Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Lei Guohong and the old lady were stunned for a moment.

"Comrade, can you really help me find my things?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, then rushed to Chang Kun and grabbed his sleeve tightly.

"That money and food coupons are our family's lifeline. Thank you in advance, young comrade."

The old woman, with tears streaming down her face, recounted her family's hardships: her husband was seriously ill, her son was injured and lame, her daughter-in-law had just given birth, and her ten-year-old grandson was crying from hunger...

"Alright, stop crying. Don't talk big, apprentice!" Lei Guohong blocked the old lady's view and winked at Chang Kun.

He was afraid that his new apprentice, unaware of the immensity of the world, would readily agree to help find the money and tickets just because he felt sorry for the old woman.

If he can't find his things, he shouldn't be blamed by the old lady. It would be a mess on Chang Kun's very first day at work.

Chang Kun waved his hand, offered a cigarette to Lei Guohong, turned around and looked around at all the thieves in the waiting room through the sensors, then observed the front and back exits of the waiting room. He thought to himself that as long as the front and back exits were blocked, these thieves would be trapped like turtles in a jar.

Seeing Chang Kun's calm demeanor, Lei Guohong took a deep drag on his cigarette, intending to continue persuading him.

Seeing the old woman's pitiful state, he found her some food, which was already considered kind of him. But he couldn't even find her money and food coupons, let alone his new apprentice.

At this moment, Hou Jun returned, panting heavily.

"Master, I've bought the cornbread."

Lei Guohong glared at him irritably: "Why are you giving this to me? Don't you have any sense of propriety!"

Chang Kun wouldn't listen to advice, but he was, after all, a new apprentice who had just arrived, and the two weren't familiar with each other, so he was too embarrassed to scold him. The monkey came up and took the opportunity to scold him.

Hou Jun rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I ran there and ran back, and instead of praising me, you scolded me."

"Hey you little monkey, talking back now!" Lei Guohong waved his hand, telling him to quickly give the cornbread to the old lady.

Hou Jun chuckled and moved closer to the old lady: "Grandma, hurry up and eat some of this cornbread, you can barely stand up."

"Kind people, kind leaders, thank you so much." The old lady didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a cornbread and took a big bite; she was so hungry she had no strength left.

Chang Kun was truly impressed; the way the old lady ate her cornbread was even more delicious than Xiu'er eating pig's head meat.

You should know that the cornbread only contains a little cornmeal, and the rest is all mixed with corn flour. It either gets stuck in your throat or makes your throat feel rough. Swallowing it feels like swallowing sawdust.

The old woman wolfed down half a cornbread, carefully put the rest away, and looked at Chang Kun with hopeful eyes: "Young comrade, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lei Guohong interrupted her: "Grandma, we've given you the cornbread. As for your money and food coupons, we don't have a good solution. We can only wait until the thief is caught. You should think of another way now."

He was afraid that Chang Kunzhen would agree to help the old lady find her money and food coupons. Of course, it would be best if he could find them, but in his experience, most things lost at the station or waiting room could not be recovered.

Hou Jun, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Grandma, it's not that we don't want to help, but this really can't be rushed. Those thieves are really hard to catch..."

The old woman was sweating profusely with anxiety: "But, but this young comrade said..."

Seeing that the two older police officers said this, the old lady's tears flowed again. Her whole family was counting on these money to save their lives. Thinking of her grandson who was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to cry, she was almost in despair.

Hou Jun turned to Chang Kun: "Junior brother, what's going on?"

"Brother Monkey, I just want to catch the thief and find what the old lady lost." Chang Kun corrected Hou Jun's way of addressing him several times, but Hou Jun still called him junior brother. Chang Kun was too lazy to care anymore. Fortunately, most people didn't know that the second junior brother was Pigsy.

Upon hearing this, Hou Jun put his arm around Chang Kun's shoulder and said, "Junior brother, I know you mean well, but these pickpockets active at the station are all very shrewd. They're not so easy to catch."

Then, turning to Lei Guohong, he said, "Master, aren't you going to stop them?"

Lei Guohong snorted, "Look at him, he just started working and he's already trying to show off, we can't stop him!"

Chang Kun smiled slightly: "Don't be in such a hurry. I've already spotted several thieves. Let's catch them first."

"What?"

"What?!"

Lei Guohong and Hou Jun, master and apprentice, stared wide-eyed at Chang Kun.

This new kid, how come he's so arrogant?

He not only told the old lady that he had caught the thief and recovered her belongings, but he still spoke to the two old policemen in the same tone.

"Hey kid, don't talk nonsense. Don't use your police status to arrest people randomly. If you arrest someone with connections, we won't be able to handle it." Lei Guohong thought Chang Kun wanted to use the police force to arrest a few people and squeeze some money out of them.

These days, the police aren't so strict. If they suspect you of something, they'll arrest you and interrogate you. If it's serious, they'll even torture you.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people without power or influence. When they encounter officials with status, they will naturally receive different treatment.

Hou Jun distanced himself slightly from Chang Kun, looking at Chang Kun with suspicion.

"What are you thinking? We're the police, how can we arrest people randomly!" Chang Kun said, both amused and exasperated, but after a few words, he still couldn't quite believe the two men.

"Let me tell you this: before I came to the Railway Public Security Bureau, I arrested four or five enemy agents."

This statement was even more surprising than Chang Kun's claim that he would catch a thief at the train station to help the old lady get her money back.

The master and apprentice stared wide-eyed at Chang Kun, their mouths agape. After a long pause, Lei Guohong stammered, "You...you're not kidding, are you? Four or five enemy agents?"

These days, catching one or two enemy spies can earn you a commendation, so catching four or five enemy spies would surely get you a promotion, right? How come you ended up working as a security officer in the railway police department?

"Junior brother, you're exaggerating a bit too much. It's not true at all. You should learn from your senior brother how to brag more in the future." Hou Jun shook his head, looking like he knew Chang Kun inside and out.

"If you don't believe me, fine. You can go to the Gulou Police Station and ask them later. Let's catch the thief first."

Seeing Chang Kun's indifferent attitude, the master and apprentice were also somewhat skeptical.

"Junior brother, let's put that aside for now. Tell me, how do you plan to catch the thief?"

"That's simple. Just block the front and back entrances of the waiting room to prevent the thieves from escaping, and you can catch them one by one."

Seeing how simple Chang Kun made it sound, the master and apprentice were stunned again. How could there be such a naive young man? How could a thief be caught so easily?

In the past, they would work in groups of two or three to catch a thief, and they would occasionally get injured.

You know, being a thief these days isn't so easy; it's a skill passed down through generations. Picking up soap from boiling water, scooping up coins from hot oil—you have to practice from a young age.

Territory was fought for, and brawls were commonplace. Those who could operate as thieves around the train station were elite thieves, often possessing some martial arts skills.

Hearing Chang Kun speak so frivolously about catching thieves, Lei Guohong felt a pang of regret. Had he known that Chang Kun was such an unreliable young man, he wouldn't have wanted to take him on as an apprentice.
