Chapter 5

This sudden robbery plunged the car into a brief silence, but once people realized what was happening, the entire compartment erupted into chaos, filled with the screams of women and children.

Ye Huang, who was standing next to Xie Chensyan, saw her face turn pale, her usual calm demeanor now tinged with the weakness and helplessness characteristic of a young woman.

Xie Chensyan couldn't help but turn her gaze to Ye Huang, only to find that he had a faint smile on his face, seemingly unperturbed by the ongoing robbery.

"Don't be afraid, everything is under control. Nothing will happen," Ye Huang reassured Xie Chensyan again, then turned his gaze to the five men preparing to rob the passengers, feeling a bit self-deprecating.

Perhaps no one was as unlucky as he was. After dealing with robbers outside the train station, he encountered an unreasonable female police officer, and then after getting on the bus, a newspaper warning of a robbery turned out to be true.

This is what people call good fortune, while I have bad luck! If it weren't for my relatively good luck in the past, Ye Huang would have doubted his character.

"Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket tonight. Who knows, I might win a few million," Ye Huang muttered to himself.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you! I haven't even started robbing you yet. Monkey! Bring the bag and have them put all their valuables in it."

"Sure thing, boss!" Monkey, a skinny guy, responded with a grin, walking to the front of the bus with a bag in one hand and a knife in the other, starting to collect money.

Although no one wanted to hand over their money, the gleaming knives in front of them left them no choice but to comply and hand over their money to avoid trouble.

Those who had little money on them secretly rejoiced, while those who had more money looked as if they wanted to slap themselves.

Monkey, the skinny guy, didn't miss a single person, whether they were men, women, or even the elderly. The other three men held daggers and stood at the front, middle, and back of the bus to control the situation.

The leader, however, stood in front of Ye Huang and Xie Chensyan, unwilling to leave. Seeing the passengers start to hand over their money, he turned around and approached Xie Chensyan again.

"Hehe, beautiful lady, don't be afraid. Brother won't make you pay. Brother only takes their money, but you have to play with me. How about it? Brother will buy you a diamond ring and a gold chain. Just play with me, hehe."

Baring his yellow teeth, the man ignored the stench of his breath and smiled at Xie Chensyan.

However, before Xie Chensyan could respond, a miserable cry echoed through the bus.

"Ahh... Don't take my chain! I spent 20,000 yuan on it. Please, don't take it! I beg you, let me go!"

A fat man, weighing about 200 pounds, was sobbing and pleading.

"Slap!"

"Shit! You fat pig, how dare you not give me what I want? What should we do with this fat guy, boss?" The skinny monkey, enraged that the fat man wouldn't give up his gold chain, slapped him.

Seeing that someone refused to hand over the gold chain, the burly man lost interest in harassing Xie Chensyan and walked over, kicking the fat man off his seat. The fat man's head hit the seat, and he started to bleed and scream in pain.

"Damn, I hate these fat pigs who eat all day and won't give up their gold! Even as a robber, I know to give up my seat to the elderly. You, you scum, sit in the priority seat for the elderly, sick, and disabled. Your father should have shot you against the wall! You're a menace to society!"

"I'll kick you to death, you scum!" The leader, still unsatisfied, kicked the fat man again, causing his head to hit the metal bar, and he passed out.

"Boss, he's out cold?" One of the men checked the fat man's breathing.

"Are you kidding? If he's not moving, he's either unconscious or dead. Take the necklace. Damn, what a fat pig. Kicking him once even made my foot bounce."

After a few curses, the leader instructed his subordinate to take the gold chain and then turned back to Xie Chensyan. The other passengers, seeing the fate of the man who refused to hand over his valuables, obediently handed over their belongings, not wanting to be beaten or stabbed.

"Beautiful lady, brother is back. Have you thought about my request? I'm sincere. If you agree, I'll give you that gold chain. It's so shiny and beautiful."

As he spoke, the man reached out to touch Xie Chensyan's firm buttocks. At this moment, Ye Huang finally acted, gently pushing away the man's dirty hand and saying softly,

"Take your dirty hands away."

"Hey! Hero saving the beauty, huh? What's the problem? My hands were just jerking off. What, you don't like it? I'll touch her, and what are you going to do about it?"

Seeing his attempt to succeed suddenly interrupted by a busybody, the burly man's face darkened, and he sneered at Ye Huang.

"I don't care if you jerk off, but if you touch my girlfriend, I won't stand for it." Ye Huang almost without hesitation called Xie Chensyan his girlfriend. While Ye Huang was unbothered, Xie Chensyan blushed like a red apple, looking at Ye Huang with a mix of annoyance and allure, which made the burly man's eyes widen.
