Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1591 - 1565: Misunderstood
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Of course, the man couldn’t just stay there all the time, thinking of slipping away quickly.
Ye Chen clearly understood the man’s thoughts, staring intently at him.
As soon as the man made any suspicious movement, he could take action.
The tourist who was just in line continued to shout.
"My phone is missing, there’s a thief here."
Her cries also drew the attention of the people around.
Everyone quickly checked their bags for any missing items.
The man was already prepared to run, and because he was standing relatively towards the back, it was very easy for him to escape.
If he said he no longer wanted to wait, people behind would not only not be suspicious but would also be quite pleased.
"Guys, you go ahead. I don’t want to do this anymore."
The man said with a smile to the couple behind him.
After all, Ye Chen had no evidence. Normally, he wouldn’t be able to confront him.
One must know, this carried risks. If nothing was found, the man could counter-sue.
The man confidently walked towards the exit, only to be stopped when passing by Ye Chen.
The man’s face turned ugly as he glared at Ye Chen and said viciously.
"Kid, I don’t know you. Why are you looking for a fight with me?"
Ye Chen couldn’t help but find it amusing at these words. He thought this man was truly shameless.
"You don’t know what you’ve done?"
"Know what? Get out of my way quickly, or I’ll call the police."
Ye Chen looked at the man and smiled.
"Go ahead."
He knew the man wasn’t likely to call the police, because he’d committed a crime.
The man was so angry at Ye Chen’s response he was about to explode.
As far as he remembered, he hadn’t stolen anything from Ye Chen. So why wouldn’t this young man let him go?
"Brother, maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us. How about we talk somewhere else?"
The man’s attitude softened, and his eyes became much kinder.
He wanted to lure Ye Chen to a place where his accomplices were.
There were too many people here, so it was inconvenient for him to make a move on Ye Chen.
"No need, we can talk here."
Ye Chen said calmly.
The man was nearly driven crazy by Ye Chen. He felt he hadn’t checked his horoscope today; otherwise, how could he have met such a persistent guy?
"There are too many people here. It’s inconvenient. We can negotiate."
The man said with a smile looking at Ye Chen.
Clearly, he was hinting to Ye Chen that he could offer him some benefits.
Ye Chen understood perfectly well, but he shook his head and said.
"I just want to see what’s in your bag."
"That’s not possible. My bag contains valuable items."
The man retorted.
It was impossible for him to show Ye Chen the contents of his bag; that would be the end of everything.
Listening to their conversation, the people around looked at Ye Chen with astonishment.
They thought Ye Chen was too brazen, trying to rob someone in broad daylight, and criticized him.
"What’s wrong with young people today? Doing such things."
"Yeah, their courage is way too big."
"Indeed, I’ve been hearing this young man asking for that man’s bag."
The onlookers were clueless, all siding with the man, and someone even called the police.
The man realized he couldn’t stay there any longer; once the police arrived, it would all be over.
"I have other things to do, no time to waste here with you. Let’s pretend nothing happened."
The man pretended to be magnanimous and said.
"No need. The truth will come out when the police arrive."
The man wasn’t foolish enough to wait for the police. He had already planned his escape route.
Just as the man was about to flee, Ye Chen seized the opportunity to grab his bag. His movement was so quick, the man was unprepared.
Then he extended a foot to trip the man.
The man angrily pounded the ground with his fist, knowing that he was completely finished.
Ye Chen opened the man’s bag and saw five or six mobile phones and a few wallets inside. It was quite a haul.
If the man hadn’t been so greedy, he would have left already and none of this would have happened.
The man deeply regretted stealing from that girl earlier; otherwise, he wouldn’t have caught Ye Chen’s attention.
Seeing what was in the man’s bag, those who had been blaming Ye Chen before now looked embarrassed.
They realized they had wronged Ye Chen and understood he was the good guy here, while the man was the thief.
At that moment, the police also arrived on the scene and quickly understood the situation.
"Young man, is this the thief you caught?"
The leading officer asked, looking at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded and said.
"Everything in this bag was stolen by him inside the park. You should find the robbed tourists quickly."
"Alright, don’t worry, we’ll get in touch with the victims."
The officer responded.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Ye Chen said.
"I recognize two of the victims. I can take you to them."
"That would be great, thank you so much."
The police officer said with a smile.
Fan Ying then approached, looking at Ye Chen and then at the man on the ground, and asked.
"Brother Ye Chen, you caught a thief, that’s really amazing."
She felt it was incredible that Ye Chen caught a thief in such a short time; it was like a miracle.
Seeing that Fan Ying wanted to say more, Ye Chen gave her a look, signaling her to be quiet.
Fan Ying understood and quickly kept her mouth shut.
"Officer, I’ll take you to find that victim."
Ye Chen said, looking at the police.
With Ye Chen leading, the police reached the tourist who was in line earlier.
Seeing the police arrive, the tourist quickly said.
"Officer, my phone is missing. It must have been stolen here in the park."
"See if your phone is here."
The officer handed the bag to the tourist and said.
The tourist looked excited and said.
"This phone is mine."
She took out her phone from the bag and said.
"Ma’am, I need you to come to the station to give a statement. Thank you for your cooperation."
The woman was more than willing; at this moment, she felt like she had something back she thought was lost for good.
"Yes, yes, I’ll come with you right away."
The woman said with a smile.
"Xiao Zhang, quickly take this lady to give her statement. Don’t let her wait too long."
The officer said to his colleague beside him.
The colleague took the tourist away.
Ye Chen, Fan Ying, and the thief then took a police car to find the other victim.
After driving for a little while, Ye Chen shouted.
"Stop."
The girl saw the man getting out of the police car, who had promised to help her, Ye Chen.
She seemed to see hope.
