Chapter 6: The brave teenager

Before the three of them could react, they saw a figure suddenly rush past them.

A girl in a white dress five meters away was so anxious her eyes were red, wanting to chase but unable to catch up.

Lu Yan He didn't even think and rushed toward that person.

But he overestimated the quality of this body of his.

Fortunately, Yan Liang was there.

This person who went for a morning run every day caught the bag snatcher within twenty meters and pressed him to the ground.

"You still want to run!" Yan Liang subdued the person on the ground, pressing his body fiercely so he couldn't move.

Lu Yan He and Li Zhibai followed closely.

The girl whose bag was snatched caught up, panting, took back her bag, and thanked the three boys.

Only then did she realize that these three enthusiastic boys... were all quite handsome?!

Her eyes lit up, and a shy look appeared on her face.

"Should we call the police?" Lu Yan He asked.

Yan Liang said: "Of course we should call the police for someone who snatches other people's things in broad daylight!"

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Let me go, I won't dare to do it next time!" the person subdued by Yan Liang on the ground hurriedly begged for mercy.

Just then, a female voice that Lu Yan He found somewhat familiar sounded.

"What are you doing? Fighting in a group?"

Lu Yan He looked up and saw the first person he had met since coming to this world—Officer Qiu Ling.

"Officer Qiu!"

Qiu Ling recognized Lu Yan He and showed a look of surprise.

The girl whose bag was snatched hurriedly stood up and explained what had happened.

"These few people helped me catch this robber! They weren't fighting in a group."

Qiu Ling heard the whole story, immediately took out her phone, and made a call.

After a while, a police car drove over, two police officers got out, and took the person into the car.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to come with us to make a statement."

"We have things to do this afternoon, he has nothing to do this afternoon, why don't you let him go with you," Yan Liang said, pointing to Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai immediately expressed his unhappiness.

"Why should I be the only one to go? Don't pass the buck so quickly."

The two police officers looked at Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling said: "You take him and this girl back first."

The two police officers obviously followed Qiu Ling's instructions and immediately left with the person according to what she said.

Today, Qiu Ling wasn't wearing a police uniform, but a light blue dress, elegant and intellectual.

Now Li Zhibai and Yan Liang knew she was a police officer.

Li Zhibai arched his eyebrows, poked Lu Yan He with his hand, looked at him and Qiu Ling, and said: "Old Lu, when did you meet such a beautiful police sister?"

Lu Yan He stood a step to the side.

"Officer Qiu helped me last night, that's how we met."

Qiu Ling crossed her arms and looked at them.

"Are they all your teammates?" she asked Lu Yan He.

On the way back last night, out of curiosity, she searched for Lu Yan He and learned about the Fengzhi group.

Lu Yan He nodded.

Qiu Ling nodded, her elder tone very strong.

"Still haven't gone astray, knowing how to be brave for a just cause."

Li Zhibai said: "Of course, we are all upright and patriotic young people."

Qiu Ling asked: "What are you three doing here?"

"Coming to eat," Li Zhibai said. "Officer Qiu alone? Why don't you eat with us? You're Little Lu's friend, so you're my friend. I'll treat you."

Qiu Ling smiled, seemingly amused by Li Zhibai's tone of a teenager pretending to be an adult.

"Thank you for your kindness. But I have an appointment, forget it," she waved her hand. "You are also public figures. I know you might be wary of entering the police station. If there's anything you need to come and clarify later, I'll contact you."

After speaking, she left.

Li Zhibai stared at Qiu Ling, unable to take his eyes off her for a long time.

"So cool," he said.

Yan Liang looked strange: "Contact us? She doesn't have our contact information, how can she contact us?"

Lu Yan He: "Uh, she left mine and Brother Ping'an's last night."

"Ah?" Yan Liang looked at him in confusion. "How did this happen?"

Originally, Lu Yan He didn't want Yan Liang and Li Zhibai to know so many details, but it didn't seem right not to explain it now, so he had to tell them about someone pushing him into the water.

Yan Liang and Li Zhibai stared at him in unison.

"Someone pushed you into the river? Who? So crazy?" Li Zhibai asked.

Lu Yan He shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't see anyone, and the surveillance didn't capture it."

"Damn, who is so crazy? Why did you go to the river?" Li Zhibai asked.

Lu Yan He explained: "Yesterday I received a letter, asking me to meet by the river."

"An anonymous letter?" Yan Liang asked.

"Yes."

"Then you went? That clearly meant there was a ghost."

Lu Yan He smiled and didn't say anything more.

It wasn't good to tell them more details.

That anonymous letter said this matter was related to the death of his parents.

That was why the original owner, despite his heavy doubts, still went to the appointment, only to be pushed into the water.

This was premeditated murder.

"Don't talk about this anymore, I'm so hungry, let's eat."

Li Zhibai took them into a small western-style house in front.

This three-story small western-style house was a newly opened restaurant.

The three of them were dumbfounded as soon as they entered, because the people who came to this restaurant were basically in a one-man, one-woman configuration, and only they were three men together.

The three of them sneaked into a corner seat. That seat was against a window on one side, against a wall on two sides, and blocked by a row of green plants on the last side, with good concealment.

Li Zhibai ordered the food and handed the menu to Yan Liang and Lu Yan He. "You guys see what else to add."

Yan Liang said: "Enough."

Lu Yan He said: "Add more if it's not enough."

Li Zhibai added two more dishes himself, "I hate you guys being so polite."

"I'm going to the restroom," Yan Liang said.

As soon as he left, Li Zhibai asked: "You didn't explain in detail just now. You went to an appointment in the middle of the night just because you received an anonymous letter. Why? What was written in the letter?"

Lu Yan He didn't expect Li Zhibai to keep asking about this.

He struggled with how to brush it off.

"Uh, just—"

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, forget it. Don't make up excuses to fool me," Li Zhibai saw through Lu Yan He's mind. "But after such a thing happened, don't forget the lesson, don't take risks next time."

Lu Yan He said: "I know."

"You said you wanted to study seriously, is that true?" Li Zhibai asked in disbelief.

Lu Yan He said: "Anyway, I can't get other work now, so I'll just study hard."

Li Zhibai said: "Should I go talk to Zhou Ping'an and let him give you the opportunity to go on 'Supernova Games'?"

"Forget it, he won't agree, no need for that."

Zhou Ping'an already had the idea of terminating the contract with him, so how could he be willing to give him such a work opportunity.
