Free Web NovelChapter 926: Chapter 923: The Mysterious Sleazy Man (Part 1)
The sleazy guy kept gesturing and boasting, "People these days, don’t be fooled by appearances. Some women look glamorous, but behind the scenes, who knows what they’re really up to?"
Those around also whispered, "You would never guess that such a beautiful woman is actually a thief..."
"That’s why you can’t judge people by their looks... These days, even thieves have upgraded. The more respectable they look, the more you should be wary..."
"Maybe she’s back from East City?"
"Hehe, East City?"
"Don’t you know? Recently, the ladies from East City have all lost their jobs, wandering everywhere in large numbers... Probably out of work and desperate, daring to steal in such a public place..."
Even though they were whispering, those words were just unbearable.
Yan Xixi truly wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Yet the sleazy guy kept spitting insults: "Stealing from others is one thing, but why steal from us common folks? Look at me, I barely have any money. Miss, do you have any conscience at all? Nowadays, it seems people’s consciences have been devoured by dogs, always targeting the weak..."
Yan Xixi, who had been a swindler for many years, could only find it laughable to be entangled by a rogue like this.
Looking at the time, it was already time to board, and she couldn’t delay any longer.
Lin Zhiyun pushed through the crowd: "If there’s anything, leave it to the lawyer. Sorry, we need to board."
The sleazy guy arrogantly shouted, "Boarding? In your dreams, after being a thief, you think you can escape?"
Yan Xixi sensed something was amiss but remained calm: "Alright then, I’d like to see what exactly happened. Aren’t you going to the police station? Let’s go."
Sleazy guy: "Let’s go, who’s afraid of whom? The victim can’t possibly be scared of you, can they?"
At the airport police station, officers repeatedly scrutinized all of Yan Xixi’s identification photos.
Passport, South Country University student ID, and the first-class ticket.
Looking at this lady, dignified and beautiful, her clothes were not of any luxury brand but of good quality, exuding an aura of a high-class intellectual from head to toe. She didn’t look like a thief at all.
How could a Harvard student who could afford a first-class international flight possibly steal a mere thousand yuan?
A police officer politely asked, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
The sleazy guy persisted, "What misunderstanding could there possibly be? You all saw it, the wallet was indeed taken out of this young lady’s bag, the evidence is undeniable. How can it be disputed? Officer, let me warn you, this is a rule-of-law society. You can’t cover for her just because she’s good-looking..."
The civilian officer responded coldly, "We will carry out our duties according to the law."
"Right, what happens when someone steals over a thousand yuan? I need to check the legal provisions to see how it’s punished. Let me search my phone..."
The police couldn’t bear it any longer: "The matter hasn’t been investigated yet, why are you in such a rush?"
"I’m not hurried. I’m just cooperating with you to make a record. I also need to protect my interests, even though I can’t afford a lawyer, I’m not easily bullied either. In this rule-of-law society, if you dare to practice favoritism, I’ll make a post on Twitter..."
"Then go ahead and post, who’s afraid of you? We’re not enforcing the law inappropriately..."
"Anyway, you better watch yourselves, I’m not afraid of you... These days, Twitter is the only outlet for ordinary folks like us... By the way, I might even post a tidbit on Tianya... Hmph, you’d better be careful..."
