Ming Li casually discarded the bloodstained towel when she saw the police arrive. She followed her homeroom teacher and several other teachers towards them.
As she approached the group of officers, Ming Li’s gaze swept over them and she spotted a very familiar face. Ming Li’s lips curved into a slight smile, appearing endearingly innocent. Oh! Officer Xiao Zhang! I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!
The system in the space put down the novel it was holding and looked at the smile on its host’s face.
The system found that its host was truly becoming more adept at smiling, and whenever the host smiled, something bad would happen. It was enough to scare the living daylights out of this baby!!
Officer Xiao Zhang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably when he saw Ming Li again.
Officer Xiao Zhang said, "Uh… yes, what a coincidence… How does he feel that Miss Jiang’s report rate has been a bit high recently? And every time she calls the police, someone gets injured."
Thinking of this, Officer Xiao Zhang’s gaze involuntarily drifted towards the distance. As expected, just as Officer Xiao Zhang had thought, on the road not far away, several tall men were lying sprawled haphazardly. And, if he wasn’t mistaken, those men were still bleeding…
Officer Xiao Zhang: “……So tragic……”
At this moment, a police officer beside him asked, "What's going on? Who can explain?"
Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher stepped forward and recounted the robbers' assault.
The police officers who heard the entire story: “……?!” They all looked at Ming Li with a strange gaze.
Ming Li, receiving their gazes, said calmly, "What if I told you it was excessive self-defense, would you believe me?"
The group of officers: “……?! Heh heh……”
Officer Xiao Zhang, standing nearby, found this statement inexplicably familiar.
After understanding the situation, the officers were about to arrest the men. One officer looked at them and felt their faces were familiar, so he took out his phone to check. He discovered that the faces of those men were identical to the wanted criminals on his phone.
The officer handed his phone to Captain Wu beside him and said, "Captain Wu, take a look, are those men on the phone the same ones?"
Captain Wu took the phone and examined it carefully. He found that the men lying on the ground, bleeding, were indeed the wanted criminals who had committed rape and dismemberment three months ago and were on the run.
Captain Wu returned the phone to the officer and ordered his men to handcuff the bleeding men on the ground, throw them into the police car, and then excitedly walked towards Ming Li. He reached out and grasped Ming Li’s blood-stained hand, saying, "Miss Jiang, thank you so much! You’ve helped our police capture important suspects! You are a good friend of our police!"
Ming Li: “……?! You’re talking, why are you shaking?!”
Very calmly, Ming Li withdrew her hand from Captain Wu’s trembling grip and said, "You don’t need to thank me. They ran into trouble themselves. I just lent a small hand."
Captain Wu: “……”
And so, Ming Li was gloriously awarded the title of Heroic Citizen. Later, the police even rushed to create a banner embroidered with "Heroic Citizen" to give to Ming Li as a token of their gratitude, but that is a story for another time.
Ming Li’s expression was blank, her face numb, she didn’t want to say anything.
After the officers left, Ming Li changed into clean clothes and got into the car under the admiring gazes of the students.
Once everyone was in the car, the bus started and continued towards their destination.
The bus drove on, and finally, in the afternoon, they reached their destination…
PS: Thank you, little darlings, for the gifts! The weather is getting colder, so remember to add more clothes, little darlings!
