Chapter 73: Draw a Clear Line with Wang Yongjun
Xiao Yingchun quickly agreed, changed her clothes and went downstairs.

When Xiao Yingchun, wearing a green dress, arrived at the small supermarket downstairs, there was only residual fear and embarrassment on her face.

Xiao Yingchun motioned for Wang Yongjun to sit down at the table and handed him a bottle of water: "Thank you so much for troubling you."

Wang Yongjun took a serious look at her slightly red cheeks, and her relief at surviving the disaster.

"No problem. I'm accompanying a colleague on the night shift. If I fall asleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to see your message."

After a pause, Wang Yongjun pointed to the back door and said, "The thief must have come in through the back door."

"I looked and although there is a dead end behind it, the wall near the street is not very high. The thief must have climbed over the wall into the dead end and then entered through the back door."

At this point, Wang Yongjun frowned slightly: "The thief may know how to open the lock. I think the lock is not broken."

Xiao Yingchun: “…”

It’s not that the lock is not broken, but I wanted to leave a passage for Fu Chenan, so I never locked the back door.

Careless.

Wang Yongjun was covered in water. Xiao Yingchun found the beach clothes that Fu Chenan had worn last time and asked him to change into them.

Wang Yongjun didn't hesitate and went to the bathroom to change into dry clothes.

The two of them sat at the table, and Xiao Yingchun then told the whole process of how he discovered the thief.

It was already dawn, and Wang Yongjun looked towards the back door: "Should we call the police about what happened last night?"

Xiao Yingchun shook her head: "Forget it, the person has escaped and the things are not lost. Even if we call the police, they can't possibly get to the bottom of this matter."

There is not enough police force to waste.

Wang Yongjun also has friends who are police officers and knows that this is indeed their procedure.

So Wang Yongjun gave another suggestion: "Why don't you change the door lock?"

Xiao Yingchun was receptive to this suggestion and immediately nodded in agreement, saying that not only the door locks should be replaced, but also the doors and windows.

There was originally an old iron door connecting the first floor to the second floor. Because Xiao Yingchun had the cash register storage system of the Space-Time Supermarket, all valuable items were stored in the Space-Time Supermarket. He thought nothing was worth stealing, so the iron door was just casually opened and not locked.

Given the current situation, if we don’t want to have another midnight fright, the doors and windows on the second floor must be replaced!

Wang Yongjun referred his friend who worked in security engineering to Xiao Yingchun, and also sent a message to that friend to explain the situation here.

Xiao Yingchun burst into tears of gratitude: "Thanks to you for coming here today, otherwise I might not dare to come down until dawn."

"No matter what, I can't let you make this trip in vain. This is your reward for today's hard work. Please accept it..."

I transferred one thousand yuan directly to Wang Yongjun via WeChat.

Wang Yongjun was stunned: This is so clear...

Is she afraid that I will misunderstand her and wants to clarify her relationship with me? !

The slight throbbing that had just arisen in his heart slowly dissipated, and Wang Yongjun lowered his eyes, his expression becoming a little indifferent and distant.

"You're welcome, Ms. Xiao. As a legal citizen and a retired special forces soldier, it is my duty to help those in need at a critical moment."

“No need to pay.”

Xiao Yingchun was stunned for a moment, and lowered his eyes to hide his guilty conscience.

She didn't want Wang Yongjun to misunderstand that she had other feelings for him.

She is really drawing the line.

There's nothing else to say. I'm just disgusted by Dai Hengxin's mother and I'm scared.

Someone came to rescue you on a motorcycle in the middle of the night, but you immediately distanced yourself from the matter after escaping danger...

Judging from his reaction now, he must have understood what I meant. That was enough.

Or should I give Wang Yongjun some more compensation when I go abroad with him?
Xiao Yingchun quickly calculated in her mind, and a smile reappeared on her face: "Since you said so, I won't force it. Does our previous agreement still count?"

Wang Yongjun then raised his eyes again and met Xiao Yingchun's smiling expression: "What agreement?"

"If I want to travel abroad, you can be my bodyguard? One thousand dollars a day."

"It's a deal." Wang Yongjun nodded and a smile spread across his face, the alienation he had just felt gradually disappearing.

"I can't sleep anyway, so why don't I treat you to breakfast?"

Wang Yongjun didn't refuse: "Okay."

When the two came out of the supermarket, they ran into Grandpa Zhao who had gotten up early to buy groceries. All three of them were stunned.

Wang Yongjun knew Grandpa Zhao and greeted him quickly: "Hello, Grandpa Zhao."

Since Wang Yongjun didn't pretend not to know him, Zhao Jiping didn't play dumb: "What are you doing..."

Wang Yongjun glanced at Xiao Yingchun and took the initiative to explain.

"Miss Xiao is also my client. A thief broke into her shop last night. She was terrified and sent me a message asking me to call the police. I happened to be on night shift and saw the message, so I came over..."

"A thief broke in?" Grandpa Zhao's attention was instantly diverted and he looked at Xiao Yingchun seriously.

Xiao Yingchun pointed to the closed back door and said, "He climbed over the wall and came in through the back door. He didn't steal anything valuable. When I woke up, the thief was scared away."

"Did you see the face clearly? Is it someone you know or a stranger?"

Xiao Yingchun shook her head: "I didn't see clearly. I didn't turn on the light at that time. He was holding a knife in his hand. I didn't dare to let him find out that I woke up, let alone stare at his face..."

With a knife in hand?!
Zhao Jiping was shocked by these words. No wonder Xiao Yingchun sent a message to Wang Yongjun.

Wang Yongjun is a former special forces soldier. If he wants to catch a thief, his ability is probably similar to that of a policeman.

"You may not be afraid of losing a lot of things in your store, but as a girl... you still have to pay attention to your safety!"

"Grandpa Zhao, I understand. I will be careful. I will ask Boss Wang to help me replace the doors, windows and locks later." Xiao Yingchun made assurances repeatedly.

"Girl, you are just too stubborn!"

Grandpa Zhao shook his head worriedly and went to buy groceries. As soon as he turned back, he sent a voice message to his grandson Dai Hengxin to inform him.

Dai Hengxin hasn't come to the urban village recently, and he hasn't heard of any progress between him and Xiao Yingchun.

Today, we saw Wang Yongjun actually coming to help catch the thief in the middle of the night, which shows that he still has Xiao Yingchun's trust.

If his grandson really wants to pursue Xiao Yingchun, he should hurry up!

When Dai Hengxin woke up and saw the message, it was already noon!

He was originally going to the pawnshop after washing up, but he ran towards Xiao Yingchun.

At this time, Xiao Yingchun's store had welcomed Wang Yongjun's friend Zhou Haipeng, who worked in security engineering.

Zhou Haipeng was already leading people to measure the size of Xiao Yingchun's doors and windows, preparing to replace them for her.

While asking someone to measure the dimensions, Zhou Haipeng explained the systematic nature of the entire project to Xiao Yingchun on his right.

"If we remove the old doors and windows, the wall will definitely be different. Then the part next to the door will need to be re-cemented, puttyed, and painted..."

"If you do this, the door will be white, and the walls inside the room will look very old, right? Do you want to consider decorating the whole room?"

Xiao Yingchun thought about the whole situation and it was indeed the case.

"Then let's renovate the entire second floor."
