“Su Xuan!”
Zhou Qiang heard Su Xuan’s voice and immediately turned to look. When he saw Su Xuan, his initially heated brain cooled down instantly. With a face full of apologies, he declined the woman’s request.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m with another person, and my partner is right here. It wouldn’t be right for me to switch with you alone.”
“You can find someone else to help you.”
“If you feel uncomfortable on your side, you can try finding a flight attendant and see if they can arrange a seat change.”
Zhou Qiang thought he had made a reasonable point. However, to his surprise, after he finished speaking, the woman in front of him suddenly had a drastic change in expression. She immediately picked up her child and started berating Zhou Qiang.
“You old jerk! If you didn’t want to switch seats, you should have said so earlier.”
“I wasted so much time here with you.”
“My lips are almost burnt from talking so much. You won’t even switch seats with me? Can’t you speak up earlier?”
“Can’t you see how much my child has been suffering? What kind of person are you? Are you trying to harm my child?”
“You’re useless! You won’t even switch seats. Are you still a man?”
Zhou Qiang: ???
The woman’s tongue was exceptionally quick, and she kept on ranting in a long string of words. Zhou Qiang had just received a bowl of instant noodles from Su Xuan when he heard this continuous stream of insults in his ears. It left Zhou Qiang dumbfounded.
“Lady…”
He took a deep breath and paused for a moment.
“I believe this situation shouldn’t be my fault.”
“I refused you from the very beginning.”
“It was your insistence on staying by my side and talking. Now that I’ve refused, you shouldn’t come to insult me, right?”
That’s right.
If Zhou Qiang hadn’t refused the woman right from the start but instead engaged in idle chatter and said irrelevant things…
Zhou Qiang would have deserved the scolding he was receiving now.
But the fact remained that he had refused the woman from the very beginning. It was this woman who kept holding her child and insisting on staying beside him, saying her child wasn’t feeling well and wanted to switch seats.
Now that he had declined, why was she coming to berate him?
However, after Zhou Qiang finished his sentence, the woman didn’t care at all. She just continued to hurl insults at him. The passengers around them were equally shocked. In fact, they had witnessed the entire situation just moments ago.
Just as Zhou Qiang had said, this matter had nothing to do with him at all. The woman was going too far by berating this young man.
“Hey, ma’am…”
“Isn’t what you’re saying a bit too much?”
“This young man refused you right from the start, and we all heard it.”
“Since you knew your child wasn’t feeling well, why didn’t you move and insist on staying here? Are you taking advantage of this young man’s patience to bully him?”
“Just as this young man said, why not find a flight attendant and switch seats directly?”
“And by berating him like this, does it serve any purpose for your child?”
The surrounding passengers couldn’t bear it anymore. They immediately spoke up against the woman. However, when these passengers spoke up, the woman went on a verbal rampage and confronted them.
“You useless people, what right do you have to talk to me?”
“I just requested you to switch seats with me earlier, and none of you were willing.”
“Now, it’s too late for anything.”
“What’s the matter? Do you think you’re powerful? When I begged you to switch seats earlier, why didn’t you think you were so powerful?”
“Damn it!”
“My son has turned into this! It’s all your fault!”
“Especially you!”
As she spoke, the woman turned to point her finger directly at Zhou Qiang’s nose. “If it weren’t for your whining, I would have gone to find a flight attendant long ago. Now, my son has fainted…”
“You must take responsibility for this!”
Fainted?
Zhou Qiang and Su Xuan instinctively looked at the boy the woman was holding. They saw that the boy had a healthy complexion, and his breathing was steady.
Clearly, he had fallen asleep!
Their faces twisted in disbelief as they looked at the child in the woman’s arms, their mouths twitching speechlessly.
This…fainted?
“If you’re trying to extort money, you’ve picked the wrong person.”
“This has nothing to do with me.”
“Even on a high-speed train, there are police officers. If you’re planning to extort money from me, I’ll just call the police.”
Zhou Qiang spoke sternly.
However, to their surprise, the woman chuckled upon hearing his threat and pulled out her phone, pointing it at Zhou Qiang’s face and started recording.
“You’re going to call the police, huh?”
“Well, go ahead and call the police if you have the guts. I haven’t called them yet, so who are you to call the police?”
“My son is suffering because of you!”
“You owe me medical expenses for my son!”
“If you hadn’t refused to switch seats earlier and kept me here, I would have taken my son to another compartment by now!”
“This is all your fault. You need to compensate me, or else I’ll call the police!
The police will come and charge you for your crimes!”
The woman declared defiantly.
She wore a mocking expression on her face, coldly staring at Zhou Qiang before saying, “Besides, you claim to have refused me from the start, but who heard you? Who heard it?”
“This situation can be easily resolved for two thousand bucks!”
Sul Xuan:…
Zhou Qiang:…
Zhou Qiang had never encountered such a shameless person before. While he had dealt with various parties and family members in his cases, encountering someone like this was truly a first.
His lips twitched slightly as he glanced at Su Xuan. Su Xuan…
Su Xuan immediately pulled out handcuffs.
*Click!*
The cold sensation gripped her wrist as the woman, who had been vehemently berating Zhou Qiang, suddenly fell silent. The people who had been chattering away in the background also stopped.
Everyone watched in shock as this unfolded.
The woman slowly lowered her head, looking at the object on her wrist, her eyes widened. It took her a moment to realize what was on her wrist.
“Ha… handcuffs!?” she muttered to herself, her eyes widening as she finally grasped the situation.
“Hands, handcuffs!”
She mumbled to herself, her mind racing, and then suddenly looked up at Su Xuan, her eyes wide.
“Ah, help! There’s a maniac!”
“What are you doing? Let go of me!”
“Are you insane? Suddenly pulling out handcuffs to restrain me…”
“Quick, release me! You sicko!”
“Help, help me! This pervert is trying to harm me. Please, someone help!”
The woman’s voice echoed throughout the entire train carriage. However, the passengers who had just been speaking up for Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang moments ago had now fallen silent. At this moment, even they were unsure of what was happening.
“What the heck! What’s going on?”
They couldn’t quite grasp the situation. Why did this young man suddenly pull out handcuffs? Was he a police officer? If so, why didn’t he show his credentials earlier? And even if he was a cop, could he just arrest someone like that? The woman had made a mistake, but did it warrant an arrest?
The passengers were left bewildered..
