"Robbery! Robbery! Someone's stealing my bag! Somebody catch him!" cried a middle-aged woman's voice in desperation. An Yiqing and Kong Shi turned around and saw a young man, about twenty years old, holding a bag and charging rapidly towards them. Stumbling behind him was a disheveled middle-aged woman, calling out anxiously.
This was a luxury mall, where the number of customers was already few, and even fewer were those willing to apprehend a robber. An Yiqing looked around, seeing that the security guards hadn't arrived yet, and the people around her would rather stay far away. She felt somewhat helpless but quickly dragged Kong Shi to a safe corner to hide before charging out herself.
"Niuniu—" Kong Shi looked at her daughter with concern and called out worriedly.
"Mom, hide here and don't come out. I'll be right back," An Yiqing reassured her before quickly leaving.
