Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 136 Danger at Night
A group of people catching a red-eye flight had just passed security and were trotting towards the boarding gate, dragging their luggage of all sizes.

Xie Bingran walked quickly against the direction of the crowd to the security check, went out from the outermost exit, and returned to the departure hall.

This is the domestic departure hall. It’s already past ten o’clock in the evening and there are only a few people here.

Xie Bingran turned around for several times before finding a staff member and asked how to get to the China Southern Airlines service counter.

Even though she was the fearless "Bing Ge", she was still a little girl who had gone out so far for the first time...

She tightened the backpack behind her and jogged all the way, finally reaching the service desk.

"Hello, I missed my flight and need to reschedule."...

The China Southern Airlines staff member on duty late at night took the boarding pass and asked Xie Bingran which flight she wanted to change to.

That was a flight at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Xie Bingran already knew that Xu Chen was on that flight.

For some clear purposes, unfinished business, and some inexplicable emotions...

She deliberately missed her flight, and just happened to meet Xu Chen again tomorrow morning.

The China Southern Airlines employee operated the computer for a while and said:
"Change fee, four hundred and eighty-five..."

Xie Bingran frowned, as if he was thinking and calculating in his mind.

She put her right hand in her coat pocket and gently snapped her fingers...

“Is there a bank nearby?”

“There is an ATM machine near the northeast gate of the departure hall, but it is under maintenance during the day, so I don’t know if it can be used now.

Then go down to the first floor, go out of Gate A17, turn right, and walk 24 meters to find a China Merchants Bank with a -hour cash machine. ”

"What time do you get off work here?"

“We have people on duty 24 hours a day, but if you want to change your flight, we recommend you do it as soon as possible.

There will still be passengers booking tickets through travel agencies and other channels at night. I am afraid that if you come again tomorrow morning, there may be no seats on this flight. "

……

Xie Bingran quickly went to the northeast gate of the departure hall. The ATM there was blocked by a fence and had a white piece of paper saying "Under Repair" posted on it.

The elevators and escalators were closed, so she could only walk down the escalator quickly.

Finally arrived at the first floor, which is the "Arrival Hall" of the terminal.

There weren't many people and there was a convenience store open.

It’s quite a distance from Gate A3 in front of me to Gate A17.

It was no longer as bright outside as inside the terminal. There were several buses parked at the door, and one or two taxis coming and going occasionally.

The night wind was a little chilly, so Xie Bingran zipped up his jacket to the collar.

Turn right and walk about a hundred meters, and you will see the "24h ATM" sign.

Xie Bingran breathed a sigh of relief and pushed open the iron door.

She walked to the ATM and took off the brown leather bag behind her.

He unzipped the outermost layer and took out a wallet from the side pocket of the lining.

I took out my only bank card and put it into the ATM...

The sound of a machine counting money came from the distance. Xie Bingran pursed her lips and said nothing, then took two envelopes from the table next to her.

With a "swipe" sound, the lid of the ATM opened, revealing a thick stack of money.

He reached out, took it out, and counted it quickly, and it was exactly ten thousand yuan.

She stuffed the ten thousand yuan into an envelope and clicked the withdrawal button again.

……

A few minutes later, Xie Bingran had two heavy, bulging envelopes in his hands.

I also withdrew an extra 500 yuan, which I would need to change my ticket later, and stuffed it into my trouser pocket.

She finally smiled and put the two thick envelopes into the backpack, at the innermost and bottom.

She was about to turn around and go out when the door behind her was suddenly opened with a bang!
Two middle-aged men rushed in, looking anxious and fierce:

"Take out the money! Quickly!"

One of them was holding a switchblade...

Bing Ge's expression suddenly froze. She quickly put the backpack on her back and tightened the shoulder straps as much as possible.

Make sure the backpack fits snugly against your back and does not restrict your movements.

She quickly glanced around and at the same time, held the only hard object on her body with her right hand, the mobile phone that Xu Chen gave her.

……

Two men with fierce looks on the opposite side blocked the slightly narrow tempered glass door.

The man in front was holding a butterfly knife. He saw that the little girl opposite him was not afraid at all, and even looked ruthless.

This surprised him, but as he was already a desperado, he no longer cared about anything.

"Hurry up and take out the money! I saw your two envelopes!
Hurry up! Don't force me to do it!"

Xie Bingran was still standing there, her head slightly lowered, her back slightly arched, like a leopard ready to pounce...

"I just want your money, and I don't want to make a big deal out of it!"

The man opposite glanced at the monitor above his head and knew that he didn't have much time.

He suddenly looked ruthless, shouted softly, and pounced on the girl in front of him with a knife in his hand!
The two figures overlapped for a moment.

There was a muffled sound.

Then there was a scream...

The person blocking the door didn't even see what was going on.

When he looked again, he found that his accomplice was already kneeling on the ground.

