My Life with Narration-Chapter 222 - 221: Our Momentum Must Not Falter

This is the characteristic of an excess of male hormones, liking to show off in front of the opposite sex.

Faced with danger, if you talk about money, he'll definitely weigh the pros and cons, consider what's more important, money or life. But if you mention a girl, that'll just hit his soft spot.

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, someone immediately patted his chest, expressing his willingness to help.

It's not surprising that Wang Xing thought this way, after all, the best example is right around him. What was the difference with Su Qing back then? Wasn't it because he got lucky after saving that rich lady, Shen Yi?

Now they even live next door. Wang Xing didn't even dare to dream of such a good thing happening. Ever since, he couldn't help but wonder where he differs from Qingzi. After thinking it through, he realized they just needed an opportunity, a damsel-in-distress opportunity.

Of course, Wang Xing didn't take it seriously when he agreed, until the two of them followed Sun Mumu and got on the subway together.

"Qingzi, are you for real?" Between two subway cars, Wang Xing shrunk his body and whispered.

Su Qing was also looking at Sun Mumu, who was holding onto a handle in the other car, and nodded: "What do you think?"

"Did your fortune-telling instinct kick in again? Tell me, what did you foresee this time?" Wang Xing was a little convinced about those unusual traits of his.

Until now, he still didn't understand how Su Qing knew Li Zijun would encounter danger. For this, he even spent more than ten yuan and shook the store gate fortune sticks several times without figuring it out.

"Fortune-telling my ass, I got some info from the police station that the east suburbs have been restless lately, especially dangerous for single girls living alone. Look at Mumu, a little girl going home by herself and living in the east suburbs, isn't it too risky?" Su Qing replied.

It has to be said, even though he wasn't a cop, his honorary position at the police station was really useful. This way, even if Old Lin and others asked later, he could find an excuse. At worst, it would be a coincidence, what can anyone say?

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Xing suddenly understood. So there was inside information.

"Wait a minute, how do you know she's in danger?"

"Who said she's in danger, we're just going to take a look, escorting a female colleague home, what an honorable task!" Su Qing denied it.

At this, Wang Xing took a deep breath and pointed at him, fingers trembling: "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?"

Su Qing: "I've had my fill of sour plum snacks already!"

"Seriously, it's just because of a hunch, and so we're here? Are you bored or something? What are the odds, you tell me, and what if, after we stroll around, she gets home safely? What then, head back the same way?" Wang Xing said surprisingly.

This is actually how a normal person would think, after all, the odds are too low to trouble them to make such a trip.

"What else, if there's something, you go ahead, I'll let you be the hero, saving the beauty. If not, we'll each go our own way!"

"Qingzi, you're a tough one, if all perverts had your patience, the police would never catch them," Wang Xing sighed.

"Turn around! Quick!" Su Qing whispered sharply.

Meanwhile, Lin Miaomiao in the carriage felt like she was being watched. She glanced towards the front of the car but saw nothing.

"We have reached the terminal station, please exit the train in an orderly fashion from the right side doors, thank you."

At this time, the subway arrived at the station. This was the last stop on the line in the suburbs, and there were not many people around.

The two of them got off the train following Lin Miaomiao, keeping a distance.

Just out of the subway station, it started to drizzle. Lin Miaomiao calmly took out an umbrella from her bag and waited for the bus under the sign.

Once Lin Miaomiao boarded the bus, the two hurriedly flagged down a taxi and followed. Three stops later, they reached the far edge of the east suburb of Jiangcheng City.

Surrounding them were old residential areas, even private houses. This place wasn't far from their university back in the day, but neither had ever been here.

Lin Miaomiao walked into an alley made up of rows of low houses. A little further, a low building could be seen.

Seeing this, the two followed from a distance.

"Qingzi, are you sure we don't look like perverts doing this?" Wang Xing asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing rubbed his palms together. The light rain made him a bit uneasy. It was hard to say if it was because of the rain or some rumored demolition plans for the area, but there were only a few lights among the many low houses.

"Whether or not we look like perverts, we're already here. Let's make sure she gets home safely, isn't that enough?"

"I still don't know why you're doing this, don't become paranoid just because you went to the police station once," Wang Xing said impatiently.

"Better safe than sorry. What if something really happens?"

"Something happens? I'm filled with resentment that even ghosts might fear me!"

Su Qing: ...

Just as they were talking, in the distance, a shadowy figure appeared not far behind Lin Miaomiao in the alley but didn't make a move, just followed.

They were a bit far away, couldn't see clearly, but indeed there was someone there.

