Chapter 354: Chapter 353 The girl who saved us last night is… (Extra)

Lu Mian and the others dumped the thief at the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Bureau and withdrew. As always, they swept their sleeves without taking a single cloud away, leaving no trace behind.

However, Guo Shuitian had long been aware that those deeds were her doing.

Dongyang drove Lu Mian home first, dropping her off at the entrance to the Jin City Number One residential complex. Ya Ling jumped out of the car, and Dongyang drove a bit further away.

Ya Ling wrapped herself in a scarf, covering herself tightly. She breathed onto her palms and softly parted her red lips.

“Brother Mian, I heard that those kidnappers have set their sights on you…”

Lu Mian smiled faintly, “That’s not true.”

Ya Ling paused. That damned girl, she’s just worried about getting them involved in another kidnapping case, wasn’t she? But how could they just stand by and watch her face danger alone?

She even had reason to suspect that Lu Mian was being so high-profile at school precisely to lure those people out!

That was definitely something Lu Mian could do.

Now that she had attracted the attention of the other party, was she planning to fight them all by herself?

Ya Ling gave her a hard stare, her emotions somewhat complicated.

“Brother Mian, what are your plans now? What do you need us to do?”

“Nothing at all.” Lu Mian lazily draped her arm over Ya Ling’s shoulder, looking at her seriously, “Things aren’t as bad as you think. Hmm… at most, this is just an appetizer right now.”

Appetizer…

Ya Ling’s lips twitched, so a group of unpredictable kidnappers were just an appetizer to her…

“Brother Mian…”

Ya Ling wanted to say more, but Lu Mian had already interrupted her with a smile, “Go back now! If you really want to do something for me, why not pick up your scalpel again, just in case I get injured one day…”

“Tut!” Ya Ling immediately covered her mouth, “Can you say something nicer?”

Lu Mian looked at her, laughing indulgently, her eyes filled with endless tenderness and watchfulness.

While they talked, Lu Mian saw a car approaching from a distance, slowing down with the intention to stop near them.

“Little Mianmian!” Ye Jinwen shouted from afar, having opened the car window and calling out to them.

Ya Ling narrowed her eyes in that direction, her tone suddenly very light. She casually pulled at her scarf, covering most of her face with an air of weariness.

“I’m leaving first.”

“Yeah, go on.” Lu Mian waved goodbye.

Ya Ling then walked off in the opposite direction.

Ye Jinwen came over to Lu Mian’s side afterward, glancing curiously in the direction Ya Ling had gone, “Little Mianmian, who was that?”

They looked somewhat familiar.

Lu Mian thoughtfully glanced at Ye Jinwen, hooking a smile on her lips and said lightly,

“Someone handing out flyers.”

Ye Jinwen appeared to understand instantly: hand out flyers this late, probably…

“Get in the car, I’ll take you back.”

“It’s just a few steps…”

“Your legs are precious. For these few steps, Brother Seven would hate not to be able to carry you back.” He mumbled under his breath.

Lu Mian was just about to get into the passenger seat and didn’t hear him clearly.

——

The next day.

The school buzz about Lu Mian liking Director Qi had died down quite a bit, everyone enveloped in an indescribable sense of dread and fear.

Class 1 of the first year of high school.

Zhang Wenqiang, pale-faced, finished teaching the first lesson to the students, her expression unfocused.

Before leaving, she remembered something and listlessly told the students a few things.

“Students, make sure to stay with your parents at home in the evenings. If you notice anything unusual, don’t panic or scream, quietly call the police first! The police officers will get to your house as quickly as possible. And don’t fight with thieves or criminals…”

She spoke in a disorganized manner for quite a while.

It wasn’t until the end that everyone learned that their house had been broken into by a thief last night, and her daughter had narrowly escaped danger.

Zhang Wenqiang usually has a rather dominant demeanour, but now she became so rambling, everyone also felt quite sympathetic towards her ordeal.

Some people, out of concern, asked one more question, “Teacher, what happened then? How is your family now?”

“Afterwards, the Guardian God of Wucheng saved my daughter. At that time, my daughter was already scared witless, and the thief had drawn a knife…” Zhang Wenqiang’s voice trembled more and more as she spoke, her face and lips both turning pale.

Anyone who went through such an event would be frightened afterward.

If it weren’t for the timely arrival of Wucheng’s Guardian God, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

When Lu Mian finished class, there was a slightly overweight man in uniform standing at the back door of the classroom.

She was the first to see him and smiled, snapping her fingers at Guo Zihao.

“Chubby Zihao, your dad is here looking for you.”

Chubby Zihao shivered all over, hurriedly stuffed a pile of snacks and novels into his deskmate’s desk cavity, “Why is my dad here, I didn’t do anything excessive just now, did I?”

Lu Mian’s eyebrows arched, “As long as you make some more progress on your final exams, even if you did something, your dad won’t say anything to you.”

“…” Chubby Zihao looked resentful, “Mianmian, you think everyone is like you! How can we improve that easily!”

Shouhao, while stuffing his deskmate’s snacks into his mouth, teased, “How can it not be possible, just let Mianmian drink—”

Chubby Zihao quickly covered his mouth.

Their guilty appearances couldn’t possibly fool Lu Mian, who silently laughed, her ballpoint pen spinning a beautiful flower at her fingertips, then she tilted her head and asked, “Drink what?”

Chubby Zihao blurted out, “I’m going to see my dad,” and drifted away like the wind.

Shouhao, mouth agape, stuttered for a while before finally saying, “Let you and Yuanyuan join forces to write a set of revision materials, everyone in the class’s grades would definitely shoot up!”

Lu Mian smiled faintly, her eyelids lazily fluttering.

“Yuanyuan is very busy, don’t bother her for nothing!”

Shouhao: …Yuanyuan is the boss!

However, not long after Chubby Zihao had rushed out, he floated back in, pointing outside, “Mianmian, it’s not me he’s looking for! It’s you!”

He looked as if he had dodged a bullet.

Lu Mian seemed to know something, her expression resigned as she slowly made her way out.

Guo Shuitian took her downstairs.

“Lu Mian, about last night…”

Lu Mian was completely unabashed, and even quite liked this situation, “Ah, it was me. If it’s a gang committing the crime, you should be able to trace their connections and catch them all.”

Guo Shuitian was embarrassed, “Yes, yes, the investigation is already under way.”

While they were talking, they heard the girl opposite them leisurely shaking her head, “Your speed is a bit slow.”

It was probably the first time Guo Shuitian had been directly criticized for his work efficiency being slow, and by a young girl at that, yet oddly enough, he had immense respect for this girl. It was because of her that he wore this uniform.

“That…,” he began, wanting to revisit old matters.

But Lu Mian was indifferent, “Chief Guo, if you don’t have anything else, I’ll go back to my class.”

“Hey, you—”

Guo Shuitian hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Mian had just turned around, and a figure hurried towards them from not far away.

“Chief Guo!” Zhang Wenqiang called out excitedly, and upon seeing Lu Mian, while walking over, she started to mock with a sneer, “Yo, the top student is being taken out for questioning again!”

Lu Mian furrowed her brow.

Guo Shuitian was puzzled.

Zhang Wenqiang, however, was somewhat pleased as she scoffed, “Always not studying properly, leading kids astray, you’ve brought shame all the way to the Criminal Investigation Department! Someone with your kind of character really should be locked up for some proper reformation!”

After finishing her rant, she looked up at Guo Shuitian eagerly yet sincerely changed the topic.

“Chief Guo, have you found out who the Guardian God of Wucheng is? The young girl who saved us last night!”
