Zhao Shanshan was startled by the sound and stopped in her tracks without noticing the strange thing beside her.
Two figures rushed past me, accompanied by a voice saying, "Your bag has been slashed. Wait for me here."
Zhao Shanshan snapped out of her daze and touched her bag. Sure enough, there was a large tear in it, and her small wallet was gone.
"Ah! That damned thief!"
This was Zhao Shanshan's favorite bag, and now that it was slashed like this, Zhao Shanshan was extremely angry and forgot about her earlier words about waiting where she was. She grabbed the tear and ran after it.
"Damn it! When I catch you, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Just around the corner, she saw the damned thief being pinned to the ground with his hands tied behind his back by a tall, imposing man. Without a word, she rushed over and slapped him hard across the face.
"You dare to steal from your great-aunt? Don't you know how many eyes the Horse King has?"
"You bastard, do you even know how much your auntie's bag cost? You dare to scratch it! Be careful, I'll sell it and you still won't be able to pay for it back."
......
Xu Wen looked at her fierce appearance and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing that she was really beating the person to death, he quickly said, "Girl, go easy on her, don't hurt her badly."
Zhao Shanshan was still venting her anger when she heard this and immediately became unhappy. "What do you mean? Do you sympathize with this thief?"
"No, why would I sympathize with him? I'm just thinking about you. You're a perfectly good girl. If you really hurt him, even if he's a thief, you'll have to take responsibility. Do you think it's worth it?"
Zhao Shanshan felt like she'd been hit on the head with a club; it definitely wasn't a good deal.
"Well, that's definitely not a good deal for me, but I can't just sit back and not get my revenge!"
"Whoever says they can't get revenge, you hand her over to the relevant authorities, and the law will punish them without you getting your hands dirty."
Zhao Shanshan was so angry that she lost her mind. Only now did she realize how badly she had acted. Especially when she looked closely and saw that the man in front of her was actually quite good-looking, she felt even more embarrassed.
"Then let's send him to the police station!"
Xu Wen gave her a wink, and Zhao Shanshan realized that she was still stepping on the thief's leg. Her pretty face turned red, and she quickly pulled her foot back, saying, "Let's go now."
After saying that, Xu Wen turned around and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He picked up the man on the ground and left.
The petty thief was initially stunned by the beating, and only then did he remember to plead, "Big brother, big sister, please don't send me in. I have my reasons, I..."
He spoke pitifully, but it instantly enraged Zhao Shanshan again. "Big sister? What big sister? I'm only twenty-two! Look at your face with all those wrinkles around your eyes, and you still have the nerve to call me big sister!"
The word "old" is something women absolutely cannot bear to hear; being scolded for it is to be expected.
"And what does it have to do with me that you were forced into a corner? Being forced into a corner gives you the right to slash my bag with a knife? Who gave you the guts! I don't think you were forced into a corner, you're just a pure scoundrel."
“Comrade, let’s take him in quickly and let Uncle Hat give him a good interrogation. I don’t think he realizes his problem at all.”
Xu Wen looked at the sulky girl in front of him and found her quite adorable. "Alright, let's hurry up and go."
The two quickly took the person inside, cooperated in giving a statement, and then left the police station.
"Damn it! Time's up! That damn thief!"
The stolen wallet has been returned, but the slashed bag can't be repaired. Even if there's compensation later, she won't be in a good mood, not to mention that it has wasted so much of her time.
Where are you going? Do you need me to give you a ride?
Zhao Shanshan glanced at the other person's bicycle, her face turning slightly red.
“My friend’s braised meat shop opened, and I was going to be the first customer, but it has taken up so much of my time.”
Xu Wen felt the conversation was becoming more and more familiar. "You're not going to Gu's braised meat shop, are you?"
"Huh? How did you know? Are you going there too?"
Under the little girl's sparkling eyes, Xu Wen nodded, "Yes, I'm Lao Xiao's comrade-in-arms. My dad likes his family's braised meat, so he asked me to go buy some for him."
“I’m his wife’s best friend. It’s a small world.”
It's not a small matter; a random person I met on the street turned out to be a friend of a friend.
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Xu Wen, I'm from Beijing, and I'm currently serving in the military."
"My name is Zhao Shanshan, and I am a junior at the University of Washington."
Xu Wen was surprised that Zhao Shanshan was a student at Huada University. He was stunned for a few seconds, but Zhao Shanshan noticed him.
"What? I don't look like a student from the University of Washington."
Xu Wen chuckled, "No, it's just that I didn't expect you to be so much more outstanding than you look."
Who could resist such praise? Zhao Shanshan couldn't suppress the smile on her face when she heard those words.
"I didn't expect you to be so good with words."
"I'm not lying, it's all the truth. We're traveling together anyway, so you don't mind if we travel together, right?"
Zhao Shanshan was already interested in finding out, so she didn't hesitate any longer and sat in the back seat. When they arrived at the braised meat shop, there was already a long queue.
"This business is booming."
Xu Wen really admired this family; they could succeed in any business they did.
"Don't just stand there, let's hurry inside, or we won't be able to get a hot meal if we cut in line."
Zhao Shanshan originally wanted to wait in line, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to cut in line to get her braised pork.
Not only did she cut in line, but she also dragged Xu Wen along.
