After Fu Chengyu dealt with the wretched man, he returned to his seat, leaned over to Li Jiyue and whispered to her, "Wife, are you scared?"
"It's okay. You came back just in time. I know you will protect me."
The two were talking in private, and the aunt next to them jokingly said, "Young people, you just got married, right?"
"How did you find out, sister?"
The aunt said, "Hey, I'm an experienced person too. I can tell at a glance that you two have a strong relationship. Only newlyweds can be like that."
Li Jiyue smiled and replied, "You guessed it right."
Li Jiyue found that most people were carrying luggage. Some had families, while others were single. They did not look like educated youth.
Fu Chengyu noticed her curiosity and whispered in her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Smuggling, Hong Kong City."
Li Jiyue understood.
She had heard a little about this history. During that era, there was a huge gap in the economic development levels between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong City.
The income of an ordinary farmer per working day is nearly 100 times that of farmers in Hong Kong and cities.
This economic gap has led most people to risk their lives by crossing the border illegally in search of better living conditions.
Even the national police and the People's Liberation Army could not stop them.
The train journey was only three or four hours, but after more than an hour, it was almost out of Guangzhou.
Half an hour after the train started, the conductor randomly checked some individuals' letters of introduction and identity documents.
Li Jiyue had been keeping an eye on the suspicious man. When the conductor came over, he lowered his head even lower and turned to look out the window, looking indifferent and unconcerned. In fact, he had been paying attention to the movements in the carriage. One hand was placed between the luggage on his lap and the carriage, as if he was ready to draw a weapon at any time.
Fu Chengyu had just noticed that something was wrong with the man, and he returned to his seat calmly. His comrades called him over for a brief meeting and told him that there were enemy spies on the bus.
The cunning enemy spies cooperated with each other to steal nuclear weapons research drawings and prepared to smuggle them out of the country.
The police tracked down a group of people, but they all escaped and finally locked them down on this train.
The conductor randomly checked one person every other seat and happened to pick the suspicious man. He did not resist and obediently handed over his letter of introduction and ID.
The conductor compared the photo on the ID with the person and muttered quietly, "You don't look much like the photo. What are you going there for?"
The man clenched his bag tightly, a murderous look flashing across his eyes, but it quickly faded away. He answered honestly, "I'm visiting my relatives. My aunt passed away, and my family asked me to attend the funeral. The photo was taken when I was younger, and I've been working hard over the years, and I've aged a lot."
"After a closer look, I see that their facial features are somewhat similar. There's no problem. I'll return it to you. Thank you for your cooperation." The flight attendant folded the letter of introduction and returned it to him together with his ID card.
The man knew he had passed the test, so he let go of the gun and took the letter with both hands. "No need to thank me. It's our duty to cooperate with our comrades in their work. It's what we should do."
He stood up slightly, and his bag fell to the ground. The conductor leaned over to help him pick it up, but he snatched it back. "Thank you, comrade. I can do it myself. No need to bother you."
The conductor nodded and went to check the next person.
Fu Chengyu observed the man's actions out of the corner of his eye.
The man who had just grabbed a seat for his wife and children wanted to pour some water for his wife. He shook the kettle and found that there was no water. He told his wife to get some water and walked towards the carriage towards the dining car.
Fu Chengyu checked his watch. It was noon. "Wife, you didn't have much of an appetite this morning. Are you hungry? How about I go get you some food?"
Li Jiyue agreed and said, "Okay, I'm a little hungry."
When the man who went to fetch water came back, there was something wrong in his eyes. He walked over to his wife and before he even put down the kettle, he urged her, "You and the children drank a lot of water this morning. Go to the toilet first."
"Going to the bathroom? I just went before I got on the bus. There's no rush now. It's hot and humid. Hurry and give the child a glass of cold water."
"Ask for some hot water so that you can go to the toilet and I can have room to pour water." The husband pulled his wife's arm, winked at her and gave her a look.
Although the wife didn't know what was going on, she knew that her husband wanted her to go to the bathroom first, so she followed his wishes and stood up with her son in her arms.
"Oh well."
However, as soon as she stood up, an arm grabbed her neck and pulled her inside.
"ah!"
Before she could react to what was happening, someone put a gun to the head of the child in her arms.
Her eyes suddenly widened and she screamed in fear, "Ah!——"
"A gun? No, I don't want my little son. What do you want? If you want money, I'll give it to you. If you want to kill someone, kill me, but don't kill my son."
Fu Chengyu quickly appeared in the compartment, pointing a gun at the man. The people in the compartment fled to other cars, and some of the timid ones were so scared that they froze in place and dared not move.
More than a dozen men in military uniforms rushed into the carriage, surrounded the man with guns drawn, and shouted, "You can't escape! Release the hostages immediately."
"Put your guns down, put your guns down, or I'll kill this kid first."
Fu Chengyu stood still and said, "Even if you kill someone, you can't escape. Release the hostage and hand over all your belongings. If you confess, you will be treated leniently, and if you resist, you will be treated severely. Maybe you can still save your life."
The enemy spy sneered and said, "I have committed a capital crime. If I fall into your hands, I will be dead. Get out of the way! Make way for me. Kill this child first. I still have a hostage."
The husband, his wife, and children were captured by the enemy agents. He turned to the soldiers and pleaded, "Comrade soldiers, please save my wife and children first. If they are gone, there is no point in me living. Just do as he says and get out of the way."
The enemy agent was pointed at by more than a dozen black gun muzzles, and the strings in his heart were extremely tense. The muzzle of the gun moved closer to the child's forehead, and he roared with scarlet eyes, "Get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way, I will kill him. I will really kill him."
The two-year-old child seemed to sense danger and cried loudly with his mouth open, "Waaaaa!——"
Xie Mubai and others waited for Fu Chengyu's instructions.
Fu Chengyu's eyes were cold and fierce, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura that was full of oppression, making people feel inexplicably frightened.
He slowly raised his hand, and the soldiers made way for the hostage.
In order not to cause trouble for the PLA comrades, Li Jiyue also fled with everyone to the open area at the entrance of the carriage.
When the enemy spies passed by her with hostages, someone suddenly pushed her from behind.
She was caught off guard and fell forward.
The enemy spy holding the hostage was particularly frightened. When he saw her rushing towards him, he immediately pointed his gun at her.
"Bang!--"
A gunshot rang out in the carriage.
The gunshots were extremely loud in the narrow carriage, exploding in everyone's ears as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.
The passengers in the car covered their ears and squatted down screaming, "Ah!——"
