Chapter 108

  "You're telling me! That's what you said!"

  Xiao Su quietly stepped forward and whispered behind me: "Go buy clothes, but what if I don't have any money on hand!"

  "Use mine! Luckily I brought some extra cash today, otherwise we'd both be in trouble!"

  I pointed to her pocket where she hid the gold and said angrily, "Xiao Su, you haven't been kind to me since we left home today!"

  She raised her head with a hurt expression and looked at me, saying: "Xia Qinghe, how can you say such things to me!"

  Saying so, he again stretched out his hand and clutched at his heart as if in pain.

  "Alright, alright, are you feeling sick or not? Stop pretending and hold the bags in your arms tightly. Let's hurry up and go! The little food we ate earlier has all been digested. Let's quickly go out and buy two pieces of clothing, then go eat some more!"

  "Great, I Xiao Su have finally turned things around, and I've finally waited for you Xia Qinghe to buy me clothes and take me out to eat!"

  She let out a shrill cry, and I turned back with an unpleasant tone: "You're talking as if I'm always stingy with you!"

  "Not at all!"

  She hastily shook her head and explained: "It's just that too many things happened today, when I was in such a sorry state, I didn't expect you, Xia Qinghe, not to abandon me and sneak away alone, you're really considerate.

  "What's going on?"

  I reached out and tightly grasped her arm, which was holding a bag, and said: "If I really left like this, I'm afraid that tomorrow at school, Xiao Su will come looking for me to cause trouble!"

  The two of them walked out of the alley and headed towards the center of the street, all the while being cautious and on guard against others trying to snatch their bags, as well as running into familiar faces.

  "Hey, what's going on with you two!"

  Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind.

  Xiao Su hugged her bag tightly with both hands, turned around and looked at me with a questioning gaze, as if asking if I was the one who had spoken.

  I shook my head at her, and the two of them looked back at me, a middle-aged man in police uniform was standing behind us with a sly smile on his face.

  "Oh my god, uncle, why are you smiling so terrifyingly!"

  Xiao Su stretched out her hand and held the bag in her arms even tighter, pulling my hand back a few steps.

  From my over a decade of experience watching cop and gangster movies, this middle-aged man wearing police uniform is very likely to be a bandit in disguise, with the intention of extorting money from us two young girls.

  It's okay if it's usually a small amount of money, but now it's different. A pack of gold bars, if they were really robbed like this, Xiao Su wouldn't be heartbroken to death, I would be half-hearted.

  "Run!"

  She kicked off her high-heeled shoes and slammed them into the face of the fake policeman, followed by a cry of pain.

  I turned around, grabbed Xiao Su's hand and took off running. I didn't care what was in front of me, whether it was a person or an object, I just charged forward.

  "Robbery! Someone's being robbed!"

  Xiao Su ran and shouted loudly, people on the road turned their heads to look, seeing a fierce-looking man in police uniform chasing after two little girls, but no one came forward to help us.

  The world is so cold and heartless. It's really a cold and heartless world now. Shouldn't there be someone who will stand up for justice?

  Chasing and running, I don't know how many streets we ran past. At first, it was a fake policeman chasing us, then two of them, and later on, it became a group of policemen chasing us.

  Later on, the two of us were taken back to the police station by that policeman uncle.

  I never thought that the big-bellied, ugly-looking uncle would really be a famous police officer. If I had known earlier, when he caught me, I wouldn't have used my high-heeled shoes to hit his face.

  Because of that gold bar and that high-heeled shoe, the two of us were detained at the police station. Later on, no matter what we said, those policemen didn't believe us, they ignored the fact that the high-heeled shoe was used to hit someone, and instead focused on investigating the origin of that suspicious gold, saying it might have been stolen by one of us.

  No matter how Xiao Su and I explained to them, they just wouldn't believe that this package of gold was ours, saying it had to be confiscated and donated to the country.

  Heaven knows whether they are real or fake gold bars, a pack of pure gold was lost for no reason, this is something that nobody can understand.

  It's okay, in the end, Xiao Su's weird uncle came and chatted with that sleazy cop in the office for half a day. Later, at 6 o'clock, we finally left the police station. A good weekend was ruined on the first day, it's really unbearable.

  "Qinghe, what do you think my uncle and that sleazy cop talked about for half a day in the office?" Xiao Su deliberately slowed down her pace, pulling me away from her uncle, and asked me softly.

  I looked up and saw the strange uncle that Xiao Su was talking about, who from his appearance alone seemed to be a real-life representation of a tall, rich and handsome man. He appeared to be around thirty years old, with a tall and sturdy build, not at all effeminate like a fox spirit, but with a clean face and a perpetual sly smile.

  "I don't know, I'm not your uncle, how would I possibly know?!"

  Xiao Su gave me a white eye: "It's also normal, I didn't know, how could you not know!"

  "You're so curious, you can go ask your uncle yourself, he should tell you!" I suggested kindly.

  "No way, no way!" Xiao Su frantically shook his head: "If I really went to ask him, I'm afraid the next second he'd slap me with a palm and send me flying to the edge of the sky!"

  "Qinghe, what do you think my uncle and that sleazy cop talked about in the office for half a day?"

  Xiao Su deliberately pulled me back a bit, keeping some distance from her uncle, and asked in a low voice.

  I looked up and saw the strange uncle that Xiao Su was talking about, who from his appearance is simply a representative of the high-rich-handsome type. He looks to be around thirty years old, tall and strong, but not overly slender like a fox, with a clean face, yet always wearing a faintly silly smile.

  Today was my first meeting with her uncle, but this so-called meeting was actually just me standing behind him and taking a few glances at him, standing in the corner of the wall and sneaking a few peeks, because the tall, rich and handsome guy hadn't really looked at me or Xiao Su straight in the eye since we left the police station.

  "He is your uncle, this question should be asked by me instead!"

  I looked at Xiao Su and said, she innocently shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything.

  "This one, I also can't guess, however..."

  Xiao Su smiled evilly and said, "Look at my uncle, he's not young anymore, 32 years old, but so far I haven't seen him bring a woman home, nor have I ever heard any rumors about him. What do you think? My uncle is a rich and handsome guy who doesn't lack money or looks, why can't he find a girlfriend?"
