Chapter 12 Big sister, who are you? Are we in cahoots?
She knew where the black market was; with so many people in her family, it was a must-go place if they wanted a variety of meals. Her father had even taken her there twice when he was alive.
Now she's going to stake out Wu Zhigang and his group to see when they go to sell their goods, and then she'll put on a red armband and impersonate a member of the G Committee to arrest them!
After waiting for half an hour, Wu Zhigang and his two henchmen came out furtively, carrying some things. They were definitely going to the black market!
She wondered what they were planning to resell, and whether it would be enough to send this guy to a labor camp. If not, she had prepared some things in her spatial storage; she'd make sure he was skinned alive, if not killed! Tong Yuheng didn't think she was ruthless at all; this scum owed the original owner her life!
Tong Yuheng secretly followed them, wondering if her transmigration cheat ability, besides the Xuan Yu space, really included the ability to make one's wishes come true.
The black market was located in a very remote abandoned compound on the outskirts of the city. It had two entrances and the walls were not high. Tong Yuheng climbed a large locust tree that was very close to them outside the compound to observe them.
People had already started setting up stalls, and gradually people entered, with buyers and sellers quietly negotiating prices and making transactions.
Tong Yuheng planned to wait a while; she didn't want to disrupt the normal business dealings of ordinary people. It wouldn't be too late to cause trouble for Wu Zhigang when the black market was about to close.
Whether it was Wu Zhigang's bad luck or Tong Yuheng's wish coming true, less than twenty minutes later, a group of people wearing red armbands came over aggressively!
"Run! The red armband wearers are coming!"
Tong Yuheng, standing high and with a wide view, spotted the group first. She shouted, put the fake armband from her pocket on her left arm, leaped down the tree, and scaled the wall towards Wu Zhigang!
As soon as the people inside heard that the red armband had arrived, they grabbed their goods and ran, regardless of whether it was real or fake! The place immediately descended into chaos.
Wu Zhigang also hurriedly ran away, and even their belongings were hastily packed up and carried away by the two underlings.
But Tong Yuheng wouldn't let him off the hook. First, he delivered a flying kick to his lower back, and with a "crack," he fell to the ground!
Those two underlings were more considerate than him; they rushed over to help him up, but even after pulling him twice, they couldn't lift him! Wu Zhigang screamed in pain!
Tong Yuheng grabbed the baskets from their backs and dragged his two underlings to the ground! Then Tong Yuheng kicked them against the wall with two "bangs".
"Shunzi, let's run! Gang-ge can't escape!"
One of the two underlings was quick-witted. He grabbed Shunzi and started climbing up the wall. At this point, what was the point of loyalty? If one of them ran away, that was one less to lose.
Tong Yuheng let them escape; her target was only Wu Zhigang, that murderer! The original owner of this body was killed by her with a single turn!
Without any mercy, she broke Wu Zhigang's thigh bone, causing him to faint from the pain. Tong Yuheng glanced at the contents of the basket, which were enough to convict him, then tossed one basket beside him and swiftly stored the other in her spatial storage.
By this time, the group of people wearing red armbands had arrived, but almost everyone in the black market had fled. Only those who were slow on their feet remained, and they didn't have much in their hands, not enough for them to be criticized or sent to labor camps.
"Catch one! Come help me! I'm going to catch the ones that ran away!" Tong Yuheng hurriedly called for their help, while he climbed over the wall and ran away.
The women in red armbands asked in confusion: "Who are you, sister? Are we on the same side?"
They saw the basket next to Wu Zhigang, which contained a variety of things, including some grains, a few pieces of cloth, some smoked meat, and a watch.
There was quite a bit of stuff there. To crush him, Tong Yuheng had put the most valuable watch from their other basket in there. This time they caught him red-handed; that kid was in for a world of hurt.
Tong Yuheng quickly ran out of the black market area, found a public toilet, and slipped into his spatial dimension.
She took off her top, put on her own blue floral jacket, removed her hat and armband, braided two braids, washed her face, and walked out with light steps.
As I strolled along the streets reminiscent of the 1970s, I saw jingling buses cruising along the roads and the constant ringing of bicycle bells. However, vibrant colors were scarce, and the overall aesthetic was rather monotonous.
There were a few elderly men and women gathered in groups at the alley entrance, gossiping about some neighbor. A bunch of little kids were running around, chasing after the boy rolling the iron hoop. It was truly a scene from a bygone era!
Now that I'm here, will the original owner have transmigrated into my body? If so, you'd better be filial to my parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents, or I won't let you off the hook!
Tong Yuheng let his thoughts wander, recalling the warm moments he shared with his family in his past life as he walked.
Suddenly, she heard someone shout "Stop thief!" She froze for a moment, and a figure darted past her in a flash!
Without a second thought, Tong Yuheng took off chasing after him. He caught up in just a few steps and kicked the man, sending him flying. The man crashed to the ground with a "thud" two or three meters away!
Immediately afterwards, a tall man in a green military uniform ran over, grabbed the man by the arms behind his back, and carefully pulled out a knife from his body.
"Stealing in broad daylight, this thief is too audacious!" said passerby A.
"He's carrying a knife! What if he hurts someone? The People's Liberation Army comrades must lock him up!" said passerby B.
"That PLA soldier is really something, he took the knife from him in no time!" said passerby C.
Tong Yuheng: I'm the one who kicked him down, okay? All you can see is the green military uniform, right?
At this point, the man in the green military uniform, who had been praised by the crowd, felt embarrassed and said, "It was this female comrade who stopped him; I just grabbed him on the spur of the moment!"
Just then, a middle-aged woman came running over, panting. She was the one whose wallet had been stolen.
"Thank you, comrades! My bag contained my newly received salary, which was stolen by this damned thief! Otherwise, my family would have been in real trouble this month!" the woman explained to everyone.
"No need to thank me, Auntie, it's what we should do," Tong Yuheng said with a smile. She had to accept the credit, and it would be best if she could hand the thief over to the police and receive a letter of commendation from them.
"Auntie, let's take her to the police station. Is this your wallet?" Tong Yuheng pulled out another palm-sized blue cloth wallet with a zipper.
"Yes, this is it! There are thirty-eight dollars and seventy-two cents inside, I counted them!"
Tong Yuheng handed her the wallet, and the aunt unzipped it and counted the money; not a single penny was missing!
"Thank you! Thank you! Let's go to the police station first, and then I'll treat you two to a meal at the state-run restaurant! Hehehe!" The aunt looked at the two of them a little strangely, but the two of them didn't think much of it.
When they arrived at the police station, they happened to find the young policeman who had questioned her a few days earlier on duty. His eyes lit up again, and his attitude became noticeably more friendly and enthusiastic.
