Chapter 255: Robbery On The Train (5)
The middle-aged man shivered when he heard the noises. He stuffed the cellular phone in Principal Chen’s hand. “Brother, you can do it.”
The train continued moving. On this rainy night, the policemen from Yu An Police Station drove a fleet of police cars out of the station. Everyone was armed with guns. They rushed towards the direction of the train station.
They received a call. A bunch of more than 10 robbers brought illegal weapons onto train no. 6483, carriage no. 9. They were planning to rob all the people in this carriage.
The police didn’t alert the workers on the train. The person who called the police clearly said that there were no guards on the carriage at all. They couldn’t deny that there might be someone within the workers collaborating with the robbers.
Hence, they only informed the train conductor and asked him to slow down when the police reached.
Principal Chen tilted his body slightly after he called the police. He looked at the robbers who were searching through the berths one by one. He signaled to Ye Jian.
“No, I’m the most suitable person.” Ye Jian rejected him the moment she understood what he meant. “You are an adult. I’m a child. It’s better for me to go. I’ve got a defense weapon. I can protect myself. Also, I have my own considerations. My uncle…”
She had been revealing too much about herself for the past few days. It’s time for her to pretend to be rash and stupid.
Ye Zhifan had his eyes on her. Every time she ended her lessons, someone would be following her back to the recruit camp. Luckily, there were guards at the recruit camp. If not, the person might have followed her all the way in.
She needed to do something to let Ye Zhifan put down his guard against her. She didn’t have the ability to overthrow Ye Zhifan now but he could play some small tricks on her.
When Ye Jian mentioned her uncle, Principal Chen knew what she meant.
Ye Jian had the ability to protect herself. He knew this. Thus, he passed his briefcase to her. “You need a reason. This will be your reason.”
The middle-aged couple’s expression turned complicated. They seemed worried and hesitant.
“Girl, you… be careful.” The middle-aged woman felt uneasy when she saw a little girl like Ye Jian volunteering to drag the time for them.
Ye Jian was surprised. She lowered her voice and teased the woman, “Auntie, your change makes me feel uncomfortable. You should be happy that I volunteered to give money to the robbers so that we can waste some time.”
The middle-aged woman was a selfish person. However, she knew what decision would benefit her the most.
Ye Jian exposed her selfishness and made the woman even more uncomfortable. But she still said, “Try… to drag them longer.”
The young man saw Ye Jian walking towards the robbers and got worried. He raised his voice a little, “Be careful.”
“Don’t worry. They just want money. They will not kill anyone. There is a boss sitting there. They hit people so that they can instill fear in the passengers. If they kill anyone, they won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
This was why she dared to step up.
A student was of no threat to the robbers.
Before she went out, the robbers started slapping someone again. “Damn it, where did you hide your money? Are you not going to cooperate with us? I will beat you to death!”
