Chapter 386: How Pitiful

By the time Xiao Zhao arrived, right on schedule, Fu Mingxue had already finished packing.

Originally, she had planned to put everything into her space.

But on second thought, she decided against it.

In any case, she couldn’t put the things her mother-in-law had given her in there.

She herself carried a wicker suitcase, and as for what was inside—she had only packed a few changes of clothes.

Everything else had been stored in her space.

After stowing all the luggage in the car, just as she was about to tell Xiao Zhao to drive, she saw her sister-in-law arriving.

"Xiao Zhao, wait a second."

Just then, Qin Wenying pulled up.

"Just in time."

Fu Mingxue leaned out of the window. "Sis, what are you doing here? I thought you said you didn’t need to see me off."

’Her arm is still in a sling, yet she dares to ride her bike that fast with just one hand—just what you’d expect from a pilot.’

"I didn’t come to see you off. I came to give you something."

Fu Mingxue was a little baffled by her words.

"What is it?"

"Here, this is for you." Qin Wenying pulled something out of her pocket.

It was wrapped in red cloth.

This left Fu Mingxue completely bewildered.

She reached out and took the red cloth bundle.

Just as she was about to open it, Qin Wenying stopped her.

"Don’t look at it now. Wait until you’re back at the family compound."

Fu Mingxue was at a loss.

’What could it be that I have to wait until I’m back at the family compound to see?’

Still, she was one to take advice.

"Alright, I’ll look at it when I get back to the compound. Bye, Sis!"

Qin Wenying waved. "Goodbye! Have a safe trip, and don’t get kidnapped by human traffickers."

Hearing this, the corner of Fu Mingxue’s mouth twitched.

’Do I really look that much like a helpless little bunny?’

"Let’s go, Xiao Zhao."

Xiao Zhao immediately hit the gas and drove off.

Qin Wenying watched the car drive away before getting back on her bicycle and riding off.

Fu Mingxue arrived at the train station.

The train wasn’t due for another ten minutes or so, so she told Xiao Zhao he could leave.

But Xiao Zhao refused. "Group Leader Fu, Elder Ji specifically instructed me to see you onto the train."

Since his superior had given the order, he was determined to carry it out.

Fu Mingxue was at a loss.

Since she couldn’t get him to leave, she had no choice but to let him stay.

She really stood out. After all, she was stunningly beautiful, with a complexion so fair it seemed to glow.

Her clothes were clean and respectable.

A single glance was enough to tell she wasn’t poor.

And train stations were crawling with thieves.

They quickly zeroed in on Fu Mingxue, who looked like a naive, pampered rich girl.

Immediately, one of them made a move on Fu Mingxue—

The first one to make a move was the first to fall.

He was seized in a firm grip by Xiao Zhao.

"What do you think you’re doing?" Xiao Zhao’s expression was grim, his eyes sharp as daggers.

In that moment, he was the very picture of a competent guard.

The thief he’d caught looked scrawny and weak, no older than sixteen or seventeen.

’He hadn’t expected the rich girl to have such a formidable man with her.’

He immediately started struggling with all his might.

But unfortunately for him, he had run into a professionally trained guard.

"Let go of me! I didn’t do anything! I was just passing by—"

Xiao Zhao pried the razor blade from where the thief had it pinched between his fingertips.

"Just passing by? With this?"

The thief was dumbfounded.

Now he was truly panicking.

’What does this guy do for a living? Is he a plainclothes cop?’

He turned to look at Fu Mingxue.

’This woman looks so clean and delicate. She must be a real softy.’

And so, he immediately forced out some tears.

"Miss, I had no choice! My parents are dead, I have a bedridden eighty-year-old grandmother at home—and five little brothers and sisters to feed! Please, Miss, let me go! I know I was wrong—"
