Chapter 67

Following the direction of An Nuonuo’s finger, Jiang Xu saw a convenience store on the left side.

A familiar figure was shopping there.

Li Honghong!

That wasn’t the point; the point was that she was stealing!

The owner of this convenience store was a woman in her seventies.

Jiang Xu used to shop at her store frequently.

He knew a little about her situation.

Her husband had long passed away, her son had passed away in an accident years ago.

Her daughter-in-law ran away, leaving behind a young grandson.

She was the one who raised him on her own.

The two of them were wholly dependent on this convenience store for their survival.

Due to its location, the business hadn’t been particularly good.

Who would have thought that this woman would actually steal!

The old woman’s eyes were dim.

Li Honghong took advantage of the distracted state while she was talking to the old woman.

She stealthily put some expensive items into her bag.

An Nuonuo was extremely indignant: “How could she do this?”

Since they all lived near the area, An Nuonuo also knew some of the old woman’s situation.

Jiang Xu parked his motorcycle and told An Nuonuo: “You watch the bike, I’ll go.”

“Okay, be careful.”

Jiang Xu took out his mobile phone and turned on the video recording function.

Then he quietly approached.

The camera function of mobile phones nowadays is mediocre, but still functional.

Li Honghong’s attention was all on dealing with the old woman; she didn’t notice Jiang Xu was behind her at all.

This woman was really cruel.

She stole things that were relatively expensive.

Her bag was almost full.

It was worth at least seventy or eighty yuan, perhaps even more.

For the old lady, seventy or eighty yuan would take two or three days, sometimes even four or five days to earn.

This woman truly deserved to be damned!

Upon realizing her bag was almost full, Li Honghong finally stopped.

Then she casually bought a pack of spicy strips for fifty cents and left after paying.

Jiang Xu followed her.

He didn’t want the old woman to know about this matter.

After all, she was this old.

She had always treated everyone with sincerity.

If she knew children could have such malicious intentions, she’d surely be extremely heartbroken.

After walking for a while.

Li Honghong suddenly turned around.

She saw Jiang Xu behind her and got a start.

Immediately after, she cursed: “What’s wrong with you? Are you stalking me on purpose!”

With a stoic face, Jiang Xu went ahead, grabbed her hand and started walking forward.

“What are you doing, let go of me, help, he’s harassing me!”

Li Honghong screamed.

There was a law enforcement booth about ten meters ahead.

Jiang Xu forcefully dragged her towards it.

Two guards at the entrance heard the noise.

They immediately rushed over, asking what happened.

Li Honghong cried out desperately: “Help me! This man is trying to assault me!”

Jiang Xu let go of her hand, told the two guards: “I want to report a crime, this woman has stolen.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I did not!” Li Honghong got a start, then immediately became furious.

Jiang Xu waved his mobile phone: “Everything you just did, I recorded it all. You can’t deny it.”

Li Honghong’s heart pounded, her eyes showed noticeable fear.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about; I’m going home.”

She turned to run away but was caught by Jiang Xu.

He dragged her straight inside.

Then he showed the video he had recorded to the relevant personnel.

He then opened Li Honghong’s bag.

Seeing all the various snacks inside, it was clear whether she was guilty or not.

“Where do you live, which school do you go to? Why did you do this!” the staff member sternly demanded.

Li Honghong’s age was evident.

They definitely wouldn’t detain her, at most they would reprimand her, then ask her to return the items.

Li Honghong was terrified, shuddering, unable to speak.

Jiang Xu was on the side, turned on his camera, and recorded everything.

Finally, under the repeated inquiries of the staff member, Li Honghong confessed her motive for the crime.

It turned out that she had her eyes on a set of cosmetics, but she didn’t have the money to buy them.

Just so happens, some guests had come to her home that evening.

Her mother gave her a few dozen yuan and asked her to buy some snacks to bring back home.

Li Honghong wanted to pocket the money, so she thought of a devious plan.

She was talking and crying at the same time.

Saying how much she regretted her actions now. That she never should have done these things.

Jiang Xu sneered in his mind.

What she regretted was being discovered, not genuinely feeling remorse.

The staff member lectured Li Honghong, then took her to find her parents.

Another staff member was about to return the stolen goods.

Jiang Xu said he’d spent 100 yuan to buy them, asking them not to let the old lady know about this.

So the staff member accompanied Jiang Xu to the convenience store.

“Good evening, grandma. Could I have a bottle of Sprite, a non-frozen one, please.”

“Oh, it’s Xiao Xu. That’s fine; please wait.”

The old lady turned around to get the Sprite.

Taking this chance, Jiang Xu quickly threw the 200 yuan he was holding into the half-open cash drawer of the old lady.

The staff member immediately cast an approving look at Jiang Xu.

This kid has a good heart.

On the way, Jiang Xu told the staff member some details about the old lady.

The staff member felt even more angry about what Li Honghong had done.

He also bought some drinks and snacks from the convenience store as a small way of supporting it.

Leaving the convenience store.

Jiang Xu uploaded the videos he recorded to the class group chat.

Don’t talk about giving her another chance because she’s young.

She’s old enough, on the verge of becoming an adult.

She should take responsibility for her actions.

Moreover, this woman was never a decent person to begin with.

Maybe they could use this opportunity to get rid of her.

It’s a win-win situation.

“Jiang, how’s it going?” An Nuonuo pushed her motorcycle forward.

Don’t let her delicate appearance fool you, she was surprisingly strong.

Even pushing a motorcycle was swift work for her.

“Mmm, it’s taken care of. Also, why are you calling me classmate again? Call me big brother.”

“Classmate, classmate, classmate, hehe… ”

The girl stuck her tongue out at Jiang Xu, making goofy faces.

Jiang Xu pretended to be menacing, “Acting mischievous is it? Take that! And that! And that!”

Meanwhile, in the class group chat.

Accompanying the release of these two videos, the entire group chat exploded.

“My goodness, how could Li Honghong do such a thing?”

“Doesn’t her conscience hurt?”

“She actually stole from an old lady!”

“It’s a disgrace to be classmates with someone like her!”

…

Li Honghong was already unpopular in class.

Combined with what she had done this time, it was just too egregious.

Nearly all students expressed their anger at her actions.

After being taken home by the staff member, Li Honghong’s parents gave her a good beating after finding out about what she had done.

She hated Jiang Xu.

Lying on her bed, feeling wronged, she was about to message Zhou Qingyue to complain a bit.

However, the moment she turned on her mobile phone, she saw a flood of messages on QQ.

After finding out what had happened, she blacked out.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qingyue was in the middle of…
