Chapter 137: Chapter 128: The Girl and the ThiefSoon after, passengers began to fill the seats one after another. The train became quite crowded with people everywhere. Then, very quickly, the train left the platform and headed towards Shencheng City. The journey between Wancheng and Shencheng City was four hours. The long trip was exhausting. Initially, Miss Zhou chatted excitedly with Lin Mu, but after a while, she started to feel tired. Beautiful women generally have limited energy; the prettier they are, the easier they get sleepy. Miss Zhou, being the epitome of beauty, soon closed her eyes and leaned on Lin Mu’s shoulder, falling asleep without realizing it. Lin Mu, too, felt a bit bored, staring idly at the rowdy male and female passengers inside the carriage. Unintentionally, Lin Mu focused his attention on a bald man with shifty eyes. With the sensitivity cultivated from his years in special forces, he could guess that this man was a thief mingling in the underworld, a habitual pickpocket. His eyes were extremely dishonest, sneaking looks around, frequently eyeing the other passengers’ bags. Soon, the bald man with thief-like demeanor locked onto the target—a plump mature woman carrying an exquisite LV handbag. Women carrying LV usually have thousands in their bags, otherwise, they don’t do justice to the luxury brand! So, thieves in the underworld understand this well! Like other women who easily fall asleep on trains, the plump mature woman got tired quickly and leaned back on her seat to sleep, unaware of the pair of malicious eyes glaring greenish light behind her. The bald man seized the opportunity, swiftly extending his hand into the plump mature woman’s bag, skillfully extracting a green wallet, then quickly withdrawing. He casually pocketed it. The entire process took less than three seconds, showing he was a seasoned pro, executing the act smoothly without any hesitation! As a five-good-youth of the new era, although Lin Mu felt a bit sleepy, he still wanted to teach that bald thief a lesson and help the plump mature woman get her wallet back. However, before Lin Mu could get up, a girl in her twenties suddenly stood up in front of him. This girl was extremely pretty, wearing a pale yellow jacket, black skinny pants, and youthful Wabow shoes, exuding a natural vitality and energy! Looking at this girl, Lin Mu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, frowning and thinking for a while, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn’t quite recall it. While Lin Mu was pondering the girl’s identity, the two people in front of him had already confronted each other! The youthful girl straightforwardly questioned the pickpocketing bald man, "Hey, I saw you, give her the wallet back." Pointing at the still-sleeping middle-aged woman, the girl had a touch of composure and calmness on her face, "Return the money to her, and I’ll pretend I didn’t see it, I won’t tell her!" Standing up for justice in front of a man obviously stronger than herself, calmly and cleverly handling the situation, made Lin Mu appreciate her a bit more. Meanwhile, Lin Mu resolved that if the girl got into trouble, he would step forward to help her! For no other reason, as a grown man, Lin Mu felt it was his duty, even though most people around assumed an aloof attitude. But the bald man, being an experienced professional, remained calm. Even when exposed by the girl, he pretended to look out of the window, completely ignoring the girl who was upholding justice in front of him! "Hey, I’m talking to you, don’t you understand? Hurry up and take out the wallet!" The girl was getting angry, pushing the shifty-eyed man furiously. The bald man, furious, scowled menacingly at the girl and said harshly, "You little brat, why are you yelling! What did you see? Who took whose wallet?" "It’s you!" the girl insisted resolutely, because she saw the entire scene clearly earlier, and with her sense of justice burning, she was indignant, "I saw it with my own eyes, don’t think you can deny it. You stole the big sister’s wallet and then hid it on yourself!" Though cunning, the bald man was at a bit of a loss. Although bluffing, his aura was not as strong as the girl’s. So he pointed at her threateningly, "You, you’re making baseless accusations, I think you’re the thief!" "You’re really thick-skinned, already caught red-handed yet you still don’t admit to stealing!" The girl cursed angrily, then reached out to shake the still-sleeping plump mature woman, "Big sister, wake up, your wallet was stolen." The plump mature woman woke up groggily, looking at the girl, unaware of what happened and not knowing that her wallet had been stolen. "Miss, what’s the matter?" Following the girl’s pointed finger, the plump mature woman glanced suspiciously at her LV handbag, questioning in confusion, "My bag... what about it?" "Big sister, it’s this person. I just saw him steal your wallet. If you don’t believe me, take a look." The girl stated firmly. "Oh no, my bag?" The plump mature woman exclaimed in surprise, then quickly grabbed her bag and searched through it, "Oh dear, really, my wallet has been stolen!" With the commotion caused by the plump mature woman, other passengers started gathering around, focusing their attention on her but most were indifferent, reluctant to stand up and uphold justice like the girl! "Young lady, who stole my wallet?" the plump mature woman asked, looking at the girl. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It’s him!" The girl pointed her finger at the bald pickpocket. "Damn, little girl, are your eyes working? Don’t wrongly accuse this decent man, everyone’s eyes are bright, ask them, who saw me steal her wallet?" The bald man, skilled in dealing with such situations, maintained a composed face despite being accused, and boldly threatened the girl. "Indeed, I was sitting next to her, why didn’t I see him stealing anything?" The speaker was another shifty-eyed bald man, clearly in cahoots with the first! Moreover, there should be more accomplices around them. On the train, thieves generally operate in groups, increasing their success rate and providing backup for a quick escape. The girl persisted, "I saw it with my own eyes, he took a blue-green wallet from your bag and stuffed it into himself!" Hearing this, the plump mature woman confirmed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, my wallet is indeed blue-green..."
