Yu Feng was a street thief with a reputation as 'the thief who has never gotten caught'. Until that one day... Her capture threatened her to work for him. Her task? To carry messages and deliver them to each receiver—she became a runner. The seventh prince, Prince Yi was fighting against time as they are trying to find evidence of the enemy trying to assassinate the Emperor. However, recently most of his messenger never reached their destination and this has caused them a huge loss. This was why he needed someone who knew the Capital City's streets and shortcuts to help him. When Prince Yi found out his runner's identity, he was delighted! But once Yu Feng found out the identity of the man she was working for, she tried to escape. “Yu Feng, you dare to run away from me. This Prince had caught you once. Believe me when I say that I will catch you again.” --- This story is written to participate in WPC 137: Catch Me If You Can --- Cover illustration: kirinlukis ---

Group of Thieves

Jing City…

The sun was up high in the sky, but unlike in the Capital City, the temperature in Jing City was colder. On the street, the people were wearing thick clothes and fur coats. It was a different scene as compared to Capital City.

The market in Jing City was located near the east side. At this time, the market in Jing City was bustling with people coming to trade their goods. Just outside the gate, dozen of caravans with colorful flags lined up outside the market as the merchants were waiting for their turn to enter the market.

Just like in Capital City, some officials were guarding the market gate. They stood at the sides of the entrance with a workbook in one hand and a brush in another. After they have checked the documents and write down the details of the goods, the official would collect a sum of money, depending on the goods that the merchant had wanted to bring in. It was only then that the merchant will be given a permit.
