"Then why didn't you remind me back then?"
"I wasn't sure if that person was following you. There were so many people in the waiting room. Maybe I was just mistaken?"
Fine, whatever you say, you're right.
"No, I don't understand. Their whole gang has been caught, so why aren't they finding a place to hide quietly? Why are they still showing off?" Is it because they're afraid no one will discover that there are still some who have escaped the net?
"Who knows? If only we had the internet, I could find out the reason for you in no time."
They're just spouting nonsense. If there were the internet, these people wouldn't dare to be so rampant.
"Tell Sun Kaicheng what you've said later, and tell him to cheer up. Don't let things go wrong. I'm the one who dragged Comrade Sun Kaicheng into this mess." She couldn't bear to see Sun Kaicheng get hurt.
Shuangdan opened its mouth, then closed it again, seemingly thinking of something. What it wanted to say was that Sun Kaicheng could hear them talking in the space, but when it thought about the benefits it would receive, those benefits still prevailed.
If Qian Xiao finds out that a single crystal core led to Shuangdan's betrayal, he'll definitely give Shuangdan a good beating.
Sun Kaicheng pretended to close his eyes, then opened them after a while and nodded to Qian Xiao to indicate that he understood. Qian Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; it was really her fault for getting involved with Sun Kaicheng.
She wondered how many of them were there to retaliate against her. With so many people on the bus, it was easy to accidentally hurt someone, but there was no other way. She also had no evidence to prove that the person was a bad guy, and she couldn't just arrest him directly.
Sun Kaicheng put down the book in his hand: "I'm going out for a bit."
Now that he knew the person was really coming for them, but didn't know the exact number, he figured he should at least warn the train police beforehand.
"Are you telling the truth?" The train conductor frowned. He asked this not because he didn't believe his old comrade's child, but because he felt it was a bit tricky.
There are many passengers on the train at this time, and if something happens, it can easily cause chaos. Besides, it's hard to determine the number of people on the other side. There's a real risk that someone might take the passengers hostage, which would be a real problem.
"Describe to me clearly what that person looks like."
"Do you have a pen? I can try to draw it." His drawing skills were quite good; he could draw a portrait sketch without much trouble. Even if it wasn't a perfect likeness, it was still recognizable.
The train conductor looked at the portrait in his hand: "Okay, you can go back first. Come find me anytime if there's any trouble. I'll have someone keep an eye on this person."
He had heard about the human trafficking case before. Following the clues, he dismantled many human trafficking dens and rescued many people. He never expected that it was related to the child of his old comrade-in-arms.
I've also heard that several important figures are on the run and haven't been caught yet. If it really is one of them, then we've done a great service.
"Okay, I'll head back now. I'll let you know if there are any new developments."
The train conductor patted Sun Kaicheng on the shoulder: "You're a good kid. Sure enough, none of the children in your Sun family are bad."
Sun Kaicheng smiled shyly.
Qian Xiao looked at Sun Kaicheng, who had just returned, with great curiosity. She leaned closer and whispered, "What did the train conductor say?"
"Don't worry, he will cooperate with us."
Qian Xiao nodded. Even if no one cooperated, she didn't feel that she would be in any danger: "I heard your dad talk about comrades-in-arms and stuff. Didn't your dad never serve in the army?"
“This is my second uncle’s comrade-in-arms, but he seems to be quite familiar with my dad as well.”
"Oh, let's eat then."
Sun Kaicheng... how did you manage to smoothly steer the conversation to food without leaving a trace? Wait, didn't we just eat a little while ago? Are you hungry again? You just said you weren't hungry.
"Host, you just ate less than three hours ago, how come you're hungry again?"
"I'm not hungry in my stomach, I'm hungry in my mouth," Qian Xiao said confidently.
Why are you being so euphemistic? Just say you're craving something sweet.
"Pfft, cough cough, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Qian Xiao had no idea that Shuangdan's sarcastic remarks had been overheard by Sun Kaicheng, and she even glanced at him curiously, wondering if he had been laughing just now.
"Hey, how about we share a roast duck? What if it goes bad? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Sun Kaicheng... no, don't you know how many roast ducks you bought? How could one of them go bad? It seems the little system really was right, you just had a craving.
"Okay, wait for me to get it for you."
Qian Xiao ate four-fifths of a roast duck before patting his belly contentedly and exclaiming, "Double Egg, I've discovered I still love meat."
The double protein eye was too lazy to even roll its eyes. It had discovered that its host was becoming more and more shameless, talking as if no one liked eating meat. If you don't believe me, try calling out and I guarantee everyone will raise their hands and say they love eating meat.
Sun Kaicheng covered his face with the book in his hand, afraid that someone would see him laughing like a fool for no reason. He had discovered that there was nothing unhappy about being with Comrade Erdan.
Qian Xiao thought Sun Kaicheng was sleepy and wanted to sleep, so she kindly covered him with her coat.
Sun Kaicheng...you're quite thoughtful.
During the day, they took turns sleeping, but at night, even though they both had their eyes closed, they weren't actually asleep...
Sun Kaicheng heard soft snoring coming from the upper bunk: "Shuangdan, is your host asleep?" Weren't we supposed to wake up together to deal with what's coming next? He's only been lying down for a short while.
The two eggs waved their paws dismissively: "My host is still young, isn't it normal for him to sleep more? There are still some here, you can sleep too. If you notice anything amiss, I'll wake you up."
Sun Kaicheng discovered that this little system could insult each other however it wanted, but when it came to him, the little system's heart was never strayed. It wholeheartedly protected its host. Hmm, it's a good system.
Staying up late is something Sun Kaicheng often does. He also slept during the day, so he wasn't really that sleepy at the moment. At first, there were some quiet voices in the carriage, but they were gradually replaced by the sound of snoring.
It was already past midnight, and there was still half an hour until the next stop, where they would stop for five minutes. If those people were to make their move, it would be best to do so now. If they didn't act now, they would have to wait until the early hours of the morning at the next stop.
Sure enough, not long after, they heard footsteps that were being kept as low as possible. Qian Xiao was also woken up by Shuangdan. He didn't move and remained in the same position, listening intently to the sound.
Although the footsteps were light, they were still easy for Qian Xiao, who had mental abilities, to hear. He discerned how many people were coming from the sound: "Shuangdan, four people are coming?"
