Zhuang Nainai saw his figure disappear around the corner. Then, she lowered her head and took out her cellphone, intending to play around with it. However, when she pulled it out, she realized that she hadn’t activated international roaming. Thus, she couldn’t use her cell phone.
She put her phone away, then started to observe the airport as she was bored.
It was not quite the same as the airports back in China. However, as Zhuang Nainai was observing the interior in her boredom, she saw a figure flash past her from the side. It shocked her!
Zhuang Nainai patted her chest vigorously, then lowered her head. It was only then that she realized that the bag she had placed by her side was gone!
She hadn’t expected that she would b.u.mp into a thief!
Zhuang Nainai’s first reaction was to jump to her feet.
She had her pa.s.sport and identification card in her bag. If she were to let the thief go like this, she would have a lot of trouble getting around as a foreigner.
Without thinking, she chased after the thief!
“Stop right there!” Zhuang Nainai shouted in Mandarin. The thief turned around to look at her and stuck out his tongue at her. He said something in English, which Zhuang Nainai could not comprehend.
Zhuang Nainai was furious. “Stop and return my bag!”
When the police officers in the airport heard this, they picked up their walkie-talkies and started calling out to the surrounding bystanders.
At this moment, Zhuang Nainai had caught up with the thief. The thief deliberately slowed down to taunt her. He licked his lips and spouted a whole string of English words. Although Zhuang Nainai still couldn’t understand him, she recognized the tone and knew that he was hurling profanities at her. Zhuang Nainai took hold of her bag and was intending to s.n.a.t.c.h it from his grasp when the thief loosened his grip on it, then reached out toward her chest!
Zhuang Nainai was so angry that she clenched her fist and punched him without thinking!
She aimed her punch in an area that would leave an excruciating amount of pain, then poked at his eyes. Whilst the thief was trying to fend off her attack, Zhuang Nainai s.n.a.t.c.hed her bag from him, then started to hit him with it.
This thief was rotten to the core!
As Zhuang Nainai continued hitting him with her bag, the police officers rushed to the scene and started talking.
The thief was on the ground, cowering and protecting his head. He said something in English with a regional accent. Zhuang Nainai couldn’t make out what he was saying.
She stopped hitting him, then opened her bag to check if all her things were safely inside. They were, and it was only then that she could rest a.s.sured. She then kept her bag close to her and turned around, intending to walk away. However, the police officers stopped her from leaving.
They spoke to her in English, but to Zhuang Nainai, it was nothing but a string of gibberish.
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
What were they trying to say to her?!
She stared at the police officers dazedly, who were trying to communicate with her through body language. Then, she said in haltering English, “He… thief, let me go.”
The police officers stared at her, then shook their heads.
Zhuang Nainai thought to herself, d.a.m.n!
What did the police officers mean? Why were they shaking their heads and refusing to let her go?
Zhuang Nainai anxiously glanced around, hoping to find Si Zhengting. However, this airport was really huge, and she had been chasing after the thief for quite a while. She had no idea where Si Zhengting was.
She suddenly thought of Si Zhengting’s mobile number and her eyes lit up. Then, she said to the police officers, “Mobile phone.”
The police officers continued to shake their heads at her.
Zhuang Nainai was getting annoyed. They didn’t want to let her go and they weren’t allowing her to seek help from others as well. What did they want from her, then?!