"Qing... Qingzi, there's really someone, what do we do?" Wang Xing stammered, pointing ahead.

But at this moment, Su Qing wasn't available to pay attention to his words.

[Target has appeared, Lian Yong, 28 years old, unemployed, middle school education, has a switchblade at his waist, and possesses inhalant anesthetics in his pocket...]

The voiceover started babbling, but Su Qing at the back wasn't listening at all, just knowing that the target had appeared.

"What to do? Of course, call the police and get backup!"

"Huh? Aren't we going to go up and take him on?"

"Who knows what's going on right now, what if it's a misunderstanding?" Su Qing gave him a sidelong glance, but he was already sure of the target, only that this person was a bit dangerous, and he didn't dare to go up.

"Hey Sister Zijun, I'm on the east side of town, and I've noticed someone stalking a colleague of mine. I suspect it's the person you're looking for."

He briefly explained the situation he encountered, and even though this speculation lacked evidence, the police were recently investigating this case, and since it was in the area they were closely observing, they naturally took it seriously.

In the rental room, upon hearing this, Li Zijun instantly stood up.

"Are you sure? Alright, don't act recklessly, I'll contact Du Qiang. He's been patrolling near the eastern outskirts recently."

Soon, Du Qiang, who was patrolling nearby, received the message and hurried over.

Meanwhile, Lin Miaomiao was still unaware of the impending danger. The young girl was optimistic, holding an umbrella in one hand and using her phone's flashlight to walk home.

Even in the endlessly rainy and dark alleys, she wasn't scared at all, seemingly accustomed to such an environment.

Not far behind her, a man wearing a black mask and a windbreaker was staring at her intensely. The mask and the hood of the jacket covered him tightly, leaving only his eyes, which were filled with greed.

[Lin Miaomiao will be attacked in two minutes. Attention, the target will make a move in two minutes!]

Hearing the voiceover in his head, Su Qing grew anxious and could only hang back nervously urging,

"Brother Qiang, hurry, are you there yet!"

"Almost there, don't act rashly!" Du Qiang said as he checked the real-time location on his phone while quickly running through the alley since the car couldn't go in.

Although this was probably a false alarm and not even certain if this was the person they were looking for, Du Qiang had an inexplicable trust in Su Qing, feeling that this guy had a sharper mind than him, with some skills.

As time passed by the second, the countdown in Su Qing's mind never ceased. Finally, when passing by a dim alley, a figure sprang out, grabbed Lin Miaomiao from behind, and covered her mouth with a towel, dragging her into a side alley.

Lin Miaomiao's mind went blank for a moment, her body instinctively resisted, but her petite frame was no match for the person behind her, and a huge fear swept over her.

Even worse, with every breath she took, her body felt heavier.

Su Qing kept his eyes on the movements ahead. As soon as the man acted, he couldn't wait any longer for Du Qiang to arrive, and rushed forward with Wang Xing.

They both shone their flashlights and shouted:

"Let go of that girl!"

"Brother Qiang, we're here!!!"

Du Qiang, who was already extremely close, heard the shout and sprinted with full force; years of police academy training showed at this moment.

When Su Qing and Wang Xing arrived at the ambush site, Du Qiang, panting, emerged from the other side dressed in a police uniform.

The two exchanged glances, and Su Qing was instantly delighted, feeling that Brother Qiang was reliable.

Everything seemed slow, but it all took just about ten seconds. Without a pause, the trio charged into the alley with their flashlights on.

They saw a heavily disguised figure covering a girl's mouth with a towel. The man's eyes were filled with panic and shock as he looked at the three, while Lin Miaomiao's struggle was already very weak, indicating she was on the verge of fainting.

"Stop, police!"

A loud shout startled the man, who immediately let go, turned to run, but unfortunately, though it wasn't a dead end, there was a low wall behind him, making it impossible to escape.

The man decisively pulled a switchblade from behind and grabbed Lin Miaomiao again, yelling:

"Back off, all of you back off!"

Lin Miaomiao, released, felt her head spinning, and in a few seconds, she would be completely unconscious, could only softly call for help.

Seeing the knife in the man's hand, Du Qiang immediately halted and spread his arms to block the two, taking out his badge and shouted:

"Police, release the hostage, don't act rashly!"

Seeing this, Su Qing also took out the special consultant certificate from his pocket and said: "Buddy, surrender, the place is surrounded by the police, you won't get away!"

Wang Xing, seeing the two acting so, patted his body and finally took out his ID, gesturing but not knowing what to say, could only keep silent.

Anyway, all three of us have credentials, can't lose the momentum.
