Chapter 72 "Fellow Patients" Communication_1

The man was fast, but Shen Xian was faster!

As the thief's guilt weighed on him, he glanced back to see Shen Xian almost upon him. His legs went weak, and he stumbled to the ground. By the time he got up, Shen Xian had caught up.

"Hand it over!"

Shen Xian grabbed his collar, gasping for breath, her stance hands-on-hips quite intimidating.

He was just a young kid, seemed about the same age as the one from the Cafe. Caught red-handed, he had no choice but to hand it over. As he hesitated, Shen Xian began to threaten him:

"Hand it over now, or I'm calling the police!"

"No, don't call the police!" He handed over the ragged bag he was clutching tightly to Shen Xian. The moment she reached for the bag, he broke free and fled.

Shen Xian's goal was to retrieve the items; the thief got away, so be it.

She walked back, gasping for air, having rushed out so quickly that she had left her coat in the cafe, her body shivering from the cold of the freshly snowed weather.
