As dusk gradually fell, the crowds at the market gradually dispersed. Jiang Baizhi and Qu Qingdai both methodically packed up their stalls, preparing to end their busy day.
At this time, Jiang Baizhi walked up to Qu Qingdai with a smile on her face and said gently, "Sister, dinner will be ready soon. Do you want to go shopping with me?"
Qu Qingdai thought about everything that was about to happen, but with a smile on her face, she politely declined Jiang Baizhi's invitation. She said gently, "No, I'm going back now. I'm tired after a long day. Thank you for your hard work. I'm looking forward to the dinner you'll make."
Jiang Baizhi smiled modestly and said, "Okay, sister, I'll go buy the vegetables myself." After that, she turned and left.
In fact, she only invited Qu Qingdai symbolically. She didn't really want Qu Qingdai to accompany her to buy vegetables. Because when she bought vegetables, she would bargain with the sellers. She just wanted to show all this alone so that the audience would like her more. She didn't want Qu Qingdai to take away her shots.
Meanwhile, Qu Qingdai made a completely different choice from her previous life. In her previous life, she accompanied Jiang Baizhi, watching her effortlessly bargain with the vendors while buying groceries. She sincerely praised Jiang Baizhi, earning her a good impression with the audience. But back then, she was just a useless person cheering on from the sidelines, completely unaware of how much the livestream audience loathed her.
While she was carefully selecting vegetables for Jiang Baizhi, Jiang Baizhi's momentary negligence allowed the thug to steal all of her money. Jiang Baizhi panicked and secretly told Qu Qingdai about her helplessness. Seeing her in such a state, Qu Qingdai felt so distressed that she gave all her money to Jiang Baizhi while avoiding the camera, which led to a series of subsequent events.
Qu Qingdai stood there quietly, and the various scenes that Jiang Baizhi was about to face emerged in her mind. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.
Then, she slowly turned around, took firm steps, and left without looking back. She knew that Jiang Baizhi's fate was about to change, and she would watch it all unfold slowly as a bystander.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi leisurely entered the market. With a sweet smile on her face, she spoke eloquently to the camera, explaining in detail and vividly how to select and sell various vegetables. As she spoke, she carefully and attentively selected the vegetables, seeming to be immersed in a magical world.
At the same time, the evil-minded scoundrel lurked around the market like a wild beast waiting for its chance, secretly searching for the right moment to strike. His cunning eyes darted around, constantly scanning the surroundings, not missing any possible flaws.
Suddenly, the gangster saw Jiang Baizhi walking towards the stall where the crowd was the most concentrated. His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come.
He moved quietly, like a nimble cat, silently approaching Jiang Baizhi. His movements were extremely cautious, trying not to attract anyone's attention. As he approached Jiang Baizhi, he keenly noticed that the attention of the people around him was drawn to the goods on the stall. It was the perfect opportunity to strike.
So, taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, he thrust out his sinister hand with lightning speed, quickly and accurately reaching into Jiang Baizhi's pocket and snatching out her purse. A smug smile flashed across his face the moment he succeeded, but he quickly concealed it. He feigned indifference, quickly turning around and blending into the crowd, then slowly and leisurely walking out without attracting anyone's attention. His movements were so skillful, as if he had done this countless times before.
Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi, after buying her groceries, was about to pay when she felt around to find her wallet missing. Her face instantly turned pale as paper, and she panicked as she began to search anxiously, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
The audience in the live broadcast room also quickly noticed Jiang Baizhi's abnormality, and they all commented in the barrage to guess what was wrong with Jiang Baizhi.
[What's wrong with Xiaozhi? She looks so panicked!]
【Did you lose the money?】
"Is anything wrong? I'm so worried about her!"
What on earth happened?
[This doesn't look good...]
For a moment, the barrage was filled with voices of concern and doubt, as if the entire live broadcast room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Here, the staff noticed Jiang Baizhi's panic and walked over to ask, "Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you? You look a little uneasy."
Jiang Baizhi was suddenly startled. She subconsciously bit her lips and tried to stay calm. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart, but the panic surged in her heart like a tide and could not be calmed down.
She lowered her head slightly, avoiding the staff's inquiring gazes, and silently reminded herself to stay calm and not let others see her flaws. She clenched her fists tightly, trying to control her emotions.
She forced a smile, even though it seemed a bit forced, but she still tried to appear nonchalant. She slowly raised her head, pretending to be relaxed, and said to the staff, "It's okay, I just feel like I've bought enough and it's almost time to go home."
Jiang Baizhi controlled her emotions. She really didn't want anyone to find out her money had been stolen. She worried that if she were discovered, her hard-earned popularity would be completely destroyed, and her image and career would be severely impacted. She secretly thought to herself, planning to go fishing again tomorrow to earn money.
