Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Chapter 195 Return

Gu Qingyu and his group of six people carried more than a dozen bags of goods on the train, which was too conspicuous. On the way to the sleeper car, several groups of people had already set their sights on them.

Except for Sun Lei, who was still huffing and puffing as he moved the goods into the sleeper car, Gu Qingyu and the four bodyguards were all tense, their eyes looking around calmly.

After several people finally made their way through the crowded aisle and moved the goods into the carriage, everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

As soon as Sun Lei entered the carriage, he plopped down on the lower bunk and complained, "Ouch, it's so crowded! My shoes were almost stepped on and fell off."

"Luckily, I'm good at fighting and have quick reactions, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to squeeze through!"

Sun Lei talked to himself for a long time, but found that no one paid any attention to him. He was very curious about what was going on. When he looked up, he found that several people had serious expressions. He couldn't help but ask, "What... is going on?"

Gu Qingyu said lightly after hearing this, "It's okay, someone is watching me!"

"What! Being... targeted?" Sun Lei jumped up when he heard that, his eyes widened and he stammered.

Gu Qingyu frowned at Sun Lei and said with a look of surprise, "Well, with so much cargo, it's no surprise they were targeted. Didn't we anticipate this situation before we set out?"

After being asked by Gu Qingyu, Sun Lei finally realized what was going on. He said to everyone awkwardly, "Uh... yeah... I didn't react just now!"

Gu Qingyu ignored Sun Lei's fuss and asked Zhou Weiguo, who was standing guard at the door of the carriage, "How is it? How many groups are targeting us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo asked Du Xianyong to come and take his place, then returned to the carriage and reported to Gu Qingyu, "Since we entered the carriage, a total of five groups of suspicious people passed by outside our carriage."

"Three of them were watching us all the way before we boarded the train, and the other two groups were watching us when we passed by the hard-seat carriage!"

"As for whether there are other people in the dark, it is not clear yet!"

Zhou Weiguo and his companions were scouts before they retired from the army, so Gu Qingyu was still very convinced by the results of their reports.

Robberies often occur on long-distance trains at this time. Gu Qingyu had anticipated this situation before departure and had made an emergency plan.

But thinking about the fact that so many people outside are staring at them, it seems that they won’t be able to have a good rest in the next two days!

Since she can't have a good rest, she's sorry for everyone else, and we all have to share the hardship.

Having said that, Gu Qingyu took out a large bronze gong from her luggage and handed it to Sun Lei.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to have a peaceful night tonight. If anyone comes near, you'll just bang the gong as hard as you can, okay?"

"I know...I know..."

"But Qingyu, do we really want to do this?" Sun Lei asked Gu Qingyu hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu said with a serious face, "Of course we have to strike it! The gong makes a loud noise, which can not only have a deterrent effect, but also quickly attract the train police to come and help!"

When Sun Lei heard what Gu Qingyu said, he had no choice but to agree honestly, "Okay then!"

Seeing that Sun Lei had no objection, Gu Qingyu and Zhou Weiguo discussed what to do if someone broke in, and then lay down on the bunk to rest.

The next step is to wait and see!

The lights in the sleeper car on the train were turned off at 12 o'clock. As the lights in the entire sleeper car dimmed, Gu Qingyu and the others became more alert.

Zhou Weiguo first warned his brothers, "Tonight will definitely be a restless night. Everyone, please be alert!"

After instructing his brothers, he comforted Gu Qingyu and Sun Lei who had just woken up, "Miss Gu and Xiaolei, you two can rest assured. We four brothers are here to watch over you. We promise you'll be fine!"

Gu Qingyu woke up after a few hours of rest. Seeing that Zhou Weiguo had already made arrangements in an orderly manner, he simply reminded him, "Our goods are all packed in sacks. Each sack is not only large in size but also heavy. It will be difficult to sell them after being robbed."

"If they want to take action, they will most likely choose to rob the train when it slows down before entering the station!"

"So, you must pay attention to the period before and after the train arrives at the station. They are very likely to choose to take action at this time!"

"I understand, Miss Gu, we will pay attention to it!" Zhou Weiguo said to Gu Qingyu gratefully.

