No one was there to help...
Even if Amelia ran after him, she was not fast enough either.
If she did not run after him, she would lose her purse.
When Amelia climbed up the stairs and reached the entrance, the thief was preparing to cross the road.
She turned and glanced at the traffic light. There was five more seconds before the light turn green. By then, it would be the best time for the thief to run away and the worse time for her to go after him.
But if she let him cross the road, it would be impossible to chase him down again.
Amelia turned her eyes and grabbed the megaphone from a pancake vendor beside the road. She ran forward and shouted repeatedly, "The man in the white cap, black mask, the blue jacket is a thief!"
Amelia admitted that this was a desperate move. However, among all those people, there would be at least a kind person, right?
At this point, the thief was already halfway across the road and Amelia was still running behind him.
"It's useless!" The thief did hear the shouting behind him but he had carefully chosen this area. There were almost no guards at the exit of the subway and as soon as he got out of the subway, there was a crossroad, which was very convenient for him to escape from public...
He patted the purse in his trouser pocket. It was bulging, so there must be a lot of money in it. Otherwise, how could that girl be so pestering?
But suddenly...
Just as the thief was lost in his thought, he saw a silver sports car rushing towards him from the corner of his eyes...
With a loud 'bang', the thief flew out like a parabola!
"Slam!" The thief fell face first to the ground. Then, the purse fell out of his pocket...
Everyone froze when they saw this scene, Amelia was shocked too.
Oh my...
Amelia started to regret it, she did ask for help but she never wanted to send the thief flying in mid-air.
"Miss, can you return my megaphone now!"
Right at this moment, a rude voice dragged Amelia back into reality. She looked back and saw the vendor glaring at her.
Amelia quickly put the megaphone back into the other vendor's hand and said with an obsequious smile, "Hey bro, thank you very much, I'm sorry for this, desperate time calls for desperate measures."
"Fine." The vendor wiped the megaphone with his sleeve. Then, he turned his head and continued on doing his business.
Seeing that the other party was not going to blame her, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief and hurried back to the middle of the road.
As it was a car accident with a potential murder, the traffic police who was hiding at a random corner rushed over and evacuated the onlookers around the scene. Then, they knocked on the window of the silver sports car...
"Excuse me, please let me through..." When Amelia squeezed into the crowd, she saw a man getting out of the silver sports car.
He had delicate eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and a small mouth. His skin was as fair as snow.
Everyone could only tell he was a man as they could see his Adam's apple and flat chest.
"Hey, why did you ask me to step out from my car?"
The man leaned lazily on his sports car and asked the traffic police.
