“Police, Please Help!”

Bai Tao had been a thief for the previous five to six years. 

Since he'd been a child, Bai Tao had been extremely lazy and habitually engaged in dishonest work. Then, someone had taught him the ropes of the criminal world and had guided him in mastering the craft. By learning the different ways of stealing, Bai Tao had fallen in love with that line of work. 

After all, it felt pleasant and refreshing to gain ownership of material goods without working for it—he did not have to do much, he could get his hands on different items just by spending time loitering in the market. How cool was that? He had always told his hooligan friends that "it's impossible to work, it's really impossible to work in this life, I can only live like this." 

Everything could have been smooth sailing for Bai Tao. He had excellent skills and was rarely caught: his agility and athletic skills allowed him to escape when he was caught red-handed.
