64: Chapter 64 Come and kill me!

"He probably didn't mean it. The bus is crowded, let's just be understanding," the driver soothed the sisters. Feng Jiaxin thought for a moment, shook her head at her sister, and said, "Forget it, sister. It was probably just an accident."

"Then switch seats with me. You sit on this side." Feng Jiayue insisted on swapping with her sister and apologized to Shen Weiyue, "Sorry about that."

"It's fine, suit yourself." Shen Weiyue didn't mind.

Once the younger sister, Feng Jiaxin, stood up and sat on this side, he realized the sisters looked truly alike; they were almost identical from front to back. The only difference was that the younger sister had a very shy personality.

Before long, the middle-aged man who had gone to the Restroom returned, and the bus started up and got back on the road.

Without the chatter beside him, Shen Weiyue put his headphones back on to listen to music, and before he knew it, he fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was because the young woman beside him was shaking him awake in a panic.

Shen Weiyue opened his eyes and saw the terror in Feng Jiaxin's gaze. He took off his headphones and heard a heated argument erupting next to them, where Feng Jiayue was cursing loudly:

"You bastard! You still say it wasn't intentional? You weren't even blocked this time, what excuse are you going to come up with now? You were deliberately molesting my sister just now!"

"Your sister?" The middle-aged man was stunned, only then realizing the twins had swapped seats.

Everyone on the bus was staring at him, and unable to save face, he lashed out viciously: "You bitch, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll fucking kill you!"

"Then come on, come and kill me." Feng Jiayue was quite feisty.

"Fuck you, do you think I don't dare?" The man swung a slap, and the loud crack shocked everyone awake.

Feng Jiayue covered her face and began to cry.

While continuing his assault, the man roared at the onlookers on the bus: "What are you looking at? Whoever dares to meddle in this, I'll fucking kill them!"

The crowd's eyes flickered, and they fell into a heavy silence.

This only made the man more arrogant. With bloodshot eyes, he grabbed Feng Jiayue by the hair and roared:

"You slut, why are you pretending to be innocent? You'll just be selling yourself once you get to Shenzhen anyway. If you piss me off, I'll rape and kill you both. I'll kill you first, then your sister..."

Feng Jiayue hadn't expected him to be so savage, and she was so terrified that she even forgot to cry.

Feng Jiaxin was also trembling all over. Seeing that no one else on the bus dared to intervene, she could only grab Shen Weiyue's hand and beg desperately: "Brother Shen, please, help us..."

"Sigh, what a mess this is." Shen Weiyue sighed, stood up, and stepped out of his seat. "Let her go!"

The man hadn't expected this young, pretty-faced guy to actually dare to come over. He looked at him with a murderous glint and said: "You want to meddle?"

"You're a grown man, why are you bullying young girls? Do you really think everyone on this bus is a coward?" Shen Weiyue was not afraid.

"Then tell them to come! Let's see if they dare. You get lost too, or my knife won't show mercy." The man suddenly pulled a switchblade from his pocket and clicked the blade open with a swish.

Shen Weiyue's gaze sharpened, his heart filled with extreme vigilance, but he kept his voice calm: "Think clearly. Once you use a knife, the nature of this situation changes completely."

Before the man could lash out, he looked him straight in the eyes and continued: "Everyone is heading to Shenzhen to work and make money. At your age, you must have old parents and young children, right?"

"A wife, kids, and an elderly mother—your whole family depends on you to support them. Don't make a huge mistake because of a moment of impulse."

The man's gaze began to waver.

Shen Weiyue struck while the iron was hot and raised his voice: "When we got off the bus earlier, I saw your phone screensaver was a group photo. That's your wife and children, right?"

"Shut up! I'll kill you!" The man became agitated at the mention of his wife and children.

"Come on, come and kill me!" Shen Weiyue roared suddenly, shocking the man into a momentary silence.

"If you kill us, you'll face the firing squad and get executed. Then other men will sleep with your wife, beat your kids, live in the house you worked so hard to build, and throw your old mother into the cellar."

"At your age, your kids are probably only ten or so. In the future, other children will chase them around calling their father a rapist, a murderer. They'll never be able to hold their heads high for the rest of their lives."

"Even when they grow up, they won't pass background checks. No decent company will hire them, and they can forget about becoming government officials. They'll spend their whole lives just like you, doing manual labor..."

In his past life, Shen Weiyue had been a veteran Party member, so he had endless experience in ideological work and couldn't stop himself once he got started.

He spoke about elderly parents, wives, and neighbors, weaving a tragic tale about the children. He targeted the middle-aged man's soft spots, speaking so movingly that listeners were heartbroken and brought to tears; someone on the bus actually started crying.

Infected by the crying, the man fell silent, then became fearful, and finally, his eyes were filled with pleading.

The driver seized the opportunity to pull the bus to the side of the road and came over to mediate: "Brother, don't be impulsive. Wanting a woman is easy; when we get to Shenzhen, you can get one for a few dozen bucks. There's no need to land yourself in prison..."

"Take my advice, let this girl go. Everyone take a step back, and let's just call it even."

"You say call it even, but can you speak for her?" The man looked hesitant.

Feng Jiayue, held tightly by him, had long been terrified by the knife. Facing the driver's frantic signaling, she couldn't even speak.

Shen Weiyue sighed speechlessly, took over, and gave Feng Jiayue a look: "I can speak for her."

"Why should I trust you? Have you already called the police?"

"No need. You pay her two hundred yuan for emotional distress, and we'll call it even."

"Two hundred for a slap? Is she inlaid with gold or something, costing that much?"

"If you don't even have two hundred, why did you dare to hit her? You hit someone and pulled a knife; if we call the police, you'll be detained for at least half a year!"

Shen Weiyue signaled frantically to Feng Jiayue. The girl finally realized what was happening and nodded quickly in agreement.

The middle-aged man finally put the knife away and took out two hundred yuan for Feng Jiayue.

Once freed, Feng Jiayue ran quickly to her sister's side, and the sisters hugged each other, trembling.

After this incident, they didn't dare to go back and sit next to the middle-aged man again.

The bus was full, and no one was willing to switch and sit next to the villain, so the sisters took turns sharing one seat.

Of course, Shen Weiyue wouldn't give up his seat. They were just passing acquaintances, and helping them to this extent was enough.

If it had been some hot-headed youth, he probably would have let his blood boil and played the hero.

But with his extensive experience in working with the masses in his past life, he hadn't backed the middle-aged man into a corner. At the very least, he had stabilized the situation on the bus; otherwise, there would inevitably have been bloodshed or loss of life.

When the bus got back on the road, the sky was already beginning to brighten.

Feng Jiayue, still shaken, patted her chest and leaned in to whisper in Shen Weiyue's ear: "Brother Shen, can... can we still call the police?"

"That's up to you, but you should at least wait until we get off the bus."

"Thank you, you're a good person."

"Good people don't get good rewards..."

"They do."

Feng Jiayue suddenly grabbed his hand and placed it under her buttocks. Shen Weiyue's eyes widened.

"What are you doing?"

"I... I can tell you're not the same kind of person as us. I don't have anything to repay you with, but you saved my life, and I have to repay this debt. How about I just sleep with you for a night?"

"What the hell... Get a grip. I didn't help you for this. I'm not that kind of person."

"You stared at my butt, I know it... Don't worry, I've never slept with anyone. I'm clean. Are you looking down on me?"

Shen Weiyue was numb. Damn it, he just went on a long trip, why did he end up on a bus full of weirdos?

If she viewed her purity so lightly, then why didn't she just compromise when the knife was held against her? Why was she so eager to give herself away now?

Women really are strange creatures.
