Chapter 44: Lifesaving Favor
This time, Captain Si led the police dispatch.
Jiang Yuan walked up to him and frowned, “Captain Si, Mary is injured. I need to take them to the hospital for treatment first. I can go to the police station to give a record later, can I?”
Mary?
Si Heng looked at the two little birds in her arms, “Who is Mary?”
Jiang Yuan pointed to one of the slightly larger little birds.
“What’s the name of the other one?” Si Heng asked.
Jiang Yuan shook her head, “I don’t know its name yet.”
How could this not be moving? Birds she didn’t even know risked their lives to save her.
Si Heng nodded, “I hope they recover soon.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Yuan gazed at the man’s deep brows and eyes, “Then I’ll leave first.”
“Miss Jiang, wait.” Si Heng suddenly called out to her.
Jiang Yuan thought he disagreed with her taking Mary and the others for treatment first, and a hint of displeasure colored her delicate brows.
She turned her head, only to hear the man’s gentle voice, “Are you injured?”
Jiang Yuan instantly suppressed her emotions and shook her head, “If it weren’t for them, I might have been injured.”
“Yuan Yuan.” Jiang Die, who had gone upstairs to get the car keys, had already driven the car over.
“I’m leaving now.” Jiang Yuan quickly walked towards the red BMW.
Fortunately, Mary and the other little sparrow were not critically injured.
“Although the situation isn’t particularly serious, they can’t eat on their own in their current state and need nutritional injections. For the next few days, let them stay in an incubator…”
Walking out of the pet hospital, Jiang Yuan’s hanging heart finally fell.
She lowered her head, her voice choked with emotion, “Sister, they were injured trying to save me.”
Jiang Die suppressed her surprise and comforted her softly, “They are really brave. The doctor said they’ll be fine in a few days, so don’t blame yourself too much.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yuan sighed in relief.
“Do we still have to go to the police station?” Jiang Die asked softly.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Yes.”
In the red BMW, Jiang Die held the steering wheel, hesitating whether to speak.
Jiang Yuan looked at the receding nightscape outside the car window and said slowly, “Some time ago, I found a corpse in Blue Bay Park.”
Jiang Die looked at her in surprise, tilting her head.
Jiang Yuan continued, “I called the police, and they found out that the murderer is the son of that person from just now.”
Jiang Die’s hands tightened on the steering wheel, and she said excitedly, “So, he thinks you harmed his son and wants revenge on you?”
“Mm.” Jiang Yuan nodded.
Jiang Die’s usually gentle brows showed a look of anger, “Crazy!”
“There really are many sick people in this world,” Jiang Yuan sighed.
Wasn’t she one of them in the past?
Police Station.
From Jiang Yuan’s record, Si Heng learned that Xu Decai had been secretly watching her for a long time, and even tried to make a move on her once.
“Why didn’t you call the police?” The man’s handsome face showed seriousness.
Jiang Yuan said lightly, “At that time, he suddenly rushed up to chase me, but he didn’t take out a dagger. He gave up halfway through…”
“Jiang Yuan, you’re too carefree,” Si Heng frowned.
She met the man’s slightly displeased gaze, and her thoughts suddenly wandered. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, “Captain Si, have you encountered any tricky murder cases recently?”
Si Heng: “…”
The topic jumped too quickly; he hadn’t even reacted.
Before leaving, Jiang Yuan said to Si Heng again, “If you need help anytime, feel free to find me. Consultation fees are discounted, a friendly price.”
Si Heng found it funny and raised his eyebrows, “Are we friends?”
“Aren’t we?” Jiang Yuan blinked, “I have you on my Moments Circle, aren’t we friends?”
The smile in the man’s dark eyes deepened, his thin lips moved slightly, “Yes.”
Lunar New Year’s Eve arrived as scheduled.
Jiang Yuan was sleeping soundly in her bed when she suddenly heard the system issuing a mission.
【System009: Triggered random mission—Gain the gratitude of ten small animals. Mission reward: Random draw opportunity *2 times. Mission failure: Random plot deployment.】
Jiang Yuan opened her sleepy eyes, feeling extremely confused.
How could it secretly issue missions while I was sleeping?
【System009: It’s you who are dawdling in bed!】
Momo stood at the door of the room, pushing it open a small crack, and said in a milky voice, “Auntie, Grandma asked me to call you to get up.”
“Okay, Momo, Auntie knows.” Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and struggled to get up.
After eating brunch, she recalled the new mission the system had just issued and suddenly heard her phone ring.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the caller ID; it was Zhou Shuyu.
She pressed answer, “Miss Zhou?”
The woman’s voice came through the earpiece, “Miss Jiang, am I disturbing your rest?”
“No.” Jiang Yuan let out a light laugh, “Miss Zhou, is there something?”
Zhou Shuyu smiled, “Yes, I want to send you some New Year’s goods as a thank you for saving my life.”
Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, “Miss Zhou, please don’t be so polite. It was just a small gesture. Besides, I’ve already received what I should have.”
“That 500,000 was to thank you for helping me find my lost gold bar and necklace; they can’t be confused.” Zhou Shuyu’s tone was extremely sincere, “Miss Jiang, please give me a chance to repay you.”
Since that was the case, Jiang Yuan didn’t refuse further, “Then come to my place for a while?”
“Okay.” Zhou Shuyu happily agreed, “When are you free?”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan told her family that a friend would be visiting in the afternoon.
Deng Rui was a little surprised, “Do you have other friends besides Xiaoxiao?”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Is it polite to ask such a question?
However, on second thought, it seemed that only Fu Xiaoxiao was truly sincere towards her.
Others claimed to be her friends on the surface, but they always mocked her in secret, pretending to be socialites despite being poor.
Seeing that she had no words, Deng Rui didn’t press her further.
In the afternoon, Deng Rui brought down three fluffy pets, preparing to sunbathe and chat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got downstairs, they saw Cao Laoting raise her thick leg and forcefully kick the little black dog.
While kicking, she was also cursing, “I’ll kick you to death, you bastard dog! How dare you steal my things! And dare to bark at me! I’ll kick you to death today!”
Deng Rui saw this scene, her fists clenched, her face pale, and she gritted her teeth, “Cao Laoting, did you eat shit! How dare you abuse a puppy!”
Cao Laoting spat out some sunflower seeds, and said sarcastically, “Yo, why such a temper? I didn’t kick your dog!”
Deng Rui was furious, “How did the dog offend you?”
Cao Laoting snorted coldly, “This bastard dog stole my food! I said a few words to it, and it dared to bark at me!”
The little black dog hid under the stone table, looking wronged, and whimpered, “You’re talking nonsense! I didn’t steal anything!”
Blueberry quickly explained to Xixi and Xiao Bai, “Remember, it’s this old hag who always bullies us!”
Xixi stared fiercely at Cao Laoting, “Old hag! You’re awful, abusing puppies!”
Xiao Bai gritted his teeth, “Xiao Bai is angry, Xiao Bai wants to bite her!”
