The store had a wide variety of buttons, and Zhou Qiqi was focused on choosing them, casually placing the snakeskin bag at her feet.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as I turned around, a man in black suddenly darted out, grabbed the bag, and ran away!
Oh no! My pajamas are still inside!
Without a second thought, Zhou Qiqi almost instinctively took off after him.
But with her limited physical abilities, she was no match for the thief.
He was out of breath after running only a few steps, watching as the thief ran out of the wholesale market and onto the main road.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Thief! Thief!"

Lei Ming frowned. "It looks like they're catching a thief. I'll go help!"
Li Hongfen quickly grabbed him.
"Hey, don't go! It's too dangerous! Anyway, it's not like we're the ones being stolen! Who cares!"

Li Hongfen was so anxious that she stamped her feet. Watching Lei Ming's figure run further and further away, she gritted her teeth and chased after him into the alley.
