"Why are you running? Feeling guilty?"
Xu Zijiang sneered.
"Who's feeling guilty? Why are you grabbing my hand? I'm going to yell 'molestation'!"
Lin Ruisi tried hard to shake off his hand, but she couldn't.
Yu Jiu came over and hugged her hand tightly.
"So, it's not considered indecent assault for me to hug you, is it? You liar."
She curled her lip in a mocking manner.
At this point, the woman also came to her senses.
"What's going on? What scammer? You can't leave! You can't leave yet! Explain yourself to me first!"
"Exactly! Come to your senses, young lady! Why are they saying you're a liar?"
The older men also gathered around, and the four of them blocked her way, making it impossible for her to escape.
"Just because she calls me a liar doesn't mean I am! Do you believe her or me? Let go, release me!"
"Brother Chao, save me!"
Just as the train doors were about to close and the train was heading to the next stop, she was still stuck there. She couldn't help but shout out that Brother Chao was waiting for her downstairs.
"Damn it! What the hell are you doing! You two nosy bastards!"
Chao Ge angrily punched the air, but the money and the person were both on it, so he could only rush up, trying to run away with Lin Ruisi.
However, he was stopped by Xu Zijiang before he could enter Lin Ruisi's encirclement.
"Trying to steal someone from me? Aren't you underestimating me a bit?"
Xu Zijiang sneered. These two worked so well together; they must have fooled countless people. This time, he couldn't let them go.
He met Chao Ge's fist head-on, dodged to the side, and then delivered a powerful punch that slammed into Chao Ge's stomach. The punch was so fast that Chao Ge only dodged halfway and was still hit in the ribs.
"hiss!"
"You fucking bastard!"
Chao Ge's anger grew, but he couldn't get entangled with Xu Zijiang here. His goal was to escape with Lin Ruisi. He gritted his teeth and roared at Lin Ruisi.
"Get out here! What are you standing there for? Are you dead?!"
"I can't get out! I want to too!"
With Yu Jiu and the aunt each holding one of Lin Ruisi's arms, it was no wonder she couldn't walk!
The passengers in the carriage watched them fight and quickly got up to move away.
"Why did they start fighting?"
"I don't know."
"No fighting in the car! You all better stop, or I'll have to take action!"
At this moment, the train conductor noticed the commotion and rushed over to try and break up the fight.
Chao Ge had already missed the best opportunity. The train doors began to slowly close. Seeing this, he hurriedly kicked Xu Zijiang, trying to get rid of his entanglement and get off the train himself. As for Lin Ruisi, he couldn't care less about her life or death!
"Want to leave? You'll have to ask for my permission first."
Xu Zi smirked, pressed his hand on Chao Ge's shoulder for leverage, and then slammed his knee into Chao Ge's back. With a crack, Chao Ge broke his bone.
"ah!"
Chao Ge screamed in pain, then was pinned to the ground by Xu Zijiang.
"This person is a fraud, and he's in cahoots with that woman."
Xu Zi was about to explain to the train conductor that if he hesitated any longer, the electric baton would probably be used on him.
"Yes, they cheated everyone out of their money, saying they would send tea to everyone, but once they get off this bus, they definitely won't care about it anymore."
Yu Jiu added.
"Bullshit! What evidence do you have that we cheated you out of money! The money is still here, why can't we go back and send everyone more tea!"
Chao refused to admit defeat, spat, and continued to retort fiercely.
"If you're not scammers, why are you running away? Besides, didn't you say you didn't know each other? How come you know each other now? Can you honestly say you weren't a shill mixed in with everyone? You scammed money and then ran away halfway through. What evidence do you need? Isn't this evidence enough?"
Yu Jiu took out more than thirty yuan from Lin Ruisi's pocket and said confidently.
The older woman looked at Lin Ruisi with heartache.
"I never imagined you, young lady, were a liar! I trusted you so much! I knew it! That's why this girl was always targeting you – she found out you were a fraud! Give me my money back!"
"And mine too! I shouldn't have trusted you in a moment of impulse!"
People protested angrily and rushed up to take their money back.
Lin Ruisi was unable to defend herself. This was the first time she had been caught, and perhaps her adaptability and mental fortitude were not strong enough, so she immediately burst into tears and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, please let me go, waaaaaah."
"Lin Ruisi, you idiot!!!"
Chao was furious. He hadn't even admitted to having his leg broken, but she admitted it so easily! She'd already admitted it, so what was there to argue about?
“Oh, I see. You can’t fight in the car. It would be bad if anyone got hurt. I’ll go find two ropes and tie them up first. We’ll hand them over to the station staff at the next stop and take them to the police station.”
The train conductor was quite experienced; there were countless swindlers and thieves on trains. He simply gave them a warning about fighting on the train and that was it. The others, however, applauded Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang enthusiastically.
"That's amazing! If it weren't for you guys, we would have been scammed. How did you know they were scammers?"
Everyone was both grateful and impressed, and couldn't help but ask them how they discovered the scammer's flaws.
"The main thing is that she kept urging you to buy tea from her, and she wanted to collect the money first. After all, you've only met her by chance, and if she takes the money but doesn't give you the tea, there's nothing you can do."
Yu Jiu explained.
In fact, they didn't have any evidence. It was just a gut feeling that this person was a fraud. As for his accomplices, they were easy to identify. Even Yu Jiu, who had never served in the military, could recognize them. Their communication was too obvious.
"We were just too naive and too trusting. Sigh."
Everyone sighed, especially the older men and women, who gave the most money—fifteen yuan! That's half a month's salary!
"I'll never be so kind again!"
The aunt swore.
Chao Ge was tied up and thrown on his seat. He stared intently at Xu Zijiang and Yan Weimin, as if trying to memorize their faces.
"I recognize you now. You better not let me run into you again!"
Otherwise, the man would be stabbed to death! The woman would be sold into prostitution!
"I'll give you this advice too. If I ever run into you lying again, it won't be as simple as a broken bone."
Xu Zijiang sneered, then turned to the train attendant and instructed him to make sure to tell the police that these two were definitely repeat offenders and that they should be thoroughly interrogated so that they could spend more years in prison and stop causing trouble for others!
The train conductor couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only nod. Xu Zi had done all their work, and for a moment, he felt a little complicated.
