At that moment, the thief was heading in Xia Xiao's direction, even showing a trace of ferocity when he saw her, probably intending to take her hostage. However, before he could even get close, she suddenly grabbed a brick and slapped him down.
There was a sudden gasp throughout the train carriage, as no one had expected such a gentle and pretty girl to be so fierce.
"Ouch," the thief cried out in pain, rolling on the ground, and in an instant, He Xuebing caught up and subdued him.
"Bravo," everyone cheered in unison.
Then someone else exclaimed, "Hit him, hit him, the damn thief."
Soon after, the train attendants came out, one of whom Xia Xiao recognized—it was the one who had asked her for a letter of introduction before.
After the thief was taken away, that train attendant said to Xia Xiao, "Comrade, I remember you, Educated Youth Xia from Guangming Production Team of * County, hello, thank you for your bravery."
