When she turned around, she saw the police officer helping the thief up. The thief was saying something she couldn't understand, his face full of righteous indignation.
Zhuang Nainai was speechless. Was this person actually trying to say that she was in the wrong when he had been the one who stole her things?!
Zhuang Nainai deeply regretted going easy on the thief earlier. She should've landed a few more hits. What was she to do now?
Zhuang Nainai was extremely anxious. She used her rudimentary English clumsily in an attempt to communicate. However, she simply could not understand the police officer's accent! As she saw that she only had two more hours before she had to board her plane, and that she wasn't able to locate Si Zhengting, Zhuang Nainai was in such a hurry to leave that she pushed the police officer away and started walking.
The police officer immediately took out his electric baton and pointed it at her.
Zhuang Nainai was so frightened by this that she didn't dare to move an inch. She extended her hands out in front of her. She really wanted to cry at that moment. What kind of situation was she in, and what was she supposed to do now?
At that moment, she heard a beautiful voice calling her name. "Nainai!"
It was Si Zhengting's anxious voice that rang out. At that moment, it was so pleasant to the ear that when Zhuang Nainai heard it, her eyes turned red. She hurriedly turned around and looked at him, the rims of her eyes turning red. She wanted to say something, but she simply didn't know what to say. Her lips moved, but she stopped trying to speak after a while.
Si Zhengting had only taken a few steps away from her when he heard the people around him discussing something about a thief. He didn't know why, but he felt that this matter definitely had something to do with Zhuang Nainai. Hence, he hurriedly rushed back to her side and saw that she wasn't where he had left her just moments ago.
After he asked some people around him and figured out the situation, he grew anxious and hurriedly started searching for Zhuang Nainai in the huge airport. At that point in time, he really wished that he would be able to search the entire airport!
He finally saw her.
She seemed to have been put in a difficult spot. She seemed anxious, but because she was unable to retaliate through the use of force, she seemed slightly ashamed.
When she saw him, her eyes lit up and the rims of her eyes turned red. He felt emotional after witnessing this and hurriedly walked toward her. He hugged her to his chest, then glared at the police officer, his gaze icy cold as he spoke harshly in English to him.
The police officer arched his brow. However, perhaps because he was in awe of Si Zhengting's imposing figure as well, he finally lowered his electric baton.
Afterward, Si Zhengting whipped out his phone and called the American Embassy in China, explaining everything that had happened here in a few sentences.
Then, Si Zhengting made a few calls in succession. He spoke in English in some and in Mandarin in others. In the end, he handed the phone over to the police officer. The police officer eventually looked at them politely and apologized to them in English, saying, "Sorry."
However, Si Zhengting glared at him coldly. "I will reserve the right to pursue your role in this matter!"
Zhuang Nainai stared at Si Zhengting in awe. She felt that he was really cool in those moments.
After he had handled the matter, Si Zhengting led Zhuang Nainai back to where they had come from.
When they reached the entrance, Si Zhengting checked the time. "There's still time. I'll get us something to eat. Don't move!"
Zhuang Nainai nodded obediently and watched as Si Zhengting walked away. However, he turned back suddenly and said in a resigned tone, "Come with me."
Zhuang Nainai immediately nodded.
Si Zhengting was speechless.
The two ended up eating simply, then took the transfer flight throughout the night to Kentucky. If Zhuang Nainai had been alone, she wouldn't have known what to do next. However, with Si Zhengting by her side, everything became more convenient.
They soon found the convalescent home that Mother Zhuang was in.
