Chapter 5

Bai Yan’s brows were filled with joy.

She counted the amount, both in decimal and in whole numbers.

After a detailed calculation, it turned out to be two hundred and thirty-two yuan.

Since Chief Engineer Meng just casually threw it into his pocket, you can’t blame her for taking it herself.

Besides, she didn’t buy it for free.

She stayed up all night yesterday and helped him translate all the contents on the drawings, and left them to him in the form of a handwritten copy.

For a first-class translator like herself, if she were to charge according to her usual fees, she would have lost money on this deal.

Having made up her mind, Bai Yan squeezed out of the crack in the door.

Taking advantage of Meng Hechuan’s nap, he quickly slipped into the hard seat carriage with the most people.

After running through nearly ten carriages, the sun finally came out and the crowd crowded at the connection between the carriages was pushing and shoving for a toilet seat.

There were seats for the conductors in the front carriage. She walked through the crowd and looked at the timetable hanging on the wall of the carriage.

This green train starts from Jinling, heads north, passes through five provinces and eight cities, and finally reaches Jingzhou.

Her target is also Jingzhou.

But she had to get off the bus first, get away from Meng Hechuan, then buy a new ticket and take the next bus to Jingzhou.

Having made up her mind, Bai Yan stepped into the new carriage again.

He looked around for a while, then found someone nearby and asked, “Hello, comrade, do you know where the next stop is?”

Before she could hear a reply, an old lady standing next to her stood up suddenly, blocking Bai Yan’s view like a wall.

“We are not train conductors, how do we know where the next stop is?”

“Go away, don’t come near us.”

Bai Yan frowned, glanced at him, and said nothing, thinking.

At this time, a man with tears on his face came over from the front and said, “Little comrade, where is your destination?”

Bai Yan smiled and said, “I’m just asking casually. It’s okay if you don’t know. Thank you.”

She moved her body and pretended to leave.

But the man standing in front of him didn’t move out of the way.

“It’s okay. I take this bus often and I’m very familiar with the route. Just tell me where you want to go and I’ll even know the time and minute it will stop. By the way, little girl, you’re so young, why are you traveling so far alone?”

Seeing the man approaching her with ill intentions, Bai Yan hurriedly tried to step back.

But before he took a few steps, his back bumped into someone.

She turned around and saw a tall and thin man also blocking her way.

Bai Yan’s heart trembled slightly, and she clenched the ten fingers at her sides tightly, until the knuckles turned white.

At that moment, the train whistle sounded a long blast, and the train slowly drove into the Yanzhou station.

The crowd suddenly started moving. Some were moving their packages from the luggage rack, while others were crowding to the door to get off the bus.

During the shoving and pushing, no one noticed that the man had already grabbed Bai Yan’s arm and said, “Little girl, don’t you have a seat? Come, I’ll give you my seat.”

The man was very strong, and he was not as measured as Meng Hechuan.

The sharp nails had already dug into Bai Yan’s flesh.

She hissed, endured the pain, and struggled to get up.

But that group of people were obviously used to doing this kind of thing and they cooperated very well.

She had just been pushed into the seat by the man when the skinny man came close to her and hugged Bai Yan’s shoulders.

The skinny man had a sour smell as if he hadn’t taken a shower for several days. Bai Yan dry-heaved a few times and tried to push him away, and was about to shout.

Suddenly I felt a chill on my waist.

She lowered her eyes and saw a knife pressed against it.

“Don’t move. If you don’t want to be stabbed in the back, just be quiet!”

Bai Yan shrank imperceptibly and shut her mouth wisely.

The train has docked, the doors have been opened, and the crowd who want to get off is moving slowly along the line.

Bai Yan pursed her lips and said calmly: “Brother, I got on the train with my fiancé. I just came out to buy breakfast. If he wakes up and can’t see me, he will call the police.”

The man sat down opposite Bai Yan, and he reached out to touch his face and wiped away the water droplets.

He looked at Bai Yan and smiled sinisterly, “Don’t pretend. I’ve been following you all the way. I saw you came from several carriages alone.”

Bai Yan didn’t expect that she had been targeted for a long time, and her face became increasingly ugly.

“I was originally thinking of some way to trick you into coming here, but I didn’t expect you to fall into my trap.”

Bai Yan ignored the man’s words and shifted her gaze to the right in confusion.

I saw a crying girl.

“Be quiet and stop crying!”

The trafficker had little patience and was afraid that she would get into trouble if she cried too loudly, so he warned her in a low voice: “If you cry again, I will kill you first.”

‘Be quiet’

Bai Yan does not have a hypocritical heart of a saint, nor is she overly sympathetic.

She couldn’t even protect herself, so she had no time to comfort others.

The reason why I used lip movements was because I was afraid that the little girl in front of me who was shaking like a sieve would be exposed.

If you provoke these people, you will suffer the consequences.

The man also noticed her gaze and smiled slyly, “You are pretty, good-looking, and courageous, you are many times better than the one next to you.”

Bai Yan looked him in the eye without fear, trying to appear calm. “Brother, my fiancé is really on this train. He loves me to death and he’s a big shot. If he knew you kidnapped me, he would go crazy and come after you.”

The man opposite didn’t believe it, but his accomplice was a little hesitant, “This girl is so sure, could it be true…”

After all, we are doing something that involves walking on the edge of a knife, so caution is a must.

A cold light flashed in the man’s eyes, and he suddenly stood up and said, “Let’s get off the car too!”

Bai Yan was sandwiched between the group of people as she walked towards the car door, her palms starting to sweat.

The wet feeling made her even more uneasy.

She tried to grit her teeth and force herself to calm down. She calculated the timing and when her feet just stepped on the platform, Bai Yan suddenly squatted down, grabbed the man’s hand and bit it.

But she had been running away since last night, and her body was exhausted and her calves were weak.

The bite just now didn’t hurt the man at all, but made him more alert.

In order to conceal his tracks and better control Bai Yan, the man directly put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms, “Wife, can I make you so happy when I get home?”

The conductor standing at the door took a quick glance and thought they were just a family talking, so he didn’t pay any attention.

The man dragged Bai Yan towards the platform exit. Her shoulders were swollen from the pressure and she was no longer able to struggle.

Suddenly, Bai Yan, who was almost in despair, spotted a tall and familiar figure in the carriage.
