Alright, since you have the props, Lin Feng doesn't mind confiscating her items first.
Without seeing Lin Feng make any moves, the "Child" inside the girl's belly was already taken into the magic ring by Lin Feng. He directly approached her and interrupted her actions, whispering in her ear, "I made your belly flat."
Xu Meng felt something was off today. She was focused on dealing with a sheep when suddenly, the pouch on her belly disappeared. Before she could react, a man came over and said that to her, then left without any hesitation.
Xu Meng wasn't foolish; she knew that this man wanted her to find a place to talk.
"Alright, I want to see what you're made of for daring to touch my props," Xu Meng was genuinely angry at Lin Feng's audacious behavior and planned to teach him a lesson for stealing her items.
Thus, Lin Feng walked ahead with a smile while Xu Meng followed behind, gritting her teeth, as they arrived at the Smoking Area.
At the entrance of the Smoking Area, Lin Feng boldly walked in and addressed several men inside who were indulging in their smoking habit, saying, "Smoking is harmful to health; put out your cigarettes."
Those men were not pushovers, but when Lin Feng revealed a handgun, they immediately fell silent. Anyone with half a brain would know how to react when faced with someone armed.
Without hesitation, they extinguished their cigarettes and hurriedly left.
Lin Feng was quite satisfied with their cooperation and opened the door to the smoking room for them.
He then let Xu Meng enter.
"You still have a gun?" Xu Meng was surprised that Lin Feng was carrying a firearm. She even felt like stepping back; she was just a skilled thief and knew she wasn't qualified to deal with someone armed.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Lin Feng noticed her fear of his gun and smiled while fiddling with it.
"I..." Xu Meng was quite aware of the situation; instead of arguing back and provoking Lin Feng, she hesitated to speak. However, her eyes were already scanning for an escape route.
To know, a thief not only excels at stealing but also at escaping. One could say that possessing excellent escape skills gives them another life.
Lin Feng felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to tease the person in front of him, who was not much younger than his little sister back home, with a toy gun. So he simply tossed the gun to her without any explanation.
Xu Meng had never seen a handgun before, and when Lin Feng suddenly threw one at her, she found it hard to handle. Fortunately, her agility had been practiced long ago, so despite her panic, she managed to catch the toy gun that Lin Feng threw. However, since she was flustered, she was even afraid of pointing the gun at Lin Feng or herself.
Because according to what she had seen on television, this kind of gun could go off accidentally.
So she dared not act recklessly.
Watching the other person’s flustered demeanor, Lin Feng noticed that Xu Meng was making an effort to adjust the direction of the gun so that it wouldn’t point at herself. Suddenly, he felt that this female thief might not be beyond redemption and didn’t find her particularly annoying anymore.
However, Xu Meng had been around in society and had seen many different kinds of people. The reason she was intimidated by Lin Feng earlier was mainly because she had never seen a handgun before, let alone someone holding one.
But having never eaten pork, she had at least seen pigs run. From the feel of the gun and Lin Feng's relaxed expression, Xu Meng guessed that this handgun was probably fake.
Real guns weren't this light.
"It seems you're not very stupid," Lin Feng said with a light laugh as he easily read from Xu Meng's eyes that she had realized something was off about the gun.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xu Meng understood his meaning. However, being naturally cautious, she pointed the gun at the glass and pulled the trigger.
"Ah?" Xu Meng realized that the sound of a gunshot she had imagined did not occur; moreover, she couldn’t even pull the trigger.
"How could this happen?" Xu Meng wondered why it was like this.
But in the next moment, the handgun was no longer in her hands; it was now held by Lin Feng with a smile on his face.
"To shoot, you first need to take off the safety, got it?" While speaking, Lin Feng demonstrated and pulled the trigger against Xu Meng's forehead.
"Plop..." The Plastic Bullet flew from the gun towards Xu Meng's forehead.
This gun was a realistic replica, and inside it was just a Plastic Bullet.
But no matter how plastic the bullet was, hitting someone on the forehead like this could still potentially be fatal if luck was not on their side.
At that moment, Xu Meng was contemplating this very issue as she watched the Plastic Bullet flying towards her forehead.
She also knew that avoiding it was impossible now, and using her hand to block it—well, Xu Meng had to admit that this was the first time she had a gun pointed at her forehead. By the time she thought about blocking it with her hand, it was already too late.
