Chapter 471 - You’ve Ruined My Plan! I’ll Make You Pay! (1/2)
“What could possibly change even if I do mind? I’m already here, am I not?”
Upon hearing that, Su Qingsang smiled. She had found the new colleague of hers interesting.
While chatting, they arrived at the administration office. The paperwork was soon finished. The next day had been a Saturday, so the hospital decided to let Su Qingsang start working the following Monday.
After coming out of the administration office, Su Qingsang first thanked Zheng Chenyu before leaving. She was looking forward to starting her work at the hospital. All the colleagues she had met seemed nice, and she believed that she could work happily together with them.
She left the building and got into her car. As soon as she had driven out of the hospital, she saw a short and skinny man fleeing towards her.
The man crossed the road swiftly, but Su Qingsang didn’t manage to step on the brakes in time. A very tall and muscular man was chasing after the short man.
Before Su Qingsang could stop her car, the short man darted up to her. She gave a startled expression because she thought that she was going to hit him. However, to her surprise, the man nimbly hopped onto her car.
At that point, Su Qingsang had no choice but to step on the brakes. As the car stopped, the man leaped forward from the car.
Su Qingsang had just witnessed something that she thought only happened in action films. The tall, strong man rushed up and threw the short man onto the ground with a roundhouse kick.
“Ouch!” the short man said with a wince, as the tall man stepped forward and stomped a foot on his body before the latter could struggle up.
At the same time, a woman ran over from the other side of Su Qingsang’s car, gasping profusely.
While trying to catch her breath, the woman ran up to the tall man. The tall man snatched a lady’s shoulder bag away from the short man’s hands and handed it to the woman.
Watching that, Su Qingsang finally figured out that the tall man was catching a thief. The short and skinny man was the thief.
“Miss, your bag.”
“Thank you, thank you,” said the woman as she opened her bag and checked the things in it. “Everything is still here. Thank you so much.”
While speaking, she was still gasping for air. She had run all the way here from a very long distance.
“You’re welcome.” The tall man reached out and bent over, easily lifting the thief from the ground.
The thief burst out yelling at that moment. “B*stard! You’ve ruined my plan! I’ll make you pay!”
The tall man put both the thief’s arms behind his body, which made him scream.
“Let-let me go!”
“How exactly will you make me pay?”
“I’m sorry! I-I was wrong! Let go of me… Let go.” The thief glanced at the tall and sturdy man, then hurriedly begged for mercy, “I made a huge mistake! I have tunnel vision. Please have mercy on me and let me go, hero.”
Su Qingsang almost burst out in laughter. When had thieves become so glib-tonged? With that sort of talking skill, that thief could probably find a better job.
“Relax, I will let go of you when we get to the police station.”
While speaking, the tall man gripped the thief’s wrists and brought him away, quickly and neatly.
Soon, all the people who had gathered in that area to watch the incident left.
Su Qingsang clicked her tongue with approval. How impressive was that? That tall man was so nimble and full of strength.
Su Qingsang figured that the man was a plainclothes policeman. He was, without a doubt, very capable.
While driving forward, she saw the policeman and the thief again. The thief was still cursing, and the tall man was still gripping his wrists tightly.
Su Qingsang was driving, so she had only managed to give the tall man a glance from the rearview mirror of her car. He was pretty handsome. His thick, lustrous eyebrows made him look extra masculine.
The policeman was not only capable but had very striking features, too. As some would say, all the handsome men had been serving the country these days.
Watching the policeman catch the thief put Su Qingsang in quite a good mood. When she got home, she narrated the events to Huo Jinyao and complimented the policeman.
What she said centered around how handsome and vigorous the policeman was.
The compliments she gave the policeman displeased Huo Jinyao slightly. He pressed Su Qingsang on the bed to teach her a good lesson. As a result, she almost woke up late again the next morning.
The living room was empty by the time she went downstairs. After she had breakfast in the dining room, she found Huo Jinyao and Old Master Huo playing chess with each other.
“You’re up.” Huo Jinyao reached a hand towards her and asked, “Have you had breakfast yet? Why didn’t you get more sleep?”
Su Qingsang gave him a piercing glare. How could she possibly sleep in as the family was expecting guests?
“Did your mom leave again?” Old Master Huo asked Huo Jinyao after he had said good morning to Su Qingsang. Then, he turned his eyes back to the chessboard and put down a chess piece.
“Yes. Cheng Xianyun’s Mom is sick. She has gone to visit her.”
Old Master Huo stayed silent. He knew that Huo Jinyao’s mother had left home to visit Cheng Xianyun’s mom to avoid admitting Su Qingsang’s family status in front of the relatives.
Su Qingsang knew about that too. Every time Old Master Li and Li Qianxue visited the Huo Family, Liu Tongjia was absent.
She hadn’t expected Liu Tongjia to dislike her so much, because she couldn’t remember displeasing her so badly.
She glanced at Huo Jinyao. If it wasn’t because of her, Huo Jinyao might be the reason. What had Huo Jinyao done to make his own mother dislike him?
Since Old Master Huo was present at that time, Su Qingsang couldn’t directly ask Huo Jinyao anything about his mother.
