Thinking of those people's gazes, his resentment grew even stronger.

He couldn't help but imagine that when he took over the Li family, he would make all those who had mocked him kneel before him and beg for mercy.

Qi Bowen bought a train ticket to Sichuan Province and waited for several hours at the station before finally boarding the train with great difficulty.

The car smelled terrible; he used to always have a car to take him on long trips.

Even if he came home late from school, his grandfather would have someone drive to pick him up. When had he ever ridden such a crowded train?

No, he couldn't accept living such a miserable life in the future. He was born noble, and he wanted to remain noble for the rest of his life.

He hadn't brought anything with him, and his stomach was growling with hunger. He did have some money on him, and he had never worried about money in recent years.

"Comrade, where are you going?" Qi Bowen was in a bad mood, clutching his luggage and looking out the window in a daze.

A person standing next to Qi Bowen glanced at the watch on his wrist and then enthusiastically came over.

"I'm going to Sichuan Province." Qi Bowen looked up at the people. He was used to being fawned over, and he didn't feel anything was wrong with him.

"What a coincidence, me too. I'm in Beijing on a business trip." Seeing that Qi Bowen was willing to talk to him, the man happily sat a little closer.

"You're from Sichuan Province? Do you know Kangping County?" Qi Bowen knew that his great-aunt's family was from Kangping County, and he had been there once when he was a child.

His memory was already hazy, but he remembered that his great-aunt's husband worked at the Kangping Steel Plant, and he should be able to find him there.

“Kangping? I know it. It’s in the next county from us. I used to go there on business trips quite often.” The man was very straightforward.

"Really? Do you know about Kangping Steel Plant?" Qi Bowen was unsure, so he asked hurriedly upon hearing this.

"I know," the man replied with a smile as he looked at Qi Bowen.

The two chatted all the way, and outsiders assumed they were together.

"Comrade, didn't you bring any food? I brought some, let's eat together." The man greeted Qi Bowen warmly.

"No need, I have money. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you." Qi Bowen was also hungry, and there were food vendors on the bus.

However, few people actually buy it; most people just bring some dry food to tide them over.

"I'm so sorry, please sit down, I'll go buy it. What would you like to eat?" The man was even more enthusiastic than Qi Bowen.

Qi Bowen would never let someone else pay for him; it would be too embarrassing to admit it. In Beijing, he always paid for everything, no matter who he went out with.

He doesn't lack any of these things. Once he finds his mother and returns to Beijing, he'll have everything he needs. Looking back, he thinks this person is very honest.

Thinking this, Qi Bowen got up and went out to buy food, leaving his luggage there for someone to watch over.

After Qi Bowen left, the man rummaged through his luggage and found some clothes, ten large bills, and some receipts.

He quietly took the money and tickets, then held his luggage in his arms and waited patiently for Qi Bowen.

"I ordered meat dishes, let's eat together." Qi Bowen was very generous, but he felt embarrassed.

If this were in Beijing, he would definitely take everyone to a state-run restaurant for a meal.

There wasn't much good food on the train, so he bought all the meat and vegetables he could find.

"How could I possibly accept that?" The man refused to eat no matter what he said, and after several attempts, he finally reluctantly sat down with Qi Bowen and ate together.

Over the next two days, the two changed trains together, and Qi Bowen even paid for their tickets.

But that person was busy running around, fetching water for Qi Bowen, serving him meals, and even keeping watch for him at night.

He took meticulous care of Qi Bowen, which made Qi Bowen very satisfied, and he found him even more pleasing to the eye.

After a long and tiring journey, they should arrive in Sichuan Province around dawn. Qi Bowen was exhausted from the trip.

Fortunately, he met a nice person, and Qi Bowen slept soundly and peacefully.

"Leopard, how's it going?" At the end of the carriage, several people crouched in a corner, watching their surroundings warily.

"I ran into a fat guy, and he almost emptied my pockets. He also had a watch on his wrist, which I'll take when I get off the bus tomorrow. That's all."

The guy called Leopard glanced in Qi Bowen's direction. He'd been serving Qi Bowen like a grandson these past two days, all because he had his eye on Qi Bowen's watch.

If he wasn't mistaken, the watch was a high-end item; he could simply take it when he got off the bus.

That idiot hasn't even realized the money is missing from his luggage yet; he's obviously a rich young master.

"Then be careful. We didn't make much either, just small change, we almost lost money."

The group shared their earnings. Luckily, Leopard had found a fat sheep; otherwise, the ticket price alone wouldn't have covered the cost of the trip.

"I know, be careful on your way back." Leopard waved his hand. Qi Bowen looked like he came from a well-off family.

He boarded the train in Beijing. Judging from his tone, his family was very powerful, but he wasn't afraid at all. People in this line of work never have a fixed place.

Once he gets off this train, he might not even recognize himself the next time we see him.

Leopard returned to the carriage and saw Qi Bowen sleeping soundly, seemingly unconcerned about being robbed. He chuckled.

The train arrived at the station early the next morning. The train was packed with people, as if they were afraid of being late and not being able to get off.

"Bowen, hurry up! You've never been on a train before, you don't know. If you go out too late, they'll close down."

Seeing Qi Bowen sitting there motionless with a look of disdain, Leopard stood up and tried to persuade him.

It's easier to make a move when there are many people around. Otherwise, if he makes a move, he'll be exposed.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Qi Bowen squeezed out with his luggage. He had no idea that this was Sichuan Province, which was a transit point for many people.

As long as he goes down within the allotted time, everything will be fine. Leopard knew that Qi Bowen didn't understand anything and was just trying to scare him.

Qi Bowen tried desperately to squeeze out, afraid that he would be left behind on the bus. At first, Leopard was still next to him, but later, with so many people pushing and shoving, he disappeared.

Qi Bowen finally managed to squeeze off the train, panting heavily. He never wanted to squeeze onto a train again.

He became even more determined to stay in Beijing, and when he saw his mother, he would do everything he could to make her feel as pitiful as possible.

After resting for a while, he remembered that the friend he met on the train hadn't gotten off yet.

He watched the car start to move and became anxious. What was going on? Hadn't the person gotten out yet?

He hadn't noticed anyone in the crowd, so Qi Bowen found a place to sit and wait.

I figured he must have come down too, and he must be looking for him as well.

After waiting for a long time, Qi Bowen realized something was wrong. The train had disappeared, and so had the person.

"He didn't leave first, did he? Humph, untrustworthy, really unreliable." Qi Bowen muttered to himself, picking up his luggage and preparing to set off alone.

After walking a few steps, he realized something was wrong. He raised his hand and found his watch was gone.
