Chapter 14 A Village Girl in the 1970s
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the alley next door and chased after the person in front.
The figure moved incredibly fast, like a green lightning bolt, and in an instant, pinned the person to the ground.
Yao Yunzhen and Yu Wen quickly caught up with them.
Upon seeing Yu Feng, Yao Yunzhen was so angry that she immediately reached out and twisted his ear.
"Hmph, hmph, you brat, why are you chasing after them? They've run away, so what? What if they have accomplices?"
Upon hearing this clear and melodious voice, Xie Jingyue subconsciously looked up and was immediately stunned.
It was her! The girl who ate at the state-run restaurant yesterday.
Xie Jingyue happened to be running errands nearby today. Just as he finished, he heard someone shouting that someone was robbing someone. As a soldier, he rushed out without thinking, only to find that the person who needed help was the girl from yesterday.
They are so destined to be together.
Xie Jingyue's heart started racing again, and a strange feeling began to grow in his heart.
It made him feel unfamiliar and somewhat at a loss.
Xie Jingyue only came to his senses when the person he was restraining felt the pressure lessen and struggled to get up.
He quickly looked away, not daring to look anymore, and pressed the person firmly to the ground again.
Unfazed by the ear-pulling, Yu Feng chuckled and asked with concern, "Cousin, quickly check if you still have any money in your pocket."
"Don't do that again next time."
Yao Yunzhen gave another warning before reaching into her pocket to feel around.
Everything was there, except for the face mask.
Yao Yunzhen laughed in anger and cursed, "Are you crazy?! You're not robbing money, you're robbing people's masks."
Her ears are still a little sore because her mask was violently ripped off.
Without a doubt, his ears must have turned bright red.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingyue couldn't help but look at Yao Yunzhen's ear.
It's bright red; it must hurt a lot.
Xie Jingyue felt a little uncomfortable and wished that the red stain would disappear immediately. He had even less patience for the struggling thief.
"Behave yourself."
The man being held down refused to lie: "Let me go! I didn't do anything, why are you arresting me?"
Yao Yunzhen then turned her attention to the two of them.
She looked first at the person who had kindly offered to help.
When Yao Yunzhen saw his face clearly, her eyes lit up.
This was an extremely handsome man, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a commanding presence.
Wearing a military green uniform, the strong lines of his clothes accentuated his broad shoulders and muscular waist. His arm muscles bulged as he gripped the ground, giving him a strong masculine aura.
The man he pinned to the ground was a skinny guy with shifty eyes. His eyes darted around, and he kept protesting his innocence. He didn't look honest at all.
Perhaps because of him, Yao Yunzhen's ears were pulled by the mask strap, so she found everything about him displeasing and repulsive.
"Thank you, comrade. Thanks to your help, otherwise this person would have gotten away."
Xie Jingyue avoided Yao Yunzhen's gaze, pursed his lips, and said calmly, "This is what I should do."
He lifted the man up: "This guy is dishonest. I'll take him to the police station for you."
Yao Yunzhen was overjoyed: "Then thank you very much."
This is a grown man who runs fast. With their small statures, they might not be able to subdue him.
If he manages to break free, there's definitely no way to catch him again.
but……
"If he didn't steal anything, what's the point of sending him to the police station?"
"Yes, I didn't steal anything, let me go..."
The man was still shouting, but he fell silent the moment he saw Yao Yunzhen's face.
In that instant, he seemed to regain his sense of shame; his eyes darted away, and his face was full of embarrassment.
He lowered his head, stopped struggling, and obediently let Xie Jingyue take him away.
Yao Yunzhen covered her face with her hands, lowered her head slightly, and followed behind Xie Jingyue.
At that moment, she unexpectedly thought of her fiancé, whom she had never met and whose name she did not even know.
I heard he joined the army. I just hope he does well in the army and can become her support.
At least it will mean she won't have to wear a mask when she goes out anymore.
She was really tired of this life of hiding and concealing herself; wearing a mask was stuffy and uncomfortable.
...
In a nearby alley, Yao Meimei and a man were hiding, watching the group leave.
Looking at the man who was still staring intently at Yao Yunzhen's back, Yao Meimei's face flashed with disgust.
"See? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
This man is the son of the director of the Revolutionary Committee, named Lu Yikang.
Despite his father being the director of the Revolutionary Committee, he himself was a scoundrel who secretly ran a business and wielded considerable influence in the black market.
She saw him while wandering around the black market yesterday, and it suddenly reminded her of her past life.
In her previous life, after Yao Yunzhen started working in the county, Lu Yikang also harassed her. Later, because many people were exonerated, his father's framing of Zhongliang was exposed, and he fell from power.
He was also imprisoned because of the many evil deeds he had committed, which made it impossible for him to continue harassing Yao Yunzhen.
However, that was several years later, and the Lu family still wielded considerable power.
Yao Meimei thought of herself; as a weak woman, if she wanted to do business on the black market, it would be best to find someone to protect her.
Almost instantly, Yao Meimei thought of pushing Yao Yunzhen out in exchange for Lu Yikang's protection.
Since Lu Yikang was attracted to Yao Yunzhen in his past life, he should be able to do so again in this life.
What she had to do was let Lu Yikang see Yao Yunzhen's face.
Yao Meimei immediately went to Lu Yikang and vigorously promoted Yao Yunzhen.
Lu Yikang finally decided to meet her, but Yao Yunzhen refused to go out with him.
Left with no other choice, she turned back to find Lu Yikang.
At the risk of being beaten, she finally succeeded in arousing Lu Yikang's curiosity and getting him to agree to cooperate with her.
Yao Meimei also knew that hearing is unreliable and seeing is believing.
So the first thing he had to do was to let Lu Yikang see Yao Yunzhen's true face.
He would never give up on Yao Yunzhen if he had seen her even once.
Lu Yikang was just looking for some fun to pass the time, but who knew he would actually see such a heavenly beauty.
After seeing Yao Yunzhen, he was stunned for a long time. He didn't even react when his men were captured. His mind was only on the beautiful woman.
He watched the beautiful figure walk further and further away, his mouth practically watering.
Yao Meimei raised her voice: "Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, hehe, satisfied."
"Tell me more about her situation."
Yao Meimei took a deep breath, "Zhenzhen..."
"Hehe, her name is Zhenzhen, it's a really nice name."
Lu Yikang, lost in thought, started chuckling to himself again.
Looking at Lu Yikang's appearance, Yao Meimei suddenly felt a little uneasy for some reason.
During those probing attempts, she didn't dare to look at Yao Yunzhen, but instead deliberately looked elsewhere.
