Looking at the contents of the notebook, Xiao Xue felt a pang of panic. For a moment, she froze, but quickly regained her composure. On the surface, she appeared perfectly natural, with no apparent change.
Xiao Xue was somewhat worried about Su Xingran. From the text, it could be understood that Su Xingran was a target of enemy agents. That's why she told herself not to worry about Su Xingran if something happened to her.
Sitting on the upper bunk, Su Xingran would occasionally glance around unintentionally. When she looked up again, her eyes met those of a man.
The man was of average appearance, with a very common look, but his eyes were incredibly cold and sinister. Su Xingran had a gut feeling that this was the man who put the map into his luggage bag.
Having identified her target, Su Xingran stopped paying attention to others and returned to her lower bunk from the upper bunk. A gaze remained fixed on Su Xingran; even without looking, she could sense which direction the gaze came from.
The man with the cold gaze kept staring in Su Xingran's direction. After obtaining the map from Heilongjiang Province, he disguised himself and changed his route to Jilin Province. From the Jilin Province train station, he took a train to Beijing. The map he carried was to be handed over to his superiors in Beijing.
Before entering the train station, he noticed someone was following him. After boarding the train, he thought for a moment and realized it wasn't safe to keep the map on him. If he were caught and the map was found on him, his life would be over.
He came up with a plan: he would put the map in someone else's luggage bag. Once he got off the train at his destination, he would retrieve it. So he set his sights on Su Xingran, who was young, had a scholarly air about her, and looked completely innocent.
During the day, he observed Su Xingran and learned that she and the girl in the upper bunk were sisters, and both looked to be students. That made things easier; students are usually sheltered and inexperienced, so he could act without any pressure.
In the middle of the night, while everyone on the train was asleep, he went to Su Xingran's sleeper berth. He opened Su Xingran's luggage bag and put the map inside. After making sure that Su Xingran and the others hadn't noticed, he quickly left.
He hadn't expected that this girl had a grandfather and an uncle in the next carriage. Worried that his plan would be discovered, he kept a close eye on Su Xingran's every move.
Su Xingran hadn't touched her luggage bag, which reassured the man considerably. As long as he wasn't discovered, he would find a way to retrieve the map after getting off the train.
Time flew by, and the train's arrival announcement rang out. The train had finally reached its final destination. Passengers quickly gathered their luggage and disembarked at the exit.
There was no space at all in the crowded conditions, so Su Xingran and Xiao Xue didn't move for the time being, waiting for the crowd to thin out before going down. With their physiques, they would just be sandwiched like biscuits in a surging crowd.
To avoid alerting Su Xingran and the others, Duan Yuming and Doctor Huang didn't wait for them. They got off the train first, and Duan Yuming knew Gu Moting was coming to pick them up. He needed to find Gu Moting now and have him protect Xiao Xue and get her away.
With Su Xingran surrounded by people, those criminals wouldn't act easily. Perhaps when they do, Xiao Xue, who's close to Su Xingran, will be implicated. Duan Yuming trusts Su Xingran; she has no one else to rely on, and she'll protect herself.
Duan Yuming truly understood Su Xingran; she wanted Xiao Xue to be in a safe place. She was dealing with the criminals alone, and with Xiao Xue around, she worried about her, afraid she wouldn't be able to protect her if she wasn't paying attention. Xiao Xue and Gu Moting's wedding was in three days.
