DCBS: Chapter 65

At night, the tired middle-aged man knocked on the door of his house. The moment the nanny opened the door, he adjusted his expression and looked relaxed.

The nanny took his briefcase. He put on his slippers and looked into the living room. He didn’t see his son so he asked, “Is Letian in his room?”

“Yes, Mr Deng.” The nanny nodded. “Not long after I bought food at noon, Letian came back from the bookstore and looked quite happy. It is much better than the past few days.”

“Really?” Deng Shu laughed. “I’ll go and take a look.”

He knocked on the door. There was a clear and childish ‘come in’ from inside and it sounded faintly cheerful.

Deng Shu was inexplicably relieved. His son’s mood had been a bit low and sullen recently but he refused to say the reason when Deng Shu asked.

He was afraid that his son was being bullied at school so he went to the teacher to ask around, but he didn’t get any answers. He had been worrying about this, but fortunately, his son was happy again.

He gently turned the doorknob and saw Deng Letian sitting in front of the computer, looking intently at a webpage that looked like news.

Deng Shu cleared his throat and said, “Son, what books did you buy at the bookstore today? Do they look good?”

The moment Deng Letian heard this voice, he immediately turned his head and his expression was very excited. “Dad, I met the cap-wearing brother from the news! He must be the cap-wearing brother!”

Deng Shu couldn’t understand it for a while. “What brother?”

The middle school student with an excited expression waved to him. “Dad, come and see!”

He moved his body away to reveal the news on the page. Deng Shu clearly saw the bold and enlarged headlines: …All types of bullying incidents frequently occur inside and outside the campus. We can’t just rely on the unknown hero’s occasional help…

An hour later, the solemn-looking Deng Shu sat in the police station and watched the surveillance video being played on the computer.

Deng Letian was sitting on another chair. Once he saw himself obediently opening his wallet on the screen, he lowered his head in shame. The policewoman accompanying him comforted him, “Your reaction is right. The other group was powerful and had many people. You are only one person and it is more important to avoid getting hurt.”

The hooligans directly took Deng Letian’s wallet. Deng Letian, who originally thought they only needed money, looked overwhelmed and wanted to chase, but he stopped abruptly at the threatening eyes of the other party.

The middle school student stood there with a dejected face until a young man who looked like a student approached him and talked to him.

Deng Letian cheered up the moment he saw this. “He must be the cap-wearing brother! After taking back the wallet, I secretly walked over to take a look. All those people had fallen to the ground and kept yelling, just like in the news. The cap brother cleaned up a lot of bad guys alone!”

The strange young man gave a lesson to the gangsters on another street that happened to have no surveillance. The corresponding video couldn’t be found for the time being.

However, just based on the video of them taking the wallet from Deng Letian and the strange young man returning it afterward, combined with Deng Letian’s testimony, the whole process was already clear.

The policewoman looked at the video with surprise. They had all heard of the mysterious citizen who claimed to be surnamed Gao who recently appeared, but they didn’t expect him to be so young. He looked to be a high school student or college student.
