Chapter 21 His Raincoat



Xing Haodong's eyes were cold.

He tapped the steering wheel in frustration, not expecting himself to stop.

But Jiang Mingxin was too conspicuous in the rain and fog to be ignored by anyone.

Although her figure was thin, it was clearly highlighted by her soaked clothes, and her figure showed through the thin fabric like a crystal orchid.

The skin and curves are all visible.

Isn’t she afraid that she will be targeted by bad guys?

Xing Haodong picked up his cloak and raincoat, and before he could think clearly, he rushed out.

After crossing the traffic light, he quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Mingxin before she started.

"Raincoat, put it on!"

Jiang Mingxin raised her head in surprise. Water was still on her cheeks and flowing down her hair, but the rain above her head suddenly stopped.

This time, they were close.

She finally saw Xing Haodong's face clearly.

Xing Haodong also saw her bright black eyes, her plump red lips, and her straight nose.

Their eyes met, and they were both stunned for a moment.

After a while, Xing Haodong reacted and hurriedly opened the cloak of his raincoat and put it on her shoulders. "The rain is too heavy, put on your raincoat before leaving!"

After saying that, he rushed back into the rain and fog without looking back.

By the time Jiang Mingxin realized what had just happened, his jeep had already started.

"Comrade—I don't even know your name. How am I supposed to return this raincoat to you?"

Xing Haodong naturally couldn't hear it. He held the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the side, and the only sound in his ears was the annoying sound of rain.

And there was the fleeting faint red mark on the back of Jiang Mingxin's hand just now.

It looks like the wound has healed...

However, his raincoat was too big for Jiang Mingxin. The wide cloak covered Jiang Mingxin's head tightly, just like a child who had stolen adult clothes.

She took off the rubber band on her hair and tied her cuffs, then raised her foot and stepped down hard, struggling forward against the rain and fog.

We sped all the way and finally got back to the county before dark.

I moved the books into the library and returned the tricycle to the noodle shop owner. It was already completely dark when I got home.

Fortunately, the fire in the stove at home was still burning. Jiang Mingxin immediately filled it with honeycomb coal, boiled water, and took a bath. Fortunately, it was summer, otherwise she would definitely catch a cold in such heavy rain.

After making some noodles, Jiang Mingxin propped up his camouflage raincoat with a clothes hanger and hung it on the balcony.

As I watched, Xing Haodong's handsome face suddenly appeared before my eyes.

"Why is it him again..." Jiang Mingxin unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, "Although he looks a little cold, he's actually a nice person."

It just so happens that Aunt Hu has been asking about her eldest brother these past two days. If she hangs the raincoat here for a few more days, she shouldn't become suspicious.

Because of an error in the hospital's arrangements, Brother Fang's surgery was delayed for one day.

Jiang Mingxin bought sandpaper and paint and worked hard in the study.

It was almost noon when I received a call from Lin Juan.

"I was worried you weren't here. Just now, the team received a call from the head of Jiangjiatun Village. He said someone had dug up a huge hole on a hill in the village. They heard someone screaming from below, but they didn't dare to rescue them. They were afraid it was the two tomb robbers who had escaped earlier."

"Really? Director Bai has already led the team there? I want to go and take a look too. Can you take me with you?"

"Okay, just tell me the location and I'll drive right over."

Lin Juan is the only female criminal police officer in the county public security bureau. Her father, grandfather, and uncle were all police officers, but unfortunately, they are all gone. She not only has a gun, but also has the right to use a police car at any time.

The two quickly arrived at Jiangjiatun.

At this moment, Chief Bai had already directed several police officers to go down the tomb with ropes and rescue the person who fell in.

Everyone took out their handcuffs and stared at the cave entrance with burning eyes, waiting to handcuff the tomb robber and take him back to the political commissar to claim credit.

But when they pulled it up, wow, wasn't that Tan Jianhua and his fellow appraisers?

How did they end up in the cave?

They began to doubt and imagine, and several people came up with more than 800 guesses.

Director Bai was even more surprised: "Why are you here... What's going on? Are you here to rob tombs too?"

The village chief also shouted: "Great! It's true that you can only judge a person by his appearance. He's an appraiser, but he's actually a robber!"

"No, no, no... We didn't, we just... came here to investigate." Tan Jianhua was eager to explain, but because he had been trapped in the cave for a night, he was cold and hungry, and his mouth trembled as soon as he opened it, and he couldn't say anything clearly for a long time.

In addition, his foot injury had not healed yet, and he accidentally fell into a tomb last night, breaking his right leg, which made the situation worse.

Faced with the questioning of the crowd, his blood rushed up and he fainted.

When Jiang Mingxin arrived, he saw Tan Jianhua fainted.

Director Bai was delighted when he saw her coming. "Mingxin, I haven't seen you these past few days. Where have you been?"

"Uncle Bai, don't worry. I'm staying at a classmate's house and doing some odd jobs to save some money for my living expenses."

Jiang Mingxin smiled faintly, not only looking more energetic than before, but also her face looked a lot rosier.

However, the more Director Bai looked, the more complicated his expression became.

He hadn't realized it before, but now Jiang Mingxin was no longer as embarrassed as she was that night, and looked exactly like Bai Shuang when she was eighteen years old.

Director Bai frowned distressedly: "Kid, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Where are you doing odd jobs? Are you tired?"

"It's not tiring. It's quite easy to help out in the library." This was the excuse Jiang Mingxin had thought of early on.

Her whereabouts cannot be hidden forever. When school starts in September, everyone will know that she has gone to the county's No. 1 Middle School to study in her senior year, and it will not be easy for her to hide anymore.
