Chapter 4762: Let Me Take You Home

"Help! Help! Someone's robbing money!" When Zhao De was driving through a small alley, a sudden urgent cry for help broke the calm night. He instinctively slowed down the car, followed the sound, and saw three figures at the entrance of an alley. An innate sense of justice made him slam on the brakes before he could even think, stop the car, open the door, and jump out. Only from a distance did he see that two young men with yellow hair were robbing a woman's handbag. One of the young men was holding the woman's waist, and the other was pulling the handbag from her hands. The woman was holding the handbag tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Zhao De shouted from a distance, "What are you doing!" While shouting, he rushed over in three steps at a time.

Hearing the shout, the two young men turned their heads in unison and saw a burly man rushing over aggressively. The young man who was snatching the handbag sneered and cursed at Zhao De, "Damn it! Mind your own business! Get the hell away!" Saying this, he continued to pull the handbag from the woman's arms. The woman crouched down, tightly protecting the handbag in her arms, refusing to let go, and shouted anxiously, "No! Help!..."

"Stop!" Zhao De shouted angrily while rushing forward.

Seeing that Zhao De didn't stop, the young man who had shouted just now let go, turned around, pulled a bright dagger from his waist, waved it in his hand, and shouted fiercely at Zhao De, "Damn, where did this busybody come from! Get the hell away, or I'll let you have a white blade in and a red blade out!"

"You two bastards, robbing a woman—what kind of men are you!" Zhao De cursed fearlessly, "Let her go!"

"Damn, there really is such a living Lei Feng!" The young man holding the dagger cursed, waving the bright dagger, and while approaching Zhao De, cursed, "I see you're not going to cry until you see the coffin! If you're sensible, get the hell away!"

"I'm telling you, you'd better get the hell away now! Otherwise, I won't be polite!" Zhao De shouted loudly, then clenched his hands into fists, squeezed hard, and his finger joints made a 'crack, crack, crack' sound.

"Yo, there really is a fool who isn't afraid of death!" The young man turned his head and gave a lewd smile to his companion, then turned his head back, cursing while waving the dagger and stabbing fiercely at Zhao De's waist.

Zhao De had experienced such scenes before, so he was naturally not afraid. At that moment, just as the yellow-haired youth stabbed the sharp dagger toward Zhao De's abdomen, in a ten-thousandth of a second, Zhao De's waist dodged rapidly. The yellow-haired youth's dagger missed, and his whole body lunged forward due to inertia. At this moment, Zhao De seized the opportunity, turned ninety degrees, his left hand grabbed the yellow-haired youth's wrist holding the dagger, his body half-suspended, his right arm curled, and he hit the young man's back with his elbow. The force was immense, like a thousand pounds pressing down, causing the yellow-haired youth to be knocked to the ground immediately, letting out a miserable cry of pain. Zhao De's blow was truly not light, hitting the yellow-haired youth's spine directly. The bone-cracking pain made the yellow-haired youth unable to even move on the ground, only able to blow the dust on the ground and cry 'ouch, ouch'.

The other yellow-haired youth who was holding the woman saw his companion knocked down by Zhao De, let go of the woman, picked up half a brick from the ground, and rushed over cursing, but he was only sending himself to death. Zhao De waited calmly for this yellow-haired youth to rush over, then kicked him directly in the face. With a 'ah' scream, the brick in the yellow-haired youth's hand fell to the ground, and he covered his face with both hands, squatting on the ground in pain, blood slowly flowing from between his fingers. With just two simple moves, he had completely made these two yellow-haired youths submit.

"Damn it!" Zhao De spat on the ground. Seeing that the two had no possibility of counterattacking, he walked up swaggeringly and asked the woman who was squatting on the ground, tightly holding her handbag and shivering, "Big sister, are you okay?"

The woman was shivering all over. She raised her head and saw that the two yellow-haired youths were already lying on the ground in a mess. Her panicked and uneasy heart calmed down a little, and she shook her head, saying, "I'm fine, big brother, thank you."

Just as the woman raised her head, Zhao De and the woman were both stunned. It turned out... it turned out that this woman was Ma Lianlian, who had a bit of charm when Zhao De inspected work at the textile factory two days ago. But at this moment, Ma Lianlian's face still had a look of fear, which was completely different from the image of the aggressive shrew with hands on her hips that he had seen at the textile factory that day.

