Chapter 171 Robbery!
Before coming, the professors had already booked a hotel and contacted the car to pick them up in advance. However, due to turbulent air currents, the car did not arrive on time and was more than an hour later than originally scheduled. So when they came out, they suddenly couldn't find the car to pick them up.
"What's going on? Has the car already left?"
"Wait here for me. Don't run around. I'll go ask. Please hold Professor Qiao."
"Okay, Professor Liu."
Everyone nodded obediently. As they were unfamiliar with the place, they didn't want to run around. They were all smart people and didn't want to get themselves into trouble.
But just because you don't commit suicide doesn't mean nothing will happen.
After all, they have come to a foreign country, and everyone is still very curious about this place. Moreover, everyone has different levels of vigilance. Some people just put their bags on the ground carelessly, and just look around.
Xia Xian knew that there were more pickpockets abroad than in China, and sometimes they would even rob openly, so she couldn't stand it and kindly reminded him.
"Do you want to all pick up your bags? I think it's better to hold them so they won't be lost."
"The bag is right here, how could it be lost? We are watching it, it's okay."
"Yeah, and there are so many of us here, they can't possibly come and steal our things, right?"
No one took it seriously and thought Xia Xian was just worrying too much. Seeing that no one wanted to listen, Xia Xian had to purse her lips and shut up.
Forget it, just take care of yourself and don't meddle in other people's business. There's no danger to your life anyway. If something is lost, just take it as a lesson.
Xia Xian thought about it indifferently and said no more.
But even though she didn't say anything, Xia Fangfang still snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction.
"The professor didn't say anything, but you arranged everything. People who don't know would think you are the leader. You really like to take all the credit for yourself."
She suddenly became sarcastic and her attitude towards Xia Xian was not as friendly as before she came.
Xia Xian first strongly refused the idea of introducing her to a date. Not only did he not give her face, but he actually asked her to go to the professor for help when it was so dangerous on the plane!
Yes, Xia Fangfang heard it, but she just didn't want to help. She kept covering her ears, closing her eyes, pretending that she heard nothing and knew nothing.
But she was still annoyed by Xia Xian's commanding attitude, especially when Xia Xian called her but she did not help. However, Xia Xian went to help herself and helped the professor get the medicine and made him take it. Now the professor was particularly grateful to her. Xia Fangfang felt embarrassed when she got off the plane.
Now Xia Xian has made her look like a different kind of person, especially since both of them have the surname Xia!
She didn't know if Professor Qiao would secretly make things difficult for her if she didn't help.
As she thought about this, she naturally began to resent Xia Xian. If Xia Xian hadn't called her, wouldn't these things have happened? Professor Qiao would definitely not think that she was deliberately not helping!
Now Xia Xian started to direct everyone about the bag-carrying issue again. She really thinks she is an important person. Who does she think she is? Xia Fangfang was angry and naturally showed some anger on her face, so she confronted Xia Xian.
"I can't say whether I have done anything meritorious or not. I'm just giving you a kind reminder. If you don't like it, I won't say it. It won't have any impact on me, and I won't get any benefits from it."
Xia Xian answered calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. She did not feel guilty nor angry. After all, she was just doing what she thought she should do.
"There are many benefits, but we just haven't started to get them yet."
Xia Fangfang curled her lips and continued to be sarcastic, but Xia Xian didn't buy her trick. It was not her decision whether there were benefits or not, so there was no need to argue with her anymore.
The two men were not close to the professor, with several people between them, and their voices were not loud. The professor did not hear them, so he naturally did not come out to stop them.
Fortunately, this little incident ended with Xia Xian not responding.
But Professor Liu went to look for a car and didn't come back for most of the day. Everyone was tired of standing and prepared to find something to sit on the ground and rest for a while.
Just when everyone opened their bags and prepared to take things out, a group of young people suddenly came from not far away. They ran over laughing and joking. No one paid much attention to them. They just glanced at them and continued to look for things.
But Xia Xian noticed that their eyes were looking at this side intentionally or unintentionally. She had a bad feeling. She opened her lips and wanted to remind everyone to pay attention, but when she thought of what Xia Fangfang said and no one helped her to refute it, she thought that maybe everyone really didn't like to hear it.
Thinking of this, Xia Xian swallowed her words again. They were all adults, so they should take care of themselves.
She hugged her bag tightly, changed her position, and walked to Professor Qiao's side, which was a little closer to the inside.
Seeing her coming over, Professor Qiao thought she had something to say, so he glanced at her and asked gently.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
"I have some walnut cookies in my bag, would you like some?"
After all, Xia Xian saved him on the plane. It is impossible for Professor Qiao to have a bad impression of Xia Xian, so he naturally cares about her now.
"No, Professor Qiao, I'm not hungry yet. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere now?"
Xia Xian shook her head and started to care about him again.
"No, I just have some asthma, an old problem. If I encounter any stimulation, it may relapse, but after taking medicine and resting for a while, I will almost recover. Don't worry."
Professor Qiao explained that while the two were talking, the group of young men had already come up to them and quickly snatched the bags of the two people while they were off guard!
"Ah! Robbery!"
“My bag!”
Someone's bag was snatched, and everyone knew something was wrong. They quickly held on to the things in their hands tightly. The strong Professor Meng also rushed over to drive them away and tried to snatch the two bags back, but they were outnumbered and Professor Meng did not dare to force them, for fear that they would continue to snatch.
Fortunately, they did not dare to rob openly and only snatched two things secretly. When they were discovered and on guard, they did not want to fight and quickly ran away with the things. In less than two minutes, they disappeared without a trace.
"How could they just leave like that! Professor Meng, can you help me find my bag? My money, my passport, my clothes are all still in it! What will I do if I lose my bag!!!"
Xia Fangfang burst into tears. She had never expected to encounter such a thing. She was immediately scared out of her wits. Another student who was robbed was a male student. He also hung his head in regret. It was all his fault that he was standing at the outside. Otherwise, he would not have come up and robbed his bag! What should he do?
"Don't worry, as long as the person is fine, we will report the case later and see if we can get the things back."
The person had run away, so Professor Meng had no idea where to chase him. He could only comfort Xia Fangfang, then report the case to the police.
"It's definitely not going to be found! Even if my bag is found, the money is definitely gone!"
Xia Fangfang was heartbroken. She had more than 200 yuan in her bag!!! She had finally managed to get money from her family to give her money. She also had to buy things for her family. Now the money was lost. How could she explain it to her family?
"There's nothing we can do about it. I reminded you to hurry with your things, and Xia Xian also reminded you, but you didn't listen. This is the only way."
Professor Meng was also a little helpless. He couldn't ask him to carry everyone's bags. If he had known earlier, he would have collected everyone's money and passports and asked him to keep them.
Suddenly, the passports and money of two students were lost. He was very upset. Xia Fangfang kept crying and making a fuss, which made him even more annoyed.
Hearing this, Xia Fangfang looked at Xia Xian viciously. She was clearly standing in front of her just now. If she hadn't run away, it would have been Xia Xian's bag that was snatched!
I actually hated Xia Xian again!
