CHAPTER 92: CHAPTER 91: THEY’RE IN CAHOOTS!

Ye Manman didn’t know what suddenly came over him, a bit worried, she jogged over to follow.

Then she witnessed with her own eyes how He Chen, like a dragon, leaped over several obstacles with ease and swiftly pinned a man hidden among the crowd to the ground.

Because of He Chen’s immense burst of power, the man who was holding the woman’s bag and running had half his face almost ground down by the pavement when he was pinned down.

If it weren’t for that patch of ground being dirt, that half of his face would have been ground to pulp.

He cried out in pain, continually begging for mercy.

Yet He Chen had his shoulder and neck pressed firmly, with one knee harshly on his lower back, rendering him completely immobile.

Ye Manman jogged over, and seeing the person pinned on the ground by He Chen, anger quickly welled up within her beautiful eyes.

"It’s him! He’s the thief who snatched my bag last time! Despicable! He Chen, let’s take him to the police station!"

"Okay!"

No one expected that the thief who always slipped through police hands would show his face at such a moment today and even get caught by the sharp-eyed He Chen.

It was a truly unexpected delight, a moment of great relief.

Glancing at the bustling crowd near the entrance of the "Mandarin Duck Wardrobe" shop, Ye Manman guessed that this thief thought that in a crowd, no one would be watching him.

Seeing He Chen lift the thief up, with more bruises now on the thief’s face and body, Ye Manman felt immensely gratified.

This was the person who caused her so many days of trouble last time. Hmph, it’s finally his turn now!

The woman whose bag was snatched also hurried over with He Chen, and seeing the thief still holding onto her bag, she angrily scratched at him fiercely.

"Ouch! Miss, stop hitting, stop hitting! I’ll return the bag to you! Stop, it hurts!"

The thief, unable to escape He Chen’s grip, could only helplessly let the woman scratch him, leaving his face bloody, desperately begging for mercy.

The woman stopped after a while, gasping for air, clinging to her bag furiously.

"Even if I don’t hit you, you’re not going to get away! Today you have to sit in jail!"

She then looked at He Chen, dragging the thief with one hand with a grateful tone.

"Young man, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your quick action in catching him, my bag would be gone. Really, thank you very much!"

As she spoke, she attempted to pull out a big note to thank He Chen, but He Chen turned his head to glance at it and refused. His tone was calm and composed, showing no embarrassment or awkwardness at being thanked.

"It’s not necessary. Keep it yourself. Just come to the station and testify for us later."

In fact, her testimony wasn’t really needed since this thief had multiple offenses already, but having another eyewitness to add weight to the sentence was better, He Chen thought.

Though this time, the thief was hurt more severely than the last incident with Ye Manman, He Chen still didn’t feel relieved, wishing he could be locked up and never released.

How could someone like him compare to Ye Manman?

No matter how hurt he was, it wouldn’t take her back to a time without those pains.

Sometimes, just recalling Ye Manman covered in blood crawling up and crying in pain that day still made He Chen anxious.

Thinking of this, He Chen’s expression turned even colder, creating an aura that warned strangers to keep away, making others wary of talking to him casually.

Ye Manman, on the other hand, was completely unaffected, her finger grasped in He Chen’s hand as he dragged the thief with the other hand.

She was very excited, wanting to quickly take the man to the police station, but unknown to her, perhaps someone in the previous crowd had already called the police, as they had not gone far when several officers were already approaching.

The lead was the familiar Officer Liu Tianhu.

"Hey! You really did it, catching this guy!"

"Brothers, two of you come and cuff him, while some others go pick up those causing trouble ahead. These people really have nothing better to do than stir up trouble on the streets."

Officer Liu jogged over, letting two officers take the bloodied thief away, having no interest in the commotion ahead, and walked with He Chen and others toward the police station.

The woman whose bag was snatched saw the police arrive and hurriedly recounted the entire incident to Liu Tianhu in an exaggerated tone, stressing the need to properly praise He Chen.

Having done such a good deed for the police, Liu Tianhu was naturally very happy, agreeing to everything.

At the station, due to the limited space, the troublemakers including Ye Xiaotong met again with He Chen, who acted heroically.

Cheng Yuan was evidently frightened by Ye Xiaotong, her face ghostly pale with no one around to support her, making her look particularly pitiable standing in the station.

Ye Manman, thinking He Chen just needed to make a statement about catching the thief, walked over to Cheng Yuan, softly comforting her.

"It’s okay, don’t be afraid. Officer Liu is very fair, and you did nothing wrong. It was all their family causing trouble."

Her company and words were like a tonic, calming Cheng Yuan’s anxiously beating heart.

Thinking it over, she nodded in agreement.

"You’re right, thank you, Manman."

Ye Manman was right; she never intervened in someone else’s marriage, always rejecting Xie Fengmian. No wrongdoing could be pinned on her.

However, not everyone is reasonable.

Even after entering the police station, Ye Xiaotong still believed it was right to follow and catch the adulteress.

On the way, she reasoned it out—one hand wouldn’t clap alone, Xie Fengmian’s mistake must have started with the woman’s seduction, and she didn’t want a divorce and to lose everything, so she continued to glare at Cheng Yuan.

As Ye Manman went over to speak with Cheng Yuan, a light bulb went off in Ye Xiaotong’s head.

She suddenly realized that they seemed very familiar with each other.

Ignoring Officer Liu’s unfinished questioning, she pointed at Ye Manman and Cheng Yuan, shouting.

"Officer! They are in cahoots! They’re deliberately trying to break up Fengmian and me! One Ye Manman in front and her behind, they’re targeting my family!"

"Officer, you must stand up for me! I’m pregnant with a child!"

Seeing Ye Manman and Cheng Yuan’s disbelieving looks, the more she thought, the more convinced she was of her assumption.

"Officer, look, they’re like two peas in a pod! My sister Ye Manman just moved to town; how could she be so close with this woman living here? And just so conveniently, one after the other, trying to seduce my husband!"

"They must’ve colluded early on. Ye Manman was inconvenient due to her marriage, so this little vixen was sent to seduce my husband and make him divorce me, abandon his wife and child! Officer, you have to get justice for me!"

Her finger pointing at Cheng Yuan trembled slightly, her tone venomous as if wanting to skin someone alive.

"Such a vixen cannot be allowed to stay. Look at her, a seductive face, here specifically to ruin other families!"
