"Oh no! The letter of introduction and the money are both gone!"

"I was hoping to switch sleeper berths with someone, but now I've lost my letter of introduction and I'll probably be deported!"

"People shouldn't have bad intentions, or their luck will turn bad!"

The surrounding crowd chattered amongst themselves, all somewhat gloating over the mean old lady losing her money.

The middle-aged man panicked and quickly went to the old woman's side to help search: "Mom, where did you put the letter of introduction and the money?"

"I...I put it in this pocket, and I even sewed it up with thread!" The old lady reached into the pocket, and with a sudden force, her hand pierced through the bottom of the pocket.

"Oh my God!" She collapsed to the ground, pounding her fists on the floor, wailing and crying, "That heartless thief! He ripped my pockets open! My money! It's all gone—"

The crying voice was melodious and varied, as if it were singing.

The middle-aged man's lips trembled as he said, "Mother, are you sure you're not mistaken? Did you put the letter and money somewhere else?"

The old woman looked up and scolded, "Do you think I'm too old to remember anything? I sewed all these things into my pockets overnight before I left the house, how could there be any mistakes!"

The flight attendant quickly knelt down and comforted the old lady, "Auntie, think back, when you boarded the train, your pockets were perfectly fine, weren't they?"

The old woman nodded while wailing, "When I got on the bus, I was still holding my pockets, they were bulging, and my things were still there."

"In that case, the item must have been stolen after boarding!" The attendant stood up, looking left and right, trying to spot someone with shifty eyes.

Chang Kun activated the system's sensor the moment the old lady began to mourn, and discovered a group of thieves waiting five or six carriages away from his own.

However, he didn't immediately want to meddle and help catch the thief.

The old lady and her family were really disgusting when they changed seats. He wasn't going to be so kind as to repay evil with kindness. He'd let them cry for a while first.

Chang Kun held Cheng Min's little hand and watched the excitement with a smile.

The surrounding crowd was noisy, and very few people showed any sympathy for the old lady and her family.

After wailing for a while, the old lady wiped her snot and tears on the flight attendant, looked up at the crowd, and suddenly stared intently at Chang Kun.

"It's you! It must be you!" she shouted, pointing directly at Chang Kun. "It must be you who refused to switch seats with me and stole my money!!"

The people of Changkun were dumbfounded.

How can there be such a shameless person? He tried to force a seat change, and now that he's lost money, he's trying to frame himself.

He shrugged, letting the old lady say whatever she wanted.

I can't exactly beat her up, can I? If I do, that old woman will probably lie on the ground and try to extort money from me.

Cheng Min, not one to back down, stood with her hands on her hips and retorted, "You old lady, you need to take responsibility for your words! We didn't even leave the carriage, how could we steal your money?!"

The train attendant quickly reassured her, "Auntie, I saw it clearly just now. Those two people didn't even leave the carriage. It couldn't have been them who stole it."

He had just read the two people's letters of introduction. A family that could issue letters of introduction that could be used nationwide must be extraordinary. His second aunt could not afford to offend them.

"I don't care, I don't care!!" The old woman lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum, slapping her thighs with both hands. "Oh dear, all of you are bullying this old woman, stealing my money, that's my life-saving money..."

Snot and tears flowed out like they were free. Even Chang Kun had to praise him, saying that his acting skills in bringing tears to his eyes on cue were better than most actors in later generations.

The train attendant was sweating profusely with anxiety. This was a sleeper carriage, and if the old lady's unreasonable behavior offended any important person, he couldn't bear the consequences.

Little did he know that the crowd, who rarely had a place to watch such a spectacle, were eager for the old lady to put on a longer show.

"It's him! He's the one who stole it! Little Stone, you better call someone to arrest him right now!" The old woman bared her teeth and brandished her claws, pointing at Chang Kun and shouting fiercely.

In her opinion, if Chang Kun hadn't refused to change seats, she wouldn't have had to wade through the crowded carriage, and her things wouldn't have been lost.

Chang Kun raised an eyebrow at the flight attendant: "You can give it a try."

The flight attendant gave a wry smile and pulled the old woman along, saying, "Second Aunt, let's hurry and look for the thief somewhere else. If he gets off the train, it'll be too late!"

Just then, a skinny, sleazy old man squeezed through the crowd, glaring at her and yelling, "You old hag, what are you doing sitting on the ground? You've made my clean clothes dirty!!"

Before the old woman could reply, he turned to the train attendant: "Little Stone, when I came over just now, I heard your colleague looking for you. There was a burglary in carriage number three, and many people have lost things. They're crying and screaming..."

"Oh my god, you didn't see that scene! She was crying so terribly! I heard that someone's life-saving money for their child's medical treatment was stolen. That damned thief, he's a real scoundrel!"

The flight attendant was taken aback, then pointed at the old woman and said, "Second Uncle, are those people crying as badly as my Second Aunt?"

"What do you mean?"

"My second aunt's pockets were robbed, and her money and letter of introduction are gone!" The second uncle was a little hard of hearing, so the flight attendant shouted very loudly.

"Huh?" The old man blinked, and it took him a moment to realize what he meant.

"You old hag!" The old man turned around and slapped the old woman across the face.

"I told you to manage the money properly, and you lost it? I couldn't pay back this money even if I sold you!"

Despite his thin appearance, the old man was surprisingly strong. He punched and kicked the old woman on the ground, making her cry out in pain, but she couldn't get up.

"Second Uncle, stop hitting him! Let's catch the thief first, or he'll all be gone!"

"Hey! Yes, yes, Little Stone, you're right!" He turned and kicked the old woman again. "Get up now!"

This family is really eccentric. The onlookers wished they had a small stool and some sunflower seeds and soda.

The flight attendant helped the old woman up and led the family out of the carriage. After taking a few steps, she turned back and said softly to Chang Kun, "Sorry, comrade, I apologize for what happened earlier."

Chang Kun nodded slightly. This flight attendant was quite different from his eccentric relatives.

Let's see if the police on the train can catch the thief. If they can't, it's not too late to take matters into my own hands.

After all, the money those thieves stole included many people's life-saving funds.

Cheng Min tugged at Chang Kun's hand: "Aren't you... going to come and take a look?"

The girl was kind-hearted; she knew Chang Kun's ability to catch thieves, and even though the old woman had been throwing a tantrum, she still wanted Chang Kun to help.

Chang Kun smiled slightly: "Don't overthink it. We'll deal with it when the police on the train can't resolve it."

There's no result yet, so I can't interfere. Otherwise, whether I do something good or bad, I might annoy people.
