Chapter 281: “you Hurt My Arm, Time To Pay”
Lin Zhao’s fist hardened.
In the original book, the one who stole Qian Bao, and nearly abducted him this lifetime.
No coincidences without enemies converging.
This account must be settled.
Sister Xia noticed the gaze falling on her and looked over, meeting a pair of extremely beautiful starry eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, revealing a kind smile, as simple and honest as could be.
Wrong place, otherwise…
Sister Xia felt regret in her heart.
Lin Zhao saw that smile of hers and felt a chill.
Disgusting.
The most vicious and ruthless person, pretending to be an honest one.
She paid attention to Sister Xia’s surroundings and discovered there seemed to be a girl on the inner side of her seat. Strangely, that girl wasn’t moving at all.
It didn’t look like she was asleep either.
How uncomfortable hard seats are, anyone who has sat on them knows. After sitting for a long time, the shoulders, waist, and buttocks would ache unbearably, requiring constant adjustments of posture.
But that slender figure hadn’t moved for half a day—wasn’t she passed out?
Lin Zhao pretended not to notice anything and left through the crowd.
After leaving the carriage, she found a way to locate the train police.
“Comrade, there are human traffickers!”
The train police in green uniform, with red stars on his clothes and hat, changed expression slightly.
“You’re sure?” the young train police with lively eyes blurted out.
He had just started work not long ago, handling trivial matters on the train every day, already weary and tired. Hearing of a major case, he felt anger mixed with some excitement.
Lin Zhao calmly said: “Carriage X, seat X, that person has a mole on her forehead—check and you’ll know.”
The older train police stared at her inquiringly for a few moments, not rushing, and asked: “What evidence do you have? Without proof, we can’t casually investigate the masses.”
“The girl next to her who hasn’t moved for half a day is the evidence.” Lin Zhao was very certain.
From the first glance at that person, her subconscious told her that was the Sister Xia she had always wanted to catch.
Hateful.
If not for the crowd, unable to maneuver freely, she would have gone up herself!
Lin Zhao saw the train police still half-doubting, so she revealed her identity as a soldier’s wife.
“My husband is a soldier, I am a soldier’s wife. I wouldn’t joke with you about this. That person is most likely a human trafficker. I have crossed paths with her before—my younger son was nearly abducted by her. Fortunately, we had a dog at home, so it was a close call without harm.”
“If you don’t believe, catch her and interrogate. She definitely knows Diao Tuozi. By the way, Diao Tuozi is also a human trafficker. He was caught last year and is already dead.”
Lin Zhao spoke with conviction, not like lying.
Her identity as a soldier’s wife also added credibility.
The wariness in the two train police’s eyes faded, their gazes toward her tinged with respect and closeness.
Even if the person before them wasn’t a soldier’s wife, they would take reports from the masses seriously. That was their duty!
“Comrade, rest assured. If what you say is true, we will catch her,” the older train police said solemnly.
The younger one also said: “Right! My master is very capable. No criminal can escape from under his nose. We will catch her.”
His master heard his disciple bragging, glancing at him disdainfully.
“Get going, stop bragging.”
Your master isn’t that capable.
The young train police caught up, muttering, “What did I brag about? My master is just that capable.”
The master and disciple talked as they headed to the carriage Lin Zhao mentioned.
As mentioned before, Sister Xia’s sixth sense was accurate, especially for sensing danger. Today, after locking eyes with that desired “cargo,” she felt very uneasy in her heart, stronger than ever before.
Not good.
These two words flashed in her mind. Sister Xia looked at the prey beside her, lying like a dead pig, struggle flashing in her eyes.
She hesitated less than half a minute, adjusted a posture for the prey, turning her face toward the car wall, stood up, scanned surroundings inconspicuously, straightened her collar, and while calling to excuse herself, headed toward the toilet.
By the time the two train police arrived, the position mentioned by the reporter was already empty.
The two walked over.
They patted the short-haired girl who seemed asleep.
Once, twice, three times… No matter how they patted or with how much force, the girl lying there had no reaction.
If not for her still being warm and not stiff, the train police would have thought she was dead.
“Master? She’s really passed out?!” the young train police exclaimed.
Surrounding passengers looked over like watching a spectacle.
“Passed out?!”
“What’s the situation? This girl has had no reaction all along—turns out she fainted? The person with her said nothing.”
“Huh, where is that person? Seems like we haven’t seen her for a while.”
Hearing the passengers’ unguarded words, the two train police exchanged a glance.
They really encountered human traffickers!
The reporting comrade didn’t file a false report.
The older train police gave his disciple a look, signaling him to carry the unconscious girl to their resting room and find a doctor to check her, while he continued searching for the person with the mole on her forehead.
After Lin Zhao returned to her carriage, her thoughts stayed on her enemy, unable to settle down.
Yu Bao noticed she had something on her mind, shifted his little buttocks, and leaned shoulder to shoulder with mama.
“Mama, are you unhappy?”
Lin Zhao came back to her senses, smiled, “No, aren’t you hungry? Why not eat?”
