Chapter 442: Chapter 21: Little He Is Interested in People_2
...
They are seasoned pros in this business.
The children were covered with old clothes, with only a small part of their faces showing. Plus, with the old lady looking like a doting grandmother, no one would suspect them.
The train was slowing down.
The farmland and buildings near the station could be seen along the way.
But the thin, dark young man was experienced; he knew the train would take a long time to pull into the station, and with so many people packed together, it would also take a while to disembark.
He still sat calmly in his seat, looking at Chu River, who was standing steadily in the aisle, feeling grateful once again:
"Miss, thank you so much. When we get off, could you please give my mom a hand? Otherwise, with so many people, I’m afraid she might not be able to manage with the two kids."
They had worked together many times. The thin, dark young man knew right away that the old lady wanted to take this girl along too.
Honestly, he wasn’t interested in this type, but since they were already here, taking one more wouldn’t hurt.
He played along quite well.
Chu River didn’t act stubborn like before; instead, she appeared unusually enthusiastic.
"Don’t worry!"
...
The middle-aged man who had been pinched out of his seat earlier still had a bruise under his nose and grunted heavily.
—He wondered why the thin young man was offered a seat voluntarily, while he got pinched out.
Chu River just smiled at him: "Sir, why don’t you sit down later and rest for a while? And help me watch my luggage, too."
The middle-aged man, his thick eyebrows raised: "Why should I?"
Chu River laughed, staring him down: "Why do you think?"
He obediently gave in immediately, alright, it’s just because the girl’s got some guts.
He was about to say something when Chu River suddenly turned her head, looking at someone struggling from the other side of the aisle.
Oh, isn’t that Zhao Weihong?
What? She wants to marry Shi Suifeng so much that she’s even taking the train to follow him?
However, upon a closer look, Chu River noticed a middle-aged man trailing not too far behind Zhao Weihong.
The man had an ordinary appearance, nothing distinct about him at all, blending into the crowd, making him hard to remember.
But at this moment, the distance between him and Zhao Weihong was very subtle, and despite the various obstacles in the carriage, his professionalism wasn’t hindered.
Chu River roughly understood.
This was probably Shi Suifeng’s arrangement after returning to the army.
She wasn’t interested in Zhao Weihong, watching the dim lights light up outside the train stop. The speed had slowed down once more, and outside the window was packed tightly with people...
And as the crowd in front slowly moved, the thin, dark young man finally stood up with the old lady.
...
The two little boys, a few years old, were indeed quite heavy, and the old lady also had a bag of luggage. She wasn’t completely careless; she didn’t immediately hand the children to Chu River but first gave her the luggage.
Chu River didn’t mind, grabbed the luggage, and strode forward.
Her strength was great, clearing the way in front, with the thin, dark young man carrying a little girl, and the old lady following behind, moving much more smoothly than before.
The three of them were already forming a queue at the train door.
The thin, dark young man came over: "Sis, there’s too many people, could you do us a favor and help my mom take the kids off the train? The attendants are standing there, they definitely won’t stop you from getting back on. You have your ticket in your pocket, right?"
What a natural suggestion.
Chu River didn’t refuse, smiling as she reached out her hand.
She was the shortest, but with nothing else in her hand except that bag. Reaching out in such a crowd, nobody suspected a thing.
But she moved like lightning, immediately grabbing both by the neck, and with a firm press, their bodies went limp.
Suddenly, the three children in their arms began to fall.
But Chu River caught them swiftly and handed them to the attendant who was ready to step forward:
"Catch the traffickers."
The attendant hadn’t reacted yet, suddenly finding two children thrust into his arms. All three of his colleagues inside and outside the door were watching him, making him feel a surge of heroism.
"What traffickers?"
Chu River was watching closely, not worried that the attendant was a co-conspirator. She grabbed the two who hadn’t completely fallen in the mêlée:
"These two, with three kids, you better broadcast and ask if someone’s missing children."
...
But the reason Chu River waited until now to subdue the two wasn’t that she wanted to use the opportunity to get off the train, but because...
She was sure there were accomplices outside.
As she spoke, she kept her eyes on the bustling crowd outside, quickly locking onto a middle-aged man among them!
