Partners‽ With one glance, Ye Shuang knew these people were not there to help Yao Zhixing. If anything, they were probably the car thief's friends. A person's essence was hard to hide no matter how different their exterior was. One could always discern the person's real essence from certain clues; for example, Yao Zhixing's habit was different than most.
The point was, these people obviously did not know Yao Zhixing. When the latter rushed down the street acting like a pedestrian, none of them raised their heads to look at him. It was not until Yao Zhixing suddenly kicked the car thief into the car that surprise and anger appeared on their faces.
This was the sign of a mass beating.
Ye Shuang saw the glint of metal up those people's sleeves. They were probably metal pipes. If the pipe accidentally hit the head or an organ, even she as a simple witness would probably be drawn into an investigation.
