Chapter 26 Outwitting the Robbers: Commander Gu's Fiancée is Not to be Trifled With!
Several men carrying gleaming weapons, some even carrying homemade guns, rushed in. They all had fierce faces and eyes that revealed the ruthlessness of desperate criminals.
"Don't you fucking move! Behave yourselves!"
The leader of the robbers, with a scarred face, slammed his machete heavily onto the metal carriage, sending sparks flying.
"Men, stand to the left; women, stand to the right. All of you, squat down! Hurry up!"
The passengers in the carriage had never seen anything like it before. They were all terrified, their faces pale, and they didn't dare to breathe. They trembled and squatted on the ground as the robbers ordered.
The robbers began to search each person's belongings one by one, taking watches, cash, and valuable jewelry without exception.
Soon, Scarface's gaze settled on the well-dressed and distinguished-looking Shen father and son.
He looked Shen Jianguo up and down, then glanced at the black briefcase he was clutching tightly to his chest, grinned, and revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Hey, judging by this comrade's demeanor, he must be a high-ranking official, right?"
He pointed the tip of his knife at the briefcase in Shen Jianguo's arms.
"Give me that bag!"
Shen Jianguo's expression changed instantly. He hugged his briefcase even tighter, his eyes resolute.
"You can take the money and the watch, but you can't touch the contents of this bag!"
This bag contains the core blueprints for a crucial national scientific research project, the culmination of countless hours of hard work he and his father had poured into it—more important than his own life!
"Hey, you're still arguing with me?"
Scarface was enraged, and one of the robbers behind him immediately raised his homemade gun, the dark muzzle pointed at Shen Jianguo's head.
"Old man, I'm giving you one more chance. Hand it over, or not?"
"Give me your mother's legs!" Shen Jianguo retorted, his eyes bloodshot. "If you've got the guts, take them from my corpse!"
"Good! You've got guts! I'll grant your wish!"
Scarface's eyes flashed with ferocity as he raised his machete to chop down!
In that critical moment, no one saw clearly what happened.
All I saw was a flash of white light!
"Whoosh—"
A whooshing sound cut through the air, so fast that no one had time to react.
The next second, the robber holding the homemade gun let out a shrill scream. A hairpin had appeared on his wrist holding the gun!
That warm, smooth white jade phoenix hairpin, at this moment, was like the sharpest weapon, precisely piercing through the tendon of his wrist!
"Clang!"
The homemade gun fell to the ground with a thud.
"Let's do it!"
Su Yue's cold shout was like a signal!
The two young soldiers who had been standing beside her, seemingly ordinary passengers, suddenly had eyes that became as sharp as eagles!
They made a move!
Like a tiger descending a mountain, a swift sweeping leg kick tripped the two robbers to the ground.
The other one lunged forward, his elbow like a hammer, striking the other robber cleanly and decisively in the neck. The robber didn't even utter a sound before his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
The scene instantly descended into chaos!
The instigator, Su Yue, moved through the chaotic crowd like a ghost.
She didn't choose to confront them head-on; those seemingly delicate and boneless hands became her most lethal weapon at that moment.
A robber brandished a dagger and lunged at her. She ducked to avoid the blow, and with a backhand motion, she used the jade hairpin in her hand to precisely pierce the paralyzing tendon under the robber's armpit.
"ah!"
The robber felt a sudden numbness and weakness on one side of his body, and the dagger slipped from his hand.
Without even looking, Su Yue delivered a side kick, striking her opponent squarely in the knee joint.
With a sharp "crack," the robber clutched his leg and collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.
Seeing this, another robber lunged at her with bloodshot eyes.
Su Yue's eyes turned cold. Instead of retreating, she advanced and charged towards the other party.
In the instant the two crossed paths, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, twisted her body at an incredible angle, and with lightning speed, poked her finger into the other person's lower back.
The robber's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been struck on an acupoint, and he fell straight backward, landing in a daze.
It all happened in less than a minute!
Of the five menacing robbers, two were subdued by the soldiers, while the other three were knocked to the ground by Su Yue with a hairpin, unable to get up again.
The entire carriage was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All the passengers, including the Shen family father and son, stared in disbelief at Su Yue standing in the center of the arena.
