“It’s a shame,” the young man sighed. “I’ve been spending a lot recently, and now I’m almost out of money.”
“We have to return to your hometown soon, and I’m worried 1 can’t survive there,” he added.
“Do you think the police have gone crazy? All of a sudden, they’ve started cracking down…”
“I don’t even have a place to get some money!”
The young man sighed again, looking around at the people nearby.
As they talked, more passengers waiting in the area had taken seats. Before long, it was crowded with people.
The two criminals who were talking glanced at each other.
The one who had been encouraging his partner to go to his hometown thought for a moment. He couldn’t just send him there without any means of support, could he?
So, he turned to his companion and made a suggestion, “How about…”
“Before we leave, we have a little adventure?”
Hearing this, the younger man hesitated. “Uh, well…”
“Bro, you know how it is. With the current level of scrutiny, if we really try anything, we’ll probably get caught!”
“Maybe we should just forget it?”
He hesitated.
Seeing his companion’s uncertainty, the older criminal smirked and leaned closer, pointing toward a group of people nearby. He began to coax in a hushed tone.
“Why are you afraid?”
“We’re about to board the plane. Once we’re on it, we can leave this lousy city!”
“Let’s do one more time before we go. Who’s going to know it’s us?”
“Besides, with the money from this job, we won’t have to worry about a thing when we get to my hometown…”

“What do you say, in or out?”
Hearing this, the previously hesitant young man swallowed hard.
He wasn’t lying, he really was short on cash. When he heard his partner urging him, he couldn’t resist any longer.
The two of them wandered through the crowd, and they happened to spot Su Xuan, who was sitting alone, engrossed in his phone, a little distance away from them.
They exchanged glances and had an idea: here was their unwitting victim!
The previously hesitant young man took a deep breath, stood up, bought a bottle of water from a vending machine, and then sat down closer to Su Xuan.
Quietly, he sized up Su Xuan, his eyes lighting up as he noticed the bulging pocket. It was clear he believed there must be something valuable inside.
Seeing the swelling in the pocket, the young man’s breath quickened. His hand moved stealthily towards Su Xuan’s pocket.
Su Xuan watched the hand inch closer, his face mocking, a cold smile playing on his lips. When the young man’s hand slipped into his pocket and he tried to make a run for it with whatever he had taken, Su Xuan swiftly pressed down on the pocket, trapping the thief’s hand inside.
The young man’s face changed drastically. His hand was pinned down by Su Xuan, and he couldn’t move an inch. Already on edge from being caught by the police earlier, this new discovery sent him into a panic. He looked up at Su Xuan, his body trembling.
“Hey, buddy… Please, let me go, okay?”
The young man pleaded with Su Xuan in a hushed tone. His hand was trapped in Su Xuan’s pocket, and he felt something cold inside…
