The young man and woman did not notice that Zhang Zian was following them at first, but due to the dense flow of people in the capital and the complex terrain of the old city, Zhang Zian did not dare to follow too far. Otherwise, he would easily lose them.
As Zhang Zian walked, he was thinking about how to deal with the two fraudsters and suspected human traffickers. The most straightforward way was to detain them and not let them go. Then, he would call the police and interrogate them on the spot. However, he was not sure, because ordinary citizens did not have the power to enforce the law. Restricting the personal freedom of others without authorization would be a criminal offense, and he could not afford to take the responsibility.
It was okay to be a good Samaritan, but if it might violate the law, then he could only find another way.
Another way was to find the police station nearby and run to the police station to report the case. But if he did that, he would inevitably lose track of the young man and woman. It would be difficult to find them again, and it was uncertain whether the police would pay attention to it. If he encountered an irresponsible police officer, then he would lose everything. He would lose a lot and gain nothing.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel that it was a pity that this was not Binhai City. Otherwise, he could call Sheng Ke, and Sheng Ke would definitely pay attention to it. This was what it meant to have connections in the government!
For the time being, he could not think of any other way. He could only continue to follow them and be ready to act according to the situation.
Although the young man and woman were young, they seemed to have accumulated a wealth of anti-reconnaissance experience. It may also be that they had a guilty conscience. When they walked, they habitually looked back. It did not take long for them to discover that Zhang Zian was following them. After all, he was relatively close to them, and his actions could not be exaggerated like in the movies. Otherwise, he might be reported by others in minutes.
Now that they had discovered him, Zhang Zian decided not to hide anymore. He switched from stalking them secretly to stalking them openly. When they walked, he walked. When they stopped, he stopped. He always kept a distance between them. If they had the guts, they could call the police. If the police came, they would confront them.
He knew that they would certainly not dare to call the police.
There was a brief panic in the two's expression. They stopped and discussed for a while. Their tone was quite fierce, as if they were arguing about what to do. In the end, it was the young woman who convinced her companion. She squeezed out a smile, walked back with the baby, and walked towards Zhang Zian. Her companion angrily stayed in place.
Zhang Zian could more or less guess what she wanted to do. There was a newsstand nearby, so he pretended to read a magazine.
"Big brother, you have been following us all the way. What's the matter?" The young woman walked to the side and whispered with a smile. Her tone was quite calm.
Of course, Zhang Zian couldn't admit it. He pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes. "Follow you? No! It's on the way. "
"Hehe." The young woman smiled knowingly. Her expression was clearly saying, "Pretend, what are you pretending for?
"Then … Big Brother, where are you going?" She asked again.
"I'm just walking around. It's rare for me to come to the capital. Of course, I want to experience the hutongs and siheyuan." Zhang Zian lied through his teeth.
The young woman was silent for a moment. Now that things had come to this, the two sides were only lacking that thin layer of window paper, but no one was willing to take the initiative to shed all pretense of cordiality.
"That … Big Brother, we've just arrived here and we don't know how we've offended you. Even if we've done something wrong and offended you, it's not easy to make a living outside. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us. Please let us go this time, okay?" She lowered her stance and begged.
Her tone made Zhang Zian feel like a bully blocking the road. If she and her companions were just scamming people on the street, he might be soft-hearted and let them go. But this time, he could not let them go so easily. Before he figured out the truth of the matter, he could not let them go so easily.
"Hehe, I don't understand what you're talking about." Zhang Zian simply pretended to be confused. "I'm just walking around. It's not like I've offended you or not."
The young woman's face twitched, and her smile gradually stiffened. She felt that she had given Zhang Zian enough face by humbling herself, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid.
However, this was, after all, the city. She came here to make money and didn't want to make things worse. Otherwise, it would be hard to clean up.
She gritted her teeth, grabbed a few bills from her pocket, and stuffed them into Zhang Zian's hand. She said, "Big Brother, it's noon now. You haven't eaten yet, right? Little sister, let me treat you to a meal. Let's be friends. Don't follow us, okay? "
Zhang Zian looked down. Hey, they were quite generous. These bills of different denominations added up to almost 100 yuan. They must have cheated the money from other passers-by.
He cursed in his heart. You have more cash than me, and you're pretending to be poor on the street to cheat money!
How could he spit out the meat in his mouth? He immediately nodded and promised, "Okay, I definitely won't follow you."
"Big Brother, it's a deal?" She didn't let go of her hand that was holding the money. She was worried and confirmed, "Since you've promised, you can't go back on your word."
"Don't worry. I always keep my word. You can trust me." Zhang Zian showed a hearty smile.
The young woman got his assurance and let go of her hand. He immediately put the money into his pocket.
"It's a deal, Big Brother. Bye-bye. See you again if fate allows it." She waved goodbye and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly walked towards her companion.
"Okay, it's done. Let's go," she said to her companion.
The young man didn't answer. His eyes stared straight behind her.
She turned around to look, and she was furious!
Zhang Zian had a hearty smile on his face and followed them again. His mouth moved as if he was talking to himself, "I didn't follow you guys. It was on the way."
She had never seen such a shameless person! He didn't listen to persuasion or coercion. He took the money and still didn't do anything!
Zhang Zian didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he felt refreshed. He felt that after taking the hundred yuan, even losing the chance to catch the Warding Off Evil Cat was not that painful anymore …
Who said that time was the best medicine to heal pain? Money was clearly the one!
Richard sighed on top of his head. "She's really blind to believe you."
The young man and woman finally completely gave up the hope of negotiating. Their mouths were full of dirty words. They increased their speed and walked quickly, trying to get rid of Zhang Zian.
Whether it was in terms of physical strength, intelligence, or shamelessness, Zhang Zian was not weaker than them. How could they succeed? He believed that they wouldn't dare to resort to violence in the capital. Even if they dared, he wasn't afraid.
Also, he felt that they couldn't keep walking like this. They must have a place to stay in the capital. It could be nearby, or it could be in the suburbs. That should be their gang's nest.