The two were stunned for a while. Ma Lianlian hurriedly stood up from the ground, patted the dust off her body, and said gratefully, "District Head Zhao, I didn't expect it to be you. Thank you for saving me!"

Zhao De was also surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ma Lianlian said, "I just got off work and came back. My home is just ahead."

Zhao De smiled and said, "Then let me take you home."

Ma Lianlian had just been frightened and still had lingering fears, so she didn't refuse and let Zhao De escort her home. On the short journey, Ma Lianlian had a strange feeling in her heart. Being able to have a dignified district head take her home made her feel somewhat flattered. Seeing Zhao De not speaking, Ma Lianlian took the initiative to break the silence and said with a smile, "District Head Zhao, I find that you are different from other leaders."

Hearing Ma Lianlian's words, Zhao De asked with a smile, "How am I different?"

Ma Lianlian smiled and said, "The leaders who came to the factory for inspection in the past were all about forty or fifty years old. You are younger than them, and you are better than those leaders. Our wages have been in arrears for several months, and no leader has been willing to solve it. Since you came, you solved it for us."

After listening to Ma Lianlian's praise, Zhao De smiled and said, "I wasn't pushed to the wall by you all? If I didn't solve it for you, wouldn't you group of female workers have blocked me from leaving?"

Hearing Zhao De's joke, Ma Lianlian couldn't help but laugh. In her impression, big leaders were all the kind of high-and-mighty, overbearing people, but Zhao De gave her a feeling of being very approachable, without any official airs, which unknowingly brought the distance between the two closer.

Before long, Zhao De took Ma Lianlian home. Zhao De wanted to leave, but Ma Lianlian insisted on inviting him into the house for a drink of water before leaving. Looking at this woman who had a bit of charm, Zhao De couldn't help but feel a bit itchy in his heart, so he simply agreed, followed her into the hall, and sat down. While Ma Lianlian went to pour water, Zhao De carefully looked around and saw that Ma Lianlian's family situation was not very good; the furniture in the house was very old, and the furnishings were very simple.

Seeing Zhao De looking around, Ma Lianlian brought over a cup of boiling water and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Leader, the family conditions are not good, don't laugh at me."

"No," Zhao De smiled generously, took the water cup, took a sip, and watched Ma Lianlian sit down opposite him. Although her clothing was very simple, the rhinestone necklace around her neck gave her a touch of nobility amidst simplicity, especially the two collarbones, which were very sexy.

After chatting casually for a while, Zhao De felt a bit curious and asked her, "Why, are there no other people in the family?"

"My husband went to the city to work, taking the children with him, saying that the teaching quality in the city is better," Ma Lianlian explained with a smile.

"Then why don't you go to the city? The efficiency of the textile factory is so poor," Zhao De felt a bit strange.

When asked about this, the expression on Ma Lianlian's face suddenly dimmed. She lowered her head and said, "You don't know, my husband met a woman in the city and doesn't come back much now. I'm also embarrassed to go to the city, so staying at home alone is quite leisurely."

Hearing Ma Lianlian's words, Zhao De couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that every family had its own difficult scriptures to read. The Ma Lianlian he saw at the textile factory that day, with her hands on her hips and looking aggressive, gave a very shrewish image. But contacting her privately, he felt she wasn't shrewish. Perhaps it was his status as district head that made her unable to be shrewish. Zhao De thought this way and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, what's this?" Ma Lianlian raised her head and smiled, as if it didn't matter at all.

Zhao De took the opportunity to pick up the water cup and quietly looked at the woman who still had charm. He saw her face was fair and moist, her pair of willow-leaf eyebrows looked like they were painted, she was wearing a pink coat on her upper body, and a pair of washed-out jeans on her lower body. The whole person looked very upright, and her legs were slender like cones.

Just as Zhao De was looking intently, he suddenly saw Ma Lianlian staring at him with a pair of eyes, which made Zhao De feel a bit dry and hot all over, and sweat beads appeared on the bridge of his nose involuntarily. He hurriedly shifted his gaze away. Ma Lianlian sat on the stool opposite him. The stool was very small. One of her legs was stretched behind, and one leg was slanted and hanging down softly, with her toes touching the ground, her high heels half-worn and half-exposed, revealing half of her heel, balancing the stool. Zhao De lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the small, exquisite leather shoes. The night in March was a bit cold, and Zhao De couldn't help but shiver as he sat. Seeing this, Ma Lianlian asked, "Leader, are you a bit cold? The window is still open." ===== CHAPTER 4763 =====
