The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 164: Love, Hope, and Courage

The message had just been sent out, and almost immediately, Lingmeng felt the cellphone in her palm vibrate.

It was her master replying in a second, which was really rare.

Usually, he only replied quickly when she sent him particularly pretty selfies.

Especially when she accidentally captured her feet wrapped in stockings.

Her master was a pervert who liked feet.

What message did master reply with? It must be telling her to be careful.

Within one second, these thoughts flashed through Lingmeng’s mind.

She turned her head from the bus window and met the gaze of the female pickpocket acting as a lookout.

Sending the message to Lin Shuang was to gather some courage.

Before transforming into Magic Girl, isn’t there always a shout about love, hope, and courage and the like?

Lin Shuang was the source of Lingmeng’s courage.

Now, the vibration of the cellphone filled her with strength!

Magic Girl Lingmeng is here! Ready to eradicate evil!

The male pickpocket who was cutting the purse was almost successful.

The female pickpocket on the lookout was stunned by Lingmeng’s gaze.

—How dare she still look over here? After doing several jobs so boldly, this is the first time encountering someone unafraid of a knife.

At that instant, another female passenger sitting beside moved first.

She kicked away the knife from the male thief and with a beautiful grappling move, subdued him by binding his hands behind him and pinning him to the ground.

Caught off guard by Lingmeng, the female pickpocket was slow by half a beat before she swung her knife at this proactive female passenger.

What followed was the scream of the woman being robbed and other passengers.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, the female pickpocket’s raised dagger was about to stab into the arm of the female passenger.

Lingmeng had already pounced and knocked down the female pickpocket.

The swinging dagger changed its trajectory, instead slicing into the thigh of the male pickpocket.

Red blood instantly splattered out.

Now the bus became even noisier, with the screams of the passengers and the agonizing screams of the male pickpocket mixing together into chaos.

Only at this moment did all the hearing and senses finally return to Lingmeng’s body.

She just realized how fast her heart was beating, almost jumping out of her chest with "thump, thump, thump."

After all, it was a glaringly sharp knife!

Initially, she thought it was a small fruit knife, but upon pulling it out, she saw it was a very sharp dagger!

The sharp blade reminded Lingmeng of the butchering knives used in every household to slaughter pigs during New Year in the small mountain village.

A white blade goes in, a red blade comes out.

Lingmeng used all her strength to pin the female pickpocket to the ground, gripping her hand to prevent her from swinging the knife again.

On the other side, the female passenger who subdued the male pickpocket was out of breath and shouted loudly to the driver, "Master! Drive straight to the nearest police station!"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and silently changed the route.

The other passengers quickly chose silence, not daring to look over.

Passengers with children covered their children’s eyes, moving further away.

A male passenger sitting in front wanted to come and help but was stopped by his girlfriend pulling him back.

The only one who helped was the woman who was robbed.

The very glamorous and plump woman sat on the legs of the two pickpockets, pinning them down so they could not move.

In short, after a brief period of screaming and chaos, the bus returned to a eerie silence.

Only the bleeding male pickpocket intermittently let out some piercing screams.

There was Lingmeng, and the wheezy voice of that female passenger.

All other passengers acted as if the two thieves being pinned down in the middle of the bus didn’t exist.

They turned their heads, looking out at the scenery instead.

The bus sped through the thick night, rushing to the nearby police station, dropped them off, sent down Lingmeng’s many bags, and drove away without looking back.

Afterwards, Lingmeng’s memories of the incident felt somewhat fragmented.

Why was everyone so indifferent?

Although the knife was terrifying...

The indifference of people’s hearts was even more terrifying, wasn’t it?

The thieves were already subdued on the ground, why did no one still want to help?

Was it because she was too scared that her memory was affected?

While pinning down the thief with the knife, Lingmeng’s heartbeat was racing.

—She rushed over without uttering her lines! She isn’t in her Magic Girl form now, right? She doesn’t have the Magic Girl’s power, does she?

The master said it only works if you recite the lines. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

But when she was holding down the thief, she still felt filled with strength.

It would have been better if others had helped.

After recording her statement at the police station, Lingmeng shook her little head, still feeling that something was wrong with her memory.

How could everyone be so indifferent?

She must have been mistaken...

The female passenger who subdued the thief with her—actually a policewoman, the one who often frequented the "Green Plum" tea shop, handed Lingmeng a cup of hot water.

Lingmeng finally recognized her.

Normally, she would have recognized her sooner, since she almost daily greets that policewoman with, "Welcome, would you like your usual three-quarter sugar-less Oolong tea?"

After becoming familiar, she straightforwardly called the policewoman "Three-Quarter Sugar."

"Three-Quarter Sugar has arrived! Make a cup of Three-Quarter Sugar-less Oolong~"

The policewoman named Xing Yingying smiled and said, "Didn’t expect to meet you under these circumstances, you really were brave. But next time you encounter such a situation, don’t be so impulsive, your personal safety should be the priority."

Holding the cup with both hands, Lingmeng felt the warm temperature.

She took a sip of the hot water and asked softly, "Three-Quarter Sugar, I have a question for you..."

"Go ahead and ask."

"Today, when everyone was just watching and no one came to help, is that normal?"

"Three-Quarter Sugar" peeled half an orange and handed it to her, "It’s very normal, after all, there was a knife. Even I was a bit scared, not to mention ordinary bystanders. It’s normal to be frightened—aren’t you scared?"

Lingmeng bit into an orange slice, "So sour! — I am scared! The more I think about it, the more afraid I get!"

"The sourer it is, the tastier—That’s right, being scared is normal. In the future, if you encounter such situations, call the police first, don’t be impulsive, let us professionals handle it~"

The policewoman gestured to Lingmeng, reminding her of her moves on the bus.

That was really cool.

She could match up evenly with her master.

Soured by the orange and encouraged by "Three-Quarter Sugar," Lingmeng felt somewhat enlightened.

Indeed, not everyone is filled with love, hope, and courage like they are.

Let them guard the world!

Anyway, next time... if she encounters such a situation, she would still help.

Yes, while ensuring her own safety.

"Three-Quarter Sugar" patted her shoulder, "Let’s go, I’ll take you home. Are you working tonight? I just happen to pass by for a Three-Quarter Sugar drink?"

"Today is my day off!"