The butterfly knife in his hand had already fallen into the hands of the little girl opposite, and one of his arms was being tightly grasped by the little girl with one hand.

The little girl gritted her teeth and said nothing.

There was a "crack" sound, followed by a scream of pain, and the man's arm went limp.

He collapsed to the ground in pain, one arm limp and one leg bent unreasonably. The man blocking the door realized that he had run into a ruthless person and turned around to pull the door open to escape.

Unexpectedly, before he could turn around, he saw a dark shadow suddenly approaching.

Then he felt someone grabbing his head, and his face hit his knees uncontrollably.

……

……

The two "gangsters" had fallen to the ground.

One of them fainted, and the other fell to the ground holding his arms and legs, looking up at the girl in sportswear with fear in his eyes.

Xie Bingran raised her hand to lift the strands of hair on her forehead, then stepped on one of the man's legs to make sure he couldn't move.

Then he took out his cell phone and called the police...

This was still 2006, and self-service banks and ATMs everywhere did not have the multiple layers of protection that they would have a dozen or twenty years later.

Besides, it was late at night, and the person who took the money was just a weak-looking little girl...

In less than a minute, two policemen rushed in and quickly controlled the two villains.

They briefly inquired about the situation and took the butterfly knife from Xie Bingran.

The two uncles in hats looked at the little girl in front of them and felt it was incredible.

All three were taken to the police station at the airport. Xie Bingran first followed a female police officer and underwent a simple inspection and record-keeping.

The two police officers quickly retrieved the bank’s surveillance footage, and after seeing the contents of the footage clearly, they looked at each other in surprise.

Two armed thugs were knocked down by this young girl in just a few moves? !
The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and there is nothing to doubt or discuss.

The two villains were quickly taken into custody. The case was not difficult to handle, but both of them had some injuries and were being arranged for treatment.

Xie Bingran sat casually on the bench outside.

She lowered her head slightly, and her shaggy hair covered her gloomy and cold eyes.

Two police officers came out and one of them said:

"Xie Xuexue, you are a girl after all, so you should pay attention to your safety when you go to withdraw money so late at night."

"Oh."

"You're waiting for a flight tomorrow morning, right? Where are you staying tonight?"

"I'll just wait at the airport."

The two policemen looked at each other, their expressions still somewhat complicated.

“Then go to the north area of the terminal hall, which is the concentrated waiting area at night.

There are always patrols, it's safer, and there are hot water and toilets."

"Thank you."

"It's okay. Just sign one more thing and I'll take you there."

……

Xie Bingran had to go change her flight first, so two police officers sent her back to the terminal and accompanied her there.

The staff at the China Southern Airlines counter were slightly startled when they saw two police officers coming over.

Xie Bingran handed over the boarding pass and explained the request for rebooking again.

When the China Southern Airlines staff handed over the new boarding pass, Xie Bingran confirmed the flight information on it, but couldn't help but smile.

……

A few minutes later, two police officers took Xie Bingran to the night rest area in the terminal hall.

There were six or seven passengers sitting or lying on several rows of benches, resting.

We were all waiting for a flight the next morning, but we were reluctant to spend two or three hundred dollars to stay in a hotel, so we just stayed here for the night.

Xie Bingran thanked and said goodbye to the two police officers, then went to an empty bench alone.

The other passengers who were resting opened their eyes and glanced at Xie Bingran with a hint of confusion, but soon closed their eyes and dozed off again.

Xie Bingran sat on the bench without saying a word, holding his cowhide backpack to his chest.

She fished out a protein bar from the side pocket of her backpack, tore open the wrapper, and began to chew it in big bites.

……

……

at the same time.

The plane from the provincial capital has landed.

The passengers packed their bags and lined up to get off the plane.

Teacher Tian Fangfang, who was sitting in the last row, was also the last to leave the cabin.

Tian Chaorui was waiting outside, and when they met, she said:
"Teacher Tian, Bing missed her flight. I just saw the text message she sent me, saying that she has changed her flight to tomorrow morning..."

"what?!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tian. I fell asleep on the plane and didn't notice she didn't come up. When I woke up just now, I thought Bing had gone to the bathroom...

I just saw the message when I turned on my phone."

Tian Fangfang was stunned and looked panicked.

But she quickly calmed down, took out her phone and turned it on.

After getting a signal, he also saw Xie Bingran's text message.

She was a little annoyed, but she suppressed her emotions and called Xie Bingran.

But she did not show any annoyance. After all, she did not notice that Xie Bingran was alone, and as the team leader, she was also responsible.

Tian Fangfang asked Xie Bingran about the situation, whether she was safe tonight, and her flight information tomorrow morning.

Xie Bingran did not mention the danger he had just experienced. He only said that he would spend the night at the airport and take a flight to the provincial capital tomorrow morning.

"Be sure to be safe. I'll tell the driver to pick you up at the airport tomorrow at noon."

　I have a fever. I am still writing, but I may not be able to post it in the evening.
