Chapter 89: Team Member Gets Beaten

Deng Hairong, who was choking, just couldn't do anything; Jin Zhu, the big guy, blocked the way, and I couldn't get in even if I wanted to.

Lu Cheng really knows how to use everyone's strengths; he even feels a bit envious of Sixth Group's tall legs and that short monkey.

Whenever there's a thief on the train, first have the big guy block the door, then let the short monkey use his body advantage to grab people quickly; there's nowhere to run.

It was hard enough to get a thief on the train, and such a good merit opportunity was inexplicably missed.

The key point is that after Lu Cheng's ridicule, he had no face to go after the thief again.

Turning to his own team members, Deng Hairong shouted angrily: "You bunch of idiots, you can't even catch a thief. Next time don't chase like this; when you see a thief, catch him quietly."

The team members felt very aggrieved; they had already done their best, but there were too many people on the carriage, making it really hard to catch.

When Deng Hairong led the team back to the carriage assigned to Group One, Lu Cheng waved his hand: "Take care, Group Leader Deng, I'm not seeing you off."

Chang Jinbu pushed the thief over: "Group Leader, what should we do with this person?"

Lu Cheng glanced: "Group Leader Deng, be magnanimous, hand the thief over to us; it's a good learning opportunity for you. First take him back to the dining car for interrogation and search, then contact the passenger who lost items, and when we reach the next stop, hand him over to the local Railway Bureau."

Chang Jinbu nodded and was about to leave, but Lu Cheng called him back, grabbed the thief by the neck, and walked up to the Sichuan passenger.

"Apologize to the person."

The thief hesitated: "I didn't steal anything from him."

Lu Cheng slapped him: "Enough nonsense, you bumped into someone just now, look how you soaked his clothes, apologize!"

Lu Cheng was about to strike again, and the frightened thief shrank his neck: "Sorry, Comrade, I was wrong."

When Lu Cheng brought the thief over, Jiang Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, quickly freed the man's arm, rubbed his reddened wrist, and wore a plaintive expression.

Lu Cheng then said to the Sichuan passenger: "Comrade, it was indeed the thief running around, and the collision was accidental. I hope you can understand. Your clothes are wet; you can go to our dining car, and I'll arrange for someone to dry them."

The passenger was a bit helpless, but forgave and said: "No big deal, I'm really having a terrible day today."

Lu Cheng pretended to understand, but the passenger clearly wasn't that upset, and immediately had the big guy take the person to the dining car.

"Thank you, Group Leader Lu, if it weren't for you I would have been tangled up with them," Jiang Mengmeng said gratefully to Lu Cheng.

Especially when facing Deng Hairong's firm refusal to hand over the thief, Jiang Mengmeng thought he was quite manly, grabbing when he should and fighting when he should.

It's not like the one at home, who gets bullied by the neighbors to the point of being on top of them, doesn't even dare to utter a word, only knows how to please, and when she arrived she even argued with her husband.

"Ah, no need to be polite, we're all Comrades at Beijing Station, and later I'll need to trouble you to help ask over the broadcast which passenger lost something."

Jiang Mengmeng smiled: "Okay, cooperating with your work is my duty; I'll go to the broadcast right now."

A short while later, the Broadcaster's voice rang out on the train.

"Attention, fellow passengers, please note, I have an important announcement…"

Just now, our Train Police, through brave resistance and flexible tactics, finally captured a fleeing thief.

Our Train Police are great, while the thief is utterly evil.

We must thank the Train Police in our hearts, and also condemn the vile thief, harshly condemning this bad element hidden among our masses.

Additionally, passengers who lost items should go to the dining car to claim them, and passengers who didn't lose anything should not claim randomly, to avoid adding unnecessary work for our Train Police. Thank you for your cooperation…"

Listening to Jiang Mengmeng's broadcast, Lu Cheng leaned against the carriage and shook his head.

Just catching a thief, but after Jiang Mengmeng's broadcast, it somehow became grand and majestic.

But Jin Zhu and Chang Jinbu listened and felt very satisfied, the two standing there laughing foolishly.

"Big guy, look, we're not useless; we can work and catch thieves. If Lei Yeye knew…"

Jin Zhu kept laughing foolishly while vigorously nodding.

Seeing the two were satisfied just by catching a thief, Lu Cheng also broke into a smile.

"Alright, you two go to the bunk car to rest, and swap Da Kui and Jian'an."

Because of catching the thief, Chang Jinbu was still excited: "Group Leader, I'm not tired; let Da Kui and the other keep resting."

Lu Cheng glanced back: "This is an order; one coming and going could be days, we must conserve energy, go quickly."

"Then Group Leader you…"

"I'll rest in the next round; Da Kui can't, I have to take him personally."

Compared with the other three team members, Liu Jian'an is the simplest, Jin Zhu is quiet but of sound mind, Chang Jinbu is short but clever, and only Niu Da Kui gives Lu Cheng a real headache.

Chang Jinbu suddenly stepped forward, bowed: "Group Leader, thank you for taking us; we will definitely work hard in the future and make you proud."

Jin Zhu remained that goofy big guy, only able to nod vigorously.

Lu Cheng patted the two, said nothing, but the sense of responsibility as Group Leader grew heavier in his heart.

He lit a cigarette, leaned against the carriage, and admired the motherland's splendid scenery.

The destination is Guangcheng, what a nice place!

Whether the Lu family can become deeply rooted and influential in the future depends on financial support; without money it won't work.

And to make big money, Guangcheng is a good spot, but current policies forbid speculative profiteering, so we have to wait a few more years.

However, having the Train Police identity at least makes things convenient.

Even now, many neighbors come to ask for help bringing things from out of town, including food and supplies; Lu Cheng lets them all go ask his mother.

Such a long‑faced opportunity must definitely be given to his mother.

When neighbors ask for help, you have to say a few nice words, give compliments, and send some items; then Chen Xianglan will be overjoyed.

The train passed villages, passed cities, until the outside sky darkened and nothing could be seen.

Lu Cheng prepared to return to the bunk car, calling the big guys to go to the dining car for a meal.

It was a hard day; the train was delayed a bit, and at this speed we'll probably reach Guangcheng by late tomorrow night.

After dinner, let everyone rest well; on the train, when there's nothing to do you just lie down and sleep, causing the biological clocks to become messed up.

Walking toward the bunk car, Liu Jian'an suddenly rushed over, panting: "Group Leader, I was looking for you."

Lu Cheng laughed: "You're hungry, huh? Seeing you rush like that, I know you're starving. Come, everyone worked hard today, my treat."

Liu Jian'an swallowed: "Not that, Group Leader, Da Kui got beaten, you should go check!"
