"Yuan Zhuan, can I go home with you guys?" Yu Duoduo, the cutie sitting behind Yuan Zhuan, blushed and stole a glance at the boy next to Yuan Zhuan. She spoke to Yuan Zhuan, but her eyes were looking in another direction.

Yuan Zhuan: ...Here we go again.

"Sorry, I have something to do today, my family will pick me up." This same conversation has been going on for a month now, almost two or three times a week, and she has offended all the girls in her class.

Yuan Zhuan glanced resentfully at the person engrossed in their work, feeling utterly helpless.

The girl's emotional intelligence is growing rapidly, but the handsome boy next to her hasn't figured it out yet.

"What's wrong?" Tu Du was engrossed in his homework when he felt Yuan Zhuan's gaze beside him and looked over with some curiosity.

"It's nothing." See? That's how it is.

As for the fish in the back, a pair of white eyes have already been offered up.

Yuan Zhuan was truly wronged. It wasn't that she was unsociable, but rather that she genuinely had nothing in common with the people around her and didn't know what to say. When it came to dressing up as a young girl, she was completely clueless, not much different from those two simpletons, Tu Du and Su Hao. She didn't care about the quality of her clothes, clothing, or shelter; as long as she had enough to eat and wear, that was enough.

He tried to fit in, but after receiving a lot of surprised looks, Yuan Zhuan stopped trying and simply chose to remain silent when there was no need to.

When the school bell rang, Yuan Zhuan stood up and, as usual, packed his things, watching Tu Du methodically pack his schoolbag.

At the school gate, besides the honest students and parents, there were also some hooligans hoping to take advantage of the situation.

The so-called "bargain hunting" is actually just looking for which kid has a slightly bulging wallet, and the nearby convenience store is the proof.

Yuan Zhuan was pushing his bicycle and was about to get on when he noticed a short, small boy whose upper body was covered by his schoolbag being pushed and shoved by two blond-haired men on the side of the road next to the convenience store. The teachers and parents on duty at the gate were focused on watching the flow of people coming out of the school and did not notice him.

Tu Du was right next to Yuan Zhuan, so he naturally saw it too.

"I'll go." It'll be a good opportunity to put what I've learned these past few days into practice.

Yuan Zhuan shrugged, pushed the cart, and followed behind Tu Du.

Actually, she originally wanted to shout, but if she did, the other party would run away, so it was better to solve the problem once and for all and let them in.

In the alley, Huang Jiaqian was pushed against the wall with her head down, her face pale.

"Hey kid, you've got some money, buying so much food. We're hungry, want some?" The skinny thug who looked like a monkey snatched the plastic bag from the little boy's hand, opened it, and saw that it was full of delicious and expensive snacks that other kids from poorer families couldn't afford to eat.

"Tsk tsk... I like kids from rich families, hehe."

"Brother Monkey, this kid comes from a rich family. Maybe his family is powerful too. What if we rob him and then get revenge?" The short, blond guy whispered to the skinny thug.

The man known as Monkey King rolled his eyes and looked at Huang Jiaqian, "Take the money out of your hand."

Huang Jiaqian didn't speak, her head was down, her hands were tucked into her sleeves, and she was trembling with fear.

With his parents away, he's been filling his stomach with snacks every day for the past few days. It was because he was buying snacks that these people targeted him.

Huang Jiaqian pursed her lips and remained silent.

I have no money, but you can take my life. I won't give it to you.

"I'm talking to you, kid! You're not a mute either!" Monkey Brother shoved Huang Jiaqian, who bumped into the wall, straightened up, and remained silent with his head down.

"Hey, you little brat, Erbao, come on, let's strip him naked! And his backpack, let's search it!"

As Yuan Zhuan and Tu Du entered the alley, a shrill scream came from inside. The short boy had bitten the skinny man's right hand, and the scream came from his mouth. Meanwhile, another thug was punching the boy repeatedly, trying to make him let go.

"Let go, let go, I'll make you let go!!"

"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, are you alright...?"

The young boy clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to let go even as fists rained down on him; his narrow eyes were filled with a scarlet stubbornness and ruthlessness.

Tu Du threw down the car and rushed over. In no time, two thugs were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. The monkey on the ground had blood on his right palm and was howling the loudest.

"I called the police."

Tianzhu Police Station.

After Zeng Jing brought the young man he had arrested over and had him give a statement, he got up to leave. But when he turned around, he saw a familiar face.

"Yuan Zhuan?" That sharp-tongued little girl.

He had only ever met this one girl in his life, and he was laughed at all day by that bastard Niu Hongji for her sharp tongue.

