Jun Yueyue threw the phone directly at the man who was pulling Fang Anyu, and it bounced off his face and landed on the ground some distance away.
At this moment, the external elevator was still slowly descending. The person who was struggling with Fang Anyu was hit in the face by a phone and cried out in pain. The commotion was so loud that it attracted almost everyone’s attention.
”You son of a bitch!” The man was one step below the two of them. He covered his face and glared at Jun Yueyue. He took a few steps down the open elevator, got off first, but didn’t leave. Instead, he stared at Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyu with a gloomy expression.
He was very tall, even taller than Fang Anyu, and very strong. He had red marks on his face and stared at the two of them with a ferocious expression.
Jun Yueyue ignored him completely, turned her head to look at Fang Anyu, and saw that his wrist was twisted red, and he was holding a wallet in his hand, handing it to a young woman holding a child.
The young woman was oblivious to the loss of her wallet, as she was comforting her crying baby when Fang Anyu handed her the wallet with his red wrist. She immediately understood what had happened.
Jun Yueyue instantly understood what was going on. She grabbed Fang Anyu’s wrist, glanced at it, and saw that it had been twisted quite hard, but when she touched the bone, there was nothing wrong with it.
At this moment, everyone in the elevator went down to the first floor. Anyone with eyes could see what was going on—the thief had snatched the woman holding the child, but Fang Anyu stopped him.
This kind of thing is common, but what’s unusual is that the thief caught red-handed didn’t leave. Instead, he arrogantly stared at Fang Anyu and Jun Yueyue, pointing at Fang Anyu and saying, “He’s a thief! I caught him stealing. That woman is his accomplice. You’re not leaving here easily today!”
He was a habitual offender, skilled in his methods, and rarely caught. Petty theft resulted in fewer arrests and shorter sentences. He looked fierce and had two accomplices who were active in the area, committing crimes all over the place. Most of the shop owners in the mall knew them and would sometimes discreetly warn shoppers. However, this kind of coordinated crime was generally avoided, as people were afraid of retaliation. Losing a few hundred yuan was considered a loss, and no one would actually report it to the police. As a result, they became increasingly brazen.
Being falsely accused after performing an act of heroism is something Jun Yueyue has never encountered since the apocalypse, and Fang Anyu has never even left the house in the strictest sense, so both of them were a bit dumbfounded for a moment.
Although Fang Anyu was very closed off from the outside world, only knowing about it from television and books, it wasn’t that he had any heroic complex or loved to meddle in other people’s business. With his reaction, even if he wanted to meddle, he would have to realize it first. It was just that the man hadn’t initially reached for the woman holding the child, but for Fang Anyu.
Seeing that he was carrying so many bags, each containing valuable items, Fang Anyu’s four pockets had been thoroughly searched, and even his notebook had been pulled out, before he realized it.
This man was quite bold, perhaps relying on his fierce demeanor that made him unapproachable. So, in front of Fang Anyu, he flipped through his notebook, but couldn’t find any money. Seeing that Fang Anyu was a pretty boy who had been ripped off for so long and was still too afraid to say anything even after turning around to look at him, he contemptuously shoved the book back at him and spat on him.
Then, without any fear of being caught, he didn’t move an inch and stood right next to Fang Anyu, grabbing at other people, giving Fang Anyu plenty of time to react.
Fang Anyu finally realized that this was a thief. When he took out the woman’s bag in front of him, he reached out and snatched it away, then stuffed it back into his hand.
The man took it out again, and Fang Anyu reached out to snatch it. He immediately got angry, twisted Fang Anyu’s hand, but Jun Yueyue saw it in time and smashed her face with her phone…
The man’s shout was quite frightening. Those who had been there to watch the commotion dispersed. The woman holding the child was the one who had suffered the most; she shouldn’t have left. But when the man shouted, the already whiny child suddenly burst into tears.
The woman glanced back at Fang Anyu and Jun Yueyue, then quickly walked away with her child in her arms. Everyone knew the truth, but among the many people coming and going, not a single one spoke up for the two of them.
Seeing this, the man laughed and shouted even more arrogantly. He even waved to his companions in the distance, beckoning them over. He was going to teach that meddlesome pretty boy a lesson today!
Jun Yueyue was stunned for a moment, and also wanted to laugh a little. Mainly because she hadn’t encountered anything like this in many years. She had never been afraid of the man-eating zombies in the apocalypse, and this man wanted to stop her? Dream on.
She released Fang Anyu’s wrist, took off her small bag, hung it around Fang Anyu’s neck, and slowly took his notebook, writing down the sentence—Stand still.
But the older man couldn’t wait any longer. While she was writing, he came over, thinking he was on the moral high ground. He grabbed the chain of the bag around Fang Anyu’s neck, swung it around, and threw Fang Anyu to the ground.
