Chapter 1543: 1543 robbery
Delayed by them, Tan Rou had wasted a lot of time, which meant she had to endure even more sun exposure outside.
Next time she went out, she would have Samiyi arrange for a car. That way, she wouldn’t run into trouble. After all, the King already knew about Agira being with Kas, what else was there to hide?
Just when Tan Rou was about to take a shortcut to Kas’s place, she suddenly sensed someone following her, but she didn’t stop, continuing on her path.
This alley was rather secluded, but the buildings on both sides were tall and the alley was narrow, so no sunlight got in.
However, such an alley easily gave rise to unexpected events, like now, when two men with covered faces appeared in front of Tan Rou, and soon another three emerged from behind her.
Tan Rou said calmly, “Why are you blocking my way?”
Hoodlum number one said with a laugh, “Recently, the brothers have been a bit short on cash and wanted to ask you for a loan.”
Tan Rou sneered, “Are you planning to repay the loan?”
All the hoodlums laughed out loud, “Hahaha, we’ll pay you back when we have money, but we’re never going to have any.”
“I don’t have any money either,” said Tan Rou. “So I can’t lend it to you.”
“Stop talking nonsense. We just heard those young ladies say that you’re with the princess; how can someone from the princess’s side not have money?” hoodlum number two said.
Hoodlum number three shouted, “We just saw you take out a pen to write, that pen looks expensive, and you also have a watch with diamonds on your wrist, so you must be rich.”
The pen was a gift from Zhuang Liu, a high-tech pen newly produced by their company that could not only write but also record audio, serve as a locator, and in an emergency, it could turn into a sturdy mini knife.
“How is that any of your business?” Tan Rou said, “Besides, that pen isn’t worth much, I picked it up from the ground because I thought it looked nice to write with. As for the watch, I rented it, and the lease ends tomorrow.”
Hoodlum number two said, “It doesn’t matter; we’ll just snatch the watch, it can definitely be sold for a good price.”
Of course, it could be sold for a good price, the watch didn’t look that high-end, but in fact, it was worth an eight-figure sum. Tan Rou rarely wore it out and usually wore a modified watch. She didn’t expect that wearing this watch today would get her into trouble.
“I’m really sorry, but I truly can’t give you this watch,” Tan Rou said, hands in pockets, putting on a relaxed demeanor, “If you want one, earn the money and buy it yourself. I see you’re all able-bodied, so as long as you work hard, you’ll eventually be able to buy your own watch.”
Hoodlum number one laughed loudly, “Girl, you’re too naive; why work when robbery is faster? Let me tell you the truth, we brothers have stolen quite a few things around here. You’re unlucky to have bumped into us today.”
Tan Rou had seen robberies before; when she was in high school, she would get cornered every now and then, but it had been so long since she had encountered so many robbers at once that she wasn’t used to it.
“Oh,” Tan Rou said as she took off her watch, “Here, I’m giving this to you. Send someone over to take it.”
The men didn’t move as they had just witnessed Tan Rou take action, so they were somewhat apprehensive.
“You go,” hoodlum number one nudged number two’s shoulder.
Number two pushed number three, “You go take it!”
Number three called out to number four across the way, “You go take it.”
Number four didn’t want to either, “If you want to go, then go, I’m not going.”
Tan Rou said with a smile, “The item is right here, if you don’t come and take it, I’ll have to leave, I’m in a hurry.”
The hoodlums hesitated for a moment, then decided to go over together.
Tan Rou thought it was good that they were coming over together; it saved her the trouble of dealing with them one by one.
As the hoodlums approached, Tan Rou quickly snatched the watch back, and with a backhanded punch, she hit the one closest to her so hard that he doubled over clutching his stomach, and with a spin, she kicked another one in the chest, sending him reeling as if he was about to vomit blood.
Then, grabbing the clothing of the other two hoodlums with one hand each, she banged their heads together, knocking them out cold.
Only one was left…