She still had that slender and delicate appearance, but her hair, which was tied up in a bun, was a little loose, and a few strands of black hair fell beside her cheeks, adding a touch of sharp beauty to her.
She slowly retracted the jade hairpin, which was spotless and untouched by blood, blew on it, and leisurely reinserted it into her hair, her movements as elegant as if she were fixing her makeup.
Then, she walked up to the scarred man who was stunned, looked down at him, and curled a cold smile at the corner of her mouth.
“My husband is a regimental commander in the army. You’ve messed with the wrong person.”
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an overwhelming and domineering aura that reverberated throughout the entire carriage.
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the carriage!
"Well done! What a heroine!"
"That's amazing! That skill is even more incredible than what you see in the movies!"
The two soldiers tied all the robbers up securely with belts, walked up to Su Yue, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Su Yue shook her head: "I'm fine, you guys handle the aftermath."
"yes!"
After this battle, the way the Shen father and son looked at Su Yue completely changed.
If before it was gratitude and appreciation, now it is utter shock and admiration.
This is no delicate little girl; she is clearly a brave, resourceful, and exceptionally skilled woman!
The train resumed its journey, and the disturbance subsided.
Grandpa Shen Congwen held Su Yue's hand, his old eyes filled with tears, too moved to speak.
"Child... Yueyue... you saved us again! How... how can we ever repay you!"
Shen Jianguo was also filled with emotion and lingering fear. He bowed solemnly to Su Yue.
"Sister-in-law, I was blind to your great kindness before! I won't thank you enough. From now on, you are my sister, Shen Jianguo's own sister! Anyone who dares to bully you will have to ask the wrench in my hand first!"
The national-level chief engineer was so excited that he even started using jargon.
Su Yue felt a little embarrassed by their display of force.
"Uncle Shen, Brother Shen, you're too kind. Just call me Su Yue. It's all I should do."
"No way!" Old Master Shen Congwen slapped his thigh, his attitude resolute. "From now on, you are my granddaughter, Shen Congwen's own granddaughter! It was done! No one can deny it!"
He looked at Su Yue and liked her more and more. She was simply a lucky star sent to the Shen family by heaven!
Su Yue was both amused and exasperated, but she could also sense the old man's sincerity, so she obediently called out, "Grandpa."
"Oh!" Old Master Shen was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
After a conversation, Su Yue learned that the Shen family had gone to Hainan Island to participate in an important national defense secret research project, and the military security work for this project was being handled by Gu Beichen's "Snow Wolf" special forces team.
Shen Jianguo slapped his forehead: "Oh dear! Look at my memory! Sister-in-law, I'm quite familiar with that kid Gu Beichen. We met a few times at a conference in Beijing before. He's an extraordinary young talent! You two are a match made in heaven!"
Grandpa Shen also chuckled and teased Su Yue.
"Once we get to Hainan Island, I'm going to brag to that brat Gu Beichen about my precious granddaughter, who's both scholarly and martial! I'll let him know he's struck gold!"
Su Yue's cheeks flushed slightly at what she was told, and she lowered her eyes to hide the smile in them.
She also felt a strange, inexplicable curiosity about her "cheap husband" whom she had never met.
An ice-faced leader? That sounds interesting.
...
The train whistled long and slowly pulled into Qiongzhou Station.
The warm, humid air of the south swept over us, and the platform was bustling with people, full of the vibrancy of life.
Su Yue, carrying simple luggage, got off the bus with the Shen family.
"Yueyue, let's go to the guesthouse to settle in first. What about you? Has Beichen come to pick you up yet?" Shen Jianguo looked around.
Su Yue shook her head: "I sent him a telegram saying that my return was delayed, but I didn't tell him the exact date I would arrive."
"You silly girl!" Old Master Shen gave her a reproachful look. "Alright, then you come with us to the guesthouse first. I'll call the army right now and have that kid come pick them up!"
Just as Su Yue was about to agree, a voice filled with obvious hostility interrupted from the side.
A woman dressed in a brand-new military uniform, with a slender figure but an undisguised look of contempt and jealousy on her face, was looking at her sideways with her arms crossed.
"You're Su Yue?"
The woman's voice was sarcastic and full of scrutiny.
"She's just average-looking. I really don't know which eye of Brother Beichen is blind to have taken a liking to a capitalist's daughter like you."
