"Did you just see two men running this way? The one in front was carrying a military green canvas bag," the middle-aged woman said breathlessly.
At this moment, a man pointed to the alley where Gu Xichen and the others disappeared and said, "They ran that way."
After thanking her, the middle-aged woman was about to run towards the alley.
"Aunt Zhou!" Jiang Jinxiu called out loudly.
Jiang Jinxiu was surprised to find that she would have the chance to see Zhou Ying in Punan Town.
I first met Zhou Ying when she had just been reborn, at the hospital.
After being discharged from the hospital, she wanted to visit them again, but they rushed back to Kyoto. She wondered if they had encountered any problems or if they had resolved them.
Later, she sent them some things, thinking that they would only be able to see each other again when she returned to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ying came to Punan Town again. I wonder if Grandma Luo came too.
Zhou Ying heard someone calling her, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. She looked in the direction of the voice.
Soon they saw Jiang Jinxiu standing at the hospital entrance.
No wonder she could spot Jiang Jinxiu at a glance; Jiang Jinxiu was simply the most outstanding among all the people there.
Whether it's her pretty face or her height.
In Punan Town, very few women have Jiang Jinxiu's height and figure.
Upon seeing Jiang Jinxiu, she forgot all about chasing the robber and rushed to Jiang Jinxiu, exclaiming with delight, "Girl, it's been so long! What are you doing here?"
Jiang Jinxiu did not answer her question immediately; she was more worried about her.
Despite the cold weather, beads of sweat were visibly forming on Zhou Ying's face.
It's easy to imagine how tiring it must have been to run like that.
Jiang Jinxiu took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Aunt Zhou, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ying took Jiang Jinxiu's handkerchief without any hesitation, wiping her sweat as she said, "We just arrived in town and were just about to ask you for directions when someone snatched the bag I was carrying. What bad luck!"
Zhou Ying spoke with regret.
Inside the bag were several hundred yuan and some documents.
Money is secondary; losing documents and having to replace them is a real hassle.
She usually keeps her bag close to her chest, but she hadn't noticed it when she got off the bus, and it was snatched away in just a few seconds.
She couldn't help but look towards the alley next to her again.
I wonder if I can win my son back.
The security situation was poor in those days; theft and robbery were common occurrences.
Therefore, when people are out and about, they will keep a close eye on their belongings.
"Xi Chen went after him, he'll definitely be able to catch him."
Jiang Jinxiu had absolute faith in Gu Xichen.
At Gu Xichen's speed, catching up with the robber is only a matter of time.
"My son Xiao An also chased after them, hoping to catch that person."
Jiang Jinxiu thought that the person behind her just now must be Xiao An, whom Zhou Ying had mentioned.
Jiang Jinxiu was right; Gu Xichen caught up very quickly.
The other men who followed the robber felt as if a gust of wind had passed by them.
That person was incredibly fast.
However, they soon realized who the person running past them was.
Gu Xichen not only caught up with the robber, but also brought him back along with the things he had stolen.
Actually, he didn't think that much; he just wanted to catch the robber as soon as possible and get back to his wife.
He regretted not having dealt with those two people sooner so he could have left in peace.
The thought of his wife standing alone at the hospital entrance brought a lump to his throat.
Besides Gu Xichen, one of the young men who had been chasing the robber also returned.
However, he was not only slower than Gu Xichen, but he also lost track of the robber.
If he hadn't seen Gu Xichen dragging the robber back, he probably wouldn't have been able to explain himself when he got back.
This young man is Zhao Guoan, who came to Punan Town with Zhou Ying and the others.
Grandma Luo's youngest grandson.
That's the idle one Zhou Ying mentioned.
He was the youngest in his family, with several older brothers, so they were quite lenient with him.
Because Old Lady Luo insisted on coming to find Jiang Jinxiu.
Not feeling at ease, he arranged for Zhao Guoan, who had nothing else to do, to come along.
After settling in, Zhou Ying still had to go back.
Zhou Ying was relieved to learn that Gu Xichen had gone to arrest someone.
For some reason, even though she had only met Gu Xichen once, she inexplicably trusted him.
She told Jiang Jinxiu to wait there for Gu Xichen to return, while she went to fetch Grandma Luo and the others.
They were brought here by their family driver this time.
The driver is still waiting over there with her mother-in-law.
Gu Xichen and his group arrived before Grandma Luo and her group.
Gu Xichen grabbed the robber, who was probably intimidated by Gu Xichen's aura and was behaving himself.
He kept begging Gu Xichen to let him go, but Gu Xichen remained unmoved.
Beside them was a young man, not short at all, over 1.7 meters tall, who bore a resemblance to Zhou Ying and had a slightly roguish air about him.
However, he was currently talking to Gu Xichen with an expression of admiration, and Gu Xichen did not respond to him.
But this did not dampen his enthusiasm.
Her mouth kept chattering away.
One minute they'd ask Gu Xichen his name, the next they'd ask where he learned his fighting skills, then they'd ask if he was in the military, and then they'd ask if he could be their teacher...