However, the next moment brought another surprise that almost made Xu Meng cry out, as the Plastic Bullet she could no longer evade suddenly vanished just before it made contact with her skin.
Yes, Xu Meng could swear it just disappeared like that.
Gone without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
This was how Xu Meng felt right now. It was too unbelievable; she knew that she and Lin Feng were not on the same level at all.
Perhaps earlier, when Lin Feng silently took the pouch from Xu Meng's abdomen, she could explain it away as him taking advantage of her being focused on her work. But now, Xu Meng realized that she had been toyed with by Lin Feng.
Although this made her feel humiliated, it also left her feeling helpless.
"Here, this is for you; consider it a gift for our meeting," Lin Feng said as he opened his palm and handed a Plastic Bullet to Xu Meng.
Xu Meng stared blankly at the Plastic Bullet lying quietly in Lin Feng's hand. She had only known moments ago that Lin Feng was much more skilled than she was, but seeing the Plastic Bullet resting calmly in his hand shocked her. It meant that Lin Feng had intercepted the bullet with incredible speed just before it reached her.
Yet, she could not clearly see all these actions with her own eyes; in fact, she did not even realize they were happening.
Staring blankly at the Plastic Bullet that Lin Feng handed her, Xu Meng did not know what to say.
"What’s your name? How old are you this year?" Lin Feng casually asked while patting his hands.
There were only Lin Feng and Xu Meng present, so Lin Feng was naturally asking Xu Meng.
"Xu Meng, eighteen years old this year," Xu Meng could only answer honestly, as she suddenly felt that trying to play tricks in front of Lin Feng was completely useless.
"How long have you been in this line of work?" Seeing that she was relatively honest, Lin Feng continued to ask.
"Five years," Xu Meng thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
Although Lin Feng was prepared for her answer, he was still taken aback by Xu Meng's response.
Five years ago, Xu Meng was just thirteen years old. Lin Feng wondered what had led Xu Meng to engage in such activities at an age when she should have been enjoying school life.
"You can go now. I hope you won't make the same mistakes again. Find a proper job," Lin Feng suddenly felt that the thrill of playing with a thief had vanished. He waved his hand and said.
He did not ask Xu Meng why, even though she was about the same age as his sister. Although she had been living a life of hiding since she was very young, Lin Feng suddenly realized that there might be many more Xu Mengs in this world, or perhaps many who were even worse off than her. While he acknowledged this reality, he also felt that it didn’t matter; he couldn’t change it.
Thus, Lin Feng forced himself not to question why Xu Meng had started such a despised livelihood at the age of thirteen, even though he was curious to know.
Seeing that Lin Feng had no intention of making things difficult for her, Xu Meng took a deep look at him and then left without hesitation.
Although she felt that Lin Feng would not harm her, having survived alone in society since childhood made her aware that trusting someone, especially a stranger, often came with significant risks. Therefore, she dared not trust him and chose to leave directly.
Watching Xu Meng leave with great strides, Lin Feng suddenly felt a sense of fatigue and walked towards his seat, where Dong Jie was waiting for him to return.
Suddenly, he really wanted to see his sister. Perhaps only by seeing her still being well-behaved would he not feel so heavy-hearted.
"Jie Jie, here are the things you like to eat," Lin Feng said as he approached Dong Jie, feeling much better after suppressing his emotions.
"Yeah, Lin Feng, let's eat together," Dong Jie replied as she organized the food on the table.
"You go ahead and eat; I'm not hungry yet," Lin Feng said, leaning back in his chair with a heavy heart.
"What's wrong?" Dong Jie noticed Lin Feng's demeanor and stopped what she was doing to ask.
"Nothing. I just suddenly miss my little girl at home. I wonder how she's been these days," Lin Feng said without mentioning the thief to Dong Jie.
If he felt oppressed, Dong Jie would feel it even more. Women are inherently more emotional, so Lin Feng chose to keep it from her.
"Oh, right. But this year is different from previous years. You have enough ability to ensure that those around you live well. Besides, you'll be able to see her soon. When we get there, I'll accompany you to see Auntie and the others," Dong Jie comforted him, thinking that Lin Feng was just feeling homesick.
"Mm." Lin Feng nodded but then picked up a portion of food and started eating heartily.
The train was heading towards Lin Feng's hometown, but the matter between him and the female thief was far from over.
