From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 179 - 89: The Unlucky Female Star Thief
Su Jiameng and Guan Changxi exchanged these words with smiling faces, and because the crowd was dense, she accidentally bumped into a woman wearing a trench coat hood. She instinctively said, "Sorry, did you get hurt anywhere?"
The woman in the purple trench coat glanced at her with a subtle expression, tightened her hood, and avoided the hand reaching out to her, gracefully turned around, and blended into the crowd, disappearing shortly after. Su Jiameng’s outstretched hand froze in the air, after a moment she retracted it and glanced at the large virtual screen in the square, where those two messages were still scrolling.
"Changxi, that woman earlier... had a gunshot wound on her palm. Judging by the scabbing marks on the wound, it seems the gun that hurt her was no ordinary one." Su Jiameng looked towards the direction the woman left, her eyes flickering slightly, "I hope my luck isn’t that good..."
It seems every time I go out, I encounter something. Could it be that I’m really the trouble magnet Gu Ningxuan was talking about?
A special constitution that attracts incidents? Probably not... It seems my previous self was quite normal, not running into bizarre situations every time I stepped outside. The previous Clay Ore mess, now interstellar pirates...
Actually, Su Jiameng was somewhat uncertain. The woman in the trench coat had strong spiritual power, but her aura was unstable, clearly severely injured, the gunshot wound on her palm matched the features described in the messages...
"Let’s go home..." If we don’t go back, I might unluckily run into that group committing crimes on the run.
In the past, if Su Jiameng encountered a character suspected to be a Star Thief boss, she would have chased after them without hesitation, even knowing the opponent was a dangerous figure. Because in the past, she had no family above, no partner in the middle, no offspring below, solitary without anything to worry about or lose. Any factor causing danger was an object to be eliminated in her eyes.
But now, her identity has changed, the world around her changed, she still has no family above, but has a few very close friends, two unborn children, and a career she cares about. And her current strength isn’t as strong as in her previous life, encountering a ruthless character, without using telekinesis might cost her life. Catching Star Thieves is someone else’s job, she doesn’t have the ability to manage that now...
"Changxi..." However, her inherent nature prevailed, making it impossible to completely ignore it, so she whispered to Guan Changxi, "Send an anonymous report to the relevant department saying the woman in the purple trench coat suspected to be a Star Thief appeared here..."
Su Jiameng felt relieved after saying this, then she took Changxi and a bunch of mecha model parts home.
She didn’t know that because of her report, that unlucky Star Thief was almost caught, embarrassingly circling with the city police all day, finally barely escaping with help from companions, her just healed wound almost tearing open... looking extremely pathetic.
"Bastard, if I find out who made that report, I’ll skin her alive!" the purple trench coat woman lying on the hospital bed underground gritted her teeth, her exquisite face full of anger.
"You exposed your own tracks, what does it have to do with others?" Sitting on a chair by the bedside was a fairly mature looking man, with a tall stature, the aura around him carrying a hint of roguishness, a freshly-lit cigarette in his mouth, and seaweed-like messy black hair that somehow increased his appealingly decadent score.
He sneered at the woman, if she hadn’t been guilty, thinking the mysterious police already targeted her, unwarily showing her tracks, she wouldn’t have been chased around, eventually requiring his intervention.
The woman, hearing this, was instantly choked, speechless, could she say she deeply regretted her performance back there?
It was utterly humiliating, completely unfit with her usual flamboyant style! If her subordinates saw, wouldn’t they laugh themselves to death? Their almighty boss actually tricked out by a group of interstellar police...
"Don’t forget, I’m helping you now, saving me was a matter of course. Otherwise when this data leaks, the one implicated would be you." the woman reminded the man irritably, who still wore a roguish smile.
Seeing the other’s relaxed expression, seemingly not taking this matter seriously, this realization left the woman feeling even more distressed.
