Chapter 13

Shen Ye walked over and asked, "What happened?"

The curious onlookers immediately started chattering, telling him, "This poor old lady..."

Apparently, the old woman had just withdrawn 50,000 yuan from the bank when she was targeted by a thief. This was her life savings, which she and her husband had slowly accumulated over time by collecting and selling trash. Her granddaughter had recently been diagnosed with leukemia and the money was intended to pay for her chemotherapy treatment. When the old woman realized the money was gone, the thief had already left. Overcome with grief and anger, the old woman collapsed to the ground and wept uncontrollably.

The bank staff immediately reported the incident to the police, who arrived quickly to console the old woman. Unfortunately, the thief had already disappeared without a trace. The bank had surveillance footage of the two young thieves who had fled on a motorcycle.

The old woman was desperate, as the stolen money was meant to save her granddaughter's life. She couldn't bear to face her husband and granddaughter. She was so distraught that she nearly threw herself into a flower bed.

The police were currently searching for the thieves but had no leads yet. Two officers and the bank staff discussed what to do and decided to contribute some money from their own pockets to help the old woman. Several kindhearted onlookers also expressed their willingness to donate, but 50,000 yuan was not easy to come by.

Everyone sympathized with the old woman's plight but didn't know how to help.

"Excuse me." Shen Ye listened intently and pushed his way through the crowd.

He saw the old woman sitting on the ground, almost on the verge of fainting. Her eyes were rolling back, a symptom of emotional overload.

Coincidentally, the owner of the store next to the bank had also brought over surveillance footage showing the two thieves' faces. Shen Ye took a quick glance at their faces and had an idea.

He spoke up, "Don't worry, ma'am. I've found the thief!"

Everyone looked at him, including the old woman, who had stopped crying and was now looking at him with hope.

The police asked, "You found them?"

Another officer was puzzled, "We've checked a lot of surveillance footage, but the thieves went to different locations. We haven't found them yet."

Both officers were young and hot-blooded and were outraged by the old woman's misfortune. But for various reasons, they had been unable to find the thief despite their best efforts.

In the past, thieves worked in gangs and the police had a good idea of who to look for. Nowadays, thieves were rare and gangs are even rarer since most people used mobile payment systems. Only a few unscrupulous individuals targeted the elderly, and they were harder to catch if they were not in a gang.

Shen Ye: "I am a fortune teller. I looked at the old lady's face and her money is still secured. You can go to Qu Tang Street, which is five stops away and there's a small alley there. Inside the alley, there's a Qian Qian Internet Cafe where you can find someone."

The two police officers looked at each other in disbelief.

A fortune teller?

Such a young fortune teller? Could he be here to cause trouble?

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Shen Ye lifted his chin and said, "I'm so handsome, I don't look like a swindler at all."

The police officer replied, "... You are indeed handsome, but there are also handsome guys among swindlers!"
