Luo Gang returned half an hour later. She came to Zhu Yanyi’s side first.
"Miss, that person indeed had a gang. They are thieves. Usually, they pretend to be chased by someone to hide in a private room. Actually, they send people to check the guests first. Then they act at night. If you hadn’t smelled the anesthetic on her, no one would have guessed that seemingly honest woman was an elite thief."
"So, you caught them all," Zhu Yanyi said, understanding immediately.
Luo Gang nodded. "Yes. We don’t know if there are others behind them. That needs interrogation. We did what we could on the train."
Zhu Yanyi sighed with relief. "That’s good. I feel unlucky when traveling, but catching these bad guys makes me happy."
"Why do you feel unlucky?" Zhang Yan handed a pill to Luo Gang. After explaining its effects, she returned the bottle to Zhu Yanyi. She sounded curious.
Zhu Yanyi sighed, hugging her knees on the upper bunk. "On the way to Jingdu, I met child traffickers. Now, on the way back, I met thieves. Isn’t my luck terrible?" She sighed heavily, feeling very depressed. Why was she so unlucky?
The others coughed awkwardly. It was rare to travel and meet such trouble both ways. Their luck was speechless. They couldn’t lie and say her luck was good. Even if they did, it would just be self-comfort.
"Miss should think this way," Wang Wei said, following Luo Gang. "You removed a cancer from society."
"Hehe," Zhu Yanyi laughed dryly. "That’s probably just self-comfort." In fact, there was nothing else to say.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey was peaceful. Nothing else happened. Zhu Yanyi didn’t ask about the woman’s fate. It wasn’t her business. They arrived safely at Yaojiang Station, then took a bus back to Sicheng Town.
As soon as they got off, seeing the familiar scenery, Zhu Yanyi took a deep breath. "Jingdu is very prosperous, but Sicheng Town makes me feel relaxed."
"That’s probably the difference between a foreign land and home," Qin Tianxiang smiled.
Zhu Yanyi suddenly remembered their housing situation. She patted her head. "I almost forgot. I need to figure out where you four will stay."
"Don’t worry. We can stay in a guesthouse," Luo Gang smiled faintly. "Young Master Yan will reimburse us."
"No, guesthouses are uncomfortable," Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "My family is building a new house, but it won’t be ready soon. Once it’s built, it can hold more than four or five people. But for now, you have to split up. My house can only fit two more people. I’ll arrange for the others to stay in other houses. Those houses were left to me by several grandfathers. The road isn’t far. It’s only a ten-minute walk."
