"Then Auntie, why don't you report him to the police?" Auntie sighed, "Girl, we want to report him to the police too, but the officials have been bribed by him and they pretended not to see anything. He is in cahoots with the officials, so it doesn't matter whether we report him to the police or not, no one will care about him."
As expected, no matter where you are, as long as there are people there will be corrupt management. "That old man has a difficult time too. His wife fell ill a few days ago and he has no money to treat her. He relies on his son to bring back some money every month and the money from selling pigs to live on. Just now, in the blink of an eye, most of the money for selling pigs was gone." Lu Wan suddenly felt disgusted, not only towards the thief, but also towards the other people who protected him.
Lu Wan sneaked back while his aunt was watching a play and told Chen Yan what happened. Chen Yan frowned after listening to it. He didn't expect that the world would be like this now. "Go up and help." He knew that Lu Wan was a person with a cold appearance but a warm heart.
The old man here is so anxious that he is about to cry. His wife's medicine just expires today, and he is counting on the money from buying pork today to buy medicine for his wife, and he can't run out of medicine. But the money was taken by someone else and it was done openly and honestly. Lu Wan couldn't bear it any longer and pulled Chen Yan outside. The old man seemed to see that Chen Yan was not an ordinary young man and ran to Chen Yan, "Good man, please, help an old man like me. This is the money to save my wife's life." The old man was out of breath, holding his heart and looking at Chen Yan. Chen Yan did not disappoint the old man and turned to look at the thief. The thief also saw that Chen Yan had an extraordinary bearing and felt a little guilty at the moment, but thinking that he had no handle, he felt a little more confident.
"You said you didn't steal the money?" Chen Yan looked at the thief. The thief looked around and no longer looked at Chen Yan. The people around him saw this scene and knew that the thief would not be able to escape today. "What evidence do you have to prove that I stole the money? I said he framed me!" The thief secretly took a few steps back. Chen Yan chased him directly. The thief was not as tall as Chen Yan and was only as tall as Chen Yan's shoulder. The thief looked up at him, "You, you, what do you want to do?" The thief's momentum gradually weakened. He did not expect that the nail he encountered today would be so hard. "Nothing, I just want to prove whether you stole the money or not." Chen Yan had a harmless smile on his face, and several girls around him were dazzled.
"If I say I don't have it, then I don't have it!" The thief seemed to want to be stubborn and speak. Shen Yan turned around and asked the uncle: "Uncle, what does your lost wallet look like?" The uncle thought for a while and said, "A purple one with patterns on it, but it's so old that it's in a mess. My wife gave it to me." The thief shook the bag in his hand, which was a red bag. Hearing the old man's words, the thief's confidence came up instantly, "Look, my bag is red, and the one he lost is purple. It has nothing to do with me, don't..." Before he could finish speaking, the purse was taken from him by Shen Yan and handed to the old man. The old man was so moved that he almost cried. "Hey, you, what are you doing..." The thief fainted when he was chopped down by Shen Yan before he could finish his words. Just now, Shen Yan told Lu Wan to tell his uncle that his purse was purple, so as to lure the thief into the trap, and sure enough, he took the bait.
Chen Yan looked at Lu Wan with a look of asking for reward, and Lu Wan dodged away embarrassedly. Chen Yan is still very smart.
After Lu Wan and Shen Yan dealt with the problem with the girl, they continued to move forward. They couldn't stop until they reached their destination. I encountered many such cases along the way. Shen Yan showed off his skills and took good care of Lu Wan, which caused a ripple in Lu Wan's calm heart.

Lu Wan began to be confused about her own thoughts. During the days she spent with Shen Yan, the discomfort in her heart gradually disappeared. She no longer held a grudge like she did at the beginning and was immersed in her own sad world. Turning her head to look at Shen Yan's angular profile, she realized that Shen Yan was not only very smart, but also very attentive to her. He would considerately hand her a coat, and along the way, Shen Yan was very concerned about her thoughts. No matter what the matter is, her opinion will be sought.
During the nearly half-month journey, Chen Yan had been trying various ways to make Lu Wan happy, and sometimes he would even go out of his way to give her surprises. Lu Wan felt extremely happy with Shen Yan. Looking at the bright smile on Shen Yan's lips, Lu Wan felt that her originally gray sky was painted with color. "We've been walking for so long, do you want to take a break?" Chen Yan looked at Lu Wan and saw that the skin on Lu Wan's mouth was a little cracked, so he took off the water bag and handed it to Lu Wan.
"No need. It's not dark yet. If we walk a little longer, we will probably reach our destination tomorrow." Lu Wan smiled at Chen Yan, took the water bag and poured it into his mouth. In the sunlight, the water mark at the corner of Lu Wan's mouth shone with golden light, and Chen Yan was stunned.
The two of them hurried and finally arrived at the place when the sun was about to set the next day. The water rippled and formed fiery red waves. The sea water was azure blue. Lu Wan paddled handfuls of clean water with his hands and stepped on the soft sand. Occasionally, a few small crabs would walk by with a fierce look on their faces. The fishermen around were all coming back in their fishing boats with smiles of good harvest on their faces. Any astute person could tell that today’s catch must have been quite a lot. Shen Yan watched lovingly from the side. Looking at the handful of water in his hand, he looked at Shen Yan who was standing quietly beside him. Lu Wan's mind suddenly became clear.
After all, we only have one life. If we keep reminiscing about the past, there will be no future. She and Xiao Yu'an were not suitable for each other, so why did she insist on this relationship and be deeply involved in it and unable to extricate herself? She wants freedom. Life is short. She wants to follow her deepest desire, find a partner who loves her and she loves him too, and live a peaceful life together, instead of just reminiscing about the past and refusing to accept reality.
