Chapter 1209 Don't you recognize me?
After the New Year holiday, Winnie's film officially entered the closing stage, every day either woke up early to start work, shooting all day, or stay up late for a big night scene. Plus this winter and cold, the whole crew's nerves are tense, do not dare to have the slightest relaxation.
Just think, do not make any mistakes, in time to shoot before the Spring Festival, but also to go home for a New Year.
And at the same time, Stella and Clarence arrived in S City.
All this time, Darnell's people have been searching the neighborhood, but never saw Justin's figure again.
Clarence and Stella have been here for a week and have not heard from him.
In the hotel, Stella had just come out of the bathroom when she saw Clarence put away his phone and he said to her, "Let's go back tomorrow."
Stella paused, "Or not."
Clarence gave a low "hmm".
He said, "It should be that they are mistaken, there is no need to waste any more time here."
Stella whispered, "Good."
The next morning, there was a partner from S City who heard that Clarence was here and came to visit.
Stella listened to them talk about work and stayed a little bored, so she went downstairs to the hotel and strolled around.
She remembered that Sherry had once told her that S City was famous for a snack that was not available anywhere else, so she had the intention of going to try it.
Stella took out her phone and searched, and it just so happened that the place was not far away, a ten-minute walk away.
S City is a city surrounded by sea on all sides, she went to the place, is an old street, all kinds of seafood a lot, so even the air, occasionally filled with the cold wet fishy smell. Stella walked outside the snack bar, only to find that there was a line.
In the mindset of going out specially and coming all the way, she saw that the line was not very long, so she just waited in line.
Not a moment later, the front also do not know what happened, the noise came, and then the crowd also became crowded.
Stella was unprepared and was pushed, and as she stepped back, she seemed to bump into someone, and she quickly apologized, "Excuse me......"
A hand steadily held her arm, and a clear voice came, "It's okay, are you okay?"
Hearing the voice, Stella froze and abruptly turned back.
The man in front of him wore the most familiar smile, the difference was that his gentle, clear face had a few more old scars, one even extending to the bottom of his neck.
He gave a slight nod towards Stella and then turned his wheelchair towards the snack bar.
Stella looked at his back and was stunned.
In the snack bar, a girl in her early twenties was grabbed by the wrist by a man with a face full of flesh, who viciously said, "If you don't pay for it today, you won't walk out of here!"
The girl was obviously frightened by him, her eyes filled with tears, she opened her mouth and tried to explain, but every time before she could open her mouth, she was scolded back by the man. Someone next to me couldn't stand it: "You don't bully a little girl ah, what can't you say properly?"
"Which one of your eyes saw me bullying her? It's obviously this little fool who broke my watch! If you are so kind, you pay for her, you pay!"
"I'll pay for it."
Justin appeared next to the girl, looked at the man, and repeated, "I'll pay you back, let her go."
The man grunted coldly and shook off the girl's hand, "You cripple, can you afford to pay for it."
The aggrieved girl immediately hid behind Justin, and her tears kept falling.
Justin said, "How much, you name it."
The man's eyes fell on the watch on his wrist: "She broke my watch, you take yours against it."
Justin didn't say anything, unhooked his watch and handed it to him.
The man had a gleam in his eye and was about to go for it when the watch was in the air, but was snatched away. "Who is it again......"
Stella held her watch and glanced down to meet the man's gaze, "Are you sure this is enough to cover you?"
The man adjusted his expression: "A broken watch, certainly not enough, but I see them a fool, a cripple, when I am a little virtuous, eat a little loss forget."
With that, he reached out to grab the watch from Stella's hand, but she dodged it.
Stella said without haste: "Look at what you said, how can we let you lose? I know a watch repairer, he is quite knowledgeable about your brand-name watches, send it over to him to take a look, how much we pay you the original price." The man became more and more impatient: "Who are you? What's the matter with you? Hurry up and give me the stuff, and this matter is over!"
"Finished?" Stella laughed, "What's the rush, do you want the watch that badly."
At this time, a voice came from outside the crowd: "All spread out and disperse, who called the police?"
Stella said, "I reported it."
The man cursed lowly and just wanted to run when he was held down by the police: "You again?"
Things were soon answered.
That man is a small gangster in the neighborhood, all day long, extortion, the last time I came here, saw a girl with a cripple here, he immediately noticed the watch on Justin's hand is worth a lot of money.
When I passed by today, I saw the girl again, and only then did I have this play.
After the police took the man away, Stella gave the watch back to Justin, who said "thank you" and added, "How did you know he was coming for this?"
"From the time you went in, it was so obvious that his attention had been on your watch."
Justin laughed, "So that's what happened."
The girl following behind Justin followed suit and whispered, "Thank you, sister."
Stella looked at her and remembered that the man had just called her a "little fool".
Justin said, "It's getting late, we should go back."
With that, he looked at the watch in his hand and handed it to Stella: "I just realized today that it's so valuable, so I'll give it to you as a little token of my appreciation for helping us out today." Stella looked at him, lips pursed, "Don't you recognize me."
A hint of confusion appeared in Justin's eyes, "Have we ...... met before."
At the same time, he turned his head to look at the girl behind him, "Grace, have you seen this sister."
Grace shook her head: "Haven't seen it, pretty sister......'
Justin looked to Stella again, "Sorry, maybe I forgot."

Stella lost her smile for a moment, and when she looked back again, Justin and the girl named Grace, had already walked away, and the watch, too, was placed in her hand. She slightly closed her palm and followed.
After a long walk out of this street, they waited under the platform, and after about half an hour, a slightly older bus came slowly and stopped in front of them.
Grace skillfully took out a wooden board from under the wheelchair, set it up on the steps of the bus, and then pushed Justin up with force.
Stella looked at the scene and found it absurd and bizarre.
What is Justin doing here?