Yu Bao: “Mama eat together.”
“Knock knock knock!” Knocking came from outside.
“You two eat first.” Lin Zhao said to her two sons, walked to the door, and pulled open the sliding door.
The young train police she had met before stood at the door.
“Caught her?” Lin Zhao asked.
The young train police shook his head, “By the time we got there, the person you mentioned was no longer at the seat. My master is searching each carriage now, and I’ll go look next. Comrade Lin, rest assured, we will definitely find her!”
The girl he carried to the resting room had been checked by a doctor, who said she was drugged with a sedative, a heavy dose. Without them, she would have slept at least two days and nights.
Inhumane human traffickers!
Strangely, Lin Zhao had this premonition early on.
“Trouble for you, comrade.”
Young train police: “It’s our duty.”
After speaking, he adjusted his hat and turned to leave.
Lin Zhao vaguely felt she and her enemy would cross paths again face-to-face.
She didn’t enter the carriage, standing at the door saying to Sister-in-law Tong: “Sister-in-law Tong, close the door.”
Sister-in-law Tong came over, puzzled, “Why? Aren’t you coming in?”
“Not coming in for now. There are human traffickers on the train.” Fearing she wouldn’t take it seriously, Lin Zhao revealed a bit of news.
Sister-in-law Tong’s expression changed slightly, instantly on alert.
“Ah? Human traffickers?!” Her lowered voice showed slight panic. “What to do? There are several children in our carriage. What if they’re targeted?”
She looked at Lin Zhao’s pretty face like a girl’s, thinking in passing that a clear-eyed, delicate girl like Comrade Lin was also a human trafficker’s target.
Dangerous.
Too dangerous!
Sister-in-law Tong grabbed Lin Zhao’s wrist, trying to pull her into the carriage.
“Comrade Lin, come in quick. We’ll lock the door and block it with luggage. If the human trafficker dares come in, I’ll smash him!!” Her tone fierce.
Lin Zhao twisted her arm, easily shaking off Sister-in-law Tong’s hand.
“You all hide well. I’ll guard the door.”
Seeing disapproval on Sister-in-law Tong’s face, about to persuade again, she added: “I know some martial arts, and have strength. I need to help the train police.”
Otherwise, when to avenge her Qian Bao.
That Sister Xia was slippery as a mud eel. Missing this chance, who knows if they’d meet again.
“Sister-in-law Tong, lock the door tight. As you just said, pile luggage at the door, have the children lie on the upper berths.”
Sister-in-law Tong saw Lin Zhao was resolute and didn’t persuade further.
“Alright, I’ll watch the children. You be careful.” she said.
Before closing the door, she added: “Think more of your two children. Don’t rush into danger. Hide when you should. We’re enthusiastic citizens—helping is fine, but don’t get hurt.”
Lin Zhao’s eyes warmed, “I know.”
Sister-in-law Tong sighed, closed the sliding door, then piled luggage at the door.
Seeing this, Yu Bao and Heng Bao stopped eating, rushed to the door, stopping Sister-in-law Tong’s actions.
“Can’t close the door. My mama hasn’t come in yet.” Yu Bao frowned his little brows.
Just as Sister-in-law Tong didn’t know how to respond, Lin Zhao’s voice came from outside.
“Yu Bao, Heng Bao, you two hurry and eat. After eating, sleep on the upper berths. I’ll come in later.”
Heng Bao quickly said: “Why?”
“Adults’ matters—children shouldn’t meddle. Go eat.” Lin Zhao’s tone serious.
The carriage fell silent.
Moments later, Yu Bao licked his lips, tentatively: “Mama, are you… bored? Can I come out and keep you company?”
As he spoke, he uneasily picked at his hands.
Sister-in-law Tong didn’t speak; she hoped Comrade Lin would be persuaded by the two children to come in—confronting human traffickers sounded dangerous just thinking about it.
“Yu Bao, be good. I’ll come in soon. You and your brother behave, don’t worry me.” Lin Zhao softened her voice.
Yu Bao obeyed mama most, immediately saying: “Okay, then Mama you must come in early.”
“Got it.” The instant Lin Zhao’s words fell, she glanced up and spotted the disguised Sister Xia.
Her eyes darkened.
“Stay put obediently, don’t come out.”
Leaving this, Lin Zhao silently walked toward the target.
As she brushed past her enemy, she sidestepped, extending her leg to kick Sister Xia.
Sister Xia, doing deadly deeds without being caught, naturally had some skills.
Feeling the wind, she instinctively dodged.
Just dodged this strike, another came head-on.
Lin Zhao’s fist struck Sister Xia’s face squarely.
Sister Xia felt pain, nose stinging as if tears would flow.
Before she could react, her right leg was kicked. With a thud, Sister Xia’s knees hit the ground, kneeling down.
Lin Zhao showed no mercy, grabbed her enemy’s hair and yanked up, punching her head twice.
Sister Xia was beaten dizzy and blurry-eyed, unable to muster strength.
She struggled to look up at the person beating her without a word, wondering when she had offended such a person.
