Chapter 54
It was more reassuring for Aurelia to earn her own money.
Ten minutes later, Millie waved and got off the train, joining the crowd of people who were also getting off work for the day.
She lived in an old residential area surrounded by factories, so the station was always crowded after work.
Millie had complained numerous times about almost getting squeezed onto the train again right after just getting off.
Aurelia had the foresight to stand in a corner to avoid being crushed by the people entering
the door.
However, there were too many people, and collisions were inevitable.
No matter how careful she was, she was still scratched by a woman’s bag. She stepped back to avoid it and accidentally stepped on the foot of the man next to her.
“Sorry, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” The man smiled and said nothing more, glancing down at his shoes.
Aurelia didn’t inquire further and continued to huddle in the corner.
When she was about to take out her phone to listen to some music, she noticed the man’s foot inching closer to hers again.
How strange. After being stepped on, shouldn’t he retract his foot?
Aurelia wondered if the man just had a peculiar way of standing.
In order to prevent herself from accidentally stepping on his foot again, Aurelia moved to increase the space between them.
However, whenever she moved, the man would also follow suit.
Even the seemingly naive Aurelia realized that there was a problem.
When she lowered her head to check, the man immediately retracted his feet.
At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind–upskirt photography.
Stories online often mentioned that some sleazy men would hide cameras in their shoes to take photos up a person’s skirt.
Aurelia was wearing a white dress that day. Due to the crowded train, she had sweated a little. The damp dress stuck tightly to her body, outlining her figure, and it had apparently attracted the attention of a perverted man.
Those kinds of cameras could supposedly be detected with a flash.
Aurelia didn’t want to alert the man just yet. It was crucial to gather evidence first in order to silence him.
With that in mind, she took out her phone. She activated the camera’s flash and pointed it at

his shoes.
“Click!”
Aurelia was startled by the sound of the camera shutter. She was so nervous that she had forgotten to turn off the sound, but she noticed the red dot in the photo.
The man really had a camera hidden in his shoe!

Just when she was about to call someone for help, the man covered her mouth with one hand and tried to grab her phone with the other hand.
She fis
She fiercely protected her phone and struggled to get away.
However, her location in the corner made it challenging. Most of the people around her were wearing headphones and were immersed in their phones, so they didn’t notice her struggle at all.
Aurelia glared at the man and bit him hard when he least expected it.
The man suppressed his urge to shout but was thoroughly infuriated.
He raised his hand to strike Aurelia, but the next moment, someone grabbed his wrist tightly from behind.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Aurelia looked up in astonishment to see Leslie, who stood out from the crowd.
Why was he here?
Before Aurelia could speak, the subway doors suddenly opened.
“We have arrived at Crystal Creek Avenue. Please exit the train in an orderly manner.”
The man and Aurelia were standing close to the doors. Taking advantage of the crowd entering and exiting the train, he forcefully pushed Leslie aside and ran out.
Aurelia chased after him, not bothering to stop and explain.
“Stop! Catch him! He’s a pervert! Stop him!” Aurelia shouted.
The people around heard the commotion, but with the crowded platform, they didn’t know. who she was talking about.
Seeing that the man was about to run up the stairs, Aurelia quickly took off her high heels and chased after him.
“Stop him!”
