Sosalito was an unknown small town. It was barely a village in China and might be considered a production team. However, because of the beautiful scenery of the town, it was only a bridge away from San Francisco, which made it a gathering place for the rich. The villas on the hillside overlooked the Bay and the bridge, and the average price was more than 2 million US dollars. Just like the rich people in Hong Kong lived on the mountains, the average price of houses in the town exceeded that of San Francisco.
The masts of hundreds of private yachts stood on the dock, swaying slightly with the waves.
Today’s weather was not good, and there was fog, so most of the yachts didn’t go out to sea. If it were a sunny day, the rich people would probably drive the yachts to the sea with hot bikini girls. What would happen after that? Of course, they would set up a table and play mahjong!
In fact, it wasn’t lunch time yet, but considering that there might not be any restaurants near Muir National Park, snowy kept her word and invited Zhang Zian to a restaurant by the sea for lunch. In fact, whether Zhang Zian was there or not, she would always have lunch there and introduce delicious food to the netizens.
As a town where the rich gathered, the restaurant’s price was certainly not cheap. Everything on the menu was below $50. With tips, the two couldn’t afford a meal of $100. Zhang Zian ordered a seafood spaghetti, and snowy ordered something that might be seafood risotto.
If snowy was alone, she might be a little embarrassed to be talking to her phone in a foreign restaurant. With Zhang Zian around, she could more or less ease the embarrassment.
As usual, snowy commented on the restaurant’s environment, facilities, service attitude, hygiene, and most importantly, the taste of the food.
Pets weren’t allowed in the restaurant, so famous and the Elfins had to wait outside the restaurant. Fortunately, they had eaten a lot in the morning and weren’t hungry.
While eating, Zhang Zian looked at the sea view through the floor-to-ceiling glass window. However, the most terrible thing was that this Bay was actually called Richard’s derson Bay, which always made him have bad thoughts.
Perhaps because it was not yet the peak period, there were only two customers in the restaurant for the time being, snowy and him. The Italy bearded head chef even came over personally and asked them if they were satisfied with the dishes.
Snowy was flattered and praised the food in her not-so-fluent English. She also asked the head chef to say a few words to the China audience. The head chef heard that snowy had tens of thousands of fans in China and was happy to take this opportunity to promote her.
Zhang Zian would occasionally help snowy convey her unclear meaning. Other than that, he had been eating and thinking about the National Park.
At this time, an angry dog’s bark suddenly came from outside the store. Zhang Zian knew it was famous.
“I’m sorry, I’ll go out and take a look. ” He tore off the napkin on his lap and quickly ran out of the store.
Snowy’s reaction was a bit slow, and she was chewing on a piece of onion, constantly praising it. So when she came back to her senses, Zhang Zian had already rushed out the door.
He had just run out of the store and didn’t know what was going on. He only saw a man flying away on a skateboard, with famous closely chasing behind.
“Gah! That’s a thief, he stole that woman’s bag!” Richard landed on his shoulder and gloated,””Didn’t I say that women are very troublesome?”
Zhang Zian turned his head to look at the rented car. He saw a thin iron bar thrown on the ground, and one side of the door had been pried open.
When he entered the shop to eat, the Elfins didn’t stay in the car, but wandered around.
According to Richard, a sloppy man walked past his car with an old skateboard under his arm. He looked inside and saw that Zhang Zian and snowy’s backpacks were left in the car. So, after he passed by the car, he turned back. While no one was paying attention, he used his clothes to cover himself and inserted the thin iron strip he carried with him into the window’s rubber seal. He pried open the door lock, then picked up snowy’s bag and got on the skateboard.
Famous was the first to notice that the man was a little sneaky, but it didn’t think much about it. Even if it saw him turn back, it thought that he had suddenly remembered something and was going back the way he came.
This person’s action of prying the car open was skilled and hidden, and he pried it open in the blink of an eye.
Famous was the closest, and only then did it realize that the man was a bag thief. It barked to warn him and immediately chased after him. But because it was a downhill, the man was good at skateboarding. After stepping on the skateboarding, he stomped a few times and slid 20 to 30 meters in an instant. He was still accelerating. It was difficult for famous’s four legs to outrun the wheeled man, and it was barely able to keep up.
Zhang Zian understood now. That person must be a repeated bag thief, and might even have a previous record. These people always targeted foreign tourists, especially China tourists who often swallowed their anger. They had always been their target of theft.
Snowy also ran out at this time. Seeing that Zhang Zian was about to drive after her, she quickly advised him to stop. There was nothing valuable in her bag, but her wallet and mobile phone were with her.
The Italy chef shrugged indifferently and mumbled that they shouldn’t have left their bags in the car. Such things had been happening a lot recently. Homeless people stole things in the car, but the police didn’t care at all. If every homeless person who did this was caught and put in prison, San Francisco’s prison would be full of homeless people. Moreover, the homeless people might have weapons like knives or even guns that they picked up from somewhere. He advised them to keep the peace. Just treat it as a lesson.
While they were talking, famous had already chased the thief into the fog and disappeared from their sight.
Zhang Zian couldn’t just leave famous alone, and old time tea and Vladimir had already chased after it. Although they could climb the trees and take a shortcut, the thief slipped too fast, and the two of them were left quite far behind.
“You guys wait here. I’ll go after them. We can’t just let them be.”
He closed the door. Although he was talking to snowy, he was also talking to the other invisible Elfins.
The Italy chef shook his head, obviously disapproving of his life-risking behavior. He attentively opened the door and invited snowy into the restaurant to continue eating.
Zhang Zian was unfamiliar with the terrain, and with the fog, he didn’t dare to drive too fast. When the restaurant disappeared into the fog behind him, he rolled down the window and shouted into the fog,””Famous! Where are you?”
Woof!
Famous’s cry came from the left, which sounded quite far away.
Famous roared from time to time. He followed the sound and picked up old time tea and Vladimir. They gradually drove out of the small town that was less than five square kilometers and came to the edge of the forest behind the town.
“I’m warning you, if you dare to come near me again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
The thief was blocked by famous. He held a knife in his hand and waved it at famous to intimidate it.
