Li Ye watched a claw reach in to snatch his Big Brother. His first instinct was to block it, but something suddenly occurred to him. He forcibly halted his reflex and handed the Big Brother over instead.
The other party was a young man in his early twenties, at just the age when he loved Hong Kong and Taiwanese videotapes. He had long envied the Big Brothers held by Hongxing bosses. Now that a heavy, genuine one had suddenly landed in his hand, he was overjoyed.
But amid that delight, he kept feeling that something was off.
Wasn't this a little too easy? Were rich people all this timid? Why did it feel like he had handed it to me himself?
That definitely wasn't right.
The young man had been happy for less than a second. Before he had even pulled the Big Brother out of the car, Li Ye had seized his forearm.
"Xiao Ruo, take pictures!"
As Li Ye gripped the man's wrist, he turned and called to his sister.
Fu Yiruo reacted incredibly fast as well. She had just pulled her camera from her bag, and immediately seized the chance to fire off a rapid series of clicks. A photography enthusiast's professional instincts were no joke; she captured the hand holding the Big Brother from several angles, along with the faces of many people nearby.
His younger sister Li Juan looked utterly bewildered, unable to understand why her second sister had reacted so quickly.
This year, in order to soothe her cousin Zhao Meiwen's feelings, she often went over to chat with her and had heard Zhao Meiwen talk about some of the evidence chains passed down in her family for handling cases.
Photographs of the other party holding the phone were enough evidence to establish robbery.
