Chapter 379 Opportunity
Chapter 379 Opportunity
But now, in order to be able to lend a helping hand to his wife as soon as she appears in Qiaozhen, Su Mingyue has been under the sun for two hours.
Her originally exquisite makeup was ruined by sweating from the sun, leaving obvious traces of sweat on her face and her eye makeup smudged into a dark mess. She looked not at all approachable, but rather like someone who had just died from exhaustion after staying up for three consecutive nights.
People passing by instinctively avoided her.
Su Mingyue eagerly awaited, but the person who should have appeared was nowhere to be seen.
Su Mingyue's patience ran out. Exhaustion and the scorching sun had completely clouded her judgment. In her mind, she questioned the system, "Didn't you say that Qiao Zhendong's wife would appear here? Where is she? Tell me where she is!"
After a brief hiss, the system voice fell silent. "Detected that the target has temporarily changed their travel route and is not expected to appear here today."
Su Mingyue felt a sudden heart attack and gasped for breath, "She's not going to appear? Where were you all this time? Why didn't you say so sooner! I waited for her in the sun for a full two hours!"
"If she didn't show up, how could I get someone to steal her bag? And if I didn't steal her bag, how could I become her savior!"
Seeing that the system was pretending to be dead again, Su Mingyue was also helpless and asked.
Do you know why she changed her travel itinerary at the last minute?
System: "Sorry, host, this is outside the scope of this system's business."
Su Ming took another breath.
After forcing himself to calm down, he asked, "Quickly locate my wife's address in Qiaozhen East. I need to know it now."
System: "Okay, 1000 points, thank you for your patronage."
Su Mingyue gritted her teeth and painfully spent the points she had painstakingly accumulated, then led her people to the location.
Finally, I saw that long-awaited figure not far from the hospital.
Su Mingyue's breathing quickened with excitement, and her gaze toward the other person was exceptionally ardent.
He instructed the person on the phone, "Proceed according to the original plan... Don't worry, I'll hold her off and won't give her a chance to catch you. After it's done, the remaining five hundred yuan will be yours."
Qiao Zhendong's wife, Ke Lei, held a bowl of bone broth carefully prepared by the family chef, intending to give her daughter a good nourishing meal.
As he rushed towards the hospital, he complained to the bodyguard beside him.
"Mengmeng is making a fuss over nothing. She's injured herself, so why is she arranging bodyguards around me? What kind of logic is that? Anyone who doesn't know better would think I'm her daughter."
"It's fortunate that you two, Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhao, are here to protect me. If you had sent a few big, burly men, I wouldn't have needed to leave the house."
Although Ke Lei complained, the upturned corners of her mouth showed no sign of her reluctance.
The two female bodyguards who accompanied her were also senior members of the family. They knew that this was Ke Lei's unique way of showing off her daughter, and they were happy to cooperate.
She readily agreed and said, "Mengmeng was just worried about your safety. Besides, Sister Lei, you're so beautiful and young. Standing next to Mengmeng, you look more like sisters than mother and daughter."
"Yeah, Sister Lei, you look amazing! Your skin looks so supple, we're so envious."
The two female bodyguards were very good at handling things. With just a few words, they made Ke Lei very happy. If you didn't know the situation, you would think that they were a group of girlfriends getting together.
This is also why Ke Lei agreed to bring bodyguards.
They have people to keep her company, chat with her to relieve boredom, and put her daughter at ease. Most importantly, they are not conspicuous or unusual, so even if she goes shopping with these two bodyguards, she won't feel guilty.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was just right, but then Xiao Xu frowned and looked up ahead.
Then you see Su Mingyue staring intently at Ke Lei, her gaze as intense as a dog eyeing a bone.
Passionate, greedy.
Xiao Zhao subconsciously turned to the side to block Su Mingyue's view, and was about to take Ke Lei to the hospital.
The accident happened in an instant.
Suddenly, a figure darted out from the alley to the side, heading straight for Ke Lei. It snatched the handbag from Ke Lei's arms and ran away.
Ke Lei was startled and instinctively fell backward.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Mingyue quickly ran towards Ke Lei, intending to offer her warmth as soon as possible and try to leave a deep impression on her.
The two bodyguards were agile and worked in perfect coordination. One quickly helped Ke Lei up and comforted her gently, while the other turned to chase after the person who had snatched the bag.
