I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 397 This is called meeting a noble person when going out

At this moment, several patrolmen heard the commotion and quickly rushed over from the corner of the street.

They were dressed in uniforms and wore wide-brimmed hats, and the batons at their waists swung rhythmically with their rapid steps.

The leading patrolman had a serious expression on his face. He blew his whistle hard, and the sharp sound instantly cut through the noisy air. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Stop! Don't run!"

The patrolmen were agile and moved quickly among the crowd, trying to stop the thief.

However, the thief was small in stature and as agile as a monkey. He dodged left and right in the gaps between the crowd and cleverly avoided being caught by the police again and again.

He was like a cunning fox, taking advantage of the crowd and chaos to escape from the encirclement that was about to close again and again.

The onlookers watched the scene nervously, their faces full of concern and worry.

Sighs could be heard from the crowd from time to time, and some people couldn't help but whisper, "This thief is too cunning. I'm afraid the police won't be able to catch him."

"Yeah, that woman's bag looks to be hanging."

"..."

Although some people wanted to take the initiative to help, they didn't expect the thief to show the pistol at his waist.

"Come here if you're not afraid of death!"

After seeing the gun, those who wanted to be brave and righteous gave up the idea.

They didn't dare to gamble whether the man had bullets in his gun.

As the thieves successfully escaped time and time again, the crowds' discussions grew increasingly noisy, with some mocking them: "What's wrong with this patrol? They can't even catch a petty thief, yet they're so active in collecting taxes."

"That's right, what's the point of having these patrolmen? They can't do anything at the critical moment."

Hearing these taunts, the leading police officer was furious.

He cursed inwardly, "What do you unruly people know? This thief is so cunning, how can he be caught so easily? We work so hard to maintain law and order, and now you blame us for everything that goes wrong."

His originally serious face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were full of anger and shame.

He glared fiercely at the people around him who were talking, as if he wanted to vent his anger.

At the same time, he kept on chasing the thief in the direction he fled, muttering as he chased him: "I'll catch you today, little bastard."

However, the thief still moved flexibly among the crowd and soon left the police behind.

Everyone was immediately disappointed.

Just when the thief thought he had succeeded, he saw a black shadow flash before his eyes.

A figure suddenly appeared less than three meters in front of him.

The thief looked at Shen Lang who suddenly appeared in front of him in horror, his eyes wide open.

He immediately lifted up his clothes and said viciously, "Are you not afraid of death?"

"Sigh..." Shen Lang sighed lightly and took a step forward. His movements were as fast as lightning, making it almost impossible to see his movements.

The next second, he was in front of the thief, not only confiscated his pistol, but also grabbed the thief's collar and pressed him to the ground.

The thief struggled violently, but found himself like a lamb to be slaughtered in Shen Lang's hands, unable to break free at all.

His expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Let go! Otherwise, I will..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a "click", crisp and abrupt, as if a thunderclap exploded in everyone's ears.

It turned out that the thief's arm was broken by Shen Lang.

A shrill scream burst out from the thief's mouth.

The sound was sharp and long, like the cry of a night owl, echoing in the noisy streets, startling the birds in the surrounding trees to flap their wings and fly high.

The people around were originally watching this scene with bated breath, but were frightened by the sudden scream.

Some timid people even subconsciously covered their ears, with a look of fear on their faces.

Several women standing nearby were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

One of them clutched his companion's arm tightly, his fingers turning white from the exertion, and he muttered, "Oh, this is horrible!"

"Yeah, it's so brutal!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Lang and the thief. Someone in the crowd began to whisper, "Oh my god, isn't this Mr. Shen from the Pudong Group? He's so skilled, albeit a bit brutal!"

"That's right, but the thief had a gun, and Boss Shen wanted to subdue him."

Others shook their heads and sighed, "This thief deserved it. He stole things and dared to show his gun. Now he got his comeuppance."

The people around him finally saw Shen Lang's appearance clearly. Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "It's Mr. Shen from Pudong Group?"

