Chapter 361 - Restaurant Fiasco
"Hi! What a coincidence! You guys came here to eat too?" Zhao Rui showed a smile and waved a hand at Ding Ling in greeting. ~~ (hand typed) ~~
Ding Ling got rid of Secretary Zhang and came out to party with a few friends, originally in a cheerful mood and high emotions, but once she saw Zhao Rui, the good mood she just had, instantly flew to a hundred thousand miles away.
Every time she sees Zhao Rui, especially when she sees the lazy smile on Zhao Rui's face, it always makes her unconsciously recall the scene that happened in the police apartment.
She had never shown her innocent body in front of any man, but she had been seen by this ingrate rival!
This thought made her unconsciously surge a deep resentment from the bottom of her heart, and this resentment, when she met Zhao Rui, became extraordinarily strong.
"Yes! What a coincidence."
Ding Ling responded indifferently, and then, with a few girlfriends, sat down at the table on Zhao Rui's right.
Several of Ding Ling's friends, as soon as they sat down, muttered and talked away.
"Ding Ling, is he your colleague?"
"He's very spirited looking!"
"Exactly! I can't imagine that there is such a handsome man in your police force!"
They said while glancing at Zhao Rui with their eyes, eating and laughing.
Ding Ling glared at her girlfriends and complained in a low voice, "Where is he handsome, he's more like a bad guy. What are your eyes? Too nymphomaniac!" "You are the one with bad eyes! Such a spiritual young man in front of your eyes. How can you ignore it?" The girlfriends immediately shot back in unison.
"We have a clash of the eight characters. Okay. I'm not going to talk to you guys anymore, I'm going to get some food."
Ding Ling rolled her eyes, threw down a sentence stiffly, and walked straight to the food table to get something to eat.
Zhao Rui suddenly stood up from his seat at this time and walked side by side with Ding Ling. ~~ e t~~
"What are you doing following me?" Ding Ling glanced at Zhao Rui out of the corner of her eye and asked with little goodwill.
"I don't want to follow you either, but I've finished eating everything on my plate. I can't just sit there and do nothing, right?" Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Although you are at work, you are my boss, but it's after work hours, not so much that you even have to share a respect for food."
Ding Ling's face burned a little, feeling that her actions just now, seemed to be a little self-serving.
Zhao Rui smiled, did not say much, went to the food counter and took the food. Then returned to his seat.
Just sat down, did not have time to eat, the old man at the table on the left. Suddenly jumped up with one hand and shouted in excitement, saying:
"Ah ah! My bag! My bag is missing!"
Zhao Rui gave a startled, turned his head to look, only to see the old man is like ants on a hot pot, anxiously spinning around, head down, in the seat near the continuous search.
"Just put here! How come it's gone in a flash!"
"What? The bag is gone? How is that possible?"
The middle-aged couple who had been sitting across from the old man were also astonished. They had been sitting and eating together, how could a bag that big disappear right under their noses!
"The 20,000 yuan inside is the money I just borrowed from you! It was life-saving money for my wife's medical treatment! If this money disappears, what should I do?" The old man's face was full of sorrow, beating his chest, almost crying out.
He was in a hurry. He made a great commotion. Around the dining customers' eyes were attracted to the restaurant waiter. Also rushed over to ask what happened in the end, surrounded by a mess.
Zhao Rui estimated that the old man's bag, probably was stolen.
Only, just now he went to get food, did not see the appearance of the thief, otherwise, he was nearby, the thief should not be able to get.
Now to find the thief to, I'm afraid it's too late, the thief may have stolen the bag, it is far away.
Zhao Rui does not hold much hope, with the gaze in the hall swept a week, suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure into his eyes!
That figure, surprisingly, is the last time to steal his wallet failed to spit gum to tease him the little girl!
The girl was wearing a small pink jacket, looking particularly cute.
She was standing far from the door of the restaurant, hands behind her back, almost out of the door, eyes are looking at the old man who lost his bag, beautiful face, there seems to be a few intolerant color.
