She rubbed her arms with her hands and turned her head to look back. She could just go back in, but she didn’t want to. She searched for the nearest shopping mall on her phone and headed directly for it.
She reached the shopping mall after walking for just a few minutes. Su Qingsang saw a man running out of the shopping mall before she went in.
The man was running very fast and soon a woman came out after him. The woman was chasing the man with some difficulty.
“Catch the thief!”
The women ran very slowly on her high heels. All she could do was shout. “That’s a thief. Catch him!”
Su Qingsang froze for a moment and watched the “thief” started running in her direction, getting closer and closer.
“Catch the thief!” The woman kept calling.
Su Qingsang stood still at first but, when the thief was very close to her, she put out her foot without hesitation.
The thief obviously did not expect Su Qingsang to do this. He was almost past her when he unexpectedly stumbled over Su Qingsang’s foot and fell forward.
The thief fell to the ground and a wallet, which he had been holding in his hand, flew out onto the sidewalk.
Su Qingsang went forward quickly and stepped on his back. The thief was in a hurry to get up, so how could Su Qingsang give him the chance? She stepped harder with her leather ankle boot, which had a really firm heel.
The thief struggled to get up again, but the woman who had been running after him came. Gasping for breath, she picked up the wallet from the ground and found it was hers after looking it over. She seemed relieved.
When she was going to express her thanks to Su Qingsang, a group of equally warm-hearted people came and subdued the thief. Then, the group of people took the thief to the police station nearby. Su Qingsang followed them because she was a witness. The woman thanked Su Qingsang, and so did the police.
She was a little embarrassed. She had learned some self-defense techniques before. They were all fancy, however, and not very useful.
She really had just had good luck, but she received a lot of praise from these people. They thought she had really been chivalrous.
She had caught the thief and given her statement, so the woman desperately wanted to express her gratitude. Su Qingsang had to refuse her multiple times before the woman gave up trying to treat her to dinner.
After all this, Su Qingsang got out of the police station and felt cold again.
She didn’t want to buy clothes anymore, so she took out her phone to look at the time. There were more than 30 missed calls. They were all from Huo Jinyao. Su Qingsang was stunned for a moment and then realized that she had accidentally pressed the mute button. No wonder she hadn’t heard it.
She called Huo Jinyao back. His voice sounded anxious.
“Where are you?”
Half an hour later, Huo Jinyao saw Su Qingsang reappear in front of him.
Without a word, he hugged her. Then he asked, “Where have you been? Do you know you scared the sh*t out of me? I thought you went back to Lin City.”
It would have been Ok if she had gone back to Lin City; he had just been afraid that…
The worry and concern in his eyes didn’t seem fake. Su Qingsang was held very tightly by him. When she saw the emotion in his eyes, her heart quivered a bit.
