Tong Jiumo panted heavily as she walked out of the Gourmet Association’s main building.
Her hand was pressed against her chest.
“Catch the thief! Catch the thief!”
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
Tong Jiumo heard the scream and raised her head. She then saw a man dressed in a suit ran past her.
Without a word, she chased after the man with her high heels on. As the man in the suit ran too quickly, in a moment of frantic, she took out her phone and threw it at his head.
The man stumbled from the sneak attack.
He stopped running and turned around, only to see a beautiful woman running towards him. He unexpectedly got attracted by the angry look the woman had on her face.
Before he had the chance to come back to his senses, he got kicked by Tong Jiumo.
The man was beaten to the ground by Tong Jiumo’s roundhouse kick.
“You have your own hands and feet. Yet, out of all the things you could do, you had to be a thief!”
This scene attracted the attention of many bystanders.
Some of the bystanders even filmed it and uploaded it online after a few edits, with titles like: The High Heels Heroine Flew to Catch the Thief.
The fat woman, who had shouted to catch the thief, wore extravagant jewelry. By this time, she managed to run over as well, yet she panted heavily. She then pushed Tong Jiumo away.
“Miss, he was helping me catch the thief. Why did you hit him? You are in cahoots with the thief, aren’t you?” said the fat woman.
“Miss, you look so pretty and cute. Why do you have to become a thief and steal?”
The woman wearing golden sunglasses grabbed Tong Jiumo’s wrist. She was determined to seek justice for the wronged man.
The man in the white suit stood up from the floor and pat the dust away from his clothes. However, before he could defend himself, the police took him away, as well as Tong Jiumo.
After Tong Jiumo explained that it was all a misunderstanding at the police station, a person was needed to bail her out.
Tong Jiumo had no kin in Mo City, and it was not possible to ask her son to sign the papers and bail her out.
In the end, she had no choice but to call Sophie.
“Hi, I am Ye Jingshi. It is a pleasure to meet you.” Ye Jingshi introduced himself to Tong Jiumo. “I am not Ye Jingsi. My surname, Ye comes from Ye Wen, my Jing comes from the word money, and my Shi comes from the word morale.”
“Hi, I am Tong—”
Right at that moment, a tall figure appeared at the police station.
Tong Jiumo took a look, and her eyes widened. ‘What is the train pervert doing at the police station?’
“Jue, you are finally here! This station is only a few steps away from the Gourmet Association’s main building, yet you took ten minutes to arrive? You are not taking me seriously at all.”
Ye Jingshi saw Mo Qijue had arrived and stood up from his chair. He walked to Mo Qijue’s side and casually put his hand over Mo Qijue’s shoulder.
Ye Jingshi side-eyed him and said softly, “Jue, didn’t we play tarot cards a while ago? It said I would meet my destined one. I think she is the one the heavens chose for me. Although she looks very pure and cute, she is the real deal! We fell in love at first kick!”
The scene where Tong Jiumo had done her roundhouse kick was still very clear in his mind. Ye Jingshi had it etched in the back of his mind, unable to forget that spectacular scene.
“Where should I sign to bail you out?”
However, Mo Qijue was not interested in Ye Jingshi’s love affairs.
His long legs took big strides as he walked to the counter.
Once the police saw it was Mo Qijue, all of them broke into a sweat and lowered their heads as they stood at the side respectfully.
Tong Jiumo, who sat at a corner, took a bailout form and covered her face.
After Mo Qijue signed the papers, he left. He did not stay any longer, nor did he waste his breath.
“Hey, Jue, you haven’t bailed my friend. Just sign the papers, and we can all leave together.” Ye Jingshi clearly did not want to leave.
He wanted to take this opportunity to spend time with her alone.
“Who?” Mo Qijue narrowed his eyes.
