When Gu Yunyang came over, Zuo Qiulin's colleagues all tensed up at the same time.
Zuo Qiulin also spotted Gu Yunyang immediately, and he was taken aback at first.
Gu Yunyang had been avoiding them before, clearly not wanting to trouble them.
This sudden offer—did they realize they've figured it out and want to build a relationship?
He was confident that he hadn't misjudged the person; this person shouldn't be the type to take advantage of a favor.
Gu Yunyang leaned closer and whispered, "Something's up."
Then he said loudly, "Brother Zuo, I've been on the bus all day and haven't eaten. I just happened to run into you here, could you treat me to a meal?"
It was lunchtime, and Zuo Qiulin, reminded by Gu Yunyang's first words, immediately chimed in, "Hey kid, what a coincidence! We haven't seen each other in ages since I started working. How's Uncle doing? Oh, right, it's lunchtime. I'll take you to the dining car to buy a boxed lunch. By the way, what are you guys having for dinner? I'll go buy it."
This last sentence was said to several colleagues.
They all said it didn't matter, but Zuo Qiulin laughed and said, "Alright, I'll bring back a few steamed buns and buy a box of vegetables while I'm at it. I just ran into an acquaintance, so I have to treat him to some braised pork."
The flight attendant who came to sell boxed meals just now said that braised pork will be served for dinner.
Their actions were so natural that they went unnoticed by others.
At most, some people might remark that they were incredibly lucky to run into an acquaintance while traveling and be asked to treat them to a meal.
The two arrived at the dining car one after the other. There weren't many people dining there. To make the act more convincing, Zuo Qiulin said, "Go find a seat and sit down. I'll go buy the food, and then we'll eat and bring it back to them."
Gu Yunyang nodded and found a spot in the very corner.
Zuo Qiulin returned quickly and gave Gu Yunyang a box of rice. He chuckled and said, "You really treated me to braised pork? I actually ate a box of rice earlier."
"Alright, hurry up and eat."
Zuo Qiulin smiled, then casually glanced around. He was facing the group of people behind him, which gave him a good opportunity to observe them.
Gu Yunyang had his back to the person and couldn't see them, but his senses were quite remarkable.
His spatial ability allows him to sense what's around him.
Even late at night, he won't fall.
"I originally wanted to go to the Northeast to buy some grain, but these days are tough."
Zuo Qiulin naturally believed Gu Yunyang's words.
He's the one who got this letter of introduction.
He nodded, signaling Gu Yunyang to continue, and Gu Yunyang then recounted his experience after getting on the bus: "First, there was an older woman sitting opposite me, who was holding a five or six-year-old child, who was dressed very well."
The outer fabric is made of Dacron, and the inner lining is made of silk. The workmanship is exceptionally meticulous, clearly the work of a master craftsman.
But the woman herself was wearing coarse cloth clothes, poorly made, and it was obvious that she had just sewed them herself.
In addition, the child has not woken up since we got on the bus, and I also smelled a slightly strange odor.
It seems to be the diethyl ether mentioned in chemistry class.
In addition, I encountered a pair of unreasonable grandmothers who wanted other people's food. I took the opportunity to make a scene and discovered that the grandmother probably had four or five accomplices. They were probably eyeing the other children in the carriage.
I don't know if they'll take action tonight or tomorrow.
I suspect they'll make their move tonight.
After all, a child can sleep seven or eight hours, but can't possibly sleep for days on end, right?
Zuo Qiulin felt a deep sense of unease; Gu Yunyang's words did indeed make sense.
Just as he was about to explain how to proceed, Gu Yunyang added, "That's not all. During that farce, I also discovered the 'snatching gang'."
"Huh? The 'cutting the sack' gang?" Zuo Qiulin was startled.
These people are incredibly dexterous; they can use a small knife to cut open a bag or slit a person's throat.
