Xia Liang distracted and restrained one of them, while Xia Rong dealt with the remaining one. Soon, the siblings had everyone down. Xia Rong was about to pull his sister away when he saw Xia Liang standing still and cast a curious glance at her. Xia Liang said coolly, "If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll recover and continue to do evil. If not us, then someone else. So today, we'll give them a painful lesson." Xia Rong looked at the coldness in his sister's eyes, wondering what kind of lesson she planned to teach them. Then, Xia Liang took the steel knife from her hand and stabbed one of the men in the thigh. Just like the human trafficker on the train and Director Zhu's son, both of whom had tried to harm Xia Liang, she had stabbed them in the thigh.
When the brother and sister arrived at the train station, all the goods had already been loaded. The man looked at Xia Liang with displeasure and said, "What are you doing? If you don't have the money, just say so. Don't waste my time with this nonsense." Xia Liang knew she was in the wrong and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I encountered a little accident on my way to get the money and was delayed. I'll give you the money now." As she spoke, she opened her backpack, took out 120,000 yuan, and handed it to the man. The man saw the money and didn't say anything more. He counted the money, confirmed that there was no problem, and then smiled and said, "Boss lady, you're so generous. If you want any more goods in the future, you can come to the village to find me. I can basically get all the goods that can be found on the market." Xia Liang agreed, and the two said goodbye.
After everyone left, Ji Xiao asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, what happened just now?" Xia Liang then told him what had just happened, and Ji Xiao's face turned pale with fright. "It's all my fault. If I had stayed by your side the whole time, those petty thieves wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant. Luckily, you weren't hurt, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to Brother Xiao." Xia Liang smiled and said, "It's alright, it's not your fault. No one would have expected something like this. Besides, you still have to keep an eye on them here. Hurry up and get in the car. Be careful on the way, we'll be extra careful, and so will you." Ji Xiao nodded heavily, "Okay, sister-in-law, Brother Rong, you must be careful. See you in Beijing." After saying that, he turned around and got into the car. The brother and sister watched the train slowly pull away and returned to the guesthouse.
At that moment, in an alley not far from the bank, a young man had just finished get off work and was riding his bicycle home when he saw several people lying haphazardly in the alley, with blood flowing on the ground. He was instantly terrified and screamed, almost falling off his bicycle. He wobbled as he rode his bicycle to the nearby police station. After explaining the situation, the police officers immediately rushed to the scene. They found five middle-aged men lying there and quickly took them to the hospital. Fortunately, none of them had any life-threatening injuries; they had just lost a lot of blood, and after some bandaging, the bleeding was stopped. When the men woke up, the police officers approached them and asked, "What happened to you guys? Why were you injured and lying in the alley? Who hurt you? And why did they stab you?" The men were bewildered by the police's questions. At first, they thought the other two had called the police, but seeing that the police didn't know either, they felt relieved. One of them, the mastermind, said, "We were drinking and playing cards at home. The loser stabbed himself in the thigh. I got carried away and stabbed him pretty hard." Although the story was a bit far-fetched, the police had no choice but to believe it. After all, no one would want to help the culprit if they didn't want to catch them. In the end, the men were given a lecture by the police and then released. They bought standing tickets and went back to their hometown that night. It was also their stupidity. If they had been smarter, they would have realized that Xia Liang and her brother were probably involved in something shady, since they hadn't dared to report the robbery.
Xia Liang and her brother were on their way back to Beijing from Guangzhou. Although the trip had been a bit thrilling, it had been very rewarding. To avoid having to come to Guangzhou so often, Xia Liang had already made arrangements with several of her suppliers. They agreed that they would send her samples of any new products they wanted, and she could call to place an order if she liked them. Payment would be transferred directly to them. All the suppliers were happy to do business with such a big customer, so they readily agreed and gave her their phone numbers, eagerly awaiting her call.
Upon arriving at the Beijing train station, Xia Liang spotted Ji Xiao from afar. He was with the same group of people who had helped move the goods last time; everyone except the one who had helped watch the shop was there. Young and strong men work quickly, loading the goods onto the freight truck in no time. The group then headed to Xia Liang's house in a large procession. As usual, Xia Liang treated them to a meal. After Ji Xiao's friends left, he anxiously asked Xia Liang, "Sister-in-law, did anything else happen?" Xia Liang shook her head and smiled, saying, "That's so unlucky, always running into us." Hearing that everything was alright, Ji Xiao was relieved, but he still said, "If you ever go to Guangzhou, sister-in-law, take Wen with you. Wen has trained since childhood; dealing with ordinary people shouldn't be a problem." Xia Liang nodded in agreement, but it was impossible to really take him every time; after all, everyone has their own life. Ji Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao asked me to tell you to call him when you get back. I told him about what happened in Yangcheng." Xia Liang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call him in a bit. Let's discuss the TV first. How about selling it for 1,000 yuan a set? No receipt required." Ji Xiao nodded, "That's fine, sister-in-law. A TV set costs about 700 or 800 yuan now, and you also need a TV ticket. If we don't ask for a receipt, it should sell better. I'll contact my friend. He's a middleman in this area. There's no stock he can't handle. We can just sell it to him and save us the trouble of finding a market." Hearing that someone could take it all at once, Xia Liang was even happier. After all, the source of this item wasn't exactly honorable, and she didn't dare keep it in her hands for too long.
After Ji Xiao left, Xia Liang went out to call Gu Yanxiao. It took a while for Gu Yanxiao's voice to come through: "Wife, are you alright? Are you hurt? Are you back yet?" Hearing his barrage of questions, Xia Liang couldn't help but laugh, "Which question should I answer first?" But she still answered them one by one with a smile, after all, he was concerned about her: "We're both fine. I'm in the alley near our house now. Don't worry about me. If we go again, I'll bring a few more people with me." Gu Yanxiao's voice was hoarse as he said, "Every time you're in danger, I can't be by your side. The human traffickers on the train, and the Zhu family incident—I can't imagine what would happen if something happened to you?" Xia Liang didn't see Gu Yanxiao's red eyes. She smiled and said, "It's not your fault. If I had married you and stayed home peacefully, I wouldn't have encountered such things. It's because I've always wanted to do what I love that I've gone through so much trouble. I was mentally prepared for this kind of thing long ago." Yes! If she hadn't been mentally prepared, how could she have brought a knife and pepper spray?
