101. Su Qi and the Suspicious Character
After a day of rest, Su Qi felt her waist wasn’t sore, legs weren’t hurting, and her whole body was full of energy.
Speaking of which, although her current body was weak, its recovery ability was extremely strong.
Or is it that females’ recovery speed is just faster than males’?
Su Qi thought, if yesterday or the day before she was still a male, then wouldn’t she now be like a squeezed out toothpaste tube—completely empty inside.
Shuddering, she didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Su Qi didn’t realize her fast recovery was due to the jade seal’s effect and just sighed at the physiological gap between men and women.
After a big stretch, Su Qi got out of bed and opened the curtains. Seeing the sun already high up, Su Qi felt she had become decadent.
Actually sleeping in until late morning and still feeling like it wasn’t enough.
“Host, go eat breakfast, develop a good lifestyle habit.” The system lazily spoke up at this time.
Su Qi found that after completing the newbie mission, the system’s voice was no longer neutral but changed to a soft, tender girl’s voice. Could it be it evolved again?
Speaking of which, this system couldn’t have also just woken up, right!
But talking about eating, Su Qi really did feel a bit hungry. Rubbing her flat belly, she always felt having a bulging belly without pooping was very unscientific.
Originally planning to order takeout, Su Qi discovered this month’s Meituan and Ele.me membership coupons were all used up. With the idea that couponless takeout was soulless, Su Qi decided to go out to eat.
Su Qi knew near this Green City neighborhood, there was a clay pot spicy soup restaurant called “Du Liang”.
Actually, Su Qi was a bit confused. These nationwide chain spicy soup restaurants, like Du Liang or Yang Guofu, each had the same flavor. Why not privately make their own brand?
Just take this “Du Liang” clay pot spicy soup! It’s outrageous.
Clay pot spicy soup had a big difference from ordinary spicy soup. Unlike the usual big bowl of spicy soup served, it was served in a clay pot, with a bubbling spicy soup.
Fundamentally different from “Du Liang” spicy soup by a long shot, yet still using its name.
Although the ingredients were the same, this boiling hot style made diners feel it was more delicious. This was the selling point of this spicy soup restaurant.
But because the temperature was too high when served, if you ordered takeout from this restaurant, it wouldn’t be as tasty as in the restaurant. This was also a fatal flaw, causing takeout to not sell.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was only 10 AM. This early, there shouldn’t be too many people, right!
Su Qi also planned to order some fried skewers for herself later and get a cup of iced cola to reward herself for overworking these two days.
Putting on a somewhat flamboyant hoodie set, Su Qi found she still preferred the sense of security pants brought compared to short skirts.
Plus, she was different from two days ago. She was now a person with panties and a bra.
The two little bunnies on her chest were very comfortable wrapped in the black bra. Su Qi had to praise the seamstress’ skill was really impeccable. Just those few thin pieces of cloth could support such an important task. The hoodie set’s concealment was really strong. Su Qi didn’t have to worry at all about exposure issues.
Stepping into somewhat exaggerated red shoes, Su Qi also put the green hoodie hood on her head.
After looking in the mirror, seeing her appearance mostly covered, Su Qi was very satisfied. It was good to not be noticed.
Speaking of which, going to a restaurant to eat alone, more or less you’d feel a bit lonely!
Before leaving, she took a pack of tissues and pocketed her keys. Su Qi then walked out the door.
Walking alone on the street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, most of them walked in pairs.
Right now, there was an affectionate man and woman in front of Su Qi, openly being lovey-dovey.
“Say, who was that woman you were chatting with on WeChat yesterday?” The woman pretended to be angry, but her eyes were full of a teasing, crafty color.
The man took out his phone in a fluster and scrolled, saying: “Look, it’s a colleague.”
The two walked and talked. Su Qi watched this scene and just felt envious.
Before starting university, she had always fantasized about finding a girlfriend in university too. She also wanted to flirt and tease, experience what it meant to be well-off in the present. But because of being “poor”, she had always been alone.
Looking at the two people in front, she just felt even more envious.
But after thinking about it, that’s not right. Doesn’t she have girlfriends now? And two of them.
Someday she definitely has to bring them out for a stroll too, to make others envious.
At this time, the two people in front stopped.
The reason was, if you think about it, a suspiciously dressed person in a hoodie with the hood up always walking behind you, watching you, it’s really quite scary.
Su Qi saw the two people stop and instead turn to look at her. She thought it’d be fine if she walked past quickly. Who knew she’d be stopped by the man.
“Why have you been following us?” As a police officer, Lin Hao had finally taken a day off with difficulty. He thought he’d have a good heart-to-heart with his girlfriend, but never expected he’d be targeted by a suspicious person.
Could it be a bad guy he had arrested before, coming out of prison to take revenge on him? Thinking of this, Lin Hao got even more nervous.
Shielding his girlfriend behind him, he wanted to flip open Su Qi’s hood. At the same time, he was also a bit afraid this somewhat skinny person in front of him had some kind of weapon hidden.
He slowly walked closer to Su Qi, step by step.
Lin Hao was over 1.8 meters tall. Plus, as a police officer, he regularly trained and had a body full of muscles. Against the light, Su Qi couldn’t see his expression, only feeling a bear getting closer to her.
Sensing Lin Hao’s approach, Su Qi subconsciously took two steps back.
In Lin Hao’s eyes, this meant this person’s guilty conscience was exposed after being recognized by him.
“What are you doing?” Su Qi habitually asked in a hoarse voice.
Hearing Su Qi’s obviously deliberately manufactured voice, Lin Hao felt this guy was even more suspicious.
Su Qi now looked at Lin Hao pressing closer step by step and just felt even more panicked. Her little hand manipulated her phone in her sleeve, using the shortcut key Wang Zijin helped set up beforehand to dial 110.
Lin Hao also took note of Su Qi’s every move. Seeing her action under the hoodie, he was even more certain she had some dangerous item like a dagger hidden in her sleeve.
Lin Hao sized up the surroundings and found people were all far away. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He could guarantee subduing this suspicious, frail character within three steps.
Then Su Qi saw him spread his arms and shout: “Everyone get away from here!”
The voice was ear-splitting, issued from his chest cavity. Because Su Qi was already very close to him.
Su Qi, already apprehensive, was directly scared into falling on the ground by this shout.
In this moment, Su Qi thought of a particularly classic comic—A Girl-Wrapped-in-the-Ground-Floor.
The fourth volume described the female protagonist being tied up in a car, then going through all kinds of group play. She wouldn’t repeat the female protagonist’s mistakes too, right!
In broad daylight? Speaking of which, that comic also happened in broad daylight…
Su Qi was terrified. She didn’t even care about exposing the fact that she called the police in front of this bear man. If she didn’t take action soon, she wouldn’t have a chance to call the police.
Directly putting the phone with the ongoing 110 call by her ear, she anxiously said loudly: “Police uncle, here there’s a, a, a.”
Su Qi looked around blankly. Where exactly was this place? Although her IQ was high, it has to be said, humans in a state of panic generally won’t have the calm thinking seen in TV shows under normal circumstances. Most people have a stress response.
Then Su Qi saw a big tree.
“A place with a big tree, there’s a bad guy here who wants to kidnap me!”
Lin Hao looked at Su Qi who had fallen to a sitting position, a bit surprised. How come she’s so easily scared?
Then he saw Su Qi take out her phone and look all around. Lin Hao also followed her gaze and looked everywhere.
Does this guy have accomplices? If there are accomplices, that would be bad.
But the next second, he heard something was off.
This suspicious character in front of him was actually calling the police!!
Are criminals nowadays this brazen?
