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

Chang Kun cursed inwardly.

With Sima Bin bringing those men to act as gatekeepers on the platform, there wasn't even a trace of patrolling. How could thieves not be tempted?

I'm afraid that in a few more days, this line will be in complete chaos.

Little Shui, unaware of what he was thinking, tilted her head back and struggled slightly in his hand, saying, "Big brother, you're pinching me too hard."

Chang Kun quickly loosened his grip and rubbed her little hand.

He already had a plan in mind.

Whether Sima Bin is a scoundrel or not is an internal matter.

A passenger having their wallet stolen is a real loss.

This line was built by him and his colleagues, and they couldn't let Sima Bin ruin it.

Chang Kun arranged for Xiao Shui to sit in the dining car and asked the train attendant to keep an eye on her.

He quietly got off the dining car, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before quickly locking onto his target.

A man in his thirties, wearing a gray cloth jacket, mingled in the crowd with his hands in his pockets, looking no different from any other passenger.

But Chang Kun could see clearly that his eyes were off; he kept glancing at the pockets of the people next to him, and he was following a middle-aged man carrying a large bag at a leisurely pace.

The thief squeezed next to the middle-aged man, pulled his hand out of his pocket, and held a thin razor blade between two fingers, which flashed in the sunlight.

Chang Kun didn't wait any longer. He squeezed through, put a hand on the thief's shoulder, and patted him lightly.

The thief froze, turned his head, and met a pair of expressionless eyes.

Chang Kun didn't say anything. He reached out with his other hand, pinched the blade between two fingers, and gently pulled it out.

Before the thief could react, the razor blade was already in Chang Kun's hand.

"Come with me."

Chang Kun's voice was not loud, and even the people next to him did not notice it.

The thief's face paled slightly, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at Chang Kun's physique and then at himself, he closed his mouth again.

Chang Kun turned and walked towards the connecting area between the carriages, with the thief obediently following behind, his legs feeling a little weak.

When we reached the connecting area between the carriages, the wind whistled in through the cracks in the door.

Chang Kun turned around, flipped the razor blade in his hand, looked at it, and then looked up at the thief.

"New here?"

The thief paused for a moment, then didn't dare to reply.

Chang Kun put the razor blade in his pocket, looked him up and down, and said, "Go back and tell your boss, don't you dare mess with this line! If they dare to come again, arrest them all!!"

The thief swallowed hard, his lips trembled slightly, and he nodded.

He had long heard that the police along this route were incredibly powerful; thieves would be caught before they could even make a move.

But there was no way around it; the boss sent him to scout the location, and he didn't dare disobey.

Sure enough, just as he was about to make a move, he was pinned down.

Fortunately, the policeman seemed to be in a hurry to catch his train and asked me to deliver a message back.

Otherwise, I'll be handcuffed behind bars and crying again...

Chang Kun glanced at him again, his gaze sharp and unsettling. (Small.)

He stole half a step back and bumped his back against the carriage wall.

"Don't let me see you again." Chang Kun said, then turned and left.

The thief stood there, watching Chang Kun's retreating figure, and reached up to touch his forehead, which was covered in sweat.

He leaned against the carriage wall for a moment, and when his legs weren't so weak anymore, he quickly stumbled and ran away.

Chang Kun returned to his seat, where Xiao Shui was still sitting upright, clutching her schoolbag in her arms, her legs pressed together. Seeing him return, her eyes lit up: "Big brother, where have you been?"

"I went to the restroom." Chang Kun sat down, tucked Xiao Shui's braid behind his shoulder, and casually picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped through it.

Xiao Shui didn't ask any more questions. She lowered her head, took out the pancake from her schoolbag, broke it in half, put one half into her own mouth, and gave the other half to Chang Kun.

"Big brother, have some pancakes."

The train rattled along, and the fields outside the window receded one by one.

I was so excited at night that I didn't go to sleep until very late, and then I got up too early in the morning.

Xiao Shui looked at the scenery by the window for a while, then got tired and leaned against Chang Kun, dozing off, her little head nodding off.

As he gently rested her head on the schoolbag, Chang Kun thought of the thief from earlier.

Sending a greenhorn to scout the location is a first for us.

If the thieves realize there are no more patrols along this route, these kinds of incidents will increase. Sima Bin and his gang of security guards are unreliable.

When I return from Tangshan, I will still need to be extra careful.

This was the first time Chang Kun had ever traveled alone. He had previously gone to Tianjin with Lei Guohong and Hou Jun, but that time their master was there to guide them, and he just followed along, observing and helping out.

This time, he's the only one accompanying the train. Although the section only arranged for him to go through the motions, he can't sit still and has to get up and walk around.

Little Shui was fast asleep in the food cart.

The dining car was empty at the moment. The train attendants had finished their work and gone to rest. Several benches were empty, and Xiao Shui occupied a row by the window. Her schoolbag was under her head, and Chang Kun's coat was covering her. Her little mouth was slightly open, and she was sleeping like a kitten.

Chang Kun greeted Old Li from the dining car: "Master Li, please keep an eye on this girl for me. Make sure she doesn't wander off when she wakes up."

Old Li was wiping the table when he looked up, smiled, and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. It won't get lost."

Chang Kun turned and walked toward the hard-seat carriage.

The carriage was quite crowded, with people standing in the aisle and luggage crammed under the seats.

He walked slowly along the corridor, his eyes scanning both sides, making sure to look at every corner.

This is what Lei Guohong taught us: patrol cars can't just walk; they need to be sharp-eyed and spot anything that's wrong at a glance.

After going around in circles, I feel relieved.

The passengers on this route did not find anyone suspicious.

He caught the thief red-handed on the train, and the news has probably spread. At least on this train, no one dares to lay a finger on him again.

Chang Kun was about to turn back when he suddenly heard a commotion ahead.

"No way! I was here first! You're holding back!"

"Stop holding it in! I've been holding it in the whole way, and if you don't move aside, I really can't hold it in anymore!"

Chang Kun walked over and saw two people standing at the entrance of the toilet.

A middle-aged man in his forties, his face flushed red, one hand clutching his stomach, bent over, his forehead covered in sweat, looked like he was about to pass out.

The other was a young man, his legs tightly clamped together, stomping his feet incessantly, his face showing both pain and anxiety.

Neither of them would give in; they pushed and shoved each other, and it looked like they were about to fight.

Several passengers nearby watched the commotion with their arms crossed. Some were trying to suppress their laughter, while others frowned and took two steps back, probably afraid of getting splashed.

"What's all the noise about?" Chang Kun walked over and stood between the two of them.

The middle-aged man spoke first, his voice distorted.

"Comrade, comrade, you be the judge! I have diarrhea, I've had it since this morning, my legs are weak, I really can't hold it in anymore! He insists on taking it from me!"
