Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 170 methods
Chapter 170: 170 methods
Su Yuanyuan took out two apples, one for each of them, and when the other two walked in, they saw the others eating fruit again.
In this era, and in this season, getting some fruit is really not easy.
Wu Zhiyong leaned over, "Comrades, I just saw you eating meat, that wasn’t from the dining car, right?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Yes, we brought it ourselves."
How naive, how could there be such supplies at this time?
"Comrades, we need to sit here to eat." The two brought their food back to eat. Tan Shaoting lifted his bedsheet.
The dining car still served vegetable cakes today, with sauerkraut filling, looking so dry, it must be really bad.
Tang Linglong thought about the aroma she smelled earlier, and then biting into the food in her mouth, she was very angry.
Her family condition is quite good. To let her eat meat is unrealistic. So she was very greedy.
But there’s no way, only what’s sold.
Su Yuanyuan sat on the bed, crunching on her apple. Tang Linglong felt she could smell the sweet apple fragrance.
Listening to the crunching sounds, her anger grew even more intense.
But she also knew that was other people’s food, she had no reason to throw a fit.
Wu Zhiyong just happened to see Su Yuanyuan. "Comrade. Do you have any more of the meat you ate just now?"
Tang Linglong felt satisfied upon hearing this.
"Sorry, we don’t even have enough for ourselves." A thorough refusal.
Tang Linglong was so angry she gritted her teeth. But hearing this meant they still had meat on them.
Su Yuanyuan got up to take the apple core from Tan Shaoting’s hand, then went out to wash her hands.
When she came back, she said, "The station is coming up soon, shall we go down for a walk?"
Tan Shaoting smiled and stood up. They both put away their bedsheets.
After they left, they continually used Divine Sense to keep an eye on the situation in the carriage.
"These two are clearly no good," Tang Linglong said viciously while eating.
Su Yuanyuan almost fell backward in anger upon hearing this. Who are these people? The two just took a walk outside.
"I really want to eat meat," Tang Linglong murmured.
Su Yuanyuan whispered to Tan Shaoting, "Do you think if they steal our stuff and get caught, would it expose that scum?"
"Why not try and see? I’ll open the lunchbox a bit, the smell of meat should waft out, right?"
Tan Shaoting used Divine Sense to open the lunchbox slightly, and the aroma of the sausage immediately spread out.
"They have meat. They’re just not giving it to us; I can smell the aroma," Tang Linglong mumbled.
Wu Zhiyong also smelled it. Eating this horrible food while smelling that aroma was truly torturous.
He watched the young woman across from him gulp. "I’ll find their meat and pay them double."
Tang Linglong was startled, "That doesn’t seem right, does it?"
"Seeing how much you want to eat while I can’t provide it, I’m willing to spend more to satisfy you, even if it means they resent us."
Tang Linglong blushed at these words.
Actually, Wu Zhiyong had been curious about these two youngsters for a while, but just hadn’t gotten the chance.
He knew their stuff was kept in the bag under the bunk.
So he squatted down, pulled out Su Yuanyuan’s bag, and just as he opened it, Tan Shaoting came through the door.
"What are you doing? Yuanyuan, go get the train police, someone’s stealing our stuff."
Su Yuanyuan originally wanted to catch them red-handed, but Tan Shaoting wouldn’t allow it, as he didn’t want to share their food with them.
"Comrade, you’ve got it wrong."
Tan Shaoting blocked the doorway, making it impossible for Wu Zhiyong to chase after Su Yuanyuan, who went to get the train police.
Tang Linglong was terrified; she knew they were in the wrong.
Su Yuanyuan quickly reached the police station. "Comrade, we’ve discovered something abnormal."
Then she briefly explained about Wu Zhiyong and her suspicions.
"We caught him going through our bags when we entered the carriage just now. Comrade, you have to interrogate him thoroughly; I think he’s a human trafficker."
An elderly train police officer nodded, "Alright, we understand. We’ll conduct a thorough investigation."
Su Yuanyuan brought three train police officers back. When Tan Shaoting saw them arrive, he clearly narrated what just happened.
"You, come with us to the security room." The older officer pointed to Wu Zhiyong, his daughter was around the same age as these girls, and he hated anyone who deceived young women.
This made Wu Zhiyong a bit anxious. "Comrade, I really didn’t."
"Come on, let’s talk back at the station, this isn’t the right place to resolve issues.
And that female comrade, please come along too."
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting watched as the two were taken away and followed as well.
Accusing Wu Zhiyong of theft might not be a big deal.
Su Yuanyuan specifically mentioned him being a human trafficker, so they would certainly intensify the interrogation.
Once all the records were completed, Wu Zhiyong admitted he wanted to eat Su Yuanyuan’s meat first, which left things at a standstill.
At that moment, the older train police officer entered the interrogation room, leaving only Wu Zhiyong inside.
"Comrade, can you extract a confession?"
"Yes, Uncle Liu was in the army before. He’s got a way with interrogating criminals. Girl, why do you think Wu Zhiyong is a trafficker?"
Su Yuanyuan laughed awkwardly, "It’s just a feeling, and the way he talked nonsense with that girl didn’t sound credible at all."
"Hmm, just wait."
Tang Linglong was in another room, because the fool said she wanted to eat meat and had Wu Zhiyong get it. She also said she didn’t intend to steal, and thought she’d pay them when they returned.
Su Yuanyuan was utterly impressed by her bizarre reasoning. There are indeed such foolish people, quite perceptive as an outsider yet clueless as involved.
After about two hours, the middle-aged train police officer came out. "He confessed, go take his statement."
Su Yuanyuan looked at the officer in admiration, he was amazing.
"Girl, your intuition was spot on. This man is indeed a trafficker, and specializes in selling women."
Su Yuanyuan huffed angrily, "I knew he wasn’t a good person."
Tang Linglong was right next to Wu Zhi’s room; unable to go out, she heard the voice from next door, so she pressed her ear to the wall to listen.
When she heard that Wu Zhiyong admitted to being a human trafficker, it felt like the sky had fallen. How could this happen?
Now she felt like she had no will to live. She had thought she could definitely live with him. So she didn’t refuse his advances. But what now?
