Chapter 459: Buying a House, Setting up Home
After a while, the man buckled his pants, bent down to pick up the bag from the ground, and walked away as if it was his own.
Jian Jun, with his keen eyes, had noticed and quickly grabbed the man’s arm, saying, "Sir, that bag is ours."
It was the bag that Tong Yao had just bought them new clothes in, which still contained two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes.
At this time, Liu Sanwa also noticed that the man was carrying their bag and promptly chimed in, "That’s right, it’s ours."
"Yours?" The man curled his lips into a smirk, sizing both of them up and down and scornfully retorting, "With your appearance, do you expect me to believe that you could buy all of these things? You must have stolen them!"
The man was big and burly, nearly 6 foot 2, and heavier than Jian Jun and Liu Sanwa combined. Those two have spent over a year on the streets which has made them more perceptive. They saw that the man didn’t seem like a good person and clearly wanted to claim their belongings for himself.
Even though they were intimidated by the man’s presence, these were things that Tong Yao had bought for them, and they refused to let go.
"These are not stolen; they are work clothes that our boss bought for us." Jian Jun grew indignant, his face flushing and veins bulging in his neck. He knew these items were not stolen.
"What work clothes?" the man mocked. "If you’re going to lie, at least try to be believable. What kind of a fool of a boss would spend so much money buying clothes for you? If you two are smart, you’ll let go right now. I’ll pretend not to know anything, but if you resist, don’t blame me for calling the police to arrest you two thieves."
Having made up his mind that Jian Jun and Liu Sanwa could not afford these items and must have stolen them, the man decided to profit from the situation himself.