Yuan Zhuan, who entered with them, was just a passerby, but he still followed Huang Jiaqian and the thugs in, since Tu Du was involved.

I never expected to run into Zeng Jing here.

They are indeed acquaintances, having met many times, but the other person may only think that the last time was the first time they met.

"Uncle Zeng, it's been a long time." Yuan Zhuan smiled.

Zeng Jing looked surprised. "Are we that close? It's been a long time since we last met. It's only been three days."

Before Zeng Jing could react, Yuan Zhuan had already passed by and followed behind to testify.

When they walked out of the police station again, only Huang Jiaqian, Tu Du, and Yuan Zhuan remained.

This seems to be the third time he's entered and exited. Yuan Zhuan looked at the three big characters "Public Security Bureau" with amusement, as if they were quite destined to meet.

only……

The man surnamed Zeng, sitting on the stool and staring intently at the door, was rather conspicuous.

Although she wanted to take a detour to avoid him, the dark aura on Zeng's eyebrows was simply too much for her to bear. It just goes to show that people have a certain kind of luck.

It would be a real shame if someone with such meritorious deeds were to become disabled.

Tsk... It's not good to run into someone who doesn't care.

"Looking for me?" Yuan Zhuan stood in front of Zeng Jing.

Zeng looked up at the girl, the afterglow illuminating the fine down on her face, making her features appear as if covered in a layer of golden light. "You do have some self-awareness."

Yuan Zhuan snorted, "Are you going to a party today?" He got straight to the point.

Zeng Jing was taken aback, somewhat surprised. "How did you know?"

"Don't go, you won't even get to eat there." They'll inevitably encounter a three-car pileup on the way, becoming one of the unfortunate bystanders caught in the crossfire.

"What do you mean?" Zeng Jing lowered his arms from his chest, looking completely bewildered. He couldn't understand what this sharp-tongued brat meant by saying that.

"Let's go back. After all, it's quite inconvenient to live without a leg." With that, Yuan Zhuan pulled Tu Du aside and left.

Zeng Jing turned around, mouth agape, and watched the two leave.

The two walked away and disappeared from sight. Zeng Jing was still sitting on the stool in a daze until his mobile phone rang. "Hey old classmate, are you on your way? We've all arrived and are just waiting for you..." The phone was noisy with voices. You could tell there were many people around, and they were all somewhat familiar with each other, since it wasn't the first time they had gathered together.

"Huh? Oh, okay, I'm coming right now." Zeng Jing stood up, leaning on the chair arm, and left the police station courtyard, intending to walk there. After all, it was less than three miles, and taking a taxi would be a waste of money.

After walking a few steps, my steps inexplicably slowed down and I stopped.

There was a lot of traffic on the road, and pedestrians passed by from time to time. The street outside the police station was quite bustling, but for some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy today.

Clutching his chest, he smacked his lips, Yuan Zhuan's words echoing in his mind.

"Ugh, this brat, she can't say a single nice thing. Ugh, what do you mean by 'missing a leg'? She's such a jinx, hmph!" Next time he sees her, he'll definitely teach her a lesson and stop her from talking nonsense.

Thinking this, Zeng Jing straightened his clothes and strode forward. When he passed the first traffic light intersection, he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation. Yuan Zhuan's words, "losing a leg," inexplicably echoed in his mind again. His legs seemed to have a mind of their own and stopped until the green light on the pedestrian crossing went out and the red light came on.

Oh well, I missed it. Another five minutes of waiting.

The green light at the intersection across the street had come on. If he had crossed earlier, he would have caught the green light just in time. The light at this intersection is quite long, so it's rare to be able to wait together so smoothly. Most of the time, both ends have to stop and wait for a while.

Zeng Jing's mobile phone rang again at this moment. He took it out, frowned, and realized it was that classmate from before.

This time, things were even more chaotic on the other end of the phone. The old classmate's breathing was particularly loud, "Zeng Jing, Zeng Jing, don't come over, don't come over! Remember Xu Yan? Your class monitor suddenly had a heart attack and fainted. She was taken to the hospital. Everyone was terrified. The drinks haven't even been served yet, they've all been cleared away..."

Zeng Jing was surprised and was about to speak when he heard a sudden braking sound from the opposite side. The sound of tires screeching against the ground was particularly ear-piercing. Bang bang bang... Three vehicles collided while turning right. One of them was a heavy truck with a bed full of coarse sand. Because of the sudden braking, it overturned and hit several pedestrians on the sidewalk. Because the vehicle was too long, there were only a few people crossing the sidewalk together, and none of them survived.

