Saturday.
When Xia Minmin came downstairs, Tang Meng was already waiting in the pavilion. "Mengmeng, I'm sorry I'm late. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Tang Meng handed Xia Minmin a pineapple bun. "No, no. You always waited for me before, but today it's finally my turn to wait for you. Let's go! Let's go get the car together!"
Xia Minmin took a bite of the pineapple bun, but before she could swallow it, she was drawn to the crispy crust.
"Mengmeng, this pineapple bun is so delicious! Where did you buy it? When can we go buy some together?"
Whether in her past life or this one, Xia Minmin still loves Chi.
Tang Meng smiled and said, "I knew you loved it, so I saved it especially for you. My mom said it tastes even better fresh out of the oven! How about next week? I have English tutoring on Sunday!"
Hearing Tang Meng's tone turn mournful, I said, "I sympathize with you. I'll take you to the English Corner on Sunday afternoon. You need to practice speaking more! I also want to try the newly opened egg tart shop."
Tang Meng looked Xia Minmin up and down, which made Xia Minmin's face turn even redder. She teased, "I think you want to eat egg tarts, don't you?"
"I...I didn't! I just wanted to go with you to practice your English and buy some egg tarts. Last time we passed by there, the line was super long, and it was too late to buy any!"
Xia Minmin's tone was slightly unnatural, but she quickly calmed down.
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, that's it. The car's here, let's get in quickly!"
On Saturdays, there aren't even any empty seats on the buses, let alone standing room.
Xia Minmin and Tang Meng squeezed back with great effort, finally managing to stand by the back door railing and grab onto it to stay steady.
"Mengmeng, how many more stops until we get there?" This was Xia Minmin's first time going to the police station, and she didn't even know the route.
Seeing that Tang Meng ignored her, Xia Minmin called out again, "Mengmeng?"
Suddenly, Tang Meng grabbed Xia Minmin's hand and shook it. Xia Minmin subconsciously looked at Tang Meng, who then gestured for Xia Minmin to look to the side.
Xia Minmin's pupils dilated; there was a thief!
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning: they had to catch him!
Xia Minmin asked again, "Mengmeng, how many more stops until we get there?"
Tang Meng then made a "two" gesture with her hand!
Two more stops!
Xia Minmin pressed Tang Meng down as she was about to cross, and gestured with her hand to indicate that she would make her move after only one stop.
During this time, Xia Minmin and Tang Meng kept a close eye on the thief. She was really greedy; even after getting what she wanted, she didn't leave and continued to steal.
But when the announcement for the next stop came on, Xia Minmin and Tang Meng pushed forward again, stopping when they reached the back of the thief.
Xia Minmin swiftly and decisively twisted the thief's wrist back, shouting, "Stop thief!"
Xia Minmin's wrist twisting technique was specially taught to her by Li Zhonghua and can cause dislocation. This was Xia Minmin's first time using it in practice.
Realizing he had been exposed, the thief was about to jump out of the window to escape despite the excruciating pain when Xia Minmin spotted him and kicked him in the back of the knee, causing him to collapse to the ground.
Tang Meng shouted loudly, "Uncle driver, hurry to the police station!"
Hearing the commotion behind him, the driver slammed on the gas and drove toward the police station.
The passengers in the carriage immediately panicked and began checking their bags.
"My money is gone!"
"Mine too, this is my husband's life-saving money!"
The men on the bus also stepped forward and pinned the thief down.
Xia Minmin also took a quick look around and didn't seem to see any accomplices.
When we arrived at the police station, the driver had the window down and shouted loudly to the police post outside, "There's a thief in my car! Send someone to catch him right away!"
Upon hearing that a thief had been spotted, the security guard at the police station quickly made a phone call. Just as the bus came to a stop, more than a dozen burly men ran out of the office building.
The man in the lead said, "Comrade, we are police officers. Please open the car door, sir."
The driver quickly pressed the door open button.
After boarding the train, the man surveyed the carriage and took out handcuffs to cuff the thief. He noticed that one of the thief's hands seemed somewhat deformed, and the thief trembled when he applied a little force. He then took the thief off the train.
Another kind-looking man got on the bus. "Come on, passengers, get off and give a statement. You can go home after you've given your statement."
After everyone else gave their statements, they were released, leaving only the victims, Xia Minmin, and Tang Meng.
The police have learned what happened from other people, including the thief.
No one could believe that such a tiny little kid could dislocate an adult's hand, and the foot behind the knee was also badly injured, with the entire instep turning purple and swollen.
Xia Minmin and Tang Meng, the two children, were repeatedly surrounded by other people from the Public Security Bureau. Every now and then, several people would come to watch. At first, they would smile, but later they would stare at them expressionlessly.
Tang Meng looked at the men who had gathered around and asked, "Uncle, can I call my dad and ask him to come pick us up?"
"Okay, you can use it!" The man led Tang Meng to the telephone.
Seeing Tang Meng dial a familiar number, the man looked her up and down with some suspicion.
"Is that Dad? It's Mengmeng. Xiaomin and I are on the second floor of the police station. Can you come and pick us up?"
"We're both fine, we're safe!"
"Okay, we'll be good. Come over soon!"
After hanging up the phone and thanking the man, Tang Meng returned to her original seat.
Xia Minmin glanced at the time on her watch. "Mengmeng, the competition has already started!"
"It's okay, my dad will be here to pick us up soon!"
Tang Wu quickly ran from the upper floor to the second floor. Everyone who saw him was puzzled, as they rarely saw the bureau chief so anxious. When they saw the two people sitting upright in their seats, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mengmeng, Xiaomin! Are you two alright?" Tang Wu looked them over and found they were not injured.
"Chief!"
"Chief!"
After learning what had happened to the two men, Tang Wu flicked each of them on the forehead.
It hurts so much!
Xia Minmin and Tang Meng both covered their foreheads.
Tang Wu looked at them with a very serious expression, "Let's see if you two dare to act recklessly again. If this person has an accomplice, your lives will be in danger."
Tang Meng covered her head and said, "Dad, we thought about it before deciding to take action just one stop away from the police station."
Xia Minmin added, "At such a close distance, even if they had accomplices, they would still have time to make it!"
More and more police officers rushed over after hearing the news.
"Chief, are these two your daughters?"
"Like father, like son! Director, you have a successor."
Three men can also make a drama.
Tang Wu pointed at Tang Meng and said, "This is my daughter, and the other one is her good friend."
"Xia Minmin, who taught you that reverse dislocation technique? Could you teach us?"
"Chief, you didn't see what that thief looked like! He's in terrible shape! He'll probably need to go to the hospital!"
Tang Wu said with a smile, "She is a martial arts expert, so don't underestimate her. Her reverse twisting technique was probably taught to her by her uncle. If you want to learn, you can ask her."
Xia Minmin nodded and then taught them the specific techniques before Tang Wu took them to watch the competition.