By the time Su Mingyue ran up to Ke Lei with an exaggerated expression, Ke Lei had already been comforted by the bodyguard.
I was planning to go to the hospital to see my daughter Mengmeng first. As for Xiao Xu who chased after me, he will come back after he has dealt with his business.
"Oh dear! Madam, are you alright?"
Su Mingyue stopped Ke Lei and asked with concern.
"Let me see where you're hurt, if you twisted your ankle, if it hurts, and if you need to go to the hospital."
"Thieves these days are outrageous! They dare to steal in broad daylight. We must call the police and have him arrested to teach him a lesson!"
Su Mingyue's indignant words perfectly captured the shared hatred of the enthusiasts.
But to Ke Lei, it was completely baffling.
Who is this person? Do they know him?
He came here to stop her from seeing her daughter, talking to himself. Is he crazy?
Bodyguard Xiao Zhao looked at Su Mingyue with a wary expression, his defensiveness written all over his face.
After all, she had seen Su Mingyue's eager gaze earlier, and the calculation in her eyes was almost overflowing.
It's so strange that they're suddenly coming over to fawn over me now.
It's never a bad thing to be cautious.
Su Mingyue poured her heart and soul into the task, but Ke Lei on the other side never responded.
Helpless, Su Mingyue could only talk to herself and force a smile, "It seems you're not injured, that's great."
He glanced at Ke Lei, thought for a moment, and finally found a topic to talk about.
"Once the thief is caught, Uncle Hat will definitely teach him a lesson so he'll remember it."
Ke Lei: "No need, it's not worth it, too much trouble."
Su Mingyue felt she had found a topic to start a conversation with the other party, and insisted, "How can we not use it? Stealing a large amount of money can result in a sentence of more than three years."
Finally, Ke Lei's gaze fell on her, and she asked, "How do you know the amount is huge?"
Su Mingyue froze for a second, stammering, "I guessed it. That bag doesn't look cheap, so there must be some valuables inside."
"If we just let him go, wouldn't that embolden the thief?"
By the end, Su Mingyue was genuinely angry.
I feel like Ke Lei is just a fool with too much money. How can she just let it go after her bag was stolen?
Although she was the one who arranged the people.
Although she knew the purse snatcher was a repeat offender with extensive experience and would definitely not be caught.
But so what.
These kinds of foolish, rich suckers are the most despicable; they have no idea how hard ordinary people work to earn money.
She deserved to be robbed!
Su Mingyue didn't actually recognize what kind of bag it was; it seemed quite ordinary, no different from the bags carried by ordinary people like them.
Ke Kelei is the wife of investment tycoon Qiao Zhendong, so the bag she carries must be expensive.
It would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. If he was lucky enough to get a limited edition, wouldn't the thief have made a fortune?
If there are valuables in the bag, it will be even more valuable.
The original plan was for Su Mingyue to help Ke Lei retrieve her stolen bag, but unexpectedly, someone close to Ke Lei beat her to it.
Now, a bag worth at least tens of thousands of yuan has fallen into the hands of a thief. If she had known this would happen, she would have discussed it with the thief beforehand and split the stolen goods equally.
Now look what's happened, all of this has benefited the thief.
Thinking about this, Su Mingyue felt like she was about to vomit.
Now that things have come to this, we absolutely must make sure to do Ke Lei a favor.
Looking at Ke Lei, who was safe and sound, he said, "No, I'll go and get your bag back for you."
If she could retrieve the bag before Ke Lei's people did, that would be considered a meritorious deed, and Ke Lei would surely remember her favor.
Moreover, this way, she can also make the other party look at her with new respect.
As for how to pursue her, the answer is naturally to contact her by phone.
Anyway, she had the thief's contact information, so she could just secretly take the bag back.
Su Mingyue's plan was well-thought-out, but it was all just empty talk; it didn't even take off before it was aborted.
Ke Lei said casually, "It's just an ordinary handbag, it's fine if it's lost. It doesn't matter."
Su Mingyue...
She turned around stiffly, incredulous. "An ordinary handbag? Not a limited edition designer bag?"
Ke Lei: "Yes, it's just an ordinary bag, and there's nothing valuable inside. It's chicken soup I made for my daughter. What a pity, it's top-quality chicken soup." The chef at home simmered it for several hours.