After Gu Qingyu saw that Zhou Weiguo and others understood her meaning, she continued to lie on the bed and rest with her eyes closed.

Sun Lei, who was sitting on the bunk opposite, thought of the task that Gu Qingyu had assigned to him and didn't want to sleep anymore. He simply sat up and held the gong, ready to fight at any time!

Time unknowingly came to two o'clock in the morning. At this time, the only sounds in the carriage were the snoring of the sleeping people and the collision of the train and the rails coming from outside the window.

At this moment, Du Xianyong, who had been leaning against the carriage door, suddenly said, "Pay attention, there are a few people sneaking over here."

These words suddenly rang out in the silent carriage, waking up the sleepy people.

"What...someone is coming?" Du Lei was so frightened that he almost struck the gong in his hand, but Zhou Weiguo stopped him with his quick eyes and hands.

"Don't get excited, let's see the situation first!" Zhou Weiguo said soothingly to the emotional Sun Lei.

Gu Qingyu was now fully awake. She asked Du Xianyong, who was still observing from the doorway, "Brother Du, have you figured out which group of people are coming over now?"

Gu Qingyu, Zhou Weiguo and others had previously carefully analyzed the situations of the groups of people who were targeting them. Two of them should be ruthless characters. According to Zhou Weiguo and others' judgment, these two groups definitely had lives on their hands.

Judging from the words and actions of the remaining groups, they should be experienced thieves who have been stealing for many years. Generally speaking, these people are only after money and will not harm human lives.

So, a few people had discussed it last night. If that group of thieves came first, they would just subdue them by themselves without alerting them.

If the gang of bandits comes first, let Sun Lei ring the gong directly, and Zhou Weiguo and others will take action at the same time to stop them outside the car.

Once everyone in the carriage is awakened, the police on the train will rush over quickly, and they will definitely not dare to waste time confronting them head-on.

The few people who came to their senses thought about the plan they made last night and were no longer panicked.

At this time, Du Xianyong whispered to the people in the carriage, "It's the pickpockets from the hard seat carriage. There are five of them. One of them stayed at the junction of the carriages to keep watch. The other four have already reached the door of carriage 6."

Gu Qingyu calmly said, "According to the plan!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the car tensed up and waited for those people to come over.

At this moment, the thieves outside the carriage suddenly stopped, and one of them said hesitantly, "Boss, are we really going to go in?"

"It's obvious from the first glance that the bodyguards those two brought with them are not easy to deal with. If we go over there, I'm afraid we'll get into trouble!"

"What are you afraid of? We're not going to confront them head-on. We'll blow smoke into the car and wait until everyone passes out. Then we'll drop the sacks out the window and jump out!"

"But..." The man who asked the question earlier wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the impatient gang leader.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out!"

Seeing that his boss was angry, this person didn't dare to say anything and could only follow his boss towards the carriage of Gu Qingyu and the others.

Because Gu Qingyu had a keen ear due to his martial arts training, he heard that the other party was going to use drugs, so he took out a towel he bought at the wholesale market from his luggage, picked up the water on the table and poured it on the other party.

Although the others did not hear the conversation outside the car, they understood what was going on after seeing Gu Qingyu's actions, so they reached out to take the towel and cover their noses with it.

The carriage door, which was originally closed, was suddenly opened silently by someone from the outside, and a burning incense stick was stretched out from outside.

Gu Qingyu and the others covered their noses, no one said a word, and just watched the incense burn quietly.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the carriage, "Boss, it's almost time. There's been no movement inside for such a long time. Can we go in?"

"Well, be gentle once you get in there, and make it quick and easy, okay?"

"Understood!" Several people answered in unison.

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Weiguo and his companions were ready. The moment the people outside opened the carriage and came in, they each found their target, quickly took action, covered the person's mouth, locked the throat, and took him down cleanly and neatly.

Of course, Gu Qingyu and Sun Lei were not idle either. They stepped forward and stuffed a towel into the mouth of each thief, and at the same time took out a rope and tied them up.

