Chapter 42 Robbery



The garment factory urgently produced a batch of clothes and expedited their delivery to the factory manager who was out on business.

Through everyone's efforts, the garment factory successfully secured two orders from other regions, both of which were substantial amounts.

Upon hearing the news, the workers at the garment factory wept with joy. During their time working there, the factory manager and other leaders had treated them like family.

We share both good times and bad times, and finally, the hard times are over.

After the first batch of orders was shipped, we quickly received the deposit from the other party.

After paying the workers' wages, Qin Xianglian took the still-warm banknotes to Gu Mingyue.

"Thanks to Comrade Gu, otherwise the garment factory would not have been able to overcome this difficulty."

Qin Xianglian handed over another red envelope, saying, "This is a special subsidy from our factory director. Please make sure to accept it. If you have any good designs in the future, please remember us."

With such a talented person in the business, the garment factory is thriving.

Gu Mingyue touched the thick wad of cash, suppressing a smile, and said politely, "Not at all, it's what I should do."

The garment factory's orders are mainly for export, which does not affect the tailor shop's sales locally.

Even if it has an impact, it doesn't matter. Gu Mingyue has a lot of design materials from later generations in her mind. With a little modification, it can adapt to this era without any problem.

Since visiting the tailor shop once, Sun Qianqian has become a regular customer and has also become familiar with Gu Mingyue and the others.

We're all about the same age, so we get along really well.

After receiving her share of the profits, Gu Mingyue warmly invited everyone to have dinner at a state-run restaurant.

Lu Wanwan, Song Miaoyu, and Song Shijie all had to go to work, leaving only Sun Qianqian and Gu Mingyue to go to the restaurant together.

Grandma Wu is too old to join the children in the fun.

"Order whatever you want to eat later, it's on me."

After Sun Qianqian became familiar with Gu Mingyue, she learned that Gu Mingyue had done Lu Wanwan's makeover and begged Gu Mingyue to help her with the makeover as well.

At the tender age of youth, one always hopes to become more beautiful.

Gu Mingyue used the spiritual spring in her space to help her recuperate for a period of time.

The spiritual spring had little effect on Lu Lin, but it worked immediately on everyone else.

This made Gu Mingyue suspect that Lu Lin might have some kind of resistance system, which was why he couldn't even absorb something as good as a spiritual spring.

However, the effects of the spiritual spring were too obvious, so Gu Mingyue dared not use large doses. She would add a little bit to the snacks she made or the food she brought, which was enough to achieve the desired effect.

The two walked toward the restaurant, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them, spreading its arms to block their way.

The other person seemed to be targeting the two of them, standing there motionless, their entire face covered, only revealing a pair of fierce eyes.

Sun Qianqian couldn't help but take two steps back, not forgetting to pull Gu Mingyue back with her.

Gu Mingyue remained calm. She knew self-defense techniques and instead shielded Sun Qianqian behind her.

Sun Qianqian said in a trembling voice, "Sister Mingyue, this person isn't trying to rob us, is he?"

In broad daylight, with people around, the person whose face was covered clearly didn't seem like a good person, but there was no one else on the road they were on, and they had nowhere to turn for help.

Just as the two were slowly backing away, the person opposite them shouted sharply.

"Stop right there and hand over your money."

Sun Qianqian leaned closer to Gu Mingyue, "Sister Mingyue, is it really a robbery? What should we do?"

Gu Mingyue looked around. There were only the two of them in the entire alley. If the other party dared to rob her so openly, they might have a weapon.

If Sun Qianqian weren't here, she could have beaten the other person down.

But with more people involved comes more risk, and Gu Mingyue dared not gamble.

She hid her hands behind her back, and under cover, pulled out a handful of pebbles from her pocket and threw them at the man when he wasn't looking.

"Run!"

After throwing it, Gu Mingyue grabbed Sun Qianqian, who hadn't even reacted yet, and quickly ran in the opposite direction.

It would be easier for them to ask for help once they reached the main road.

At this moment, Gu Mingyue felt that this alley was incompatible with her destiny, and she always encountered strange things every time she walked through it.

It's unbelievable that someone would commit robbery when the city is a big place like Beijing, where public security is supposed to be quite good.

Sun Qianqian's legs were aching, and she was mechanically pulled along by Gu Mingyue.

Just as they reached the main road, Sun Qianqian slipped and fell forward uncontrollably.

Seeing her face about to hit the ground, she closed her eyes in fear.

A few seconds later, the expected pain did not come. She tentatively opened her eyes and found that her face was only two centimeters from the ground.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But because of this delay, the people behind us caught up.

"Don't run away, hand over all the money you have right now."

The man had a scar on his eyebrow and his eyes were full of greed. He had been staring at Qin Xiangping for several days and had just witnessed her handing a wad of cash to the man in front of him.

The man's smugness grew even stronger at the thought of using the money to live a carefree life.

These two girls are so delicate and frail. If he had the time, he could have made a fortune by taking them out.

He thought he was about to make a profit, but little did he know that he was about to be ruined by the little girl he looked down on.

The man held a dagger in his hand, and Gu Mingyue took out a wooden stick from her spatial storage for self-defense.

Sun Qianqian looked at the stick that appeared out of thin air with some confusion, but now was not the time to speak.

The man, thinking she was making a pointless struggle, smirked and raised the dagger in his hand, aiming it at the two of them.

"Qianqian, get out of the way."

Gu Mingyue told Sun Qianqian to hide aside while she faced the challenge alone.

Sun Qianqian closed her eyes in fear.

Gu Mingyue gripped the wooden stick tightly, her eyes filled with determination. "Bring it on, I'll show you what I'm made of."

Hearing the sounds of fighting, Sun Qianqian slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man who had been knocked down with surprise.

A burst of intense joy immediately followed, "Sister Mingyue, you're amazing!"

Sun Qianqian hadn't expected that Gu Mingyue, who looked so thin, would have such great abilities; she had underestimated her.

Gu Mingyue didn't like practicing self-defense techniques like martial arts before, but as more and more abnormal people appeared, she felt that she should ensure her own safety without harming others.

That's why they specifically hired a teacher to teach them some self-defense skills.

After practicing for a long time and mastering some of the tricks, I also took the professional certification exam.

This man looked strong, but he didn't actually have any real skills. Gu Mingyue knocked him down with a blow from each side.

"Qianqian, go report to the police. I'll stay here and watch over him."

Anyone who dares to rob in broad daylight should be sent directly for re-education.

Sun Qianqian quickly agreed, told her to be careful, and then ran quickly toward the police station, not daring to stop for a moment along the way.

When the police arrived, the previously arrogant man was now cowering in a corner, covering his bruised and swollen face.

The woman standing opposite him tapped the stick in her hand lightly.

This starkly contrasting scene left the police officers speechless.
