The couple, whenever they were caught in an embrace, were sure to be exposed!
Therefore, Zhou Yu concluded that the man was lying.
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, the man instantly panicked. He hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly.
A moment later,
The man's eyes darted around, his neck flushing red.
He began to argue for himself.
"So what if I knew? It didn't concern you."
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs, or I won't be polite."
Seeing the man's indignant demeanor, Zhou Yu was immediately amused to the point of anger.
How bad could people's hearts be?
From the moment he discovered that the pregnant woman was faking her pregnancy,
Zhou Yu understood instantly.
The request to give up his seat was a sham; this couple was trying to extort him!
Even if the burly man had spoken up at the time, and Zhou Yu had promptly given up his seat,
The burly man would have found some other excuse to cause trouble.
And then demanded compensation from Zhou Yu!
Thinking this, Zhou Yu felt no need to show any mercy to the couple.
He directly said to the young female attendant,
"Go and get someone. Their actions today will surely be punished."
The young attendant's eyes widened almost to their sockets when she saw that the woman was faking her pregnancy.
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, she subconsciously nodded and hurried off to find the train conductor.
Seeing the situation turn against them, the burly man and his wife immediately panicked.
They attempted to stop the attendant, preventing her from calling for help.
But with Zhou Yu present, how could they possibly stop her in front of him?
In no time, Zhou Yu blocked the burly man's path.
He could only watch helplessly as the attendant sprinted away.
"Hey, you really are a busybody."
The burly man, enraged, began to curse Zhou Yu loudly.
But Zhou Yu ignored him, blocking their escape route to prevent them from fleeing.
Not long after,
The young attendant returned with the train conductor.
The conductor was a stern-faced middle-aged woman in her forties, much like a strict homeroom teacher from elementary school.
Upon her arrival, the conductor sized up the burly man.
It was clear that the young attendant had already explained the entire situation to her on the way.
The conductor then spoke,
"You two are quite something. You've already pulled this stunt four or five times on this train, do you think we're blind?"
Hearing the conductor's words, Zhou Yu's heart was greatly surprised.
He hadn't expected these two to be repeat offenders!
From the conductor's tone, it seemed they had scammed more than just one or two people.
"You've run into a tough nut to crack today; consider it bad luck. When we reach the next station, you'll come with me to the police office."
After the conductor spoke, the burly man became visibly anxious.
He quickly pleaded for mercy,
"Sister, we didn't do it on purpose."
"We're truly out of options!"
"If we had any other way, would we be doing this?"
"I hope you'll be lenient. Seeing as we haven't succeeded many times, please give us a way out."
After speaking, the burly man nudged the fake pregnant woman.
The fake pregnant woman seemed to snap back to reality.
She immediately dropped to her knees with a thud.
Before the conductor, she pleaded with a trembling voice,
"Yes, please, you have a kind heart, forgive us this once."
If it were an ordinary person, faced with such desperate pleas from the couple, they might have softened.
But the conductor was naturally a by-the-book person.
Moreover, this couple had repeatedly tried this on the train.
The conductor already had a strong impression of them.
She knew in her heart that
If they weren't punished now and were allowed to continue, more people would likely be extorted next time.
"Your misfortune is not an excuse for wrongdoing."
"The decision will be made at the police office after we disembark."
After saying this, the conductor stepped aside slightly.
At that moment,
Several strong young men, wearing attendant uniforms, appeared behind her.
They were likely from her shift.
This burly man was not a martial artist or anything similar; he had no fighting skills, only brute strength.
In front of so many young men, he was subdued in just a few moves, unable to resist.
The fake pregnant woman was also handcuffed and taken away by the conductor.
After the two were escorted away,
The conductor then looked at the young attendant and nodded in approval.
"Well done. I will report your contribution."
The young attendant was surprised and her face lit up with joy.
But before she could bask in her happiness for long, she immediately said to the conductor with urgency,
"Conductor, this is not my contribution."
"It was this gentleman here who saw through their scam and subdued them."
Although the young attendant desired credit,
She knew she couldn't take what wasn't hers.
Hearing the attendant's words, the conductor's admiration for her grew even stronger.
At the same time, the conductor's gaze fell upon Zhou Yu.
After appraising him for a moment, a rare smile appeared on the conductor's face.
"Sir, you are not an employee of our railway. Your reward will be issued by the police bureau."
"Thank you again. Otherwise, who knows how many more times this couple would have committed their crimes on our train."
In the previous instances, people had simply paid to avoid trouble, giving them some money.
Once they got the money, why would this couple stay put and wait to be caught?
They would have long since escaped with the extorted money when the train reached a station!
This led to the conductor being unable to find the couple when she wanted to.
It was likely that this couple never imagined
They would encounter a formidable opponent like Zhou Yu.
Not only did they fail to get away with it, but Zhou Yu also held them back.
Until the conductor arrived!
Meeting Zhou Yu was their downfall.
"It's nothing. It was the right thing to do."
Zhou Yu waved his hand.
If he had encountered this couple elsewhere, Zhou Yu would have handled it himself.
The reason he kept them waiting for the conductor was simply because
Zhou Yu did not want to act in front of a crowd, lest he be criticized.
"According to your ticket, the station is still twenty minutes away."
"Please rest in your seat for a while. She will come to call you later."
The conductor smiled faintly and gestured to the attendant beside her.
Zhou Yu returned to his seat.
Meanwhile, many curious glances were cast his way!
Although everyone in the carriage was an ordinary person, it didn't mean they were blind.
The display Zhou Yu had shown earlier, with just a glance, indicated his extraordinary nature!
Therefore, everyone privately speculated that Zhou Yu might be a retainer from some prominent family.
One by one, they considered how they could curry favor with Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu remained indifferent to their inquisitive gazes.
He simply closed his eyes and pretended to doze in his seat.
During this time, the attendant even brought Zhou Yu a cup of tea.
As soon as the slow train arrived at Yunhai City,
Zhou Yu immediately alighted.
