People around quickly backed away, afraid of being hit.
However, cheers immediately erupted again.
"good!"
"Young comrade, you have impressive skills!"
"Great! Who is this person? How dare they pull out a knife? This is committing murder in the street!"
"If it weren't for this young lady, this old comrade would have really been injured."
"Yes, yes, wow, that knife looks so sharp."
The gloomy young man landed several meters away, completely bewildered. What had happened? Why did he fly out?
The clean-cut old lady was still a little shaken. She hadn't expected that the young man would not only not dodge, but would instead go to meet her, and most importantly, he actually won.
As Chen Jianguo was about to get up, Li Yan and Lin Zhaodi, who had just come out, quickly came over to help, since it was easier for the women.
“This man committed a crime in the street. We can’t let him get away. With someone like this around, our safety is not guaranteed.”
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up, send a few young men,"
"Hey, you guys hold him down first, I'm going to the police station."
"No need, no need. Xiao Li went there just now and should be here soon."
"Hey, here it comes."
It felt like just a blink of an eye, and look, the kind-hearted elderly folks had arranged everything perfectly.
She also remarked on the purity and simplicity of people's hearts these days; they truly have a red heart and are full of enthusiasm.
This made her think of her past life, where technology was advanced, transportation was convenient, life was smart, and resources were abundant, but the hearts of people were becoming increasingly cold and indifferent.
It takes courage to even help someone up. Incidents of people trying to help being falsely accused and extorted happen frequently. Even giving truthful testimony has become distorted. She has never seen such enthusiasm for helping others and such unsuspecting unity outside the base.
The crowd parted automatically to make way, and three police officers followed the person who reported the crime inside.
The situation described by the person who reported the crime was dangerous, so they didn't dare to delay and ran all the way over.
So, it's already over?
What's going on?
When the gloomy young man saw that the police had actually been called, he panicked and struggled to shrink back, trying to hide himself in the crowd of onlookers.
Unfortunately, Jian Dan's kick was quite forceful, and he really couldn't get up. His posture made him an eye-catching figure on the scene, drawing attention at first glance.
The enthusiastic residents of Chaoyang District did not disappoint Jian Dan; they quickly explained the situation in a flurry of voices.
The main point is that the whole thing, from its cause, development, climax, to now, really happened in just one instant, and the whole thing happened right under everyone's noses.
Someone kindly even scooped up the knife that had just been thrown out and brought it back.
"Officers, look, this is the knife that the man was about to use to stab the old lady. Luckily, this young officer kicked it away, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
The gloomy young man struggled, his gaze towards Jian Dan filled with a hint of ruthlessness and resentment, gritting his teeth.
"You filthy bitch! Mind your own business!"
The two policemen frowned, and without any gentleness, they dragged him up and handcuffed him.
"Behave yourself!"
"You old hag, you're lucky to be alive. You and your son are no good. Just you wait, your retribution is coming."
The police officers then took a closer look and were quite surprised.
"Aunt Cheng, it's you! Are you alright?"
The old lady waved her hand, her face several shades paler.
"I'm fine, thanks to this young comrade, otherwise I'd probably be in the hospital right now."
"Aunt Cheng, we've taken this person away. You, this young comrade, and these comrades, please come with me to make a statement."
He then pointed to the person who reported the incident and several people at the scene.
At that moment, people felt an overwhelming sense of honor and did not hesitate for a moment upon hearing these words.
“Yes, yes,”
The person whose name was called readily asked someone to help them ask for leave, and then immediately followed. The other educated youths exchanged glances, seemingly worried and wanting to follow, but Jian Dan stopped them.
"It's alright, don't you trust me? You go buy your things first, and we'll meet at the oxcart in a bit."
"But, can you manage on your own? Shall we go and give you some encouragement?"
For ordinary people, the mere mention of the police station sends shivers down their spines, so their concerns are not unfounded. But is Jian Dan an ordinary person?
"Don't worry, don't worry, you guys go back first. I'm just cooperating with the police to make a statement, I'll be back soon."
The three men were helpless and could only watch as she walked away with the three policemen and a few others.
It was pretty much as simple as she said, and it was indeed a statement being taken, but the first few passersby exaggerated it too much; in their words, she was practically flying.
The police officers who took her statement later looked at her very strangely.
The old lady disappeared after she went inside. Jian Dan didn't pay any attention. This was supposed to be the city, and she was completely clueless about it. But these people were locals who knew everything about the place, even the smallest details. There was nothing to worry about, especially since it was their first time meeting.
After taking her statement and noting down the location where she went to the countryside, since it was considered an act of bravery, I simply carried my basket on my back and walked out. Just as I reached the door, I saw an old woman who had been waiting there for a while, and a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man must be the old lady's child; they do look somewhat alike.
What caught Jian Dan's attention even more was that the clothes he was wearing also belonged to a police officer.
In that instant, no fewer than ten stories rushed into Jian Dan's mind.
His brother was arrested, so he came to take revenge by breaking him out of prison and taking revenge on society.
The family member was murdered, and they felt the handling of the case was unfair, so they targeted the elderly woman who was also a family member.
I suffered a loss because the old lady took me in before, so I'm here for revenge.
......
And so on and so forth.
Thinking about it, she found it funny herself.
"Young comrade, I am Cheng Yuanshan, the director of our commune's public security bureau."
Today, we are truly grateful for your courageous act. This person was a suspect we had been staking out for days. If it weren't for you, he would have succeeded today, causing another wave of panic in public.
Furthermore, in my personal capacity, I thank you for your help in saving my mother.
The old lady rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.
"He speaks in such a rigid and formal way, it's really boring."
Turning back to Jian Dan, he immediately gave her a kind smile and affectionately took her little hand.
"Young comrade, you are my savior. Let's not talk about formalities. If you don't mind, let's treat each other like relatives from now on."
"I won't lie to you, our family still has some connections in Xiangyang Commune, enough to hold sway even back in Ji'an County."
