Ren Rongzheng ran out quickly and saw the screaming girl being pushed to the ground, while a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties was running away not far away.

This is the busiest street in the city, with many pedestrians, but when they see the fleeing thief, everyone instinctively avoids him, and no one bothers with him.

Ren Rongzheng ran up to him in a few quick steps, then leaped up and kicked the fleeing thief to the ground from behind.

The thief was kicked to the ground, but quickly got up. If the other person had been a man, he would have knelt down and begged for mercy. But seeing that it was a woman, he had the idea of ​​resisting, but this idea was futile in front of Ren Rongzheng.

"Grandma, have mercy! I was wrong. Everything I stole is here. Please forgive me."

After being subdued in a few moves, the thief hurriedly handed over all the things he had stolen and begged for mercy in a very sorry state.

"You're young and capable, yet you choose not to follow the right path. Even attempted theft is a crime, so how can I let you go today?"

Having finally caught a thief, would she really let him go? Of course, she would hand him over to the police.

After dealing with the thief, Ren Rongzheng took the items the thief had handed over and returned them to the girl.

"This is what the thief handed over. Do you see if anything is missing?"

The girl looked to be around twenty years old, wearing a very stylish and beautiful dress. And look at the things that the thief stole from her—the gold and silver jewelry was even more valuable.

This girl is definitely a capitalist's daughter.

"Nothing is missing, thank you so much."

After looking at the item, the girl was extremely grateful and looked at Ren Rongzheng with great admiration.

"You're so brave. So many people didn't care, but you, a young lady, dared to step in and help, and even subdued that kid."

"I was really worried for you when you were fighting him just now. If you had gotten hurt while trying to help me, I would have been in real trouble."

Ok?

Although it was just a few words, you could tell that this girl was educated. There weren't many educated people in this era, like those military wives, many of whom didn't even know many characters.

"It's nothing, it's a small matter. My husband is a soldier, so it's normal for a military wife to know a little bit of martial arts."

"You're a military wife? That's amazing! My name is Chu Yue. May I ask how I should address you, military wife?" Chu Yue introduced herself.

"My name is Ren Rongzheng."

"Ren Rongzheng? What a nice name. Your parents must be cultured people."

"I guess so, my mom was a college graduate."

As for her father, who was worse off than not having one, she didn't want to mention him.

"Really? That's amazing. It was rare to see college students in our parents' generation, unlike my parents, who were both illiterate and rough. That's why my dad insisted that I become a cultured person," Chu Yue said admiringly.

Are her parents roughnecks? Looking at her, it's really hard to tell that her parents are roughnecks. She looks like her parents' darling, and she's been very pampered.

Seeing that the girl had some background, Ren Rongzheng chatted with her for a while: "Although this place is relatively rich, the gap between the rich and the poor is still large. It is indeed not safe for you to be dressed in gold and silver."

"I didn't want to either. My dad bought them all for me, saying they looked good on me and insisted I wear them all. Now look what happened, I've been robbed. I'm going to have a good talk with my dad when I get back."

This statement further confirms that she is the apple of her parents' eye.

"Your father is in business, right?"

"Yes, Sister Rongzheng noticed?"

"That's easy to tell. May I ask what kind of business my father is in?"

If her father is in the clothing business, wouldn't that be even more effective than the hero saving the damsel in distress in the drama?

“My family owns a mine; my father is the mine owner.”

Oh, so your family owns a mine...

"What's wrong, Sister Rongzheng? Are you disappointed because you think my dad is a mine owner and not very educated?"

"No, no, it's not that. You can't even mine without any education. Even geniuses would have to give way. You've built such a successful business and raised your daughter to be as beautiful as a flower. Your father is truly amazing. How could I be disappointed in such a good father? I was just so shocked that I forgot what I was going to say."

"Hahaha, Sister Rongzheng, you're so funny! And if my dad heard you say that, he'd be overjoyed."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"It's a pleasure to make you my friend. Is Sister Rongzheng also alone? I'm alone too. Where are you going?"

"I was buying clothes in this store when I heard you calling me, so I came out."

Chu Yue looked up at the store and then exclaimed with delight, "We're so lucky to have met! I want to buy clothes at this store too!"

"Really? What a coincidence! I only decided to buy a dress here because I'm going to a ball. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go into this place normally; it's too expensive."

Ren Rongzheng was telling the truth. She was focused on saving money to start her business. If she hadn't gone to the dance, she wouldn't have spent the money on this knife handle.

"A ball? Is it a ball at the Grand Hotel?"

"Yeah, so you also... Oh, right, you must be rich, you'd definitely be invited to this kind of event."

“I don’t want to go, but my dad insists that I go. He says it’s so I can make more friends, especially educated ones. I’m so happy that Sister Rongzheng is coming too. Where does Sister Rongzheng live? I’ll have the driver pick you up, and we can go together.”

“No need, my husband’s unit also has vehicles, and his orderly is free at night, so I’ll have him take me.”

"Evening?" Chu Yue asked. "It was originally scheduled for evening, but it's been changed to daytime. Doesn't Sister Rong Zheng know?"

"The ball was changed from nighttime to daytime?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Rongzheng was startled, and the words Zhan Beiqin had spoken to her came to mind.

Before leaving, Zhan Beiqin had just said, "Who says a ball can only be held at night?" But now the ball has actually been moved to daytime. Has Zhan Beiqin's mouth been blessed?

"However, I only received the notification when I left home, so I shouldn't have notified Sister Rongzheng yet."

"Why was it suddenly changed to daytime? Do you know why?"

Ren Rongzheng still felt that this matter was quite strange, after all, Zhan Beiqin had just finished speaking.

"I don't know either. These kinds of dances have always been held at night."

What time is it during the day?

"It starts at 2 PM and ends at 6:30 PM."

This……

Is Zhan Beiqin's mouth really blessed? He keeps insisting that she be home by 7 p.m. If it ends at 6:30 p.m., wouldn't she be able to go home at 7 p.m.?

"Let's go, Sister Rongzheng, let's go shopping for clothes together."

Chu Yue took Ren Rongzheng's arm with great enthusiasm and led her into the store.

It's obvious that Chu Yue is a real rich girl; she spends money without batting an eye, and she's so generous as to offer to give her a gift. How could Ren Rongzheng dare to accept such a favor?

"No, no, no, I can't accept what you're offering. You encountered a thief, and I was just doing my duty. If I were doing this for your reward, then my actions would be different."

"Sister Rongzheng, if you lived in ancient times, you would definitely be a female knight-errant."

Whether she was a female knight-errant in ancient times is unknown, but in the 21st century she was a secret agent.

Ren Rongzheng smiled at Chu Yue's flattery, then got to the point: "Chu Yue, the invitation to the ball has been sent to my parents' house. Do I need to bring the invitation to enter the hotel? If so, I'll go back to my parents' house to pick it up today."

She definitely didn't have an invitation, but with her skills, it would have been too easy for her to sneak in. But since she happened to run into Chu Yue, she had to find a way to get in openly and legitimately.
