Chapter 77 - Catch the Thief

Chapter 77: Chapter 78 Catch the ThiefOn the way to the finance office, the cold wind cut through Mu Shini, making her shiver all over, even though she was bundled up like a rice dumpling.

While Mu Shini was walking, she suddenly noticed something was off ahead.

She saw a man following a tall, slender boy who was carrying an instrument, stealthily reaching into the boy’s pocket and stealing his wallet.

The pickpocket glanced back after successfully snatching the wallet, only to meet eyes with Mu Shini!

The thief froze for a moment, quickly stuffing the wallet into his trouser pocket, then bolted in a panic!

"Thief! Stop!"

Mu Shini had always loved watching martial arts movies, especially the 1983 version of Legend of the Condor Heroes, where many of the characters acted with chivalry and justice.

Having grown up with her grandfather, she had also trained a bit of Sanda in the military camp with his people.

Removing her hat, Mu Shini sprinted forward. As she passed by the boy, she tossed her bag, coat, and hat onto the ground, running after the thief and catching up from behind.

Within moments, Mu Shini had the thief subdued. "Hand over the wallet! Instead of studying, you’re out here stealing your classmates’ wallets. Are you trying to ruin your life?"

"Ouch! Ouch! I don’t know what you’re talking about! What wallet! I didn’t steal anything!" The thief, pinned down by Mu Shini, cried out in pain.

What an unlucky day!

He had planned to take advantage of the start of the semester to make some quick money, since he desperately needed it!

Who would have thought he’d run into a meddlesome girl!

Ignoring his excuses, Mu Shini reached into the thief’s pants and surprisingly pulled out six wallets!

The bystanders were shocked by what they saw!

"You still claim you didn’t steal anything? Then explain these wallets! How could a normal person carry so many wallets?" Mu Shini shook the wallets in her hand and questioned.

The thief was immediately speechless.

With it being the start of the semester, many people were around. As soon as they confirmed he was indeed a thief, someone took out their phone to call the police.

"No, no, don’t call the police! I had no choice but to steal wallets. It’s my first time doing this. Please, beautiful lady, let me go just this once..." The thief, terrified, kneeled and begged Mu Shini.

Mu Shini gathered up the wallets and then walked up to the boy with the violin, who was holding her clothes. "Classmate, your wallet was stolen. See if one of these is yours."

The boy with the violin was Bao Tinghao. When he heard someone shout to catch the thief, he had seen Mu Shini sprinting past him, throwing her jacket on the ground as she chased after the thief; the scene was like a heroine from a martial arts novel coming to the rescue!

To him, it was like seeing a fairy.

What caught his attention wasn’t the thief, but Mu Shini’s delicate face, reddened by the cold wind.

Especially because this girl knew martial arts!

In just a few moves, she had the thief pinned down.

Far more courageous than the bystanders who watched without intervening!

"Are you hurt?" Bao Tinghao, snapping out of it, hurriedly handed Mu Shini her hat and coat, his voice gentle with a hint of concern. "It’s so cold out, put your coat back on. Thank you for retrieving my wallet!"

"No problem, just doing the right thing!"

Mu Shini put on her coat and hat again, feeling quite heroic.

She suddenly remembered encountering Zhao Huajun at the hot pot restaurant and how helpless she had felt. If it weren’t for the arrival of the older man, she wouldn’t know what might have happened.

At that time, Zhao Huajun had a knife, and naturally, she was scared.

But this thief was different. He looked weak and thin, and they were on campus with many people around, so she wasn’t afraid and just instinctively ran to catch the thief.
