003 Exquisite Beauty

However, Zhang Wei miscalculated this time. Without hesitation, the female thief grabbed the phone thrown on the dashboard of the car, pressed it, but it didn't light up. Pressing again, still no response. It seemed that the phone had indeed been damaged when it was dropped earlier.

The female thief, infuriated, slammed the phone on the dashboard once more. She stretched out her hand, "Where's your phone? Let me use it!"

"Why?" Zhang Wei inquired.

"To call the police!" The words burst out from between the thief's teeth.

"Oh, I didn't bring it. The phone is too heavy," Zhang Wei replied casually.

The thief was left speechless, nearly out of breath with frustration.

"Do you really want to call the police? Do you want to turn yourself in?" Zhang Wei continued calmly.

The thief was on the verge of collapse.

"Well, there seems to be a public phone booth across the street..." Zhang Wei suggested gently, with a well-intentioned expression on his face.

"Ah—!" Unable to bear it any longer, the female thief suddenly let out a piercing scream, hysterical and high-pitched, startling Zhang Wei.

"Hey! What's gotten into you?" Zhang Wei quickly glanced out the car window. Fortunately, it was the fast lane, with cars passing by and considerable noise, seemingly masking the high-pitched scream from the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

The thief, panting heavily after her scream, leaned on the steering wheel, her face hidden behind sunglasses, seemingly trying to calm herself down. After a while, her heaving chest gradually subsided.

The thief's behavior was unusual, and Zhang Wei decided not to provoke her further. The two of them sat quietly in the car, and for a moment, the interior was unusually quiet.

After a while, the thief let out a long sigh, turned her face slightly, and Zhang Wei, tilting his head, looked at her. He could feel the gaze behind the sunglasses, somewhat helpless.

"Sir, let me explain one last time. I'm not the sky-soaring thief you imagine. What you saw me climbing out from the balcony was my own business, different from what you think." The thief tried to keep her tone calm, and undeniably, her voice was truly sweet.

"Oh, really?" Zhang Wei remained noncommittal. In this world, no thief would admit to being one.

"Do you believe me?" The thief asked.

"Can I trust you?" Zhang Wei countered without answering.

"Fine! I'll make you believe!" As her voice fell, the thief took off her baseball cap. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and just as Zhang Wei was slightly stunned by her gesture, she also removed her sunglasses.

Zhang Wei suddenly felt dazzled, as a charming face greeted his eyes.

Her delicately arched eyebrows, autumn-like eyes, and the dense, slightly upturned eyelashes set off her large, watery eyes extremely enchanting. With every flicker, they were incredibly lively. Her straight nose was as delicate as carved jade, and her moist, soft lips emitted a faint luster, giving people an impulse to kiss. This naturally beautiful face, without any makeup, was indeed exquisite and beautiful!

A beauty, an absolute beauty! A woman of extraordinary grace! And she was still very young, probably in her early twenties?

This contrast was quite astonishing, and Zhang Wei's mind was somewhat dazed. He had never imagined that the face behind the sunglasses would be so beautiful, dazzlingly beautiful, and breathtaking.

The thief, or rather, the beauty, smirked inwardly. She had encountered many men whose eyes went wide upon seeing her, and this annoying, creepy guy was no exception. She couldn't help but feel disdainful.

"Sir, now do you believe I'm not some sky-soaring thief?" The stunning face of the beauty was displayed in front of Zhang Wei, her voice even more like celestial music, soft and charming, capable of melting into one's heart.

Zhang Wei collected his thoughts and subconsciously said, "Oh, indeed, you don't look like a thief at all." Zhang Wei couldn't help but wonder, this face, so beautiful and radiant, had nothing to do with being a thief.

A thief? The beauty frowned slightly. She would rather this annoying guy consider her a sky-soaring thief than a lowly thief! At the same time, the beauty was somewhat surprised. Although this guy seemed a bit stunned by her eyes, he didn't seem excited at all? This surprised her.

The beauty couldn't help but size him up, "Hey, what did you say? What doesn't look like a thief? Do you have to speak like that? Take a good look, don't you recognize me?" The beauty's tone was slightly dissatisfied, but her eyes were so charming that they could kill.

Zhang Wei was slightly stunned by the beauty's words. They seemed somewhat inexplicable. Did he know her? Zhang Wei looked at her seriously and said, "Have we met before? Why don't I remember?"

The beauty was speechless! She exclaimed, "You don't know me? Are you kidding?" The beauty looked at him as if he were a strange creature, her eyes slightly insolent. To her, meeting someone who didn't recognize her was like a fairy tale.

The beauty's impudent and strange gaze made Zhang Wei slightly uncomfortable. He felt like the beauty considered him a bit outdated.

"Hey, if I say I don't know you, then I don't. Why are you trying to get close to me? You look good, but you're just a pretty thief! Do you think highly of yourself?" Zhang Wei retorted, his mouth firm, but he couldn't help but wonder, where in the world could one find such a stunningly beautiful thief?

Zhang Wei's tone was not polite, and the beauty was stunned. Her beautiful eyes stared at him, seemingly trying to see through any falsehood or pretense in his expression, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see any insincerity in the man before her. The beauty was once again amazed; this man seemed genuinely not to recognize her.

The beauty suddenly smiled, revealing neat and white teeth, as dazzling as a hundred flowers in bloom, warming the entire car. With this smile, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a little dazed; the beauty's exquisite appearance was truly irresistible, even a glance felt like a crime.

"What... what are you laughing at?" Zhang Wei asked, tilting his head and looking at her, not understanding why she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hehe, nothing much, I just find you quite interesting..." The beauty smiled at him mischievously, feeling secretly pleased. Encountering someone who didn't recognize her was truly rare. Although the man in front of her was a bit shabby in appearance, his rarity made him precious.

Zhang Wei was taken aback by her words. Interesting? Had he become interesting in the eyes of this beauty?

"If you don't know me, that's fine. By the way, where were you going earlier? Let me take you!" The beauty's smile was radiant, suddenly becoming enthusiastic.

"Pudong Century Garden," Zhang Wei replied subconsciously, surprised by the beauty's change in attitude.

"Alright!" The beauty, in high spirits, started the Porsche.

As the car merged onto the fast lane,

 the beauty asked again, "Hey, you really don't know me?"

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes, giving her an impatient look that clearly said, "Of course not!"

It was dusk, and the traffic on the road was constant. The beauty's driving skills were extraordinary, maneuvering the steering wheel extremely smoothly. The Porsche shuttled agilely through the traffic, constantly overtaking other vehicles.

Soon, the Porsche turned onto the elevated bridge that traversed the entire Zhonghai city. Indeed, driving this Porsche 911 GT2TM belonged to someone with a bold personality. On this one-way high-speed expressway of the elevated bridge, the beauty seemed to be unrestrained, stepping on the gas, and the scenery outside the car flew by rapidly, reaching 120 miles per hour in an instant! The Porsche raced along the elevated bridge at an incredibly fast speed, with the speedometer continuing to climb.
