50 Good Deeds
“I don’t regret it.” Upon hearing the old policeman’s slightly sarcastic words, Le Wan snorted.
The old policeman smirked and sneered.
“Look at your face. It’s written all over your face that you’ll dare to do it again next time. Why don’t I contact your parents and ask them to strengthen your crisis awareness?”
“I won’t do it again. I promise I’ll look for you the moment I encounter any trouble.”
If her family knew about this, they would hold her captive and nag at her for a long time. They might even send someone to keep an eye on her. Le Wan was not willing to suffer such a punishment.
“What next time?”
When he heard from the nurse that there was a dispute in the hospital, Zhai Jing’s heart skipped a beat when he realized that the little girl they described seemed very much like Le Wan. He hurriedly ran down the escape stairs. When he saw that Le Wan was still alive and kicking, he felt relieved. However, he heard her say “next time”.
“Hey, why did you come down here?” When Le Wan saw him, she suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason.
The old policeman caught her expression and gave Zhai Jing a meaningful look.
“This must be your girlfriend. Take her back and educate her so that she won’t be so bold next time.”
Just as Le Wan was about to retort, Zhai Jing naturally came up and held her hand. Le Wan immediately fell silent.
He bowed to the old policeman.
“Sorry for the trouble.”
The old policeman quickly jumped away.
“I didn’t do much today. You don’t have to thank me.” After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
The young police officer smiled and apologized to Le Wan,
“Don’t take it to heart with the criminal police officer. When he was out on a mission, he met a young man who was also doing a good deed. He was unlucky and was stabbed twice by the criminal, and he couldn’t be saved. Officer Xing has always remembered this. That’s why he was so angry when he saw you acting so rashly.”
Le Wan waved her hand nonchalantly.
“I know he’s worried about me. I won’t take it to heart.” She could still distinguish between good and bad, which was why she obediently let him scold her.
Chen Wei had also calmed down by now. He knew that his actions had been too impulsive and he had almost stepped onto the path of eternal damnation. He came over to thank Le Wan with a face full of shame.
“Young lady, thank you for saving my and my daughter’s lives.”
Looking at him now, his face lacked that gloominess, and he looked like an honest middle-aged man.
It could only be said that one could not judge a book by its cover. When a person was forced to a dead end, who knew what kind of terrifying existence he would turn into?
Le Wan was about to move when she realized that her hand was still in Zhai Jing’s. She struggled unnaturally for a while before Zhai Jing let go of her hand.
Suddenly, Chen Wei took a step back in fear. Zhai Jing was staring at him with a pair of deep eyes.
She coughed and Zhai Jing looked away.
Le Wan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote down a phone number for him.
“You can contact this person. Tell him that a lady with the surname Le introduced him to you. Maybe he can help you.”
When a company had grown to a certain level, it would inevitably launch some charity projects to win the public’s favor for the sake of its public image. The Le family was no exception.
In addition to the annual routine donation, the company had also set up a foundation dedicated to helping rural women’s rights and interests. Chen Wei’s daughter just happened to meet the requirements of the foundation. If she applied in her name, it would be relatively easy to pass.
When Chen Wei saw that she didn’t care about his actions and even wanted to help him, he quickly took the note and left with endless gratitude.
Zhai Jing looked at his relaxed back view and felt very unhappy.
“Are you so good to everyone?”
“How is that possible?” Le Wan was shocked.
“Do you see the word ‘Virgin Mary’ on my forehead?”
She only remembered some old things. At that time, after her father passed away, her mother had mental problems and needed to be hospitalized. Back then, she only had less than 100 yuan on her card. She sat in the hospital’s stairwell and cried helplessly. She happened to meet an old man, who was a teacher. After hearing about her situation, he gave her the month’s pension and let her pay for the medical expenses.
The old man said, “If I only had this little money on me, I wouldn’t be willing to give it to you. But now, I obviously don’t have this little money. So, since it can save your mother. Isn’t this a good deal?”
Le Wan had always remembered this sentence.
Therefore, she was not a saint. Just like the old man had said, it was within her ability to pull people up. It was effortless for her, so she did it.
At this moment, neither of them had expected that because of her good deed, they would receive an unexpected reward.
