Tong Jiaojiao was also very concerned about her life at this moment, and temporarily blocked out those negative comments about her.
The old woman, holding Tong Jiaojiao hostage, pushed through the crowd step by step and threatened the arriving train crew to stop the train so she could get off with the hostage.
To ensure Tong Jiaojiao's safety, the flight attendants could only give a verbal agreement for now.
The old lady continued to lead Tong Jiaojiao toward the carriage door, and the passengers on both sides quickly dispersed.
Suddenly, a bullet flew by, and with a bang, a bloody hole appeared in the old woman's head.
Immediately, the knife in her hand fell to the ground, and after releasing Tong Jiaojiao, she herself collapsed to the ground.
However, the person who fired the shot was Lu Zhengting.
He had taken advantage of the old lady holding Tong Jiaojiao hostage to sneak along the other side of the carriage, find a suitable angle, and then pull the trigger on the old lady.
He originally intended to capture the old woman alive and then interrogate her to find out the whereabouts of his accomplices.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the hostages, the elderly woman had no choice but to be shot.
After the old lady died, two flight attendants came and cleaned up the scene, taking her body away.
Tong Jiaojiao rushed to Lu Zhengting's side, staring at him intently.
"Comrade, thank you for saving me."
"No need to thank me, it's my duty. I would save anyone, no matter who they are."
Then he turned to look for Lin Qingyan.
Tong Jiaojiao was annoyed by Lu Zhengting's cold attitude towards her.
At this moment, Lin Qingyan also came out of the toilet with the child in her arms. Afterwards, she and Lu Zhengting handed the child over to the train attendants.
The flight attendants handed the child over to the accompanying doctor and then asked Lin Qingyan for details about how the child traffickers were discovered. Half an hour later, the matter was temporarily resolved.
Meanwhile, because of Lin Qingyan's reminder to Lu Zhengting, Lu Zhengting asked Feng Yidong to remind the train conductor. When the conductor sent people to check all the carriages, they found two more human traffickers in other carriages. They had also used the method of feeding medicine to the babies to transport them.
The two men confessed that they were in cahoots with the old woman.
Because Lin Qingyan was the first to discover the human traffickers, helped expose them, and protected the abducted baby, the train police immediately awarded her a certificate of merit for her act of bravery.
Lin Qingyan was surprised to receive an award. Overjoyed, she accepted the certificate and thanked the train police officer.
"Young lady, we should be thanking you."
Lu Zhengting also said to Lin Qingyan, "Congratulations."
Lin Qingyan chuckled: "Speaking of which, you deserve a lot of credit for catching the human traffickers."
"No, no, if you hadn't discovered the human traffickers first, I wouldn't have been able to catch them. Besides, it's my duty; I'm receiving a government stipend, so I should fulfill my responsibilities."
Lin Qingyan folded the certificate and put it in her handbag.
She was about to say goodbye to Lu Zhengting and return to her seat when she looked up and saw Lu Zhengting looking at her. The man's thin lips were slightly curved, and his deep eyes were filled with laughter.
He parted his thin lips slightly: "Comrade, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."
They didn't have time to chat at all because of the human traffickers.
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Yes."
She glanced at Lu Zhengting's previously injured arm, recalling his bravery in the fight with the human traffickers: "How's your injury? Is it healed so quickly?"
"It's nothing serious. I was injured much worse before. I can still carry out missions after a couple of days of rest."
He then remembered something.
That day, I used this woman's handkerchief to bandage my wound, saying I wanted to return it to her.
He immediately reached into his pocket to find the handkerchief.
But he searched his pockets again and again, and still couldn't find it. He searched other pockets as well, but still couldn't find it.
He then suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to wash the handkerchief; he had put it in his bag and left it at the military base.
He said apologetically to Lin Qingyan, "I'm so sorry, I haven't washed your handkerchief yet. I left it at the military area. I'll definitely return it to you next time."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a handkerchief. You still remember it? Never mind, I don't want it anymore. You can just throw it away when you get back."
Lu Zhengting smiled and didn't say anything, then said, "I'm so grateful to you for helping me stop the bleeding that day. I said I wanted to thank you. It's lunchtime now, so let me treat you to dinner."
"No need." Lin Qingyan had just refused when her stomach growled twice.
"Let's go eat over at the dining car; the air is fresher there," Lu Zhengting invited again.
Lin Qingyan did not deny this. There were all sorts of smells in the carriage. She noticed it as soon as she got on. At first, she couldn't stand it, but she gradually got used to it.
Since it would provide a better dining environment, she nodded in agreement, which would save Lu Zhengting from constantly thinking about her "kindness".
"Okay, I'll go tell my companion, and I'll be over in a bit."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you."
After Lin Qingyan left, Feng Yidong came over. He patted Lu Zhengting on the shoulder and said with a teasing look, "Old Lu, I didn't know you liked this type. She doesn't look very old. Is she an adult? Oh, you're taking advantage of a younger woman, picking the smaller ones."
"Shut up!" Lu Zhengting's face turned cold. "Don't talk nonsense. My relationship with this woman is not what you think. She has helped me."
"You helped me? So, you're thinking of repaying me with your body?"
Lu Zhengting sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Think whatever you want, but you can talk nonsense in front of me, but don't talk nonsense in front of other people."
Feng Yidong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Old Lu was all smiles just now, but you've never smiled at me. You always have this icy expression on your face, which makes me wonder if I owe you money."
"With your long, narrow face, what's so funny about you?"
"Me, a shoehorn?" Feng Yidong quickly wiped his face. "My mom says I'm quite good-looking."
"Your mom was lying to you, afraid you wouldn't be confident about your appearance."
"Go away, you're the one with a shoehorn face, I have a proper pig kidney face. Hahahaha, I'm a handsome man, as handsome as Pan An."
Feng Yidong then remembered that the girl from earlier looked very thin and like she was seriously ill. How beautiful could she be?
But Lao Lu had never shown that kind of expression to any other girl.
Could it be that he has really fallen for that girl?
Lu Zhengting found him annoying, "Alright, alright, enough nonsense. Last time I was injured, someone took out their own handkerchief to bandage my wound and stop the bleeding. I happened to run into them again this time, so I wanted to treat them to a meal to express my gratitude. You don't need to be standing next to me while we're eating."
"Afraid I'll disturb you?"
"Um."
"Okay, I'll leave."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, rolling away as fast as he could.
Lin Qingyan returned to her seat, and Tong Jiaojiao immediately handed her two White Rabbit milk candies: "Qingyan, I'll treat you to some candy."
She had learned Lin Qingyan's name from a conversation between Lin Qingyan and Du Xiaoyue.
