Is it easier to make a move?
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.
He was carrying so many things on purpose to draw all their attention to himself.
If it was easier for them to make a move, wasn't it the same for Lin Yu?
The shoe store that Chen Qimeng mentioned was located after passing through two sets of small alleys.
The Black Bear and Yellow Lion Gang, which had been waiting for a long time, naturally wouldn't miss this chance to act.
Yellow Lion casually rubbed his nose with his finger and quickly quickened his pace to get closer to Lin Yu.
As an experienced pickpocket,
Yellow Lion's first target was the satchel in Lin Yu's right hand,
which was actually Chen Qimeng's bag!
This kind of bag usually contained mobile phones and wallets.
Don't be fooled by the zipper, as it was no match for Yellow Lion!
Every time pedestrians brushed past each other, it was the moment when people were least aware of the items on their bodies.
Yellow Lion always chose this moment to make his move. With a very professional gesture, he slowly pulled the zipper bit by bit.
If it didn't work the first time, he'd try a second time, and if that didn't work, a third time.
At most three tries!
He was sure to create enough space to reach in. After that, it was just a matter of grabbing whatever he could.
Besides,
Yellow Lion also had a blade hidden in his pants,
usually used for dealing with bags made of thinner materials.
Chen Qimeng's satchel didn't fall into this category.
Moreover, Yellow Lion always boasted that if a problem could be solved with skills and techniques, there was no need to use tools!
After following Lin Yu for less than a minute,
the first wave of dense pedestrians passed by.
Yellow Lion nimbly squeezed next to Lin Yu. Under the cover of the crowd, he reached out his sinful hand towards the satchel.
At the same time,
Lin Yu had been quietly observing from the corner of his eye.
Yellow Lion's every move was as clear as a slow - motion video.
Just as Yellow Lion's hand was about to touch the zipper,
Lin Yu moved!
In Yellow Lion's view,
it was just the satchel being lifted a bit, and its position changed slightly.
This kind of thing happened all the time.
It was just a coincidence, right?
Yellow Lion smoothly slid his hand past the satchel and quickly retracted it.
Anyway, there was still a long way to go. As long as they continued shopping, there would definitely be another chance.
"Ouch!"
As he retracted his hand, a sharp pain shot through the tip of his index finger.
He immediately slowed down and looked at his finger.
There was a long cut that ran from the tip of his index finger all the way to the second knuckle.
What had he cut himself on?
Was there some sharp decoration on the satchel?
This was too fast!
If it was just a hard thorn, it would have at most left a white mark or a scratch.
But the cut on his finger was like being sliced by an extremely thin knife.
At first, he only felt the pain, and there was no bleeding.
When he lifted his finger to look,
blood slowly seeped out from the tiny slit.
After the initial spot of red, the blood started to gush out quite rapidly.
"Damn it! Am I this unlucky?"
"Who the hell puts a knife on a bag!"
Yellow Lion quickly put his finger in his mouth to prevent the blood from dripping on the ground.
Seeing Yellow Lion stop, Black Bear quickly stepped forward.
"Smack!"
Without thinking twice, he gave Yellow Lion a whack on the back of the head.
Then, he said angrily,
"Are you starving crazy? Is your finger delicious?"
Yellow Lion took his finger out of his mouth aggrievedly.
The bloody mess made Black Bear frown involuntarily.
"Useless piece of trash. What did you touch?"
"Hurry up. It's just a scratch, and you're making such a fuss!"
Black Bear didn't care about such a minor detail at all. He and Yellow Lion once again kept their distance.
【Ding!】
【The powerful attack that broke the blood and the superb skill of throwing leaves like flying darts greatly frustrated Yellow Lion!】
【Reward: 50 Spirit Stones】
Lin Yu shook his left hand slightly, with a corner of the drawing paper completely hidden in his palm.
Ever since he went out with Little Fufu and discovered the sharpness of the drawing paper at the exhibition hall,
Lin Yu always kept a small, folded half - sheet of drawing paper in his pocket for emergencies.
The effect of the 【Throwing Leaves Like Flying Darts】 skill was quite remarkable.
It was even more practical than the upgraded 【Bone - Melting Tenderness】.
It allowed him to fight back while making the opponent completely unaware of what had happened.
He had still held back 70% of his strength just now.
If he had gone all out, let alone whether he could directly imitate the Nine - Fingered Demon Fiddler,
at least the cut would have been deep enough to reach the bone. Then the situation would have ended right there!
From the moment they targeted Lin Yu and Chen Qimeng,
Lin Yu didn't just plan to give them a small punishment and scare them away.
"What the hell is going on? Damn it!"
"There's nothing special about this bag either?"
"Was it scratched by the rough zipper? I'm so damn unlucky..."
Yellow Lion kept muttering to himself.
He quickly caught up with Lin Yu and Chen Qimeng again.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to take a look at this store?"
"It's a grocery store selling daily necessities. Do you need anything?"
Chen Qimeng stopped and asked Lin Yu with concern.
To cooperate with Aunt Qimeng, Lin Yu had no choice but to stop as well.
"Daily necessities... There are still a lot of stocks at home."
"Let's use them up first and then buy more when they're almost gone, okay?"
This act of standing still was like a god - sent opportunity for Yellow Lion!
He pretended to pass by Lin Yu from the oblique rear.
His nimble thieving hand reached out towards the backpack zipper again.
However,
that familiar feeling came back again...
"Damn it!"
This time, Yellow Lion aimed at the zipper.
Just as he was about to grab it and pull, Lin Yu moved again.
Immediately afterwards,
another sharp pain stabbed at his nerves.
【Ding!】
【The powerful attack that broke the blood and the superb skill of throwing leaves like flying darts frustrated Yellow Lion once again!】
【Reward: 50 Spirit Stones】
Yellow Lion didn't dare to stop and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, heading to the entrance of a store across the street.
"Damn it... Why am I so unlucky today?"
It was still his index finger!
It was the same kind of cut!
It was parallel to the previous cut and very close to it.
The previous cut was still oozing blood slowly, and now the new cut was gushing blood rapidly.
Yellow Lion put his finger in his mouth again, his face contorted in pain.
It really hurt, as the saying goes, pain in the fingers goes straight to the heart!
Not only did his finger hurt,
but Yellow Lion also knew that his head was about to hurt soon.
Just as Black Bear approached,
he quickly took his finger out and gestured.
"Don't hit me, Brother Bear. There's something strange about their bag."
"I didn't even touch the zipper... Ouch, it really hurts!"
Black Bear stopped his hand in mid - air.
Angrily, he reached into his pocket and took out a piece of toilet paper with white fluff on it.
He tore off one piece and stuffed it into Yellow Lion's hand.
"No matter what's in it, even if it's sulfuric acid, you can't let them get away."
"It's just a simple pickpocketing job. Why are you making it so difficult today?"
"You've been with me for so long and still haven't improved?"
"Hurry up and wipe it. They're moving again!"
...

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
