Capítulo 25: Chapter 25: Robbery
Editor: virtual group
The two of them stood up slightly and looked back. They were shocked when they saw that two people were robbing.
One of the bearded men held a dagger while the other robber searched the body of the passengers who were asleep.
The people who did not wake up did not even know that their money had been stolen. Those who woke up would only become too terrified to scream when they saw the bearded man's dagger.
"I, I don't have any money!" One of the passengers woke up from the shock. He was so scared that his forehead was covered in sweat.
"I'll know for sure once I search you," the robber sneered and searched the body of the passenger.
He took out a few notes, "what are these?"
"This... This is my life-saving money. Please don't take it away..." the man begged bitterly.
"Do you want money or your life?" The bearded man waved the dagger in front of the man. The man was so scared that his face turned pale and he did not dare to make another sound.
The two men sneered and continued to walk toward the next passenger.
Guo Xiang and Yi Zichen looked at each other and at Huang Zhengli at the same time.
When they got on the train, Guo Xiang noticed that Huang Zhengli was holding a bag in his hand. The bag was bulging, and it was probably full of money.
They had to bring a large amount of money with them to do the jade business in southern Yunnan. They didn't have a bank card yet, nor did they have a check. They could only bring cash.
Both of them looked a little solemn. They did not want to be robbed before they started.
Guo Xiang pointed at Huang Zhengli and then pointed at her side, indicating for Yi Zichen to hide the bag on her side.
Firstly, she was a girl. Secondly, her seat was close to the side, so it was more hidden. The robbers might not notice.
Yi Zichen nudged Huang Zhengli with his elbow. He was startled and instinctively hugged his bag tightly.
"What's wrong?" Huang Zhengli asked.
Yi Zichen said in a low voice, "there are robbers behind us. Give the bag to Guo Xiang."
Huang Zhengli turned his head and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He handed the bag over.
Guo Xiang took the bag and quickly hid it under the seat. She stuffed it into the corner and held her canvas bag in her hand.
The three of them continued to pretend to be asleep.
After a while, two robbers walked over.
When the two of them saw Yi Zichen and the other two dressed up, their faces lit up with joy. They looked like rich people.
The bearded man touched Huang Zhengli's body first.
Huang Zhengli grabbed his hand and shouted sternly, "What are you doing?"
"Hand over the money!" The bearded man's dagger went towards Huang Zhengli's body.
Huang Zhengli kicked the bearded man away and the two of them started fighting.
The other robber saw the bag in Guo Xiang's hand and his eyes lit up. There must be a lot of money.
He reached out to grab the bag.
Guo Xiang opened her eyes and hugged the bag tightly. She shouted, "what are you doing?"
"Give me the bag!" The skinny man grabbed for bag and wanted to snatch it.
Guo Xiang shouted, "They're robbing us! Somebody, help!"
"Shut up!" The robber was shocked. After robbing so many people, no one dared to shout. He did not expect a girl to be so bold.
He hurriedly reached out his palm and covered Guo Xiang's mouth.
Seeing this, Yi Zichen picked up the thermos flask on the table and smashed it on the robber's head.
With a crack, the thermos flask broke. The robber's head shook, and a stream of blood flowed out.
Many passengers woke up in shock, "what's going on? What was that noise just now?"
"It sounded like a robbery..." Someone stood up and stretched his neck to look.
"Ah, my money is gone..."
"Mine is gone too..."
Everyone rushed to check their wallets and money, and those who found that the money was gone cried out in alarm.
"Everyone, come quickly! Catch the bad guys..." Guo Xiang continued to scream.
The people who were robbed wanted to go over and help, but when they saw that the robber was holding a knife, they became timid again. They could make more money if the money was gone, but they only had one life.
"Quick, call the police! Go and find the conductor!" Guo Xiang shouted. She knew that many people were ordinary people who did not know martial arts. It was normal for them to be timid and afraid of things. She did not expect them to help, but calling the police was still possible.
"You are asking for death!"
The robber who had his head broken was furious. He reached out his hand and slapped Guo Xiang's face. It was all this woman's fault for ruining their good deed.
Guo Xiang blocked with her left hand and grabbed the robber's arm with her right. She twisted his arm hard and twisted it behind his back. She pressed the robber's head on the table and sneered, "do you think I am easy to bully?"
On the other side, Huang Zhengli and the bearded man were also locked in a fight. Huang Zhengli's skills were not bad. The bearded man did not have the upper hand at all, so he became a little anxious.
When he saw that the other person was restrained and the woman was shouting, he knew that it was not good. He would not be able to escape once the police arrived.
He shouted, "Third Brother, stop fighting. We have to go!"
Ignoring Huang Zhengli, he let go of his hand and turned around to run.
"You still want to run?" Huang Zhengli picked up a bag that was placed by another person's feet and threw it at the bearded man's back.
The bearded man fell to the ground, but he did not even turn his head. He got up and kept running.
The robber who was restrained panicked and shouted, "Big Brother, wait for me!"
After saying that, he kicked his leg back and Guo Xiang dodged. She loosened her grip and the man stood up. He raised his fist and punched back.
Guo Xiang leaned back and dodged, but Yi Zichen did not have time to react. His fist hit his face, and blood oozed out of the corner of his mouth.
The robber took the opportunity to escape.
"Stop them!" Guo Xiang shouted.
The passengers in front didn't dare to stop them. They hid when they saw the fierce robbers.
The train happened to be stopping at a small station. Taking their chance, the robbers jumped off the train and ran.
When the conductor and the police arrived, the robbers had already disappeared.
When the passengers saw the police officers, they crowded around and started talking.
The people who had their money stolen also came to report the case.
The car was noisy for a moment.
The police officers had no choice but to take notes as they dealt with the situation.
However, the robbers had run away. No matter how many records they keep, it was very unlikely that they would get their money back.
Guo Xiang heaved a sigh of relief. She took out the bag from under the seat and handed it to Yi Zichen. He shook his head and said, "I'll leave it with you. It's safer that way!"
Guo Xiang nodded and leaned the bag against her leg. Her leg was more sensitive and if someone were to move the bag, she would be able to feel it straight away.
Huang Zhengli told the police about the situation and turned around. He was surprised to see Yi Zichen's state. "Are you hurt?"
Yi Zichen touched the corner of his mouth. "I'm fine. It's just a minor injury."
"I have medicine here!" Guo Xiang said quickly.
Then, she took the medicine out of her bag.
Huang Zhengli was surprised. "Why did you bring medicine with you?"
"I'm out. It's better to be prepared," Guo Xiang smiled.
The truth was, it was a habit that she had developed in her previous life. She would bring some medicine with her wherever she went. Sometimes, she would bring a simple surgical bag, but she did not have the condition now.
Guo Xiang took out a cotton swab and dipped it in alcohol. Then, she cleaned Yi Zichen's wound.
Yi Zichen sat on the chair. Guo Xiang bent down and lowered her head. From this angle, he could see Guo Xiang's well-defined lips. They were suffused with a faint pink luster. She looked so seductive that Yi Zichen's heart started pounding.
When the alcohol touched the wound, Yi Zichen gasped due to the sting.
"I'm sorry..." Guo Xiang said quickly, "the alcohol can sting a little. It will get better soon."
"It's okay!" Yi Zichen immediately shook his head.