Jun Yueyue’s face instantly darkened. She threw the notebook on the ground and went forward to pull it away. The thief pulled away, and Jun Yueyue exaggeratedly staggered back several steps, falling to the ground with a cry of “Ouch!”
That makes things easier—no matter what, it’s wrong to make the first move.
Jun Yueyue quickly got up, glanced in the direction the thief’s accomplice had come from, took two steps back, and shouted to the thief, “Brother, let’s talk this out! Look who’s coming from behind!”
The man didn’t take Jun Yueyue seriously at all, and sneered disdainfully. He was still holding Fang Anyu by the collar with one hand. After hearing Jun Yueyue’s words, he turned around. Jun Yueyue seized the opportunity, took two steps to his side, and used the momentum of her whole body to kick the man.
She’s no longer the superhuman Barbie from the post-apocalyptic world; she doesn’t have the ability to take down a kid with a single punch. With her thin arms and legs, she doesn’t possess any significant destructive power, which is why that guy didn’t take her seriously at all.
However, Jun Yueyue was a seasoned veteran, and certainly not foolish enough to overestimate her abilities. While she might be a weakling right now, her newly bought 10cm stilettos were anything but weak—sharp and razor-sharp.
This thief was a repeat offender. He had encountered fierce resistance before, and even those who could subdue him with both hands. But he never expected that after half a lifetime of this, he would end up having his stomach punctured by a high heel.
Jun Yueyue didn’t hold back at all; she aimed to instantly incapacitate him. Using her running start and momentum, combined with her own weight and the sharp high heels that could pierce the ground, and since it was summer and the man was only wearing a T-shirt, she kicked him. She was originally aiming for his waist, her intentions were extremely malicious, but the miniskirt limited the angle of her leg lift, and she kicked him in the stomach.
Of course, her landing posture was also not graceful. Her body was still too weak. Not only did she fall and hurt her arm terribly, but she also strained her hamstring. She was in so much pain that she was grimacing and dared not move.
However, her earth-shattering kick stunned everyone. The thief, clutching his stomach and holding a high heel, realized that his stomach was leaking air and knelt down. Blood seeped out from between his fingers, and immediately a series of pig-like screams rose and fell from all around.
Upon seeing this scene, the accomplice who had come to help the thief immediately slammed on the brakes and slipped away faster than anyone else.
Fang Anyu got up from the ground and squatted down next to Jun Yueyue to help her up. Jun Yueyue had fallen next to the guy with the protruding belly. Not far away, blood was leaking from the guy’s stomach and flowing from between his fingers.
However, Fang Anyu remained calm, showing no fear or surprise at the fact that Jun Yueyue had kicked someone in the stomach and caused a hole. He didn’t even look at the guy who was groaning in pain. He helped Jun Yueyue up, and despite having a bunch of bags on him, he didn’t lose a single one.
People nearby had already called the police. Just then, Fang Anyan, who had been frantically searching for the address over the phone, finally led his men in through the front door.
He ran up to the two people, about to yell at Jun Yueyue, who had disappeared all day with her brother and dared to block his number and hang up on him!
However, when he ran up to the scene and saw the bloody mess, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.
The police and ambulance arrived together, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Fang Anyan didn’t have time to vent his anger on Jun Yueyue. He only checked that the two of them had no obvious injuries and began to help them deal with the mess.
The thief was taken to the hospital. The onlookers, who had initially been watching, saw that the thief was no longer a threat and his accomplice had run away. Those who had witnessed the incident and were still there came forward to speak up for the two. This was actually quite infuriating. If so many people had been united in their hatred of the thief, he wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant, and things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
However, it is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, so Jun Yueyue was quite indifferent to this kind of thing. She even saw the victim whose wallet was picked, the woman who had clearly run away with her child, suddenly appear out of nowhere and testify for the two. In the end, with Fang Anyan’s help, the mall’s surveillance footage was retrieved, proving that the two were indeed acting bravely for a just cause.
As for the fact that someone was seriously injured later, Fang Anyan handled the dispute. Jun Yueyue was well aware of the outcome. Although she had no moral bottom line and wouldn’t feel any unease if she killed someone, this world was different from the apocalypse and still had the rule of law. Otherwise, she would have cracked the man’s head open with her high heel when he started to provoke her, instead of waiting for him to make the first move.
However, looking at Fang Anyan, who had been arguing with her for the past two days, calmly and sharply standing on the moral high ground to speak on her behalf to Fang Anyu, Jun Yueyue’s lost goodwill towards him as the male lead quietly rose again.
“The victim is my brother,” Fang Anyan said. “My brother is deaf and mute, and he is disabled! The man beat my sister-in-law. When it comes to beating women and disabled people, which party should the police investigate for responsibility?”
The police officer, holding a notebook with his statement, wanted to ask Fang Anyu and Jun Yueyue a few questions, but was stopped by Fang Anyan.
