Chapter 29: Chapters 26-27 Rescue_2

Moreover, the young man’s courage was too great, wasn’t it? Just now, that situation was so dangerous. Even if he wanted to play the hero and save the beauty, he didn’t need to be so reckless, did he? Could it really be that lust had clouded his judgement?

The onlookers, while relieved that the girl had escaped death, couldn’t help but be secretly shocked by Xiao Yi’s agility and bravery.

Xiao Yi naturally did not know what the spectators were thinking, and even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared. He looked back at the girl to see if she seemed unharmed, then let go of her, stood up, dusted himself off, and thoughtfully watched the battered van that had missed its target and was now speeding away in a change of direction.

"Classmate, thank you for saving my life just now!"

The pretty girl finally snapped back to reality, realizing that the young man before her had saved her life in a very critical moment. She struggled to stand up and looked at Xiao Yi with gratitude.

"No need, you all better be careful. That car was aiming for you specifically. My bus has arrived, I have to go first."

Xiao Yi casually waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, but still shared what he had observed just now. Then he quickly stepped onto the bus that had just passed the scene with the van, which was now fortunately stopped at the station for Book City.

"Who on earth is this son of a bitch who ruined the boss’s plans!"

On the speeding van on the street, the driver, with a fierce look, clenched his teeth and smashed his fist into the steering wheel, cursing resentfully.

But as much as he cursed, looking in the rearview mirror at the bus station growing distant, he knew that this operation had failed.

It took him a while to calm down, then he took out a mobile phone and dialed a number.

"How did it go, Scar? Did you manage it?"

A very deep voice came from the phone.

"Brother Hao, it was almost sorted, but some unexpected event occurred. Just as I was about to succeed, some damn kid came out of nowhere and rescued the two girls."

Scar said bitterly.

"Hmm? Who was it, did you get a good look?"

"Got a clear look, a stinky kid around twenty, looked like a student, not sure if he’s the girls’ bodyguard or something."

"Are you sure he was about twenty?"

"Sure, Brother Hao, I specifically stopped and took a good look at him before leaving, definitely not a mistake, not older than twenty-five at most."

Scar recalled the appearance of the kid and said through gritted teeth.

"Oh?"

"Brother Hao, what do we do now?"

Scar asked.

"You come back first, don’t go out for activities recently, and later tell me about the person who saved those two girls."

"Yes, Brother Hao, I’ll come back right away."

Scar nodded, hung up the phone, then fiercely pressed down on the accelerator and swerved the steering wheel, veering into another lane, narrowly missing a collision with a nearby Chevrolet, causing the Chevrolet driver to turn pale and curse loudly.

At the bus station, the beautiful girl who had just been rescued by Xiao Yi watched him dash onto the bus. Her face quickly regained color from its pallor, and a glimpse of strength and calmness that is uncommon in girls who had just survived a life-threatening ordeal appeared in her eyes. Anger flashed across her face as she felt the bus whisk past and charged forward. Suddenly, she lifted her head, watching the bus plunge forward, her eyes filled with gratitude. After a while, she lowered her head silently, picked up the books from the ground, hugged them to her chest, and continued walking forward.

Upon boarding the bus, Xiao Yi found a window seat and sat down. The menacing, fierce look that the van driver had shot at him as he left flashed through his mind. He faintly felt that saving the girl might have attracted some unwanted trouble.

But, could he really have just watched as the beautiful girl was hit by that old van?

Soon, Xiao Yi shook his head with a wry smile. The answer was clear: he could not. His actions had already spoken for him; he had leapt into action without any thought or hesitation. In fact, he hadn’t had any time to hesitate.

The old man was right after all, Xiao Yi thought to himself with a wry smile, at heart, he was indeed a soft-hearted person.

He tried not to think about the incident anymore, raised his eyes to check the bus route, counted the stops to Book City—there were at least fifteen; it wasn’t going to be a quick trip. He simply closed his eyes to rest.

But just as Xiao Yi had closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a gaze stealthily directed at him. Surprised, he thought, could his luck really be this good? Was this his first time catching a bus thief in G City on his first ride?

Perplexed, he turned his head toward the sensation and met that gaze head-on.

The other party, feeling Xiao Yi’s gaze, not only did not avoid it but also stared back fiercely, filled with resentment.

Recognizing the person spying on him, Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback; it was the same pickpocket who had tried and failed to steal his wallet on the train and had been caught attempting to steal someone else’s by Wang Qingqing. The scene had been thwarted by Xiao Yi himself.

After a moment of surprise, he immediately understood. Although the youth had been taken away by the security last time, the charges weren’t serious due to the lack of clean evidence and the relatively small amount involved, which probably resulted in just a criminal or civil detention. Such a detention could often be escaped with a little money.

Seeing how this young man seemed to be back to his old tricks on this bus, Xiao Yi thought, he really did have some nerve. He had just been released, and here he was, daring to commit another theft so soon. But, it seemed he was really fated with Xiao Yi, or maybe just extremely unlucky. Perhaps today was this young man’s first operation since his release, and he had run into Xiao Yi again?

Amused, Xiao Yi thought whether he should play a little trick on the young man and send him back in.

However, this idea was just a fleeting thought in his mind; he wasn’t so idle as to spend his days monitoring a thief, and he wasn’t a police officer with the duty and responsibility to catch thieves. He had interfered last time only because the thief had tried to rob him first, and he had particularly disliked the thief’s arrogant demeanor even after stealing.

With a faint smile and ignoring the malevolent look in the thief’s eyes, he simply turned his head and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
