Anning stepped forward and picked up this one item from the pile of gold.
Seeing her actions, Lin Hang instinctively wanted to stop her, but An Ning was faster than him and successfully prevented Lin Hang from taking action. "This looks familiar. It seems like something that was stolen from my house."
An Ning's tone was as if she were casually remarking, but Lin Hang's movements faltered, and his sharp brows furrowed slightly. "Your house? Have you ever reported a burglary?"
Seeing that Lin Hang had misunderstood her meaning, An Ning explained, "No, what I mean is, this is something my parents lost. I don't know if they reported it stolen or not, but this bracelet seems to be mine. It was probably a gift for my coming-of-age ceremony."
When Anning mentioned the specific time, she hesitated for a moment, as if she was thinking about it, as if it were a completely unfamiliar thing to her.
It is indeed quite unfamiliar.
After all, she wasn't the one who received the item.
Anning didn't know if Lin Hang believed her, but she knew he was still wary of her. "Officer Lin, with so much stuff, it must be difficult for you to handle it all by yourself, right? Shouldn't you call a few more colleagues?"
She offered what seemed like a perfectly reasonable suggestion, and as she spoke, she slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.
It's very suitable.
The size of the bracelet was perfect for her hand; she could put it on easily with almost no extra force.
What are you trying to do?
Lin Hang's gaze was sharp, never leaving An Ning's wrist for a moment.
They were incredibly audacious, trying to take the stolen goods right in front of him.
An Ning shrugged. "Don't worry, Officer Lin. I can't run away. I can just take it off later. I haven't seen it in a long time, and I miss it."
Her words were light and airy, as if she were saying, "I'll just rub against the outside, but I won't go in."
Lin Hang still didn't let his guard down around her, staring at her intently, and the two remained locked in this stalemate for a moment.
Until Lin Hang's phone rang.
Seeing that Lin Hang still seemed reluctant to look away, An Ning nodded slightly. "Don't worry, I'll just stand here and not move. You can answer your call."
Lin Hang stared intently at her, took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and sure enough, just as he had guessed, the caller was Feng Lin.
They must be getting impatient.
"Hey, what's up?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end. Lin Hang waited a while before he heard a voice coming from the receiver, "Officer, do you still want him dead? You'd better not touch my things, or I can't guarantee what I might do."
Lin Hang's pupils contracted slightly. He suppressed the surging anger and gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Don't make any rash moves!"
"I'll see if you dare to make any rash moves before I do. If anything is missing, I'll make sure your people are missing something too!"
Lin Hang's eyes widened in anger, the veins on his fingers gripping the phone bulging, and every word was squeezed out through clenched teeth, "I won't touch your things, but if anything happens to my people, you won't get away with it!"
Lin Hang's call wasn't on speakerphone, so An Ning could only deduce who was calling by analyzing what Lin Hang said.
She didn't even need to think to arrive at the answer: it was that old thief she knocked unconscious with a single blow.
It has a pretty strong recovery ability; it regained consciousness so quickly.
Anning's phone was completely broken, and she was unable to contact the outside world at this time, but this did not affect her at all.
"Crazy old man, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"
She suddenly spoke, extending her hand with an air of self-assurance, certain that the crazy old man would lend her the money.
As expected, the crazy old man just glared at her and took his phone out of his pocket without saying anything. However, when he handed his old-fashioned phone to An Ning, he couldn't help but mutter, "What use do you have for my old-fashioned phone?"
An Ning said nonchalantly, "Any phone that can make calls is a good phone."
Jiang Yu was taking a shower when he heard the phone ring. He had casually tossed his phone on the sink. Seeing an unfamiliar number, he hung up immediately.
After hanging up the phone, he focused on taking a shower. In the steamy bathroom, his phone, which had only been silent for half a minute, rang noisily again.
This completely ruined Jiang Yu's good mood while taking a bath.
"If this is a sales pitch, I won't believe Jiang unless I curse you to death!"
Jiang Yu strode towards the washbasin, grabbed his phone with his large hand, and swiped his wet fingers across the screen several times before answering the call.
Before he could even greet the other person's family after the call connected, the caller spoke first, "Jiang Yu."
Jiang Yu turned off the shower to answer the phone. At this moment, the large bathroom was silent except for his breathing. The girl's soft voice calling his name echoed in the room, making him momentarily lost in thought.
Seeing that Jiang Yu hadn't paid any attention to her for a long time, An Ning called out again, "Jiang Yu?"
The second sound successfully brought Jiang Yu back to his senses. He tightened his grip on the phone slightly. "Huh? Huh, what's wrong?"
An Ning didn't care why he hadn't responded earlier, but instead asked, "Where are you now?"
"I'm taking a shower now."
"..."
Jiang Yu didn't know why he had such a brain fart and answered like that. When he realized what he had done, he quickly tried to cover it up, "I, I'm at Fengchao!"
That's good.
She looked down at the old-fashioned mobile phone in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Could you do me a favor?"
"I'll treat you to fried rice with sausage and egg next time."
Jiang Yu smiled. "What kind of help? I'll definitely help if I can."
"Go downstairs now and help me deal with someone. I want to be a good Chinese citizen, and the police will give me a banner in appreciation."
After briefly explaining the whole story to Jiang Yu, An Ning hung up the phone without hesitation. When she looked up, she saw that the other two people were staring at her.
The old madman couldn't keep his mouth shut and asked directly, "Your boyfriend?"
Since you're living together, he must be your boyfriend, right?
Although Lin Hang wasn't as gossipy as the crazy old man, it was clear that he wanted to know the answer to this question.
Anning tossed the old-fashioned phone back to the crazy old man and replied casually, "Huh? Just an ordinary friend of mine."
If things hadn't gone so smoothly, he would be her junior now.
After understanding the whole story, Jiang Yu didn't dare to waste any time. He grabbed the large iron bar from his room and went downstairs, wearing only a bathrobe draped over his shoulders.
According to the location given by Anning, it would only take him a few minutes to get there, or even just two or three minutes if he was quick.
That would be best.
Finally, after rushing around, he arrived at the scene in just three minutes. Looking at the man who exuded an aura of "I am a thief," Jiang Yu picked up his iron rod and walked towards him without hesitation.
"Take this!"
