"Who the hell put your wallet in my pocket? Huh? Who did it?"
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she noticed everyone around was looking at her.
Her head buzzed instantly, and she shook it violently.
Gong Jian had originally put his wallet in Li Ziling's bag, but it unexpectedly appeared in the middle-aged woman's hand.
He immediately thought that this middle-aged woman must be a pickpocket, and she might have even seen his actions, so her fingers itched and she pocketed the wallet herself.
Or perhaps she was already planning to target Li Ziling.
But this couldn't quell the anger of having his plan disrupted.
He immediately pointed at the middle-aged woman and yelled, "You trash, you call yourself a private detective? I think you're just a private thief! Give me back my wallet!"
Slap!
The middle-aged woman slapped him, "Who are you calling a private thief? Watch what you say. How would I know your wallet was in my pocket?"
"Heh, why is it in your pocket? Shouldn't you be the one asking yourself? Did my wallet grow legs and walk over there itself? You stole my wallet and then hit me, you're too brazen!" Gong Jian said angrily.
"Damn it, I didn't steal any money! Someone else put it in my pocket, and as a private detective, am I not as rich as you? Let me show you the supreme VIP bank card in my wallet!"
The middle-aged woman reached into her pocket and felt nothing but air.
"Huh? Where's my money?" The middle-aged woman was stunned.
"Come on, let me see your supreme VIP bank card? You can't produce it, can you? I think your brain is scrambled, mistaking a membership card from an elder fraud prevention center for a bank card?" Gong Jian taunted.
"You... whoever stole my wallet, hand it over! My wallet! You bastard, you're jumping around so much, it was you, wasn't it? Hand it over!"
The middle-aged woman lunged at Gong Jian, her face contorted.
"Ah! You old hag, don't come near me!" Gong Jian said agitatedly.
Slap, slap…
"I'll slap your face until you wake up, you calling me a thief!"
Gong Jian also got angry, "Damn it, you're asking for death!"
He threw caution to the wind and slapped her back.
The two immediately began to wrestle.
They were evenly matched at first, but the middle-aged woman suddenly grabbed Gong Jian's crotch, causing him to cry out in pain.
Thump!
A pink wallet fell out of Gong Jian's pocket.
The middle-aged woman paused for a moment, then screamed, "Good! I knew you were a delinquent. My wallet was indeed stolen by you! You damned brat, how dare you steal my wallet, I'll fight you!"
"Quick! Quickly, make this guy let me go, my balls..."
Gong Jian's two yellow-haired accomplices, who had been pretending to be uninvolved, could no longer maintain their act. One of them kicked the middle-aged woman away, "Damn it, that's enough! You shrew."
"You dare call me a shrew? I'll beat your face into a pulp!"
The four soon got into a brawl.
Gong Jian and his two companions had been trying to keep a low profile and hadn't gone too far. However, the middle-aged woman's fighting ability was too strong, and their faces were stinging from her blows.
They couldn't help but retaliate fiercely, and the scene descended into chaos.
Chen Jie had been watching from the sidelines.
He was certain that Gong Jian and his two companions had ill intentions towards Li Ziling, and this middle-aged woman was no good either. He felt no sympathy.
Chen Jie put the cosmetics back into the bag and handed it to Li Ziling.
Li Ziling thanked him.
She glanced into the bag with some confusion, and then her pretty face flushed.
She turned to Chen Jie and said, "Thank you."
She said this because she had seen her personal belongings in the bag.
She had initially thought Chen Jie had stepped forward to expose her true nature, but now she realized Chen Jie seemed to have noticed her predicament and had stepped forward to save her from embarrassment.
"That's enough! If you want to fight, get out of my car!" the driver said sternly.
Hearing this, the four had to stop.
"Now that your wallets were found in each other's pockets, how do you want to handle this?" the driver asked.
Gong Jian and the middle-aged woman had clearly not anticipated this situation.
However, pursuing the matter further would likely result in both sides being equally blamed.
They both snorted coldly, indicating they would let it go.
"Alright then, I'm driving. Anyone who wants to get off now, hurry up!" The driver glanced at them.
The middle-aged woman stomped her foot and got off first.
She had lost so much face on the bus that she naturally didn't dare to stay any longer.
However, Gong Jian and his two companions exchanged glances and did not get off.
The vehicle started to move slowly and soon reached the next stop.
Li Ziling, carrying her bag, got off in a hurry.
Gong Jian and his two companions quickly followed her off the bus.
Seeing this, if Chen Jie hadn't known beforehand, it would have been understandable.
But now that he clearly knew Gong Jian and his two companions had bad intentions towards Li Ziling, it would be wrong not to intervene.
So, after a moment of hesitation, he also stood up and got off the bus.
"Stop right there!"
Gong Jian and his two companions had not followed Li Ziling for long when they shouted.
Li Ziling turned back in confusion and, seeing the three of them, said foolishly, "Do you need something?"
"Heh heh, of course we need something, something big! Little girl, you have to come with us!"
Gong Jian dropped his pretense and, along with the other two, trotted to block Li Ziling's path.
Gong Jian said with ill intent, "Little girl, tell me, how did you put my wallet in that stinky woman's pocket?"
"Alright! Your trick was very clever, it got the three of us into a lot of trouble."
Li Ziling's face showed realization as she pointed at them, "I know, you're after me!"
She then pointed at Gong Jian, "It was you, you deliberately put the wallet in my bag!"
"Heh heh heh…"
Gong Jian chuckled, but as he bared his teeth, the area on his face that the middle-aged woman had scratched sent a pang of pain.
"Can you tell us now how you did it?" Gong Jian asked.
Li Ziling's mind immediately recalled Chen Jie's face.
He was the first one to look through her bag.
While feeling grateful, she warily looked at the three of them, "What do you want?"
"If you don't tell us, it's fine, we're not that interested in knowing!"
The three formed a triangle, surrounding Li Ziling.
Gong Jian said to the other two, "The employer didn't say whether they wanted them alive or dead. This little lady is so pretty, why don't the three of us have some fun first?"
The other two immediately drooled, "Then let's have some fun."
The three immediately grabbed Li Ziling's shoulders, "This little lady has such tender skin, truly tempting. Come on, let's find a toilet and take you for some fun."
"Ah! You bastards, let go of me!"
Li Ziling realized what was about to happen, her small face filled with terror.
Just then, a young figure walked over from not far away.
