Chapter 129: Chapter 125: Ah~ It’s Little Mice

The plump aunt was dumbfounded, “You don’t believe me?”

“Why should I believe you?” Wen Ran countered, “After all, if things really happened the way you said, why didn’t you speak earlier and only now?”

“Yeah, it feels like you’re trying to evade responsibility.”

“Oh dear, the person is already pitiful after falling, and here you’re slandering them.”

“Exactly, exactly.”

Hongguo and Xiao Chenxing were also dumbstruck, the events turning and turning again.

The plump aunt found it hard to explain, “It really wasn’t me, he just, just came running over, wanting to take someone’s belongings, but ended up falling while struggling.

I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Nonsense!”

The crowd didn’t believe it and rushed to criticize the plump aunt.

The man had been stealing for years and this was the first time he encountered such a situation, seeing so many people speaking on his behalf, he found himself unable to grasp his feelings.

“This young man, strong and able, why falsely accuse someone of stealing?”

A shaky old lady stood up from the corner, “You’re really despicable! Not a single honest word from your mouth.”

The plump aunt swore by oath, unfortunately, it was completely late.

No one was willing to believe her.

The plump aunt felt terribly wronged, “It’s really not me, I saw him try to steal with my own eyes.”

“How long do you plan to falsely accuse others to save money?”

Seeing the plump aunt retreating, Wen Ran finally spoke, she looked at the man, smiling, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

The man thought Wen Ran was demanding an apology, casually saying, “Sorry, we misunderstood you just now.”

Anyway, with a new sheep to fleece, he decided to let this strange family go.

“It’s not really a misunderstanding,” Wen Ran stood up and easily pinned the man down.

Crowd: “?”

They were thoroughly confused, what on earth was happening?

“After all, your falling incident is inseparable from me.”

“What?!”

The man’s heart sank, trying to struggle, only to find the petite girl pinning him down had surprising strength.

“Every day you hunt geese, and today a goose pokes your eye.”

“Let me go,” The man struggled, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Wen Ran lifted her hand and gave the man a big slap, “You don’t understand because your brain is atrophied.”

She lifted her head, “Sorry to inconvenience everyone, please call the train police for me.”

“Sister, I…”

Xiao Chenxing quickly pulled Hongguo aside, “We can’t go, if we get targeted, it’ll be trouble.”

Wen Ran approvingly glanced at Xiao Chenxing, turned and pointed out three men from the crowd, “Brother, this person surely has stolen items, please go call for help.

I’ll definitely reward you generously when you return.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Mrs. Xiao didn’t hesitate, pulling out a small red envelope from her daughter, taking out three yuan, “Thank you.”

Running an errand for one yuan, the three were more than willing to go.

Furthermore, they wanted to find out what was really going on.

They were nearly overwhelmed with confusion.

In the corner, two sticky, coveting gazes had not disappeared.

The train police quickly arrived, they always knew there were thieves on the train and worked hard on catching them, unfortunately, these people were slippery.

Upon seeing them, they behaved, without direct evidence, they were powerless.

“Comrade, let us handle this.”

The train officer was surprised to see the man’s face, “Kai Zi.”

The man looked evasive, “I’ve reformed, I didn’t steal this time.”

Wen Ran corrected, “It’s not ’didn’t steal,’ it’s ’failed to steal.’

“Thanks to you this time.”

The train police found a watch and a roll of money on Kai Zi, then left with the stolen goods and the person.

The plump aunt, excited, “See, I told you! This has nothing to do with me, look at you all, being spun around by a thief.”

Everyone thought about their recent enthusiasm and felt quite embarrassed.

But…

They still showed no kindness to the plump aunt, “I spit on that! How dare you say anything, you won’t think you’re anything good, do you?

If it weren’t for you, how would we be led around by the nose by a thief? Clearly saw it, but acted blind.”

“Yeah, all because of you…”

The plump aunt faced a torrent of criticism, Wen Ran sat back down, Mrs. Xiao leaned over, “Ranran, did you sense it?”

“Mm,” Wen Ran softly explained, “Moreover, it’s not just one person.”

It’s a gang operation.

The numbers were quite significant.

Otherwise, Mr. Xiao and Xiao Chenye wouldn’t take so long in the restroom.

Mrs. Xiao was a bit panicked, “Ah? So what do we do?”

“Don’t worry,” Wen Ran reassured, “One on one, they’re no match for me, even in numbers, it’s manageable.”

Hongguo was more concerned, “Sis.”

“Alright, trust me,” Wen Ran decided not to say much, merely surveying the carriage.

Lesser than ten minutes passed when Mr. Xiao and Xiao Chenye finally arrived late.

Mr. Xiao looked disgruntled, grumbling, “This is really unlucky, no clue why people seemed to endlessly crowd the restroom today.”

Xiao Chenye’s gaze fell on Wen Ran, “What’s happened?”

“You noticed?”

Xiao Chenye chuckled, “I’ve been on the road running cars for years now, if I had no vigilance, I would’ve been swallowed whole ages ago.”

Initially, it was just suspicion.

The crowded restroom seemed normal.

Yet, each went in, stayed seven or eight minutes, repeating, it’s clearly abnormal.

He grew suspicious and discreetly scrutinized, recognized something amiss, yet remained silent.

No deaths on their hands, just minor theft.

Even if an incident occurred, it’d remain minor.

Wen Ran looked at Xiao Chenye, exasperated, “You didn’t think to come and check?”

“If I returned, what if I interrupted your actions?” Xiao Chenye laughed, “Seeing you handle things adequately.”

Wen Ran hummed twice, “Of course.”

Looking at such vibrant Wen Ran, Xiao Chenye’s gaze upon her grew increasingly intense.

He simply adored this very Wen Ran.

Wen Ran stood up, “I’m heading to the restroom.”

Xiao Chenye reached out, holding Wen Ran, “You’re not taking me?”

Mrs. Xiao: “?”

Feeling itchy.

Wen Ran blinked, “Crowded, more attention.

Besides, you didn’t return earlier, now wanting to join the fun?”

Facing Mrs. Xiao’s keen glare, Xiao Chenye released his hold.

Wen Ran waved her hand, strolling away.

Yes, Wen Ran was off to seek some fun.

After all that chaos, she didn’t gain any benefits, impossible.

She—

never worked for free.

As soon as she left, a small mouse started following her, through the bustling aisles, the mouse multiplied from one, to three.
