ally, I've come here seeking your cooperation." Mei Ruiting hesitated slightly before stating the purpose of her visit straightforwardly."Cooperation" Ye Mengying was somewhat surprised, "May I ask in...Chapter 346: Steal Your Hands WuYou Chinese Web

Hearing Feng Zhi's words, the gaunt old man cast his gaze towards Xia Tian and Shu Jing. After staring at them for a few seconds, he finally fixed his eyes on Xia Tian.

"Young man, you must be the one who made Feng Zhi lose out" The gaunt old man approached Xia Tian slowly, his voice slightly hoarse.

Xia Tian glanced at the old man with a bit of annoyance: "Old man, don't bother me. I'm in a hurry to go room-service with Jing-ling wife!"

Hearing this, Shu Jing had an urge to strangle Xia Tian. Couldn't he just keep his mouth shut about such things

"Boy, do you want to die How dare you speak to Uncle Li like that!" Feng Zhi shouted angrily.

The gaunt old man named Uncle Li waved his hand, signaling Feng Zhi to be quiet. He looked at Xia Tian with a still hoarse but calm voice: "Young man, if you can switch Feng Zhi's wallet without being noticed, I assume you're also an expert in our line of work. Since we are colleagues, let’s resolve this according to our rules."

"Who says I'm your colleague" Xia Tian rolled his eyes. "I’m not one of those low-class pickpockets like you guys!"

Hearing this, Uncle Li's expression finally changed: "Young man, I've already given you a chance; please don't waste it."

"You're really annoying! Get lost before I beat you up. If not for others thinking that I bully old men, I would have hit you long ago!" Xia Tian showed signs of being impatient.

Uncle Li’s expression darkened even more: "Young man, your attitude is quite arrogant. But since you haven't heard my name before, I won’t blame you."

Mr. Li paused for a moment, then slowly extended his right hand. His hand looked quite emaciated, but his fingers were exceptionally long. Upon seeing this hand, Shu Jing could only think that it was like a ghost's claw!

"Everyone in the business knows I have another nickname, which is 'Thousand-Armed Buddha.'" Mr. Li spoke with his hoarse voice, and then his emaciated right hand quickly reached out before swiftly retracting.

"I've only heard of a Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, never a Thousand-Armed Buddha." Xia Tian sounded somewhat unconvinced.

"Since I'm a man, naturally it's the Thousand-Armed Buddha," Mr. Li said leisurely but with an air of pride, "Young man, even though you have big talk, your skills are rather lacking. Didn't you notice that something was missing just now"

Upon hearing this, those behind Mr. Li became visibly excited.

"Mr. Li actually took action!"

"Indeed, they say Mr. Li hasn't personally acted in many years!"

"Did you see Mr. Li take action I didn’t see anything."

"Of course not! If even you could spot Mr. Li taking action, would he still be the Mr. Li we know"

Hearing their discussion, Shu Jing couldn't help but feel worried and couldn't resist asking Xia Tian quietly, "Hey, did you really lose something just now"

"Yeah, that old man stole my phone," Xia Tian nodded with a grin.

"Ah" Shu Jing exclaimed, "I didn't even see him move. How did he steal your phone"

"He used two fingers to pinch it away," Xia Tian said, seemingly not bothered by the theft of his phone.

Shu Jing found this strange: "How do you know so much about it"

Xia Tian chuckled: "I saw it! That old man thinks he's clever, but his movements were painfully slow."

The two of them chatted freely as if no one else was around. Lao Shu, who had boasted to be like the Buddha with a thousand arms, now looked rather displeased. He grunted: "Young fellow, don't flatter yourself; your phone being stolen by me proves that you're not skilled enough in our trade. If you want to ruin your colleagues' business despite this shortcoming, then I have no choice but to kick you out of this profession!"

"Old bastard, are you stupid Didn't I say I'm not part of your trade anymore How can you still kick me out" Xia Tian said irritably.

Lao Shu snorted coldly: "Whether or not you admit it doesn’t matter; in my view, you're still one of us. As for kicking you out… that’s easy; all I have to do is disable your hands so that you can never return to this line of work!"

"Oh, if that's the case, does that mean if I'm not skilled enough, I can kick all of you out" Xia Tian looked at Lao Shu. This old man was determined to糾纏他，看來得先把這老傢夥解決了才能和舒靜去開房。

Lao Shu sneered: "If you have the ability to do so, there would be no problem, but unfortunately, your abilities are lacking."

"Idiot, don't think I really believe you could steal my phone," Xia Tian said disdainfully. "I let you take it on purpose."

“Kid, stop flattering yourself! With Lao Shu's skills, nothing can escape him. Whatever he wants to steal from you, he'll get— even your woman!” Feng Zhi added with a cold smile.

"You're too noisy, so I thought about stealing your ability to speak," Summer said with a hint of displeasure. As soon as he spoke, he moved like a ghost toward Feng Zhi and then vanished back to his original spot; from others' perspective, it seemed as if he hadn't moved at all.

