146: Chapter 146 Is it worth it?

The gaze swept from her face to her neck, from her neck to her chest, and from her chest to her waist.

Her name was Shen Qingxue, and her destination for this trip was also the Holy City.

She grew up in the Holy City and was returning home this time, but she never expected to encounter such a thing on the train.

"Beauty, what's your name?"

Shen Qingxue did not look at him, nor did she answer.

The tall and thin man was relentless and leaned in closer, "I'm asking you a question, what's your name?"

"I... I'm called... Shen Qingxue."

The tall and thin man's eyes lit up again, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Good name... good name... the name is as pretty as the person."

Shen Qingxue turned her face toward the window and said nothing.

The tall and thin man lifted his hand from the seat back and reached toward her face: "Come, let Brother take a look to see if there is anything dirty on you."

Shen Qingxue's body shrank back violently: "Don't touch me."

"Not touch? If I don't touch, how will I know if you're hiding something?" His hand reached out again.

Wang Lin did not open his eyes, nor did he move; he couldn't be bothered with other people's business, nor did he want to.

But Chu Tian, whose sense of justice was overflowing, clearly couldn't endure it any longer.

Just as the tall and thin man's hand was about to touch Shen Qingxue's face, another hand reached over from the side.

It was Chu Tian.

His hand grabbed the tall and thin man's wrist and said: "That's enough. You've searched and you've rummaged."

"She doesn't have the thing you're looking for on her."

The tall and thin man's expression changed, turning from frivolous to gloomy.

He flung off Chu Tian's hand and said: "Who do you think you are?"

"We haven't searched her body yet, what if the thing is on her?"

Chu Tian did not back down; he was a Night Watchers, and the first iron rule of the Night Watchers was: protect civilians.

"I am a Night Watchers. A Reserve Member of the Night Watchers."

The tall and thin man sized up Chu Tian again and curled his lip: "A Reserve Member? You don't even have an official badge, yet you're trying to manage me?"

"If you don't let go, I'll stab you too."

The tall and thin man drew a knife from his waist; there was still uncleaned blood on the blade, the blood of the passenger from just before.

With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the knife was pointed at Chu Tian's chest.

Wang Lin remained sitting there, eyes closed, not moving, but his lips moved slightly as he cursed: "Idiot."

He had just told himself not to be impulsive, yet he ended up rushing in himself.

Wang Lin didn't intervene; he couldn't be bothered to deal with such hot-blooded youths.

He was not a savior, and as for the life or death of others, it had nothing to do with him.

The tall and thin man didn't waste words; he flicked his wrist, and the knife tip stabbed straight toward Chu Tian's heart.

Chu Tian did not retreat; his body shifted slightly to the side, the knife tip grazing his chest, and his right hand violently grabbed the tall and thin man's wrist; with his left hand clenched into a fist, he smashed it into the man's face.

The tall and thin man fell backward, crashing to the floor, the back of his head hitting the iron leg of the seat.

The people in the carriage watched this scene, their mouths hanging open, but no one spoke.

The tall and thin man didn't expect that this kid in front of him would actually dare to fight back?

He crawled up from the floor, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of anger and killing intent.

He spat out a mouthful of saliva, glaring fiercely at Chu Tian, veins bulging.

Just as the tall and thin man was about to rush up to deal with Chu Tian, a voice came from the end of the carriage: "Stop."

Iron Demon, the leader of the Red Snake Gang.

Hearing the commotion over here, he walked over.

Those blood-red eyes shone with cold light, and his iron hook scraped lightly through the air.

Wang Lin felt Iron Demon walking over, and his body tensed up.

His Mental Energy was like an invisible net, instantly covering the entire carriage, capturing every one of Iron Demon's movements.

He wondered in his heart whether he should strike immediately and catch him off guard?

Wang Lin slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket and let it hang by his side.

Iron Demon walked closer and closer, suddenly sensing something; he turned his head and looked toward Wang Lin's direction.

Wang Lin's expression didn't change at all; he nonchalantly reached out his other hand, scratched his head, and let out a yawn.

Iron Demon looked for a few seconds, saw no flaws, and withdrew his gaze; now was not the time to be distracted.

He shifted his gaze to the tall and thin man: "What happened?"

The tall and thin man lowered his head, stuttering and stammering, unable to say a single word.

Iron Demon frowned, then shifted his gaze to the short and fat man, "You speak."

The short and fat man's face turned white too, stammering, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "He... he wanted to harass that woman... and then..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Iron Demon had already understood.

Iron Demon narrowed his eyes, looked at the tall and thin man, and slapped him across the face.

The tall and thin man's face was knocked to the other side, and another mouthful of blood surged from his mouth.

He covered his face, not daring to make a sound.

Iron Demon said with undisguised killing intent: "Damn it. We are here to handle serious business, don't cause trouble for me. If you cause trouble again, I'll take you out first."

The tall and thin man lowered his head, not daring to look at Iron Demon, covering his face, his heart full of fear.

"Continue searching," Iron Demon said, then turned and left.

Iron Demon's back disappeared at the end of the carriage, and the few henchmen began to move again.

Shen Qingxue's lips were still trembling.

She looked at Chu Tian and said: "Tha... thank you."

"It's nothing. It's what I should do."

Chu Tian returned to his seat, his legs went weak, and he almost couldn't sit down properly.

His hands were still shaking: "Wang Lin... I was just... scared to death."

"I thought I was going to die. When that knife stabbed over, my mind went blank."

"My body moved on its own; I don't even know how I dodged it, but it scared me to death."

After a while, Chu Tian calmed down.

"Tell me, am I very stupid? Even though I couldn't win, I still stepped up."

"Even though I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business, I still did. Even though I knew I would die, I still rushed forward."

Wang Lin thought for a moment and said: "Yes. Very stupid."

Chu Tian lowered his head even further, like a child who had done something wrong.

Wang Lin looked at his dejected appearance and added:

"It is precisely because there are stupid people like you that those who are being bullied have someone stand up and speak for them."

"Those who hold knives in their hands don't dare to do whatever they want. There are already enough smart people; you are not needed."

Chu Tian was stunned; he looked up at Wang Lin, and a smile grew little by little:

"Wang Lin, thank you, only you say this about me..."

Wang Lin did not answer; he closed his eyes.

Chu Tian asked another question: "Then if it were you, would you do that?"

"No."

Chu Tian's smile stiffened: "Why?"

"I am a smart person; for me, your way of dying has no meaning."

Chu Tian's face turned red again.

Wang Lin continued: "Stupid people have the value of stupid people."

"Your value is not in yourself, but in those you protect."

"Without you, Shen Qingxue would have already been bullied. Without you, the people in this carriage would only be more afraid."

"Without you, the people from the Red Snake Gang would only be more arrogant."

"So you shouldn't ask yourself if you are stupid. You should ask yourself if it is worth it."

At this moment, the train jolted violently, the carriage shook intensely, and Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes.

A henchman from the Red Snake Gang ran over from the carriage connection, shouting at Iron Demon: "Leader, we found it!"
