Chapter 79: Why Is It You? (3)
On the other side, Zhao Youlin did not know she had unintentionally exposed herself, causing one more person to keep an eye on her.
Right then, she just wanted to go back and find anything from the documents in the file she had so that she could figure out the person who had secretly injured her.
The time between 8.00 am and 9.00 am, as well as between 5.00 pm and 6.00 pm, were the peak hours that people came and left in the day, and Zhao Youlin rushed back from the cafe right at this time.
No matter what place it was, accidents easily happened when there were more people. This was like a theorem, which was a kind of reality that could be obtained without a process and interference.
Just as Zhao Youlin walked a few steps away from the city center, she suddenly heard a loud scream nearby. “Someone is stealing! There’s a thief! Quickly stop him! Stop! Stand still!”
Zhao Youlin suddenly stopped walking. Her professional ethics, which had been developed by long-term engagement in a certain profession, made her nearly look in the thief’s route of escape by reflex.
Most importantly, the thief was running right toward Zhao Youlin. In just a few seconds, the thief ran into the area that was very near to Zhao Youlin.
It did not take long for her to extend her hand toward the thief without thinking.
The thief was running initially, but he suddenly realized that he was not able to run anymore. When he turned around, his shoulder was in someone’s grip, which had stopped him from moving forward.
The thief’s expression changed slightly. He nearly grabbed the briefcase that he had snatched by reflex and threw it to Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin frowned. She raised her hand that was holding the file to defend herself. But, when the thief saw that she did not plan on letting him go, he directly swung the briefcase to her head. At the same time, he took out a knife from his pocket and pierced Zhao Youlin’s hand that she was using as a defense.
Zhao Youlin originally thought that he was just an ordinary thief, so she did not expect him to even bring a knife. The moment she did not pay attention, the back of her hand was scratched, leaving a small bleeding wound.
When she felt pain, the documents dropped from her hand to the floor.
When the thief saw that Zhao Youlin had loosened her grip, he anxiously wanted to pick up the briefcase and the documents that were scattered around the floor.
Who would have known that before he squatted down, he heard a desperate shout not far away… He felt flustered, so he could not be bothered to pick up the briefcase from the floor before he turned around to run away.
Unfortunately, Zhao Youlin returned to her senses from the pain of her wound just then. Since she saw blood, she released all her annoyance on the thief who had caused her injury.
After the thief turned around and ran away, she quickly caught up with him in a few seconds and swiftly grabbed his shoulder just as she did earlier.
When the thief’s shoulder was grabbed, he still wanted to pull the same trick. He took his knife before he turned around and pointed it toward Zhao Youlin.
This time, Zhao Youlin was ready. How was it possible for him to piece her?
Her gaze turned a little dark, and she tilted her head to the side. While she avoided the knife, she used another hand to directly grab the thief’s wrist and bend it downward.
The thief was in so much pain that he instantly screamed in misery. He could no longer hold the weapon in his hand, so it dropped to the floor with a thud.
The thief without his weapon was like a sick cat that had lost its teeth in front of Zhao Youlin, and he was at her mercy.
“Who asked you to steal things, who asked you to injure people with weapons, who asked you to try to get away with crime…” Zhao Youlin punched the thief each time she spoke.
Her ruthless face terrified the pedestrians on the street, including Xia Zhetao who rushed over soon after.
