Free Web NovelChapter 1187: Chapter 1186: Maybe She Ran Off with Some Wild Man
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Make way, make way! Everyone move aside!"
From the second carriage, behind them, came urgent shouting, and those who turned back saw rows of black-clad figures, looking fierce and hard to deal with.
They were pushing and jostling, checking the passengers along the way, as if conducting a thorough search.
Search...
Black-clad figures!
And they were coming from the second carriage.
It’s important to know, the second carriage had been reserved by Xia Xi. If someone came out from there, they were either allies or enemies!
Almost in an instant, the two of them felt a chill in their hearts.
Gu Tong almost instinctively put her hand on her belly, letting out a "hiss"!
She was pretending to be pregnant, but inside her belly was hidden a weapon! A life-saving weapon for critical moments, and at this time, a disguise was still necessary.
"Madam, are you alright..." Xia Xi understood her intention.
She supported her waist with one hand, while her other hand rested on Gu Tong’s, tapping twice on the back of her hand as if to signal that unless it was absolutely necessary, they must not use the weapon.
Of course, Gu Tong understood this principle!
The train was full of passengers, and an unexpected incident could happen at any time. Rashly using a weapon would be irresponsible towards the passengers.
Gu Tong was a trainee from Longxing Country and understood this principle even more clearly.
...
"Make way! Everyone, make way!"
The black-clad figures appeared somewhat arrogant, even beginning to rudely shove the passengers, as if they intended to check everyone.
There are always passengers with bad tempers, and one shouted angrily: "Who are you! Everyone is anxious to get off the train! Why should we make way for you!"
The sudden shout expressed the sentiments of everyone, and the passengers began to voice their opinions one after another.
"Yeah! We’re all just passengers; why are you so overbearing, insisting on checking all of us! Are you crazy!"
"Damn! Can’t the train officers do something! If this pushing continues, there’s bound to be a stampede!"
...
The passengers began to stir.
Xia Xi and Gu Tong almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, because, at this moment, no organization would dare to confront the passengers head-on.
After all, what they were doing was all shady, and if they provoked public anger, causing a big scene that attracted the local constables, they would be trapped.
...
The black-clad man frowned, just about to argue back.
Another man with a buzz cut appeared to be more rational. He stepped forward and said, "My brother had a fight with his wife, and in anger, she ran off. We’ve confirmed she is on this train. There’s a newborn back home who needs his mother. If something happens to her, the baby won’t survive. My brother is desperate to find his wife, so we offended you all. Please understand..."
That explanation was faultless!
The buzz cut man conveniently found a reasonable excuse to calm the passengers’ dissatisfaction.
The people in the train weren’t unreasonable, and they felt some sympathy for his brother’s situation.
An elderly woman nearby sighed and said, "When couples fight, you shouldn’t take it out on the kid. A newborn without a mother can’t survive..."
The buzz cut man sighed and said, "Yes... No one expected my sister-in-law to be so harsh... She’s been gone for days, and we’ve nearly run ourselves ragged looking for her..."
A young man in the front row spoke sarcastically, "Maybe she ran off with some other guy and isn’t coming back."
The black-clad man’s face turned livid with anger. Although the wife was an imaginary pretext, the young man’s words were infuriating.
