The ideal is always so beautiful, but the reality is often incompatible with the ideal, and the difference is thousands of miles! Plans can never keep up with changes. If he had known that he would encounter such a situation today, Chen Long would never have made up his mind to come to this province.

City, which makes progress now in a dilemma.

With the help of a kind-hearted old man from an abandoned shantytown, Chen Long found temporary accommodation and food. Through his guidance, he found his own job, which was to pick up scraps around the provincial capital and purchase scraps in residential areas.

He got an old tricycle that the kind-hearted old man Shen Songyang had used before. He used the modification of the old battery to turn the old tricycle into a power-assisted electric tricycle. Using this tricycle and the guidance of the old man Shen, his waste collection work was able to

It started smoothly. Every morning, he would set out on a tricycle that was fully charged at night, and go into different residential areas to rummage through large and small trash cans, sorting out the scraps that could be recycled and sold for money... At the same time, he made

I picked up a bell and rang it from time to time in the community, shouting to recycle waste items. There would always be some old grannies and grandpas who brought some unnecessary daily necessities from home for him to recycle...

From morning to night, I would always receive several tricycles going back to Old Shen's abandoned shanty to sell to him, and I could earn hundreds of yuan every day...

Life is like this. The biggest difficulties have to be faced and solved. It may be a little uncomfortable and confusing at first, but when you slowly straighten out and adapt, everything will slowly get better.

Self-esteem and face are always the biggest problems. At the beginning, Chen Long also felt a little embarrassed. He did not dare to ring the acquisition bell and did not dare to shout loudly for waste recycling. He felt like a thief, and some people looked at him in a colored way.

Look at him whispering comments about him behind his back... But after these days of work, he now feels adapted to this job that can make money, and even has confidence in this job that many outsiders cannot understand...

The kind-hearted old couple now basically stay in the shanty every day to buy and sort out the scraps that people bring to their door. When they have a little free time, Old Shen still goes around as before, and he can always pick up some that can be sold.

Waste money. Or, someone calls and comes to collect it...

During lunch time today, Chen Long came back with a full tricycle. As soon as he got off the car and finished sorting, Old Shen received a call saying that there was a large order of waste in the city center that needed to be recycled.

So Chen Long was called up to help, and the two of them rode tricycles toward the city center...

Old Shen took Chen Long to a place in the city center where a lot of large and small black plastic bags were piled up. This was a large newly renovated big brand clothing store, next to a "Xiaoling" store.

Health Center".

The streets are crowded with people coming and going, and handsome men and women in fashionable clothes come in and out of every exquisitely decorated shop...

Chen Long had no intention of paying attention to the passing vehicles and pedestrians on the street. He was just busy carrying bags of waste items into two tricycles with Old Shen and tying them up with tape and ropes.

"Chen Long, it's still the same as before. I'll lead the way first, and you will follow me closely behind. The car is too full and heavy, and there are many pedestrians on the street. You must pay attention to safety."

"OK.

After Old Shen finished explaining, he jumped on his tricycle and started driving forward.

Chen Long also quickly jumped on his tricycle, started the car and started to drive forward.

Before walking forward half a meter, the wheel hit a hard object and jumped. With a "bang" sound, several large bags of waste items fell from the car and were scattered everywhere on the ground...

Chen Long shouted to Old Shen to stop and wait, but he had already driven the tricycle away. So Chen Long had to park the tricycle, quickly picked up the bags of waste items that fell on the ground, and repacked them in the car.

Tie it up with tape and rope, jump on the driver's seat, start the car, and then chase Old Shen's tricycle...

"Xiaoling Health Center" is a health care company registered by Li Xiaoling, which mainly sells cosmetics and beauty products. Today is the weekend, and it also happens to be the first anniversary of the opening of this health center. She invited her best friend and sister Li Fengfang

Many people from Qingfang came to guide her in the store celebration...

While we were discussing some issues, a female clerk suddenly broke in and said loudly: "Sister Xiaoling, the big bag of expensive cosmetics I just purchased is missing..."

"That's not bad. They are imported cosmetics. They are very hard to find and are valuable. Let's go look for them separately immediately!" After hearing this, Li Xiaoling immediately ordered her to leave her work and follow the female shop assistant out to look for them.

Li Feng and Fang Qingfang also went out to look for them.

"Isn't there a lot of surveillance cameras installed inside and outside the health center? Can't we check the video immediately and find out?" Fang Qingfang put forward a good suggestion.

Sure enough, after checking the surveillance video, I saw that the man who was hauling the scraps in front of the store next door picked them up and loaded them into his car...

At this time, Li Hu and Lu Wanyou happened to drive to the door of the health center. They saw Li Xiaoling and the clerk inside in a panic, so they went in to understand the situation.

After checking the surveillance video, he immediately got into the car, started the car, and chased...

——*******——

Chen Long tried his best to turn on the power, but still couldn't catch up with Old Shen. Because he was still unfamiliar with the street locations in the provincial capital, and without Old Shen to lead the way, he was now a bit like a headless fly, going only by feeling.

Go forward.

Maybe the tricycle was really too heavy, and the old battery had been used for most of the day, so his speed was getting slower and slower.

Suddenly, a black BMW jumped in front of his tricycle and stopped, blocking his path. Chen Long was forced to stop.

After the BMW stopped, two young men got out of the car.

"That's right, it's this tricycle!" Lu Wanyou said loudly after getting off the passenger seat.

