Shen Ye walked over and asked, “What happened?”
The curious onlookers immediately started chattering, telling him, “This poor old lady…”
Apparently, the old woman had just withdrawn 50,000 yuan from the bank when she was targeted by a thief. This was her life savings, which she and her husband had slowly accumulated over time by collecting and selling trash. Her granddaughter had recently been diagnosed with leukemia and the money was intended to pay for her chemotherapy treatment. When the old woman realized the money was gone, the thief had already left. Overcome with grief and anger, the old woman collapsed to the ground and wept uncontrollably.
The bank staff immediately reported the incident to the police, who arrived quickly to console the old woman. Unfortunately, the thief had already disappeared without a trace. The bank had surveillance footage of the two young thieves who had fled on a motorcycle.
The old woman was desperate, as the stolen money was meant to save her granddaughter’s life. She couldn’t bear to face her husband and granddaughter. She was so distraught that she nearly threw herself into a flower bed.
The police were currently searching for the thieves but had no leads yet. Two officers and the bank staff discussed what to do and decided to contribute some money from their own pockets to help the old woman. Several kindhearted onlookers also expressed their willingness to donate, but 50,000 yuan was not easy to come by.
Everyone sympathized with the old woman’s plight but didn’t know how to help.
“Excuse me.” Shen Ye listened intently and pushed his way through the crowd.
He saw the old woman sitting on the ground, almost on the verge of fainting. Her eyes were rolling back, a symptom of emotional overload.
Coincidentally, the owner of the store next to the bank had also brought over surveillance footage showing the two thieves’ faces. Shen Ye took a quick glance at their faces and had an idea.
He spoke up, “Don’t worry, ma’am. I’ve found the thief!”
Everyone looked at him, including the old woman, who had stopped crying and was now looking at him with hope.
The police asked, “You found them?”
Another officer was puzzled, “We’ve checked a lot of surveillance footage, but the thieves went to different locations. We haven’t found them yet.”
Both officers were young and hot-blooded and were outraged by the old woman’s misfortune. But for various reasons, they had been unable to find the thief despite their best efforts.
In the past, thieves worked in gangs and the police had a good idea of who to look for. Nowadays, thieves were rare and gangs are even rarer since most people used mobile payment systems. Only a few unscrupulous individuals targeted the elderly, and they were harder to catch if they were not in a gang.
Shen Ye: “I am a fortune teller. I looked at the old lady’s face and her money is still secured. You can go to Qu Tang Street, which is five stops away and there’s a small alley there. Inside the alley, there’s a Qian Qian Internet Cafe where you can find someone.”
The two police officers looked at each other in disbelief.
A fortune teller?
Such a young fortune teller? Could he be here to cause trouble?
Seeing that they didn’t believe him, Shen Ye lifted his chin and said, “I’m so handsome, I don’t look like a swindler at all.”
The police officer replied, “… You are indeed handsome, but there are also handsome guys among swindlers!”
“I’m here with the old lady, don’t worry. With so many people watching, I can’t run away anyway. If I lie to you and make you run for nothing, you can charge me with obstruction of official duties and arrest me.”
The old lady, who was very trusting, immediately grabbed the police officer’s sleeve and begged, “Officer, please go to that street and take a look… that’s my granddaughter’s life-saving money! Please…”
Hearing Shen Ye’s confident tone, the old lady seemed to trust him very much and the two police officers were eventually convinced.
Although it sounded a bit far-fetched, there was nothing to lose by making a trip. Even if they didn’t find the thief, at most it was just a wasted trip. As police officers, they were no strangers to wasted trips. But if they could catch the thief and save the old lady’s family, it would be a great thing.
So the two police officers immediately contacted their colleagues to go to Qu Tang Street, while they stayed behind. It wasn’t that they were afraid that Shen Ye would run away, but mainly because it was a bit far to go to Qu Tang Street and they wanted to find the thief as soon as possible, so they asked their nearby colleagues for help.
Shen Ye squatted next to the old lady and comforted her, “Don’t worry, we’ll find the thief soon.”