With a thud, the mobile phone fell from my hand and shattered on the ground, cracking the screen.

Zeng Jing stared blankly at the crowd rapidly gathering on the sidewalk, the screaming pedestrians, those calling for ambulances, those shouting for help...

He lifted his leg, intending to go to the rescue, but his legs went weak, and he sat down on the curb with a thud. Cold sweat seeped from his scalp, his forehead, and his nose were covered in it. His heart was pounding, as if a thousand horses were galloping through his chest.

"Damn it!" After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a single sound.

So, what that girl said should be right here.

If he hadn't stopped and walked over, he would have crossed the road with that group of people, and now he would be one of those people who were turned up in the sand.

A police car passed by...

Zeng Jing braced himself on the ground, trying to get up to help, but his whole body was too weak. After struggling a few times, he sat down again.

Never before have I felt so panicked and disoriented.

The relief of surviving the ordeal made it hard to breathe. He couldn't imagine how he would survive if he lost a leg. His parents were almost seventy, and the family relied on a small shop to make ends meet. His father had cardiovascular disease and needed medication year-round, and his younger sister was still in school. So, the family's expenses were truly enormous. If he lost a leg and his job, his family...

Thinking of this, Zeng Jing covered her face, tears streaming through her fingers.

"Need any help?" a clear female voice rang out from above.

Zeng Jing paused in her act of covering her face, looked up, and saw the girl's innocent face in her line of sight, while the handsome boy beside her was gone.

"Are you looking for Tu Du? He went to help."

Caught crying in the act by that brat, how embarrassing.

With the help of the brat he called a "stinky girl," Zeng Jing, whose legs were weak, stood up. His shoulders were patted, and his trembling legs slowly regained their strength.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the girl's indifferent face. "How did you know?" There would be a car accident, and he would be one of the victims.

"I'll find out when I want to know."

Zeng Jing: ...

"You can tell fortunes?" He couldn't think of anything else besides fortune telling and face reading.

“Fortune telling is only one aspect of my skills. I can also do feng shui, acupressure, and exorcising evil spirits,” Yuan Zhuan said, turning his head without any attempt to hide his abilities.

Zeng Jing: Huh?

Is it true or false?

"The dark aura on your brow has disappeared, this is a very auspicious sign."

As soon as Yuan Zhuan finished speaking, he saw someone place their hand on their brow, looking utterly shocked.

“What’s so surprising? Face reading is a kind of tradition, and my family is a descendant of this tradition. I have to go save people now. Are you coming with me or going back? I can help you get a taxi, but you can pay for the fare yourself.”

"Together."

Zeng Jing, who had recovered, joined Yuan Zhuan in the rescue. Fortunately, fire trucks and engineering vehicles arrived with tools soon after, and several ambulances also arrived and took their positions.

"Girl, I was thinking of having a meal with you, is that convenient?" He knew that one meal wouldn't be enough for someone with only one leg, so he thought he'd ask how much it would cost later, and if that wasn't enough, he'd go to the bank to withdraw more money.

"No need, I have to go back to my boxing practice. I've already been delayed for too long. Goodbye, Officer Zeng."

Zeng Jing watched the two leave again, unable to recover for a long time.

When Zeng Jing arrived home, it was already dark. In the shop, her parents' busy figures looked very warm under the dim light, and her younger sister's picture of doing her homework on the counter was also heartwarming. However, all of this was almost shattered.

"Brother, you're back." Zeng Yuan kept glancing at the intersection and soon spotted Zeng Jing returning. She waited for her brother to come home every day like this; she wouldn't go back to her room to do her homework until he came back.

"Yes, I'm back."

The younger sister happily greeted him, making Zeng Jing smile from the bottom of his heart.

On their bike ride to the company, Yuan Zhuan asked Tu Du, "Zhuanzhuan, is Officer Zeng's ordeal over? Will it happen again?"

"Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible, but fate is ever-changing, and the future, good or bad, depends on every step one takes. If something goes wrong, there will inevitably be consequences." Therefore, fate is predetermined, but the choices we make after birth can also change our destiny.

"Oh, that's good. Officer Zeng is a good person."

"You found out again?" Yuan Zhuan asked, amused.

The boy turned his head and said, "I've seen him do this several times; he's always there to help others."

Yuan Zhuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

It's normal for people who admire those who act bravely and righteously to be rewarded with good deeds.

Therefore, as long as he remains true to his original aspirations, he will surely live a peaceful life, and his good deeds will also change the fate of his family.

"System, did I earn any merit for saving someone today?"

"No, he died a violent death."

Yuan Zhuan: ...

Well, the path to accumulating merit is long!
