Li Manni heard the commotion, immediately turned her head, and was startled by the pickpocket.
By the usual rules, the thief should have run for it with his head ducked down by now.
After all, robbery is the business of robbers, not pickpockets.
Unexpectedly, seeing Li Manni alone, the thief bent down to pick up the wallet and decided to snatch it instead of just stealing.
Li Manni froze for a second, then hurried after him, shouting, "Thief, help, there's a thief!"
People kept coming and going, but not a single person stepped in.
The thief moved fast, and within a blink, he was already a hundred meters ahead of Li Manni, darting into a secluded alley.
He opened the wallet and took a look—a thick wad of bills inside, at least ten grand.
"Damn, this chick is fucking loaded!"
The thief grinned, calculating in his head where to go have some fun tonight.
