"Pfft—" The robber was hit in the face with an elbow, and his face went numb with pain.
His hand was suddenly twisted in the opposite direction, and the pain in his joint forced him to let go.
"Ahhh—"
"Thud—" The knife fell to the ground.
Yuan Mengge twisted his hand and spun him around, twisting one of his arms behind his back and pressing down on his shoulder.
"Don't move! If you move again, you'll lose this arm." With that, she twisted the other person's arm backward.
"Ah—stop!" The robber screamed in pain as he was being twisted.
Yuan Mengge took off his shirt, then tied his hands behind his back, dragged him to pick up the woman's bag, and hung it on the car.
She grabbed the robber with one hand and pushed her bicycle out of the alley with the other.
“Behave yourself, do you think you can still escape?” Yuan Mengge said, looking at the struggling robber.
When she dragged the robber to the alley entrance, she walked back the way she came.
They planned to hand the robber over to the woman whose bag he had snatched to deal with.
Just then, a man suddenly ran up in front of them.
The man and Yuan Mengge exchanged a glance, both showing surprise.
Yuan Mengge: "Huh?"
Isn't that Old Ma from the police station in her town? What's he doing in the county town?
Man: "Huh? It's you? Could this person... be the robber from earlier?"
Yuan Mengge nodded and said, "Now that you're here, I'll leave it to you to handle."
As she spoke, she pushed the robber in front of Old Ma.
Old Ma took out the handcuffs he always carried and cuffed the robber, then looked at her and said, "I didn't expect you to be the one who caught him. I thought this kid would get away."
Yuan Mengge handed him the woman's handbag hanging on the front of the car: "This is the bag he just snatched."
Old Ma, escorting the prisoner, looked at Yuan Mengge and asked, "Did you come to the county town for fun?"
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Yes, that's right, we're here to have fun."
Old Ma looked at her and suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?"
Yuan Mengge looked at him blankly and replied, "Oh, I've already eaten."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Old Ma's eyes before he said, "Alright, then I'll hand this guy over to the police station first. Do you want to come with me? You're the one who caught him, you're a hero."
Yuan Mengge shook her head and said, "No, I have something to do this afternoon, I have to go back first."
She didn't really want to go to the police station, as it would probably take up some more time.
Old Ma said, "Really not going? If you go to the police station, they can give you a certificate of merit for your act of bravery, which can be recorded in your student file and will be useful for your high school and college entrance exams later."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge stopped in her tracks, which was about to turn and leave.
Oh right! She had forgotten about that!
Seeing her stop, Old Ma was overjoyed and immediately said, "This is a good thing. Others may not have this opportunity."
Yuan Mengge thought for a moment and immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll go!"
After all, she already has the dark history left by Yuan Pingping, so she needs to offset it with something else.
"That's right, listen to your uncle, he will never harm you." Old Ma smiled when he saw that she had agreed.
"I...my bag...huff huff huff..." Just then, the owner of the stolen bag finally arrived, panting heavily.
Seeing that Lao Ma had caught the person who had snatched her bag, she immediately looked happy and ran over to thank him, saying, "Thank you! Thank you so much! I didn't have much money in my bag, but I have a very important photo that I can't lose."
Old Ma handed her the bag and said, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank this student. She's the one who caught the person for you. It wasn't me."
As she spoke, she pointed to Yuan Mengge standing next to her.
When the woman took her bag, she was taken aback by his words, turned to look at Yuan Mengge, and then said with a surprised expression, "Really?"
Old Ma nodded: "When I caught up, he was already far away. If it weren't for this little girl, he would have disappeared long ago. You should thank her."
The woman first sized up Yuan Mengge a few times before asking her curiously, "Are you a junior high school student? Or a high school student? What's your name, and which school do you attend?"
Yuan Mengge replied, "I'm in my third year of junior high school, at Heshui Town Middle School. My name is Yuan Pingping."
The woman smiled and said, "Thank you so much! Have you eaten? Let me treat you to a meal! I need to thank you for catching him."
Yuan Mengge said, "I've already eaten. Why don't you buy me a bottle of water, then I don't need to eat."
The woman said, "How can that be! You've done me such a big favor, a bottle of water isn't enough to thank you! But wait a moment..."
As she spoke, she turned around and went to the convenience store next door, where she bought two bottles of drinks.
Then he handed it to Yuan Mengge and Lao Ma, saying, "Here, have some water first. You must be thirsty chasing him! By the way, could you help me take him to the police station?"
Old Ma said, "Of course, I am a policeman, and I am here to take him to the police station. Let's go, let's go now."
Afterwards, Lao Ma and the victim took the robber to the nearby police station to report the crime and explained the situation.
When the police officers who received the report heard that the criminal was the youngest of the three, they all looked at Yuan Mengge in surprise.
"You caught him? You're amazing! How did you catch him?" the police officer who received the report asked Yuan Mengge curiously.
Yuan Mengge said, "When he ran out of the alley with the bag, he bumped into my car. Then I saw that he was trying to run away in a hurry, and I heard someone shouting in the alley, 'Catch the robber!' So I chased after him on my bicycle."
She briefly described what happened next.
When they heard her say that she had single-handedly knocked the knife out of the other man's hand and subdued him in the alley, the police officers at the police station were all astonished.
He then asked the robber, "Really?"
The robber nodded speechlessly, never expecting to be taken advantage of by a junior high school student.
He added, "She seems to know martial arts! When I tried to slash her with my knife, she grabbed my hand holding the knife and then hit my face with the tip of her elbow. It hurt so much!"
Old Ma also said, "She's from our town. The month before last, they caught a thief who stole her bicycle. Witnesses said she's really good at fighting; she beat the thief to the ground in no time."
Then he looked at the prisoner and smiled, "You've met a good man today, you're really lucky."
Of course, everyone present could tell that he was being sarcastic.
Prisoner: "..."
The woman whose wallet was snatched laughed and said, "I'm so lucky today. I'm so glad I met this little girl. It doesn't matter if the money in my bag is gone, but I can't lose the last photo my mother left behind."
