The bag not only contained things like a camera, phone, and wallet but also several pieces of music Xu Xia had written over the past two days when inspiration struck. To her, it was extremely important, and with her personality, she wasn’t about to let anyone take it away.
Two people, one running and the other chasing.
"Catch him!"
While chasing, Xu Xia shouted loudly in English, but no one paid any attention. Two pedestrians on the street saw the scene and quickly moved aside.
On the roadside, a car swiftly stopped, and a man jumped out of the driver’s seat and joined her in chasing the black boy.
They ran across two streets, and when the black boy realized he couldn’t shake them off, he turned and darted into a small alley. Xu Xia immediately turned and followed him in.
The black boy ran to the end of the alley, only to find it was a dead end with an iron fence. He grabbed the bars and started to climb up, but Xu Xia had already rushed over, grabbed his leg forcefully, and pulled him off the bars.
The black boy fell heavily to the ground, and Xu Xia immediately grabbed her backpack from his hands, trying to snatch it back. The boy kicked out, and Xu Xia jumped aside. The black boy scrambled up from the ground, a flashing knife already visible between his fingers.
"Let go, or I’ll kill you!"
He waved the knife, shouting angrily.
Xu Xia showed no fear, her hand firmly gripping the shoulder strap, "Give me back my things, and you can leave!"
The two of them were both holding onto the strap, neither willing to let go.
Seeing the man closing in, the black boy’s eyes flashed with panic. He stepped forward and slashed the spring knife towards Xu Xia.
"Watch out!"
Just as Xu Xia was about to kick, a dark figure rushed in from behind and shielded her before the knife could reach her.
