Chapter 148: Meeting You Around The Next Corner
Lu Qi finally found this place.
Standing in this narrow alley, Lu Qi looked down at the stun gun in her hand, then looked up at the shop owner’s sign. No mistake, the inconspicuous little logo on the stun gun matched the shop owner’s sign.
After searching online for a long time and with the help of translation software, she locked onto this self-defense supplies specialty store. Then, she took a taxi straight there—fortunately, this was the only location with no branches, so there was no worry of going to the wrong one.
Lu Qi walked in and said in Sakura Island Language, “Hello.”
The shop owner replied, “Hello, what does this miss need?”
Of course, Lu Qi couldn’t understand it, so she placed the picked-up stun gun on the counter and handed over her mobile phone. On the mobile phone screen was a passage she had written in Chinese and had the machine translate into Sakura Island Language:
【Excuse me, could I know who bought this stun gun? Someone used it to save my life, but I don’t know who it was. If possible, please tell me, it’s very important to me, thank you. If you’re willing to tell me, please use this mobile phone to communicate via text translation.】
After reading it, the shop owner not only understood her intention but also realized she was a foreigner who couldn’t communicate in Sakura Island Language.
Of course, what made the shop owner more difficult was… revealing previous customer information didn’t seem to follow the rules.
Lu Qi saw the hesitation in the shop owner’s eyes, suddenly bowed deeply, then raised her head, clasped her hands together, and looked at him with an extremely pleading gaze.
Such a sincere gaze, plus the determination and perseverance of a foreigner finding her way to this small shop, immediately moved the shop owner.
Of course, what moved him even more were the two ten-thousand-yuan bills handed over in those hands.
It had to be said, this was really too sincere.
So the shop owner inputted on that mobile phone: 【This stun gun, I only sold three this month. Looking at the number, it was the one I sold yesterday. I don’t know who the buyer was, because it was contacted via network, he only provided an address. I had the store clerk deliver the stun gun, and it seems he didn’t see anyone, just left the package at the agreed place.】
【Can you tell me that address?】
While inputting this line of text, Lu Qi handed over another ten-thousand-yuan bill.
Shop owner: 【Since your intention is to give thanks and with good will, of course there’s no problem.】

Wang Heng sat in the inn’s room, browsing recent news pages on the computer.
The person who originally wanted revenge on society turned himself in, the person originally facing disaster was saved, seeing this, Wang Heng felt quite gratified.
“Now, there shouldn’t be any more accidents on Lu Qi’s side, right?” Wang Heng looked at the hamster on the bed and asked.
This little thing was lying on its back, exposing its white belly fur, boredly waving its little paws. Hearing this, it suddenly rolled over, squatted properly, and replied, “Of course it’s safe.”
“That’s good…”
The hamster squinted its little eyes in contemplation for a while, as if realizing some problem.
The next moment, it suddenly jumped up: “Oh yeah, where’s the sunflower seeds you promised!”
“What?”
“You promised me that as long as this mission is completed, you’d buy me sunflower seeds, as many as I want!”
Shouting this, the hamster hopped onto Wang Heng’s leg.
Wang Heng lowered his head, stroked its soft back, and put on a loving expression like an old father: “Okay, I’ll take you to buy some right now.”
Hamster: “…Don’t look at me like that, be normal.”
“I’m very normal, hahaha…”
Wang Heng laughed, tucked the hamster into his trouser pocket, and walked out of the inn.
The place where he bought sunflower seeds last time wasn’t far from the inn he was staying at, less than a kilometer, so he walked there.
Walking on the road, Wang Heng leisurely pondered—business is done, so what next? First time coming to Sakura Island, where to go? To Akihabara to buy some authentic notebooks?
He had already decided, upon returning home, he wouldn’t go back to Rongdu but directly to his hometown. Then, besides his father, he could see his buddy Xiao Renjian whom he hadn’t seen for half a year. At that time, pulling out the little notebooks bought in Akihabara, wouldn’t he be on his knees calling him daddy?
But he also had to consider one problem, whether such notebooks could pass customs…
Walking around a corner, just about to reach that small pet supplies store, Wang Heng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
What did he see?
Ten meters ahead, that older sister type in a forest-style long skirt, with a seductive figure and cold expression, wasn’t that Lu Qi!
In the blink of an eye, Lu Qi also noticed this side, her cold expression instantly melted, turning into an indescribable surprise. This wasn’t just the joy of meeting an acquaintance in a foreign land, but two surprises combined, brewing an even more intense happiness.
Lu Qi came before him in two steps instead of three, took out that stun gun, and laughed, “You dropped this, right!”
Wang Heng was dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.
At this time, the little hamster poked its head out from his trouser pocket.
Seeing that hamster was like seeing irrefutable ironclad evidence. What did that captain who turned himself in say? He saw God manifest, in the form of a hamster!
On the older sister type’s beautiful face, pure joy like a little girl’s appeared: “You used this little thing to scare that pilot, right? Definitely, no doubt!”
Wang Heng looked down at the hamster and couldn’t help muttering, “What a pit…”
He remembered clearly, yesterday when buying the stun gun, he contacted the seller online, casually specified a location, and had the hamster pick it up. Thinking about this step now, there was no big problem, the problem was, he shouldn’t have let the hamster handle the evidence!
Where did this bastard toss the evidence? Probably delivered it right in front of Lu Qi!
Wang Heng was still hesitating on how to respond, but Lu Qi, she took another step forward.
The distance between the two was already almost one step away, and with Lu Qi closing in like this, their faces were almost touching.
So Wang Heng instinctively stepped back.
Lu Qi approached another step.
Wang Heng stepped back again… oh no, his back hit the wall.
The older sister type’s fair palm pressed on the wall beside his head—although shorter than him, Lu Qi was wearing thick-soled shoes and deliberately tiptoed, so this wall slam pose looked quite natural.
The posture was so aggressive, but at this moment, her voice was extremely gentle.
Lu Qi softly asked, “Can you predict the future?”
Wang Heng: “?”
Lu Qi continued, “I’ve been waiting here like waiting for a rabbit for a long time, finally waited. Just a minute ago, I didn’t even know who the hero behind the scenes was, only knew the address where he picked up the goods, guessing he was still nearby. I actually didn’t hold much hope, it was almost a futile attempt… but you appeared. This can’t be explained by coincidence, don’t treat me like a fool.”
Wang Heng reached into his trouser pocket and hatefully pinched the hamster inside.
Guarded against everything, but still caught off guard!