Zhao Rui look at her this look, and then remember her occupation, almost instantly sure that the thief who took the bag, must be the girl.
Zhao Rui heart can not help but surge a few irritated emotions.
He felt that this girl really unrepentant, but did not learn a lesson from the last loss, or perhaps he did not give a deep enough lesson.
Zhao Rui stood up, went around the girl's line of sight, and quietly forced towards her.
This time, he will not just, easily put the girl over.
The restaurant is crowded, the girl did not appear Zhao Rui ground approaching.
She is still standing at the door hesitantly, as if considering whether she should leave as if nothing had happened, or return the bag to the poor old man.
Her face kept changing, as if her thoughts were doing a fierce struggle.
After a while, probably conscience finally prevailed, she returned to the restaurant, quietly put the black bag in a more conspicuous position, and then quickly left.
Zhao Rui was slightly stunned, did not expect, the little girl actually returned the bag.
He began to feel that this girl, who seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined, had not gone too far down the black road, and if he gave her a hand at this time, he might be able to help her get back on track.
He gave it a little thought and chased down toward the girl's back.
Zhao Rui was extremely fast, and in less than half a minute, he came around to the front of the girl and reached out to block her path.
"Hey, wait! You're not just going to leave, are you?" Zhao Rui said with a smile.
"Huh? It's you?"
When the girl saw Zhao Rui, she was slightly stunned at first, but quickly recognized him with a surprised look on her face.
"Yes! It's me!" Zhao Rui nodded, "You managed to get such a large sum of money, why did you give it back again? Twenty thousand shouldn't be a small amount for you."
"You just saw it all?"
The girl got alert, she stared into Zhao Rui's eyes, like a hedgehog, and put up invisible thorns around her, surrounding herself tightly.
"Pretty much saw it all." Zhao Rui smiled.
"What do you want?" The girl acted tough, but the tension was already revealed in her voice.
"Me? Don't want anything." Zhao Rui shrugged, "I just think that you have a conscience that has not yet died, so I want to advise you to hurry back."
"Meddling! You are not my mother, nor are you a police officer, so don't lecture me with these things." The girl rolled her eyes with disdain, not taking Zhao Rui seriously.
"Oh? Then you're really unfortunate." Zhao Rui smiled, took out his police officer's card from his pocket and waved it in front of the girl, "I really am a police officer."
"Huh?"
The girl is like to give a person cast a fixation like, disdainful expression immediately froze in the small face, originally still small some arrogant temper, also in an instant thrown to the Pacific Ocean.
"You ... you really police?" Her white throat moved, some difficult swallowed saliva, stammered and asked.
"Of course it's true." Zhao Rui raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to go with me to the police station to verify it?"
"No need! Really no need! I believe it is!"
The girl desperately shook her hand, into the police station will have what good?
She understands very well that it is easy to get in, but it is very difficult to get out.
Knowing Zhao Rui's identity, the girl couldn't help but feel a little weak, she rolled her eyes and immediately changed her tough attitude, showing a pitiful expression and began to plead in a soft voice.
"Big brother, I know I'm wrong. I have already sent back all the things I took just now, so you can let me off this time, okay?"
"You failed to steal from me last time and framed me a hand, today you hit my hand and still want me to let you go?" Zhao Rui looked at the little girl and said with a smirk.
The girl was creeped out by Zhao Rui's smile, the heart secretly screamed bitter, think how they are so unlucky, the last time to mess with a police officer, within a few days to hit his hands!
This retribution is really fast!
She lowered her head, looked at her toes, fiddled with the corner of her coat and whispered, "It was just an accident, really, really, just an accident."
The more she said, the less breath she had, and her voice gradually trailed off.
"Well, what you call an accident made my boss, when he first met me, leave a very bad impression in his heart!"
"Huh? The policewoman that day, was your boss?"
"Yes, and she was also in the restaurant today. Do you want me to call her out too?"
"No need." The girl said with a bitter little face.
She quietly lamented in her heart, feeling that this time, she was really in trouble.
