Chapter 362: Chapter 358: Arresting the Culprits

"Xiao Jiu," Shan Ta motioned for Wen Ran and Shen Yueyue to come forward, "these are the two big girls I brought back, they ran away from arranged marriages."

Xiao Jiu held a child, a fleeting alertness in his eyes.

"What?" Xiao Jiu’s tone was gentle, "Why would good girls run away from marriages? Your parents must be so worried if you’ve run off."

As he spoke, he gave Shan Ta a look.

—’Why did you rashly bring back two strangers?’

—’Picked up two fools on the road, young and pretty, turn them over and sell them for a couple of hundred dollars. Don’t you want that?’

—’I want money, but I want my life more. Are you sure they’re clean, no big trouble for us later?’

—’Relax, I’ve observed for a long time, they’re complete fools.’

—’Alright then.’

Wen Ran and Shen Yueyue, like two fools, didn’t see the exchange of looks between Shan Ta and Xiao Jiu.

Feeling indignant, "Worried? They’re not worried about us sisters, they’re worried that the big fat duck has flown!"

"Exactly, exactly," Shen Yueyue echoed from behind, "they’re so excessive, just for a bit of money!

Disregarding our sisters’ lives, wanting to marry us off to idiots and fools."

Wen Ran corrected, "Not you, it’s Fifth Sister and Third Sister. You’re still young, need to be raised for two more years, then sold."

Shen Yueyue, clueless, "Oh, oh, oh, is it like that?"

"Yes," Wen Ran pointed at herself, "I was going to be married off to a cripple."

"Alright," Xiao Jiu looked at the two young girls, tone kind, "you sisters can follow us, just, along the way, you need to help where you can.

You can’t stand idly by, can you?

There are too many kids, I really can’t handle them."

Xiao Jiu’s words sounded like a complaint, yet also revealed information, "You see, it’s been hard on us as a couple, going back home, still having to help our brother and sister, bringing back their kids.

Took four at once, how could we not be exhausted."

"Oh?!"

Shen Yueyue chuckled, "I was wondering, these four kids don’t look like you at all.

But they’re about the same age, I thought you had quadruplets who didn’t resemble each other."

Wen Ran corrected again, "That’s called quadruplets, not twins."

"Oh, oh, oh," Shen Yueyue looked admiringly, "Sister, you’re amazing, how do you know everything?!"

Wen Ran started to feel smug, though inwardly embarrassed to the core.

Damned it, how long do I have to play this fool role?!

Anyway, the two eventually sat beside Xiao Jiu and Shan Ta.

But these two were quite cautious, with food and drink, if it left their sight, they wouldn’t touch it again.

This habit was good, but it made Wen Ran quite unhappy.

She had wanted to add something to their meals, to drug them for an easy next step.

But...

They weren’t having it.

Wen Ran and Shen Yueyue weren’t anxious. Once they successfully got in, the next step was to wait for the right opportunity.

It’s always the thief that gets away with it for a thousand days, there’s no one who guards against thieves for a thousand days.

Today Wen Ran and Shen Yueyue would be thieves just this once, not believing they wouldn’t find an opportunity.

The two were indeed cautious, but even the most cautious make mistakes.

One slip, and Wen Ran swiftly acted. She struck Shan Ta on the neck, grabbed his arm, ready to dislocate it.

But...

Looks like she didn’t control her strength well, she heard a distinct cracking sound by her ear.

Uh oh.

Looks like it’s broken.

Shen Yueyue was even more fierce, she didn’t understand joints or how to dislocate an arm.

As for finesse?

Sorry, she had brute force.

She decisively slammed Xiao Jiu’s head against the side of the train, a loud thump sounded.

Even if the person wasn’t dead, they’d be half-disabled.

Resolved.

Wen Ran snapped out of her foolish role. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Looking at Shen Yueyue, "Seriously, you hit that hard?"

The commotion drew everyone’s attention, but the conductor and others, who were already lying in wait, weren’t unprepared.

They swarmed over, quickly tying up the two like zongzi, efficiently hauling them away.

As for the four dull, quiet kids, their eyes remained blank.

Wen Ran couldn’t understand what they’d done to the kids, only knowing that those who kidnap should die.

The train’s accompanying doctor seemed quite knowledgeable, approaching to skillfully give the kids some water and a small injection.

Then, quickly evacuating with the kids.

It all took less than three minutes.

Wen Ran and Shen Yueyue also melted into the crowd, vanishing.

On the way, Shen Yueyue nearly laughed herself silly.

"No," Wen Ran said helplessly, "just how hilarious do you find this? You’re acting like a true fool now."

"Hahaha," Shen Yueyue laughed until tears came, "really worth it.

I think, even if I’m stupid now, I’m not as stupid as you were just now.

Honestly, were you truly a fool before? Watching you play a fool, oh wait..."

Shen Yueyue doubled over laughing, "You don’t have to act like a fool, you already embody one perfectly."

Wen Ran: "..."

She lifted her foot, before it reached Shen Yueyue’s backside, she yelled and jumped up.

"Murder!"

Wen Ran gritted her teeth, "Quit pretending! I didn’t even touch you!"

"That’s called hitting a cow through a mountain!"

"Shen Yueyue, believe it or not, I’ll hammer you to death?"

"Hehe, come catch me then!"

Nearby, Hongguo was almost green with envy, "Wahhh, Sister Star, she’s taken my sister away."

"Don’t worry," Xiao Chenxing patted Hongguo’s shoulder, comforting, "as long as we two aren’t dead, Shen Yueyue will never make it to the top!"

"Better not let Shen Yueyue hear that."

Hongguo spoke seriously, "I’m afraid she’ll put some poison in my food..."

Xiao Chenxing: "... Um, probably not, right?"

The two exchanged glances.

Hard to say~

This kid’s got something wrong in the head.

...

The kids were all brought back, except...

Xu Changhe’s child was nowhere to be found.

Er Mei had been overjoyed.

But upon hearing the news, she collapsed immediately, "Impossible! How is it possible, all the kids were found, how could they leave out my nephew!"

She raved, "I know, you must be trying to demand money from us, right?

You greedy people, aren’t you afraid you’ll go to hell for taking this money!"

Everyone: "..."

Being brainless is an illness, it needs treatment!

"The identification is complete, they’re all accomplices."

"Boss, the latest update has arrived, Sun Xiaolian just said there’s still one person missing."

"What?"

"Yes, the missing person was exactly the one with Xu Changhe’s child."
