Chapter 57: The Male and Female Dogs

  Qin Lang didn't take the threat of the purse snatcher seriously and didn't bother to chase after him. He glanced down at the bag that had fallen beside his feet, its opening wide open, but inside was completely empty.

  Empty package?

  Qin Lang thought back to the pickpocket's actions before the robbery and wondered: Could it be that everything in the bag had already been stolen by the thief?

  No wonder the thief ran so fast, an empty bag, there's really no need to pick it up again. Qin Lang shook his head and didn't want to bother with this broken thing anymore. People's hearts are separated by a layer of skin, who dares to guarantee that when the owner catches up later, he won't be accused of taking things from the bag.

  Qin Lang was about to leave, but he heard the shouting getting closer and closer: "Someone is snatching a bag! Catch him quickly! Bag thief! There's a bag thief!"

  Hey, this voice sounds so familiar?

  Qin Lang turned around and saw two familiar figures running towards him, it was the cheap stepmother he had met before, and that man whose relationship with her seemed complicated.

  "What a coincidence." Qin Lang revealed a strange smile, changing his previous plan, and bent down to pick up the empty bag beside his foot.

  Cao Yan's eyesight was far inferior to Qin Lang's, so Qin Lang saw her clearly, but she couldn't see Qin Lang clearly. At least she could still recognize that the person standing in the distance with a bag was not the previous thief who wore a duck-tongued hat and snatched bags. Realizing that someone had intercepted the thief and retrieved the bag, she felt relieved.

  She was just scared, you know that the bag in Zhu Ganglie's hand contained that crucial DNA report. If it fell into the hands of a pickpocket, no one could guarantee whether it would be leaked or not.

  Once exposed, her years of life as a wealthy woman would not only come to an end, but she might even face the possibility of divorce and being left with nothing. She had grown accustomed to and dependent on her current life of luxury and leisure, how could she withstand such a blow?

  Thank goodness! It's really thank goodness! Cao Yan prayed in her heart, but her feet were careless, and her high heels stepped on a discarded beverage bottle by the side of the road.

  "Ah yo!"

  Cao Yan let out a loud cry and fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Didn't you get hurt?" Zhu Ganglie hastily stopped in his tracks, expressing concern while squatting down and taking the opportunity to pull Cao Yan into his arms.

  "Get out of the way." Cao Yan wanted to push away Zhu Ganglie, but as soon as she moved, her knee hurt badly. She bowed her head and hugged her knee, crying out in pain, and was unable to block the man's hand, being easily pulled into his arms.

  Feeling Cao Yan's lingering charm through her clothes, a thread of lust flashed across Zhu Gang's eyes. He blamed himself: "It's all my fault for staring at the kind-hearted person who snatched the bag in front, and I didn't support you in time."

  "Of course, it's your fault." Cao Yan frowned and coldly snorted, "I'm warning you, when you get back, destroy both the original and copy of that DNA report. If it gets leaked out because of you, I will absolutely not let you off."

  Zhu's mouth twitched slightly as he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely destroy it. That report was only to prove the relationship between Sheng Er and me. I absolutely didn't mean to use it to threaten you. In my heart, both you and Sheng Er are the people I love most. I will only protect you, and I won't let anyone harm you."

  Cao Yan listened and her expression slightly improved, "Let go of my hand."

  "I won't let go." Zhu Ganglie held Cao Yan tighter, "You know that for so many years, every time I couldn't sleep at night and was tossing and turning, how much I wanted to be like this now, holding you in my arms. Yan, people say that the years make a person old, but this one thing is wrong when it comes to you, you are more beautiful than before, so beautiful that I am drunk with it, so beautiful that I am infatuated, so beautiful that all the women in the world lose their beauty."

  Women all love to hear sweet words, especially older women who are more concerned about their aging bodies in the eyes of others. So, Zhu Ganglie's enchanting soup this time actually made Cao Yan slightly distracted.

  "It seems I didn't wrong this cheap stepmother after all." Qin Lang stared at the figure in the distance, his eyes narrowing into a cold glare.

  He took a few steps forward and stopped a few meters away from Cao Yan and Zhu Ganglie, sneering: "You two are quite affectionate!"

  Just then, Cao Yan, who was distracted, subconsciously looked up and took a glance. When she saw Qin Lang's appearance clearly, she almost got a fright. With a flustered expression, she pushed Zhu Ganglie away fiercely, endured the pain in her knees, and stood up.

  Zhu Ganglie also stood up, but his eyes were very dissatisfied as he stared at Qin Lang.

  It's clear that he's resentful of Qin Lang for ruining his good fortune. At the pace they were going, if he had just put in a bit more effort, he might have been able to plant a seed of desire in this woman's heart, who had past feelings for him. With some careful nurturing, it wouldn't be long before he could get her into bed with him.

  But it was ruined at a critical moment, how could he not be furious?

  "Don't get me wrong, I just fell down and he's just helping me up." Cao Yan explained subconsciously.

  Zhu Ganglie thought it was strange, with an unfamiliar little punk, is there a need to explain so much?

  Looking at the package in Qin Lang's hand, Zhu Ganglie's gaze became even more unpleasant. He gritted his teeth and said: "Thanks a lot, Lei Feng."

  Qin Lang's eyes narrowed, and when he was in the building just now, he only saw the man's side profile. Now that they were facing each other head-on, he suddenly realized that this man indeed had the capital to entice women.

  The man was about forty years old, wearing a suit and tie with a white shirt, the Rolex gold watch on his wrist occasionally flashing golden light in the sunlight, dressed as a successful person. The only thing is that the size of the suit seemed to be slightly larger, but because this man was born with a good figure, it didn't look bad at all.

