Shao Jingque was still hesitating about how to start, but Lu Zhan beside him had already walked up to the neighbors, asked which households' windows were smashed, and then compensated them one by one.
There were public security comrades present and the other party was a soldier, so I don't think anyone would dare to impersonate him.
Shao Jingque pursed her lips, and the panic she had just felt was quietly soothed away by Lu Zhan's seemingly natural action.
There seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes as she looked at Lu Zhan's back, and suddenly a ridiculous idea popped up in her mind - it seemed not bad to have a husband as secure as Lu Zhan!
Just as a smile appeared on her lips, Lu Zhan turned around and looked at her, and their eyes met again in the air.
Caught off guard, Lu Zhan saw Shao Jingque smiling at him, and he felt as if his heart was hit hard by something, and suddenly began beating faster.
He touched his nose unnaturally, and Shao Jingque also cleared his throat in a panic:
"Ahem, ahem, I...I'll give it to you when I get back tonight."
Give him, what?
When these words were spoken, Lu Zhan was obviously stunned. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and then his face turned red.
Shao Jingque was stunned for a second, then suddenly realized that he had just said something that could easily be misunderstood as "tiger and wolf words", and quickly made amends:
"I, I mean I'll return the money to you in the evening."
Only then did Lu Zhan realize that he had misunderstood, and his already red face suddenly became hot enough to make pancakes.
He was about to say no, but his conversation was overheard by the skinny woman who had received the compensation. She smiled and said in a good mood:
"What's there for you two to pay back? My dear wife, you've just gotten married, and you're still being polite to your husband. Remember what I say, what's his is yours, and what's yours... is still yours. Am I right, Old Man Zhu?"
At this moment, the skinny woman looked like a warm-hearted elder sister, and there was no trace of her sharp and aggressive look from before. Her man also smiled foolishly and nodded continuously.
Shao Jingque felt his face getting hot and he smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he inexplicably felt a little happy about this little misunderstanding.
The skinny woman nudged her old man Zhu with her elbow, looking envious:
"Look at them, let me tell you, they look like a couple, newlyweds at that. They blush at every word they say. Unlike you, you have a thicker skin than a city wall."
Old man Zhu was smiling at the beginning, but when he heard that the innocent man was shot again, he curled his lips and said nothing - who is the person who was arguing that the young wife and the human trafficker were a couple?
When the two men came out of the police station after recording their statements, Shao Jingque still couldn't help feeling a little scared.
It turned out that this was not a simple kidnapping, but a human trafficking case by a gang. Recently, several young girls and boys in Guangning City were abducted by this group of people.
This gang has a large number of people and a clear division of labor. There are people who deceive people, thugs, people who are responsible for transportation, and people who are responsible for finding the next buyer... In short, once you are controlled by this gang, it is very difficult to escape on your own.
Of course, the people living in that small courtyard were not a family of three, but several young and middle-aged human traffickers of the same age as the man. They usually searched for "prey" everywhere, and that courtyard was just one of their resting places and transit stations.
Shao Jingque was lucky in misfortune. When she was brought to the door by "Sister Jin", the man was the only one there, so when the three of them were fighting, she was able to find an opportunity to pick up a brick and smash the glass.
If other accomplices were there, she would probably have no chance of resisting.
How could she wait until Lu Zhan came to rescue her...
"Captain Lu, thank you. If you hadn't shown up in time, I would have been seriously injured even if I hadn't been kidnapped."
Shao Jingque sincerely thanked Lu Zhan. It had only been two days since he traveled to this era, but he had already helped him a lot and even paid the compensation for him.
"Can I treat you to a meal?"
Shao Jingque asked this question uncertainly. She didn't know whether Lu Zhan would reject her. After all, Lu Zhan was not very happy in the few times they had met.
When Lu Zhan heard Shao Jingque say that she wanted to treat him to a meal, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then he asked calmly:
"Do you have money?"
Shao Jingque choked. This question...
She really felt that Lu Zhan was good in every way except for his mouth.
But to thank someone, one must have a grateful attitude. Shao Jingque answered honestly:
"I don't have money for a meal, but I still have money for a bowl of wontons or noodles. Maybe I can save it for another day..."
It was indeed a bit unreasonable to treat his savior to a bowl of noodles. Shao Jingque thought about inviting Lu Zhan to a state-owned restaurant for a good meal another day.
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Lu Zhan took over the conversation:
"There's a good noodle shop at the intersection ahead."
"Oh, oh, then... shall we eat at that restaurant?"
Shao Jingque tried to figure out the meaning of Lu Zhan's words. Lu Zhan nodded and strode ahead.
Under the flickering street lights, Lu Zhan's tall and slender shadow swayed like a little bear shaking its head, and he seemed to be in a good mood for some reason.
......
Under the night sky, the light was on in the study on the second floor of the Qi family's house.
Qi Mingyuan put the teacup heavily on the desk, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger:
"I told you to go to the Yue family to apologize and propose marriage, why didn't you go?!"
Last night, when Qu Jingyun learned that Qi Shengzhi had gotten into trouble again and was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital, Qi Mingyuan sent someone to bring back Qi Shengzhi, who was living alone outside, and scolded him severely.