Sun Lei frowned as he looked at the thief who was tied up by them. Thinking of their accomplice who was watching over the situation, he asked, "What about the remaining person?"

This... everyone was clueless and didn't know what to do!

If it takes too long and the person still hasn't left, the other party will definitely notice the problem. By then, it will be difficult to catch him!

At this time, Zhou Weiguo looked at the tied-up gang leader and suddenly said to Du Xianyong, "Old Du, you are about the same size as this boss. It's pitch black outside and you can't see clearly. Stand in the corridor and trick him in!"

"Ah? Is this...is this okay?" Du Xianyong looked at the person tied to the ground, then looked down at himself and asked without much approval.

There was no other good solution at this time. Zhou Weiguo heard this and said to Du Xianyong, "Let's try it first!"

"Yeah, let's try it first!" others echoed.

"Then... I'll try it...?" Du Xianxianyong answered uncertainly.

I don’t know if it was because the night was too dark, or if Du Xianyong really had some acting talent, but he actually managed to trick people into coming here.

It’s just…it’s outrageous!

In the second half of the night, Gu Qingyu and his team used the same method to capture two more groups of people. They were so busy that they were sweating all over.

By daybreak, the small carriage where Gu Qingyu and his companions were was so packed that there was no room left for them to step.

Sun Lei frowned as he looked at the thieves who were tied up in the carriage. He then looked at Gu Qingyu and said, "These people will be handed over to the train police later. They will definitely attract the attention of other people on the train."

"Will this alert the enemy? After all, the other two more vicious groups didn't come last night. What will we do if they don't come over then?"

Gu Qingyu was speechless after hearing this. She looked at Sun Lei as if he were a fool and said, "Are you stupid? Wouldn't it be better if they didn't come? Are you still hoping that someone will come and rob us?"

After hearing what Gu Qingyu said, Sun Lei suddenly came to his senses. They were not the police, so there was no need to arrest anyone.

"Haha, it's my fault that I didn't react!" Sun Lei smiled awkwardly at everyone.

When Zhou Weiguo called the conductor to the carriage where Gu Qingyu and his companions were, the conductor was so shocked that his jaw dropped when he saw the thieves tied up in the carriage.

"These...are these the thieves you caught overnight?" The flight attendant pointed at the thieves lying on the ground and asked stutteringly.

Seeing the other party's face full of disbelief, Sun Lei said in a proud tone, "Yeah, don't you see that our carriage is full? Come quickly and take the person away!"

"Well, wait a minute!"

"I...I'll go call someone over. Please keep an eye on me. Don't let anyone run away!" After saying that, he ran out like the wind without waiting for Gu Qingyu and others to reply.

At this moment, the little man in the conductor's mind was so happy that he was spinning in circles. This credit that was delivered to him for free could not be allowed to go wrong. He had to quickly call someone to take over.

Not long after, seven or eight train police officers came to the door of Gu Qingyu's carriage. Everyone was shocked when they saw the tied-up thieves in the carriage!

After realizing what was happening, the flight attendants expressed their gratitude to Gu Qingyu and the others. After all, they had given them such a large portion for free!

With such a big commotion here, the whole train soon knew that someone had caught more than ten thieves overnight.

Ever since the train police took the thief away, the area outside Gu Qingyu's carriage became bustling with activity. People from other carriages heard the news and came to watch the excitement.

The crowds of people kept coming and going until the lights were about to be turned off at night, and then they dispersed!

Oh my god, dealing with those onlookers is much more tiring than staying up late to catch people last night!

Sun Lei thought of the two groups that didn't show up last night and asked Gu Qingyu, "Qingyu, do you think the other two groups will come tonight?"

Gu Qingyu frowned upon hearing this and said, "That's hard to say!"

"Logically speaking, since we've made such a big fuss, no one should want to take advantage of us. But there are always some people who think they're skilled and daring enough to take risks and make a killing!"

"No matter what, we have to cheer up and hold on for another night. We will arrive at the station tomorrow!" Gu Qingyu encouraged everyone.

Sun Lei lay on his bed and said with a look of despair, "I hope everything goes well tonight. I really can't take it anymore!"
