Chapter 308

Ji Wanmei stared blankly at the 'curtain' that suddenly appeared in front of her.

Then, she smiled silently and replied from inside, "Then I'll rest now, you should rest early too."

Ji Wanmei unfolded her shawl and spread it on the berth like a small blanket before lying down.

Knowing that the Thunder Army was protecting her below, she felt particularly at ease and safe.

When the train passes over the tracks, it makes a clanging sound, and in the night, the scenery outside the window flashes by like light.

The bright moonlight illuminated the green train traveling along the mountain tracks.

The cassette radio had run out of power, so Ji Wanmei could no longer listen to music. Lying in the narrow bunk separated by a small blanket, she fell asleep in no time.

At first, she didn't sleep very well and would remind herself from time to time to get up and relieve Lei Tingjun around midnight.

But the swaying rhythm on the train was too steady. Ji Wanmei's eyelids twitched a few times, but she finally fell asleep.

The newly boarded passengers were also quite quiet and well-behaved. They read the newspaper in their berths for a while, then closed their eyes and went to sleep.

Only Lei Tingjun in the lower bunk and the passenger opposite him who was reading an original English book were still awake.

Lei Tingjun sat cross-legged like a stone Buddha statue, occasionally closing his eyes for a moment, his eyes half-closed.

The middle-aged passenger across from me was reading a book until about ten o'clock. He went out to wash his face and came back, taking off his glasses and getting ready to rest.

At night, the lights in the sleeper berths are dimmed, especially in the outer aisle.

A short while later, the male passenger in the upper bunk opposite Lei Tingjun began to snore.

Lei Tingjun frowned, opened his eyes, and glanced at the scene.

He tapped the passenger's bed railing with a metal spoon, and the man turned over and stopped snoring.

The entire carriage fell silent. Lei Tingjun sat back down and closed his eyes.

It was late at night.

The night passed peacefully and nothing happened.

Lei Tingjun also began to feel sleepy. He stopped meditating and lay down, but he only closed his eyes to rest and slept very lightly.

Outside the sleeper car is the transition area for car number six.

At this time, the train staff were also sleeping on the table. There was nothing to do in the second half of the night, so the train staff also needed to rest.

A shifty-eyed figure darted past, attracting almost no attention.

The dark figure moved through the aisle of the sleeper car, looking around for a place to strike.

Passengers staying in sleeper berths know that pickpockets are likely to come at night, so they usually keep a close eye on their personal belongings.

People who carry bags usually just stuff them under their heads as pillows to sleep.

The shadowy figure was outside looking for a bag worth stealing.

As I walked through one sleeper caravan after another, I didn't see anyone hanging their bags outside.

These days, people are very cautious when traveling long distances. Some even sleep with their bags in their arms, waking up at the slightest disturbance.

Pickpockets are more likely to make a move when they encounter this kind of situation.

The fact that someone is protecting their bag like this means there must be something valuable inside.

It was only 1990, and smart technology was not yet widespread; paper money and cash were used everywhere.

Those pickpockets are very experienced. With a little utility knife about the size of a pinky finger, they can quickly slice the bottom of a bag and take out the contents.

That's why they're called pickpockets.

The pickpocket went to several workshops but couldn't find a suitable target.

Finally, the shadowy figure arrived at Lei Tingjun's carriage and heard loud snoring.

The dark figure cautiously peered inside through the passageway.

On the left, in the corner of the upper bunk, hangs a sheepskin handbag that looks quite expensive.

The pickpocket immediately took a liking to the bag.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the two passengers opposite me were fast asleep, and the snoring was coming from their direction.

The pickpocket turned around, carefully looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to him.

The shadowy figure quietly reached out and pulled out a utility knife hidden in his sleeve, then stealthily moved it toward the handbag inside.

Just as the blade was about to reach the handbag, the train passed through a tunnel. The reflective warning lights in the tunnel shone on the blade, causing it to glide past Lei Tingjun.

The pickpocket couldn't contain his excitement, thinking that he would definitely be able to get the same stuff as before on this job.

Before he could even feel smug, a giant-like figure suddenly leaped up in front of him and swung it at him.

Immediately afterward, a sharp pain shot through his wrist, and the pickpocket groaned as the blade was snatched away.

Lei Tingjun grabbed the pickpocket with a backhand slam, using an over-the-shoulder throw to pin him to the ground, then used his other hand to turn on the light in the sleeper compartment.

Before the pickpocket could even see what was happening, the razor blade in his hand was gone, and he was forcefully slammed to the ground.

All that could be heard was a cold, icy voice from above: "You dare touch my people, my things? You're asking for death, aren't you?"

The pickpocket quickly begged for mercy: "Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"

The commotion startled the middle-aged passenger opposite him. He sat up, looked at the scene in surprise, and asked, "What's going on?"

Lei Tingjun turned around and said calmly and coldly, "Could you please call the train police over? This is a habitual thief who was about to commit a crime, but I caught him red-handed."

The middle-aged passenger reacted quickly. After hearing Lei Tingjun's words, he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, you restrain him first, I'll go right away."

He left immediately after saying that.
