Chapter 33

Tang Yu looked up and saw two shifty-eyed men staring at the wealthy woman who had just withdrawn money, about ten meters away. Suddenly, one of the men followed the woman. Tang Yu hated thieves the most, as he had been a victim of theft before and had pounded his chest in anger. He slowly followed the man.

The man casually followed the woman, and Tang Yu did not stop him immediately. He wanted to see how skilled a professional thief could be. As the saying goes, every profession has its experts, and thievery is also a unique art, not something anyone can learn.

The woman continued walking forward, unaware of the thief behind her. Her wallet was in her shoulder bag, and she walked elegantly.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, under Tang Yu's watchful eyes, the thief extended two fingers and swiftly inserted them into the woman's bag, then quickly pulled them out. The action was so fast that if it weren't for Tang Yu's keen eyes, it would have been hard to notice. It was like the nimble finger of Lu Xiaofeng, and the entire process went unnoticed by the woman and the passersby.

After the thief succeeded, he looked around at the nearby shops, pretending to have taken a wrong turn, and then naturally returned. As he walked past Tang Yu, Tang Yu tripped him, causing him to fall flat on his face.

"Damn, who did that!" The man, with a scraped face, painfully stood up and looked around, only to see Tang Yu grinning at him with a smug look.

"It's you?" The man glared at Tang Yu fiercely.

"Hand over the wallet, and I'll beat you up. Otherwise, the police will be involved," Tang Yu said calmly.

"Ah! You..." The man, confident in his thieving skills, was surprised to be caught. He no longer felt angry and laughed at Tang Yu, saying, "Little brother, how about we split it?"

"I don't want to repeat myself," Tang Yu's tone became more stern.

"You... Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? We are people who live on the edge, and we don't care about crippling someone," the man threatened, seeing that Tang Yu was not backing down. The other man, seeing his companion caught by a student, cursed and came forward.

"It seems you won't hand it over!" Tang Yu coldly snorted, moved quickly, and punched the man in the face, causing him to faint. The other companion, surprised by Tang Yu's strength, quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist.

"Ah! Tang Yu!" Liu Xin, after withdrawing money, noticed that Tang Yu was gone. Turning around, she saw him surrounded by a crowd, facing a man with a dagger. She hurried over.

The crowd, seeing the dagger, was worried for Tang Yu. The wealthy woman, curious about the commotion, also walked back to watch.

Liu Xin's hands were sweating, and she was deeply concerned for Tang Yu. Perhaps it was because of what had happened between them, but she was afraid of losing him.

"You damn brat, we could have gotten away, but now you've ruined everything. Today, you must pay!" The man couldn't believe he couldn't even beat a student; he wouldn't be able to survive in the underworld if that were the case!

Seeing that he was surrounded and his companion was unconscious, the man had no choice but to vent his anger on Tang Yu. Suddenly, he lunged at Tang Yu's abdomen with the dagger. To his shock, Tang Yu was no longer there. Realizing the danger, he turned around, only to receive a heavy punch to the head.

Both men fainted.

Someone in the crowd must have called the police, as the sound of sirens soon approached.

Tang Yu bent down, searched the first man's clothes, and found the woman's wallet. He walked to the woman, who was about to leave after watching the commotion, and said, "Auntie, your wallet."

"Ah!" The woman's face turned pale when she saw the wallet in Tang Yu's hand. Wasn't this her wallet? What happened? Did the thief just steal her wallet?

At this moment, the woman realized the situation and found it quite amusing. She had been an onlooker, but she was actually part of the scene.

The woman took the wallet and looked at Tang Yu gratefully, "Thank you." She then took out a few bills from her wallet and offered them to Tang Yu, as he was dressed simply and didn't seem to be from a wealthy family.

Tang Yu waved his hand, acting as if he had found the wallet and returned it.

"Jie, are you okay?" Liu Xin rushed over, concerned.

"Xin, don't worry, I'm fine," Tang Yu replied casually.

"You scared me to death. Why do you always have to be the one to stick your neck out? What if you got hurt?" Liu Xin, relieved, scolded Tang Yu.

"Ah, it's fine. By the way, Auntie, we'll be going now. Be careful, there are a lot of thieves around," Tang Yu said to the woman.

Liu Xin also smiled at the woman and followed Tang Yu.

The woman, looking at Liu Xin, was surprised. What was their relationship? Siblings? It didn't seem like it. What then? She didn't think too much about it but decided to be more cautious in the future.

On the way, Liu Xin didn't stop lecturing Tang Yu. Tang Yu just listened casually and smiled faintly.

"By the way, Tang Yu, your martial arts skills are getting better," Liu Xin said, surprised by Tang Yu's quick movements. She knew he had been practicing martial arts for the past two years, but she didn't expect him to be so skilled.

"Hehe, so, Xin, don't worry, I'll be fine," Tang Yu smiled. His current level in the Wind Cloud Technique was Swift Step, and he wondered what the next level would be.

"Anyway, just try to stay out of trouble in the future," Liu Xin, who had more experience in the real world, advised. She had seen the coldness of human nature, like how no one in the crowd had helped Tang Yu.

Tang Yu nodded.

The two arrived at the mall.

Inside the large store, Dao Ge and his stepmother were hugging each other in a suggestive manner. Dao Ge's father had always been lenient with him, only giving him money. Dao Ge's path into the underworld was directly related to his father. There was deep-seated hatred between father and son.

Dao Ge and one of his stepmothers had an inappropriate relationship.

"Stepmother, let's buy a uniform first, and we'll wear it at the hotel later," Dao Ge said to his stepmother.

The stepmother was very attractive and alluring. She was essentially a kept woman by Dao Ge's father, who only visited her for his physical needs and rarely spent time with her. Moreover, Dao Ge's father had many other women.

Feeling lonely, it was natural for her to seek comfort elsewhere. Dao Ge, with his good looks and strong build, was a perfect match.

Today, Dao Ge's father was out of town, providing the perfect opportunity for them to indulge in their desires. They needed to prepare properly.

"Hehehe. Okay, I'll do as you say. What uniform should we buy? Nurse's, flight attendant's, or OL office wear?" The stepmother, lonely for days, was determined to have a good time.

"Let's go with the OL office wear today," Dao Ge said excitedly after some thought.
