Why is it different from what we agreed?

Jiang Baige panicked instantly.

But when she called Xia Ping'an again, Xia Ping'an didn't answer the phone.

After listening to the busy tone for almost three minutes in a row, Jiang Baige finally confirmed that Xia Pingan had made up his mind.

In this case, as her "ally", I must cooperate well and fulfill my promise: "When bricks hit you, I will definitely be by your side to protect you."

Although she hadn't heard the sirens yet, Jiang Baige knew that the police would arrive at the scene soon.

At this time, a man driving an electric car stopped next to Jiang Baige.

Jiang Baige suddenly had an idea and grabbed the other person: "Hello, do you work nearby? Can you lend me this helmet?"

The other party was startled by Jiang Baige: "You...what do you want this for?"

Jiang Baige did not answer the question, but said: "Or I can buy it with money! Or give you a deposit? Rent? Whatever is fine, I just need to borrow it for a few minutes."

"It's possible...but..."

The other party hesitated for a long time and didn't say the rest of the words.

Jiang Baige guessed that she might want money, but was too embarrassed to ask, so she simply took out the only hundred yuan in cash from her pocket - this was what she had taken out before going out today because she was worried that she might need it, and stuffed it into her hand, and at the same time took away the safety helmet in her hand.

The whole movement is done in one go.

After putting on the helmet, Jiang Baige turned her gaze to Xia Ping'an again. In her ears, she could vaguely hear bursts of sirens...

Jiang Baige raised her head, the dazzling sunlight pierced her eyes, and she was dazed for a moment.

But she quickly raised her head again, raised the telescope, and observed Cao Xiong's every move on the rooftop.

Cao Xiong was unaware of the impending "roundup" on the rooftop. He seemed to have seen Xia Ping'an walking out of the crowd in conspicuous red clothes...

Jiang Baige swallowed and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.

She hid beside a roadside flower bed, almost directly below where Cao Xiong was, forming a blind spot in Cao Xiong's vision.

But even so, she did not dare to slack off in the slightest, her eyes felt sore from not blinking for so long.

Xia Pingan is getting closer...

In an instant, Jiang Baige saw Cao Xiong raising his right hand holding a brick.

Just as the brick fell from Cao Xiong's hand, Jiang Baige rushed towards the red figure in front of her like a nimble cheetah and knocked her to the ground.

The next second, a red brick fell at Xia Ping'an's feet and broke into pieces.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Baige asked hurriedly.

Xia Pingan couldn't help laughing when he saw the helmet Jiang Baige was wearing: "It...it suits you quite well."

"Stop teasing me."

Jiang Baige turned sideways and saw a group of people in uniform pouring in from the newly opened gate of the Home Furnishing City.

It seemed that because of the big movement just now, Xia Pingan sprained his ankle.

In order to prevent Cao Xiong from seeing that his attack missed and trying again, Jiang Baige hurriedly pulled Xia Ping'an to the subway entrance.

There were already quite a few people standing there, and they all hurriedly hid after seeing the bricks being thrown.

They waited for a while before seeing Cao Xiong being carried by two policemen into a car. Two more policemen came to the place where the bricks fell, looking for the victim.

The onlookers voluntarily made way. The police saw Xia Ping'an rubbing her ankle and asked her if she could go to the station to assist in the investigation. They also said they could help her find a doctor to check her injuries and treat the wound simply.

Xia Ping'an agreed, and Jiang Baige went with her.

Before leaving, Jiang Baige did not forget to give the safety helmet to the girl who had not yet had time to go to work and was watching the excitement in the crowd.

"Thanks for the helmet," she said sincerely.

The girl took the helmet and stuffed a hundred yuan back into Jiang Baige's hand: "I saw everything just now... You saved that person, you are a hero."

"You are a heroine, sister." Jiang Baige winked at the girl and said, "You also deserve a share of the credit for saving this life."

***

Things developed just as Jiang Baige and her friends had expected.

Because this was not the first time Cao Xiong had caused trouble for Xia Ping'an. There was also a record of Xia Ping'an calling the police and Cao Xiong being detained.

Plus, Cao Xiong had stalked and harassed Xia Ping'an at this subway station before...

There is ample witness to every incident.

This time when Cao Xiong was smashing bricks on the rooftop, he also brought a high-powered telescope with him. This also shows that he was not randomly throwing objects from a high altitude, but was a premeditated murder with a plan and a target.

At the police station, Xia Ping'an finally had the opportunity to completely release the anxiety and pressure that had been accumulating in his heart for several months.

While taking the statement, she became more and more emotional the more she spoke, and she burst into tears several times, having to take a break before she could continue.

Jiang Baige's side ended quickly.

She readily admitted that she was the one who called the police, and said that she and Xia Ping'an met the last time Cao Xiong followed her, but she did not expect that she would save Xia Ping'an today.

Although what she said was a bit too coincidental, from the perspective of the case itself, she was not suspected of murder and saved the victim, so the police would not dwell on her any further.

As for Cao Xiong...

Although further investigation is needed to collect sufficient evidence before the subsequent transfer, trial and conviction can be carried out.

But if his suspicion of intentional murder is established, the prosecution will bring public prosecution even if Xia Pingan does not file a lawsuit.

This is also the result that Jiang Baige wants to see most.

It was already afternoon when she and Xia Pingan came out of the police station, and they were both hungry. Jiang Baige took the initiative to offer to treat Xia Pingan to a good meal to calm her nerves.

"You really scared me to death today!" Jiang Baige was still in shock when she mentioned this incident. "You don't even know, when I saw you weren't wearing that 'safety wig', I wanted to rush over and stop you!"

"You did jump at me."

Maybe it was because he released a lot of emotional pressure at the police station today, Xia Pingan now feels much more relaxed, and his shoulders are no longer always hunched.

"I knew you would be worried, so I turned off the sound of my phone. Later, when I saw your missed call, I felt a little guilty."

"Then why did you do that? To make it more realistic?"

"Yes. I tried all the helmets in the store, and basically they looked weird when I put on the wigs..."

So in order to take down Cao Xiong in one go, she decided to take the risk.

"But I'm not alone. I know you'll be with me."

In fact, Jiang Baige did save her. Although her ankle was sprained, it was much better than a bloody head.

"But... Bai Ge, do you think we can really send Cao Xiong to prison this time? Even if he is locked up for five or ten years and then released, he might still come to trouble me... Then what should I do?"

The same anxiety from before once again enveloped Xia Pingan.