The old lady wiped her tears and said, “Young man, thank you… if we can’t find the money, my whole family won’t survive…”
Shen Ye reached into his pocket but couldn’t find a tissue, so he wiped her tears with his sleeve. “Don’t worry, I’m a trusted fortune teller. I’ve never made a mistake in my predictions!”
The police officers and the crowd watching were speechless.
Young man, are you really as good as you claim? We have little experience, but we’ve never seen someone who brags so much!
In the car, Ye Ze watched Shen Ye walk out of the bank, thinking he would immediately come back to the car, but he saw him going to watch the commotion instead. Ye Ze certainly didn’t like to watch the commotion. He naturally didn’t like to get close to strangers. But after waiting for half an hour without seeing Shen Ye come back, he pondered for a moment and then got out of the car to find him.
Enduring the discomfort of being touched by strangers, he squeezed into the crowd and happened to see Shen Ye wiping the old lady’s tears. His sleeves were dirty, but Shen Ye didn’t mind at all. He laughed heartily and even boasted!
Ye Ze’s eyes softened.
Although this kid liked to meddle in other people’s business, this kind of personality is really warm.
Shen Ye looked up and saw him, and stood up, waving to him. “Sorry, can you wait for me a moment?”
Ye Ze replied, “Sure, take your time.”
Two handsome men standing together are inevitably eye-catching. Especially Ye Ze, who exudes the aura of a superior from head to toe, and looks handsome and imposing. He is like a male protagonist who has stepped out of a comic book.
The onlookers couldn’t help but steal glances with their eyes.
Ye Ze didn’t like being stared at, so he slightly frowned but did not show impatience.
After about five minutes, the police received a call from their colleague who said they had gone to the Qian Qian Internet Cafe and had indeed caught the thief. The two thieves were watching live streams and were preparing to recharge and reward themselves with the money they had stolen. Fortunately, they arrived in time, otherwise, the money would be lost and they would not have been able to catch them and!
Until they hung up the phone, the two young police officers still looked incredulous, turning around and staring at Shen Ye in a daze: “The thief… has really been caught! The money is intact, and our colleagues will bring it over right away!”
The crowd was in an uproar, and their eyes toward Shen Ye were filled with shock and awe.
Just a moment ago, they thought this young man was bragging, but now they believed that he really had the ability!
It was Ye Ze who slightly lifted the corner of his lips.
After what happened at Mr. Shi’s house, he was already aware of Shen Ye’s capabilities.
The old lady was pleasantly surprised and tearful, pulling Shen Ye and thanking him profusely: “Young man, I don’t know how to repay you for your great kindness…”
She bowed deeply to Shen Ye, and her wrinkled face was full of tears and a kind of joy of surviving a disaster, which made people’s hearts ache.
Shen Ye helped her up and stuffed a talisman into her hand, saying, “Put it in your granddaughter’s pocket. She will succeed in her chemotherapy and be healthy in the future.”
The old lady immediately grabbed the talisman as if she had caught a lifeline.
You should know that since Shen Ye had figured out the thief’s whereabouts so quickly, the talisman he gave her must be very powerful. Her granddaughter’s follow-up chemotherapy would still require a lot of money, but Shen Ye’s talisman was like giving the old lady hope.
She wiped away her tears, repeatedly thanking Shen Ye, bowing to the police and bank staff, and thanking the enthusiastic onlookers: “There are still many good people in this society. Thank you all, thank you…”
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was congratulating the old lady, Shen Ye pulled Ye Ze and ran away.
The onlookers still wanted to ask him to tell their fortunes. When they turned around, he was nowhere to be seen.
However, there was a female voice in the crowd murmuring, “Hey, this fortune teller seems to be Shen Ye…”
After Shen Ye pulled Ye Ze into the car, he sighed softly, “The old lady is really pitiful.”
Ye Ze remained silent for a few seconds and said, “You helped her, so she will be okay.”
Shen Ye was inexplicably comforted and nodded, “Yeah, she will be okay!”
