When Xiang Pengfei came out of the movie theater, he knew that Lin Dongzhe and Feng Yaoyao had gone to the right, so he didn't need to worry about that side. However, Zhuang Tunan had gone to the left. Since he was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving around, Xiang Pengfei thought about going to the left.
Unexpectedly, after walking only a few steps, they saw a large truck coming from the opposite direction, its lights shining brightly. In no time, it drove up to the cinema and braked suddenly. Liu Wu got out of the truck, carrying a bag in his hand.
As soon as Liu Wu got out of the car, he turned around to walk forward, but when he looked up, he saw Xiang Pengfei. He panicked, quickly turned around, got back into the car, and sped forward as soon as the car started moving.
When Xiang Pengfei saw Liu Wu's flustered appearance, he immediately thought of the way Liu Wu and Hao Liu bumped into his aunt. Xiang Pengfei felt a sudden panic in his heart, fearing that Zhuang Tunan might have caused some misfortune on the road.
Thinking of this, Xiang Pengfei strode forward, running faster and faster, taking bigger and bigger strides, as if leaping two meters and then taking five steps at a time, running incredibly fast.
He moved quickly, and soon he could vaguely see a figure ahead. He walked a few more steps and finally arrived. He saw Zhuang Tunan holding his legs with both hands, in pain and covered in sweat. Xiang Pengfei squatted down and said to Zhuang Tunan, "Brother Tunan, Brother Tunan, how are your legs? How are they?"
Zhuang Tunan groaned and said, "Oh no, oh no! That car grazed my leg, I'm afraid my leg is broken again!"
Xiang Pengfei looked up and asked Anna, "What's going on?"
Anna explained, "When we were patrolling here, we encountered a robbery, so we thought we'd turn back. But that unlucky car came along and grazed Tunan's toe! What should we do, little cousin?!"
Xiang Pengfei said, "Anna, you push Tu Nan forward, I'll go ahead and drive the car, then we'll go to the hospital and let the doctor take a look at Tu Nan's foot. We can't treat it!"
Upon hearing Xiang Pengfei's arrangement, Anna quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, little cousin!"
Xiang Pengfei then said to Zhuang Tunan, "Brother! Just bear with it! We're going to the hospital right away!"
Xiang Pengfei turned to go back when an old man came running up from behind them, panting, saying, "Comrades, comrades, have you seen a car? That's a robber! They stole my money! They stole my money!"
Xiang Pengfei had no choice but to turn around again. Upon seeing the old man, he recognized him as Deputy Factory Director Zhao Hujiang and asked, "Uncle Zhao, how much money did they rob you of?"
"One hundred thousand, no, one hundred and ten thousand!"
"Hey! What are you doing with so much money in the middle of the night?"
“My daughter was hit in the back by a bicycle during the day and needs surgery, so I borrowed 100,000 yuan from Zhou Chengzhi. I never expected that we would be robbed in front of her!”
Xiang Pengfei quickly comforted Zhao Hujiang, saying, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry. My cousin Xiaoting has a cell phone. We'll go up ahead and call the police for you!"
So the four of them set off. Xiang Pengfei, in order to save time, naturally walked in front, hoping to get there sooner and drive Zhuang Tunan to the hospital.
The four of them hadn't walked far when they saw a car approaching. They could tell from a distance that it was a police car because its lights were flashing, but it didn't make any noise, probably to avoid disturbing the peace.
As soon as the police car approached the four of them, it pulled over to the side of the road. Wu Xiaojun got out of the car and asked Xiang Pengfei, who was in front, "Brother Pengfei, what happened? Have you found Zhuang Zhennan yet?"
Xiang Pengfei hurriedly said, "Xiao Jun, quick, quick, take Brother Tu Nan to the hospital, his leg was scraped by a car!"
Wu Xiaojun asked doubtfully, "Large trucks? I came all the way from Jinhua Street and didn't see any large trucks."
"Take Brother Tunan to the hospital first, we'll talk about the truck on the way!"
So everyone pushed Tu Nan to the patrol car, and together they helped move the injured Zhuang Tu Nan into the police car.
After moving Zhuang Tunan into the car, Wu Xiaojun realized that it was Zhao Hujiang who had helped him, so he asked, "Uncle Zhao, what's going on?"
