44 Police, Please Help!” (1/2)

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.

Who would have known, however, that that day he would be so unlucky. Not only had he been caught red-handed, he was also being chased by a large crowd!

In the past, Bao Tai had been able to easily outrun those who were pursuing him. That day, though, it was not so easy. His limits were being tested.

Bao Tai had run 500 meters in less than one and a half minutes! That was as fast as an athlete. With the mall's music playing in the background, Bai Tao believed it to be the pinnacle of his career! A hundred people were chasing him!

”Ahhhhh!” He was shaking in fear. Following right behind him was someone who could throw fireballs—an Awakener! Although the fireball could not fly very far, it was still incredibly scary.

He felt that, if caught, he could have been beaten to death.

Even if he was dead tired, he could not stop running.

Oh? In front, there was—there was a police station! He had finally found the safest place!

At that moment, tears started running down Bai Tao's cheeks. He could finally put his childhood knowledge to great use: when in danger, approach the police!

”Ahhhhh!”

Howling, Bai Tao rushed through the gates of the police station and immediately kneeled down. He skidded ten meters across the station's floor and wrapped his arms around a policeman's legs, crying out. ”Police, please help me!”

The entire station fell silent.

What was that situation? Had that man been kicked out of a pyramid scheme?

”You are…” The policeman looked at the man in front of him in confusion, ”What happened?”

Then, he saw a group of people rushing in. Among the group, there were two teenagers; one looked around eighteen or nineteen, the other looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. The policeman asked, ”What is going on?”

Hong Xiaofu, who chased after Bai Tao, pointed to the wallet in Bai Tao's hands, ”Thief, look at the wallet in his hands.”

At that very moment, Bai Tao wanted to die.

He had been too focused on running, he had forgotten to get rid of the evidence!

”Oh,” The policeman was delighted, ”So, this thief was too afraid to be caught by you guys and decided to seek help from us?”
