Chapter 749 — Trouble Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"There is, there is! Good sir, don't get angry..." Qiu Lingshan was startled, and her voice turned soft and sweet, quite pitiful. "Then could you keep an eye out for this little fool? I mean the theft ring..."
"Oh—if I see one, I'll tell you." Wei Zhao hung up without further ado, faintly amused. Qiu Lingshan really did come to him for everything, didn't she?
Qiu Lingshan hung up in a huff. If you see one, you'll tell me? That was as good as saying nothing at all! Who on earth just happened to spot a theft ring? She was still stewing when her gaze suddenly sharpened and fixed on something not far off along the roadside...
A cutely dressed young girl was at that very moment slipping her guilty hand into the coat pocket of a paunchy man!
In no time the girl had scored, fishing out a large wallet. Beaming, she walked off to the side and began counting her take.
Qiu Lingshan sneered inwardly. Truly, one may search the whole world over and find it without effort at all! This girl was a repeat offender—Qiu Lingshan had run into her several times before and never managed to catch her! Now was the perfect chance to wring some information out of her and see whether she could cough up anything about the theft ring!
Qiu Lingshan parked at the roadside, got out, and crept quietly toward the girl...
Yu Xiaoke was overjoyed today. Earlier she had seen a rich, heartless fat man—because a little flower-selling girl had blocked his way, he got out of his BMW and kicked the child onto the curb. Paying no mind to her tears, he parked his car and turned and walked off.
The passersby were too cowed to speak out, but Yu Xiaoke had marked this rich, heartless fat man as her target on the spot!
The fat man's guard was pitifully lax, and Yu Xiaoke had made a clean, easy score. She opened the wallet—the man really did carry a pile of cash! Counting it up, there was probably seven or eight thousand yuan!
Yu Xiaoke had not expected such luck. Two days running she had stumbled on fat sheep, and though yesterday she had run into a formidable character who robbed her of her hard-earned gains, all in all she was still very fortunate!
Yet for all her delight, Yu Xiaoke did not let down her guard. Yesterday's business with Wei Zhao had been a warning: she could not be careless. So the moment Qiu Lingshan drew near, Yu Xiaoke noticed.
Yu Xiaoke calmly transferred the cash from the large wallet into her own, then tossed the big wallet casually into a trash can. And in the very instant Qiu Lingshan was about to close in, Yu Xiaoke took to her heels!
"Yu Xiaoke, you stop right there!" Qiu Lingshan was about to explode with fury. She had thought to catch Yu Xiaoke off guard this time, but never imagined the girl would be so alert—she had bolted the instant Qiu Lingshan got close!
"Bye-bye, Sister Lingshan!" Yu Xiaoke turned and pulled a face, then vanished in a flash at the street corner.
Qiu Lingshan simply did not give chase, because she could not have caught her anyway. She had chased twice before and nearly lost her breath both times, and still never caught Yu Xiaoke.
"Yu Xiaoke! Just you wait!" Qiu Lingshan glared in the direction the girl had vanished, utterly helpless...
Qiu Lingshan had learned just how formidable Yu Xiaoke's qinggong was. Though she herself had advanced to the late Huang rank, catching Yu Xiaoke was a pipe dream!RO
