To be honest, the interior of Krabi station is even more rudimentary than the exterior. When passing through the ticket gate, there wasn't even a detection device; there were only a few ticket inspectors standing there checking tickets, and they didn't even have the opportunity to show their gun licenses.

This scene reminded Shen Ye of the news he had been reading about the security problems in Country T these past few days, and he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder there are so many robberies and shootings here, and the train station doesn't even have security checks."

They were having their tickets checked when they heard his words. A female ticket inspector smiled at him and said, "Sir, please rest assured, Krabi is quite safe. The things you mentioned only happen in some remote and impoverished areas, so please feel free to visit."

However, just as the female ticket inspector finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted in fluent Mandarin, "Robbery!"

But it seemed no one understood, so after realizing that the people around were unmoved, the voice switched to English: "Robbery!"

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and then Shen Ye saw a teenager carrying a small bag squeeze through the crowd and run towards the ticket gate. Seven or eight people followed closely behind him, chasing after him and shouting "robbery!"

"The security is really good." Shen Ye winked at the female ticket inspector when he saw this.

The female ticket inspector smiled somewhat awkwardly, but to Shen Ye's surprise, when the child rushed over, neither she nor the other ticket inspectors had any intention of stopping him. Instead, they all tacitly stepped back a few paces.

"Looks like the local gangs have a lot of influence here!" Shen Ye knew perfectly well why they were doing this. After a cold laugh, he rushed towards the child.

However, someone was faster than him. Jill, who had passed through the ticket gate before him, stepped forward and threw the child to the ground with a back throw.

Jill, a former police officer, flipped the still-stunned child over, expertly grabbed his hands, and used her knee to press against his lower back.

"Stay still, don't move." Jill had clearly done this job a lot back in Raccoon City, and she executed the procedure flawlessly.

Shen Ye had no choice but to pick up the small bag that had fallen to the ground and hand it to the few tourists who appeared to be Chinese who had just run over.

"Thank you, thank you so much." The woman who took the bag was a smartly dressed young woman. She took a breath and thanked Shen Ye, but she said it in English.

"No need to thank me, thank her. I didn't even lift a finger," Shen Ye said, pointing at Jill in Chinese.

"Are you Chinese?" The young woman was taken aback when she heard Shen Ye answer in Mandarin, while the others next to her quickly bowed to Jill to express their gratitude.

Seeing this, Shen Ye sneered a few times, then said to Jill, "Let him go, we should go."

Jill didn't want to waste any more time here, so she let go of his hand when she heard his words. The child, now free, had recovered a little and used both hands and feet to squeeze into the crowd, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Why did you let him go? Why didn't you take him to the police station?" Seeing Jill let the child go, an older middle-aged woman among the group asked, but she didn't ask Jill directly. It seemed she was too afraid to ask Jill, so she asked Shen Ye directly, and her tone was very impolite.

Shen Ye ignored her and told Jill and the others who had passed through the ticket gate to leave.

The tourists standing there could still vaguely hear Shen Ye muttering to himself: "Sure enough, foreigners still have more face in this era."

Upon hearing this, the younger ones blushed.

"Hey, how can this guy talk like that?" one of the older middle-aged men said with dissatisfaction, but no one responded.

"Let's go into the station too." After watching Shen Ye and his group walk away, the young woman who had just spoken to Shen Ye let out a sigh of relief and said to her companion.

Chapter 353! Bangkok Trip (Part 1)

(Okay, I forgot to add a chapter title to the previous chapter last night.)

……

Krabi is a tourist city. Although the main modes of transportation in the city are buses and airplanes, many people also choose to take the train. After all, the price is cheaper than airfare, the comfort is better than buses, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way, so there are still quite a few people.

The group waited by the platform for a while before a rare double-decker train slowly pulled into the station. Shen Ye and the others then took their tickets and began to board the train.

At this moment, Shen Ye noticed that the Chinese tourists who had been there earlier had boarded the same train carriage as them, and were also on the second floor. The young woman among them even greeted him in a friendly manner when she saw him.

Shen Ye waved casually at her, then began looking for seats—yes, they all had seated tickets.

The group quickly found their seats, but as mentioned before, their seat numbers were not consecutive and were scattered. Daqi and Shen Ye had to ask a kind person to switch seats with them.

Although most people initially disagreed with exchanging with them, they became more enthusiastic and understanding after Shen Ye pulled out a stack of bright green Franklin notes, and soon they gathered together.

Speaking of which, since this train is a double-decker, the seats are the common double seats, and they are the kind that face each other. There are a total of nine people in Shen Ye's group. After discussing for a while, Daqi took the initiative to sit down on one side.

Shen Ye naturally sat with Robert, while Fabiola sat opposite him, and Irina sat next to Fabiola.

As for Jill, she sat with Choi Ji-yun, Levi, and Soi. However, the two, who usually talked about everything, were only talking today, which made Shen Ye particularly curious.

However, now is clearly not the time to ask for the reason. Shen Ye plans to wait until Suo Yi's matter is over before asking the two of them properly.

