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

Chang Kun brushed aside the cigarette, too lazy to say anything more to him, and turned to look at Hong Sanbing.

"Master Hong, the thief has been caught. I won't be involved in the interrogation and handover. I'll head back now."

Hong Sanbing grabbed his arm: "Don't rush off, let's have a meal together later."

"No need for a meal, my wife is still waiting in the carriage." Chang Kun smiled. "We can chat again when you're done with your work."

Hong Sanbing thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright! We need to interrogate these thieves quickly to prevent them from colluding. I'll come back to you for a chat after I've sorted this out."

Chang Kun waved his hand and turned to walk towards the sleeper car.

I could still hear the whispers of the passengers behind me.

"Which organization does this young man work for? He's really got some skills!"

"Didn't you see the look in his eyes just now? The moment he stood there, even a thief would be completely terrified!"

"In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen someone catch a thief like this..."

Chang Kun didn't stop walking; he passed through carriage after carriage and pushed open the door to his sleeper compartment.

Cheng Min was looking out the window at the scenery when she heard the noise. She turned around, looked Chang Kun up and down, and seeing that he was alright, her eyes curved into crescents: "Did you catch the thief?"

"Of the eight thieves, not one escaped."

Cheng Min's eyes lit up, and she moved closer to him: "Tell me quickly, how did you catch it?"

Chang Kun leaned back on the bed, put his arm around her shoulder, and started telling her what had just happened.

When the old woman revealed too much and the thief took hostages, Cheng Min gripped his hand tightly, her palms sweating.

Speaking of deterring thieves, Cheng Min's eyes widened: "You just stare at him like that, and he can't move?"

"Yeah! That kid's a coward, he'll go soft if you scare him a little." Chang Kun said casually, breathing into Cheng Min's ear, "Your man is still the toughest."

"Pah!" Cheng Min blushed and slapped away Chang Kun's lecherous hand. "You're just bragging!"

"Don't believe me? Want to test its hardness now!" Chang Kun pretended to stand up, which frightened Cheng Min into begging for mercy.

"Good brother, stop fooling around, continue telling the story of catching the thief."

When the story of spraying capsaicin in the toilet came up, Cheng Min laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, burying her head in his shoulder and shaking with laughter.

"The two thieves rushed out of the toilet, covering their faces and rolling around on the floor like pigs being slaughtered..."

The two laughed and joked for a while, and then the sky outside the window slowly darkened.

Cheng Min leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I knew you were going to catch a thief, I was so worried about you."

"What are you worried about? Your man is amazing!"

"You're just bragging!" Cheng Min said, but her small hand gripped Chang Kun's fingers tightly.

Chang Kun lowered his head and kissed her forehead without saying a word.

The train rattled along, and the two of them leaned against each other, neither wanting to move.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door.

"Chang Kun? That's me, Red Third Soldier."

Chang Kun got up and opened the door. Hong Sanbing stood at the door, followed by two other people: Xiao Li and a middle-aged strong man in a railway uniform, all smiling.

The middle-aged, burly man smiled and extended his hand: "Comrade Chang Kun, don't you recognize me? Hahaha..."

"I am Gao Jin. We met on that train in Northeast China. You even helped me catch the human traffickers."

"Train conductor, how could I forget you!" Chang Kun hurriedly stepped out of the carriage and greeted him warmly.

Gao Jin grasped his hand and shook it forcefully: "I heard about what happened just now from Sanbing. There were eight thieves, and none of them escaped. They even rescued the kidnapped women."

"Comrade Chang Kun, you've been a huge help to me!"

"Train conductor, you're too kind. I couldn't possibly ignore this opportunity."

"Come on, let's not talk by the door." Gao Jin glanced into the carriage. "Your sister-in-law is here too, right? Let's go to the dining car together. I asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes. We can eat and chat."

Hearing the commotion, Cheng Min also came out of the carriage, a little embarrassed: "Train conductor, I can't accept this..."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Chang Kun helped me clean the termites out of the train, so it's only right that I treat him to a meal," Gao Jin said with a smile. "Sister-in-law, don't be shy. Chang Kun and I are old acquaintances."

Cheng Min nodded slightly, looking somewhat happy.

It feels so good to have your man respected wherever he goes.

The group walked through the carriages and arrived at the dining car.

These days, very few passengers have the opportunity to order food in the dining car; the dining car is almost exclusively for railway police officers and train attendants.

The dining car was empty at this time, with only a few crew members sitting in a corner eating.

Gao Jin led them to a table by the window, where several dishes were already laid out: braised pork, steamed dried fish, fried rice with eggs, and a plate of peanuts.

"Come, come, sit down, don't be shy," Gao Jin invited. "The conditions on the train are limited, not as good as a fancy restaurant, so please make do with what you have."

Hong Sanbing and Li Erfu were also old acquaintances of Chang Kun, and they sat at the table together as guests.

Looking at the table full of food, Cheng Min exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You call this limited conditions? This is much better than the meals I eat at restaurants in Beijing!"

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only four dishes—three meat and one vegetable—it's considered quite a high-class meal these days, especially on a train.

Hong Sanbing laughed heartily: "Brother Chang Kun, sister-in-law, the train conductor is treating us, so let's not stand on ceremony."

"We still have to be on duty, so let's limit our drinks. Chang Kun, you can drink as much as you want." Gao Jin took out a bottle of Xifeng liquor.

Xiao Li was busy pouring drinks for everyone. When it was Cheng Min's turn, she waved her hand and said, "I'm not drinking, you guys drink."

"If your sister-in-law doesn't want to drink, then don't. Have some tea instead." Gao Jin then asked the flight attendant to bring over a pot of hot tea.

After a drink, they started talking non-stop.

Gao Jin looked at Chang Kun and said with emotion, "Chang Kun, it's quite a coincidence that we met again. Back then on that train in Northeast China, you helped me catch a human trafficker, and I haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet.

"Train conductor, it was all a coincidence."

"A coincidence? Is today also a coincidence?" Gao Jin shook his head.

"I heard that you stood right in front of that thief and scared him with just your eyes. That can't be explained by coincidence, especially since you were the one who found all the thieves' tracks!"

Chang Kun smiled but didn't reply.

Hong Sanbing chimed in from the side: "The train conductor is right. Chang Kun, you don't know, things are stolen from our train every few days. If we catch two thieves a month, we're lucky."

"With your swift action today, all eight have been caught. From now on, thieves will have to avoid this train."

Xiao Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Brother Kun, you don't know, just now when I was escorting those thieves in the back, as we passed through the carriage, the passengers all stood up and applauded, the scene was..."

Cheng Min listened from the side, her eyes shining, and she secretly glanced at Chang Kun.

Chang Kun took Cheng Min's small hand under the table and gently squeezed it.

Gao Jin saw all of this, smiled, and took two small items out of his pocket, placing them on the table.

"Comrade Chang Kun, sister-in-law, this is just a small token of our appreciation from our train. Please accept it."
