From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Chapter 436: You’re Happy, I’m Happy, Everyone’s Happy

Nina immediately had Eight pull up the surveillance footage.

They finally found the relevant video from seven minutes ago.

Inside Chloe’s mind, the system displayed the robber’s face from every conceivable angle, leaving no blind spots.

"Master, he’s heading toward West Street."

West Street was near the entrance and had the most foot traffic.

Apparently, he wasn’t planning to leave immediately after the robbery. Instead, he was looking for a second target.

But under the system’s real-time surveillance, the man’s every move was laid bare.

Chloe moved quickly, following the surveillance feed from the system, and finally reached West Street.

West Street was lined with cafes and pubs, the noisy cries of vendors filling the air.

Chloe stopped in front of an old, quiet courtyard house, her eyes fixed on a specific spot.

The livestream camera panned to the scene, and the comments section instantly blew up.

Gabriel and Hailey, panting, finally caught up. But before they could say a word, they saw Chloe walk right in without a backward glance.

The two exchanged a look and resignedly followed her.

The moment they stepped into the large courtyard, however, they saw Chloe kick a man, sending him crashing to the ground, howling in pain.

A gasp went through the crowd.

Everyone looked at the man screaming on the ground, then at the furious-looking young woman, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar.

One man in the crowd was eating a sausage, and the sudden commotion startled him so much that he dropped it on the ground.

Seeing the cameraman behind her, the man couldn’t help but smack his lips. "Holy crap, they’re not filming a movie, are they?"

But the next moment, the screams of the man on the ground pulled everyone back to reality.

The man had a messy mop of hair like dead branches. His eyes were murky, the whites yellowed, and his mouth jutted out in a way that made him look particularly sleazy.

In truth, Chloe hadn’t used much force. The man, caught off guard, had mostly fallen because he’d tried to dodge in a panic and failed.

But playing the victim while lying on the ground was his usual move.

Hearing the disapproving murmurs from the crowd, he decided to play along, rolling on the ground in agony.

"Oh my god, my knee! My tailbone...!"

"Doesn’t hurt at all, does it?"

In the next second, Chloe exposed his act.

She looked down at him, her ink-black eyes completely devoid of emotion.

Before the man could react, he saw Chloe crouch down.

RRRIP! Chloe roughly yanked open the zipper on the man’s jacket.

A worn-out brown bag fell out.

Then, a scornful smile touched Chloe’s lips.

Suddenly, her eyes darted to the man’s pockets.

Before the man could react and cover his pockets, her hands were already inside them.

She pulled out a rose-colored wallet and a black wallet with a cartoon character on it.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, not yet connecting the dots.

Just then, however, a woman suddenly cried out, pointing at the rose-colored wallet on the ground.

"That’s my wallet!"

"My wallet was missing!"

Her words stunned the crowd.

A commotion erupted among the bystanders.

By now, the staff had also rushed over.

The head of the camera crew quickly explained, "Excuse me, everyone. We’re the film crew for the variety show *Country Life*. This was an unexpected incident, and our crew has recorded the entire thing. The viewers in the livestream can testify to that."

He explained this to assure everyone that this wasn’t a publicity stunt or a cheap trick to grab attention.

The bystanders were still in shock and didn’t immediately process the staff member’s words.

But the woman’s earlier cry had already led them to guess what was going on.

"People like him should be sent to the police station!"

"Yeah! He looks pretty young to be doing this kind of thing!"

"I already called the police."

And so, the crowd abandoned their tour of the ancient town, and a large group escorted the criminal to the police station.

Chloe opened the bag, retrieved their money, and prepared to head back.

"Sis, you’re just leaving like that?"

Gabriel hadn’t expected to get the money back so quickly.

So he was taken aback when he saw his little sister grab the bag and get ready to leave.
