Cheng Jiawen smiled at Xu's mother and said, "It's okay. I rode faster today, so I came back a little earlier."
After that, he took Xu Qianjiao's hand and said, "Mom, let's go back to the room and change clothes first."
When Xu's mother saw the two holding hands, her worries were immediately dispelled. "Oh, okay, go ahead, go ahead."
"But if it's not because of a quarrel, why are they both so sad?" Xu's mother became more and more puzzled. "Forget it, don't think about it. Just ask directly later."
Thinking of this, Xu's mother's brows gradually relaxed, and then she went to cook while humming a song.
-------------------------------------
Here, Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen returned to the room. Cheng Jiawen pulled Xu Qianjiao to sit down beside the bed, "Jiaojiao, what happened?"
Xu Qianjiao took a deep breath and told Cheng Jiawen everything that happened today, including seeing someone being kidnapped, going to the police station, and Officer Liu's attitude. She told Cheng Jiawen everything in detail.
After she finished speaking, Cheng Jiawen immediately pulled Xu Qianjiao up and asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Xu Qianjiao turned around according to his strength and said, "It's okay. I didn't face them head-on. I'm not hurt at all."
Hearing her say this, Cheng Jiawen breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. I was so scared. If you encounter something like this in the future, you should do the same. If you can run, run immediately. If you can't run, hide. Don't confront them head-on."
For a weak woman like Xu Qianjiao, being able to run is of course the best, but if she can't run, she should hide as much as possible.
Because once a head-on conflict occurs, not to mention that the other side has more people, even if there is only one person, Xu Qianjiao will not be able to fight. If a conflict really occurs, she will be beaten.
"I understand." Xu Qianjiao nodded obediently.
Cheng Jiawen reached out and ruffled her hair. "Be good, don't go anywhere except to work these days. Wait for me to pick you up when you get off work, okay? Don't go out by yourself at noon."
He knew that Xu Qianjiao often went to the supply and marketing cooperative or department store with Liu Fangjie at noon, but it would be better not to go there these days. After all, the kidnapper had not been caught yet.
It would be fine if the police could catch all of them, but if not, Xu Qianjiao might be in danger. After all, it was she who provided the information to the police, and there was no guarantee that she would not be retaliated against.
"Yeah, I won't go. I'll just go to the train station." Xu Qianjiao nodded and said.
During dinner, Xu Qianjiao told her father and mother what had happened today. They immediately made the decision and told her to wait for Cheng Jiawen to pick her up, and not to be alone no matter what.
Xu Qianjiao had no objection to this. She knew that Xu's father and mother were doing it for her own good.
-------------------------------------
The next day, Xu Qianjiao was still taken to work by Cheng Jiawen. At the train station entrance, Xu Qianjiao waved to Cheng Jiawen and said, "Go back. I'm going to work."
Cheng Jiawen curled his lips and carefully warned, "Remember, don't act alone these few days. Go with others, preferably with a few more people, okay?"
"I know, I know. You should go back soon." Xu Qianjiao said helplessly.
She didn't know how many times she had heard this. When she went out in the morning, Xu's father and mother took turns reminding her, and now Cheng Jiawen reminded her again. She had heard it so many times that she almost knew it by heart.
Sitting at her workstation, Xu Qianjiao was tidying up things on the table when she accidentally overheard the conversation of her colleagues next door.
"Hey, have you heard? Haven't a lot of girls disappeared in the city recently? The murderer was found yesterday."
"Yes, yes, I heard that too. I heard that many people were arrested, but it seems that some people escaped."
"Well, I heard from my relatives that it seems the mastermind hasn't been caught yet."
"Your relative?"
"Well, my nephew works in the police station." When she said this, her tone rose several degrees, and the pride in her tone could not be concealed.
The other woman also took the opportunity to flatter her, "Oh, what a promising young woman! Do you have a partner?"
“No.”
"Not yet, I have a niece..."
After talking about this, Xu Qianjiao lost interest in listening any further. Her heart tightened. Could it be that what they just said was what she saw yesterday?
If that's the case, she will be in danger. Will they be retaliated against?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Then, she wanted to talk to Liu Fangjie, but when she turned around to look at her workstation, she found that she had not arrived yet. Xu Qianjiao glanced at the clock in the hall and saw that there were still ten minutes before work.
Normally at this time, Liu Fangjie would already be sitting at her workstation. What happened today? She hasn't arrived yet.
As time passed, Xu Qianjiao became increasingly anxious. She kept glancing towards the door, "Why hasn't Xiaojie come yet? Has something happened?"
"Ring, ring, ring~" As the bell rang, Liu Fangjie finally rushed into the ticket hall.
Xu Qianjiao was relieved when she saw her coming, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so late today?"
Liu Fangjie sat on a stool, quickly packing her things while saying, "Huh, I was so scared last night that I couldn't sleep, and I can't get up today."
"I was so scared. I hadn't seen you for so long, I thought something had happened to you." Xu Qianjiao said fearfully.
Liu Fangjie smiled at her soothingly, "I'm fine, don't worry. I heard that the people have been arrested, so we can rest assured too."
"We haven't caught all of them yet. There are still some that slipped through the net."
"Ah, they haven't caught all of them yet. That's terrifying! If they knew we were the ones who reported them, then we..."
"Be careful recently." Xu Qianjiao looked at Liu Fangjie's innocent face and warned her seriously.
"good."
"Ouch." Liu Fangjie suddenly covered her stomach. Xu Qianjiao frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Well, I kind of want to go to the bathroom." Liu Fangjie said shyly.
Xu Qianjiao nodded, "Then go ahead, I'll help you watch."
"good."
Tick-tick~ The clock in the hall passed by minute by minute. Half an hour had passed since Liu Fangjie left her workstation, and she had not returned yet. Xu Qianjiao became more and more anxious. While selling tickets, she kept turning her head to look outside the door.
