Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 22 Are you two in the same group?

Although the area within a dozen minutes' walk of chain hamburger restaurants and convenience stores is lively, the old houses behind the antique street are also very quiet at this point.

It is better to be suspicious than to have bad luck with bad people.

Shen You held his breath and focused on the movements behind him, quickening his pace to hurry back, and the other party's pace also quickened.

Only then did she become certain that someone was following her. What was worse was that near the entrance of her shop, where the street light was broken, there seemed to be a vague figure standing there.

The light is too dim to see clearly.

Was she being targeted and surrounded? !

The footsteps behind were getting closer and heavier, and Shen You turned around in a panic.

A plain, rough, square face appeared in front of him, looking to be in his forties.

He was holding a knife!

A trace of cruelty flashed across the man's face. He just raised the knife, and before he could say the three words "be honest", he was blinded by the light and shouted.

"what--"

He quickly raised his hands to cover his eyes, and right in front of him was Shen You holding a super powerful flashlight.

Once the light of this thing is turned on, it can be as bright as daytime. Not to mention humans, even ghosts can't open their eyes.

Shen You bought it specially and chose an imported brand.

When you live alone, you always have to be careful and don't skimp on self-defense items.

Sensing someone approaching, she decisively threw away the food and took out something from her bag.

If the other party has a knife, she won't rush forward.

Shen You yelled at the top of his lungs, "There's a sand man, there's a sand man!"

At the same time, he swung a baton in one hand and used an electric flashlight in the other to shock the man, causing him to shiver all over.

This kind of legal self-defense tool has a low current and is more of a deterrent than a suppressor, but it does hurt.

On the other side, the person standing in the shadows made a "tsk" sound and was about to come out to help.

Unexpectedly, what he saw was a man with a knife, and he was hit several times in a row.

He froze in place.

When Shen You heard another slow sound of footsteps, he quickly turned around and swung his baton over.

I didn't hit him, but an extremely handsome face came into my eyes.

He was wearing a simple shirt, walking slowly and calmly.

Her skin was as white as porcelain, her black hair fell in front of her forehead, and her eyes were beautiful yet contained a strange and bewitching look.

"Are you two in the same group?" Shen You asked vigilantly.

The man's eyes were full of confusion, and he laughed angrily, "How can I be in the same group with such a person?"

The voice is nice, but who knows if they are in the same group!

He lifted his long legs and walked towards the square-faced man who was about to rush towards him with a knife, with a look of disgust.

The square-faced man didn't know what happened, as if someone was strangling him by the throat. He sat on the ground with his eyes wide open, and the knife in his hand fell.

"Are you Shen You, the owner of the shop in front?"

"who are you?"

Shen You did not let down his guard, as the square-faced gangster looked strange and seemed like he was about to be killed.

The man smiled lazily, "The set of Da Qi porcelain in the collection is yours."

Hearing these words, Shen You's pupils trembled.

This person is coming for her. Who is he and how does he know Da Qi?
"What on earth do you do?"

She neither admitted nor denied it, but changed the subject.

"Xie Guanrong passed the imperial examination three years later, and became a high-ranking official fifteen years later." The man continued, "There is another ending to his fate. He starved to death while fleeing." "No wonder his calligraphy is so valuable." Shen You suddenly realized, "So who are you?"

Before he could answer, the police rushed in, along with some enthusiastic neighbors carrying hoes and rolling pins. It was unknown who took advantage of the chaos to hit the man twice.

Someone called the police as soon as they heard the noise, and the police station was only seven or eight minutes' walk away.

"Is Miss Shen You okay?" Uncle Zhang asked with concern.

"It's okay, thank you all for helping me call the police." Shen You expressed his gratitude sincerely.

The man with a knife was handcuffed and put into the police car. After Shen You calmed down, she felt a little sorry for the food scattered on the ground because she hadn't even had a bite of it.

"Is this your boyfriend? He's such a handsome guy." The neighbor praised.

Both of them frowned at the same time.

"Then you all go together to make a statement." The policeman spoke at this time.

"No, we don't." Shen You knew the two words but hadn't said them out loud yet.

The police uncle said seriously, "Witnesses also need to make statements."

"It's okay, you guys go ahead, I'll clean up the food on the ground." Uncle Zhang nodded to Shen You.

Finally, the two of them got into the police car together and sat in the back seat, one unhappy, the other watching and guarding the whole time.

When they arrived at the police station, the man with the knife shouted in frustration.

"I was lying in ambush outside her shop, waiting for her to return before taking action. I wanted to go in and subdue her and take some valuables."

"I don't know her. I used to live nearby and do odd jobs. Why do I have to live such a hard life? I can't even pay the rent, and I don't have money for medical treatment, but they live so well. I just can't accept it!"

Shen You was speechless and slammed the table.
"What's good about that?! My parents were tricked into being a guarantor by a relative, and he ran away with the money. My family is still in debt, who can I turn to for justice?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, and his malicious tone weakened.

Shen You is certainly not idle. He says these things to reduce the possibility of being targeted in the future.

"I came here to look for Shen You. I got lost here and searched for a long time before I found her store. I didn't expect to see someone robbing, so I helped them out."

"She said she didn't know me? Well, we really don't know each other."

The policeman who was taking the statement was speechless when he saw the young man opposite him.

If we hadn't confirmed his identity and knew that this man had so much property that there was no need for him to be an accomplice, his presence there would have been very suspicious.

"The record is ready, you can leave."

Shen You was worried and asked quietly, "Will that person come looking for me again after he gets out?"

"Armed robbery with a knife is a felony. Since you live alone, you can take some defensive measures at home." He then praised her for her good vigilance and said that this self-rescue was a success.

After going out of the door, Shen You and Wen Zhi both stood on the road outside the police station.

She looked in the direction of the cold drink shop selling tofu pudding, "Why don't you go get some? It's my treat."

She also wanted to find out why this person came.

"I won't eat in such a noisy place." He crossed his arms across his chest, revealing a bit of arrogance.

Ten minutes later, there were two empty bowls on the table opposite Shen You outside the cold drink shop.

She looked around, and seeing no one around, she asked quietly, "What do you want to see me for?"

Are you here to rob her shop?

That's absolutely not possible!
"Are you sure you want to say this here?" He ate quickly but gracefully.

Shen You smiled and said, "When you said that in front of the robber, he didn't seem to hear you."

Wen Zhi put down the spoon and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to see a shop that can connect different worlds. I think it's very surprising."

"I have modified the rules of Da Qi, but your store has not been affected at all."
