Chapter 77 A Near Miss
After hearing what Captain Fang said, Yang Mian's eyes first flashed with surprise, and then the surprise gradually turned into enlightenment.
She was about to respond, but Huo Yanshen beside her suddenly took the lead like a lit firecracker.
Huo Yanshen's brows were tightly knitted together, like two small hills. His tone was full of undisguised displeasure, and he said directly to Captain Fang: "She has been very busy with her studies recently and has no time to keep the appointment."
As he spoke, he unconsciously moved in front of Yang Mian. He looked as if Captain Fang was some kind of monster and he was afraid that Yang Mian would be robbed of even a little bit.
Captain Fang was slightly startled by Huo Yanshen's sudden action. He looked up at Huo Yanshen's anxious look like he was protecting his child, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.
Are these two people in love? ? The last time they caught that criminal, they were together.
Thinking of Yang Mian's life-saving grace, he still suppressed his smile and patiently explained, "I know the importance of Yang Mian's studies. I won't take up too much of her time, just the time it takes to have a meal."
After saying this, he turned his gaze toward Yang Mian again, his eyes full of sincerity.
How can I not be sincere? Yang Mian was the one who saved his life.
Yang Mian noticed the jealousy emanating from Huo Yanshen, and felt both angry and amused. She turned slightly to the side and gently pulled the corner of Huo Yanshen's clothes, as if she was comforting a furry kitten, signaling him not to be so impulsive.
Then, with a gentle smile on her face, she looked at Captain Fang and said in a gentle voice, "Captain Fang, you are so polite. I gave you the amulet because you helped me before. You don't need it for dinner. I really appreciate your kindness."
Yang Mian knew clearly in her mind that if she really agreed to Captain Fang's dinner invitation, Huo Yanshen would be jealous for who knows how long. She didn't want her boyfriend to be unhappy because of this.
Seeing Yang Mian's firm attitude, Captain Fang decided not to force him any further.
However, he still said seriously: "Okay, classmate Yang Mian, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, no matter whether it is a big thing or a small thing, please don't hesitate to contact me, and I will do my best to help."
As he spoke, he swiftly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Mian with both hands.
Captain Fang's name, position and contact information are clearly printed on the business card, and under the light, it exudes an air of reliability.
Huo Yanshen stood aside, his eyes fixed on the action of Captain Fang handing over the business card. The jealousy in his heart was rising up like a boiling kettle, emitting hot steam.
But he couldn't lose his temper in front of Yang Mian and Captain Fang, so he could only grit his teeth in secret.
Upon seeing this, Yang Mian quickly reached out to take the business card, with a polite smile on his face, and thanked sincerely.
"Thank you, Captain Fang."
When Father Lu saw Captain Fang, he nodded slightly, with a hint of respect on his face, and said, "Captain Fang, thank you for your hard work."
He and Captain Fang are acquainted with each other.
Captain Fang straightened up quickly, showing a professional smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. Fighting crime and maintaining social order is our unshirkable duty as a police officer. And to be honest, Yang Mian helped a lot in solving the case so smoothly this time. If she hadn't keenly grasped some key clues in advance, we might have had to go through a lot more trouble and take many detours on this case."
After hearing what Captain Fang said, Father Lu's eyes flashed with obvious appreciation. He turned his gaze to Yang Mian, his eyes full of gratitude and appreciation, and said, "Yang Mian, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, Wanqing would have to endure countless unimaginable hardships. If you need any help in the future, don't be polite to the Lu family, just ask, the Lu family will definitely not refuse."
When Yang Mian heard what Father Lu said, he waved his hands and said, "Uncle Lu, please don't say that. Wanqing is a very good girl, kind and innocent. How can I watch her get into trouble?"
As he was speaking, Lu Wanqing slowly walked over with the support of Xiao Yangshuo.
Her face was still a little pale, as if all the blood had been drained away, but her mental state was much better than before.
There was a hint of weakness in her eyes, but more of it was relief at surviving the disaster.
When she saw Yang Mian, her eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes. She took a few steps forward, tightly held Yang Mian's hand, and said with a choked voice: "Yang Mian, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I... I can't imagine what would have happened."
Although Lu Wanqing is lively and has had many boyfriends, she has never done anything that crossed the line with them.
She was forced five years ago.
Yang Mian felt the warmth of Lu Wanqing's palm, patted her hand gently, and comforted her softly: "Wanqing, don't say these anymore, it's good that you are okay, how do you feel now?"
Lu Wanqing nodded slightly, her voice still a little weak, and said: "I'm much better now. My family doctor said that if I rest well for a while, I will be able to recover completely."
Recalling the thrilling experience just now, Lu Wanqing still feels a lingering fear.
While Yang Mian and the others were dealing with the matter, Xiao Yangshuo was extremely anxious and immediately took Lu Wanqing to see the family doctor.
After careful examination and treatment by the family doctor, Lu Wanqing's condition gradually stabilized.
After hearing this, Yang Mian smiled with relief and said, "That's good. You can have a good rest first. We are also ready to go back."
Lu Yuxing’s birthday party could no longer continue.
Father Lu looked at Yang Mian and Lu Wanqing, his heart filled with emotion.
He nodded, turned to face the guests who had not yet completely dispersed in the banquet hall, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, I am very sorry that such an unpleasant thing happened at this banquet today. Please leave first. I have some follow-up matters to deal with here."
The guests nodded in understanding, discussing what had happened today in low voices, and slowly walked out of the banquet hall.
Everybody left.
