Chapter 3770: Safety

Editor: Henyee Translations

The young woman and the middle-aged man had already finished counting their money. They bowed and thanked the police. Tears of joy flowed down from the corners of their eyes.

“Our money is intact. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much!”

“Good people, you’re all good people…”

Of course, they were good people. Without them, the passengers wouldn’t have been able to get their money back.

In the end, the old man finished counting his small change. There wasn’t much. It was about 120 yuan in total. All the money added up to 3,325 yuan. It was all the savings the old man had.

Applause came from the carriage again. Ye Jian and the rest declined to reveal more information to the passengers who said that they wanted to send letters to praise them. They didn’t say anything and returned to their seats. Ye Jian went with the police to a small single room where the attendants would rest in.

“Soldier, don’t worry. Recently, we’ve been cracking down on thieves and pickpockets. We’re working hard to ensure the safety of the civilians and their assets. After you reach the station, we’ll send people to escort you out of the station and onto the bus. We won’t let their accomplices have the chance to take revenge on you.

“However, you have to be careful in the next few hours. We suspect that the middle-aged man we caught just now is the boss of the pickpockets. There are other pickpockets on the train. These people work in gangs and will take revenge on the person who reports them to the authorities. There are still three and a half hours before we reach the station. Be careful in these three and a half hours and take turns sleeping.

“Of course, we’ll also increase the patrol frequency of the entire train so that the pickpockets who are still on the train won’t have a chance to do anything.”

Ye Jian wasn’t afraid that the pickpockets would take revenge. They wouldn’t be able to find her, and it was impossible for them to find her family. Seeing that the police were afraid that she would be traumatized, she comforted them, “There are 20 of us here. They have a lot of people, but we have more than them. As for revenge, I’m not afraid of that either. As soldiers, our information is confidential. If they can’t find us, it’ll be difficult for them to find our families.”

The police officers, who were comforted by the student from the military school, laughed heartily. “Students from your military school are bold. Normal people won’t dare to stand up for themselves. Even if they see pickpockets, they wouldn’t dare to make a sound. Most ordinary people don’t dare to intervene for fear that they’ll get into trouble. There’s nothing we can do about that. Those pickpockets have knives on them, after all. If they’re really ruthless, the civilians might get hurt.”

The police officers couldn’t help but sigh when they mentioned the incidents on the train. They didn’t want such things to happen either, but… they would always happen.

Passengers who had taken a train before would know that it was not safe to take a train in the middle of the night.

Besides a few familiar people, they would be surrounded by strangers. How could they feel safe?

About ten minutes later, the policeman who still needed to patrol sent Ye Jian back to her seat. When they passed by two other carriages, the passengers were all asleep. They didn’t know what had just happened in the carriages in front.

Most of the passengers in these carriages didn’t know what happened until they got off the train. They thought that the trip had been a safe and smooth one.

Ye Jian returned to her seat and sat down. At this moment, she felt a heavy feeling in her head.

Her comrades had been waiting for her to come back. Before she could say anything, Ding Ling noticed that Ye Jian’s expression was a little ugly. She remembered that Ye Jian’s nose was stuffy, so she reached out her hand to touch Ye Jian’s forehead. Fortunately, she didn’t have a fever.

“Ye Jian, you were tired just now. Have a good rest. We’ll call you when we reach.” Ding Ling finished speaking softly and said to her comrades who still wanted to ask questions, “Let’s sleep for a while. Ye Jian has a cold. Let her have a good rest.”
