Su Qiao finally managed to persuade Zhou Qing to go back.
Zhou's father felt that Su Qiao was someone he could befriend more closely.
It would be very good for my child to have such an upright and kind friend in the future.
After Su Qiao took her leave.
Zhou Qing's heart began to panic again; that near-death feeling returned.
She could only lean on her mother's arms.
"Mom, actually, my falling into the water wasn't an accident."
Her tone was calm, as if she were saying, "The weather is nice today."
But this startled Zhou's mother.
She had just hurriedly brought the person back; if there hadn't been guests at home, she would have asked them already.
Before she could even speak, Zhou's father was already furious.
"Which bastard is it?"
Zhou Qing's eyes welled up with tears as she told the truth.
This plunged the entire Zhou family into silence.
Su Qiao was unaware of the Zhou family's situation and was preoccupied with what she needed to buy later.
She had all the necessary tickets and the storage space even had a preservation function. So she bought everything she could think of and everything she could afford.
It filled a whole basket.
She had just taken the basket from her spatial storage while hiding in the corner.
She only left the supply and marketing cooperative when she couldn't fit any more in her bag. She was carrying a bag of peach shortbread in her hand.
Just as she was about to step into the alley, she noticed footsteps behind her, quickly approaching her.
Su Qiao knew that she was probably being watched because she had just bought something.
She dared not underestimate her opponent and quickly walked towards the crowd.
She is very strong now, but her combat skills are not up to par.
The people behind them were in hot pursuit.
Su Qiao secretly smuggled the contents of her basket into her spatial dimension.
If all else fails, she simply throws the basket away.
Su Qiao kept an eye on the person behind her; he seemed to be waiting for her to be alone.
My heart sank, and I dared not let my guard down, focusing all my attention on what was behind me.
Before you know it, you'll run right into a wall of people.
His body leaned backward uncontrollably, but someone grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
I fell into a solid embrace.
She looked up and saw that it was Lu Xiangze.
Lu's mother was not by his side.
The tall, thin man following behind seemed to think his opportunity had arrived.
"So you've really dared to have an affair in the street! No wonder you wanted to run away from your wedding, so you've been seeing someone else!"
As he spoke, the man reached out to pull her.
Su Qiao was puzzled and took a step back. "I don't know you at all!"
Another shifty-eyed man jumped out from the side and chimed in, "Your family actually has the nerve to accept my brother's betrothal gifts? You're shameless! And you still have the nerve to run away! Hurry up and come back with us!"
The two brothers worked together.
Lu Xiangze's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.
Su Zhiqing was clearly a newly arrived educated youth from the village, so how could her parents find her a local fiancé so quickly?
This is utterly absurd; these two are clearly lying!
He kicked one of them away.
At the same time, he shielded Su Qiao behind him and turned around to kick another person away.
Both of them were swindlers, so Lu Xiangze naturally didn't hold back.
Those two kicks rendered them unable to move.
The tall, thin man immediately collapsed to the ground, wailing, "This is outrageous! The People's Liberation Army is ruining someone's marriage! Everyone, come and judge this!"
A crowd instantly gathered around.
Occasionally, a few people in the crowd would speak loudly, guiding the conversation.
In short, everyone was there for Su Qiao.
They even tried to drag Lu Xiangze into it.
Su Qiao understood perfectly well; she hadn't bought too many things to attract attention.
It was clearly orchestrated by someone.
If we can kidnap her, that would be best; at the very least, we should ruin her reputation.
Su Qiao was furious inside, but her face remained even calmer.
"Since you feel you've been wronged, let's go to the police station together. They'll make their own judgment on right and wrong."
The people in the front row stopped making a fuss after hearing this.
The onlookers stopped talking and waited to see what would happen next.
Someone volunteered to go find the police.
The tall, thin man panicked. "You shameless woman! You may not care about your own reputation, but I do! I'm going back right now to get my dowry back! You just wait!"
As they were speaking, another person stepped out from the crowd and tried to help the man up.
But Lu Xiangze stopped him.
"Don't leave!"
"Why won't you let me leave? I'm free!"
Upon hearing this word, Lu Xiangze's eyes sharpened, and he became even more reluctant to let them leave.
They also subdued the one who tried to take the two away.
Suddenly a scream rang out: "Which bastard stole my wallet?!"
The crowd stirred slightly, and everyone began to look around.
Someone is running outside.
An old woman squeezed into the middle and asked Lu Xiangze for help.
"Young man, are you in the army? Can you help me get my wallet back? It contains my old man's life-saving money!"
The old woman's eyes were filled with tears, her gaze pleading.
She clung to Lu Xiangze's sleeve, crying and pleading incessantly.
Lu Xiangze, who had been struggling, couldn't help but glance in the direction the man had fled.
Seeing that he didn't move, the old woman tightened her grip even more.
Lu Xiangze lowered his head to brush her hand away, but when he went to chase after her, he noticed a strange callus on the old woman's hand.
“I saw a young man already chasing after him, ma’am, don’t worry. And someone has called the police, they’ll be here soon. We can ask them for help together.”
The old woman was dumbfounded; this shouldn't be happening.
Seeing Lu Xiangze's cold-blooded ruthlessness, the voices that had just subsided began to rise again.
They're all pointing the finger at Lu Xiangze.
The old woman also changed her attitude, throwing a tantrum and complaining.
“You are the people’s soldiers, and I am the people. I am in trouble now. If you don’t help me, it’s like watching someone die. Besides, if it weren’t for your farce, blocking the street, would the thief have been able to steal my hospital fees?”
"It's all your fault! If anything happens to my old man, you two will be the culprits!"
Su Qiao kept an eye on the movements between the group.
It's just too much of a coincidence.
These people appeared one after another, as if they had planned it all.
He immediately retorted, "That's rather ridiculous. Did we force you to come and watch the show? This road is so wide, how are we blocking it? In this world, the weak are not always right, and besides..."
Su Qiao deliberately dragged out her voice.
The old woman's attention also fell on her.
"Your wallet wasn't lost, was it?"
Su Qiao pointed to the old woman's waist pocket and said that her movements had been too vigorous, and a corner of the money in the pocket had been shaken out.
As soon as Su Qiao finished speaking, the brand-new ten-yuan bills in the old woman's pocket fell to the ground.
She quickly bent down to pick it up.
A group of police officers have arrived at the scene.
The old woman turned to look at Su Qiao, her eyes instantly filled with resentment and malice.
The three people lying on the ground were also arrested.
Taking the opportunity, Su Qiao pointed out a few more suspicious people.
Lu Xiangze nodded.
They successfully caught those few people who didn't have time to run away.
These are the few people who started it.
They were also sent to the Public Security Bureau.
