Chapter 549: Chapter 549

"No, we must call the police," Lin Chen insisted.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, both Xia Qingqing and the woman showed angry expressions on their faces.

Initially, Xia Qingqing thought Lin Chen was helping her, but now she realized that he was actually setting her up.

The middle-aged woman and the burly man were even more anxious. They originally planned to sell the girl, but hearing that she seemed wealthy and had reluctantly agreed to compensate, Lin Chen insisting on calling the police was the last thing they wanted.

Once the police were involved, not only would the money be gone, but they might even attract police scrutiny.

Xia Qingqing said angrily, "My issues are none of your business. I'm willing to pay the money."

"Exactly, are you looking for trouble? If you meddle further, watch out for my fist," the burly man threatened menacingly.

Hearing their comments, Lin Chen smiled and said, "What's the matter, are you scared of the police? You're all in this together trying to scam this lady's money, aren't you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the woman said somewhat frantically.

"What? Am I wrong? You lure the fish, and once she bites, the strong man comes out to play the hero," Lin Chen said calmly with a smile.

The burly man's face turned furious: "Kid, if you talk nonsense again, I won't be polite to you."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Talking nonsense? I have evidence."

As he spoke, Lin Chen took out his phone. He had captured the entire scene of Xia Qingqing helping the woman.

In the video, as Xia Qingqing was helping the woman, the woman secretly slipped a wallet into Xia Qingqing's pocket.

Upon seeing the video, Xia Qingqing's face turned ugly.

"You malicious woman! I was just trying to help you, and you set me up," Xia Qingqing finally understood the malevolence of human nature.

Many people in the car also began angrily accusing the woman.

"This woman is despicable, using others' sympathy to frame them."

"Right, I thought her wallet was really lost, but it turns out they're all fraudsters."

"The girl was just trying to help her, but she turned around and bit the hand that fed her. She really has no conscience."

With the plan exposed, the woman's face turned ugly, and she gave a sinister glance to the burly man.

The burly man showed a ferocious smile, waved his hand to the others, and said, "Take this man and woman out to the corridor."

As he spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on Lin Chen's shoulder, "Kid, this was none of your business. By meddling, did you think you were looking for trouble? Since you're asking for it, I'll oblige."

The burly men then proceeded to pull the two away.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the car lowered their heads, knowing well the capabilities of this group. Disturbing them would bring disaster upon themselves.

Lin Chen gave Xia Qingqing a cold smile and said, "See that? Now do you understand what happens when you meddle in others' affairs? You look out for others, but they don't necessarily look out for you."

Xia Qingqing, full of regret, yelled to the others in the car, "Please help us, even just a phone call to the police would help."

The burly man snorted coldly and pulled out a shiny knife from his pocket. "I'd like to see who'd dare to call the police."

Upon hearing the burly man's words, the entire car fell silent; everyone turned their heads away, revealing the warmth and coldness of the world.

Xia Qingqing continued to struggle, but Lin Chen was unusually compliant, letting the burly men carry him out.

"Pretty lady, learned your lesson this time? Next time you want to meddle, better open your eyes wide," Lin Chen said with a laugh.

"Look, buddy, stop lecturing me and start thinking of a way out," Xia Qingqing said anxiously.

At that moment, seeing Lin Chen being captured just like herself, Xia Qingqing felt some regret, blaming herself for getting Lin Chen involved as well.

A few burly men pulled Lin Chen and Xia Qingqing to the connection between the train cars and tied them face-to-face with a rope.

While a few people were tying her up, Xia Qingqing knew to resist, but Lin Chen was very cooperative instead.

"Dude, you'd better tie it tight. Yes, like that, give it another strong tug," Lin Chen instructed while he was being tied up.

At this moment, Xia Qingqing was almost about to faint with rage. Whose side was this guy on, asking the others to tie him up tightly?

However, it didn't take long for Xia Qingqing to realize something was off and finally understood why Lin Chen was incessantly asking to be tied up tightly.

Because the two were bound face-to-face, this binding brought their faces almost together, her body pressed tightly against Lin Chen's chest.

No wonder this guy wanted to be tied up tightly; he was trying to take advantage of her.

Lin Chen, with his body bound to Xia Qingqing's, felt great.

Xia Qingqing was thinking about how to escape, and upon seeing Lin Chen's peculiar expression, she suddenly understood and her cheeks flushed red.

The big man said viciously, "Get a sack and cover these two up. Once we arrive at the station, sell the woman to the red-light district and the man to work hard labor in a mine."

That's when Xia Qingqing bit her lip and suddenly said, "Let him go. Whatever amount you want, I can have my family pay you."

Lin Chen looked at Xia Qingqing's 'nobly righteous' expression and couldn't help but laugh.

This girl seemed fragile, but she was kind-hearted and very righteous.

Actually, Lin Chen really hoped they would stay tied up a bit longer, but the train was almost at the station; he didn't want to be thrown off the train, especially since he still had a date lined up.

Lin Chen sighed somewhat helplessly. "Sweetheart, let the men handle bad guys."

As he spoke, Lin Chen shook his arm, and the rope binding them snapped with a snap.

"Holy cow, those muscular guys were taken aback." That was a thick nylon rope; how could it just snap like that?

Seeing Lin Chen break the rope, the burly men's expressions changed, and one of them took out a dagger and stabbed it toward Lin Chen's stomach.

But just as the dagger was about to pierce Lin Chen's stomach, it eerily changed direction and plunged deeply into the man's thigh instead.

The burly man's face changed as he fell to the ground with a thud.

The other three men's faces changed, and they all charged at Lin Chen.

A series of punches and kicks echoed through the train car's corridor, and all the passengers inside lamented, "Who knows what kind of shape this couple will end up in after the beating."

However, when the carriage door opened, everyone was stunned.

Lin Chen, holding Xia Qingqing's hand, returned to the carriage unscathed, while the braver passengers peered into the corridor.

They saw several burly men lying awkwardly in the corridor, all battered and bruised, a pitiful sight.

Sitting in her seat, Xia Qingqing looked at Lin Chen in shock. "Have you trained in martial arts? How are you so powerful?"

Lin Chen smiled lightly. "Of course, I'm the legendary martial arts master. Oh, and you said earlier you wanted me to read your palm, so come on, hand it over."

"Read my palm? Did I say that? I don't remember," Xia Qingqing said with a mischievous grin.

Lin Chen looked frustrated. "Beauty, you can't just leave me in the lurch ."