"This old loser who stole things needs to be dealt with properly!" Li Hu followed closely behind Lu Wanyou.

Is there something wrong? Chen Long looked confused when he saw two angry young men coming out of the car and walking toward him...

"You thief, get out of the car!" Lu Wanyou blocked in front of the tricycle and pointed at Chen Long and cursed loudly.

"What's going on? What happened?" Chen Long asked.

"Get out of the car right away! Do you know what you did?" Li Hu also shouted at Chen Long.

They had long forgotten about their previous meeting in the hospital.

Lu Wanyou and Li Hu yelled and cursed at him, which did not frighten Chen Long, but made him very puzzled. He believed that they must have made something wrong.

When Chen Long was still hesitating whether to get off the tricycle, Lu Wanyou had already walked up to him, stretched out his hand and pulled him off the tricycle seat.

"Take the things off your car right away and see what you took from us! I'm telling you, don't pretend not to know!"

"Did you make a mistake? What did I take from you? I'm just a collector of junk items."

"Haha, stop talking nonsense and unpack the things in the car immediately!"

As Li Hu spoke, he untied the tape ligation head from the side of the tricycle. Suddenly, a cart full of large and small bags fell off the tricycle with a crash.

At this time, Fang Qingfang, Li Feng and Li Xiaoling, who were driving another car, also arrived.

While Chen Long was still trying to figure things out, he noticed Fang Qingfang coming out of the car behind him with an angry face. An inexplicable panic instantly arose in his mind, and it felt like the temperature in the entire provincial capital suddenly dropped to freezing point.

…

An instinctive reaction that he didn't know where he came from made him run away...!

"Catch him! Don't let him run away!" Fang Qingfang shouted loudly to Lu Wanyou who was closest to Chen Long.

Seeing this, Lu Wanyou and Li Hu immediately rushed up from behind to chase...

This was not an open place, there were many vehicles and pedestrians passing by, and the sprained foot was not completely healed yet, so Chen Long was caught up before he could run very far.

Lu Wanyou pounced hard, threw Chen Long to the ground, grabbed his hand, pulled him behind his back and locked him.

Chen Long's body was pressed to the ground by Lu Wanyou, unable to move. At this time, Li Hu rushed up, lifted up his expensive, shiny, sharp and hard crocodile leather shoes and kicked Chen Long's lower body violently...

…

"Why are you running? Look, you're still running! I'll kick you to death! I'll kick you to death!"

...Chen Long was in so much pain that he wanted to scream but couldn't. He let Lu Wanyou sit him down on the ground and Li Hu kicked him randomly.

At this time, Fang Qingfang, Li Feng, and Li Xiaoling had already caught up with them, and many people were surrounding them to watch the excitement.

"Li Hu, stop kicking, stop kicking him. If you keep kicking like this, he will be kicked to death!" Li Feng quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Hu to stop his violence.

Fang Qingfang took out her mobile phone and dialed Huang Linfeng's number.

"Huang Linfeng, where do you work now? I caught a thief here, can you come over and help me deal with it?"

On the other end of the phone, Huang Linfeng briefly explained the situation through Fang Qingfang, and then responded to her: "I understand. According to the procedures, you should dial 110 immediately to call the police. You need the 110 main station to arrange the police according to the location. But I happen to be at your location at this time.

Nearby, I'll be there in about five minutes..."

...I don’t know where Li Xiaoling found a rope and handed it to Li Hu: "Brother, tie him up. This thief is really abominable!"

Li Hu took the rope and tied Chen Long tightly together with Lu Wanyou in a few moments.

Chen Long was tortured on the ground for seven or eight o'clock, and finally he could sit up. Otherwise, if Lu Wanyou sat on him again, he would really be crushed to pieces, and it would be difficult to breathe.

, not to mention the pain all over my body...

Although they were tied up by Wu Hua Da, Lu Wanyou and Li Hu still held Chen Long tightly on the ground, as if they were afraid that he would escape.

More people came to watch, forming a big circle on three floors inside and three floors outside, all whispering to each other...

Li Xiaoling was close to Li Feng, like a child in need of protection, grabbing Li Feng's wrist.

Chen Long's old clothes and trousers have been torn and torn, and the old sneakers on his feet have also cracked a big hole. Sweat is pouring from his forehead. The bright red blood from his broken nose keeps flowing out and flowing down his lips.

It reached his chin, and dripped drop by drop onto the torn old shirt, dyeing the shirt red all over... Chen Long never dared to raise his eyes, he just stared blankly at the ground...

Looking at Chen Long in such a mess before her, Li Feng began to feel heartache. She took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, pulled out a few and walked forward, squatting down to help him wipe away the blood that flowed out.

"Li Feng, you don't need to pay attention to such sympathetic people. Let the police handle it when the police arrive." Fang Qingfang followed and pulled Li Feng up.

"The thief is also a human being. Is it too much for us to treat him like this?"

"Thief? I don't even know who he is now!"

Fang Qingfang glared at Chen Long on the ground, feeling only anger and hatred. Several encounters at different times and places, and what happened made her have a huge change in her view of the person in front of her. It can be said that she has no good impression of him now.

and sympathy!

"You know, my expensive imported cosmetics are worth tens of thousands of yuan. The key is that they are very difficult to buy! You are such a brave thief. You stole them easily. Why didn't you think that we have surveillance cameras everywhere?
