Chapter 388: [388] Is this old guy really a thief?_1
Wu Qishu was now in complete panic.
Being exposed didn’t scare him; it wasn’t the first time he’d been found out.
Once, he had even been besieged by six or seven officers from the Public Affairs Hall, a situation far more dangerous than this, but he had eventually escaped successfully.
However, what truly frightened him this time was that Tang Feng’s strength was terrifying.
Normally, with the aid of his Shrinking Bone Skill, he could easily shake off those who tried to arrest him.
But the man before him was stronger than anyone he had ever encountered.
...
He had tried every trick in the book, yet he still couldn’t shake his pursuer.
A wave of unprecedented fear surged into his heart.
He gritted his teeth and, deciding not to run anymore, grabbed his blind man’s cane and stabbed at Tang Feng again.
This blind man’s cane was specially made; pressing a button would cause a spike to emerge from the bottom, capable of inflicting serious injury upon penetration.
Tang Feng had been on guard for his desperate moves. His body suddenly swayed backward, and the blind man’s cane missed, stabbing through the air above him.
Before Wu Qishu could retract the cane, Tang Feng reached out to grab it, yanked it hard, and snatched it away.
Wu Qishu, weaponless, was shocked and in a panic, he grabbed an antique broadsword from a nearby stall and hacked at Tang Feng.
The broadsword resembled the Green Dragon Crescent Blade wielded by Lord Guan in television dramas, appearing to be quite heavy.
Even a young lad might have had trouble wielding it.
But in Wu Qishu’s hands, it seemed to whir through the air with ease.
The surrounding crowd was dumbstruck.
Even the most naïve among them were beginning to realize something at this point.
This old man was by no means ordinary.
He was a master of all eighteen martial arts!
Which family’s elder could handle a broadsword?
Tang Feng hadn’t expected Wu Qishu to have such a special skill and was suddenly forced into a flurry of defense, retreating again and again.
Wu Qishu’s goal was not to beat Tang Feng.
He was well aware of his capabilities; he was no match for his opponent.
So, after pushing Tang Feng back, he suddenly changed direction, rushing toward the pregnant woman.
If he could take the pregnant woman hostage, he would be able to escape successfully today.
Seeing his actions, Tang Feng’s heart surged with rage.
The woman, pregnant and with a big belly, had just saved him and kept speaking up for him.
This despicable man didn’t appreciate it at all and even wanted to use her as leverage, behaving worse than a beast.
In his fury, Tang Feng no longer held back; his hand holding the cane thrust out fiercely.
Just as Wu Qishu was about to seize the pregnant woman, the blind man’s cane fiercely stabbed into his armpit.
“Ah…”
He screamed miserably as the broadsword clanged to the ground, and blood soaked through the fabric under his arm.
Tang Feng let go of the cane and quickly subdued him.
Only then did the onlookers breathe a sigh of relief, their backs drenched in sweat.
The pregnant woman, in particular, was terrified, her face turning pale.
She could never have imagined that the kindly old man from just moments before could suddenly reveal such a ferocious side.
The moment he rushed over, her whole body froze in terror.
The female students nearby were the same, they had never encountered such a thing before.
Luckily, Tang Feng acted promptly, otherwise the outcome would be unthinkable.
After Tang Feng subdued Wu Qishu, he reached into his pocket to retrieve the stolen goods.
Little did he know, once he started to search, he discovered the pockets were like a universe of their own.
His pockets were extremely deep, reaching down to the hem of his trousers.
When he emptied the two pockets, wallets, cell phones, watches, gold and silver jewelry… an astonishing variety was found.
The onlookers were dumbstruck.
“Oh my God, this old guy really is a thief, isn’t he?”
“This old crook is too despicable, taking advantage of people’s good will to steal.” @@novelbin@@
“What a damnable old beast, I even felt sorry for him just now.”
“We misunderstood this young man just now, he is actually the good Samaritan.”
“Let’s not talk about it, I’m so embarrassed…”
While expressing their anger toward Wu Qishu, the crowd also expressed their shame to Tang Feng.
When he stepped in to deal with this old crook, they were accusing him of all sorts of things.
Only now did they realize that the man they criticized was the real hero.
And the one they had tried so hard to protect was the real unforgivable criminal.
Including the pregnant woman, she also looked at Tang Feng with an apologetic face, “Sir, I’m truly sorry, I was so confused just now and even blamed you. I really…”
Tang Feng waved his hand, “Your kindness is more than most can boast. I hope you won’t be swayed by this old crook, and maintain your good nature.”
The pregnant woman nodded vigorously, “I will.”
Tang Feng pulled Wu Qishu to his feet and collected the stolen goods, “I’ll have to take these items with me, you can come to the Public Affairs Hall later to claim them.”
Neither the pregnant woman nor the female students had any objections.
Tang Feng then left the scene with Wu Qishu, whose face had turned ashen, in tow.
…
“Mr. Yang, we had a good haul today,” Wang Ming said gleefully, looking at the six or seven pickpockets they had caught.
Yet Yang Dongxu beside him maintained a grim expression, “Good haul? Two of them were caught by Tang Feng, and the other three were caught based on his tips. Our own people only caught two, what’s there to be happy about?”
Wang Ming touched his nose in chagrin, “No matter who caught them, it’s a good thing that they were caught.”
Yang Dongxu sighed, “Sigh, the personnel from our Zhonghai Public Security Bureau can’t even compare to an outsider. This is bound to become a joke in the industry.”
Wang Ming did not know what to say.
Indeed, although the operation was a big success and they caught seven thieves at once, including wanted criminals like Ma Wu and Chen Mei.
But most of the credit went to Tang Feng, and it indeed made them feel quite embarrassed.
“If only our team could bring us some good news right now, that would be great.”
Yang Dongxu couldn’t help but sigh.
No sooner had he spoken than a rustling came over the walkie-talkie, a sign that someone was about to speak.
Yang Dongxu and Wang Ming’s faces brightened; could it be that their people really had some good news?
Then, they heard Xu Xinling’s voice from the walkie-talkie, “Mr. Yang, Tang Feng has caught another thief.”
What do you think?
