Chapter 380: You knew it was dangerous, why did you run out?
Just as Zhou Jiaguang was about to run away, the little girl he saved stopped him and said gratefully, "Thank you, comrade. My name is Xiao Jingjing. What's your name? Where do you live? Let my brother and parents come to thank you someday."
Zhou Jiaguang didn't understand why the little girl didn't run for her life after escaping danger, but was still talking nonsense here. Seeing that the two young generals were ready to get up and take revenge, he had no choice but to pull Xiao Jingjing forward...
While running away, the handkerchief on Zhou Jiaguang's face fell off.
Xiao Jingjing didn't expect that the person who saved her was so handsome. She was so stunned that she didn't even hear Zhou Jiaguang talking to her.
Zhou Jiaguang gently pushed Xiao Jingjing: "Hey! What are you daydreaming about? The people behind you haven't caught up yet, you should go home quickly."
Xiao Jingjing came back to her senses and said blankly: "I... I'm scared. There are so many people outside who want to catch me. I don't dare to walk on the street alone. Can you take me home?"
Zhou Jiaguang: "Why did they arrest you?"
Xiao Jingjing: "Those people are a rebel organization. They want to arrest me and threaten my father."
Zhou Jiaguang: "You knew it was dangerous, why did you run out?"
Xiao Jingjing lowered her head and bit her lip, and whispered in defense: "It's too boring at home. I've been locked up for many days. I want to go out and get some fresh air. I don't know if I will be chased.
It was only when I was being chased by them that I realized their purpose…”
Zhou Jiaguang looked at the "weak and innocent" Xiao Jingjing and sighed helplessly: "Where do you live? I'll take you back. Don't run around anymore."
Xiao Jingjing: "I live in the garrison compound. Sorry to bother you."
Zhou Jiaguang didn't know where the garrison compound was, so Xiao Jingjing told him the approximate direction. The two didn't dare to take the main road, so they could only shuttle through the alleys.
Along the way, Xiao Jingjing kept talking, asking Zhou Jiaguang which unit he worked for, where he lived, or what his interests and hobbies were.
Zhou Jiaguang observed the surroundings and asked, "Do you like to talk so much at home?"
Xiao Jingjing blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Yes, my dad and my three brothers don't like to talk, so my mom asked me to talk more, saying that this way the house wouldn't be lonely. My dad and the others like to listen to me talk, and they always praise me for being smart."
Zhou Jiaguang seemed to see his childhood self in Xiao Jingjing, the same innocent, pure and lovely person. His attitude towards her softened a lot, and the two talked as they walked.
During the conversation, Zhou Jiaguang easily learned about Xiao Jingjing's family information: her father was the deputy commander of the garrison, her mother worked in the provincial government, her eldest brother and sister-in-law worked in the Southwest Military Region, her second brother was a commander and fighter in the garrison, and her third brother was a public security officer.
In exchange, Zhou Jiaguang told his name and that he worked at a radio factory.
He didn't want to tell it, but he couldn't stand Xiao Jingjing's constant questioning. He also didn't want to deceive his "kind", so he had to tell her.
Zhou Jiaguang did not disclose the information of other family members...
When they were almost at the garrison compound, a group of soldiers rushed over with guns drawn and surrounded the two men.
Zhou Jiaguang reflexively protected Xiao Jingjing behind him and asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Wenyan stepped forward and said sternly: "Put down your weapons and hand over my sister, or we will shoot!"
Zhou Jiaguang was startled and quickly dropped the sword in his hand.
Xiao Jingjing recognized his second brother's voice, ran to Xiao Wenyan, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are here! That man is a good man, his name is Zhou Jiaguang, I was chased, and he saved me, you should withdraw your people quickly and thank him."
When Xiao Wenyan heard that it was Zhou Jiaguang who saved his sister, he stared at him for a few seconds, then gestured to the soldiers surrounding Zhou Jiaguang to retreat, and said lightly: "Thank you."
Zhou Jiaguang: "You're welcome. I just happened to be passing by. It's very dangerous outside. Please keep an eye on Comrade Xiao. I have something else to do at work. I'll leave now. See you again if we're lucky."
Xiao Jingjing was a little reluctant to leave and wanted to say a few words to Zhou Jiaguang, but Xiao Wenyan held her tightly.
After Zhou Jiaguang left, Xiao Jingjing said unhappily, "Second brother, you thanked him without any sincerity, and you even stopped me from talking to him. I won't talk to you anymore."
Xiao Wenyan: "People are evil. Who knows if he is in league with those bad guys? Is he deliberately performing the 'hero saving the beauty' trick to make us let down our guard?"
Xiao Jingjing: "He is so handsome and righteous, he is not a bad person, you are too narrow-minded!"
Xiao Wenyan: "I won't argue with you. I will find out who he is. You ran out without permission and made us worry. Go back and write a self-criticism. Otherwise, when dad comes back, you will be in trouble!"
Xiao Jingjing didn't want to write a self-criticism, and was afraid that her father would scold her with a dark face, so she pulled Xiao Wenyan's arm and said coquettishly: "Second brother, you are the best second brother. It's not time to get off work yet. My parents probably don't know that I ran away. Can you not tell them?"
Xiao Wenyan: "The moment you left the house, the police officer called Dad, otherwise how could I bring people out to look for you?
You've caused us a lot of trouble. You must write this self-criticism seriously. If you don't deeply understand your mistakes, don't expect me to cover up for you in the future."
Xiao Jingjing: “…”
Although Xiao's father Xiao Songbai and Xiao's mother Xu Yuefang love their youngest daughter, they are never ambiguous on major issues, especially when it comes to their child's safety.
Not only was Xiao Jingjing required to write a 5000-word self-review, which would have been invalid if the content was not up to standard, she was also fined half a year's pocket money and asked to give a detailed account of how she was being chased and how Zhou Jiaguang rescued people.
After listening to Xiao Jingjing's description, Xiao Songbai said to his third son Xiao Wenrui, who worked at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, "Go check Zhou Jiaguang's information to see if he is telling the truth or not. Check his family members as well."
Xiao Wenrui: “Okay!”
Xiao Songbai would certainly not let go of the group of people who wanted to kidnap Xiao Jingjing. Those people used the organization's policies to steal guns and ammunition, and they also had the support of the bad guys. As the deputy commander of the garrison area, he was powerless to do anything about it.
Since armed fighting is "legal", he will use legal means to deal with those people.
She dared to kidnap his daughter and even wanted to blackmail him. She must be tired of living!
Xiao Songbai called Xiao Wenyan to his study to talk, and asked him to bring a group of confidants, change into the clothes of other factions, snipe several leaders of the other side, and destroy their contact points...
After Xiao Wenyan received the task, it only took him two days to get the job done without causing any trouble.
Now bloody incidents occur almost every day in the city. Some organizations have built fortifications, occupied commanding heights, and attacked the other side with stolen grenades, rifles and machine guns.
Everyone seemed to have returned to the war years. As for the fleetingness of many lives, everyone else had become accustomed to it, except for their parents who were extremely sad.
What qualifications do ordinary people like them have to take care of things that the government doesn't care about?
Their biggest wish is not to be picked on...
