Hearing the pickpocket's phone ringing incessantly, Chang Jing finally gave in and reluctantly bent down to pick up the phone and answer it.
"Hello? Who is this...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Chang Jing heard an arrogant and irritable voice coming from the microphone.
"Did you steal my phone? You'd better give it back right now, or I'll have my dad arrest you and put you in jail for life..."
My throat was dry! I hung up the phone immediately, and less than a minute later, the same call came in, with the same insistence.
"You can pick up your phone at the police station later."
Chang Jing answered the call hesitantly, then quickly hung up after saying just one sentence. He really didn't want to hear that tyrannical, mother-of-pearl-like cursing anymore.
The police arrived quickly. Tangyuan, who had called the police, briefly explained what had happened, and Chang Jing handed over the unknown phone he was holding.
"Gentlemen, you need to come with me to the police station to give a detailed statement. Please come with us!"
"this……"
Tangyuan, the person involved, was in a dilemma. He was a teenager, and his courage to call the police was thanks to the good compulsory education he received. He was told to call the police when there was trouble, but he was a little timid and scared to go to the police station to make a statement.
"It's alright, don't worry. Just explain the situation as you did before, and then sign to confirm."
The police noticed Tangyuan's unease and immediately tried to reassure her. Liang Yi, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant. His father was an undercover police officer, so taking a statement was no big deal for him.
"Ah Jing, Tang Yuan, let's go. I'll have my dad come pick us up in a bit."
When they arrived at the police station, Liang Yi's family connections became apparent. The station chief was a good friend of his father, and Liang Yi obediently called him "Uncle Cai," before vividly recounting the events.
After Tangyuan and Changjing finished giving their statements, Liang Yi had already arrived and was waiting for them with three bottles of soda.
"Jing, do you know what? The phone call you just answered was from that little vixen from Uncle Bai's family. She'll probably be here in a minute."
Liang Yi looked utterly unlucky. It seemed that the girl's temper was not something an ordinary person could tolerate. Perhaps fearing that Chang Jing would be picked apart by Bai Mei, Liang Yi selectively mentioned some of Bai Mei's identity and her spoiled nature.
"Bai Mei is Uncle Bai's daughter. Uncle Bai's wife works in real estate. The Junchi Plaza in our county was developed by Bai Mei's mother's company."
Their family is extremely wealthy and dotes on Bai Mei. From a young age, she was spoiled rotten, so Bai Mei has a very domineering personality.
If she starts bothering you later, don't argue with her or give her too much of a response, otherwise she'll keep bothering you.
In Liang Yi's memory, Bai Mei wasn't a bad person, but she was too difficult to deal with. She had a domineering and awkward personality and was also a seasoned looks-obsessed person. Hopefully, A Jing's handsome appearance wouldn't be in Bai Mei's aesthetic range!
Why are you staring at me like that? Your gaze is creepy.
Seeing Liang Yi's sympathetic yet slightly amused gaze, even Chang Jing, who was known for his composure and calmness, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Fine, you dare to speak ill of me, Mr. Liang? I'll tell Uncle Liang on you in a bit."
An aggressive voice came from behind, belonging to a beautiful girl wearing a British-style school uniform skirt.
"You're the one who just hung up on me...? What's your name, young man? I'm Bai Mei."
Halfway through her sentence, Bai Mei's voice abruptly softened, as if she had seen Chang Jing's face and lost her sharp edge.
"Hey bro, want some soda? Are you a classmate surnamed Liang?"
Bai Mei saw two bottles of soda on the table, picked them up, and handed one to Chang Jing, her gesture of offering one to another perfectly natural.
"Why aren't you saying anything, little brother? Actually, I'm not as spoiled as that guy surnamed Liang said. I'm a very reasonable person too. If you don't believe me, ask Liang Yi."
Seeing that Chang Jing remained silent, Bai Mei grew anxious and began to explain, secretly making a mental note of Liang Yi's actions, but smiling at Liang Yi on the surface.
Hmph, if that little brother ignores me, I'll make Uncle Liang punish that guy by making him run 10,000 meters every day until I'm satisfied.
"Yes, Bai Mei is definitely reasonable with you."
Ha, what a load of nonsense. She only tries to reason with people whose looks match her aesthetic standards, and she only has patience with pretty or handsome people.
"I am Chang Jing, Liang Yi's classmate."
Seeing Bai Mei's persistence in asking for his name, Chang Jing finally spoke up. At the same time, he realized that Bai Mei wasn't a bad person at heart, so he was willing to talk to her.
"Brother Chang Jing, it's nice to meet you. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? How about I treat you to dinner?"
If I could have dinner with Chang Jing, bringing Liang Yi along as a third wheel wouldn't be a bad idea. Ah! Chang Jing is so handsome, with those captivating eyes just like Leon Lai's, absolutely mesmerizing.
"Thank you for your kindness, Bai, but there's no need for you to treat me to dinner. My family is waiting for me to come home for dinner."
Having traveled through so many time periods and witnessed countless schemes played by female protagonists and supporting characters, Chang Jing has developed a considerable psychological trauma. Now, he doesn't want to get too close to women.
Upon hearing the refusal, the starlight in Bai Mei's eyes dimmed. She pouted, wanting to throw a tantrum but afraid of making Chang Jing dislike her. She turned her body and stared fiercely at Liang Yi, conveying the message that she would bite him if he didn't speak up for her.
"Ah... Ah Jing, how about... how about you call back and tell Auntie that we should eat out!"
Liang Yi had no choice but to speak up and persuade her. He could apologize for offending his brother, but he was afraid that if he offended this shameless little vixen, he would be sent to her as a toy by his own father.
The thought of this possibility made Liang Yi's eyes unconsciously reveal a pleading look, which made Chang Jing's face twitch slightly and his hands itch.
