Wen Ran didn’t alert the enemy, nor did she tell the three ladies, after all, they didn’t have any money with them. As long as they stay quietly by her side, there won’t be any danger.
The man briskly walked past the crowd, then pretended to bend down unintentionally, contemplating grabbing the luggage and running away.
But...
Things didn’t go as planned.
He couldn’t take the bag away; he stumbled and fell flat on his face.
As for the reason.
Wen Ran held onto the hemp rope in her hand, smacking her lips. They had quite a few packages, and if they didn’t tether them together, who would trust piling them up by their feet?
She turned her head, looked at the man who fell to the ground quite solidly, and smilingly said, "Oh dear~, are you okay?"
The man’s nose was bleeding profusely, and he got up, embarrassed.
"You..."
He stood up and imdiately started blaming, "Damn, you little bitch didn’t put the belongings properly, nearly got killed."
Covering his nose, the man raised his foot to kick the luggage.
"Who told you to put your stuff in the aisle?"
This was clearly an attempt to stir up trouble.
The noisy carriage suddenly quieted down, and Mrs. Xiao instinctively stood up to defend Wen Ran.
Wen Ran pulled her down, "Sit down."
She teasingly said, "I’ll handle it."
Mrs. Xiao was a bit worried but remained silent, deciding to observe the situation first; she didn’t want to end up complicating things.
After all, looking at Wen Ran, she seed ready for this.
"Are you sure it was our stuff that tripped you?"
The man snorted coldly, "Otherwise, what? Pay up."
"How much do you want?"
Looking at the sticky blood on his hand, the man nonchalantly wiped it on his clothes, "Fifty."
"What?!"
Hongguo jumped up, "Fifty? Why don’t you go rob soone! Besides, who can prove you were tripped by our stuff?"
While arranging the items, they all had their eyes wide open watching.
Although occupying a tiny part of the aisle, everything was stacked neatly and tied up.
Unlike so careless people who just throw things down, occupying half of the aisle.
They didn’t even occupy a quarter of the aisle.
Nearby, a plump lady suddenly covered her mouth and giggled, "Oh dear, the young girl’s so small but has quite a temper."
"Utter nonsense, even not in the right, she manages to carry herself straight-faced."
"Exactly, these things shouldn’t be placed on the floor."
"Your stuff tripped the man; paying up is only right."
The scene was getting chaotic, sowhat uncontrollable.
Hongguo was fuming, "You guys..."
Wen Ran was not in a hurry; it was best to resolve the matter, but if not, then money could settle it.
However, her money was not easy to take.
But...
This was a last resort, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.
Wen Ran looked at the plump lady seated nearby and decided to drag soone down with her.
Stir the waters.
The murkier, the better for her.
With a smile, "Auntie, when talking about others, clean up your own ss first~"
She extended her hand, pointing at the luggage on the plump lady’s side, "In my opinion, who knows, maybe it was you who tripped the man."
The crowd followed her gaze.
It made sense.
Wen Ran’s luggage was neatly tied aside, though stacked high, taking up minimal space.
Yet the plump lady’s belongings, haphazardly placed, occupied half of the passage.
This perspective made it more likely that rather than Wen Ran’s stuff, it was the plump lady’s that tripped the man.
Plump lady: "?"
She was stunned; never expected that while watching the commotion, the trouble would suddenly land on her.
Seeing everyone’s gaze shifting, Wen Ran smiled, "Sir, don’t you think this makes sense?"
The man glanced at the plump lady without saying much.
Wen Ran’s group was marked as big fish to target, unwilling to let them go easily.
But the fat lady might have substantial ans too.
Poor families can’t produce such physique.
"You don’t say, there’s indeed a possibility," Xiao Chenxing seized the chaos and added fuel, "Otherwise, nobody spoke, yet she did."
"She’s more capable than others, or what?"
"Yeah, yeah," Hongguo joined in, "It seems her stuff tripped the guy, yet she shirked responsibility.
Seeing the misunderstanding, she rushed to solidify the matter.
Thinking we’re easy to bully!"
Mrs. Xiao stood up, rolled up her sleeves, her face looking unfriendly, as if ready to fight.
"What’s up, lady?" Her gaze stern, "Want to fight?"
Plump lady: "...?"
Wen Ran smiled brightly, turning to the man, "Sir, what do you think?"
Seeing Wen Ran’s group wasn’t easy to ss with, the man simply went along, "Ah, right!"
He turned fiercely towards the plump lady, "Pay up!"
The plump lady finally panicked, jumped up three feet, "I spit! Pay up? Pay what? Why should I pay?"
"Oh dear~" Wen Ran covered her mouth, smiling, "You’re quite aged but seem all bark and no bite.
Your stuff tripped the man; if you don’t pay, who will?"
"Indeed, indeed," Hongguo chid in, "In my opinion, fifty bucks isn’t enough! A broken nose isn’t a small matter, ought to pay seventy or eighty."
The crowd thought the compensation was too high, but no one wanted to be the one sticking their neck out.
After all, the three parties involved weren’t easy to deal with.
Better to stay entertained.
The man imdiately shifted targets, belligerently, "You bitch, pay up!"
"You, you..."
The plump lady was startled, dropping onto her seat, stamring, "You’re talking nonsense, why would I pay? This has nothing to do with !"
"Your stuff tripped ; if you don’t pay, who will?"
"Not ."
The plump lady offered a weak defense, and the crowd echoed, "Oh dear, dozens of bucks indeed is too much, but so compensation is necessary!"
"Exactly, considering the injured nose, so restitution is needed."
The crowd chiming in, the man raised his brows in threat, "Better pay up, or else..."
"Or what?"
The plump lady’s anger flared, "Dirty rascal, don’t think I didn’t see it; you weren’t tripped by our stuff.
Clearly, you had a greedy intent, wanted to steal, and slipped."
Even Wen Ran was taken aback, did she actually see it?
So...
This woman, she deserves condemnation!
Once these words were said, the crowd was even more bewildered, their gaze involuntarily falling on the man’s face.
Man: "?"
Isn’t this woman out of her mind?
They indeed saw it earlier, why pretend now?
Wen Ran smacked her lips, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, where’s the evidence?"
