"You guys aren't plotting something bad behind my back, are you?"

The girl's joke caused both men to change their expressions in an instant, but only for a moment before they returned to their usual nonchalant demeanor.

"How could that be! We've been together for so long, how can you still doubt me like this? Since you don't trust me, why don't we get off at the next stop and I'll take you home?"

Seeing this, the girl knew that her words had upset him. In her opinion, she had asked to go to her boyfriend's house this time in order to settle their relationship and prevent her boyfriend from being seduced by other women.

If they were kicked off the bus halfway through the journey, could their relationship still be saved?

The girl remained skeptical.

"No, Ah Rong, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I brought so many gifts for my uncle and aunt. It would be such a shame if I couldn't deliver them to them."

The man named Arong looked reluctant. "Of course I didn't want this, but you doubted me just because I said a few words about family. How could I not be heartbroken?"

The girl immediately transformed into a clingy girlfriend, hugging and nuzzling Ah Rong's arm. "I know I was wrong. I promise I'll never doubt you again. Please don't take me home."

Where the girl couldn't see, Ah Rong and the man next to her exchanged a smug look.

Wang Nian walked out of the sleeper compartment and looked around. Seeing no suspicious people, he switched the items to his left hand and opened the note he had hidden in his right hand.

Upon seeing the note, Wang Nian immediately wanted to rush back to the private room. He was worried about leaving Gu An'an with two people with ulterior motives.

But after reading the instructions at the end of the note, he held back.

Sister An is still safe, so there's no point in him going back. But if he doesn't arrange everything properly, things might change later.

After only two seconds of thinking, Wang Nian ran to the train police officer, explained the situation, and drew the officer's serious attention.

How did you know?

"They were speaking their local dialect, which I couldn't understand, but my sister is a good student and has an extraordinary talent for languages, so she could understand it."

They assumed no one could understand them, so they whispered their plot in the private room. My sister's idea was that since we didn't have evidence yet, we should wait until they made their move before we acted, so we could catch them red-handed.

The train police officer frowned, not expecting such a thing to happen.

“My brother-in-law is a soldier. He often teaches my sister how to identify and deal with bad guys at home. So if my sister says those two are not right, then they definitely are. Please take this seriously, especially at night. Keep a close eye on them.”

Wang Nian couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to his sister An'an. Not to mention anyone else, he would never forgive himself.

"Comrade, don't worry, we will definitely send more people to keep an eye on it."

Wang Nian nodded and then explained the situation in more detail, "One of the men was with a girl, who was his girlfriend, but it seemed like she had also been scammed."

In Wang Nian's view, the girl was just a pitiful love-struck fool, not deserving of death.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, comrade."

After explaining the situation, Wang Nian hurried to get his food and heat it up. He didn't dare to be careless if he was away for too long, as it might arouse suspicion.

When he rushed back, he saw Gu An'an still looking perfectly fine, flipping through the book in her hand. His previously anxious heart suddenly calmed down.

"Sis, let's eat."

Gu An'an put down her notebook and tidied the table. When Wang Nian opened the lunchbox, the aroma filled the private room.

The boy who came later gave Ah Rong a look; only the two of them understood what was going on.

The fat sheep must be taken away!

"Auntie's meat is so delicious."

Influenced by Gu An'an, Wang Nian was also able to enjoy the meal in peace.

"I told you to come over for dinner this weekend but you wouldn't go. Now you know it's delicious."

Wang Nian scratched his head; how could he possibly go over every week to freeload?

"I will definitely go next time."

He'll earn more money during the holidays, and when he visits, he'll bring some novelties for the kids.

The two began eating as if no one else was around, completely ignoring the man's various hints and showing no intention of sharing, which angered the man so much that his expression cracked again.

And the more this happened, the more he wanted to take Gu An'an with him; perhaps this is the inherent weakness of human nature.

The two ate their meal slowly and deliberately, while the three people opposite them were also getting hungry and their stomachs were rumbling. However, neither of the two men took out any money to buy food; it was the girl who took out some money from her purse.

Actually, the girl didn't want the later man to take advantage of her, but she disliked the way he looked at her.

But considering that the other person was her boyfriend's friend, she still held back.

The journey passed peacefully for more than ten hours, during which time the train police came to check on us several times.

"Why does it feel like the checks are much stricter today?" the man complained in his hometown dialect.

Be careful.

The man named Arong also felt uneasy, but they only had a little over two hours before they could get off the bus, so nothing should happen.

Ah Rong comforted himself with this thought.

They glanced at Gu An'an and Wang Nian, who were "sound asleep," and exchanged glances.

Time passed minute by minute, but Wang Nian showed no signs of sleepiness, remaining stiff and motionless.

In times like these, time seems to drag on the longest.

Just when he thought that the night would probably be peaceful, the bed opposite him moved.

Although the movement was very small and subtle, he noticed it immediately.

As he sensed the faint footsteps approaching, Wang Nian's nerves tensed up more than ever before.

Gu An'an, on the other hand, was much calmer than him, not even blinking.

Upon smelling the faint scent, I immediately held my breath and concentrated.

Although Wang Nian's reaction wasn't as quick as hers, he was prepared and didn't inhale much.

Not only did they not fall for the trick, the two even put on a show, making each other believe that they had been tricked.

"We're almost there, let's get going."

"There's still time, let me..."

The man then reached out and tried to reach where he shouldn't have. He didn't think about how he would get the person involved; he figured it would be good to take advantage of them a little.

Just then, Gu An'an suddenly opened her eyes, staring at the other person with cold eyes, and quickly snapped off the hand that was reaching out to her.

"ah!"

A scream rang out in the private room, especially at three in the morning; it was a true midnight terror.

The moment the scream rang out, Wang Nian jumped off the bed and grabbed Ah Rong, who was trying to run away when she realized something was wrong.

While fighting with the other party, he shouted, "There are thugs! Come quick!"

Passengers who had initially come to check the situation after hearing the commotion stopped when they heard there were criminals, but still peered out from the doorway.

I didn't leave the compartment until I saw the train police rush over.

When the train police arrived, the man who had tried to take advantage of Gu An'an had already had his hands dislocated by her and was now writhing on the ground in pain.

Meanwhile, another person was fighting desperately with Wang Nian.

Hearing hurried footsteps approaching, he knew he had to take some action, or he was doomed.
