Chapter 27
Chapter 27
As women go shopping, what they love to shop for the most are clothes and cosmetics. Shen Yin was not very interested in cosmetics. Instead, she was attracted by the many novel kitchenware in this era.
Zhengzheng sat in the shopping cart while Shen Yin pushed it. Shu Yi accompanied her to stroll around the large supermarket. Shu Yi wore a mask, sunglasses and a hat to cover up. Shen Yin was not a public figure so she did not wear any. Though they had different temperaments, there was no denying they were both gorgeous beauties. Even the little Zhengzheng in the cart attracted quite some eyeballs.
Cute lunch boxes, tableware... Shen Yin absolutely loved them. She wanted to buy whatever she saw. Shu Yi usually shopped online. Taking a rare stroll in the supermarket was quite fun for her. Seeing Shen Yin’s strong desire to shop, she took another cart specially for items.
After one round of sweep, the things Zhengzheng picked filled up her cart. Shen Yin then realized she had gone a little overboard and decided to check out.
“Ma’am, will you be paying by Alipay or WeChat?”
“WeChat.” Shen Yin took out her phone to bring up the payment QR code but it did not scan. She checked carefully and found there were only 8 dollars left in her account.
The situation was a little awkward. Shu Yi asked, “Did your internet crash? Let me pay for you.”
Shen Yin did not feel good letting Shu Yi pay. She opened Xu Xiuhe's chat and sent him a message.
[Can you transfer me some money on WeChat?]
The moment Xu Xiuhe received the message, he happened to be holding his phone. He did not understand why Shen Yin was asking him to transfer money to her when the company deposited money into her account every month.
Without asking, Xu Xiuhe transferred 50,000 yuan to her on WeChat.
Shen Yin accepted the money right away and paid the 3000 yuan for her purchases.
There were a lot of items so they were not easy to carry. Shen Yin looked for supermarket staff to help bring everything to the underground parking garage.
She and Shu Yi also followed the staff with Zhengzheng to the underground parking garage.
When they arrived at Shu Yi's car, Shen Yin thanked the staff and let them leave. Zhengzheng stood on the ground while Shen Yin and Shu Yi put the purchased items into the trunk one by one.
Suddenly, several vicious-looking men in black charged aggressively toward Zhengzheng.
Shen Yin reacted quickly to block them. “Shu Yi, take Zhengzheng into the car.”
Neither Zhengzheng nor Shu Yi had seen something like this before. They were terrified. Shu Yi picked up Zhengzheng and got into the car, covering Zhengzheng's eyes. Just as she was about to call the police on her phone... She realized the situation had changed.
Shen Yin moved swiftly and agilely. Shu Yi could not even see clearly how she did it. She maneuvered among the few men, kicking up, bending back, jumping up, squatting down, dodging, striking out.
The men in black did not expect a woman like Shen Yin to know martial arts and have such quick reflexes. She caught them off guard. Their original mission was to knock this woman unconscious first before kidnapping the child.
Now the circumstances had changed. One man in black took out a dagger. Under the cover of the other men, he charged toward Shen Yin's chest with the dagger.
The moment Shen Yin saw the dagger, her eyes changed. So they intended to kill. She had gone easy on them, not wanting to truly hurt them. Now that they were merciless, she would be ruthless too.
Shen Yin bent back at the waist to slide under the arm of the man wielding the dagger. She turned around and grabbed his wrist, forcing it down powerfully so that the dagger stabbed into the man's thigh.
The man in black let out a cry as blood flowed from his leg. He quickly used his hand to cover the wound and fell to his knees, the dagger dropping to the ground.
Seeing this, the fury of the other four men swelled. They closed in on Shen Yin. Considering that Shu Yi and Zhengzheng had been waiting in the car for quite some time, Shen Yin decided to end this quickly.
So Shen Yin jumped up and kicked one man's chin. With one hand, she warded off another man, then kicked at both their knee joints. She turned and used the same moves on the other two, knocking all five men down.
"Don't overestimate yourselves. Go back and tell your boss, next time you come, don't think about going back." Shen Yin's expression was icy cold.
Shen Yin opened the backseat door and got into the car.
Shu Yi looked worried. "Yinyin, are you okay? I just called the police."
"What did you say to the police?" Shen Yin asked.
"I said there was a robbery at the underground parking garage at Rongguang Shopping Mall."
"Okay, it's fine. Let's go."
Shu Yi was still nervous and drove the car up.
"Yinyin, you're so amazing. What kind of celestial treasure are you that you even know martial arts? You're more skilled than the martial arts director in the crew."
Shu Yi's expression had changed from anxious to worshipful.
Shen Yin patted her hand. "I'll teach you one day."
The police arrived at the scene and saw five men in black lying motionless on the ground.
Officer Wang turned to ask the junior officers, "Did you check the surveillance footage?"
A junior officer replied, "Officer, we just went to the surveillance room and saw that the cameras in the underground parking garage went out two hours ago."
Without surveillance footage, this case would be difficult to investigate.
Officer Wang said, "Bring these five back to the station for interrogation."
"Officer, their knees are injured," the junior officer responded.
"Is it serious?"
"One can't walk. He currently can't stand up."
"Send them to the hospital first."
In the interrogation room, the five men in black sat in a row. Officer Wang observed their expressions and asked, "Tell me what happened."
"Knock knock knock. Officer Wang, come out for a moment."
Wang Yupeng came out and asked, "Any discoveries?"
"The five men are respectively Meng Daxing, Zhao Tielei, Wan Xiang, Xu Kaiyuan and Sun Tao. All have prior records. The fingerprints on the dagger belong to Wan Xiang himself. Aside from the deep wound in Wan Xiang's leg, the other four all have knee fractures."
"The caller? Have you called to ask?"
"Calling right now."
When Shu Yi received the call from the police station, she was anxious and uneasy. "Yinyin, what should we do? The police called and found me."
Shu Yi was an actress who had acted in a lot of youth dramas. She had not experienced something this major before. It was normal to feel afraid.
"It's fine. Give me the phone."
"Hello, yes I was the one who called the police. Okay."
After hanging up the call, Shen Yin passed the phone back to Shu Yi. "Drive to the Rongguang District Police Bureau in Rong City."
At this point, Shu Yi felt like Shen Yin was her backbone. She drove toward the police station.
There were officers already waiting for them at the entrance. Shen Yin carried Zhengzheng as she and Shu Yi walked in together. They entered Officer Wang Yupeng's office.
"Ma'am, you can take off the mask and hat now."
Hearing this, Shu Yi thought there were no paparazzi around and removed her hat, mask and sunglasses.
The junior officer beside immediately recognized Shu Yi. "Ah, aren't you that campus goddess from the TV show?"
Officer Wang was slightly older and not familiar with youth dramas. He stared at Shu Yi for a while and said, "You're an actress?"
Shu Yi nodded. Officer Wang considered the case and asked, "What happened with those people?"
Shu Yi was a little afraid. Noticing Shu Yi's expression, Shen Yin spoke up, "Those people tried to rob our bags, but they didn't know I practice taekwondo."
Shu Yi added, "It was self-defense. They attacked first, and they even had a knife. To get away, to protect ourselves, we had to fight back. You can check the surveillance footage."
Officer Wang and the junior officers exchanged glances. It seemed they did not know the surveillance had been destroyed.
"Check these two's information." Officer Wang instructed.
They did not know until they looked it up. What a shock.
Zhengzheng was not too frightened. She was just sleepy and fell asleep in Shen Yin's arms.
The junior officer served tea to Shu Yi and Shen Yin. His tone had changed.
After a while, someone walked into the office.
