Chapter 507 Is it really him?

Jiang Zhizhi smiled at Chu Fenghe's obvious question: "Xiangshan Compound, we might not be on the same route."

Chu Fenghe immediately nodded: "It's not on the way, so we'll go first. Teacher Jiang, please be careful on the road."

These past two days, the weather has been warm, and the snow on the roads has melted a lot, leaving them all muddy.

So, instead of riding her bike, Jiang Zhizhi carried the data and prepared to take the bus.

To get from the school to the bus stop, you have to walk through an alley.

The alley is secluded and quiet, and it is especially deserted today.

Jiang Zhizhi was still a little puzzled when two young men suddenly appeared and blocked her from the front and back.

The man with the mustache smiled and asked, "What are you holding? Can we borrow it for a couple of days?"

Jiang Zhizhi glanced at the two shady-looking men and frowned: "These are office materials; you can't use them."

But his mind was racing.

The man with the mustache didn't believe him: "Then lend us your money and food coupons for two days? Otherwise, you won't be leaving this alley today."

Holding the materials, Jiang Zhizhi took a few steps back with a look of fear on her face: "I don't have any money or food coupons either, you...you all need to get out of the way, or I'll scream for help."

The man with the mustache chuckled, "Then go ahead and shout, see if anyone comes to rescue you?"

As he spoke, he walked towards Jiang Zhizhi.

Jiang Zhizhi kept retreating until she was pressed against the wall.

Just as the man with the mustache reached out to grab her, Jiang Zhizhi suddenly screamed, swinging the satchel containing the documents in her hand as she screamed.

It looked like a chaotic, fast, and ruthless flurry of blows.

The two men who had thrown the object didn't dare approach and could only keep backing away, muttering, "You better behave yourself."

Jiang Zhizhi suddenly stopped what she was doing, seized an opportunity, and ran away.

He ran incredibly fast, shouting as he ran, "Help! Help! Someone's robbing us!"

Hearing the commotion, someone ran over to help, but the two young men, seeing that something was wrong, quickly ran in the opposite direction.

Jiang Zhizhi ran out of the alley and onto a crowded road before taking two deep breaths to catch her breath.

"Teacher Jiang? What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhizhi was fiddling with her hair when she heard someone call out. She turned around and saw Chu Fenghe and two other colleagues from the office standing by the roadside pushing their bicycles.

The other two colleagues asked with concern, "Teacher Jiang, were you shouting for help just now? What happened?"

Seeing Jiang Zhizhi's disheveled hair, flushed face, and panic in her eyes, one could be certain that it was she who had just cried for help.

Jiang Zhizhi patted her chest and took a deep breath: "It was me. I just encountered two robbers in the alley."

Upon hearing this, Chu Fenghe immediately stopped his bicycle: "There's even a robbery? Where? Let's go take a look."

The other two male colleagues chimed in, "Yes, where is it? Let's go take a look."

Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "They're probably nowhere to be seen by now. I was really scared just now."

Her colleague comforted her, saying, "It's good that you're alright. Don't walk alone in the future. I've also heard that there have been a lot of robberies lately, so you should still be careful."

Chu Fenghe nodded: "Yes, don't walk alone in the future, and be careful. I'll also report this to the neighborhood; we can't let this kind of situation continue."

"Teacher Jiang cleverly escaped today, but not everyone will be so lucky, so we must strengthen management."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Team Leader Chu. I'll go catch the bus first, or there won't be any left."

Chu Fenghe nodded repeatedly: "Okay, go quickly, and be careful on the way."

Jiang Zhizhi ran towards the bus stop without looking back.

She didn't hit those two people earlier because she was thinking, what if this was a trap set by Chu Fenghe?

Every move she makes was taught by a traitor. If Chu Fenghe were a time traveler, he would be able to see through her tricks at a glance if she were to make a move.

She assumed that Chu Fenghe would be observing from somewhere.

Unexpectedly, he appeared with two colleagues. If that were the case, he would have been able to see him take action.

...

Jiang Zhizhi told Zhou Xiye and Fang Hua about it when she got home.

Fang Hua was startled: "Are robbers this brazen now?"

Jiang Zhizhi was also unsure: "I've never encountered it before, but that alley is quite secluded, it's behind the auto repair shop, and hardly anyone passes by."

Ignoring Fang Hua's presence, Zhou Xiye took her hand and carefully examined it: "Are you hurt?"

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "I definitely can't get hurt. I'm just sighing that these people are a bit too arrogant."

Fang Hua sighed: "Just watch, these people will be punished sooner or later."

Then, looking at Jiang Zhizhi, he asked, "Can't I pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day?"

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and shook her head: "No need, no need. I'll just avoid that path in the future. And after what happened today, the neighborhood committee will definitely be more careful in the future."

Zhou Xiye thought for a moment and said, "I'll pick you up and drop you off at get off work these next two days."

Fang Hua quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, Nishino is resting these days, so we should have him pick us up and drop us off. We can't let anything happen to him."

Jiang Zhizhi didn't refuse, and smiled at Zhou Xiye with her eyes crinkled.

...

The next day, as soon as Jiang Zhizhi arrived at the office, several of her colleagues came to comfort her: "Are you alright yesterday? Were you hurt?"

Jiang Zhizhi asked in surprise, "How did you all know?"

Xiao Zhang looked worried: "Didn't Sun Zhigang and the others from the next office run into you yesterday? They came to the office this morning to tell you."

Jiang Zhizhi was surprised; it turned out that it was two colleagues who had been with Chu Fenghe yesterday who had mentioned it.

Xiao Zhang was still a little scared when he thought about it: "It's good that you're okay. We should be more careful in the future. It's best to go home together after get off work. Don't be alone. Also, there are very few people passing by that alley you walked through yesterday."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, everyone should be more careful in the future and avoid going to remote places."

After the conversation, everyone went back to their own business.

The lab is still a bit inconvenient. Many projects require approval, and it's not up to Jiang Zhizhi to decide. Also, she spends her free time drinking tea, reading newspapers, chatting, and knitting.

Jiang Zhizhi and the others are so busy every day that they don't even have time to sit down.

Having missed lunch again, Jiang Zhizhi didn't want to eat Chu Fenghe's boxed lunch and didn't even leave the lab.

She didn't come out until the afternoon, and she heard Xiao Zhang chattering to her: "Today, Team Leader Chu treated us to lunch again, with meat buns from Ma Laosan's house."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled but didn't say anything.

Xiao Zhang suddenly remembered: "Oh right, after get off work later, shall I go with you to the bus stop? Then I'll ride my bike home?"

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and declined, "No need, no need, my husband is here to pick me up."

Xiao Zhang exclaimed, "Wow! Your partner came to pick you up? You two have such a great relationship!"

Jiang Zhizhi smiled, said goodbye to Xiao Zhang, and packed her things to leave work.

When I got to the gate, I saw Zhou Xiye and Chu Fenghe standing together, talking about something.

Chu Fenghe smiled modestly, seemingly enjoying the conversation quite a bit...
