The man originally intended to blend in with the group of people getting off the train, but seeing Lin Yuxi, who was clearly dressed better, he had a different idea. He wanted to steal from her again so that once he got his hands on her, she wouldn't be able to find him after he got off the train.

But when he reached in with his iron hook, there was nothing in the pocket.

Damn it, you poor bastard! What bad luck!

He immediately prepared to leave, but the girl's wrist was as strong as steel, and she squeezed it so hard that he almost turned into a grotesque expression.

At this time, Lin's father accompanied the two elderly people as they walked around the carriage, while only Lin Yuxi and Lin's mother were seated.

Lin Yuxi sat on the outside, her eyes were calm, her expression was indifferent, and she did not speak.

"Xi...Xi Xi." Lin's mother had just turned her head to speak to her when she saw the gleaming blade tip and froze. Without thinking, she hugged her tightly, her body trembling. "Xi Xi, switch places with Mommy."

"It's okay, Mom will protect you."

Lin's mother was panicked. In this day and age, there were many desperate criminals and the world was in chaos. Without hesitation, she wanted to protect her daughter behind her. Her daughter had already suffered enough, and she couldn't let her get hurt again.

They made very little noise, and the carriage was in a mess, but Gu Chen, being a soldier, immediately noticed that something was wrong. They were sitting at the back of the carriage, and the man had been leaning against the aisle at the carriage entrance for at least two minutes. There was no one in front of him, but he didn't move forward.

“1…10…15……35……60……”

Xiao Xuejun listened to the numbers he was reciting, completely bewildered. "Wait, bro, why are you reciting this?"

"Get out of the way!" Gu Chen remained vigilant and at a distance, watching a woman hold the girl in her arms, her body trembling with fear.

Sitting in her seat, Lin's mother was sweating profusely, fear coursing through her limbs. "Xixi, switch seats with Mommy."

The train slowly came to a stop, and the man growled in a low voice, "Let go!"

He had already gripped the hilt of the knife with his other hand, threatening Lin Yuxi as if the knife would stab her the next second if she didn't let go.

The arrival announcement rang out overhead, and many people carrying their luggage had already begun to disembark.

Lin Yuxi's gaze was fixed on the man's hand, her voice chillingly cold, "So what if I don't let go?"

The man gripped the knife tightly in his hand, his knuckles bulging. If the girl in front of him made a scene, he wouldn't be able to escape even after getting off the train. He raised the knife, the blade pointing towards Lin's mother, who was holding her from behind.

Gu Chen had already rolled up his shirt to his elbows, revealing his strong and powerful arms. When he was about two meters away from the mother and daughter, he saw the thug slash at them with the tip of his knife.

Seeing the redness in his eyes, Lin Yuxi was already thinking of running away in the chaos, but she didn't expect him to dare to attack her mother. In an instant, she grabbed his wrist with her other hand, her thumb pressing precisely on the indentation at the end of his radius bone, her fingertips clamping the blade and wedging the handle, preventing him from advancing even an inch.

"Ah!" The sound of bones dislocating mixed with his screams rang out in the carriage, and the sharp knife slipped from his hand.

Lin's mother was so frightened that she didn't even realize when she had let go, and sat there blankly.

Lin Yuxi had already stood up, her arms tense. She kicked the man in the groin, flipped his wrist behind his back, and pressed him onto the sofa. The knife handle slid down from the air and landed perfectly between his five fingers.

The man felt a tightness in his chest, especially with the knife gleaming in front of him. The girl's knee was pressing down on his back, forcing him to kneel on the ground. His upper body trembled as he leaned on the seat, unable to struggle at all.

The commotion drew the attention of everyone in the carriage, while those closer to them were terrified and at a loss for what to do.

"There's a knife! There's a knife!"
