With her eyes open, she was faced with a mud-brick house and a strong, rough man. Xia Lan was bewildered.
She discovered she had actually returned to the 1970s, becoming an orphan who had jus...
Xia Lan's words made the flight attendant's eyes sharpen, and she immediately followed the clues Xia Lan provided to the restroom.
Because the Sultan had gone into the toilet first, the man was impatiently knocking on the door outside.
"Hurry up, is he dead inside? Women are such a hassle!"
"Can you hurry up and go to the toilet? I need to go, hurry up and come out!"
The man outside kept urging Sudan inside the toilet.
The Sultan looked around the cramped toilet but didn't see anything suspicious.
Just as Sultan was wondering if Xia Lan had guessed wrong, a thin rope outside the window caught his attention. Sultan carefully pulled the rope up.
A cloth bag appeared before him, and Sudan's eyes lit up.
Upon opening the bag, he found all the things everyone had lost inside. He hid the bag in his arms and then opened the door.
As he walked out, the man was still cursing.
"Excuse me." Sultan apologized to the man as usual, and then the two passed each other.
The man went into the restroom, and the flight attendant arrived shortly after.
Sudan stopped the flight attendant who was about to stop the man from closing the door, and the flight attendant looked down at Sudan.
“His things are with me. I found that they used cloth bags and thin ropes to hang the stolen goods outside the window.”
Sudan whispered in the flight attendant's ear and handed the item from his pocket to her.
The flight attendant gave Sudan a deep look.
"How did you know...?"
Suspicious eyes sized up Sudan, who glared at the flight attendant.
"Hmph, Xia Lan told me. She's been telling me to keep an eye on that man. She figured out a long time ago that the man in the toilet was that woman's accomplice."
"I've handed the items over to you. The rest is up to you."
Sudan gave the flight attendant a smug look, then turned and walked away.
"you……"
The male flight attendant was stunned. He hadn’t expected Sudan to hand over the things to him and leave. The credit was clearly theirs!
"What are you yelling about? Do you want us to be hated by bad guys? We're lesbians, what if they retaliate against us..."
Sudan turned around and glared angrily at the flight attendant, giving her a warning.
"You can take all the credit yourself. We don't know anything about this. Got it?"
Sudan said earnestly.
"..." The male flight attendant paused, understood Sudan's meaning, and stopped trying to stop her from leaving.
After putting the things away, a loud bang suddenly came from the toilet. The man must have discovered that the hidden things were gone and was throwing a tantrum.
Before the male flight attendant returned to the restroom, the man suddenly opened the door, seemingly wanting to settle scores with Sudan. He angrily opened the door, saw the flight attendant, and froze instantly in fright.
"What are you doing in there?" The male flight attendant looked at the man and felt that he looked very familiar.
"N-nothing... I almost tripped and fell just now, so I'm a little angry." The man turned his head away guiltily, not daring to look the flight attendant in the eye.
"Really? You're in a panic because something's missing, right?" The male flight attendant suddenly moved and pinned the man against the door.
"What are you doing? Is it illegal for me to go to the toilet?" The man struggled and refused to give in.
"Yang Qi, right!" The male flight attendant suppressed the man and sneered.
"I've been looking for you for so long! I never expected to run into you here!"
Once recognized, the man struggled frantically, but his struggles were futile under the restraint of the male flight attendant.
The commotion attracted the attention of bystanders, who quickly notified the other flight attendants.
"What happened? What's going on?" Other flight attendants rushed over. The man had already been subdued and was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
“He’s the woman’s accomplice, Yang Qi,” the male flight attendant said to his colleague.
The others immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yang Qi.
"Take him away," the male flight attendant said coldly.
"What about our things?" Many people are concerned about what belongs to them.
The male flight attendant held up the bag that Sudan had given him, but instead of opening it on the spot, he raised it aloud.
"If you've lost anything, you can come over and check with us to see what you lost. We'll return it to you after we confirm." The male flight attendant's words made everyone's eyes light up.
"Good job, young man! You found the item?"
"It's not lost, is it? Great, I can finally get my money back!"
"Let's go, let's check it quickly."
Everyone was extremely excited. The flight attendants began collecting information one by one, and then opened the bag in front of everyone. Sure enough, it contained everyone's lost items.
"It's mine, it's mine! That watch is mine!"
"That's right, they're my grain coupons, and they even have my factory's official seal on them to prove it!"
"That's my money. I deliberately folded a corner of it when I was at home!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was their own.
After confirming the information, she held her precious child, whom she had lost and found again, and was so excited that she almost cried.
"Thank you so much, comrade. I had no idea what would happen to my wife's illness if I lost this money..."
The incident ended successfully; everyone recovered their belongings and apprehended the group of people. Everyone praised the male flight attendant.
"Bai Xiao, you're something else! You did such a great thing right from the start, you deserve a good reward."
"This is what we should do." Bai Xiao listened to the praise from others, but his mind was on Sudan and Xia Lan.
They are the ones who deserve the most recognition, but instead of receiving the applause they deserve, they have given him all the credit.
"Being too modest is not good," his colleagues said, patting Bai Xiao on the shoulder with a smile.
Bai Xiao smiled faintly.
When Sultan returned to Xia Lan's side, the two exchanged a knowing glance, conveying a message that only they understood.
The woman opposite looked at Xia Lan and Sudan's interaction, but suspicion welled up in her eyes.
"Lanlan, you're amazing! How did you know that man would definitely take the stolen goods while everyone was looking for them?"
Sultan asked Xia Lan in a low voice, his eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.
Xia Lan chuckled softly.
"Everyone is checking other people's backpacks. As long as he survives the first round of checks, he'll be safe."
"While everyone was distracted, it was the perfect time for him to retrieve his belongings, so I was certain he would take action."
Xia Lan's explanation only confused the Sultan more.
"Then how did you guess the thing was in the toilet?" Sultan looked at Xia Lan, who seemed to know the thing was hidden in the toilet when she whispered it in her ear.
Xia Lan smiled gently, looked into Sudan's inquisitive eyes, and patiently explained.
"Our luggage is all kept under the bed or on the shelves above it. It's impossible to hide things in front of everyone unless it's a secluded place."
"And on the train, the only place where you can be alone without being seen by others is the toilet."
