Chapter 481: Chapter 26: Juvenile Delinquency (Part 2)
"You’re saying it was her who damaged my car?" Manager with the surname Dong asked another question.
"It was her, just now her group also beat up Wang Rong trying to hide the car theft," the security guard continued to back the claim.
"It was them, Manager Dong, your car is damaged, these people should compensate, and my medical bills should be paid by them too," the tricycle driver added with a sobbing tone.
"Uncle Dong, do you really believe what they are saying?" Xuerou put on an aggrieved expression and walked towards the BMW owner who had come searching.
"Of course not, Xiao Rou, tourist areas are like this, full of deceivers. Uncle Dong has told you before, let me know when you come to Chengde, see now what kinds of people have entangled you," Manager Dong suppressed the anger in his heart, these local ruffians only add trouble to the local investment work.
He and Mrs. Zeng were business partners in the marketplace, always wanting her to develop a hotel property locally. Mrs. Zeng had argued about the local security environment and population being too complicated, always refusing to invest.
Last night, he received a call from Xuerou saying she was in Chengde and wanted to invite him for a meal. Xuerou is indeed Mrs. Zeng’s precious daughter, pleasing her and making her happy in Chengde meant no worries about Mrs. Zeng not investing locally.
Manager Dong drove overnight to Summer Villa and entertained Xuerou at a local teahouse, only to hear she had been playing at the Summer Villa for several days and was leaving tomorrow morning.
After sending Xuerou off from the teahouse, Manager Dong went to the parking lot to get his car, only to find his newly bought sedan’s front door damaged. He also saw a disabled person’s tricycle nearby with its front also damaged, and immediately started looking for the vehicle’s owner.
"You say she would steal your car? Who do you think she is, to steal your lousy car? Her family’s cars alone are worth dozens of yours. Also, Xuerou is still a minor, she’s a well-behaved and sensible child, she can’t even drive. You people are just the parasites of Chengde, if we don’t handle you properly, how can investors feel secure to invest here." Manager Dong made a direct call, informing the local public security bureau to come and handcuff the people.
Seeing this, the head of the security team also reprimanded that trouble-making security guard, Manager Dong then bought a lot of local products and sent Xuerou and her friends to the station, to express his gratitude, Xuerou very "considerately" promised she would definitely not tell her mother about the "bullying incident" that happened locally.
Manager Dong listened, almost moved to tears.
The three reached the station later, where Mrs. Zeng had been waiting, inevitably having another polite exchange with Manager Dong.
While the adults were talking boring business dealings, Xiao Xian and the two sat in a corner of the waiting room.
"Wow, Xuerou, you’re terrible, Xiao Xian you too, you must have known it all, right? To think you kept it hidden from me alone." Zhang Yiyi pieced together the events before and after, couldn’t help but admire her two friends’ series of schemes.
"We’re nowhere near you though, those two slaps earlier, the sound so crisp, the force so precise, truly the first heroine of the world," Xiao Xian imitated Zhang Yiyi’s movements, as if it were a fierce tiger pouncing on a sheep.
"And that’s not all, you even dared to say we are all minors, dare to arrest us then," Xuerou laughed until she leaned on the bench, drawing the attention of Mrs. Zeng who was talking to someone. It seemed her daughter was quite happy during this trip to Chengde, and Mrs. Zeng nodded in relief.
"Let’s not talk about it anymore, anyway, the three of us together, there’s that saying, isn’t it? Three cobblers together outwit Zhuge Liang, this trip to Chengde, apart from the food being a bit unsatisfactory, the rest was pretty good," Zhang Yiyi talked about the colorful gecko, feeling itchy in her throat.
"If the food wasn’t good enough, let your dad help you make up for it when you get home, also this egg, we brought it down from the mountain yesterday, it’s really tasty," Xiao Xian tossed the pampas egg to Zhang Yiyi, who wasn’t shy and had a scant breakfast because of those people meddling.
Zhang Yiyi peeled the egg and started eating it right in the station.
As the car left Chengde City, Xiao Xian and Xuerou involuntarily looked out the window, while Zhang Yiyi who was sitting in the backseat fell asleep as soon as she was on the seat. Mrs. Zeng was flipping through the documents in her hands; she had locked in a project in Tianjin during this trip, and she would be busy when she got back.
"Do you think, that Monk Tianya is really from the Kangxi Period, are there really people in the world who have lived that long? Xiao Xian, if you can also live for hundreds of years in the future like Monk Tianya, remember to come and sweep my grave," Xuerou half-joked.
"You must have not slept enough last night, your mind’s fuzzy. Close your eyes and sleep for a while," Xiao Xian gave her a sidelong glance, meaning why was she, like Yiyi, cannot keep her mouth shut, why curse herself.
Xuerou smiled and closed her eyes, the sunlight outside the window was bright, right in the middle of summer.
Monk Tianya had brought a bigger shock to Xiao Xian, was he really coming from Cangqiong Palace? And the new function of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors, this summer vacation, he definitely needed to practice more.
With her eyes closed, Xuerou opened her eyes and turned her face, "Xiao Xian, I just saw the car ahead."
"What?" Xiao Xian didn’t understand, well asleep and suddenly such a statement.
"I mean, when I just closed my eyes, I saw a car one kilometer away outside the bus." Xuerou and Xiao Xian looked at each other, then together looked out the window. (To be continued.
