Chapter 240 Apocalypse 5
Chapter 240 Apocalypse 5
"Young lady, could you help me? I'm old and can't move anything anymore."
On the street, an old woman stopped in front of a little girl with a youthful face. Although the little girl's face was still very young, she was already over 1.6 meters tall. Standing in front of the old woman, she was half a head taller than her.
This young girl with a childlike face is Qin Baobao.
"I have something to do, you should ask someone else for help." Qin Baobao moved aside, trying to walk around this person.
"You can't leave, how can you leave?" The old lady reached out and grabbed Qin Baobao's arm. Her arm was very thin, easily held in one hand. It was white and delicate, clearly easy to subdue.
The greed in the old woman's eyes flashed briefly, then turned into astonishment.
With a gentle pull, the little girl easily broke free from her control, as if it were nothing at all.
Qin Baobao got goosebumps as soon as the stranger grabbed her. Who was this person? He started touching her inappropriately right away. He had no manners at all.
Qin Baobao took out a tissue from her spatial storage and wiped her wrist repeatedly after it had been touched.
"Are you looking down on this old woman?" The old lady's surprise turned into anger, and she glared at Qin Baobao through gritted teeth. She had only tried her luck, but she never expected to encounter someone like this.
I can't blame myself for this.
"This old woman is so old, and I've never seen a young man like you before. You look all dressed up, yet you look down on an old woman like me." Then she put the apples she had bought on the ground, sat down with a thud, and burst into tears.
"The little girl is bullying the old lady! Everyone come and judge this!" The old lady shouted, and a crowd immediately gathered around.
"How could someone so young push an elderly person to the ground?" Someone immediately judged the incident after seeing Qin Baobao standing while the elderly person sat on the ground.
"Exactly, that's so unethical, let's call the police."
The old woman paused in her sobs, then wailed even louder. "This old woman is frail and weak; I just wanted someone to help me, but I never expected it to turn out like this. Heaven is blind! Heaven is blind! How could the world have become like this? That girl is heartless, has no compassion, and even looks down on this old woman for being dirty."
"How could my old woman be so disliked for the clothes she just changed before leaving the house?" Fang Ruo asked in a sorrowful voice, feeling deeply wronged and filled with incomprehension at the ugliness of human nature.
More and more people gathered around to avenge the old woman's wrongdoing.
Beneath the old woman's sorrowful brows, a slight, triumphant smile curved her lips.
Hmph, you're still too green to mess with me.
Then he wanted to see the other person's panicked face to put an end to his performance.
The old lady raised her aged face and looked over.
Unexpectedly, the little girl continued wiping her wrists, unhurried and calm. She made herself look like a clown putting on a great show.
How can this be?
How is this possible? !
“This girl looks heartless. Can anyone help me? I don’t need anything from her, just that she take me home. After all, she’s still young and a child, so we can’t be too harsh on her.”
Then she looked at Qin Baobao with pleading eyes, as if she were her lifeline.
The saying "old people become shrewd" perfectly describes an old lady.
She knew that relying on anyone around her was unreliable; only by focusing public opinion on the little girl would she be swayed by the crowd and follow her lead.
The people around were indeed fooled, both by the old lady's gentle handling and by the little girl's arrogant attitude.
“How can we let this kind of person off so easily? We must make her apologize to the old lady before sending her to the hospital.”
“I’ve already done a live stream. If you have any conscience, hurry up and help the old lady up.”
"She looks so gentle and quiet, but I never expected her to be such a heartless wretch. Hurry up and take the old lady home." The accusations and insults around her seemed to be a tidal wave, trying to drown Qin Baobao.
Qin Baobao finally stopped wiping her wrists. Looking at the surrounding gazes, some angry, some accusatory, and some evasive, she smiled gently.
"Mother-in-law, are you really sure you just want me to take you home?"
“Of course,” the old woman’s eyes shone brightly. “Don’t worry, my home isn’t far from here. The young girl is kind-hearted. It was just my own carelessness. Don’t take it to heart.”
"will not"
Qin Baobao picked up the apple from the ground and walked forward. The old lady scrambled to her feet and quickly followed.
The people around dispersed, finding nothing interesting to watch.
There was only a little girl in an orchid-patterned dress, holding a cell phone and trailing far behind.
Human hearts are fickle; a person who has been coerced is unlikely to be so kind. She wouldn't feel at ease until she saw the old lady being sent home.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Mengli, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen was secretly following her.
The old lady led the group into an old residential complex, one that Jiang Mengli also knew. It was said that it would be demolished and rebuilt soon, with the upper floors remaining residential and a large shopping mall to be constructed below.
When she found out, she regretted it for days. The property prices here were cheap, and it was located in the city center; she should have bought two apartments. She was devastated.
There were only two or three people in the neighborhood, making it seem quite desolate compared to the bustling city center.
Jiang Mengli's deep-seated vigilance began to rise, and she hesitated whether to go in. If she didn't go in, what would happen if the girl did that to the old woman? At that moment, she suddenly thought of the human trafficking cases she'd read about online, and how similar it was to her current situation. Under the guise of helping, a strange girl was being lured to an unfamiliar place. If that girl had suffered something, Jiang Mengli would never forgive herself.
do not care……
The little girl took a step forward with a death-defying air, as if she were about to step into some kind of cannibalistic abyss. Suddenly, a large hand patted her on the shoulder, and in the midst of her tense state, Jiang Mengli felt as if her three souls and five spirits had instantly left her body.
"Oh my god, is it a ghost?"
Turning her head, she saw a shy-looking boy standing behind her, his eyes wide with surprise, seemingly not understanding why she was making such a fuss.
Jiang Mengli's heart sank halfway, and she took a step back, staring intently at him.
"Don't misunderstand, um... I'm a good person."
Jiang Mengli took another step back. People who say things like that are usually not good people.
“I saw everything that just happened,” the boy recounted how Qin Baobao was being extorted, then scratched his head sheepishly. “There were too many people there, I… I didn’t dare to step forward.”
The little girl was completely relieved. "It's okay, let's hurry up and catch up."
The two of them wasted some time and eventually lost track of the person.
From the first building to the last, we didn't see a single person.
“Damn it! The evil happened right before my eyes, but I couldn’t stop it, and I even became the one who pushed it along. If anything happens to that girl, I won’t be able to forgive myself.”
Jiang Mengli stomped her feet in frustration. The little girl had a dream of becoming a police officer, even though what she was doing now had nothing to do with being a police officer.
"Don't rush, let's look again."
"Ah, a monster, there's a monster..."
"It's the old lady's voice, let's go quickly." The two exchanged a glance and hurried back.
