Chapter 2243 - 2146: Savior
Su Anning was furious, gritting her teeth in hatred towards the nosy onlookers around her, wanting to turn around and scold those gossipers, "What do you know!"
But at this moment, she had no mind to deal with those people around her, because that man, seeing her reluctance to give in, had already darkened his expression and looked at her with an extremely unfriendly gaze.
"Little girl, it’s not that Uncle doesn’t pity beauty, it’s just that your actions are too unscrupulous. This beauty can’t suffer at your hands, so no matter what, I need to seek justice for her. Since you refuse to give up the necklace, then don’t blame me for taking action myself!"
As he spoke, the man directly reached out his hand towards Su Anning’s neck.
Seeing this, Su Anning’s face changed dramatically, and she was so scared that she burst out crying, dodging the man’s hand and clutching the necklace in her hands tightly, unwilling to let go.
Just at this moment, Su Anning suddenly heard a clear and familiar female voice from above:
"An Ning, let go, give him the necklace!"
Hearing this voice, Su Anning was stunned, and instinctively released her grip on the necklace. The man, seeing this, couldn’t help but be delighted and pulled the necklace along with the laughing Maitreya right out.
Seeing the Maitreya, the man was momentarily stunned, his gaze flickered, and in the next second, he nonchalantly clenched the necklace and pendant in his hand.
Ignoring the man, Su Anning looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her and was immediately overjoyed, as if she had found a mountain to rely on. She quickly stood up and rushed towards the person in front of her, collapsing into her arms and burst out crying:
"Ning Ning, wah... these people... bullying others... I didn’t steal any wallet... it wasn’t me..."
The person who stepped out was none other than Huo Sining.
Before, Huo Sining had been standing on the sidelines, quietly watching the whole situation unfold. Now seeing those two finally couldn’t help but reveal their flaws, Huo Sining decided to step in.
She couldn’t help but look up, with a faint smile, at the man and the pretty young woman.
The man, seeing Su Anning rush into Huo Sining’s arms, guessed that Huo Sining must be an acquaintance of Su Anning.
However, despite Huo Sining’s pregnant belly, her youthful appearance made it obvious that she was quite young, so the man didn’t take her seriously, calmly handing the necklace and the pair of earrings Su Anning had dropped on the ground to the pretty woman, then turned to Huo Sining and said:
"Are you this little girl’s friend or relative?"
Huo Sining smiled: "Both friend and family."
The man nodded, saying, "In that case, it’s even easier. This little girl has sticky fingers and stole this beauty’s wallet. I happened to pass by, couldn’t bear it, and caught her red-handed."
"The wallet was found in your little friend’s pocket, but your little girl refuses to admit it, and the money in the wallet, well, she must have spent it somehow. This matter can be big or small, but this beauty is kind-hearted, and as long as she returns the money, she won’t press charges. Don’t you think that’s fair?"
Huo Sining nodded: "Fair enough!"
Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on the man’s face:
"That’s settled then, your kid is stubborn. We, with good intentions, don’t wish to see such a young girl sent to prison, so we had to take extreme measures and use the necklace around her neck as compensation. You should understand this, right?"
Huo Sining said with a smile: "Urgent situations require flexibility, nothing wrong with that, understandable."
The corners of the man’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up: "That’s good. This little girl has some character flaws, but you seem quite reasonable. So, I think we should end this matter here, beauty, do you agree?"
The pretty woman nodded quickly, smiling: "I’m not an unreasonable person. Since this lady has stepped forward, let’s just leave it at that. Little sister, I hope this event serves as a lesson to you, never do such things again!"
Saying this, the pretty woman turned around, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Su Anning panicked and was about to speak up to stop her, but Huo Sining quickly reached out to pull Su Anning, gently patting her shoulder to calm her before saying leisurely:
"Wait a moment!"
The pretty woman paused, bewildered, looking back at Huo Sining: "Ma’am, is there anything else?"
Huo Sining smiled and said: "I just arrived and haven’t quite figured some things out. I’d like to ask the miss, you said you lost a wallet, and that this little girl of ours took it. How much money did you lose exactly?"
The woman, hearing this, frowned: "There was originally over three thousand five hundred dollars in my wallet, but later this gentleman helped me retrieve my wallet from your little friend’s pocket, and the three thousand five hundred in whole bills were gone."
Huo Sining raised her eyebrows at this:
"Miss, are you saying that throughout this process, not just you, but also our little girl and this gentleman had contact with your wallet, is that correct?"
The pretty woman was momentarily taken aback, subconsciously asking: "What do you mean by that?"
Huo Sining smiled: "Of course, I have my reasons for asking this. I just want to ask you one thing, do you know this gentleman?"
Hearing Huo Sining’s question, the man on the other side immediately froze.
The pretty woman’s heart skipped a beat, her face betraying a nervous expression as she subconsciously raised her head to look at Huo Sining intently before shaking her head: "I don’t know him!"
Huo Sining nodded, a strange smile appearing on her face: "I see! Yingzi!"
Upon Huo Sining’s command, before the man could react, the next second, a spirited woman dashed out from the crowd, heading straight for the man!
The man, quick to respond, immediately sensed danger and hurriedly dodged, his face changing drastically, he glared at Yingzi and shouted angrily: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Yingzi remained silent, her attacks becoming even faster, overwhelming the man, and soon Yingzi subdued him with a grappling technique.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden change, just about to ask what was happening when the pregnant woman suddenly stepped forward, felt around the man’s pocket, and in the next second, pulled out a wad of neatly stacked banknotes from his pocket!
