Chapter 143: Taking The Thief To The Police Station
The thief changed his mind and glanced around at the people.
There were few people in this alley; if he ran with that little baby, no one would notice.
“Little girl, why are you running? Come here, Dad.”
Yun Jiao saw that the thief suddenly stopped running and was walking towards her instead, her eyes flashing with cunning.
The most crucial point was that this person dared to call her “Dad”!
Yun Jiao’s little face puffed up, and small flames seemed to shoot from her beautiful big eyes.
She took a running start and charged forward.
The thief opened his arms and half-crouched, ready to grab her.
Yun Jiao jumped up, her little hands spread open, and at this height, she slapped him right across the face.
The thief only felt a sharp pain in his face, and the slap made his head snap to the side, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.
“Pfft…”
As he lay on the ground, the thief felt his head buzzing. The side of his face that had been hit was numb, and there was a bloody taste in his mouth.
He spat, and a tooth mixed with bright red blood fell to the ground.
The thief’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Before he could even react, his jaw experienced another violent wave of pain.
It turned out Yun Jiao had kicked his jaw.
Then Yun Jiao straddled him, raising her little hands to slap his face several times.
“Mmmph mmmph mmmph…”
The thief was in too much pain to even cry out.
His eyes were full of terror. What kind of child was this? This was no child!
The people in the alley were stunned by the sudden scene.
“How dare you steal my dad’s money! Thief!”
“Who are you calling Dad? Are you worthy!”
After beating him severely, Yun Jiao felt her anger subside.
She took her own stolen money back from him.
“Let’s go to the police station.”
Yun Jiao, still pouting, held the money and dragged the thief away by the back of his collar.
“Gasp…”
The thief’s neck was constricted by the collar, making him feel like he was suffocating.
He quickly grabbed the collar with his hands.
“Auntie, where is the police station?”
Yun Jiao looked for an auntie in the stunned crowd and asked.
The woman dazedly pointed in a direction: “There, that way.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
Little Yun Jiao politely thanked her and then, dragging the man who was constantly begging for mercy, firmly headed towards the police station.
The thief’s face was covered in blood, especially with the clear slap marks. Being dragged by such a small child made him incredibly conspicuous.
Someone came forward to ask what was going on.
Yun Jiao looked at the inquirer with her big eyes: “He’s a thief, he stole our family’s money.”
The inquirer looked bewildered. A thief? Beaten like this? Who did it?
It couldn’t be this seemingly obedient and soft little child, could it?
Hahaha… Honestly, those slap marks on his face looked… um… like they were from a child.
“Uncle, where is the police station?”
Having lost her way, Yun Jiao politely asked again.
“Uh… I’ll take you.”
Led by the man, they arrived at the police station.
At the entrance of the police station, Zhao Jianguo, who was strolling over with a porcelain tea mug, saw a familiar little figure approaching. Most importantly, she was dragging an unconscious person behind her.
“Pfft…”
Zhao Jianguo spat out his tea.
“Yun Jiao?”
Yun Jiao recognized him when she saw him.
It was the plainclothes police comrade who had interacted with their family when they caught the human traffickers.
“You… what is this?”
Yun Jiao dropped the thief on the ground.
“Uncle Zhao, this bad thief stole our family’s money.”
“Thief?”
Zhao Jianguo put down his porcelain tea mug and picked the man up.
Seeing the miserable state of the thief, Zhao Jianguo took a small breath.
This was no less than the human traffickers he had dealt with before.
“Jiaojiao, this… this wasn’t done by you, was it?”
Zhao Jianguo’s mouth twitched.
If he hadn’t personally experienced it, who would have thought this small, harmless-looking child was a violent little darling?
Zhao Jianguo quickly asked his colleagues to help the man up.
“Young Comrade Yun Jiao, where are your family members? How much money did that thief steal?”
Yun Jiao showed him the large stack of money she was holding.
“2212 yuan. We were selling fish today.”
Yun Jiao got angry again when she mentioned this.
“Jiaojiao chased a big fish for a long time, and after selling it, he stole it. He even tore Dad’s clothes.”
“Hiss…”
Good heavens, that was a huge sum of money!
That thief deserved to die.
No, what kind of fish did they catch to sell for so much money?
He felt a bit sorry for himself, earning only dozens of yuan in salary each month.
“Then where are your father and the others?”
Yun Jiao frowned: “We got separated while chasing him.”
To be precise, Yun Jiao had become separated from Yun Linhai and the others unilaterally.
“Okay, don’t worry. Just wait at the police station. Uncle Zhao will send people to find your father and the others.”
Yun Jiao nodded obediently.
However, as they were about to enter the police station, she touched her little stomach.
“I’m hungry.”
She looked pitiful.
She had only eaten breakfast and some sea urchin in the sea; she hadn’t eaten anything else since.
Her stomach rumbled.
Zhao Jianguo patted her head: “Wait, Uncle will buy you something to eat.”
Yun Jiao held the corner of his clothes, tilting her exquisite and overly beautiful little face up, her clear eyes looking at him.
“Together.”
Zhao Jianguo couldn’t resist the cuteness of the child.
How could such a good-looking child not be his own!
At this moment, Zhao Jianguo had unconsciously forgotten how she had beaten up the human traffickers and the thief.
Weren’t the human traffickers and the thief deserving of it?
He picked up the child, and the two, one big and one small, went to a nearby small shop.
The shopkeeper clearly recognized Zhao Jianguo and greeted him upon seeing him.
“Comrade Zhao, what would you like to buy? Is this your child? What a beautiful doll.”
She just didn’t look like it.
Zhao Jianguo had a square face and looked very righteous.
Yun Jiao, on the other hand, was exceptionally delicate.
These two didn’t seem to belong to the same category.
Zhao Jianguo waved his hand: “If only I had such a beautiful daughter, that would be great. This is a child from a friend’s family I know.”
“Jiaojiao, what do you want to eat?”
Yun Jiao looked around with her big eyes, unsure of what to buy.
The shopkeeper, learning that she hadn’t eaten and was hungry, recommended instant noodles to her.
“This is filling and can be eaten after soaking in hot water for a few minutes. And the taste is…”
The shopkeeper gave a thumbs-up.
The small shopkeeper had two types of instant noodles: one for five mao and one for eight mao.
The eight mao one had two noodle cakes.
Yun Jiao chose the eight mao one; she could afford it!
Just as she was about to take out the stack of money to pay, Zhao Jianguo quickly pressed her hand down.
“I’ll do it.”
Zhao Jianguo could still afford an eight mao pack of instant noodles.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhao.”
After Yun Jiao thanked Zhao Jianguo, they returned to the police station, and Zhao Jianguo immediately went to prepare instant noodles for Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao’s arrival also attracted the attention of many police comrades at the station.
The child was too beautiful, her skin glowed white, her hair was fluffy, and her features were delicate and pretty, like an exquisite doll sitting obediently on a small stool, licking a lollipop with great composure.
The lollipop was a gift from the shopkeeper.
