C172 Thief (2/2)

Chang Jing was moved when she heard it, and said to the person beside him, ”Let's go, if the money is stolen, it will be stolen. It's not a big deal.”

”No,” said the man, ”why go away? Theft is against the law!”

Chang Jing could not help but feel anger, and said, ”Could it be that you do not have any sympathy for them, and do not forget that you are everyone's respected Holy Maiden!”

That's right, this was the Holy Maiden who dressed up as a man to make it convenient for us to go out on the streets — — Xi Yan.

After Xi Yan heard what Chang Jing said, she said to him in a serious tone, ”It's because I'm from the Holy Maiden that I can't just ignore this matter even more!”

After he finished speaking, he walked over to the group of children, leaving Chang Jing alone to comprehend these words for a long time.

Just as Xi Yan made her move, the vigilant children scattered in all directions, planning to escape. In the capital, stealing things was a serious crime!

”Don't run, I'm not here to catch you!” Xi Yan had no choice but to explain, ”I'm here to help you!”

Hearing the word ”help”, the children hesitated, but even though they slowed down, they still continued running.

”She really came to help you,” Chang Jing said softly. ”She is a Holy Maiden, you should believe what she has said.”

Hearing that it was Holy Maiden who was chasing them, everyone stopped in their tracks. Even though they had been reduced to thieves, they still knew that they were the supreme existences within the Demon World. No one dared to pretend to not listen to her.

The boss retreated and walked in front of Xi Yan, timidly asking, ”Was what he said true?”

”Yes, it's true.” Xi Yan untied the square towel on her head, causing her bright golden hair to slide onto her shoulders, revealing her peerless beauty, ”I will help you guys, first, bring me to see the father that you all are talking about, how about it?”

The boss kept saying that as he tightly hid Chang Jing's waist pouch in his chest.

Under their guidance, Chang Jing and Yue Shan finally reached their destination.

This was an extremely rundown place. Xi Yan even started to suspect if she had already left the capital city — Since when did the bustling capital city have such a rundown house?

The sloping wooden bungalows, the crowded passages, the ancient furnishings on the passageways — swarms of flies shuttling back and forth through the passageways, the sewage everywhere beneath them, and the ground where a single slip could slip over — all stink and smell!

The boss had already disbanded his bros along the way, telling them to hurry back and wait for news. He was thinking, even if these two people are lying to me, I'll let them all go before I implicate them.

”This is the place,” he said, pushing open a more dilapidated wooden door and entering. ”Father lives here.”

The lighting in the room wasn't good, as if they couldn't get the sun to shine on them all day long. As soon as they entered the room, they could smell a rotten smell, one that hurt the heart.

”You sit down first, I'll borrow a lamp to light it. In order to treat Father's illness, the few of us sold all the things that our family could sell, but still did not have any improvements. Even if we were to steal money, we were forced to do so helplessly, otherwise Father would not be able to survive! ”

After the boss finished speaking, he walked out without looking back, leaving Chang Jing and Xi Yan alone. No, there was still one person on the bed.

He walked easily because he didn't want anyone to see the tears at the corners of his eyes.

Actually, at Chang Jing's and Xi Yan's level, even if one didn't light a lamp in the dark night, one would still be able to see things clearly. Therefore, before their boss had borrowed a lamp to return, they had already seen the pitiful father in their children's mouths.

The old man's pale and haggard face was devoid of any color. His skinny hands were currently placed horizontally on his lower abdomen. Perhaps it was because of the pain, but he still frowned from time to time. His hands were pressed tightly against the right side of his lower abdomen in an attempt to relieve some of the pain.

However, the pain made his emaciated head sweat profusely!

It wasn't that she hadn't seen patients before, but all of the patients she had met before were people who had fought with others and gotten injured, or who were seriously ill and couldn't get money for treatment – but at least the situation wasn't as bad as her father's. They had relatives and friends to take care of them.

Chang Jing pressed on her shoulder and comforted her not to cry, then asked her if she could still be saved.

Only then did Xi Yan remember that she was here to save him, not to sigh. She stopped crying and nodded her head seriously, ”Yes, she can be saved.”