Zhao Hujiang was stunned. He wanted to speak but dared not, yet he had no choice but to speak. Just as he hesitated, Xiang Pengfei said directly, "Uncle Zhao was robbed. It was the car that hit Brother Tu Nan and fled!"
"But we haven't encountered any cars."
"Which side of Jinhua Street did you come from?"
"right!"
“That car must have turned left. Here’s what we’ll do: Uncle Zhao, you get in the patrol car and go with them to the hospital. You can go straight to see Zhao Rong. On the way, have the driver explain the situation to the police station! Xiao Jun, you and I get in my car, let’s go to the hospital too. Let’s get Brother Tu Nan settled first, then we can talk about other things!”
After listening to Xiang Pengfei's instructions, Zhao Hujiang got into the passenger seat of the police car and explained his situation to the police driver.
The police driver listened to Zhao Hujiang's account while driving forward, and turned on the walkie-talkie so that Zhao Hujiang could hold the microphone and explain the situation to the police station.
Xiang Pengfei and Wu Xiaojun returned to the alley entrance and found that Lin Dongzhe and Feng Yaoyao had already returned and were looking to the left at the alley entrance, seemingly waiting for them.
As soon as Lin Dongzhe saw Xiang Pengfei, he asked, "Brother Pengfei, how did it go? Did you find Zhuang Zhennan?"
"None of us have seen him. What about you?"
"Neither do we!"
"Tu Nan is injured again, Dong Zhe, the family is counting on you! Tell your mother to keep an eye on Xiao Ting and not let her move around too much. This newsstand can't close, there are still villagers coming to buy things tomorrow. Could you please go to the post office to pick up the newspapers and magazines? Xiao Jun and I are going to the hospital to see her!"
Lin Dongzhe patted his chest and said, "Brother Pengfei, don't worry! Leave it to me, I won't let you down!"
Xiang Pengfei said to Wu Xiaojun, "Wait for me in the car for a while, I'll go call someone and we'll be leaving right away!"
"Hey!"
Xiang Pengfei went into the alley and called Huang Zijuan. Then the three of them went directly to the hospital.
Zhuang Zhennan didn't go far. Instead, he hid at the entrance of Wang Yong's courtyard. He stayed there for almost an hour, until his legs were numb. After Xiang Pengfei finally called Huang Zijuan away, he stood there for another half hour until there was no more noise in the courtyard. Only then did he come out of Wang Yong's courtyard, walk through the alley, cross the road, and run to the movie theater across the street. Seeing the workers dozing in the attic, he went into the theater without saying a word.
Zhuang Zhennan walked down the cinema corridor to the office and found that the office lights were still on, so he knocked on Zhou Chengzhi's office door.
Zhou Chengzhi, who was smoking in silence, heard the knock on the door and asked alertly, "Who is it?"
"I am Zhuang Zhennan!"
Zhou Chengzhi quickly stood up from the sofa, went to the door, opened it for Zhuang Zhennan, and invited him into the office before saying, "I heard from Xiang Pengfei that you got the property certificate?"
"Yes!"
"Then give it to me quickly, and we'll be even!"
"No, brother, I can't just give it to you like this!"
Zhou Chengzhi glared at him and said, "Then what else do you want?"
"I'm like a rat that everyone wants to kill now. I'm penniless, where can I go? I'll be caught by the police sooner or later!"
Zhou Chengzhi said somewhat impatiently, "Then what else do you want?"
Zhuang Zhennan suddenly knelt down before Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Brother, please give me another ten thousand yuan! I'll go find Brother Ada right away and ask him to help me smuggle myself abroad. I can't stay here any longer!"
Zhou Chengzhi thought to himself that he couldn't kill someone to cover it up, so he could only give money to avoid trouble and send him away so that he could have no worries about the future!
So Zhou Chengzhi turned around, opened the bedroom door, and walked towards the safe, preparing to get the money for Zhuang Zhennan.
At this moment, Wu Shanshan, who was lying on the bed, was furious and shouted angrily at Zhou Chengzhi, "You still want money?! If you take any more, our family will be broke! My man!"
Zhou Chengzhi was quite helpless, his face full of bitterness, and said, "Quiet down, my dear, I have no other choice now!"
Wu Shanshan angrily pulled the blanket over her head and said, "Do whatever you want! As long as you don't regret it!"
Zhou Chengzhi then took 10,000 yuan from the safe and went back to the office.
