Chapter 3756: You’re A Soldier, After All
Editor: Henyee Translations
In her past life, Ye Jian had sat on countless trains and encountered similar situations before. At 2:00 am, she became very sleepy. Since she was so sleepy, it was the best time for her to move around.
Whenever the train stopped, that would be the best time for the pickpockets who were waiting for an opportunity to rob the train. Usually, they wouldn’t act alone. Instead, they would act in a group. There would be at least seven people and at most 20 people. Once they succeeded, they would immediately jump off the train and leave. This would definitely make it difficult for the police on the train. As long as they jumped off the train, the possibility of recovering the stolen a.s.sets was zero.
Ye Jian’s mind was clear. She felt a little uncomfortable with her stuffy nose. When she heard a sound outside, she held the small tea table with one hand and said to Yu Rong, “I’m going over there to take a look. The few of you, keep an eye on things here and pay attention to any movement. I’ll leave this place to you.”
Although they were from the military school, in the eyes of the pa.s.sengers in this carriage, they were soldiers who could ensure a peaceful rest for everyone here. This was a test for them.
Yu Rong heard the commotion too. How could he be at ease when he saw Ye Jian going over alone? “Get two more people to go with you. I’ll be worried if you go alone.”
He had sat on a train before. Although he had never seen anything like what happened today, he had heard about such things.
There were many train pickpockets on the route to Nanguang. In the 1990s, they were especially rampant. It wasn’t until recently that the situation improved. The pickpockets weren’t as brazen as before.
They didn’t do it blatantly, but they did it secretly.
Ye Jian, who walked past Ding Ling, shook her head slightly. “No need. I’ll go over and take a look. You and the rest can keep an eye on things here. If you encounter anything, don’t have any conflicts with them. Just take a walk in the carriage.”
Railway police officers would pa.s.s by the carriages from time to time. However, not every carriage was guarded by police officers. They only pa.s.sed through the carriages one by one. It was inevitable that they wouldn’t be able to take care of all the pa.s.sengers. Those pickpockets would take advantage of this gap to make a move. From the moment they succeeded to the moment they made their escape, it was only a few seconds.
Although Yu Rong was also a third-year student, he wasn’t in the same cla.s.s as Ye Jian. If he wasn’t sent to the company this time, they wouldn’t have interacted much. His understanding of Ye Jian was limited to what he had heard. Since she was insisting now, he couldn’t stop her. He just said, “Be careful.” With that, Ye Jian left.
Just in case, Ye Jian woke the other two male students up and had them watch over the situation with Yu Rong.
When they heard that pickpockets might appear, the two male students who woke up instantly lost their sleepiness. After Ye Jian left, the three of them discussed and decided to wake everyone up.
“Ye Jian has gone to the front. The few of us will walk around the carriages at the back. Yu Ling, you, Yu Rong, and the rest stay where you are.”
“Okay, be careful. If anything happens, observe carefully. Don’t attack immediately. These people are in groups. Don’t split up if possible.”
“That’s the plan.”
The 20 students conversed in low voices before heading to the carriages at the back.
Ye Jian walked past the aisle of the carriage in front. She didn’t say anything. She just looked at the two young men who were wearing black leather jackets and chewing bubble gum at the entrance of the toilet.
She looked at the two of them, and the two of them looked at her too. When they saw Ye Jian walking toward them, the hostility in their eyes became stronger.
As she approached, the two of them turned sideways and blocked Ye Jian’s path.
“You can’t go to the front. Go back to where you came from. Mind your own business and be sensible. You’re a soldier, after all.” The tall young man with a sinister gaze opened his mouth.
