Chapter 3761: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
Editor: Henyee Translations
Two other pa.s.sengers heard their conversation and rushed out of their seats excitedly. They surrounded Ye Jian and talked to her anxiously.
“Soldier, I lost my money too. That’s my yearly salary. I was supposed to use this money to repay my debts and provide for my three children’s schooling fees. Soldier, please do me a favor and help me retrieve it. I’ll kneel down and kowtow to you.”
This man who was responsible for his family’s livelihood and who had never cried or knelt before now went down on his knees in front of Ye Jian. Fortunately, the old man let go of Ye Jian’s hand so that she could stop him from kowtowing.
The other pa.s.senger was a young lady. She was a cafeteria attendant and didn’t earn much money. Her family was far away, so she didn’t mail money back. She brought her entire year’s worth of savings with her. She wanted to take it back and use it to fix her house’s leaking roof. In the end, her money was stolen too.
She was the first one who screamed in panic.
When she saw the man kneeling down and crying until he couldn’t catch his breath, she hurriedly knelt down too. “Soldier, my money was stolen too. I had 4,000 yuan. That’s the money I managed to save up after working for a year. I need to use it to fix my house’s roof. My parents are waiting for me to go home. Please help me find it. Please…”
Ye Jian stopped one person, but she wasn’t able to stop the other. Fortunately, the pa.s.sengers beside her reacted quickly. They held the young lady and said, “Let’s not waste time. Otherwise, the pickpockets will run away.”
They had already lost two minutes!
“Sit here and wait for my news.” The two of them were helped up by the pa.s.sengers beside them. Ye Jian’s nose was so stuffy that even her voice had changed. She immediately got up and gave a short reminder before walking toward the front carriage.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. With the soldier from the People’s Liberation Army around, you’ll definitely be able to get your money back. She’s a powerful soldier. She wasn’t afraid of four people with daggers in their hands. She even knocked them down with a few hits. Don’t worry, she’ll definitely be able to get your money back.”
The pa.s.sengers who weren’t robbed got emboldened by Ye Jian’s actions and started discussing among themselves. As for the four pickpockets who couldn’t get up, no one dared to approach them. They only glanced at them from time to time. Even the seats near them were empty. The pa.s.sengers didn’t dare to sit there.
Ye Jian sent a message to Yu Rong. After receiving the message, Yu Rong and three students rushed over from the back. The appearance of the four of them made the pa.s.sengers in the carriage heave a sigh of relief.
This was good. The four pickpockets couldn’t escape now!
“Soldiers, there are only four of them. Hurry up and arrest them! They were knocked down by a female soldier. Hurry up and arrest them and send them to the police station!”
“Three people were robbed. This old man was going to use his money to treat his son, but it was stolen by these inhumane robbers.”
“Those who harm people should be shot! They shouldn’t be allowed to step into society and harm people!”
“That’s right. They even stole the money that’s meant to save a life. They even stole an old man’s money. They’ve lost their conscience! Even dogs are better than them!”
Yu Rong and the other three people used their belts to tie the hands of the pickpockets in front of them. The other two pickpockets who had their arms dislocated couldn’t be tied up, so they were only bound on their good arms.
What was ironic was that the two people who had their arms dislocated had an arrogant look on their faces just now. But when they saw Yu Rong and the rest, they still had the cheek to ask for help. “Soldiers, our arms are broken. Can you send us to the hospital now? It hurts, it really hurts…”
