Chapter 34 He seems quite reliable
Professor Ren values the information in his briefcase more than his own life.
Seeing this, he had to stop and bend down to pick it up.
Xia Lili was anxious and took out the self-defense spray.
Seeing that the three golden-haired men were about to catch up with them with knives in hand.
The shrill sound of sirens suddenly pierced the night sky, and the red and blue police lights illuminated the entire alley like daylight!
Before the three thugs could react, several strong lights had already covered them like an iron cage.
They squinted their eyes and suddenly their legs and feet went weak——
Seven or eight police cars were blocking the intersection ahead, and fully armed special police surrounded them with guns, the black muzzles of their guns gleaming coldly under the light.
The first time he saw rows of real guns, the intimidation was so great that the young thugs who usually imitated action movies turned pale with fear.
"I, we just want to borrow some money..." Jinmao's voice suddenly wilted, and the cigarette butt in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
The short and stocky boy hurriedly raised his hands: "Uncle Police! We are not even sixteen yet!"
He tried his best to force out a smile that was uglier than crying. "The law, the law says you can't arrest us..."
The folding knife in the scarred boy's hand had been thrown into some corner long ago. His face under the mask was as pale as paper, and his legs were shaking like sieves.
Station Chief Han of the Tieguan Island Police Station strode over and first confirmed that Professor Ren was safe and sound before turning to look at the three pale-faced teenagers.
His eyes were sharp as knives, but a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. "Can't arrest? You've studied the Minors Protection Act quite thoroughly, haven't you?"
He suddenly took out his cell phone and pressed the play button - the arrogant remarks made by the three men threatening with knives just now came clearly from the loudspeaker.
"According to Article 17 of the Criminal Law."
Stationmaster Han said word by word, "Anyone over the age of fourteen who commits armed robbery will still be held criminally responsible."
Seeing the three people collapse instantly, he turned to the police and ordered: "Take them back to the station first and notify their guardians."
"By the way, teach these little bastards a lesson on how to behave!"
The young men collapsed to the ground, their previous arrogance completely gone.
The red light from the police car's roof lights reflected on their faces, leaving only immaturity and confusion on their faces.
At the same time, two medical staff rushed over to check if Ren Wenxuan and Xia Lili were injured.
"I'm fine."
Xia Lili shook her head and said, "Please check on Professor Ren. We were in such a hurry just now."
Professor Ren had already picked up the briefcase and held it tightly in his arms, staring at the police car in a daze.
The three robbers were handcuffed and escorted into the car.
Xia Lili breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the three little bastards being taken into the police car.
The police arrived just in time!
If Li Qihan didn't believe her or there were other obstacles, causing the people from Tieguan Island Police Station to arrive a step late, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With such a big event and so many people mobilized, Li Qiuhan must have put in a lot of effort.
Xia Lili has a new understanding of Li Qiuhan, the cold-faced devil.
Although this person is cold, he seems quite reliable?
After the station chief, Han Rui, had arranged everything, he strode up to Xia Lili and saluted her solemnly: "Comrade Informant, this time it's really thanks to you."
"If anything were to happen to Professor Ren, none of us at the station would be able to bear the consequences."
Han Rui felt a little scared.
If Professor Ren were to face these three naughty little bastards alone...
Being too rigid can easily lead to failure. Given Professor Ren's upright and awe-inspiring character, I can't imagine what will happen.
Xia Lili smiled shyly: "You guys came just in time."
Hearing Xia Lili say this, Han Rui smiled bitterly: "How dare we not be timely."
"Captain Li from the General Administration is like a death warrant."
"Instructed us to ensure the safety of our informant and Professor Ren."
"Then again, the intelligence you provided was truly accurate. No wonder Captain Li values you so highly."
Stationmaster Han's words, "No wonder Captain Li values you so much," left Xia Lili confused.
She found it incredible: "He? Values me?"
Xia Lili felt that Li Qihan was like a strong Maine Coon cat, and she was the mouse being targeted by him. She was pounced on by his claws from time to time and could only tremble in fear.
Seeing that the girl was still confused, Station Master Han explained, "It's impossible to request the activation of an emergency response plan without any basis."
"Captain Li and the General Administration promised that if there were any errors in the intelligence, he would take full responsibility."
Xia Lili's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, her eyes filled with surprise.
She remembered saying this when she and Li Qihan called the police.
Xia Lili felt mixed emotions when she learned that Li Qihan was the one willing to take all the responsibility.
"Although I don't know the source of your information, Captain Li has protected you very well."
Stationmaster Han asked someone to bring blankets and hot milk to Xia Lili and Professor Ren.
"Comrade informant, you've worked hard today. Go back and have a good rest."
Xia Lili nodded gently, her thoughts wandering, and Li Qihan's cold and unkind eyes kept appearing in her mind.
After a while, Xia Lili's wandering gaze fell on a lost figure next to the police car.
Xia Lili and Professor Ren looked at each other, and she saw the loneliness in Professor Ren's eyes.
Apart from this, no more hallucinations appeared before my eyes.
The heavy stone in Xia Lili's heart fell.
At this time, Professor Ren stood up tremblingly and walked to Xia Lili.
"sorry."
Ren Wenxuan said solemnly, his expression filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, I was too stubborn and caused you so much trouble."
Xia Lili looked at Professor Ren and simply shook her head. "Before a disaster actually strikes, it's hard for us to believe it could happen to us."
Professor Ren sighed and said, "Little girl, if it weren't for you today, given the wickedness of these three children, I might have really met with an accident."
He looked out at the waves crashing against the rocks in the distance, just as he remembered.
But some things can never be returned.
"Maybe... I've been away for too long." Professor Ren finally sighed, with a look of loss that was hard to conceal in his voice.
Professor Ren looked at the three teenagers being escorted into the police car with a dark look in his eyes.
The night wind ruffled his gray hair, and the look behind the glasses was both heartbroken and confused.
"They are afraid of sirens and handcuffs, not conscience and the law."
Professor Ren whispered, his voice filled with deep fatigue, "These children... they are clearly the children of our friends, yet I feel like they are strangers to me."
Xia Lili gently patted his trembling shoulders and said softly, "Professor, look at that peach tree—"
She pointed to an old tree at the entrance of the alley that had been beaten by the sea wind but still blossomed. "Same soil, some branches bear sweet fruit, while others grow sharp thorns."
"It's not the gardener's fault."
