His face, already slightly distorted by nervousness, became even more ferocious and terrifying, and he cursed profusely, "You ignorant bitch, how dare you block my path to wealth! I'll teach you a lesson today!"
After saying this, the thief gritted his teeth, supported himself on the ground with one hand, and protected his stolen goods with the other, trying his best to get up from the ground quickly. However, perhaps because he was too panicked when he just escaped, or perhaps because he was frightened by Wang Xiaolan's sudden appearance, in any case, before he could fully stand up, he suddenly felt as if the muscles and bones in his legs were pulled out, and he had no strength at all.
Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled "thump" sound, and the thief fell heavily to his knees on the hard ground again, raising a cloud of dust.
He endured the pain and cursed: "Fuck, stinky, stinky..."
Just as he was about to burst into curses, Wang Xiaolan kicked out with lightning speed. This kick was so powerful and heavy that it streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning, and it kicked straight at the thief.
There was a dull thud, and the thief's body suddenly tilted, and he lost his balance in an instant and fell straight to the ground. He was like a punching bag that had been knocked down, and he was in a mess.
After falling to the ground, the thief instinctively hugged his head with both hands, fearing that he would be attacked more violently. At the same time, his body curled up into a ball, trembling like a frightened hedgehog.
"Auntie! Please, have mercy on me and stop hitting me! I know I'm wrong. I surrender, I really surrender..."
The thief at this moment no longer had the arrogance he had before. Instead, his face was filled with fear and pleading, and his voice was trembling like a candle in the wind.
Wang Xiaolan laughed, stretched out her hand, and said, "Just take out the money."
The thief stared at Wang Xiaolan with a sly look in his eyes, a flattering smile on his face, and said in a tone that was almost flattering, "My dear sister! Look, I just opened my business today, and I'm still short of money! How about this, we split this thing 50-50, and each of us gets half? Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly!"
As he spoke, he carefully observed the other party's reaction, as if he was afraid of being rejected.
Wang Xiaolan stared at the other person with a firm and sharp gaze. She didn't take the other person's words to heart at all. She still stretched out her hand without hesitation and said in a firm tone, "Give it to me! Stop talking nonsense. I don't want to hear any excuses."
The thief on the ground was very upset by his uncompromising attitude.
The thief showed a hint of hesitation and reluctance on his face, but he finally sighed helplessly and gave in. He gritted his teeth, glared at Wang Xiaolan fiercely, and then lowered his voice and said, "How about this, let's split it 30/70. You take 70% and I only take 30%. Is that okay?"
Wang Xiaolan was not moved at all. She crossed her arms and looked at the thief with indifference.
The thief saw Wang Xiaolan's resolute attitude and became more and more anxious. At this moment, the sound of catching thieves came from the alley, and the sound was getting closer and closer, which made him even more panicked.
The thief's forehead was covered in sweat. He frantically stuffed the stolen items into his arms and shouted anxiously at Wang Xiaolan, "Oh my! My dear aunt! I've already divided it up like this, why don't you agree? If you keep going like this, I'm really going to kill you!"
Wang Xiaolan said, "If you don't take it out, I'll cripple your hand."
As she was about to lift her leg, the thief saw her and exclaimed, "No, auntie, it's my bad luck. I'll give you everything, okay?"
The thief's face was full of fear, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. He reached into his pocket and fumbled for a long time, and finally took out a dirty yellow wallet.
The thief held the wallet tightly, his eyes revealing extreme reluctance. He seemed to be still hesitating whether to hand over this hard-earned "trophy", but reality did not allow him to think too much.
In that brief moment, a flash of inspiration struck the thief's mind. He thought to himself: Why not use this opportunity to escape? By throwing the dirty water on this despicable woman, not only would I successfully divert everyone's attention, but I'd also have the opportunity to slip away! At this thought, the thief's nervous expression was instantly replaced by a hint of cunning.
However, he never expected that just as he was about to throw the wallet away, Wang Xiaolan was so quick-witted that she kicked the thief directly in the body, while angrily scolding him, "Humph! With the little tricks you have in mind, do you think you can hide it from me?"
The sudden kick caught the thief off guard. He stumbled and fell to the ground. He struggled to get up and run, but it was too late. The moment he fell, the people who had been chasing him finally arrived, panting. They quickly surrounded him, trapping him tightly in the middle, forming an impenetrable wall of people, making it impossible for him to escape.
At this time, an old lady was crying out breathlessly: "My money, my life-saving money..."
Wang Xiaolan looked closely at the old lady in front of her, her heart trembled suddenly, and she was stunned for a moment.
Her eyes widened, staring at the other person in disbelief. A memory quickly flashed through her mind—wasn't this the person who had given false testimony on the train earlier? Oh my God! What a coincidence! This world is so small, to actually meet her here again. At this moment, Wang Xiaolan felt as if she had been struck by an invisible force, and she was stunned.
"If I had known it was her, I shouldn't have helped her get back that damn wallet!" Wang Xiaolan said inwardly with regret.
At the same moment, the wrinkled, gray-haired old lady's cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp, staring closely at the worn wallet in the thief's hand. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, like a ray of light in the darkness.
The old lady did not hesitate and rushed forward at lightning speed. She stretched out her hands full of blue veins and snatched the wallet from the thief's hand.
The old lady quickly opened her wallet and carefully counted the bills inside. When she found that there was not a single bill missing, a smile appeared on her face.
Before she could say "thank you", she saw Wang Xiaolan in front of her. In an instant, the expression on the old lady's face froze, as if time had stopped.
She stammered, "How, could it be... it was, it was you?"
Wang Xiaolan smiled sarcastically and said, "If it's not me, then who else could it be? We are really destined to be together. It turned out to be a thief who stole your money. You shouldn't suspect that I am in cahoots with the thief, right?"
The thief said at this time: "Old lady, I am in cahoots with her. Go and report her!" Then he stood up and was about to run away.
