Capítulo 787: 479 This girl is gentle as water, yet every cut scrapes the heart (2 more updates)_3
Tang Wan had known her for two or three years. She was extrely well-mannered and often wore qipao, moving with grace and charm. Never had Tang Wan imagined she would see her strike soone with a stick.
Shen Shuci hadn’t expected her to follow either.
Yet this hit with the stick on Liang Wenzhong’s back wasn’t enough to knock him unconscious.
One after another, Cheng Yaojin ca up, and Liang Wenzhong originally intended to teach Shen Shuci a lesson. As more and more people gathered and he couldn’t escape, he grew increasingly frenzied.
This hit with the stick truly infuriated him.
He clenched the knife in his hand, suddenly turned around, and swung at her!
“Be careful—” Tang Wan blurted out, while a passerby scread instinctively. Shen Shuci was so distance away and, despite running wildly, might not make it in ti.
Tang Wan’s breath caught; her heart jumped to her throat.
…
This area was a suburb, with many alleys and houses around, yet a low occupancy rate. Those with a bit of money had moved downtown, and the young people had gone out, leaving mostly elderly residents. It was extrely quiet.
Jiang Jinsang and Huo Qinqi’s car had already stopped at the intersection. Hearing the shouts and being very close, they exchanged glances and hurriedly ran towards the sound.
Huo Qinqi moved even faster and was very sharp. Despite the complex alleys, he found the exact location, with Jiang Jinsang following closely behind.
Upon arriving, they witnessed Liang Wenzhong committing the act of violence.
Even Huo Qinqi, fast as he was, couldn’t make it in ti.
Just when everyone thought the girl was more likely to be unlucky,
she raised her arm, swung the stick, and delivered a fierce blow to the side of Liang Wenzhong’s shoulder.
His body tilted from the impact, and the knife didn’t co within half an inch of her. As he was unbalanced and hadn’t recovered, she struck him another harsh blow on his head.
He even collapsed and was completely knocked out.
She held the stick, poked his body to make sure he was unconscious, and then took a long breath of relief towards Tang Wan,
“That scared to death.”
Everyone: “…”
Her manner of swinging the stick didn’t look like soone who was scared to death at all. If she were overly frightened, she should have looked pale like this passerby young girl.
Liang Wenzhong was very close to her. If she had been half a second slower in her movents, he would definitely have slashed a gash on her.
She was quick to react.
She placed the stick aside and clapped her hands, “Um… has anyone called the police?”
Only then did Tang Wan rember she was still on the phone with the police, as the officer on the other end had also heard the screams and kept calling her.
“Sorry…”
“Are you alright?” The operator was terrified and had already started locating the phone signal, but it would take ti.
“I’m fine.”
“Can you confirm your location?”
“We’re at…” Tang Wan frowned, but the girl in the qipao ca over, “Want to report the location, right? Let do it.”
Tang Wan handed her the phone. After she gave the precise location and hung up, she pointed to the door number plate, “Isn’t it right here?”
Tang Wan suddenly realized that in her panic, she hadn’t noticed that every household had a door plate clearly marking which alley and which house it was.
“Are you alright?” Tang Wan looked her over.
“No problem, just wanted to make sure you weren’t lost, so I ca to check on you,” she said with a chuckle, but her gaze accidentally caught both Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi sizing her up, causing her to cough softly and avert her eyes.
Both of these individuals were trained, and it was likely apparent to them that she had so skills…
Even if she didn’t, such bravery wasn’t common.
That strike with the stick was precise, hitting right at the critical spot. If it had been a knife, it would have likely gouged deeply.
Moreover, she was still wearing a cheongsam, which made her actions seem quite incongruent.
“Sister, are you alright?” Tang Wan shifted her gaze to the pedestrian, “Your clothes are also torn.”
“It’s okay.” She was clearly shaken, fumbling with her clothes sowhat helplessly.
Her sleeve was ripped open, exposing her slender arm. She clutched her arm, and her stomach was also exposed where her shirt had been cut. She pulled at her clothing, looking very vulnerable.
Shen Shuci watched her, preparing to take off his own trench coat to give to her.
As the sun set and the temperature dropped, Huo Qinqi, naturally worried about Shen Shuci catching a chill, raised his hand to take off his own coat…
“Wear mine.”
The girl glanced at Huo Qinqi, and her eyes darted to Jiang Jinsang standing beside her, her cheeks flushing at the sight of such unusual characters.
Before she could pass the garnt to the pedestrian girl, soone else spoke up.
“My house is very close by, why don’t you co with to change clothes? The police will be at least another ten minutes away,” she said with a smile, positioning herself between the pedestrian and Huo Qinqi, effectively stopping the exchange of clothes.
“To your house?” the pedestrian’s voice was very soft.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person.”
…
Most of those present were shrewd and had their own thoughts about her actions.
**
The police arrived soon after and took a group of people back to the station for questioning. A pedestrian testified, and given there was an existing grudge, Liang Wenzhong indeed had a motive for assault. Though there was no surveillance at the scene, so recordings along the way showed that Liang Wenzhong had followed them all the way from the orphanage…
His arrival in Pingjiang coincided with the day Shen Shuci arrived.
His intentions were clear.
The case was almost a no-brainer; Liang Wenzhong was imdiately detained by the police.
“Once you confirm there’s no issue, sign here,” the police handed the statent to the pedestrian girl, “Young lady, it’s good to be brave in helping others, but make sure your own safety is secured first, understand?”
“I understand.”
“You really are courageous, daring to save soone. Nowadays, even if an old woman falls, not everyone would help. And he had a knife, yet you still ran out…” the officer said with a smile.
She held the pen and signed her na neatly at the bottom of the statent.
Shen Shuci stood aside and watched her, his pupils minutely trembled as he took another look at her; things had happened so suddenly he hadn’t had a chance to properly observe her, but now he found her vaguely familiar.
However, the situation didn’t allow for many questions.
Although her courageous act hadn’t been very effective, she had the guts to do it, and nearly got hurt. Shen Shuci offered to take her ho, which she politely declined, but he still kept her contact details, intending to thank her later.
It was Tang Wan, an old custor, who left the station and sent them a ssage saying she had left, and hadn’t even had a chance to thank them.
After returning, the elders weren’t inford about the incident, but Jiang Chengsi always found out sohow; he’d been ho playing with birds, bored enough already, and now he missed watching the drama unfold…
And after dark, the noise of the bed shaking from the next apartnt nearly drove him mad!
