"Dabang Lin, when we get off the train later, remember to help me with my luggage." Tao Shuishui couldn't figure out why, but the more she looked at Lin Hai, the angrier she got.
"What the? Why should it be me?"
"Just because your eyeballs keep spinning around. Three beauties walk by and your eyes on their chests spin faster than the wheels of a 4WD car."
Lin Hai felt a shiver down his spine, thinking, sh*t, just say you want free labor.
He protested firmly, "You're wrong, I look at beauties because I'm an actor."
"An actor? What does that have to do with looking at beauties?" Tao Shuishui was puzzled. This guy really couldn't come up with a good excuse. He's truly semi-illiterate and seemed to be a bit of a coward too.
"Cough, of course, there's a connection. I'm an actor, and my eyes go wide as soon as I see a pretty girl," Lin Hai raised his head, explaining.
"..." Everyone was speechless.
"Hmph, ask who's the most lecherous in the world, it's definitely you, not shying away. As they say, an illiterate doesn't care about the source, a hooligan doesn't care about age." Tao Shuishui hummed, growing more and more displeased with Lin Hai, wondering how someone could be so annoying.
Suddenly, a commotion arose.
Then, a crude and loud voice pierced through the entire carriage.
"Everybody stick 'em up! F*ck, all of you stay put, anyone who moves gets a bullet in them."
Following that, the carriage erupted into chaos, noisy and disorderly.
A loud gunshot sound made the whole carriage instantly quiet down.
Lin Hai and the others turned pale.
"You all stay seated inside, I'll sit on the outside," declared Hai Wuyan decisively.
"Me too, I'll sit on the outside." Lin Hai volunteered to stand up.
They did this to protect the women; if the robbers did something terrible, the two men could take the hit first.
Tao Shuishui didn't expect that the illiterate Dabang Lin could also act , which was beyond her expectations.
Xia Chuqing placed Tao Shuishui in the innermost spot, while trying her best to protect Ouyang Xiaoya and Tao Shuishui, since she herself was also super first-class, with strong abilities.
"Lin Hai, be careful," Ouyang Xiaoya said worriedly.
Lin Hai turned and smiled at the CEO, "It's fine, CEO. I used to be known as the 'Zheng Zhi' of the soccer field, my biggest talent was to make the other players play like Zheng Zhi."
Although he was trying to lighten the mood, the joke didn't seem funny at all.
"Brother Lin, if there's any danger later, I'll take action first, you protect everyone."
Hai Wuyan said, and even though he couldn't discern Lin Hai's strength, being calm in the face of danger and willing to step forward was enough to earn his admiration.
"Brother Hai, you protect everyone, let me do it."
Lin Hai smiled. In this narrow train corridor, someone like him who was used to life and death situations and had survived countless times on the battlefield as a mercenary was more adept at handling it, needing ample experience to deal with sudden emergencies.
"Hand over the money!"
"Listen up, everyone, hand over all the valuable stuff you have on you!"
"Anyone who hides or hoards, if we find out, we'll open fire immediately!"
The robbers barked loudly, each of them holding a gun in their hand.
"Please, let me keep this fifty cents, I need to make a call for help when I get off."
"Hmph, you're thinking of calling the cops when you get off, aren't you?"
A pitiable old man was kicked aside.
Lin Hai listened to this and secretly despised them in his heart, what a bunch of sh*tty lack of professional ethics, not even sparing fifty cents, a true disgrace to the robber community.
The robbers were quickly getting closer to Lin Hai's side.
Ouyang Xiaoya and Tao Shuishui couldn't help but become nervous, their eyes filled with deep resistance and vigilance.
"Dabang Lin, you better not sell us out later, I always feel like you can't be trusted," Tao Shuishui muttered quietly.
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and pretended to be fierce: "Later I plan to tell the robbers your identity, all this talk of being officials' kids and rich kids, you'll surely get kidnapped for ransom, heh heh."
Little Tao Shuishui's pretty face instantly turned pale with fright.
"Damn beast, you're still joking at a time , don't scare the kid," Ouyang Xiaoya glared at him fiercely.
Lin Hai quickly shut his mouth and gave a sheepish smile, he had already voluntarily pulled out his anti-theft underwear pocket, revealing twenty red RMB bills.
"How do you have over two thousand?" Ouyang Xiaoya was shocked.
Lin Hai touched the back of his head awkwardly: "Saved up some private money, I'm afraid of dying, if it gets found later on, it could anger the robbers to feel deceived, and if they kill me it won't be fun."
This explanation left Ouyang Xiaoya, Tao Shuishui, Xia Chuqing, and even Hai Wuyan speechless to the extreme.
Lin Hai actually had his own plan in mind, he wanted to lure these robbers, preferably to the smoking area between train cars, then he could take decisive action, to keep other innocent passengers from getting hurt.
Finally it was Lin Hai's turn, Hai Wuyan's muscles tightened, ready to take action at any moment, to fight quickly and decisively.
Lin Hai, however, positioned himself in front of Hai Wuyan; the kid may be strong, but he lacked social experience. Robbers are inherently sensitive and can intuitively sense killing intent.
"Hehe, big brother, this is my private money from my anti-theft underwear, all yours now, heh heh."
While saying that, Lin Hai even took off his shoes, flipped open his insoles, showed them to the robber with a bright smile: "See, I'm not hiding any more money, I'm an honest person, a good, law-abiding citizen."
Tao Shuishui gave Lin Hai a disgusted look, internally scoffing at him. Lin Hai's just now squeezed-out smile, was worse than a traitor, who upon seeing the Japanese would keep calling them 'your excellency' in an anti-Japanese TV drama.
"If it were wartime, Dabang Lin would definitely be the best traitor."
"Oh? Not bad, kid, you have some sense," the robber's mood suddenly improved.
Lin Hai quickly nodded and bowed: "Big brother is wise, heh heh, let me help, I'll search out their money too and give it all to you, just don't kill me, that's all."
"Don't worry, we're just after money," the robber nodded in satisfaction, he liked this kid with no backbone.
Lin Hai turned his head, his face dropped, pretending to bully others with power: "You all, take out anything valuable, big brother is in a good mood, don't ruin it."
Tao Shuishui clenched her little fists tightly: "Traitor Lin, you wait, after we get off the train I'll find someone to beat you up, you spineless worm."
"What do you know, this is for your own good, if 'big brother' frisks you, it's bound to get handsy, would you prefer to be groped?" Lin Hai glared, half fierce, half explaining.
Ouyang Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, but then she had an epiphany. Although Lin Hai's method seemed inappropriate, his intention was good. She remembered during a previous kidnapping incident, he had done something similar, and almost got dragged into the restroom by a kidnapper called 'Erpi', to have his 'chrysanthemum' exploded.
Just when Lin Hai had collected the valuables, ready to hand them over, thinking that he would be able to get them back later anyway.
Suddenly, the door to the carriage opposite was opened, and a round little ball rolled over. A girl in a simple pink plaid dress, chasing after the ball, came running over, her adorable eyes blinking, and in a milky voice she called out: "Ball ball don't run, ball ball don't run."