Feng Zhi opened his mouth as though wanting to say something but quickly realized that no sound came out. His face was immediately filled with shock, and he hurriedly pulled Uncle Li before pointing repeatedly at his own mouth.

Uncle Li's expression finally changed; a pair of sharp beams suddenly shot out from his eyes as he stared at Summer: "What did you do to Feng Zhi"

"Old fool, didn't I just say that I wanted to take away his ability to speak," Summer replied with annoyance.

Uncle Li’s expression turned even more grim; looking at Summer intently, he said slowly: "It seems like I underestimated you."

"Old codger, now that you know how powerful I am, hurry up and leave! I'm very busy!" Summer waved irritably.

However, Uncle Li didn't seem to have any intention of leaving; the reason was simple—if he left now, his prestige on the streets would be completely lost.

Of course, the most important reason was that he still believed that Summer was just bluffing; at least in terms of stealing, he firmly believed himself to be stronger than Summer.

"Young man, I believe you have some tricks up your sleeve, but in Jianghai City, when it comes to speed and action, Uncle Li ranks second, with no one daring to claim first," Uncle Li’s tone was cold. "If you know what's good for you, tell me what you did to Feng Zhi. Otherwise, don't blame me if I get rough!"

"You really won’t leave" Summer felt annoyed; did this old man want him to take action He wasn’t particularly fond of bullying the elderly.

“That depends on whether you have the ability or not,” Uncle Li sneered.

"Alright, even though I don't like bullying old men, since you stole my phone first and wanted to bully me, it's only fair for me to bully you back," Xia Tian quickly said, "You stole my phone, so now I'm going to 'steal' your hand!"

"What did you say" Mr. Li found this amusing. "Are you planning on stealing my hand"

"That's right! I am indeed going to steal your hand!" Xia Tian nodded seriously, "Have you prepared yourself I'm about to start 'stealing' now!"

Mr. Li burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Come on then, show me how you're going to take my hand away! Hahaha..."

Mr. Li was laughing heartily; in over sixty years, he had never heard of anything as amusing as this — someone wanting to steal his hand It was already unbelievable for anyone to be able to steal his wallet or phone from him, let alone attempt something so preposterous as stealing a part of his body!

As Mr. Li continued laughing, however, the young man standing beside him suddenly paled dramatically. He looked at Mr. Li's hand as if he had just seen the most terrifying thing in the world, stuttering and trembling: "Mr. Li... You should, you should take a look..."

"Look at what" Mr. Li stopped laughing and frowned.

"Your, your hand…" The young man's face was ghostly pale as if he had seen the most incredible thing in his life.

"What about my hand" As Mr. Li questioned him, he subconsciously looked at his right hand. He suddenly felt as though a block had been lodged in his throat and could no longer speak. His face also instantly turned deathly pale, with signs of panic creeping into his eyes.

At this moment, the others around them also couldn't help but look at Mr. Li's right hand, their expressions turning slightly ashen. Mr. Li’s hand... was still there! But one of Mr. Li’s fingers… was gone!

The disappearance of a single finger wasn’t the most terrifying part; the truly horrifying thing was that Mr. Li had lost his finger without feeling anything — he didn't feel any pain, nor did he realize his finger had disappeared until someone pointed it out to him. This was too bizarre!

"Ah..." Everyone exclaimed in surprise again because they suddenly noticed that Uncle Li's finger was missing in a mysterious way once more. Just moments ago, it was only his little finger gone, but now his ring finger had also vanished mysteriously. Despite so many people staring at Uncle Li’s hand, no one actually saw how the fingers disappeared.

Uncle Li's body started to tremble because an immense fear had不知不覺地籠罩了他的全身。他很想把手收回來，卻發現不知何時他的手似乎已經不受自己的控製，根本無法收回。

The thing that scared him even more was that he did not feel any pain from his hand. With two fingers gone, he didn't feel a single bit of pain!

"W-What have you done to me" Uncle Li looked at Xia Tian, his voice trembling and his expression extremely frightened.

"I don’t seem to have done anything!" Xia Tian said with a smile.

"A-Again another finger..." Someone exclaimed in horror.

Uncle Li's face turned even paler. That was right, this time his middle finger was gone too.

"Is there really a ghost" someone asked fearfully.

"I-I don’t know, it feels kind of eerie..." another person shivered. Actually, this place wasn't at all eerie; it was a very spacious roadside area—could it be considered eerie

"They're all gone, everything's gone..." someone shouted.

"There’s a ghost! Run for your lives..." Someone finally couldn't hold back and screamed, then turned around and ran away.ly weak. The doctors here are still examining him but haven't come back yet with a diagnosis. His condition is really worrying me... his face looks so bad..." Qian Ting explained Qian Duo's situation...
