Petite Mother of Four Big Shots - Chapter 40.1
Chapter 40: Lin Shaosi’s Anger (1)
Pi Kunxing was a certified thief. He had no particular fondness for one thing and stole just about everything. He was in and out of prison often, even so, he still hadn’t changed. He decided to make a living by stealing just so he could reap without sowing, so that he could live comfortably.
So far all was good, except for the last two days when his luck had taken a terrible hit. He’d just spent the last of his money, wasn’t in a mood for stealing and as such was out of luck for dinner today.
He wandered around casually, looking at the people around him with a pair of hidden eyes; he could zero in on his prey at a glance, which ones were worthy of stealing and which a waste of time.
While scouting, he noticed a young couple. One of them was carrying the other … young people nowadays. Also, his intuition told him that these two young people were worthless.
He tried not to sway easily, he heard the little girl asking for a charging cable to charge her mobile phone and glanced over. Oh, sure enough, she is rich!
If he stole the mobile phone, he reckoned he could easily sell it for at least 10,000 yuan.
Pikunxing’s small eyes lit up and he took the initiative to come forward to speak-
“Little Sister, your mobile phone is expensive. Most people don’t have this kind of charger, but the mobile phone shop sells it. If you are in a hurry to charge, just buy one.”
When Gu Yuanyuan heard this, she looked back and asked, “Do you know where the nearest mobile phone shop is?”
“Of course, I know.” Pi Kunxing smiled. “I have nothing to do. I’ll take you there.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
“I’m barely thirty and just a little short of hair. How did I become an uncle?!” Pi Kunxing grumbled under his breath.
The reason why Pi Kunxing dared to talk with the two youngsters with much confidence was because of the fact that he had once hung out with their big brother*. Big brother had a few tricks on his sleeves and taught him some moves.
[*Big Brother aka gang leader.]
These skills allowed him to scam three or four adults alone easily. So, two people who didn’t know how to live on the streets should be a piece of cake, right? At the possibility of earning 10,000 yuan, he felt joy and hummed a little tune as he walked.
It took only ten minutes, a bruised nose, and an aching hand for Pi Kunxing to learn one of the most important lessons of his life, one he reckoned even Big Brother wouldn’t be able to teach- things are never what they seem!
The joy of making money just then was replaced by remorse and pain, as the thief led the pair of teens to a mobile phone shop in a docile manner. He kept shooting furtive glances their way, as his wounded nose kept reminding him of the punch just then.
Qian Xian squatted on the ground with Pi Kunxing, while Gu Yuanyuan entered the store.
Finally, the phone turned on. Gu Yuanyuan found that there were a few missed calls from Lin Shaosi along with several WeChat messages and immediately called him.
At this moment, Lin Shaosi learned through Jiang Yun’s report that Lu Wenchen had gone to the hotel that was under the name of Lu Family
He drove directly towards the Lu family Hotel.
When he received a phone call from Gu Yuanyuan and heard a familiar voice from the receiver, Lin Shaosi was silent for a few seconds. When he spoke, he was somewhat dull: “Where are you now?”
“Xiao Si, I’ll be back in a while-” Gu Yuanyuan’s joyous voice sounded from the other end.
Lin Shaosi interrupted her. “Report your location! Send your location! Now!”
Gu Yuanyuan obediently sent it.
“I’m hungry.” Qian Xian walked in.
Gu Yuanyuan bought a power bank and went out to see Pi Kunxing, who was still squatting. She still had to call the police to deal with this habitual thief, and she did just that.
Hearing Gu Yuanyuan calling the police, Pi Kunxing’s face changed drastically. Regardless of the severe pain from his hand, he jumped up to run out. Once he was in the clutches of the police, it would be several months before he could see daylight again, and he wasn’t exactly looking forward to it.
Knowing that there was a lot of food to eat right after this incident, Qian Xian was momentarily excited. He grabbed a hold at Pi Kunxing and said, “If you dare to run away again, I surely will break your neck next time.”
That alone was enough to scare Pi Kunxing who did not dare to move again. He only looked at Gu Yuanyuan with a sad face, but the latter was unmoved.
There was a dumpling shop opposite the mobile phone shop. Gu Yuanyuan went in with Qian Xian, ordered ten plates, and turned to ask him, “Is it enough?”
Qian Xian squinted his eyes happily. “It should be enough.”