"What's that look in your eyes? Are you recognizing me now?"

"Yes, that's right, it's him. I've seen his picture in the newspaper."

A murmur broke out among the crowd, and then, words of praise and compliments came like a tide: "Boss Shen is amazing. With such skills and courage, he is worthy of being a well-known figure in Shanghai."

"Yes, Boss Shen is not only good at business, but also so brave and courageous. He is really our role model."

"With Boss Shen here, there's no way this thief can escape."

The patrolmen finally caught up and finally squeezed in front of Shen Lang, with a look of embarrassment and admiration on their faces.

The leader blew the whistle again, making the noisy sounds around him stop for a while.

Then he cleared his throat and said, "Boss Shen, we are really grateful for your help today. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to deal with this cunning thief. Your skills are so good that we, the servants, are ashamed of ourselves!"

As he spoke, he took off his hat and bowed slightly to show his respect.

Other patrolmen also gathered around and followed suit.

Shen Lang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome, everyone. Maintaining public order in Shanghai is our shared responsibility. I just happened to be there."

His tone was humble and gentle, and he didn't show any pride at all because of everyone's praise.

"Boss Shen, you're too modest," the leading police officer continued. "Our police station will definitely report this incident and commend you for your heroic act. If Boss Shen needs any help in the future, please feel free to ask. We will go through fire and water to help you."

After saying that, he turned to the other police officers and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take this bastard back to the police station and interrogate him carefully to see if he has any other accomplices."

It was not until this moment that Wang Xueqin and Lu Ruping caught up.

Wang Xueqin's face flushed and she was breathing heavily. When she saw the bag in Shen Lang's hand, a hint of surprise and relief at surviving the disaster flashed in her eyes.

Before she stopped, she heard people around her talking about Shen Lang's identity.

Suddenly his eyes widened and his heart was filled with shock.

She never imagined that the person who helped her catch the thief was the boss of Pudong Group.

While she was shocked, she also started to make some calculations in her mind.

Although the Lu family has some wealth, Lu Zhenhua's business has had some setbacks recently, but it is nothing compared to the Pudong Group.

If the two can establish a relationship, it will undoubtedly be a great help to the Lu family.

Thinking of this, she quickly said, "So it's Mr. Shen from the Pudong Group. How disrespectful! Thanks to your help today, I must thank you very much. I wonder if Mr. Shen has time now. Why don't we go to the teahouse in front for a cup of tea so that I can express my gratitude."

"First check if there is anything missing from the bag." Shen Lang said.

Hearing this, the nearby police officer, Arthur, turned to Wang Xueqin with a broad smile on his face and asked respectfully, "Mrs. Lu, could you please check if everything is in this bag? Don't let that thief take anything while the situation is chaotic."

Wang Xueqin quickly took the bag and began to search carefully, nodding as she went. "Everything is here, nothing is missing. Thanks to Boss Shen and everyone for their help."

After hearing this, the policemen smiled with relief and kept saying "That's good, that's good".

After several policemen escorted the thief away, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Wang Xueqin looked at Shen Lang, her eyes full of enthusiasm and anticipation: "Boss Shen, then let's go to the teahouse in front for some tea?"

Shen Lang nodded in agreement, and the three of them walked towards the teahouse.

Along the way, Wang Xueqin kept finding topics to talk about: "Boss Shen, you must exercise regularly, otherwise how could you be so agile?"

Shen Lang smiled and responded, "I do spend some time exercising on weekdays. It not only helps me stay healthy, but also helps me protect myself and others in the event of an emergency."

Lu Ruping followed beside him and said, "Mr. Shen, thank you so much today, otherwise my mother's bag would never be found."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Wang Xueqin glared at her and then said, "Mom, this is called meeting an important person when you go out. Look, haven't we met Mr. Shen?"

Shen Lang secretly laughed in his heart: My dear, my dear, you will definitely be the ones kneeling when the time comes...