While waiting for the bus to depart, the group of Chinese tourists actually switched seats with the passengers opposite Shen Ye. The young woman sitting on the aisle side smiled at Shen Ye again.

Shen Ye frowned, not wanting to talk to her, but the other party took the initiative to speak.

"Where are you from?" This is a very common question asked when foreign compatriots meet.

"I'm from the South," Shen Ye replied casually.

His casual answer displeased his young companion, a boy who looked barely twenty and whose face was still youthful. He said sharply, "There are so many provinces in the south, how would anyone know where you're from? Can you be more specific?"

But his tone displeased Roberta, who was standing next to Shen Ye, but before she could move, Shen Ye held her hand down.

"Does that matter? As long as you know I'm from country Z, that's enough." After reassuring Robert, Shen Ye glanced at the man.

The man was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head away dejectedly and stopped talking.

Upon seeing this, the young woman quickly said, "I'm sorry, my classmate has a bit of a temper. I hope you don't mind."

Shen Ye didn't speak, but simply nodded and turned to talk to Robert and the others.

Seeing that Shen Ye ignored her, the young woman was a little embarrassed. She didn't know what her companion had said to her, but she just shook her head. Then she looked at Shen Ye, as if she wanted to say something but didn't.

Shen Ye chatted with Robert and the others for a long time, but the train still didn't start. He glanced down at his tactical watch and realized that it was almost ten minutes past the departure time.

Just as he was wondering what caused the delay, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that someone claiming to be the train conductor said that the freight cars at the back of the train were being temporarily loaded with cargo and would be delayed by half an hour.

After listening to the broadcast, Shen Ye was speechless, thinking to himself that not only was the management here a complete mess, but the efficiency was also terribly low.

However, having a reason is better than delaying for no reason, so Shen Ye stopped complaining and continued chatting with Robert and the others.

After chatting for another half hour, the train finally started moving, slowly pulling away from the platform with a clanging sound.

To be honest, the sound of the train was quite soothing, so Shen Ye became drowsy as the train pulled away from the platform and started to accelerate.

Thinking that Roberta was there anyway, Shen Ye simply closed his eyes, leaned on her shoulder, and pretended to doze off. His action attracted the attention of the Chinese tourists, especially two of the men, who looked at him with envy.

……

Shen Ye woke up, not knowing how long he had slept, because he needed to pee.

With some difficulty, Shen Ye opened his eyes, removed himself from Robert's shoulder, and stood up.

Robert hadn't slept at all. Seeing Shen Ye get up, he asked with concern, "Are you not sleeping comfortably? Why don't you lie on my lap and sleep?"

Shen Ye shook his head: "No, I just need to go to the restroom."

“Then I’ll go with you.” Robert stood up as well.

Shen Ye continued to shake his head, then pointed to Fabiola and Irina, who had their eyes closed and seemed to be asleep: "Keep an eye on them, don't let thieves or anyone else get close to them."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Fabiola opened her eyes. She hadn't been asleep; she had only been dozing.

Robert smiled at him and said, "So, may I come with you?"

Shen Ye thought about it and still refused. He was already a grown man, how could he need someone to accompany him to the toilet? It would be embarrassing to tell anyone.

Seeing that Shen Ye refused again, Robert had no choice but to sit back down, looking unhappy.

Shen Ye gently patted her shoulder, turned and walked towards the restroom. As he passed Jill and the others' seats, he noticed that only Cui Zhiyun was asleep among the four of them, and she was leaning on Jill's shoulder, as if they had reconciled.

Jill and Levi both noticed his gaze and looked at him at the same time. Shen Ye then pointed in the direction of the toilet and whispered, "I'm going to use the toilet."

The two then turned their attention away and continued to idly flip through the magazines on the train.

When Shen Ye arrived at the toilet door, he found someone inside, so he had to wait at the door.

After waiting for a while, the toilet door opened, and the person who came out was actually the young woman who had spoken to Shen Ye before.

Seeing Shen Ye standing at the toilet door, the woman blushed slightly and quickly came out to make room for him.

Shen Ye didn't say anything, went inside to close the door and let the water out, lit a cigarette, took a few deep drags, and then came out.

To his surprise, the woman was still at the door, seemingly waiting for him.

"Is something the matter?" Shen Ye asked, frowning.

"No...it's nothing." The young woman lowered her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um...I just wanted to apologize to you."

"You already said that." Shen Ye was a little confused about what this woman was thinking.

"But you haven't accepted my apology yet," the woman said with a hint of anxiety.

So that's the reason... Shen Ye was speechless. He looked at the woman in front of him, who seemed to be a college student, and nodded, saying, "Alright, I accept your apology. Now, may I leave?"

But the other person hesitated and said, "Um...can we get to know each other?"

Then, without waiting for Shen Ye to speak, she introduced herself: "My name is Lin Xue..."

Shen Ye interrupted the other person: "Sorry, I'm not interested in what your name is."

After saying that, he ignored the other person's disappointed expression and walked back to his seat without looking back.

However, he hadn't taken more than a few steps when the train suddenly began to shake violently, followed by several loud noises from behind the train.
