Just when the woman felt embarrassed, the man beside her tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "We've run into someone with money, why not take this chance to make a good profit?"

The woman immediately understood, looked at Mu Shihan, and said, "I just remembered wrongly, actually this bag of mine was bought for 5000 yuan, and you don't need to dirty your bag, just compensate me for my bag at the original price."

At this moment, according to the usual plot in novels or movies, Mu Shihan should have sneered, "5000 yuan, right?"

Then directly take out 10000 from her bag, throw it in their face, and say coolly, "Here's 10000, take the money and scram!"

This couple was hoping so much that the plot would develop like this, but unfortunately, they chose the right script, but not the right character...

Mu Shihan said calmly, "Okay..."

The man and woman both brightened up, thinking they really struck it rich this time!

However, before they could continue to be happy, they heard Mu Shihan's next half-sentence: "Provide the receipt, or evidence to prove the value of your bag, and I'll immediately compensate you at the original price."

The two were immediately stunned, the bag was originally just over 200 yuan, saying 1000 was already an exaggeration, the purpose was to fleece a bit of money.

So, even if they could produce a receipt and evidence, it was absolutely impossible to bring them out.

The man laughed and said, "The receipt has been thrown away as waste paper, how about this, we've had this bag for two months, minus the depreciation, you can compensate 3000 and that's enough."

Mu Shihan shook her head, "No receipt, no compensation, or as you said, dirty my bag as well."

The man was a bit anxious, with a menacing look he said, "Letting you compensate 3000 is already considering you're kids, if you don't, I'll call the police right now and have them arrest you."

As soon as he said that, the onlookers all collectively hissed.

At first, he said it was 1000, but after knowing how much the girl's bag was worth, he claimed his own bag was worth 5000, such ugliness in showing greed was blatant.

The man had a nonchalant face, caring less about what outsiders thought, as money in his pocket was real, and perhaps among those criticizing him, some might even envy him.

"Go ahead and call the police," Mu Shihan said indifferently, "As long as the police appraise your bag as valuable, not to mention 5000, even 50000, I'll give it to you without deducting a single cent."

The man's face turned ashen green, thinking that bringing up the police would scare the other party, who knew they weren't fazed at all.

At this point, he belatedly realized, since the other party is so wealthy, it's hard to say they don't have connections in the police department.

That means, even if they were taken to the police station, there was a high chance they wouldn't gain any advantage, not to mention he knew better than anyone the true value of that bag.

Thinking of this, the man gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred, considering you're kids and don't know better, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Shihan had already dialed 100 on her phone, then extended it toward the man: "The call's made, you go ahead and talk to the police."

The woman panicked, hurriedly came over to hang up the phone, and tried to smooth over the situation: "Such a small matter, let's not bother the police."

With that, she glanced at her bag, feeling a bit distressed: "Forget it, seeing you are young, we won't pursue this."

Just as the two turned to leave, Mu Shihan called after them: "Wait a minute!"

The onlookers were taken aback, did this young girl not plan to let those two people go just like that?

The man turned around irritatedly: "What do you still want?"

Mu Shihan took out a hundred-note from her bag and said, "No matter what, my sister did dirty your bag, I apologize on her behalf, this one hundred can be used to find a professional shop to clean the bag."

The woman hesitated for a moment but still took it, and then the two of them scurried away.

After the incident passed, Mu Shihan returned to her seat, looking a bit proud as she gazed at Xiao Feng: "Humph, how was my performance?"

"Not bad!" Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction, he didn't suspect that this incident was orchestrated by Lin Jiaxuan.

Firstly, coming here to eat was a spontaneous decision, not pre-arranged.

Secondly, if it were a deliberate setup, the ending would certainly not be like this, but rather force him to step in.

"I'm sorry, Shihan sister, I caused trouble." Lin Jiaxuan apologized with her head down.

Mu Shihan sighed a breath of relief: "Right or wrong aside, Xuanxuan, there's one point they weren't wrong about, you can't always keep your head down, we're not unattractive, why be afraid of others looking?"

Lin Jiaxuan nodded: "I understand now!"

Saying so, she slowly raised her head, for the first time making eye contact with Mu Shihan, but quickly it shifted away, seeming still a bit unaccustomed.

Xiao Feng took this opportunity to closely observe Lin Jiaxuan's eyes, they say the eyes are the windows to the soul, not that one can see through someone's thoughts at a glance, but subconscious emotions can't lie.

And the conclusion from observing was that in Lin Jiaxuan's gaze towards Mu Shihan, there was obvious gratitude and a subtle complexity, as for the source of the complexity, it's not something that can be guessed out of thin air.

"Xuanxuan, when is your birthday?" Mu Shihan asked with a smile, picking up a slice of lamb for Lin Jiaxuan.

"October 5th." Lin Jiaxuan immediately answered.

Mu Shihan calculated and said, "It's coming up soon, I'll definitely prepare a surprise for you then."

"You've already said you'll give someone a surprise, is that still a surprise?" Xiao Feng interjected.

"None of your business, just eat." Mu Shihan retorted angrily.

"..." Xiao Feng was speechless, like he'd been forgotten now that she had a sister to focus on?

But soon Xiao Feng realized, perhaps the little girl was trying to get information from Lin Jiaxuan, intentionally guiding her to share past stories.

And Xiao Feng listened carefully, trying to find any inconsistencies from it.

In fact, Mu Shihan wasn't thinking that far, she simply wanted to get to know Lin Jiaxuan better, though a little bit also to help Xiao Feng, but that was negligible.

On the way back to the police station after the meal, Mu Shihan seemed like a supervisor, whenever Lin Jiaxuan lowered her head, she would relentlessly correct her, dutiful to the extreme.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng was in thought, could it be that the little one was right this time?

The problem lay with the old woman, and Lin Jiaxuan was actually unaware?

Just then, there came a buzzing sound.

Xiao Feng frowned, it was impossible for there to be flies or mosquitoes this season, looking up, he saw a drone hovering overhead.

"Mom, look, it's an airplane!" A little girl on the street exclaimed, pulling at the hand of the young woman next to her, pointing excitedly at the drone spiraling in the sky.

"That's a drone, controlled by remote, you can't ride on it," the young woman explained with a smile, patting the girl's head.

At this time, more and more people noticed the drone above, stopping to comment on it.

In recent years, with the rapid development of technology, civilian drones were no longer a novelty, but since cities have strict regulations, drone enthusiasts usually fly them in the suburbs.

But in a small place like Jiangcheng, regulations weren't as stringent as in first or second-tier cities, as long as there aren't serious consequences, generally, people won't pay much attention.

"It's coming down, it's coming down!" an onlooker exclaimed.

Xiao Feng looked up and indeed found the drone's flight altitude slowly dropping, while pedestrians below enthusiastically waved at the camera.

The next moment, Xiao Feng's pupils constricted rapidly, and he yelled with all his might, "Run!"

After shouting, he grabbed Mu Shihan and Lin Jiaxuan, one in each hand, and began to run swiftly.

Passersby were puzzled, bewildered by Xiao Feng's strange behavior, but what puzzled them even more was why the drone was now following in the same direction as Xiao Feng ran.
