Chapter 48 – Financial Crisis 8: Mysterious Teenager (1/2)
The decorations market.
It was home to a large number of decorating companies, as well as the city’s largest furniture city and electronics city.
Compared with the chaos in the supermarket, the furniture city was relatively stable. After all, the sofas, beds and cabinets were so large that they were difficult to move. There was no need to grab kitchen utensils such as pots and bowls or daily necessities such as stools and mops unless they were missing their brains.
However, Yu Hanjiang really saw two people with problems in their brains.
They didn’t go to the supermarket to grab food and actually ran to the electronic city to grab a 50-inch LCD TV!
It was almost a financial doomsday and eating was a problem. What was the point of grabbing a TV? What would they do in case of a power outage?
The two young men wore a black vest, black shorts and had black stocks on their heads with two holes, only revealing their eyes…
Yu Hanjiang felt serious doubts. Did these two people want to rob a bank but ran to the wrong place?
However, these two strange guys actually picked up a TV and turned around to run.
The female manager of the electronic city was shocked by this sudden change. She clearly didn’t understand the behaviour of the two people and was stunned for a few moments before reacting. “Security! Security?! Someone is stealing a TV!”
The security guards at the door responded and chased the men.
The LCD TV was very heavy and the two young men only ran a few steps before the security guards caught up. They were pressed down to the ground and the security guards stared at them in a baffled manner before calling the police.
The police soon arrived.
The police officer leading the team had a very ugly expression as he criticized the two people. “This is the time when you should be using your strength to buy some instant noddles. Actually trying to steal a TV? Do you like watching TV so much?”
The black stockings on their heads were ripped off by the police…
They were decent-looking and didn’t seem like professional robbers.
The two men crouched in a corner with their heads in their arms as they received the criticism of the police. Their ears were red and one of them spoke weakly, “We were impulsive, cough…” The other person was smiling. “Police officer, we deliberately tried to steal. According to local laws, how many days will we be locked up?”
The police officer replied, “Blatant robbery and endangering social security, it is more than seven days of detention.”
Rather than showing expressions of frustration, the two men brightened up and seemed happy to be locked up.
The police officer patted their heads. “Then would you like to go to the police station?”
The two men immediately hugged their heads and cried out, ”No, no, we won’t dare anymore…”
The police took out handcuffs, took them to the car and returned to the sales manager. The female manager spoke in a stunned manner, “Who are these people? Run here to steal a TV and can only run for two steps before getting caught? Were they here for a laugh?”
Yu Hanjiang’s cold eyes were watching this farce.
The two men were apparently challengers and it was estimated that their materials were stolen. Feeling helpless, they decided to make an obvious stealing attempt and be locked up for the seven days.
After being detained, there was food and a place to stay. Couldn’t they smoothly pass the instance?
Yu Hanjiang really didn’t understand the minds of these two people? Were they smart or were they stupid?
Did they think they could safely spend seven days in the detention centre?
In that case, all the challengers would join forces to smash a bank and sit in a cell for seven days to clear the instance. Would the Spades room be so easily cleared?
The wave of strikes would affect all walks of life and the police definitely wouldn’t be spared.
Once the detention centre was paralyzed and there was no one to give food and water to the prisoners, these so-called smart guys would probably stare at the iron bars with two lines of tears.
Yu Hanjiang turned and entered the decoration market.
Yesterday, there had been many decorating companies and furniture stores in business who had fought with the customers. Today, they were closed. The iron doors were locked and no one could be seen on the streets.
Obviously, most people knew that the prices had doubled and they rushed to the vegetable market, supermarkets and other places to buy daily necessities. The bosses at the decoration market all stopped business. After all, feeding themselves and their families was the most important thing.
In order to avoid being found, Yu Hanjiang used the invisibility cloak.
He came to the underground warehouse using the cloak. All the cars for unloading and delivery were parked in the parking spaces because the drivers hadn’t gone to work. Fortunately, the locks he changed weren’t broken. It seemed the decorations market hadn’t attracted the attention of thieves.
Yu Hanjiang was going to the warehouse to get some supplies when he suddenly heard very light footsteps.
He was now invisible and didn’t have to worry about being seen. Therefore, he simply followed the footsteps.
In the underground garage, a person wearing dirty clothes was struggling to push a tricycle. His tricycle held several black garbage bags covered with tomato juice, egg liquid and other stains. These things had started to rot and gave off an unpleasant smell.
He looked around and found no one present, so he quickly opened a garbage bag and pulled out milk, chocolate and biscuits from the garbage bag underneath.
