Chapter 130: Delivery
"What..."
Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, the people around perked up, suddenly not feeling sleepy, and looked at the woman with disbelief, "Could this person be a kidnapper? It’s incredibly bold to commit such acts right on the train."
"Yes, yes, this person is really despicable."
"We should go get the train police right away." Someone reacted quickly, thinking they should immediately call the train police to arrest the person.
Most people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The middle-aged woman panicked as she saw the scene unfolding in front of her. She had been doing this for so long without any mistakes before. Normally, as long as she acted in the latter half of the night, the women wouldn’t notice anything, and she’d take them off at the next station while they were still unconscious. But today, everything was going wrong.
However, she calmed down quickly. Even if discovered, it was nothing; she could still escape.
Thinking this, the woman turned around intending to leave.
From the moment she woke up, Ding Yuejun had been staring hatefully at the woman. Seeing the woman’s action, she immediately understood her intention to escape and rushed forward. She felt a wave of fear; if Yiyi hadn’t been vigilant, who knows what could have happened to them. This kind of menace should be captured immediately.
Yiyi reacted even faster than Ding Yuejun, stepping forward to catch the woman. However, just as Yiyi reached out, the surrounding crowd suddenly became chaotic, and someone was pushed over, making Yiyi stumble and fail to grab the middle-aged woman’s wrist.
As if expecting this, the woman disappeared swiftly amidst the chaos.
Witnessing this scene, Yiyi immediately realized that the woman had accomplices.
"Everyone, don’t let that woman get away, or more people will suffer in the future." Yiyi shouted, hoping someone could stop the woman.
Others naturally wanted to catch the wrongdoer, but with so many people on the train, the chaos made it hard to move, let alone capture someone.
"Make way."
Seeing the woman about to disappear, Yiyi shouted, hoping people could clear a path; however, amidst the noise, no one heard Yiyi’s words.
"Damn it."
By the time the crowd organized slightly, the woman had already vanished.
"Yiyi, let’s quickly find the train police." Ding Yuejun suggested, feeling uneasy as well.
"Okay."
With no other option, Yiyi and her mother quickly went to find the train police.
Upon hearing about the trouble on the train, the train police immediately raised their vigilance, contacted the police at the next station, and kept a constant lookout.
"Girls, you can go back to your seats and relax. Leave this person to us."
Ding Yuejun quickly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, officer."
Meanwhile, Yiyi pondered aloud, "That person must have accomplices, otherwise she couldn’t have escaped so conveniently."
"What..."
This made the train police even more alert.
Having shared everything they knew, Yiyi and Ding Yuejun returned to their seats. At that moment, Zilan Yushu, a young man, looked up at Yiyi, a smile spreading on his face, making him even more striking.
"You’re amazing, reacting so swiftly; your alertness is impressive."
The young man’s voice was as clear and delightful as pearls dropping onto a jade plate, almost mesmerizing.
Yiyi didn’t expect the young man to speak to her. Upon hearing his words, she simply replied, "I’m just a light sleeper."
The young man flashed a small smile and didn’t dwell on the matter, instead introducing himself, "My name is Fan Qianshu."
Upon hearing this name, Yiyi immediately thought of a line from a poem, "Thousands of trees bloom with pear flowers?"
"Yes, exactly thousands of trees bloom with pear flowers."
Fan Qianshu nodded, acknowledging the origin of his name.
"This name suits you well." The young man standing before her truly embodied the line about thousands of trees blooming with pear flowers. He was stunningly handsome.
Meanwhile, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but advise, "Young man, be careful when you travel next time. Even though today’s incident was aimed at Yiyi and me, looking as good as you do might attract unwanted attention from others."
Seeing Ding Yuejun’s genuine concern, Fan Qianshu was momentarily taken aback, appreciative that a complete stranger would care and warn him. Finding nothing wrong with this concern, he nodded decisively, "Thank you, Auntie, I’ll keep that in mind."
By the time the train stopped at the next station, they still hadn’t captured the middle-aged woman. Yiyi’s heart sank; after so much time, and now another stop, the woman likely escaped. Thinking of this, her mood plummeted.
Even Ding Yuejun felt frustrated.
"This is outrageous, letting such a bad person escape."
Yiyi snapped out of her thoughts and comforted her mother, "Mom, luckily we’re fine. Don’t dwell on it; let’s just be more cautious in the future."
"Alright."
The rest of the journey went smoothly. By noon the next day, Yiyi and Ding Yuejun arrived in Shangjing.
"You made it to Shangjing, too. So, where are you staying now? Let me give you a ride." Once off the train, Fan Qianshu saw Yiyi and Ding Yuejun and greeted them with a smile.
Yiyi politely declined.
"No need, we don’t have a fixed place. We’re planning to find a decent hotel nearby."
Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Fan Qianshu didn’t say much more but waved farewell.
"Mom, let’s find a hotel first."
Upon hearing her daughter’s suggestion, Ding Yuejun naturally agreed, and the two quickly found a hotel with a good environment. Then, Yiyi took her mother out to hunt for some delicious food.
It was their first time visiting Shangjing, so they were curious about everything. As time grew late, they finally returned to the hotel together.
"Yiyi, hurry up and sleep. We need to get up early tomorrow to meet Boss Wu."
Yiyi was indeed a bit tired, as she couldn’t sleep well on the train. Seeing Ding Yuejun getting ready for bed, she quickly fell asleep herself.
By the next day, the mother and daughter followed Wu Yongcai’s contact details and went directly to find him.
Upon seeing Yiyi and her mother, Wu Yongcai was bewildered, "How did you two get here?"
With a bright smile, Yiyi looked at Wu Yongcai and said, "My mother has finished making those two qipaos, so we came to deliver them."
"You really went through a lot of trouble. Next time, just call me, and even if it’s a face-to-face delivery, I should come to you." Wu Yongcai still remembered how familiar Yiyi was with Fang Cheng, concluding early on that this mother and daughter duo were not ordinary, and couldn’t bear to let them come all the way just for delivery.
