Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Arrogant Thief

Despite Xiao Yifei owning that very sleek and stylish sports car, he still did not drive it, opting instead to commute to and from work on the bus each day, today was no exception.

Seeing the sudden howling winds outside, clearly indicating a change in the weather, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but quickly shrink his neck and hurriedly run toward the bus stop.

"I really hope it doesn’t rain this time!"

Muttering to himself, Xiao Yifei quickly headed to the bus stop. Summer rains could be downpours, and without an umbrella, he did not want to end up drenched on his way home. Thus, Xiao Yifei could only pray fervently that it wouldn’t rain.

As Xiao Yifei was feeling intensely anxious, the bus arrived right on time. He quickly stepped onto the bus, and just as he did, huge raindrops suddenly began pounding down outside.

"Good, good, I didn’t get caught in the rain."

Xiao Yifei felt secretly relieved, but upon entering the bus, he was shocked by the crowded scene.

"So many people!"

Xiao Yifei silently complained, then squeezed into the crowd.

It was the peak of rush hour, so it was understandable that the bus was packed.

Xiao Yifei, holding onto a handle, looked around for a comfortable place to stand, but he couldn’t find any. However, with his keen eyes, he suddenly spotted a suspicious-looking young man nearby, who was stealthily reaching towards the bag of a country woman standing in front of him. The country woman seemed unaware, staring blankly ahead.

"A thief?"

Xiao Yifei frowned sharply upon seeing this and pushed through the crowd towards the suspicious-looking young man.

Just then, the driver’s sudden braking gave Xiao Yifei the opportunity. He lunged next to the thief and squeezed him away from the country woman, positioning himself behind her.

And, of course, the thief’s hopes of stealing were completely thwarted by Xiao Yifei.

The thief looked up, glaring furiously at Xiao Yifei. However, Xiao Yifei, as if oblivious to the threatening look, remained steadfast behind the country woman.

"Kid, you better not mess with me, or you’ll regret it!"

The shifty-looking thief scanned his surroundings, seeming to notice that the country woman in front of Xiao Yifei was the easiest target and the most vulnerable. So, he approached again, drawing a knife from his pocket, flashing it menacingly as he whispered a threat to Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei tilted his head to look at the thief, puzzled by the boldness, wondering internally.

"Are all thieves as brazen as you these days?"

Xiao Yifei, slightly confused, asked the thief who was shorter than him.

"Quit your yapping! Get the hell out of my way!"

The thief looked up at Xiao Yifei, who was taller than him, yet without a trace of fear in his heart, he smirked and said.

"So you’re resorting to outright robbery now!"

Xiao Yifei, gazing at the thief, finally raised his voice. He tilted his head and looked at the thief with a displeased expression.

At that moment, the other passengers on the bus finally realized what was happening. With worry in their eyes, their first reaction was to hurriedly move to the side, leaving Xiao Yifei without any help from them.

Seeing this, the thief no longer felt the need to hide. He pulled out a small knife and pointed it directly at Xiao Yifei: "What about it? You want to meddle in other people’s business, eh?"

Xiao Yifei turned his head to see everyone frantically hiding to the side, leaving a large space empty around him. He didn’t feel upset that no one had come forward to help. After all, people were afraid of getting involved. However, he couldn’t help but wonder if the bus had really been as crowded as it seemed just before.

"If you don’t want to die, just keep quiet! Dare to meddle in my affairs, do you really want to live!"

The thief’s knife gleamed menacingly as he pointed it straight at Xiao Yifei.

At that moment, the country woman finally turned around, albeit belatedly. Despite the summer heat, she was still wearing long sleeves and pants. It was unclear whether she felt hot in her red top and green pants, which made her look very rural. Her face, smeared with something black and purple, made it hard to tell what she actually looked like. She carried a large bulging bag, inside which it was unknown what was contained. It was this bag that the thief had initially targeted.

The country woman, upon seeing the gleaming knife in the thief’s hand, couldn’t help but step back in fear. However, she quickly hugged the bag she was carrying and looked at the thief with panic-filled eyes, blurting out, "What do you want! I...I’m telling you, I’m not easy to mess with!"

Unexpectedly, despite her rural appearance and face obscured by dirt, her voice was rather clear, tinged with a rural accent.

"What do I want? Hand over that bag in your hand! That’s right! I’m openly robbing you now!"

Seeing how anxious the country woman was about her bag, the thief’s eyes lit up as he harshly commanded her.

"Do you think I’m invisible?"

Xiao Yifei frowned, addressing the thief, who should now be called a robber.

"Looks like you really want to meddle!"

The thief glared menacingly at Xiao Yifei, shaking the gleaming knife in his hand, and coldly said to him, pointing at the other passengers who had moved far away, "I advise you to be like them, staying far out of this, or else my knife won’t care who it cuts!"

Being a seasoned thief, he had encountered many people over the years. Most of them, upon being slightly threatened, would hurriedly leave in panic. Even those who wanted to interfere, would cower as soon as he brandished his knife, leaving without uttering another word.

As people increasingly feared getting involved, adopting an attitude of indifference, it only emboldened the thief. Today, seeing how nervous the country woman was about her bag excited him even more. Judging by her appearance, she seemed like someone who had come to Yanjing to find work, and such migrant workers often liked to carry cash with them.

The thief’s face broke into an excited grin: "This is really a windfall! After this hit, I can live comfortably for a few more days!"

He turned his head and saw Xiao Yifei standing there, frowning at him, yet he remained silent.

"Humph! That’s more like it. Otherwise, I’d make you regret it!"
