Chapter 452: Habitual Thief

"If the boss says it’s possible, then I think it definitely is!"

Fatty Tang said confidently. In his heart, Xiao Yi was gradually becoming synonymous with omnipotence. Since he had met Xiao Yi, he had discovered that there really was nothing Xiao Yi couldn’t accomplish. Many things that had seemed utterly impossible in his previous life became seemingly simple in front of Xiao Yi.

For example, when Gao Junjie and the Four Young Evil Masters were beaten and expelled from the academy...

Also, his being together with Li Ling, a great part of the credit belonged to Xiao Yi...

As a result, he never doubted what Xiao Yi said.

After speaking, he seemed to remember something, turned his head, looked at Li Ling’s slightly worried face, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and with a sincere expression, said, "Li Ling, I know what you’re thinking, but please rest assured. I know my parents; they’re tough on the outside but soft on the heart. They will eventually agree and bless us. Moreover, I believe they will soon recognize your excellence, and I also have faith in the boss. He said he would help us convince my parents, and he definitely will. I’ll call them right now and set up a meeting!"

Looking at the sincere expression on Fatty Tang’s face and hearing the determination in his voice, Li Ling’s eyes moistened again, and she gently leaned against Fatty Tang’s broad chest.

Even if she were asked to die right at this moment, she would have no regrets.

In life’s brief journey, having such a happy time, what else could there be to complain about or regret?

............

I really am an incompetent doctor.

Sitting on the bus to the hospital, a faint bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yi’s face as he recalled that during this period, he had only taken two patients, Elder Mr. Ma and this Mr. Qian. Strangely, each time, it was the patient calling to remind him of their follow-up appointments that made him remember them.

With Elder Mr. Ma, he still had some idea, but this time, he truly had forgotten completely.

If it had not been for Qian Fuyu’s call, he would have forgotten completely that today was already the third day. Although he had told Qian Fuyu to come back after a week, as the doctor in charge of this critical patient, not checking in for several days and even forgetting entirely was indeed not proper. Thus, he understood why Qian Fuyu made that call and promptly headed over upon hearing it.

Considering Mr. Qian Fuchen’s last state, if there weren’t any surprises, one more acupuncture session today followed by another next time should be about right, Xiao Yi silently contemplated Mr. Qian Fuchen’s health in his mind.

Although his condition was actually more severe than that of Elder Mr. Ma, the effects of the Seven Needles technique he had used last time were far superior to the acupuncture techniques he had used on Elder Mr. Ma; hence, his condition was improving somewhat faster.

As Xiao Yi pondered Mr. Qian Fuchen’s condition in his mind, suddenly, a strange feeling passed from in front of him; he slightly furrowed his brow and looked forward.

Up ahead, not too far from him, two men around 1.7 meters tall in sharp suits looked effortlessly polished as they nonchalantly hemmed a long-haired woman, who carried a bulging leather bag, between them.

The woman’s expression was overtly anxious and tense, as if she was thinking over or worrying about something, seemingly oblivious to any unusual activity, focusing solely ahead and occasionally stamping her foot as if to complain, "Why is this bus so slow?"

Pickpockets!

Xiao Yi hardly needed a glance to make his judgment. The idea of pickpockets was nothing new to him; he encountered one on his very first day in G City, a word that had accompanied his journey ever since.

It was because of that thief that he had met Wang Qingqing.

And in the instant that this thought crossed Xiao Yi’s mind, the two men ahead had already made their next move. The man on the left continued gripping the handrail with his left hand, his face portraying complete disinterest as he stared ahead, while his right hand swiftly flipped, miraculously producing a thin blade and extending it towards the girl’s backpack in a motion as fluid as flowing water, without the slightest hitch!

At that moment, the man on the right suddenly leaned forward into the woman’s line of sight, catching her attention and distracting her completely.

These two were undoubtedly seasoned pickpockets!

Watching this series of deft movements, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but show a trace of amazement. His mind swiftly made a decision.

Should he intervene in this matter?

Xiao Yi hesitated briefly. As he watched the pickpocket’s blade slit the girl’s leather bag, at that moment, Xiao Yi once again saw the anxious look in the woman’s eyes.

Seeing the woman’s anxious face, a determined look flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes as he stood up and reached out to tap the shoulder of the man holding the blade.

The pickpocket was fully engrossed in his "professional" endeavor, his eyes glittering with the imagery of banknotes. With his expert eye, he deemed the young lady before him a lucrative target. This job might be his biggest score of the month. He had gauged, from the fleeting glance he took as she fished out her wallet to pay her fare upon boarding, that the pink wallet in her shoulder bag held at least ten thousand in cash!

He was quite confident in his skills, especially with an excellent partner by his side, making him almost entirely certain of this job’s success. Indeed, as the blade smoothly entered, the girl remained oblivious. The sound of the blade cutting through the backpack was barely noticeable compared to the bus’s movement and the noisy environment inside it, virtually impossible to hear.

However, at a crucial moment, it was essential to remain cautious to avoid any slip-ups. The thief, not getting carried away by his success, took a deep breath to suppress the thrill of a major score and proceeded with even more careful and professional maneuvers.

It was a success!

As the blade swiftly sliced open the backpack, revealing the pink wallet inside, the owner remained unaware, sending a thrill through the thief.

However, just then, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder and his hand jerked heavily. The heart of the thief who was in the midst of stealing almost leaped out with fright! (To be continued.
