Chapter 276 -276 Misunderstanding
The criminal, as if stung by something, suddenly screamed, then immediately collapsed to the ground, his knife clattering beside him.
Seeing this, Han Xin quickly stepped forward and picked up the little girl. Luo Yong also rushed over and handcuffed the unconscious criminal to prevent any accidents.
The girl’s mother hurriedly rushed forward, holding onto her daughter, then began to sob uncontrollably, seemingly venting her inner fear.
The cries of the little girl and her mother intertwined, creating a somewhat noisy scene.
Soon, everyone was taken to the police station.
Having encountered such an incident, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao naturally lost the mood to continue their outing and returned home early.
However, as they said goodbye at the Zhong family’s doorstep, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao made plans to meet early the next morning to pick her up.
The incident today at the food street was so strange that the special department had taken over; now, that person had probably been taken to the special department.
Since she had been involved in this incident and had noticed its oddity, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t just remain a bystander. Not to mention, this was also a good opportunity for her to accumulate merit.
Previously, due to the plane hijacking incident, her vitality had been greatly hurt, and although she now had the Jade Heart, accumulating merit was also a good way to recover.
Otherwise, she was really worried that her soul and this body might become unstable again.
Entering the Zhong family residence, Zhong Niangyao found Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong sitting in the living room. The moment they saw her, they even seemed a bit surprised.
“Why are you back so early?” Old Madam Zhong asked with some worry, “Did something happen?”
“Huh?” Zhong Niangyao was slightly confused, “Grandma, why would you suddenly ask that? Can’t I come back a bit earlier?”
Besides, she felt that it wasn’t actually early since it was already the afternoon.
“It’s good to be back early!”
It was Old Sir Zhong, on the other hand, who seemed to have a different opinion; he smiled warmly at Zhong Niangyao and said, “Yaoyao, remember, even if you have a date, don’t come back too late. We are girls, and staying out too late isn’t good.”
“You can knock it off,” Old Madam Zhong said irritably, “When you were chasing after me, you hated not being able to stick together all day and night. How come you’ve changed your tune now?”
“That’s different!” Old Sir Zhong muttered under his breath but dared not speak loudly, fearing he might offend his wife.
When he was pursuing his wife, of course, he wanted to be together all the time. But now, it was someone else’s pig trying to steal his tenderly raised, succulent cabbage—of course, he would have a different say now.
Old Madam Zhong glared irritably at Old Sir Zhong, then turned towards Zhong Niangyao, her voice laced with concern, “Yaoyao, did something happen between you and Third Master Lu?”
They knew that Zhong Niangyao had arranged a date with Lu Yichen that day and they didn’t oppose it. Although they weren’t too optimistic about these two, seeing how heartbroken Lu Yichen was over Zhong Niangyao these past few days, their hearts were swaying too.
So, today, when Zhong Niangyao proactively reported that she was going out with Lu Yichen, she didn’t object. However, she didn’t expect Zhong Niangyao to return so early.
Typically, if both parties in a date are interested, they at least stay out until after dinner. But now, it was only the afternoon, and Zhong Niangyao had returned. She was worried that perhaps some discord had occurred between the two.
“Grandma, you’re overthinking it. There was an unexpected incident.”
Unable to help it, Zhong Niangyao recounted what had happened at the food street. Naturally, she omitted her own intervention and the strangeness surrounding the criminal. She simply narrated the events, explaining why she had come back early.
After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Old Madam Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, “I didn’t expect you to encounter such an event. It’s indeed very dangerous, but thankfully the little girl is safe. Truly, it must be divine protection.”
As people age, their hearts tend to become softer, especially towards children. Thus, after hearing Zhong Niangyao’s recount, Old Madam Zhong still felt happy for the little girl.
Old Sir Zhong waved his hand and then spoke, “Alright, Yaoyao, go rest upstairs for a bit! You must be tired after all these events today. I’ll have someone call you when it’s time for dinner.”
Zhong Niangyao didn’t object, she nodded and then left the living room to go upstairs.
However, just as she reached the stairs, she ran into Zhong Mengxuan.
At that moment, Zhong Mengxuan appeared entirely pleased with herself, but upon seeing Zhong Niangyao, her expression immediately soured.
Then, as if she had thought of something, Zhong Mengxuan looked at Zhong Niangyao with an arrogant attitude.
Watching this, Zhong Niangyao found it amusing. She decided to act as if she hadn’t seen her and, without even greeting her, planned to pass by.
However unexpectedly, while Zhong Niangyao didn’t plan to acknowledge Zhong Mengxuan, Zhong Mengxuan wasn’t willing to just let her leave.
Looking at the arm blocking her path, Zhong Niangyao darkly said, “It’s often said that a good dog doesn’t block the path; it seems you’re even worse than a dog!”
With that statement, Zhong Mengxuan’s smiling face disappeared without a trace, replaced by fury, “Zhong Niangyao, how dare you compare me to a dog.”
“I was wrong, I shouldn’t compare you to dogs,” Zhong Niangyao suddenly revealed a mischievous grin, “How could I insult such cute little dogs? They are humanity’s most loyal friends, and to compare them to you would be too demeaning to them.”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong Mengxuan’s face turned green with rage, yet, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she laughed, “Zhong Niangyao, you must be very pleased now! You and Lu Yichen must be getting along well! If I’m not wrong, you two must be enjoying a sweet, loving time right now!”

“Our relationship has nothing to do with you,” Zhong Niangyao said indifferently, “And you don’t have the right to comment on our matters.”
“Zhong Niangyao, do you really think you and Lu Yichen can be together?” Zhong Mengxuan smirked malevolently, “Don’t kid yourself.”
