Chapter 88: An incident occurred at midnight



The high-speed train stopped at Fuzhao Station for ten minutes. A seriously injured passenger boarded the business class train. The passenger's protective shield was damaged, his right arm was torn off, and he was covered in blood.

As soon as he got in the car, the man sat in the back seat and injected the suppressant into his arm while breathing heavily.

He Xueyi sat next to Gu Huaiwei. He seemed to dislike the smell of blood. Fortunately, there was a ventilation system on the high-speed rail, and the smell quickly dissipated.

Gu Huaiwei carefully observed all the strangers in the business class.

There were two customers of the Oasis Hotel. Gu Huaiwei remembered that they were from the upper city and had previously rented a family room for their children. After receiving the souvenirs, they left the family room vacant and rebooked the presidential suite, where they stayed for more than half a month.

When He Xueyi got on the car, she greeted the two customers warmly. There should be no problem with them.

There was also a woman sitting by the window. Her hair was a little frizzy, her face was haggard, her eyelids were drooping, her face had deep wrinkles, and her clothes were tattered. She didn't look like someone who could afford to fly business class.

Gu Huaiwei was a little cautious towards this woman.

At noon, robots in the business class distributed fruit-flavored nutritional supplements to passengers. The available flavors included apple, strawberry, blueberry, grape and durian.

Carl and the group of bodyguards rushed over. What they loved most was the free meal.

He Xueyi took the most sought-after strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement and handed it to Gu Huaiwei: "Here, this one is sweeter."

"I don't drink this." Gu Huaiwei gently pushed his wrist away, rejecting his kindness.

All the nutritional supplements in this world are not to Gu Huaiwei's taste.

She plans to eat self-heating hot pot later.

Xiao Ai came over, her eyes full of heroism. Her gaze fell on the strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement. She extended her robotic arm and said to He Xueyi, "If you don't like this flavor, you can switch with me. I have the durian flavor."

Durian-flavored nutritional supplements are loved by those who like them, but those who hate them can't stand the taste at all.

Xiao Ai belongs to the latter category.

He Xueyi looked at Xiao Ai, his silver hair fluttering gently as he lowered his head. He smiled faintly and placed the strawberry-flavored nutrient in her mechanical palm, saying softly, "This is for you."

Xiao Ai was stunned: "That's great."

"This one is for you too." He Xueyi took out two small green fruits.

"Thank you." Xiao Ai looked at the two emerald green fruits in her hands and felt that He Xueyi was too good.

She had seen Lin She before, also an employee, but the other one gave her a creepy feeling, completely different from the white-haired boy in front of her.

Gu Huaiwei stopped him, "He Xueyi, don't distribute these things in the car. The journey is long, and if you get sick from eating, there's nowhere to go for medical treatment."

The emerald green fruit was so juicy that it tempted Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai was just about to taste it when Gu Huaiwei suddenly spoke, causing her to wake up suddenly. She did not take a bite of the fruit that was just next to her lips.

He Xueyi was not annoyed. He sat back in his seat, tilted his head, and pinched the green fruit with his slender white fingers, turning it.

"It's not poisonous." He didn't look at Huaiwei, but looked at the back of the seat in front of him.

"I know." Gu Huaiwei had personally seen Qianxia and some customers eat this green fruit. After eating it, they did not have any special reaction. They only said that the fruit was sour and sweet and delicious, and occasionally they would take the initiative to ask He Xueyi for more.

If there is any difference, it is that people who have eaten the green fruit seem to be more willing to get close to He Xueyi.

He Xueyi turned around, his glazed golden eyes fixed on her face as he asked, "This is a gift from my heart. Why don't you try it? Do you have to wait for Lin She to hand the fruit to you before you're willing to take a bite?"

"I don't like this kind of food. I won't eat it no matter who gives it to me."

Gu Huaiwei leaned against the glass with her head tilted. Her voice was cold, "Excellent employees should compete with each other on work, comparing who works longer overtime and who gets more done. Don't give your colleagues useless little gifts, and don't compare with your colleagues on these trivial matters."

"Is that so?" He Xueyi blinked his long eyelashes. He leaned back in his chair, and the smile on his face deepened. "That's great. You treat us the same way. I thought that because I came too late, he would become your most trusted employee."

"..." Gu Huaiwei talked for a long time, but He Xueyi seemed to have not grasped the point.

"Ms. Gu, on this trip, I will make up for the lost time and prove that I am more worthy of your trust than he is." He Xueyi's voice was very soft, like ice and snow that was about to melt. He closed his eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

After hearing these words, the mask of pain on Gu Huaiwei's face was about to burst out.

There's no use flattering her.

She is not the boss, but just an employee who helps the boss manage the store.

Although they are one level higher than them in hierarchy, they are essentially the same as cattle and horses.

Of course, Gu Huaiwei would not be so narcissistic as to think that she was so charming that she would let them express their sincerity in different ways.

She just thought that these two people were holding back and wanted to get something from her.

At night, Gu Huaiwei laid the sofa bed flat, pulled up the blackout curtains around it, took out a small thin blanket from her jade bracelet and put it on to rest.

Carl and his team took turns keeping watch.

At midnight, Gu Huaiwei was awakened by a loud noise.

The sound came from the car in front.

That carriage was first class.

Along with people's screams, Gu Huaiwei heard the growl of wild beasts.

Gu Huaiwei tore off the blackout cloth, stood up and loaded the bullet.

"What's going on?" she asked.

Xiao Ai gathered around Gu Huaiwei, her eyes bright and sharp. "It seems someone deliberately destroyed the biological detection system in the carriage in front of us and put the radioactive lizard in the carriage."

All facilities on the high-speed rail will be refreshed and repaired every 12 hours.

If passengers damage the facilities on the high-speed rail, the high-speed rail will automatically deduct the gold coin balance in their accounts as compensation.

Gu Huaiwei glanced at the time. It was now 12:10, and there were still eleven hours and fifty minutes until the next refresh and repair.

Someone wants to use the radiated lizards to cause chaos.

Xiao Ai took a fighting stance: "Karl, protect the shop owner Gu. Two of you come with me to the front carriage and get rid of that fat lizard."

"Okay!" Carl replaced Xiao Ai's position next to Gu Huaiwei and was on full alert.

Since Gu Huaiwei hired them as her bodyguards, there was no need for her to put herself in danger. All she had to do was hold the weapons in her hands and not cause trouble for the professionals.

He Xueyi sat in the chair without getting up. He looked relaxed and had no sense of crisis.

Gu Huaiwei observed the carriage.

Two customers from the Oasis Hotel huddled in a corner, seemingly afraid of death.

The woman leaning against the window during the day and the man with a broken arm standing at the swamp disappeared.

Gu Huaiwei frowned and asked, "Karl, did you see anyone leaving the carriage while you were on guard?"
