A man and a woman, despite their good legs, were no match for Zhou Yu.
Soon, they were cornered.
Zhou Yu approached them step by step, saying, "Your legs are faster than my dog's."
It was clear that these two had been specially trained.
It was a shame to use such speed for thievery.
If they delivered food, they would make a fortune!
When the man and woman heard Zhou Yu's words, their faces grew even more grim.
They hadn't expected the man in the car to be so troublesome.
They had already done their best to escape.
Yet, they were still caught!
Seeing that a wall blocked their path ahead,
Lingering any longer with Zhou Yu would surely lead to their capture.
The two exchanged a glance.
Then, with perfect synchronicity, they attacked Zhou Yu!
Bang—
"Ah!"
A moment later.
The man and woman screamed as they were thrown against the wall.
The force was so great that the brick wall trembled, nearly collapsing.
And this was with Zhou Yu holding back!
The man and woman felt their internal organs shake violently, as if they would die then and there.
No one dared to make another move.
The place was deserted, and remote.
Even if they shouted their lungs out, no one would come to their rescue!
If Zhou Yu decided to kill them, they would surely perish this time.
"Stop! Stop! We know we were wrong!"
"Don't hit us anymore!"
They both pleaded.
Zhou Yu watched them with amusement and questioned, "Speak, why were you trying to break into my car?"
The two glanced at each other, their lips sealed tightly, neither daring to speak first.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu took another step forward.
This one step, however, sent them into a cold sweat.
The woman couldn't hold back any longer.
With a thud, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yu, saying,
"We were forced by circumstances!"
Forced by circumstances?
Zhou Yu didn't believe such nonsense.
They had the strength and speed.
Even if they couldn't find a leisurely job, just moving bricks or delivering food would earn them a decent amount each month.
Why would they resort to breaking into cars and petty theft?
Seeing the disbelief on Zhou Yu's face, the man and woman grew anxious.
The man immediately said, "Esteemed sir, it's the truth, we're not making excuses!"
"We used to be villagers living in this area, working from sunrise to sunset."
"But then they built an airport and a commercial district, and they forcibly demolished our fields and houses."
"We had no choice but to come to the city to work, who knew that..."
The man's voice grew increasingly mournful, his eyes red.
The woman fared no better.
Even though it had happened years ago, recalling it still filled them with anger!
"What happened next?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.
The man lowered his head and replied, "We don't have much education, so we couldn't do anything else but move bricks on construction sites."
"Who knew, on the second day I was there, my wife was taken a fancy to by the foreman."
"He..."
The man struggled to utter the rest of the words.
But everyone present understood that what followed was likely not pleasant.
Seeing the man unable to speak, the woman quickly added.
"Then his wife, my sister-in-law, because she refused him, was thrown from a broken bridge by that foreman."
"By the time we found her, she was barely breathing. It was too late to save her."
"My brother went to the foreman to demand an explanation, but he had his ribs broken and was thrown out, threatening that if any construction site dared to hire us, he would cause trouble."
"From then on, my brother and I built a makeshift shelter on the edge of the airport and have not dared to work anywhere else."
Their story, though brief, was a chronicle of their suffering over the past few years!
The man had not forgotten about revenge.
But how could he and his sister fight against the foreman?
Moreover, after years of investigation, they dared not even show their faces, let alone seek revenge!
Because behind that foreman was a construction company in Yunhai City, backed by the Jin family!
They feared that instead of getting revenge, they might lose their lives.
Unable to find work.
They had no choice but to resort to petty theft in places like this to survive.
Initially, they were timid and only dared to steal wallets from airport passengers.
Later, they decided.
Stealing was not very profitable, and sometimes they accidentally stole from poor people, which troubled their conscience.
So, they set their sights on the luxury cars outside the airport.
Yunhai City might be small, but many wealthy people passed through.
This was an airport, so the chances of encountering wealthy individuals were high.
Those luxury cars parked at the entrance were for picking up these wealthy people.
"And then you planned to rob the rich to help the poor?" Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.
The woman nodded a little embarrassedly.
They would smash the luxury cars, take what was inside, and then distribute it to the homeless people near the airport for them to share.
It was indeed a form of robbing the rich to help the poor.
"Esteemed sir, we truly did not intend to."
The woman knelt and kowtowed to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu had initially thought of them as audacious little thieves.
But after hearing their plight, he couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Of course, he wouldn't show any emotion in front of them.
He simply asked, "Have you not been caught all these years you've been breaking into cars?"
The man and woman both gave a wry smile.
They couldn't fly or walk on walls; how could they escape every time?
The worst incident was being detained at the police station for a month.
But they had no choice; without it, they wouldn't eat.
They also couldn't bring themselves to steal from others' wallets, fearing it would harm good people and their karma!
"We just felt that those who could afford luxury cars probably wouldn't miss this money, so..."
The woman couldn't help but defend herself.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu wasn't listening and waved his hand to interrupt her.
"Alright, your misfortunes are not an excuse for committing crimes."
"Each matter is separate. You broke into my car today, and you must accept punishment."
As Zhou Yu finished speaking, the expressions of the woman and man darkened.
They saw that Zhou Yu, sitting in the luxury car, was someone capable.
And he had patiently listened to their story.
They had hoped he would be someone who could help them seek justice.
But they hadn't expected Zhou Yu to be the same as those cold-hearted wealthy people!
He had no intention of helping them.
And he expected them to be punished.
Given the circumstances, they had nothing more to complain about.
The man nodded to Zhou Yu and said, "Breaking into the car and stealing is a fact, and we are willing to accept punishment."
Zhou Yu smiled and asked knowingly, "Do you feel resentful about this?"
To be honest, the two had felt that way at first.
