"You mentioned there was an armed robbery in compartment 302, but who are you? Why are you so heavily disguised?!"
Tang Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise. Not bad, she thought—there was at least some sense of precaution.
However... this time it was an unnecessary precaution.
She paused, then lifted her right hand to pull down the white mask that covered her face, revealing an exquisitely delicate visage.
"I am a public figure, so I took some precautions, here’s my ID."
With that, she held out her identification card to the man.
"However, I think you shouldn’t waste your time on me right now but instead deal with the emergency in compartment 302."
At that moment, the young man was completely stunned. He recognized her as soon as Tang Shu’s features were unmasked.
This was Tang Shu, his latest idol!!!
But before he could get excited, he heard the well-intended warning behind her words.
"I, I, I... I know, I’m just too excited. I will inform the others, thank you!"
Watching his excited demeanor, Tang Shu kindly reminded him from the doorway, "Don’t forget to call the police."
"Understood, goddess!"
What kind of address was that!
Seeing that he believed her, Tang Shu didn’t bother to figure out how the term "goddess" came about. She pulled the white mask back up and headed back in the direction she came from.
After the staff member reported the emergency to his superior, he turned around only to realize that his goddess had disappeared.
Back in the compartment, Tang Shu flipped back up to the upper bunk.
Two minutes later, not only was she awoken, but the other five people in the compartment were stirred by the shrill screams from outside.
"What happened, what happened, something big must’ve occurred?!"
The auntie closet to the door stood up, peeked outside, and then an ever shriller scream tore through the air.
"Ah ah ah ah—there’s blood, there’s blood!"
The rest of the people, frightened, sat up one after another and cautiously peered outside.
"What’s the matter, why is there blood?"
"There’s... there’s someone with a knife, a murderer, someone’s been killed!"
Since this compartment was only separated from the assailant outside by a door, the sharp cries instantly drew a vicious look from the criminal, who then yanked the hostage over to their side.
"Shut the hell up, or I’ll stab him to death!"
At that moment, a public announcement came over the speakers in the compartment.
"Attention, all passengers please note, everyone please remain in your compartments, do not venture outside!"
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the people, completely unaware of what had happened, became even more panicked.
The auntie who had screamed earlier crumpled to the floor, legs giving way, coming to lay merely half a meter from the criminal.
"Dammit, everybody move back! Otherwise, this kid dies before your very eyes!"
Tang Shu inched closer to the door, peering through a slight gap towards the outside, and saw there was another assailant, his knife stained red. The same staff member she had alerted was now Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
That woman’s abdomen was bleeding profusely.
She had been stabbed by the criminal.
As a doctor, Tang Shu could tell at a glance that if the bleeding wasn’t stopped promptly, the woman was more likely to meet an unfortunate fate.
The stab had likely hit a vital spot. In modern medical terminology, it had damaged the major artery.
"My child, my child!"