  Like Qin Yang, this man's skeleton was also very tall and large, but his body was slightly thin. That handsome yet subtly weathered face made people know at a glance that he was a man with stories to tell. Especially the scar on his forehead, as if it were the final stroke of a dragon painting, added a unique charm to the man's face, making him extremely attractive to any woman.

  He withdrew his gaze, and Qin Lang felt a little strange, because he thought the man's face looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

  Sometimes I just can't remember.

  Qin Lang didn't think about it anymore, and he also didn't take to heart the man's gritted teeth "thank you". He didn't even actively return the package, but instead turned his gaze towards Cao Yan, continuing to stare at her coldly.

  Cao Yan's face was flustered and she dodged Qin Lang's gaze.

  Zhu Ganglie finally saw a little clue, he asked Cao Yan in surprise: "Do you know him?"

  Cao Yan nodded and said in a low voice: "He is the son of my husband and his late wife."

  Zhu Ganglie's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but carefully examine Qin Lang. But just for a moment, he revealed a look of disdain and said to Cao Yan: "A kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet, what are you afraid of him for? Is he going to rebel against you, his stepmother?"

  Cao Yan suddenly came to her senses and thought: Right, what am I afraid of him for? He's just a fool. From childhood to adulthood, I've never been lenient with him, this fool has long been tamed by me. Not to mention being seen together with other men, even if he caught us in bed, what could this fool do? Besides, with his IQ, can he even understand the things between men and women?

  Thinking of this, Cao Yan completely put her mind at ease.

  "Qin Da Sha, why aren't you going to school? What are you doing running around on the streets? Is it easy for your father to raise a fool like you? Can't you understand and live up to some standards?" Cao Yan's face changed immediately, putting on a vicious expression, just like her son. When Qin Fengyang was not around, she also called him Qin Da Sha directly.

  Qin Lang sneered, "My father raised me, this fool, and it's better than raising you, a shameless and flirtatious woman. If I weren't wandering around on the streets, how would I have seen you, Cao Gui, secretly flirting with other men?"

  "Hey, kid, watch your mouth! Who are you saying is shameless and promiscuous? You dare to say it again?" Zhu Ganglie immediately jumped out to defend Cao Yan.

  "Don't waste your breath on him." Cao Yan waved her hand and snorted, "A fool like him, even if I lent him some guts, he wouldn't dare do anything. First, let's get the bag back, that's the priority."

  Zhu Ganglie was taken aback, "Is he an idiot?"

  Cao Yan sneered, "Isn't that right? This idiot was born weak-minded, and his dad treasures him like a precious gem. If it were me, I would have abandoned him by the roadside to feed the dogs long ago."

  Zhu Ganglie's eyes rolled around as soon as he heard it, seemingly brewing up some wicked idea.

  "Bring me the bag." Cao Yan shouted at Qin Lang.

  Qin Lang looked at Cao Yan, then looked at the package in his hand, and suddenly became thoughtful.

  It's obviously a man's bag, more accurately, it should be the bag of the man beside Cao Yan. So the person who is anxious about this bag should be this man, rather than Cao Yan.

  From start to finish, Qin Lang didn't notice that the man cared about the package in his hand. He even clearly remembered that just now, when the man called him "Living Lei Feng", he had a gnashing teeth and gritting expression, as if he had kindly snatched the package, but instead ruined his good deed.

  This seems very strange, obviously a man lost his bag and the man didn't care, why did Cao Yan have to be so nervous? Is there something in the bag that is crucial to her?

  Qin Lang suppressed the doubts in his heart and sneered: "Why should I give you the bag? Is this bag yours?"

  "The bag is mine." Zhu Ganglie said proactively.

  "Cao Yan followed closely, saying: 'Qin Da Shuai, quickly bring over the package, otherwise don't blame me for not being polite to you. I still have accounts to settle with you. Last time when Sheng Er went to see you, she came back in a mess, was it your doing? Humph, do you think that just because you moved out, I can no longer control you, you fool?'"

  "What's wrong with Sheng'er?" Zhu Ganglie asked immediately.

  Cao Yan recounted Qin Sheng's behavior after returning home that day, and Zhu Ganglie's face immediately changed. He glared at Qin Lang and shouted: "I think you're looking for death, aren't you? Even daring to...".

  "Stop!" Just as Zhu Ganglie was about to spill the beans and reveal Qin Sheng's "identity", Cao Yan panicked, hastily pulled him back, and managed to intercept his words.

  "Sheng Er? Hehe, you're calling me so intimately." Qin Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Ganglie, saying calmly: "Qin Sheng had it coming to him. Besides, as an older brother, even if I were to discipline him a bit, that's only natural."

  "So it was you who played the trick." Cao Yan's face turned cold, and she glared at Qin Lang fiercely. When she saw Zhu Ganglie rolling up his sleeves, ready to take action against Qin Lang, she quickly pulled him back and whispered: "Don't be in a hurry, first get the bag back, and then we can deal with this fool slowly."

  "It's just a broken package, I don't care. If I don't teach this fool a lesson today, how can I still have the face to see Sheng'er?" Zhu Ganglie cursed while trying to push Cao Yan away.

  "No way." Cao Yan said in a low voice, "That bag has... If this fool finds out and it gets back to his father, both Sheng Er and I will be finished."

  Zhu Ganglie's face changed slightly as soon as he heard it, seeming to have thought of something, and restrained his previous impulse. He began to scold Qin Lang together with Cao Yan, demanding the return of that package.
