What you see is not necessarily true!
The man she had grabbed was full of impatience and anger.
“Let go! You deaf-mute! Trying to extort money from me? No way!”
“Police Comrade, I just walked past her, and she suddenly grabbed me and wouldn't let me go, constantly pointing at my wallet. She’s probably trying to stage an accident for money!”
Nearby, two Police Comrades were understanding the situation.
Looking at the Girl lying on the ground, constantly making sounds, a helpless expression flashed across their faces.
They had already checked the surveillance footage.
The facts were indeed as the man said; he hadn't even touched the Girl, yet she inexplicably latched onto him.
For such an act of extortion in broad daylight, the Police Comrades naturally wouldn't indulge her.
But the problem was, the Girl was deaf and mute.
No matter what they said, she couldn't understand, nor could she read written words.
If they forcibly dragged her away, they were afraid of being accused of disrespecting a disabled person.
In their helplessness, they had no choice but to call for a sign language interpreter to help communicate.
The surrounding crowd cast disdainful glances at the Girl’s behavior.
All sorts of unpleasant words emerged endlessly.
“Even deaf-mutes are coming to extort money now? The world is truly going downhill.”
“Isn’t that the truth? The key is she can't even understand, so there's nothing you can do about her.”
“If you ask me, they should just drag her away and take her to the police station, so she learns her lesson and doesn't harm others next time.”
Just then.
A voice suddenly came from the outer perimeter of the crowd.
“Excuse me, I’m a sign language interpreter. Please let me through, thank you!”
Hearing this, everyone consciously made way.
A refined man, wearing glasses and a suit, walked to the center of the crowd.
Smiling, he looked at the Police Comrade and said, “Police Comrade, I am a sign language interpreter. How may I assist you?”
The Police Comrade immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, “This deaf-mute Girl suddenly grabbed this gentleman’s leg on the street, seemingly trying to extort money.”
“However, our surveillance investigation shows that the man did not touch her, so please explain it clearly to her.”
“Since she is deaf and mute, we don't want to dwell on it too much, but we also want her to be more self-aware.”
The interpreter smiled and nodded: “Understood!”
He then looked at the Girl on the ground and made a series of sign language gestures.
“Hello, I am a sign language interpreter. Is there anything I can help you with?”
When the Girl saw someone who could communicate with her, a joyful expression appeared on her face.
She quickly released the man’s leg and replied in sign language.
Everyone present watched the two of them signing, completely unable to understand what they were saying.
After several minutes had passed.
The interpreter turned and smiled at the Police Comrade: “Police Comrade, I have explained it clearly to her. She has realized her mistake and it won't happen again.”
The Police Comrade also smiled upon hearing this.
“Thank you for your trouble!”
“Alright, everyone disperse. Don't block traffic here.”
At these words, the crowd consciously dispersed.
The man whose leg had been grabbed sighed heavily in relief, as if a great burden had been lifted, and quickly fled the scene, hurrying to leave.
This sudden turn of events left the Girl a bit confused.
Although she couldn't understand what others were saying, it was clear that the gathering was breaking up.
Watching the man run off in a hurry, the Girl's expression changed dramatically.
She started making sounds again, chasing after the man.
Seeing this, the man was scared out of his wits and took off running.
But before he could pick up speed.
With a thud, he tripped over something and fell flat on his face.
“Ouch, what the heck!! Who the hell did that?”
The man lay on the ground, groaning in pain, and immediately saw Lin Yuan standing nearby, retracting his right leg.
At this point, it wasn't just him.
Everyone was stunned.
The onlookers who were about to leave also gathered around again out of curiosity.
The Police Comrade was no exception and quickly ran over.
The Photographer behind him had a face full of questions: “Brother, what are you doing?”
Lin Yuan smiled faintly: “Nothing much, just acting righteously.”
Soon, the Police Comrade arrived next to them.
The man on the ground roared angrily: “Police Comrade, this person has a problem, he tripped me.”
“Ouch… my leg… I’m going to sue him!! I want compensation!”
The Police Comrade looked at Lin Yuan sternly: “Xiao Hu, why did you trip him?”
Lin Yuan shrugged: “Because… he’s a Small Thief!”
As soon as these words were uttered.
The entire scene erupted in an uproar.
The man on the ground and the interpreter both changed their expressions simultaneously.
They quickly explained: “You’re talking nonsense! You tripped me, and now you’re calling me a Small Thief? Police Comrade, you must uphold justice for me!”
The Police Comrade frowned, a hint of doubt appearing on his face, and stared intently at Lin Yuan: “Why do you say he is a Small Thief? Do you have evidence?”
Lin Yuan smiled faintly, raised his right hand, and pointed at the interpreter: “Not only do I say he is a Small Thief, but I also want to accuse that guy of extortion.”
His words were truly shocking, as if he wouldn't rest until he had stirred up a storm.
Hearing this, all the spectators gasped.
The interpreter’s face instantly turned pale, and he immediately retorted: “Crazy! Are you insane? Did I provoke you?”
In just a few short minutes, the scene took a dramatic turn.
The netizens in the live stream were also stunned.

— — “What the heck? What’s going on? What is Lin Yuan doing? Is he helping the person who extorted money? Am I seeing things, is he crazy?”
— — “I don’t understand. The Police Comrades checked the surveillance and confirmed he didn’t hit her. Isn’t that obvious? Why is he calling him a Small Thief now?”
— — “Is there anyone in the live stream who understands sign language? Please tell us what happened. I feel like something is a bit strange.”
— — “I have a feeling there’s a good show coming. That Girl’s clothes and appearance don’t look like someone who would extort money, and besides, it would be hard for her to succeed in extorting money like that, right?”
At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene was a bit tense.
The Police Comrade standing in the middle felt a bit of a headache; he didn't know what was happening for a moment.
Facing the interpreter’s angry curses, Lin Yuan’s expression was calm, and he spoke with a slightly mocking tone: “To be a person like you, there’s truly no one else.”
“You’re dressed so refined, but you have the heart of a beast.”
“You learned sign language to help deaf and mute people, not to extort them. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“I saw everything you said to her just now. You don't think you’re the only one in the world who knows sign language, do you?”
As soon as these words were uttered.
The interpreter’s pupils suddenly constricted, his expression changed dramatically, and he unconsciously took a step back.
He feigned composure and retorted: “You’re slandering me! What did I say? I was helping the Police Comrade, you’re talking nonsense!”
“Heh~~”
Lin Yuan sneered: “You truly won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin.”
After speaking, he walked towards the Girl and communicated with her in sign language.
“Girl, don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you. Are you sure this person is the Small Thief who stole your wallet?”
When the Girl saw that Lin Yuan knew sign language, it was as if she had grasped a lifeline.
Although she didn't know what the interpreter had said just now.
It was clear that he hadn't helped her.
Now, all her hopes rested on Lin Yuan, and she quickly replied in sign language.
“Yes, he was at our bathhouse that day, and I served him. Later, my wallet went missing, and the surveillance showed he stole it. It has my ID card and my mother’s mementos in it. I must get it back.”
