Xia Baozhu rode through the familiar intersection, turned right, and suddenly two bicycles appeared in the alley next to her.
Two vehicles suddenly rushed towards Xia Baozhu's bicycle, seemingly intending to knock her down.
Xia Baozhu couldn't dodge in time and was indeed knocked down by a car, but only the bicycle fell over, and she remained standing.
There were four people on the two bicycles, two riding and two off, all with scarves wrapped tightly around their heads.
One of the people who got off the bus pulled out a knife and pointed it at Xia Baozhu, shouting, "Don't move! Don't shout! We just want your money, not your life. Hand over the money."
They noticed this woman when the shop was being renovated, and knew that she came and went alone every day.
She had originally planned to take action yesterday, but gave up when she saw Sun Xingyan escorting her with two men.
This time it's just this woman, four against one, it's a sure thing!
"The money is in my bag, I'll get it for you."
As Xia Baozhu spoke, she bent down, pulled a rolling pin from her canvas bag, and suddenly turned around and swung it at another man who was approaching her.
The car, which was originally going to stop at Chenshanlou in the distance, stopped. He sat back down, took out his binoculars, and watched the show intently.
No wonder Xia Zhaodi dared to run into the alley last night; she had something to rely on.
The moment his companion fell to the ground, the man with the knife yelled "You bitch!" and immediately swung his knife at him.
Xia Baozhu's rolling pin was longer and faster than his knife. She struck his wrist with the rolling pin, causing the knife to fall to the ground, where she kicked it away.
At the same time, she swung the rolling pin at the man's face. Luckily, she was wearing a scarf, otherwise the force could have twisted his neck.
They solved two in half a minute; the speed was as fast as lightning.
The two men on bicycles hurriedly abandoned their bikes, and one pulled out a hammer and the other a large wooden paddle from their clothes.
Xia Baozhu didn't give them any time to react, striking them one by one with her staff, the two collapsing to the ground in perfect slow motion.
With this level of skill, you still want to rob others? Don't you even know how tough you are?
Xia Baozhu picked up her bicycle and was about to leave when a familiar jeep came from the opposite direction.
"Xia Zhaodi, you've got some skills in fighting and brawling. Come with me." Chen Shanlou stopped the car, his tone cold and stern.
Xia Baozhu's heart tightened. She hadn't expected Chen Shanlou to be so shameless as to accuse her of fighting.
She now suspects that Shen Shanlou is following her to find something to use against her, a sting operation.
"They robbed me of my money, I acted in self-defense."
"Self-defense? You know quite a lot."
Chen Shanlou used two pairs of handcuffs to cuff the four people on the ground together.
"Wait here and keep an eye on those four. I'll go get some people."
With that, Chen Shanlou got into his car and drove away.
Making a suspect watch over another suspect—what kind of practice is that?
Did they want her to take the opportunity to run away first?
If they catch her, they can punish her even more severely; this person is truly cunning.
Soon, officers from the nearby police station arrived and took the five of them to the station.
After Xia Baozhu finished giving her statement, she was left aside without being told to leave.
"Comrade, may I go back now?"
Xia Baozhu wasn't familiar with the current regulations, and according to the methods used in her time, she worried that the police would make her pay for the medical treatment of those robbers.
That was absolutely disgusting, disgusting to the core.
"We'll have to wait until the interrogation is over and the higher-ups approve. Don't worry, you should be fine," the policewoman said to Xia Baozhu in a very friendly manner.
In her opinion, this woman, as beautiful as a flower, shouldn't have suffered such a thing.
With looks like that, shouldn't her in-laws pick her up and drop her off every day? If someone were picking her up, this wouldn't be happening.
Fortunately, he was strong and managed to escape unscathed, even encountering Deputy Director Shen, who was on patrol at irregular intervals.
Leaders like Deputy Director Shen, who keep the safety of the people in mind even after get off work, are truly admirable.
Half an hour later, a police officer came over and said to Xia Baozhu, "Alright, you can go back now."
As Xia Baozhu stood up, she added a few more words, "Luckily, a leader happened to pass by and could testify for you. Otherwise, given the injuries of the four of them, even if you were in the right, you would have to stay for a while before you could leave."
"Thank you so much, boss." Xia Baozhu thanked him while still furious, her face contorted with rage.
As she walked out, Chen Shanlou was saying goodbye to a duty leader who had seen him off.
"Thank you so much for tonight," Xia Baozhu said politely to the guests at Chenshanlou.
"You're welcome. Be careful on your way home tonight, and don't take shortcuts," Chen Shanlou replied earnestly.
"Understood, sir. Goodbye."
Watching Xia Baozhu ride her bicycle, Chen Shanlou also left amidst the admiring gazes of the staff on duty.
"Xia Zhaodi, wait a moment, I have a few questions to ask you." Chen Shanlou quickly caught up with Xia Baozhu.
“Ask away.” Xia Baozhu stopped, a stiff smile creeping onto her face.
"When did you learn kung fu?" Shen Shan got out of the car, turned to Xia Baozhu's side, and stared into her eyes as he asked.
“I haven’t studied it; I’m just naturally strong,” Xia Baozhu said calmly.
Have you ever learned to dance?
When Shen Shanlou thought about her last move—leaping to dodge the wrench that was coming at her, turning around to strike the other person, and finally landing lightly—it was like watching a thoroughly enjoyable dance.
"I haven't studied it either."
"Then why is your posture and gait so different from before?"
"How do you know they're different?" Xia Baozhu wasn't afraid of being exposed; instead, she was very curious about how Chen Shanlou had figured it out.
"Photos, the Leng family portrait, and your wedding photo with Leng Minghui." Shen Shanlou made a special trip to the Leng family home under the pretext of gathering information.
