Chapter 1543: 1543 robbery
Delayed by them, Tan Rou had wasted a lot of time, which meant she had to endure even more sun exposure outside.
Next time she went out, she would have Samiyi arrange for a car. That way, she wouldnât run into trouble. After all, the King already knew about Agira being with Kas, what else was there to hide?
Just when Tan Rou was about to take a shortcut to Kasâs place, she suddenly sensed someone following her, but she didnât stop, continuing on her path.
This alley was rather secluded, but the buildings on both sides were tall and the alley was narrow, so no sunlight got in.
However, such an alley easily gave rise to unexpected events, like now, when two men with covered faces appeared in front of Tan Rou, and soon another three emerged from behind her.
Tan Rou said calmly, âWhy are you blocking my way?â
Hoodlum number one said with a laugh, âRecently, the brothers have been a bit short on cash and wanted to ask you for a loan.â
Tan Rou sneered, âAre you planning to repay the loan?â
All the hoodlums laughed out loud, âHahaha, weâll pay you back when we have money, but weâre never going to have any.â
âI donât have any money either,â said Tan Rou. âSo I canât lend it to you.â
âStop talking nonsense. We just heard those young ladies say that youâre with the princess; how can someone from the princessâs side not have money?â hoodlum number two said.
Hoodlum number three shouted, âWe just saw you take out a pen to write, that pen looks expensive, and you also have a watch with diamonds on your wrist, so you must be rich.â
The pen was a gift from Zhuang Liu, a high-tech pen newly produced by their company that could not only write but also record audio, serve as a locator, and in an emergency, it could turn into a sturdy mini knife.
âHow is that any of your business?â Tan Rou said, âBesides, that pen isnât worth much, I picked it up from the ground because I thought it looked nice to write with. As for the watch, I rented it, and the lease ends tomorrow.â
Hoodlum number two said, âIt doesnât matter; weâll just snatch the watch, it can definitely be sold for a good price.â
Of course, it could be sold for a good price, the watch didnât look that high-end, but in fact, it was worth an eight-figure sum. Tan Rou rarely wore it out and usually wore a modified watch. She didnât expect that wearing this watch today would get her into trouble.
âIâm really sorry, but I truly canât give you this watch,â Tan Rou said, hands in pockets, putting on a relaxed demeanor, âIf you want one, earn the money and buy it yourself. I see youâre all able-bodied, so as long as you work hard, youâll eventually be able to buy your own watch.â
Hoodlum number one laughed loudly, âGirl, youâre too naive; why work when robbery is faster? Let me tell you the truth, we brothers have stolen quite a few things around here. Youâre unlucky to have bumped into us today.â
Tan Rou had seen robberies before; when she was in high school, she would get cornered every now and then, but it had been so long since she had encountered so many robbers at once that she wasnât used to it.
âOh,â Tan Rou said as she took off her watch, âHere, Iâm giving this to you. Send someone over to take it.â
The men didnât move as they had just witnessed Tan Rou take action, so they were somewhat apprehensive.
âYou go,â hoodlum number one nudged number twoâs shoulder.
Number two pushed number three, âYou go take it!â
Number three called out to number four across the way, âYou go take it.â
Number four didnât want to either, âIf you want to go, then go, Iâm not going.â
Tan Rou said with a smile, âThe item is right here, if you donât come and take it, Iâll have to leave, Iâm in a hurry.â
The hoodlums hesitated for a moment, then decided to go over together.
Tan Rou thought it was good that they were coming over together; it saved her the trouble of dealing with them one by one.
As the hoodlums approached, Tan Rou quickly snatched the watch back, and with a backhanded punch, she hit the one closest to her so hard that he doubled over clutching his stomach, and with a spin, she kicked another one in the chest, sending him reeling as if he was about to vomit blood.
Then, grabbing the clothing of the other two hoodlums with one hand each, she banged their heads together, knocking them out cold.
Only one was leftâŠ