Ye Ze looked at him deeply and suddenly took out his phone and briefly explained the old lady’s situation. Then he looked at Shen Ye and said, “Her granddaughter needs a bone marrow donation and someone will help her.”
Shen Ye looked at him.
So the phone call was about asking his subordinates to find a bone marrow that matches the old lady’s granddaughter?
“You are so kind! On behalf of the old lady, thank you!” Shen Ye felt like he was about to cry from being moved.
This man, why is he so sweet?
Ye – sweet – Ze said, “If you want to help her, I will also help her.”
Shen Ye: “…” What kind of sweet talk is this? Don’t make it too flattering!
He touched his hot ear and silently thought, no wonder he just looked at the old lady’s face, he saw that her granddaughter is not fated to die young. She will soon have someone to help her… it turns out that the benefactor is Ye Ze.
Ye Ze shook his head. “Their benefactor is you.”
If it wasn’t for Shen Ye’s help in catching the thief, the surgery fees wouldn’t have been recovered, and Ye Ze wouldn’t have helped in finding bone marrow.
Shen Ye smiled. “Well, we are both benefactors. I just don’t know which one of us can become queen1in the raws it is “皇后” which could mean “empress” or “queen”, so yeah, no error on this part… Hey, do you think you’ll compete with me for the throne?”
Ye Ze: “…”
The level of this child’s thinking was beyond Ye Ze’s high intellect.
After arriving home, the sun had already set, and the glow of the setting sun shone through the car window, making Ye Ze’s handsome face even more dazzling. Shen Ye looked and looked again, thinking that he was truly pleasing to the eye.
“We’re home!” Shen Ye happily pushed open the car door.
Who wouldn’t be happy when surrounded by such beauty?
Before getting out of the car, he casually glanced at the calligraphy brush that was still in Ye Ze’s hand and noticed that the yin energy had decreased by a large amount. Ye Ze’s purple aura was indeed overbearing; the brush had gathered more yin energy than a cemetery, yet it was purified so quickly.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but feel emotional again. Ye Ze was truly a treasure!
That night at dinner, Shen Ye suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to buy a gift for Ye Ze. He had planned to cook for Ye Ze but was delayed by the old lady’s matter… It seemed like he would have to cook another day.
After dinner, he handed the jade pendant to his grandmother in front of Ye Ze. In the light, his grandmother took a look at it and nodded, “This is it,” then handed it back to Shen Ye. “It’s yours, keep it safe. This jade pendant has a pair, it should be with Xiao Ze.”
Ye Ze responded with a “Hmm” and took out his own jade pendant. The two pendants were almost identical in style and pattern, indeed a pair.
Shen Ye grinned. “I’ll keep it safe.” He then winked at Ye Ze.
Ye Ze: “…”
Was this child trying to flirt with him again?
At night, after Shen’s grandmother had gone to bed, Shen Ye knocked on Ye Ze’s door with a jade pendant in his hand.
Ye Ze had just finished taking a shower and was wrapped in a green silk robe, revealing most of his chest and half of his abs.
Shen Ye scanned his body with his eyes and sincerely praised, “You have a good figure.”
Ye Ze: “…”
What a little pervert!
He calmly tied his belt and tightened his robe, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Ye reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said, “Oh, I have something to ask you.”
By now, Ye Ze had walked up to him and looked down at him silently.
Shen Ye shook the jade pendant in his hand and smiled like a cat that had stolen fish, “Uncle, let’s get married!”
“Uncle?” It took a long time before Ye Ze squeezed out the words from between his teeth.
Shen Ye blinked, “Yeah, aren’t you older than me?”
Ye Ze: “…”
He’s not that old, right?
Thinking of Shen Shimu’s words about “robbing the cradle” and then hearing Shen Ye call him “uncle”… Ye Ze’s face turned black.
He had reason to suspect that Shen Ye was complaining about him being old…
Shen Ye: What do you mean by “old”? Look at your chest muscles…look at your abs…I’m just praising you!
Mmm, drooling (ˉ﹃ˉ)
