After the slave girl checked out the place with Zhang Heng, she finally experienced how chaotic it was. While walking on the street, someone snatched the bag of money that she held tightly and ran away.
Immediately, the thief ran into the crowd. When the slave girl shouted at him, no onlooker responded to her cries for help. It was as if they were deliberately ignoring the crime that happened right before their very eyes. Everyone's face seemed plastered by layers of numbness and indifference.
In the end, the slave girl had to stop shouting and could only stand furiously by the roadside. She then asked Zhang Heng, who witnessed the crime happening right beside her. "Why didn't you stop him?
"There's not much money in the bag, is there?" Zhang heng asked in reply.
