could tell that he didn't seem to want to explain any more. He didn't ask any more questions and just replied with an "OK".

Service area.

Jiang Mian took Li Yan with him to look for food.

The other beastmen drank nutritional supplements and decided not to continue looking for food.

So Jiang Mian went down with Li Yan.

After all, it would take another half a month to reach the Imperial Capital Star. It wasn't like they were exiled to a starship and had to stay on it every day. Naturally, Jiang Mian couldn't stay on the starship every day, even though everyone on the starship was equipped with a sleeping cabin, which was quite cozy.

Nowadays, these starships carrying passengers will stay in the service area for one day and wait for their next departure the next day.

Now we just happened to stop at a new service area.

The warship that Jiang Liang and his crew were on also happened to arrive at this service area. After all, they set off several days earlier than Jiang Mian. It was a coincidence that the two starships happened to land in the same service area.

However, naturally, neither of them knew that the other was in this service area.

There are people coming and going in the service area.

The planets here are habitable for normal people without polluted air.

So the flow of people is relatively large.

There are also a lot of thieves.

Jiang Mian had just bought a candied haws, and before she could take a bite, she was bumped by a small body. She staggered forward a few steps, and the candied haws in her hand fell to the ground in an instant.

The child ran over recklessly and it seemed that he was not the only one who was hit by Jiang Mian.

There were many curses coming from behind Jiang Mian.

The child ran away without even saying a word of apology.

However, another child sneaked up on her and stole the gift from her pocket.

Last time, Jiang Mian put the gifts given to her by those two people directly into her pocket without taking them out. She didn't expect that they would be targeted by a thief now.

Wait until someone behind him shouted, "There's a thief! It's that kid from before! Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

After this voice was heard, everyone reacted and touched their pockets.

Some people had their hub spaces stolen, and some had their scattered belongings stolen.

Jiang Mian's hub space is the necklace on her neck, but she had put the gifts given to her by Qixu and Zhoubai into her pocket before, but not into the hub space. The child just bumped into it, so could he have stolen her things as well?

The moment the sound of "catch the thief" was heard, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Jiang Mian's mind, and he subconsciously touched his pocket. His heart skipped a beat, but he found it empty. As expected, the money was gone.

That was a gift someone gave her, and she hadn't opened it yet, so she didn't know what it was. Now that it had been stolen, she felt a little anxious.

Li Yan was helping her queue up to buy food in the store.

Jiang Mian felt that the store was a bit crowded, so she walked out first, and then bought some snacks here. She had just bought a candied haws, but before she could eat it, someone bumped into her and it fell to the ground. The gift someone gave her was also stolen.

I felt a little depressed.

She first said something to Li Yan on the computer, then hurriedly chased in the direction where the child had just escaped.

But the next second, Jiang Mian's attention was attracted by another little girl.

She remembered the little girl who happened to pass by her when she was bumped by another little boy.

At this time, the little girl quickly took something out of someone's pocket and put it into her own pocket. No one noticed as people were passing by. It was obvious that the little girl was a habitual offender.

Jiang Mian turned around and walked towards the little girl.

Her sixth sense told her that it must be the little girl who stole her things.

They are likely to be a gang.

One person attracts all the attention of the person being robbed, and the other person takes the opportunity to steal the things.

It's just that this little guy's hands were itching when he was not cooperating with the team. When he passed by others, he couldn't help but steal other people's things.

The little girl didn't know that she had been spotted by Jiang Mian, and she was still walking slowly and leisurely.

She targeted another person, but just as she succeeded, her wrist was grabbed by another person.

"Hey, little brat, give me back the things you stole from me." Jiang Mian grabbed the little girl's wrist and spoke expressionlessly.

The next second, the little girl suddenly struggled and cried out: "Help, human traffickers, there are human traffickers!"

Jiang Mian was shocked. Was the reaction so quick?

A tall man next to them, the man whose things had just been stolen, also turned his head to look at them.

The little girl immediately cried and begged the man for help: "Big brother, wuwuwu, save me, she is not my mother!"

The man paused, and looked at Jiang Mian with his deep black eyes.

Others around also looked over.
