With Xiao Qiang around, even the most troubling emotions would be disrupted. Xiao Qian felt much better now.
Seeing her laugh, Yu Minglang felt relieved. As long as she could always laugh, what was there to lose by being thick-skinned?
He was willing to use everything to exchange for her bright smile.
Suddenly, Yu Minglang slammed on the brakes. Xiao Qian opened her eyes and glared at him in displeasure. What was he up to now?
âStay in the car and donât move. No matter what happens, donât make a sound.â Yu Minglang, with a serious expression, said cautiously.
Xiao Qian noticed that something was wrong and sat up as well.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âThereâs a suspicious figure up ahead. Iâm going to take a look.â
âBe careful!â Xiao Qian said nervously.
âItâs fine. Just remember to close the car windows and donât open them no matter what happens, and call Da Guang with my phone.â
After giving instructions, Yu Minglang got out of the car. Xiao Qian locked the doors and didnât dare to turn on the car lights for fear of alarming the person ahead.
She dialed the phone while watching Yu Minglang.
His figure vanished into the darkness, and the time displayed on Xiao Qianâs phone was already past 2 AM.
At this time, there were no vehicles on the road. Ahead was a residential area that looked very ordinary. Xiao Qian had not received any training and was not able to spot anything unusual like Yu Minglang, but she had unconditional trust in him.
The call was quickly connected, and Xiao Qian told Da Guang the situation. He said he would arrive in 3 minutes.
The entire city was on high alert, and there were mobile patrols on nearly all the main roads.
However, the suspect was unlucky enough to avoid the patrol cars but not Yu Minglangâs sharp eyes.
Due to the broken streetlights and the darkness of the night, Xiao Qian could no longer see what was happening up ahead after Yu Minglang ran off, so she could only wait in the car anxiously.
These few minutes felt incredibly long. Although Xiao Qian knew that Yu Minglang was very skilled and could handle most common thieves, she was still worried.
What if the other party had weapons? What if there were more people? What if the other party was a knife-wielding bad guy? Would Yu Minglang be injuredâ¦
The sounds from outside interrupted Xiao Qianâs terrifying imagination.
Yu Minglangâs powerful voice rang out.
âI dare you to run again!â
âEldest Brother, I was wrong!â
Xiao Qian hurriedly turned on the car lights, and not far in front of her, Yu Minglang was dragging a man over. The man looked thin and shriveled, with a sly and suspicious look, definitely not a good guy.
At this moment, Lin Zeguang also arrived.
âMing Lang, whatâs going on?â Lin Zeguang got out of the car and went straight to Yu Minglang.
Yu Minglang pointed at the sleazy man he had apprehended and said, âI saw this guy sneaking around and climbing up the burglar-proof window with his bare hands, and he also had a knife on him.â
Sure enough, there was a knife on the sleazy manâs waist. Lin Zeguang, with a sharp gaze, immediately ordered his subordinates to arrest him.
âBrothers, itâs my first time committing a crime. I heard from my fellow villagers that this line of work makes good money. I just wanted to steal some stuff and didnât mean to hurt anyone. I got caught on my first day of committing a crime. Everything I said is true!â
Yu Minglang, seeing the manâs bulging pockets, reached out and grabbed them, then with a clatterâ¦
Xiao Qian couldnât quite see Yu Minglangâs expression from the car since he was facing sideways, and she was a little far away.
A variety of large underpants lay on the ground, and Yu Minglang should have a disgusted expression at the moment.
âDo you have anything else to say!â Lin Zeguang, seeing the womenâs clothing littering the ground, looked at the suspect who was caught red-handed with a disdainful expression.
It was summer, and many people slept with their windows open at night, giving these bad guys an opportunity.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Some people in certain areas were especially good at climbing, and the residential buildings nowadays all have external burglar-proof windows. These bad guys would take advantage of the deep, quiet night to climb up the burglar-proof windows.
âWhere did you get these clothes from, and what else did you do besides stealing these?â Lin Zeguang sternly questioned.
The thief who was caught climbing the building was a timid one. He immediately knelt down, âI swiped them from the second floor, and I was trying to climb up to the fourth floor. I got caught by this uncle before I could do anything else. I really didnât have a chance to do anything!â
Lin Zeguang looked at Yu Minglang.
He gave his subordinates a signal, and the two men quickly pinned down the thief. Lin Zeguang walked over to Yu Minglang to speak with him. Yu Minglang had originally wanted to bring the person to the car to talk, but remembering Xiao Meiâs condition, he was afraid that his old classmate would notice something and led him to the other side instead.
âThis guy doesnât look like the one weâre looking for.â Although Lin Zeguang had not interrogated him yet, the thief appeared to be just a small-time one devoid of courage to provoke.
âDefinitely not.â Yu Minglang also realized that the one who kneeled down at the sight of people was just an ordinary thief.
âWhat are you doing here?â Lin Zeguang looked Yu Minglang up and down.
Although it was common for men to be shirtless in summer, he knew Yu Minglang for so long and had never seen him so casual. Suddenly, Lin Zeguangâs eyes focused on a certain part of Yu Minglangâs shoulder.
With his wealth of experience in handling cases, he could tell at a glance that it had just been scratched.
âIâm out for a drive at night with my fiancée, is that not allowed?â Yu Minglang raised his chin and said haughtily.
âTaking a drive is fineâ¦â
Yu Minglang turned around, âIâm leaving him with you guys, you can go back to interrogate him. Iâm going home.â
âHey, old classmate!â Lin Zeguang stopped Yu Minglang.
âHuh?â Yu Minglang turned around, and Lin Zeguang threw something at him, which he caught with his other hand.
Chocolate?
âYou need to replenish your energy after exercising.â Lin Zeguang gestured towards his own shoulder with his thumb, and Yu Minglang looked down.
Damn.
