Chapter 794: The Story of Ling and Heng (57)
Glancing at Feng Ling, who didn’t know very well about the ways of the world but was still sensible, Nanheng smiled unconsciously and his mood became much better.
“Do you want to go back to the base canteen for dinner, or do you want your boss to treat you to dinner around here?”
“I just want to fill up my stomach. Anything will do.”
For a person who lived with wolves for five years, some consciousness was already deeply rooted in her bones. It wasn’t important whether the food was delicious or not, good or bad, or even raw or cooked. What only mattered was to fill up her stomach.
The only requirement Feng Ling had was that the food couldn’t be too greasy because food too greasy would give her diarrhea.
After they bought the new phone, Nanheng didn’t want to stay in this store too long and took Feng Ling away.
Feng Ling inserted the phone card into the new phone while walking. When she was going to go to the parking lot with Nanheng, she saw that he seemed to have no intention to go to the parking lot, so she had to keep up with him while fiddling with the new phone.
Li Nanheng was going to take Feng Ling to have a meal nearby and then go back. It was already dark, and now it was 6:40 p.., which was exactly dinner time.
Just when the two were going to the intersection behind the commercial street, they suddenly heard an old woman shouting anxiously: “Help me! Help me—-”
At the same time, a black figure ran quickly past and the two of them immediately stopped. Nanheng only glanced backward casually and saw an old woman with gray hair and a pair of reading gla.s.ses stumbled over, shouting in English that someone s.n.a.t.c.hed her bag.
This kind of street robbery case was normal at night and the old woman was well-dressed, so it was not surprising that she was robbed.
Nanheng hadn’t spoken yet and, and before he had the time to stop her, Feng Ling had rushed over to chase the robber.
Nanheng was speechless and sighed.
This kind of robber was easier to deal with than the bandits they met in missions. This robber was only a piece of cake to Feng Ling and he didn’t have to worry about her at all. But their dinner would be held up for quite a while. Why didn’t he find out that Feng Ling was so nosy before?
Seeing someone come up to help her chase that robber, the old woman who stumbled behind stopped by the street, gasping hard and stroking her chest. At this time, a middle-aged woman quickly walked out of a shop in the commercial street. When Nanheng saw that middle-aged woman, he paused.
She was the mistress of the Feng family, Feng Mingzhu’s mother, Qin Qiu.
Since her second daughter fell into the sea when she was under the age of one, she hadn’t given birth to any other child. For all these years, she had been blaming herself for failing to hold her second daughter firmly and causing that child to fall into the sea. Although she was only in her forties, her hair was already grey compared with her peers.
After the accident with her second daughter, Mrs. Feng started to believe in Buddhism and rarely went out of the door. Even when the Feng family people came to visit the Li family for the arranged marriage between him and Feng Mingzhu, Mrs. Feng was not present.
“Mom, what happened?” Mrs. Feng, Qin Qiu, quickly walked to the gray-haired old woman and carefully and gently lifted her up.
“Someone robbed me. You stayed in the store too long, so I got out of the car to get some fresh air, but someone came over and s.n.a.t.c.hed my bag as soon as I got out of the car” The old woman was really angry. She just ran a few more steps before she stopped, panting and coughing. Then she pointed to the front. “A young man started chasing that robber, but I don’t know if he can catch up with him.”
When Qin Qiu heard this, she helped the old woman stand up. “It’s not a big problem. The bag is not important. Thank G.o.d you’re all right. Why do you bother to chase a robber? Your safety is what matters. It’s my fault. I saw those little babies’ clothes in the store just now and thought of my poor child again. I couldn’t control my emotions, forgot the time, and made you wait too long in the car… ”
It turned out that the old lady was Mrs. Feng’s mother. Although Li Nanheng was not very concerned about the matter of the Feng family, he couldn’t just ignore them since Feng Ling had gone after that robber.
However, because he refused to marry Feng Mingzhu, it was inconvenient for him to see the Feng family people, so he simply called the police station nearby.
Within three minutes, the nearest police station sent two police officers to take them to the police station to rest.
After Feng Ling caught up with the robber, she took the bag back, but she didn’t expect that the robber had accomplices. There was a black car parking at the intersection, and the moment she took the bag back, two men jumped out instantly and pounced at her together with the robber.
Although the robbers were a.s.sociates, there were only a few steel pipes and knives in their car and no dangerous goods such as guns and ammunition. It was easy to deal with such three people, but they were so tall and strong that she couldn’t knock them out instantly.
It had been more than ten minutes when she finally knocked them down. Feng Ling checked the bag in her hand, looked coldly at the three people lying on the ground with bleeding noses and swollen faces, and took out her cell phone to call the police. After making sure that the police would soon come over, she returned with the bag.
When she went back, she saw two people wearing police uniforms talking to Nanheng. From what she knew of Boss Li, he wouldn’t poke his nose into other people’s business. She didn’t expect that he would call the police.
She walked over and handed the bag to the two policemen. “The robbers are at the intersection. Some other police officers have arrested them. I’ve taken back the bag for the lady. Please give it to her.”
Nanheng took a look at her. She had no injuries on her face and ran over without blus.h.i.+ng or panting. Sure enough, the physical training was worth it.
After the two police officers recognized Li Nanheng, they also knew that the person who helped to solve the robbers was from XI Base, so they turned around and said to Feng Ling, “Since you recovered the bag, you should give it back to the old lady and let her know who helped her. We shouldn’t steal your thunder.”
“It’s not necessary. It’s just a bag. The stuff in it should be very important to that lady. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so desperate to get it back,” Feng Ling said calmly. “I’m not going to see her.”
“Why not?” Nanheng leaned indifferently on a statue in the middle of this commercial street and smiled. “I brought you out to have some fun and you played an anti-crime show. Since you have done a good deed, just bring the bag back to the lady yourself. Otherwise, she might try to find and thank you. It would be better for you to go up to her than keep her looking for you.”