“…You, who are you? I-I’m going to report to the police.” Sister Xia curled on the ground, hugging her head, asking with difficulty.
“Who am I?” Lin Zhao sneered coldly, bending slightly, throwing a heavy punch at her enemy’s belly. “Do you still remember Diao Tuozi?”
Sister Xia’s eyes flickered a few times.
Those dragon-phoenix twins from Fengshou Brigade?
She remembered all too well.
That time, luckily she withdrew fast, or she would have been inside eating a year’s prison rice!
Only after leaving did Sister Xia learn the armed forces department mobilized, with public security searching everywhere, seemingly for her.
So that’s where it stemmed from.
“What Diao Tuozi? Never heard of him.” Sister Xia’s voice pained. “You’ve got the wrong person…”
Lin Zhao’s one-sided beating made quite a noise, drawing passengers who unconsciously gathered.
Seeing the beaten person so miserable, some stepped forward to pull apart.
“Why start fighting out of nowhere? What happened?”
“Yeah, yeah. Look, you’ve beaten her so she can’t get up. Looks young, but hands are ruthless.”
“Comrade, talk it out. Don’t hit. Train police will be here soon.”
Sister Xia wasn’t clean herself, quite wary of dealing with public security or train police. While Lin Zhao was entangled, she planned her escape route.
Yes, she planned to jump off the train at an opportunity. Didn’t expect bad luck, running into a deranged person who attacked without regard.
Lin Zhao shoved away the well-meaning passengers pulling her, attention fixed on her enemy.
Expressionless, she kicked the person on the ground. “This is a human trafficker, also my enemy. Everyone stay back—I don’t want to injure by mistake.”
Hearing this, the mediators exploded.
“What? This is a human trafficker?” An aunt widened her eyes, looking at Lin Zhao: “Girl, is what you say true? She really is a human trafficker?!”
She half-squatted, looking the wretched person up and down, left and right, concluding: “Doesn’t look like it.”
“…” Lin Zhao was speechless.
She patiently explained: “Human traffickers won’t have ‘human trafficker’ written on their faces.”
“She is.” Her tone very firm.
“Whether she is or not, wait for train police to take her back and check.” Lin Zhao looked down at her enemy, foot on her hand pressing harder, eyes full of satisfaction.
Human traffickers who control others’ fates also have this day.
Let you taste the feeling of others as the knife and chopping block, me as the fish and meat!
“True.” The aunt nodded.
Unclear who was right or wrong, the onlookers didn’t know which side to help, so no one acted.
Not long after.
From the connected carriage came a shout.
“Make way, train police are here—”
Hearing this, everyone looked over.
Now.
Sister Xia, who had been gathering strength for a long time, suddenly rose, drew a small spring knife, slashed heavily at Lin Zhao’s arm, and in the gap of her retreat, dashed toward the nearby car window.
She was actually jumping out the window.
“Ah—she’s jumping out the window!”
“She has a knife, and injured someone. She really is a human trafficker!”
“Quick, catch the human trafficker!!”
The onlookers surged forward.
Lin Zhao reacted fastest, ignoring her arm gushing blood, rushing over in three steps turned half, grabbing Sister Xia who had half her body out the car window.
Yanking her hair, she dragged the person back in.
“Bang!” Lin Zhao closed the car window.
Damn, luckily the car window was closed—it took her a few seconds to open it, otherwise… she feared she’d see her enemy’s smug smile through the car window.
Thinking of it infuriated her.
Lin Zhao didn’t dare slack, pretending to take from her pocket but actually from the storage ring, pulling out a good thing, stuffing it into her enemy’s mouth under the guise of slapping.
“Slap slap!”
“Still daring to run!” Lin Zhao slapped twice.
“Cough cough…” Sister Xia felt something slide down her throat, tried to cough it out—no use.
She glared venomously at Lin Zhao. “What did you feed me?”
The renowned Sister Xia suffering such humiliation—if she escaped smoothly, this person’s whole family wouldn’t have it good!
Lin Zhao ignored her, using her uninjured hand to grab her enemy’s arm, suddenly wrenching it back hard.
Crack—the arm broke, dangling limply.
“Ah!!” Sister Xia clearly didn’t expect Lin Zhao to do this suddenly, screaming in pain, sweat nearly beading.
Lin Zhao coldly curled her lip.
You injured my arm—payback.
As Sister Xia screamed, the train police finally arrived late.
“We’re here. Where is the human trafficker?” The young train police wiped sweat from his forehead, squeezing through.
Seeing Lin Zhao, he stammered: “C-Comrade Lin, why are you here?”
The older train police spotted the blood on Lin Zhao’s arm at a glance. “You’re injured…”
His gaze shifted right—the bloodied spring knife lay on the ground.
“Take Comrade Lin to bandage!” The older train police ordered his disciple.
He himself took out iron handcuffs, cuffing the criminal’s hands.
He applied heavy force, ignoring Sister Xia’s injuries.
Hurting a soldier’s wife—aggravated crime!
