Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

Shen Jinzhen glanced at him unintentionally and saw that it was the young man who had followed her secretly before. He was now beaten with a swollen nose and eyes, and blood at the corners of his mouth. If it weren't for the slightly familiar voice, she would not have recognized him.

"Your money didn't come from a legitimate source. I saw with my own eyes that you sold a piece of glass to a foreign merchant as a gem."

Although he was poor, he never robbed students, patients, or poor elderly people. He only stole from those who made money in an unscrupulous way. Their money came from illegal sources, and they dared not report it to the police after he stole it.

Who knew he would be so unlucky today? The man had tied a chain to his wallet, so he failed to steal and got caught instead.

Hearing him say that, the middle-aged man slapped him in the face.

He looked a little panicked. He didn't expect that this thief actually had some skills.

But everyone was still on his side at the moment, so he pretended to be angry and scolded:

"You little bastard, you can't read a word, but you have a very good tongue, you can say all kinds of nonsense."

The young man spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm onto the ground. What he hated most was the kind of person in front of him, who dressed like a decent human being and spoke in high-sounding terms, but was actually a beast in human skin, and he looked down on him.

Seeing the young man's eyes, the middle-aged man became vicious and guided the bystanders, "Now that Shanghai has returned to the original model, we should follow the original method of killing one person to warn the rest. If it were me, I would just drag him away and shoot him!"

"Yes, at a time like this, everyone is broke. These thieves don't think about building the country, but instead steal our people's money. They are despicable."

Some people were already poor, and when they saw the young man stealing money and showing an unrepentant attitude, they expressed their support.

But some people always feel that the crime does not deserve this, and that it is too harsh to shoot for such theft and robbery.

Shen Jinzhen also felt that the middle-aged people's reaction was too strong, but she was not in the mood to meddle in other people's affairs at the moment.

Her brother has not been found yet, and she will be leaving soon.

"If you steal anything from melons and dates, you will be shot. I sold someone's jade watch before and they didn't care. You are just a low-class person pretending to be rich."

The young man saw that the other party was determined to kill him, so he didn't bother to pretend anymore.

The sickly boy in his family was kinder than this man. It's a pity that after his death, there is no one to take care of him.

Shen Jinzhen originally wanted to leave, but when he heard these words, he just stood there in a daze.

It can’t be such a coincidence, is it the Patek Philippe jadeite in my brother’s hand?

This watch is very valuable and there are only a few of them in the country. She wants to know for sure, what if it is real?

She fished out a silver dollar from her pocket and squeezed through the crowd to the front. "He just stole your money. It's cruel to kill someone for such a small matter. I'll give you some money and let him go."

Shen Jinzhen put the silver dollar in the middle-aged man's hand and was about to leave with the young man.

"Wait a minute..." The middle-aged man weighed the money in his hand and looked at Shen Jinzhen with dissatisfaction in his tone, "It's just a few dollars, are you treating a beggar like that?"

Now after the war, everyone is very poor. Unlike in the past, one silver dollar now is enough for ordinary people to eat for a month.

The middle-aged man made things difficult for Shen Jinzhen only because he wanted to rip her off because of her kindness and desire to be a saint.

However, before the plan succeeded, the young man next to him started cursing:

"Bah! I didn't even succeed in stealing, and you still have the nerve to ask for money?"
