Chapter 14: Bastard



Ji Ling's tense body slowly moved to one side. With people in front and behind her, she could only take the best possible action to protect herself under the most limited conditions.

She didn't wait for the man behind her to speak, but instead heard a cold and familiar voice, "Yeah, why don't you do it? What are you waiting for?"

The situation of three people was suddenly interrupted by another voice, which startled the three of them.

The robber was frightened and Ji Ling was surprised.

Someone came to rescue her.

"Run." The man with the mole shouted and turned around and ran.

He only had time to turn around before he was held down by the two policemen who were guarding behind him.

Next, a series of tiny noises were heard. But within a few minutes, the crisis was averted. Ji Ling's heart, which had risen to her throat, relaxed. However, as she looked at the person who was slowly approaching her, her two beautiful eyebrows slowly twisted together.

Ji Ling couldn't explain what her emotion was at the moment, but at least when he walked up to her, with the help of the flashlight, Zhu Yaowu saw that Ji Ling's expression was one of anger and mockery.

Ji Ling was glad that she was rescued, but after seeing the person who came to rescue her, this life-saving straw changed its meaning.

She said calmly, "Okay, I admit that my methods are not as good as yours. I'm glad to learn from you."

She said that money couldn't be that easy to earn, and the man who repaired the bicycle chain twice looked like a decent person and couldn't be a fool. It turned out that he had dug such a big trap for her to jump into.

First they stole the credit for her reward for reporting the incident, then they used her as bait while they reaped the real benefits.

When Zhu Yaowu saw that the girl in front of him knew his elder brother, he exclaimed, looked between the two of them, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Zhu Weidong asked, "Do you know me?"

Ji Ling: Staring at his cold and expressionless face, all the words in her mind got stuck in her throat.

Zhu Yaowu knew at a glance that the girl had misunderstood. He cleared his throat and said, "Comrade, my brother is not pretending not to know you. He came out without his glasses today."

To outsiders, the Zhu family rarely mentioned that Zhu Weidong had prosopagnosia, for fear of being exploited by people with ulterior motives.

Generally speaking, when this situation occurs, people will explain it away by saying that they are not wearing glasses.

Ji Ling glanced at Zhu Yaowu and said, "So that's how it is. Does that mean you are blind?"

It turned out they were brothers.

Equally evil-minded.

Zhu Yaowu was innocently trapped in the wooden warehouse and was completely confused, but he was smart and immediately realized what the little girl had misunderstood.

He explained, "Comrade, I was the first one to go to the Public Security Bureau to report that day, and you went after me."

Five thousand yuan is not a small amount.

No wonder the little girl was so hostile.

Ji Ling was slightly stunned, and then immediately said, "Well, this is my misunderstanding, I apologize, but you used me as bait just because I charged more for repairing the car. This can't be a misunderstanding, right?"

Zhu Yaowu narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Weidong then said calmly, "Is it you?"

Humph, why are you pretending to be confused?

Ji Ling raised her chin, "Yes, it's me. When will your bicycle chain break again?"

The last sentence was obviously provocative.

Zhu Weidong said seriously, "My commute to work is not good right now, and it will be interrupted a lot."

Zhu Weidong frowned immediately, "Be strong, don't cause trouble."

Zhu Yaowu refused to agree. "Brother, are you still protecting this liar? The police are here, so let's arrest this little liar as well."

Ji Ling was accused of being a liar, and she was indeed guilty. At this moment, she was like a hero bending over for a penny. She stiffened her neck and said, "Who is a liar? I didn't steal or rob, and I clearly marked the price. Besides, am I repairing cars? I am selling technology. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, okay, I've never seen a little liar as arrogant as you. Today, I'll let you see what happens when you offend me."

Zhu Weidong found this scene funny, but his face darkened the next moment when he saw Zhu Yaowu rolling up his sleeves.

He whispered, "Be strong and don't act recklessly, otherwise I will deduct your pocket money."

In a word, Zhu Yaowu was like a duck with its neck strangled, his face turned blue and red, but he knew that the words were not meant to scare him.

At this time, a police officer was heard shouting, "Oh no! A suspect pushed the police aside and ran away."

Zhu Yaowu stared at Ji Ling with a pair of red angry eyes, and ran in the direction of the police with his sleeves lifted up, as if he was ready to fight to the death with the other party.

At this time, there were only two people.

Zhu Weidong shone the flashlight forward and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back."

Ji Ling moved her mouth twice. It was pitch dark in the bush and she couldn't see her hand in front of her. All the stubborn words were stuck in her throat.

Finally, the unambitious one got on Zhu Weidong's bicycle, and under her command, it took them more than 20 minutes to reach the street of the agricultural machinery family compound.

Zhu Weidong said, "You were right to scold Yaowu. He used you to divert the danger brought by the criminals. It was very irresponsible and irresponsible. I have already criticized him severely. The brick factory is in a remote location. Go earlier next time. It's dangerous for a girl like you to go back too late. Even if you want to save people, you should put your own safety first. It's getting late, go back quickly."

Ji Ling wanted to refute, but after pondering every word he said, she couldn't argue with him, so she thanked him reluctantly and left quickly.

Zhu Weidong watched the people enter the gate of the agricultural machinery family compound before turning around and going home.

In the middle of the night, when the Zhu family was about to call the police, Zhu Weidong finally "found home" and came back.

Old Mrs. Zhu was old, so she went back to rest after seeing that her grandson was fine. When Zhu Yaowu heard that his elder brother was going to send that female swindler away, he wanted to get angry.

You say his elder brother is so gullible that he turns the other cheek after being slapped. How can one not be angry?

Zhu Yaowu suppressed his anger and said, "Brother, you blamed me for bringing danger to the little liar before. You have been following the case in the Public Security Bureau these two days, and you followed it in person. It can be considered even. I will not bother with the little liar for cheating you of your money. But you also have to be careful. The little liar is smart at first glance. He knows that you are easy to cheat, so he will keep trying to take advantage of you."

"She didn't cheat me out of my money and she did teach me how to fix cars."

"Brother, are you stupid? What kind of skills are needed to repair a bicycle chain? I see that she has some education and is somewhat educated, so she used the word "skill" to describe the deception."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhu Yaowu, who had originally prepared a lot of words to preach, had his throat pinched again.

He looked at his elder brother dejectedly, as if it had nothing to do with him. If you talk about him again, it would sound like you were nagging him.

He just finished speaking when he heard his elder brother turn around and remind him, "By the way, go collect your bonus tomorrow and give half to Ji Ling. The little girl is working in the brick factory, so she must be very short of money."

Zhu Yaowu jumped up and said, "Why? That's my bonus, why should I give it to her?"

"Then five hundred. I'll deduct it from your pocket money. I'll send it to her tomorrow."

Faced with the furious Zhu Yaowu, Zhu Weidong remained unmoved. He gave his instructions and went to rest.

Zhu Yaowu was left there going crazy. He knew that his elder brother was ungrateful and he shouldn't have cared about his business.
