Wealth can be very tempting.
What would happen if a young person around 20 years old took out 10,000 yuan on a green train in 1992?
The answer is simple.
They've been targeted.
The security situation in the 1990s was very bad. It was an extremely chaotic era, and almost no one dared to display their money when they went out.
Lin Yifeng pulling out 10,000 yuan on the green train was undoubtedly a way of telling everyone.
Come and mess with me, I'm stupid and rich, and I'm easy to bully.
then.
The fish took the bait.
...
It was past 1 a.m., in a soft sleeper compartment.
Lin Yifeng stood with his foot on the head of a man in his thirties, leisurely toying with the pocket watch he had pawned from a young man who had lost a bet.
This is a pocket watch from the Republic of China era. It is about 5 centimeters in diameter and about 1 centimeter thick. The case is made of brass and has a lid. The dial is white, and the hands and markings are made of brass.
Lin Yifeng wasn't sure if this pocket watch would be worth anything in the future, or for how much, but it certainly had considerable collectible value.
Getting a pocket watch like this for 1000 yuan to play with is quite a good deal.
Anyway, you won't lose money!
"Go, climb up to the top bunk and pile on top of them!"
"Keep quiet, don't disturb other people and cause trouble."
Lin Yifeng fiddled with the pocket watch for a while, then removed his foot from the head of the man in his thirties. He let the skinny man, whose clothes were patched, climb up to the shop and pile on top of the others.
Around 8 PM, Lin Yifeng waved 10,000 yuan in cash, attracting many "fish".
Some of the fish sensed something was wrong when they got to the door and ran away.
The other group, however, were stacked on top of each other in the upper bunks.
Fortunately, this was a soft sleeper compartment, not a hard sleeper compartment.
If it's a hard sleeper berth, there really can't be many people stacked together.
The skinny middle-aged man climbed to the shop with a frustrated expression, unsure whether to laugh or cry. He had finally experienced what it was like to be in a soft sleeper on a slow train.
"Only five people? That's not enough!"
"Four more people, four more people, let's call it a day!"
Lin Yifeng's soft sleeper compartment already had five people stacked on top of each other, but he felt that there were still not enough people. If there were two more, or three or four more, that would be even better.
Nine people, using a three-on-three tactic, can form an expedition team.
The five people forced into the human pyramid looked at Lin Yifeng with anger in their eyes when they heard his words, but they dared not make a sound.
Anyone who made a sound was severely beaten by Lin Yifeng.
Leaning against the bed, toying with the pocket watch in his hand, Lin Yifeng quietly waited for the fish to arrive.
Whether it was because a group of people failed to leave the private room or for some other reason, Lin Yifeng waited for more than an hour without any fish taking the bait.
This made Lin Yifeng a little depressed.
He actually took out ten thousand yuan!
Ten thousand!
Why are there so few fish on the hook?
Lin Yifeng sensed something was wrong.
The green train from 1992 was arguably the most chaotic place in the country.
How far have you gotten?
The carriages were filled with all sorts of people, including some desperate criminals.
Moreover, just last year, a major train robbery occurred in China, in which more than 80 criminals ransacked 10 train carriages, robbing more than half of the more than 1,000 people on board.
All of this made Lin Yifeng realize that there were more fish than just these.
Clap clap clap!
Just as Lin Yifeng was wondering why the fish hadn't come yet, footsteps sounded outside again. He immediately perked up, realizing that another fish had taken the bait.
"Xiao Qing, get ready to make your move! Get ready to make your move!"
Lin Yifeng gestured to Ye Yuqing to prepare to make a move, but after a few seconds, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't do it."
"It's not a fish, it's a train police officer!"
The people who came were railway police officers, not "Fish" who wanted to cause trouble for Lin Yifeng.
The footsteps of these two types of people are completely different. The fish's footsteps are tiptoeing, very light, and chaotic.
The train police officers' steps were heavier, and while their cadence wasn't exactly the same, it was quite similar.
Da da da, da da da!
"Open the door, police!"
A knock sounded at the door, and Lin Yifeng got up to open it. He saw two train police officers outside.
There was a man and a woman. The man was older, probably in his forties, and the woman was a little younger, probably in her early twenties.
"Hello, please show me your ID and ticket."
The male train police officer saluted Lin Yifeng and began checking Lin Yifeng's ID card and ticket. Lin Yifeng nodded, took out his documents, and said, "I also need to see your documents."
There are far too many people impersonating police officers these days, so to avoid this situation, he chose to check the identification of the two train police officers.
The young female train police officer was a little unhappy with Lin Yifeng's request, but the male train police officer took out his ID card without caring.
After both sides completed the verification, the two train police officers entered Lin Yifeng's soft sleeper compartment. Just as the older officer was about to say something, he saw five people stacked on top of each other on the upper bunk.
"What are they doing?"
The older train police officer felt that he had seen all sorts of things over the years on trains.
But he had never seen this scene before.
Five people were stacked on top of each other in the upper berth of a soft sleeper?
How should I answer that?
Lin Yifeng pondered how to explain it.
The five people stacked on top of each other dared not say a word.
They can't exactly say they came to rob or steal, only to get themselves tackled and beaten up.
