When Zhang Cuie saw that the speaker was Yu Yao, her face turned pale instantly, and she nervously grabbed Zhao Jiabao.
It was so dark last night, she shouldn't have been able to see clearly.
"Grandma, you're hurting me," Zhao Jiabao complained.
The train conductor glanced at Zhang Cuie, then turned to Yu Yao: "This lady, how are you going to testify?"
Just as Yu Yao was about to speak, Zhang Cuie spoke up first: "Comrade, they are in cahoots. Many people saw them laughing and talking yesterday. Her testimony cannot be trusted."
The train conductor looked at Yu Yao: "Is what she said true? Do you two really know each other?"
Yu Yao did not deny it, "That's right, I do know Comrade Wu."
As if she had caught her red-handed, Zhang Cuie said smugly, "Comrade, you heard it all, they know each other. How can she testify?"
Although Wu Huaiqing was grateful to Yu Yao for speaking up for her, she did not want to put her in a difficult position.
Yu Yao gestured for her to calm down, and looking at Zhang Cuie who was jumping around happily, she calmly said, "I remember there are also police officers on the train. My suggestion is to call the police and let the police handle it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuie panicked, her eyes darting around, and her legs trembling slightly.
Zhao Jiabao thought they were going to be bullied, so he screamed and shouted, "My dad is the battalion commander of the island troops. If you dare to bully us, I'll have my dad arrest you all and shoot you all!"
These words immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the people.
"So what if he's a battalion commander? Does that mean he can arrest people at will?"
People generally have a good impression of the People's Liberation Army comrades, but in a large group of people, there are all kinds of people, and there are bound to be a few bad apples.
Ge Jinhua cherishes her status as a military family member the most and cannot stand anyone taking advantage of her position to tarnish the reputation of military families.
"You're supposed to be military dependents, yet you're bringing shame to military dependents. You have no sense of responsibility whatsoever. Don't believe him, he's just spouting nonsense."
The train conductor gestured for Yu Yao to continue.
Yu Yao said, "My friend's wallet was custom-made by the island food factory. My friend's name is on the lining. The police can confirm it with a search."
Upon hearing this, Wu Huaiqing glanced at Yu Yao in surprise.
His wallet has a name on it, how could he not know it?
However, he did not clarify, believing that Yu Yao had her own reasons for saying that, and he just needed to cooperate.
Seeing that he understood her meaning, Yu Yao continued to make up a lie: "My friend still has more than a thousand yuan in his wallet. It's payment for goods from the island food factory, which is public funds. It's best to hand it over to the police to handle."
Everyone gasped when they heard that there was a thousand yuan of public funds inside.
"Wow, so much money! No wonder this guy is so nervous. If I lost that much money, I would definitely faint."
"Stealing so much public funds is a major case. If caught, he will definitely be sentenced, and it might even implicate his family. He'll likely spend the rest of his life in jail."
Zhang Cuie looked at Yu Yao in disbelief.
How could such a fair-skinned and beautiful woman lie through her teeth!
My wallet only has one hundred yuan, not a thousand.
She then thought of what Yu Yao had just said: the wallet contained a name, and if the police searched it, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had eight mouths.
The train attendant also thought Yu Yao's suggestion was good: "There are police officers on the train, I'll go find someone."
Zhang Cuie panicked completely upon hearing this.
If she gets arrested, will it implicate her son? If her son doesn't get promoted, she'll definitely be sent back this time.
“No, we can’t report this to the police!” Zhang Cuie immediately stood up to object.
Everyone looked at Zhang Cuie. "Why can't we report it to the police? You didn't really steal it, did you?"
Zhang Cuie was both flustered and scared, but she forced herself to argue: "We didn't steal it. I just remembered that I seemed to have picked up a bag with a wallet inside. I don't know if it belonged to this comrade."
The train conductor asked sternly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhang Cuie: "I'm too old to remember."
The crowd clearly didn't believe her and looked at her with disdain. "Whether you stole it or found it, hurry up and hand over the person's things."
Zhang Cuie quickly opened her luggage bag and took out a plastic bag containing her wallet.
The train conductor handed the bag to Wu Huaiqing.
Wu Huaiqing took the bag and was overjoyed to see that the pocket watch was still inside. He thanked her repeatedly.
"Thank you, train conductor; thank you everyone; thank you, Comrade Yu. This is the bag I lost."
"Then quickly check if anything is missing from inside?" someone said.
Zhang Cuie quickly said, "There isn't as much money inside as you're saying, there's only a hundred yuan, really, I didn't take it."
Yu Yao said nonchalantly, "There wasn't even a thousand yuan in there to begin with, and there's no name on it. I was just bluffing you."
Are you angry or not?
Upon hearing this, everyone cast admiring glances at Yu Yao, saying, "Comrade, you are not only enthusiastic but also very smart. You did a great job."
Someone started clapping, and others joined in, filling the carriage with enthusiastic applause.
Hu Lingyu and Lu Huiyun had been watching from the beginning, and when they saw Yu Yao take action, they knew she had a solution.
Sure enough, the man's belongings were recovered not long afterward.
Now, seeing her being praised by everyone, both of them smiled, feeling a sense of pride, like a daughter growing up in her family.
When asked by others, she proactively said, "The person who was helping others just now is my daughter-in-law."
"So this is your daughter-in-law. She's not only beautiful, but also very smart. She's a really good comrade."
At this point, Hu Lingyu and Lu Huiyun would humbly say, "Not at all, she's just a kind and warm-hearted person, you flatter her."
