A sleazy voice blocked Xia Baozhu's way; it was a thirty-year-old man wearing a cotton coat with a drawstring at the waist.
He had a head of short, bushy hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, a thin face, and a thick beard around his mouth, making him look dirty.
Xia Baozhu moved to the right to avoid him, and he followed her to the right. Xia Baozhu moved to the left, and he moved to the left as well.
So Xia Baozhu stepped on the man's foot and heard him scream. She felt much better, as she felt a lot of the anger and grievances she had suffered today were released.
Seeing this, Chen Shanlou smiled slightly. What a little wildcat.
He came out late and searched for Xia Baozhu on the street for quite a while before finally finding her.
Alone and looking cold and pitiful, none of her family members thought of her.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she's with him, he promises she'll never have to suffer like this again.
The man's screams attracted several people at the entrance of the dance hall, who gathered around and followed Xia Baozhu.
Chen Shanlou pulled up in his jeep next to Xia Baozhu, got out, and pointed at the group, asking, "What do you want?"
"What you do is none of your business! I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business, or I'll smash you and your car!"
A drunken man, reeking of alcohol, swung his arms and charged at Chen Shanlou, only to be knocked to the ground by a side kick from Chen Shanlou.
Xia Baozhu stood still, looking at Shen Shanlou and recognizing him as the last person to come out, Deputy Director Shen.
After Chen Shanlou had subdued everyone, he casually withdrew his leg and looked at Xia Baozhu.
"Xia Zhaodi, right? It's not safe tonight, let me take you home."
As he spoke, Chen Shanlou stared into Xia Baozhu's eyes, expecting to see gratitude and admiration, but there was nothing there.
Xia Baozhu still had a calm expression. Was she frightened?
As Shen Shanlou took a step forward, Xia Baozhu seemed to wake from a dream and showed a grateful expression.
"Thank you so much, officer." Xia Baozhu clasped her hands together, bowed slightly, and expressed her gratitude.
The reason she didn't express her gratitude at first was that she saw through Chen Shanlou's intentions at a glance, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
This person is a typical hypocrite.
But then I thought about it again and realized that offending him wouldn't do any good. Things like being arrested on some random pretext like today might happen often.
Moreover, it would be problematic if someone were rescued under such circumstances and acted as if it didn't matter.
That's why she seemed a step behind.
"Don't mention it, it's my duty. Get in the car."
Chen Shanlou spoke with an air of righteous indignation, opened the passenger door, and let Xia Baozhu get in, while observing Xia Baozhu's expression.
He had received many envious and admiring glances because of his car, but he received none of those from Xia Baozhu.
She acted as naturally as if she were used to riding in a car, and even buckled her seatbelt without hesitation.
"Try to stay home as little as possible at night, and if you do go out, go with your family."
After pondering Xia Baozhu's personality, Chen Shanlou started the car again and gave Xia Baozhu a word of advice.
Regardless of his personality, as long as he treats her well and saves her from dire straits, he doesn't believe she won't be moved.
"Okay, thank you." Xia Baozhu looked straight ahead, trying to make an embarrassed expression, her tone slightly shy.
