Chapter 33: Committing a crime against the wind
Faced with Professor Ren's reminder, Xia Lili looked a little embarrassed.
"Professor, I'm also worried that you might bump into something while walking at night."
Xia Lili said in a humble and shameless tone: "This time, could you please be kind and let me follow you?"
She started to play the victim: "I just started my internship. If anything goes wrong, I'm doomed! My boss is so mean and has a sour face every day. He can make people cry with just a few words!"
"I really have no way to follow the leader's orders!"
The situation was urgent, and Xia Lili was in constant communication with Han Rui from the Tieguan Island Police Station.
When Han Rui heard Xia Lili's words, the legendary Li Qihan, Captain Li, who had met with him half an hour ago, suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was wondering whether he should remind Xia Lili now, because the matter was of great importance and people from both bureaus were watching.
Xia Lili's current conversation with him could be heard by both the Tieguan Island Police Station and the General Administration's command room...
Forget it. This little girl is under so much pressure now, and she has already said it. It is useless to remind her now, and it will affect her mentality.
Besides, a person like Li Qiuhan would not be so petty as to hold a grudge because of these few words!
All Han Rui can do now is to urge his subordinates to get to their positions as soon as possible.
Xia Lili was still racking her brains trying to get Professor Ren to cooperate. She said, "Let's make a bet. If nothing happens today, I will never restrict your movements again."
Xia Lili took advantage of a loophole. She wouldn't follow, but that doesn't mean the police wouldn't follow.
Faced with Xia Lili's humility and the embarrassed expression on her face, Professor Ren softened his heart.
Judging from her young age, this girl is probably a rookie who just came to the police station for internship. She is following me because of the orders of her superiors and must obey. If she fails to complete the task well, she will be punished and her future will be affected.
"Okay, just follow me this time."
Professor Ren sighed and walked forward with big strides, just wanting to get home quickly and get rid of this annoying little tail.
Seeing Professor Ren's relenting attitude, Xia Lili's face lit up immediately. "Thank you for your understanding, Professor! Thank you very much!"
The strong flashlight made everything within two meters ahead visible, turning the night into day.
Xia Lili thought that in such a bright place, the three teenage thugs would definitely be cautious and would not come over!
However, she had just walked less than a hundred meters with Ren Wenxuan.
Three figures appeared within the flashlight's illumination range.
Xia Lili's heart suddenly sank.
The three men were walking towards them with arrogant steps and domineering attitudes.
The one in the front had a dazzling blond hair and a cigarette dangling from his lips;
In the middle was a short, stocky fellow, his sleeves rolled up, revealing his massive arms;
The one at the back was wearing a black mask and had a hideous scar across his left eyebrow. His pockets were bulging, and the outline of a knife could be vaguely seen.
They were only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they deliberately imitated the gangsters in the movies, walking crookedly, with contempt and malice in their eyes.
"Hey, you're using such a bright flashlight at night, are you afraid that others can't see you?"
The golden retriever grinned, revealing his jagged teeth.
The short, stocky young man put his hands in his pockets, looked Professor Ren and Xia Lili up and down, and sneered, "You're dressed so well, you must be quite rich, right?"
"Hey guys, we're out of money for internet, can you lend me some money?"
Professor Ren froze in place, his face pale.
The impact of this scene directly shattered his thick filter for the children of his hometown.
He didn't expect that the gangster Xia Lili mentioned was actually so young and so vicious.
Professor Ren looked at the scar on the brow of the boy wearing a black mask.
He was shocked. He actually felt that this young man with a scar on his brow looked familiar.
His foundation once donated money to a seriously ill single mother. At that time, a young boy with a scar on his brow bone stood beside the bed, lowering his head and serving water and medicine to the mother, acting like a model son.
Although Ren Wenxuan was not present at the event due to his busy work, he had seen the video sent by the foundation's secretary and still remembered the young man in the video vividly.
Hearing that the scar on the boy's brow was caused by a fight, Ren Wenxuan thought someone had bullied him and asked the foundation to take good care of the child.
Unexpectedly, the child actually extended his evil claws to him!
"You...you are Xu Zhe?" Professor Ren pointed at the young man with a trembling voice.
"Your mother is so seriously ill, and the foundation gave him a lot of money! How could you come out and rob..."
"Shut up!"
The young man named "Xu Zhe" was recognized by the strange uncle in front of him. He suddenly became furious, and his face twisted under the mask, "Don't mention that old woman! You donated so much money, and she wouldn't even give me a hundred yuan!"
Professor Ren staggered back a step as if struck by lightning.
He couldn't believe that the child who was so meek and timid in the ward would now say such words.
Xia Lili heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly said, "He is Ren Wenxuan, the national treasure-level professor who funded your family! If he is harmed, the chip industry will suffer heavy losses!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Xu Zhe shrugged and narrowed his eyes: "A national treasure-level professor should be very rich, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jinmao interrupted impatiently. He walked quickly towards Ren Wenxuan, "Old man, hand over the money!"
Xia Lili shouted angrily, "What are you doing? The police will be here soon!"
The boys were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Xu Zhe took out a folding knife from his pocket, and it opened with a "click". The cold light was particularly dazzling in the night.
The golden retriever laughed playfully, with an unbridled smile on his face: "Do you think we will be afraid?"
"We're just borrowing some money to spend."
"We are minors, at most we will be criticized and educated, it's not against the law!"
Xia Lili only regretted that she had come in such a hurry and did not bring any cash, and now she had to use her phone to contact the police.
"Professor Ren, do you have cash? Give it to them!"
Ren Wenxuan took out five hundred yuan in cash from his briefcase and put it on the ground.
Xia Lili hurriedly said, "I'll give you the money, just don't hurt him."
The yellow-haired boy stared at the five hundred yuan on the ground: "That's all? Give us the bag too! We want both yours and his cell phone!"
He rushed over and tried to grab Ren Wenxuan's bag.
None of the three could believe that they only had so little money.
While they were talking, Xia Lili had already rushed to Professor Ren. She lit a smoke bomb firework with a lighter, threw it in front of the three people, and then quickly pulled Professor Ren back.
Xia Lili felt a chill in her heart, her feet were running fast, and she pulled Ren Wenxuan and ran madly.
These fearless thugs are as scary as crazy wanted criminals!
Professor Ren is old after all, and his physical strength is not as good as Xia Lili, who works part-time and has brute force. In a hurry, there was only a "click" sound, and Professor Ren's briefcase fell to the ground while he was running away!
