Chapter 56 He still cares about her.
Actually, Lin Shuyao wasn't so scared when she saw Cheng Zheng appear.
Feeling the burning heat falling on her back, she smiled. It seemed he still cared about her.
Lin Shuyao instantly regained her confidence.
Cheng Zheng's hand lingered on her back for a moment before he gentlemanly released it. He coughed lightly twice, straightened her coat, and covered her completely inside, leaving only her fair face exposed.
While adjusting his coat, he accidentally aggravated the wound on his arm. He didn't show much expression on his face, but his brow furrowed slightly.
Lin Shuyao raised her small face, just in time to observe the subtle change in his expression. Her slender white fingers peeked out from under his coat and gently pulled his arm to check: "Were you hurt just now? Let me see."
Through his military green shirt, she couldn't see his wound at all, her face filled with anxiety.
"I'm fine." Cheng Zheng stiffly pulled his arm back. Seeing this, Lin Shuyao became even more certain, "You must be injured. Take it off and let me see."
"Take care of them first." Cheng Zhen looked at the two thugs on the ground, howling in pain.
Lin Shuyao: "Just hand them over to the police. I suspect they were acting under someone's orders."
Cheng Zheng frowned seriously: "What do you mean?"
Lin Shu-yao: "Just now, when I was walking on the street, a child suddenly bumped into me. That child snatched my lunchbox and ran into this alley, and that's when I ran into these two thugs..."
As soon as Lin Shuyao finished speaking, a childish voice rang out: "Uncle Policeman, it's those two!"
A thin little boy led two men in white police uniforms toward them.
Lin Shuyao looked up and exclaimed, "Oh no, isn't that the little brat who just snatched my lunchbox? The aluminum lunchbox he's holding is the one he took from me!"
"You brat! You stole my things and almost got me bullied by those two hooligans!" Lin Shuyao was furious and grabbed the little brat's ear to argue with him.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, sister... let me explain..." the little boy cried out in pain. Lin Shuyao released her grip, her almond-shaped eyes wide as she glared at him. "Fine, let's see how you try to deny it! You dare say you didn't deliberately lead me into this alley?"
The little boy pointed at the two thugs on the ground: "They gave me two candies and asked me to lead you into the alley. They said they wanted to be your friends, and I thought they really wanted to get to know you. I didn't expect these two to be bad people. When I saw them bullying you, I quickly ran to call the police."
Two police officers confirmed the boy's statement: "It was indeed this child who ran to the nearby police station and told us that there were two hooligans harassing a woman."
"Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't know they were bad people, and I shouldn't have led you here just to get a couple of candies."
The little boy lowered his head in remorse, but Lin Shuyao showed no sign of forgiveness. If Cheng Zheng hadn't arrived in time, she would have already been harassed by the thugs.
Although the little boy had a change of heart in time, it was ultimately too late.
"Sister, this is your lunchbox. I haven't touched anything inside. Here you go, I'm sorry."
Lin Shuyao snorted, took the lunchbox, put it in her bag, looked at the two police officers, and explained the whole story again, "Comrades, I suspect that these two people are acting under someone's orders. The person who ordered them should be a colleague from our factory who has a conflict of interest with me."
Cheng Zheng stepped forward and said, "I am the factory representative of Factory 306. This is Comrade Shen Qing from our factory. We are ready to cooperate with any investigations you may have."
"Okay, let's take these two back for questioning first." The policeman pulled the two thugs off the ground, untied the belts binding their wrists, handcuffed them, and gestured to Cheng Zheng and Lin Shuyao, "You two come back with us to give a statement."
The group went to the police station.
Lin Shuyao was glad that it was still early. She finished giving her statement and it was only a little past six o'clock. There was still more than an hour before the movie time she had agreed to meet Gao Tingting.
Seeing a clinic across the street, Lin Shuyao said to Cheng Zheng, "Your arm must have been injured just now. Let me go with you to the clinic to get it checked out."
"No need, it's nothing serious." Cheng Zheng turned his head, his gaze lingering on her profile for a moment, and said calmly.
Lin Shuyao took a half step forward and softened her voice: "That won't do. You were injured while saving me. I won't feel at ease unless I see your injuries with my own eyes."
"The clinic is right across the street, it'll be quick." She gently tugged at his shirt cuff, with a hint of coquetry in her voice.
