Chapter 130: Chapter 126: Freeze! Hands Up

Looking at Wen Ran’s back, the man with the knife scar at the corner of his eye gritted his teeth, “Boss, I’m going to see what this woman is about.”

“Don’t be impulsive,” the boss grabbed Scar’s arm, “This woman is not simple.”

“Boss!” Scar was anxious, “Kai Zi got caught by her, shouldn’t we avenge him?”

The boss’s eyes flashed, “Er Bai, don’t act impulsively. Kai Zi was caught, not killed.”

Er Bai: “But this time, the train police thoroughly searched him and found stuff on him, making it difficult for him to get away.”

“At most, he’ll do three years. As long as he keeps quiet inside, we’ll take care of his blind old mother.

When he gets out, he’ll still be one of us.”

After saying that, the boss sneered, “Of course, if he loses his head and starts talking, he can’t blame us for not being friendly anymore.”

Er Bai was stunned.

The boss looked at Er Bai, reaching out to pat his face, “Snap out of it, when you chose this path, you should have known this day might come.”

“Boss…”

Er Bai hated it even more, if it weren’t for that meddlesome young woman, his brother wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Just for stealing her bag!

As Wen Ran walked, she suddenly noticed the little mice behind her were gone, which puzzled her.

Turns out, is the skill level in this line of work this low these days?

Can’t even keep up.

She flicked her hair, turned her head, and suddenly saw those three mice chasing after her again.

Hehe.

Interesting.

These days, the only place that can be considered a private space is the train’s caboose.

Wen Ran moved smoothly through the carriages, leisurely heading towards the caboose, where she planned to have a heart-to-heart talk with the little mice.

Maybe she’d charge a little mental anguish fee.

Sigh~

It’s not that she’s heartless, it’s just that making money isn’t easy these days, and she’s got an extra child to support now.

Expenses are many!

“Hey, what’s going on?”

Seeing the scene before her, Wen Ran was dumbfounded.

Damn, how did she end up in the driver’s cabin?

Stupid road fool.

Now that she’s here, how can she manage the heist!

Wen Ran was so dumb she almost fainted again.

After adding a shovel of coal to the blazing furnace, the worker closed the furnace door, wiped his face with a towel, “This isn’t where you should be, hurry, hurry, go back.”

Wen Ran licked her lips, “Sorry, I went the wrong way.”

“Ah, youngsters nowadays just like to wander.”

The man grinned, showing a shiny set of teeth, “Go back quickly.”

“Alrighty!”

But as she turned away, she found she couldn’t leave.

Three burly men closed the driver’s cabin door, looking at Wen Ran with malicious intent, “Did you do it on purpose?”

Worker: “?”

Robbery?

He was a bit confused, holding his shovel, unsure of what to do.

He’s been doing this job since he was sixteen, now twenty years on, and a lot of robbery and theft have happened on trains before.

But one aimed at him, this was the first.

Is the family too poor and wants to take some coal?

Doesn’t seem like it.

He couldn’t figure it out.

Yet the worker still instinctively moved in front of Wen Ran, blocking.

Though not young, maybe due to years of labor, his back was slightly bent, his posture hunched.

“Boss, let’s talk this out,” he tried to reason, “This place isn’t a joke, if it goes wrong, the whole train of people could be affected.”

“Get lost,” Er Bai was irritable, “What’s it to you? We’re after that young woman, move aside, don’t block our way.”

The worker breathed a sigh of relief, at least the train of people was safe.

As he calmed down, he felt tense again.

Three ominous burly men targeting a young girl, this couldn’t be anything good based on sheer common sense.

He nodded and bowed, “Boss, is there a misunderstanding here?

This young lady seems rather nice, doesn’t look like someone who’d cause trouble.”

Wen · Looks very docile · Ran: “?”

Doesn’t cause trouble?

Ah~ If only the team leader were here, he’d have quite an opinion on that.

“What’s it to you?” The boss was fuming, his finger almost poking the worker’s forehead, “Move quickly, or I’ll throw you out the window.

Then wouldn’t this whole train have to bury you?”

The worker’s body was stiff with fear, but he couldn’t back down.

He was racking his brain for a response.

Wen Ran reached out, placing a hand on his shoulder.

The worker trembled as he turned, almost in tears, he’d lived honestly all his life, never expecting something like this.

“Miss? What’s going on with you all? Could you apologize?”

First solve today’s problem, then deal with these punks later with the police officers.

“No can do!”

The three on the opposite side had no manners, the worker was kicked immediately for his trouble.

Wen Ran grabbed his shoulder, lifting him and tossing him into the coal pile, snatching the shovel, and swiftly moved.

She saw the boss heading straight for the furnace.

“Ouch~”

With a deafening scream.

Wen Ran’s face scrunched up, ouch~ that must hurt.

He’s going to have blisters for sure.

Er Bai: “Boss!”

His eyes were as wide as cow eyes, he wished he could devour Wen Ran whole, “You wretched woman, I’ll make your life a living hell!”

He lunged at her, but Wen Ran was unfazed.

She raised the shovel, one swing each.

“Bang~”

The man fainted.

There was just one last lackey left.

He glanced at the boss, then at Er Bai, and unashamedly knelt, “My lady! Granny!! Ancestor!!!”

He cried and snot ran everywhere, “We’re just trying to earn a living, didn’t mean any harm!”

Wen Ran raised the shovel, bringing it down hard.

“Thud~~”

To hell with you.

Earn a living by stealing from others?

Shameless.

Worker: “?”

Hang on, maybe he wasn’t fully awake today.

Before Wen Ran could start her own search, the train police arrived, raising his gun, “Freeze, everyone freeze, hands up!”

Wen Ran: “?”

She obediently, like a quail, shoved the shovel into the worker’s hands, raising her own above her head as cooperatively as possible.

The worker looked at the shovel, letting out a wail, “It wasn’t me!”

The police looked at the two lying on the ground and the one wheezing and writhing like a giant maggot, dumbfounded.

Didn’t they say they’d create chaos when hijacking the train?

And this was it?

“Li!”

Li’s coal-stoking fellow worker rushed out, “Are you okay?”

He had gone for a quick bathroom break, and in that short time, he returned to find things in chaos.

He hurried back to find the police, preparing to support Li’s family just in case of life-or-death situations.

Turns out, the situation has evolved quite differently than imagined.
