Chapter 230: Meeting Her Today, They’re Unlucky!

Chapter 230: They Picked the Wrong Day to Mess With Her!

"Ah~"

A strange, intense pain shot through them as the two men were zapped by the stun baton in Su He's hand, their eyes rolling back.

Before long, both were completely knocked out.

Even as they passed out, their bodies continued to twitch uncontrollably.

Su He watched the scene with a cold smile.

They picked the wrong day to mess with her!

Though she could have fought them physically, such disgusting men weren’t worth getting her hands dirty.

A phone booth was right there, so Su He immediately went in and called the police.

Trash like them, of course, should be handed over to the authorities.

After all, this was a period of a crackdown on crime—attempting to assault someone right out in the open was beyond despicable.

After clearly stating the address, she asked if the police needed her to stay at the scene until they arrived.

Considering Su He was a woman and might still be in danger, the officers told her to stay inside the phone booth and not wander off—they’d be there soon.

Su He sat quietly inside the booth, glancing at the dimly lit street.

The two men remained still out cold on the ground, though they’d probably wake up by the time the police arrived.

Soon, two police cars with flashing lights screamed to a stop by the phone booth.

Worried for Su He’s safety, the officers came to get her to safety first.

Four policemen arrived in total, all of them young.

"Ma’am, are you alright?"

The leading officer couldn’t help but turn a little red as he looked at the beautiful woman before him.

"I’m fine."

Su He put on a scared act, then her eyes flicked toward the two men who had just sat up. She quickly pointed at them, faking panic.

"Oh no, they’re up!"

Hearing this, three officers immediately rushed over and pinned the dazed men back to the ground.

The two men, still groggy as they staggered up: ?

Su He hurried over as well and accused them, "Officers, it was these two—they tried to assault me right on the street! Luckily, I know some moves and managed to knock them out. If it had been another girl, who knows what could’ve happened!"

One of the creeps finally regained enough awareness to glare at Su He and curse, "You fucking bitch!"

The moment he spoke, one of the officers stomped on him, making him yelp.

"We’re standing right here, and you dare pull this shit right in front of the police? Take them away," the lead officer said coldly.

"Officers, we didn’t do anything! We’re being framed!" the other thug protested.

But the police wouldn't listen to them anymore—their earlier remark of "bitch" had already said it all.

"Ma'am, where do you live? We'll take you home," the young officer in charge said to Su He.

"Oh, sure. My home is just nearby, about a kilometer away," Su He replied gratefully.

Just one kilometer, and she had almost been—

It really showed that city safety still needed improvement.

Thinking of the recent orders from higher-ups, those two arrested thugs were probably going to get a long sentence this time.

Who told them to commit crimes right when the crackdown was at its peak? The officer mused.

After escorting Su He to her doorstep and seeing that she lived in the hospital's staff quarters, the officer couldn't help but ask, "Are you a doctor?"

"Oh, no, my husband is," Su He answered with a smile.

She’s married already? She looked so young. The young officer couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Thank you so much for today," Su He said with a smile.

"No problem. Just be careful when going out at night from now on."

With that, the police car drove off.

As soon as Su He stepped inside, Fu Yanju came to greet her.

"There you are! What kept you?" Fu Yanju asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. My order just came in, so it took a while," Su He lied casually.

"The goods arrived? Why didn’t you call me to help?"

"Sis, your hands’ll be full tomorrow—there’s a ton of inventory in the warehouse," Su He said with a laugh.

Seeing that Su He really seemed fine, Fu Yanju let out a relieved sigh.

"Alright, I’ll take care of it tomorrow."

Su He just didn’t want Fu Yanju to know what had just happened—otherwise, she’d never let her stay alone at the shop at night and would demand to close shop with her.

"Hey, sis, your grand opening bonus." Su He stuffed a red envelope into Fu Yanju’s hands.

"W-wait—you’re giving this to me now?" Fu Yanju was both nervous and excited.

"Of course. No joke. This shop’s just the start. So keep at it, and help me run this place well," Su He said with a smile.

"I-I’ll give it my all!" Fu Yanju quickly replied.

"Alright, I’m going to shower and rest. You should get some sleep too—we open early tomorrow. Oh, are Zai Zai and Niu Niu asleep?" Su He turned to head upstairs as she spoke.

"Yes, yes, both kids are out cold. They’ve been angels," Fu Yanju answered promptly.

With the business just starting up, she had been so busy that she had barely any time with the kids as before. She wondered if they might be reading into it.

Su He cracked open the kids’ door, walked to their beds to peek at their sleeping faces, then quietly left the room.

Off to shower. Tonight, she’d sleep with her two little ones—not like Dr. Fu’s home tonight anyway.

As for Fu Yanju, she was over the moon ever since receiving the red packet from Su He.

After opening the door to the room she shared with Wan Er, she clicked the light on gently and sat on the edge of the bed, her hands trembling as she opened the packet.

This was her first wages—the first money she had ever earned through her own hard work and effort.

When she opened the red packet, the amount inside blew her away.

It was a crisp hundred-yuan bill—a whole hundred yuan!

Su He—

Su He had given her a red packet with a hundred yuan.

Fu Yanju felt that Su He had given her too much and was about to go return it when Wan Er stopped her.

"Mom."

"Hmm? Did I wake you up?" Fu Yanju looked at her sweet and thoughtful daughter and couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

"No, I woke up on my own. Mom, why are you crying?" Chen Waner sat up and wiped the tears from the corners of Fu Yanju's eyes.

"Mom is just happy. These are happy tears. Look at your auntie—she gave me such a big red packet.

She’s good in every way, except she’s too big-hearted for her own good.

I ought to give this back. Just a small token, like ten yuan or so, would be enough.

That's no way to run a business! Giving out such a big red packet when she's just starting out?"

As she spoke, Fu Yanju stood up.

Just then, Chen Waner called out to her again.

"Mom, you should keep it."

"Hmm? Waner? What did you say?" Fu Yanju was surprised—her usually quiet daughter was telling her to accept the money.

"Mom, this is Auntie’s kindness from the heart.

It’s not just for the hard work you’ve put in these past few days, but also to encourage you to give her your best work in the future.

Mom, from now on, let’s give it our all to help Auntie.

When I grow up, I’ll pay her back tenfold too."

Her daughter’s words took Fu Yanju's breath away.

Finally, she broke into a warm smile and stroked Chen Waner’s head, saying:

"I never expected that something so simple, I couldn't see, but you'd see what I couldn't.

Alright, Mom will keep this money. From now on, the two of us will throw in with your aunt.

No matter what happens in the future, we’ll always have her back."
