False evidence

Chapter 61 The Republic of China Train (Part 2)

Bai Jing didn't specify what Lü Xin did, but she repeatedly emphasized that he was more attractive than the average woman.

This feels very strange to me.

Bai Jing isn't a chatterbox, nor does she seem like a lovesick girl, so why is she praising a man's appearance like that?

Back then, trains weren't as fast as they are now. A journey of over a thousand kilometers would take nearly two days and two nights.

Chen Zudao and Lü Xin were good friends; otherwise, they wouldn't have traveled together. He was also an old acquaintance of Zhao Boqing.

When you meet an old friend in a foreign land, both of you are naturally overjoyed.

Everyone thought the trip would be enjoyable, but no one expected that two unexpected incidents would occur that very night.

Zhao Boqing's wife went to the toilet and had just taken off her clothes when the door was violently kicked open.

The one who slammed the door was a tall, burly foreigner.

The foreigner, who had been cursing, immediately widened his eyes when he saw a beautiful Eastern woman in front of him, half-undressed. After a moment, still reeking of alcohol and joking, he reached out his hairy hand to grab the woman.

The woman had never experienced such a scene before and was so frightened that she cried out incessantly.

Fortunately, Lü Xin happened to be passing by and rushed forward to stop them.

The drunken foreigner, his plans ruined, became enraged and beat him.

Lu Xin was just as tall as him, but he never fought back; he simply tried his best to shield the woman behind him.

Chen Zudao and Zhao Boqing rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and after understanding the situation, they were both furious.

In reality, given their physiques, the foreigner was completely terrified the moment they arrived. Even his companion who had rushed over didn't dare to step forward.

"You bastards, how dare you hit my brothers! I'll take your lives!"

Chen Zudao roared like a thunderclap.

The two foreigners were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Seeing his newlywed wife being insulted, Zhao Boqing could not bear it any longer. He immediately flipped his palms over and slapped them onto the heads of the two foreigners.

"Brother Zhao, you mustn't!"

As soon as he heard the dissuasion, Zhao Boqing felt a numbness in his left arm.

He was a martial artist and knew he had been struck in the nerve endings, so he quickly withdrew his left hand. When he saw who had 'ambushed' him, he was stunned.

It was Lü Xin who made the move!

Lu Xin not only flung his left arm away, but also grabbed his right wrist with one hand, managing to hold his powerful right arm above the foreigner's head!

"Why are you stopping me?!" Zhao Boqing was both surprised and angry.

He never expected that Lü Xin, who looked somewhat effeminate, could so easily block his fatal double strike.

Lu Xin shook his head slightly at him, "Don't cause trouble when you're out and about." At the same time, he gave him and Chen Zudao a wink.

No sooner had he finished speaking than several police officers in black uniforms rushed over.

Upon seeing the scene, the train police officers immediately pointed their guns at Zhao Boqing and the others without saying a word.

Two other men, dressed in black, went over in a state of fear and trepidation to help the two foreigners up.

Chen Zudao, a member of the thieves' guild, was more astute than Zhao Boqing. He knew that given the current situation, continuing the commotion would only lead to dire consequences. Seeing Lü Xin winking at him, he quickly dragged Zhao Boqing away by force.

At that time, most of the "black-skinned dogs" were foreign lackeys. Although Zhao Boqing and others were victims, in the end, it was Lü Xin who intervened and bribed people to barely settle the matter.

Back in the carriage, Zhao Boqing's wife cried incessantly, while Zhao Boqing himself continued to curse and swear. When Lü Xin returned, he gave him a cold shoulder. Lü Xin merely nodded slightly to him, then turned and bowed halfway to his wife.
"Although it's true that when you're traveling, it's better to avoid trouble, a sister-in-law is like a mother, and a woman's reputation should not be tarnished. Lü Xin swore by the lamplight that once they arrived in Guangzhou, those two foreigners would no longer need to eat or drink, let alone go to the toilet."

He spoke earnestly, but a smile remained on his lips the entire time.

The woman's eyes were swollen from crying, but when she met his gaze and saw the smile on his lips, she was momentarily stunned.

Although Zhao Boqing had a fiery temper, once he calmed down, he realized that if Lü Xin hadn't considered the bigger picture, even if he had killed two foreigners, he would have been imprisoned.

Hearing Lu Xin's respectful words and the solemn oath he had made, his anger subsided considerably. "Brother Lu, I misjudged you. It turns out you're also a martial artist! May I ask which school you belong to?"

Lu Xin smiled again, pointed at Chen Zu, and said, "No one knows my background better than Brother Zu. Now..."

He suddenly leaned close to Zhao Boqing's ear and quickly whispered two sentences in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Whether it was because he had just been hit or something else, after he said those two sentences, Zhao Boqing and the others felt that his cheeks were flushed red, almost as if they were about to bleed.

Zhao Boqing was stunned for a moment, then, regaining his senses, he waved his hand forcefully and said gruffly to his wife:
"Go take care of your business. I don't believe those two bastards would dare to mess with you again, unless they're really tired of living!"

Zhao Boqing was a bit of a martial arts fanatic. He always thought that even if Lü Xin was a member of the martial arts world, he was weak in appearance and even if he had some martial arts skills, he was not good enough for him.

But the two moves Lü Xin made to stop him just now made him look at him with new respect.

He was eager to know Lü Xin's connections, but seeing that Lü Xin refused to tell him, he kept asking Chen Zudao.

Lu Xin was observant. Thinking back to the commotion earlier, he realized that his new sister-in-law probably hadn't been able to relieve herself. She had kindly reminded Zhao Boqing, but the man had gone too far with his crudeness.

Seeing the woman's embarrassed expression, Lü Xin secretly shook his head and said to Chen Zudao:
"The night is still long, and it's too boring to just chat like this. I'll go to the dining car and buy some food and drinks, and we can talk all night long."

Women are also very perceptive; they knew that Lü Xin did this to take care of himself.

She was also holding back her anger, so she could only silently blame her husband in her heart, and quietly got up and followed Lu Xin towards the dining car.

……

At this point, Bai Jing paused on the table with her wine glass: "Have you all eaten?"

Meng Chao and I were both taken aback. Meng Chao clicked his tongue and said, "You're full, huh... Hey, what's next? What happened next? Keep telling us!"

Bai Jing smiled and shook her head: "That's all."

"That's it?" I was both amused and exasperated, thinking to myself, "Are you deliberately making fun of us two brothers?"

Bai Jing seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly saying:
“I know I’m not good at telling stories. But this story really does end here.”

"Sister, are you kidding us? This is so vague and keeps us in suspense!" Meng Chao stared blankly.

Bai Jing stood up, casually picked up her purse, and said to me, "I'm too lazy to take a taxi, you can drive me."

Once in the car, I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw Meng Chao staring long-faced at the passenger seat.

"Attorney Bai, that was a brilliant move! Are you still angry that my buddy talked about you behind your back? You're too ruthless. You'll ruin his life so badly he won't be able to sleep for three to five days!"

Bai Jing leaned back in her seat expressionlessly, and only spoke after the car had entered the main road:

"Of course, the story doesn't end here, but I suddenly feel that if I want to explain some things to you, it would be best to take you to meet someone."

"Who is it?" I asked, somewhat reluctantly.

The main reason is that the 'story' she just told wasn't very appealing to me.

Bai Jing turned to look at me, and suddenly a playful smile appeared on her face:

"You don't need to look so gloomy. I believe that once you meet that person, you won't regret it. Because he is truly a very, very interesting person."
