Chapter 541: Hero or Elite

Not knowing what happened after he left, following the good habit that a mission should have a beginning and an end, Li Ang found the mission target again according to the location in his soul vision.

Hmm... I didn't look closely when I saved her earlier, but this daughter of the Charle Department Store owner, her back looks a bit familiar?

Looking at the woman who was sticking her butt up and climbing on the iron fence, trying several times but failing to climb out, Li Ang hesitated slightly and then tried to ask:

"Miss Amy?"

"Ah!"

Hearing the voice behind her, the woman on the fence panicked, her left foot, which was barely stepping on the fence, slipped, and she fell backward with a scream.

"Careful!"

Seeing her head-first posture, worried she would get hurt, Li Ang rushed forward two steps and caught her with both arms. After helping the pale-faced, doll-faced girl stand steady, seeing her still terrified look, Li Ang comforted her:

"Don't worry, Miss Amy, the Ma Sai Ni family's matter has been solved, you are very safe now."

"I... Mr. Li Ang?"

After finally seeing Li Ang's face, Amy, who had calmed down, was startled and then seemed to understand something, saying with surprise:

"Just now... was it you? Did you save me?"

"It was me."

Looking at this familiar doll face, Li Ang was also surprised:

"You are actually the daughter of the Charle Department Store owner?"

"I... I really am. Sorry, I didn't tell you before..."

After answering Li Ang's question with a stutter, the doll-faced girl, who had accumulated a belly full of questions, asked with a complex expression:

"Just now... how did you disappear with a 'whoosh'? Also, did you put bombs on the wall? Why did the wall explode wherever you went? And also, also..."

"This... how about tomorrow? Your family must be worried sick. I'll send you home now, and I'll tell you tomorrow."

Throwing out "tomorrow for sure" as an answer again, because he refused to answer her questions, Li Ang also found it inconvenient to ask his own questions. He grabbed the railing, pretended to exert force, and then secretly used the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant to bend the railing, opening a gap wide enough for a person to pass through. He pulled the doll-faced girl and ducked out.

Phew... finally escaped!

Although it was just passing through one more fence, for Amy, who had been locked up for several days, this was a complete escape from the symbol of the Ma Sai Ni family.

After breathing a sigh of relief unconsciously, she patted her flat chest, then secretly looked at the back of a certain man, feeling her heart beating slightly faster.

First, because of the department store incident, she found a man who looked very suitable to be a husband and was just about to move over to be his neighbor to deepen her understanding, but she was kidnapped on the way to move.

Then she was locked in a dark little black room, spent a few days in fear, and was finally saved. And the person who saved her happened to be the man she had her eye on!

Oh my, this is really...

Although his way of saving her wasn't carrying her like a princess, but carrying her like a sack, almost making her vomit, this should count as a hero saving a beauty, right?

Secretly holding the hand that was pulling her tighter, feeling the warmth that brought an inexplicable sense of security, Amy couldn't help but blush and whisper:

"Mr. Li Ang, thank you for saving me! I will definitely repay you well!" "This won't be necessary."

Hearing her words, Li Ang, who was waiting for a car by the roadside, shook his head and answered quite honestly:

"The reason I came to save you was mainly because your father found our Bureau and hoped we could help, and then the Director assigned the mission of saving you to me. As for the reward for saving you, your father has already paid it in advance."

"I see..."

The style of the hero saving a beauty suddenly turned into a workplace elite. The doll-faced girl's face fell, and more than half of the pink bubbles in her mind were popped. However, hearing Li Ang mention Old Charle, her expression became nervous again, and she bit her lip and asked with some worry:

"By the way, my parents must have been worried sick during the few days I was kidnapped. Are they okay now?"

"I haven't seen them, but there shouldn't be any big problems."

Li Ang thought for a moment and answered:

"After your father came to the door, our Director asked someone to investigate his situation. He said that although your father was a bit haggard, his spirit was quite good. Your mother was sick from excessive worry, but it wasn't serious. I guess she'll be fine when you go back."

As long as they are fine...

After asking about her parents' situation, the doll-faced girl felt slightly relieved, then bit her lip again and tentatively invited:

"Mr. Li Ang, you helped my family so much, so... if it's convenient for you, can you come to my house as a guest in two days? I want to thank you properly."

In two days... that's exactly the day of the Bobby Laien family's title succession ceremony, and the Bureau's investigator is estimated to arrive tomorrow morning. It definitely won't work.

"Doesn't seem convenient."

Li Ang thought for a moment and shook his head:

"I happen to have something to do in two days, so I shouldn't have the time. And you really don't need to thank me... Oh right, do you have any money on you?"

"Ah? Yes, yes!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, the doll-faced girl hurriedly searched and took out an exquisite leather wallet from her skirt pocket, took out a stack of bearer checks with a face value of 10 gold wheels, and handed them over, then said with some embarrassment:

"I was kidnapped a bit suddenly, I didn't bring much money. Is this enough?"

"..."

Forget it... pretend I didn't ask.

Looking at the checks in front of him that were enough to pay his salary for more than half a year, Li Ang was silent for a while, then pushed the checks back speechlessly. He fumbled in his pocket, found that the number of copper wheels was not enough, and had to take out a silver wheel and hand it to her, then pointed to the approaching steam carriage and instructed:

"I'm not going the same way as you. When the carriage comes, you can take it directly home. Remember to hide your checks on the way, don't get kidnapped again just after I saved you.

Also, from Red Cedar Avenue to the headquarters of Charle Department Store, it's a little over nine kilometers. 5 kilometers costs 2 copper wheels, and the remaining four kilometers cost 1 copper wheel per kilometer. If you get off half a street early, it only costs 6 copper wheels... forget it, give me back the money!"

Although in the past few contacts, he felt she wasn't the kind of young lady who didn't know the world, but the fact that she took out his annual salary in one go still gave Li Ang a huge shock, worried that she would really do something like paying the carriage fare with a check.

After handing the silver wheel to the carriage driver and asking for the change of three copper wheels in advance, Li Ang carefully recorded the number on the tail of the steam carriage. Only then did he send the doll-faced girl away with peace of mind. Then, he hailed another carriage, sat on it, and counted out a handful of copper wheels to the carriage driver.

"No. 35 Bridge Street, Happiness Apartment."
