The car drove for more than ten miles, and the headlights shone far away on the four young people in the restaurant, who were walking silently along the roadside. Hearing the sound of the car behind him, the boy turned around suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, and waved vigorously.
Chang Cheng was quite speechless and said, "I thought they would stay in the development zone for one night..."
This urban area, including Dongming City, is the area with the largest mineral reserves in Huanghuai Province. The social situation is complicated, with all kinds of people, and the public security has always been poor. In addition, car bandits are rampant, and the probability of encountering a ghost when walking on the road at night is much greater than the probability of having a safe journey. Even the experienced long-distance truck drivers often travel in groups of three or five, and dare not go on the road together until there are enough people and cars, not to mention a few young people. That is not hurrying on the road, that is seeking death!
These young people do not have such social experience, or they heard the warnings from kind-hearted people, but they were fearless and did not take them to heart.
Wen Liang signaled Chang Cheng to stop the car, opened the window and asked, "Are you going to Dongming?"
The boy was afraid that the other party would ignore him again, so he took out his student ID from his backpack and said, "We are students of Jinzhou Mining College. Master, please take a look. This is our student ID."
Wen Liang took it and looked at it. The boy's name was Han Shi written on the student ID card. He handed it back and said, "Don't you know that this road is unsafe at night? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Han Shi hurriedly explained, "We are rushing to attend a job fair in Dongming City tomorrow morning, but we were delayed on the way and missed the last bus. Master, we are really not bad people, please give us a ride..."
Jinzhou City is the capital of Huanghuai Province. Jinzhou Mining College is a junior college. Although it is not ranked in the country, it is also a good professional college in the province. Wen Liang had a good impression of these ignorant and impulsive young people. It seemed that he saw himself in them when he first entered the society and suffered a lot. He smiled and said, "Get in the car. I also want to go to Dongming. Let's go."
"Thank you very much, thank you very much!"
Han Shi was overjoyed and quickly asked the other three to get in the car. Unexpectedly, the beautiful girl suddenly said, "If you want to sit, you can sit. I won't sit in this person's car!"
Han Shi was stunned for a moment. He looked between Wen Liang and the girl again and again and asked, "Jing'er, what's wrong?"
The girl said coldly: "He was in the restaurant just now, watching those hooligans bullying women but didn't dare to say a word. Now he comes to pretend to be a good person? I don't want to accept his kindness!"
To be honest, Han Shi was completely frightened by the bald third brother when the conflict broke out, and he didn't even pay attention to other people in the store. After hearing what the girl said, he felt that Wen Liang looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, he found that it was indeed the guest from another table next to him.
“This… this…”
Han Shi was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead, but he didn't know how to convince the girl, so he had to look to the other two companions for help. But the other boy was also a person who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. It was he who said some angry words in the restaurant, which annoyed the bald man, resulting in the result that no one was willing to let them take the car. He immediately walked to the girl and praised: "Ma Jing, you are right, people can be proud, but they can also be proud. A gentleman does not eat food given out of pity. Even if this car begs me to take it, I will not take it!"
"Liu Ning, you are still manly. I am beginning to admire you!"
Han Shi immediately lost his composure upon hearing this and said, "I didn't recognize you just now. If I had, I wouldn't have sat down. Huang Cailan, what about you?"
The somewhat introverted girl said softly, "I, I'm just like everyone else!"
"Okay, now that we have made up our minds, let's keep going. If there is no car, we can still walk to Dongming. Let's regard this journey as the first test God has given us to enter society!"
This girl is pretty and has a hot temper. Unexpectedly, she is also good at speaking. Wen Liang would never argue with them. Instead, he thought it was quite interesting and said, "Classmate, those hooligans look ferocious. We are not related at all. Who would come to help you for no reason? If I get hurt or disabled, will you still take responsibility?"
Ma Jinger pouted and took two steps back cautiously. She looked at Wen Liang with hostility and said, "You rascal!"
"Look, I just said something, and you feel you can't handle it. Why do you ask others to risk their lives to help you?"
"Does helping others require equal returns?"
"I just want to tell you a truth. In this world, it is your duty to protect yourself. You should be brave enough to do what is right, because your first responsibility is to your parents, wife and children, not others. When you know that the matter is beyond your ability, but you still try to take the lead, that is not bravery, that is stupidity!"
"so what?"
Ma Jing'er's pretty face was full of sarcasm, but Wen Liang ignored her and said with a smile, "So I didn't say anything just now because I didn't have the ability. Now I am willing to help because it is within my ability to let you take a ride to Dongming!"
Ma Jing'er glared at Wen Liang and said, "It's because there are too many people like you that the social atmosphere is so bad now. If you protect yourself today, others will also protect themselves when you need help tomorrow. Then think about whether your reason is the real reason! Let's go and don't waste your breath on people like this!"
After saying that, he walked forward with his head held high. Liu Ning and Huang Cailan followed immediately. Han Shi fell behind and said apologetically to Wen Liang, "I'm sorry, she has a bad temper. Don't take it to heart."
When Han Shi followed, Wen Liang leaned on the seat and looked at the backs of the people, smiling: "Every time I see these energetic young people, I realize that I am really old!"
Chang Cheng also smiled and said, "What should we do? Just ignore it?"
Wen Liang would not sit idly by, so he took out his cell phone and dialed 110. He briefly explained the situation and asked the operator to contact the nearest police station and send a police car to pick them up. This was not difficult to do. Two men and two women, four college students, came all the way from Jinzhou. If something really happened in Dongming, many people would be involved, and the local police station would be the first to bear the brunt. And according to the usual style of this road, with the young and beautiful Ma Jinger, the possibility of something happening was close to more than 90%.
As long as the local police are not fools, they will know what is important. However, Wen Liang was still worried. After passing a few people, he asked Chang Cheng to drive slowly. After about ten minutes, he saw a police car whizzing from the opposite direction and passed by the Lexus.
"Okay, let's go!"
Chang Cheng put force on his feet, turned his head inadvertently, and his eyes swept across Wenliang's profile.
Cold but warm, powerful but never arrogant, the longer you follow him, the more you can feel his unique personality charm, which makes people feel at ease and convinced! (To be continued)
