Chapter 31 My Silence Is Deafening
Episode 31 My silence is deafening
There is already a little person in my head who uses his arms to help me simulate the movement of moving forward in a zigzag but steady manner.
Shang Hexing glanced around, fixed his eyes on my face, pursed his lips, with a suppressed coldness in his eyes, and said to the woman: "Fiancé, right?"
I asked, "What's your name? Do you have a ticket and a citizenship certificate?"
The reporter needs to provide an accurate and real name.
This is not only to verify the authenticity of the report, but also to promptly investigate the responsibility after confirming that the report is false news, so as to avoid wasting police resources due to false reports.
When the girl who was looking for a fiancé encountered this question, she suddenly became hesitant, her eyes flickered, but she didn't make any sound. At the same time, she took a step back, as if she wanted to withdraw from the current situation. Her steps were firm and her expression was panicked before, as if something big had hit her head, but now it seemed as if something blocked her exit and she fell from one dead end into another.
Apparently she was coming to realize that she had made a big deal out of it. Originally, I just wanted to find someone to help me find it, but I unknowingly escalated the situation and might even touch upon some of my own secrets that I don't want to reveal.
She backed off.
This is a good sign for me.
I do feel the contradictions in the way girls act.
But not long after I said this, Shang Hexing suddenly pretended to be gentle and said to the girl: "I understand your difficulties. After all, she is an important person around you."
After saying this, he looked back at my face, as if it was a teleprompter, and said word by word, calmly: "If he is on this train, I will help you find him inch by inch. If your fiancé is unfortunately involved in an illegal crime, we can also solve it in time."
"You just said that no one was in compartment C of carriage 4, right?"
As the girl was overjoyed, my blood started to grow colder.
The girl did not directly say her last name, but she said her name was Doris and she was currently sitting in carriage number six. She boarded the train alone, with no friends or acquaintances around to help her, and the conductors were all busy. Before the conductor who wanted to help call the police, two conductors had already stood her up.
"I couldn't sit still when the train was about to leave," Doris said. "I was really in a hurry."
The conductor relaxed when he saw someone helping him. He couldn't help but mutter, "Since you are an engaged couple, why do you have to sit separately? Why don't you sit together from the beginning? You can tell at a glance whether the couple has arrived or not. Why do you have to make such a scene? Do you really want to be so secretive?"
This sentence made me feel relieved instantly, and I subconsciously looked at him twice more.
Doris and Shang Hexing, who were walking in front, naturally did not hear these words. So, seeing that I was the only one who heard it, the conductor nodded to me shyly and said, "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."
I shook my head and said sincerely, "I agree with your idea. It's a good thing to have a rich imagination."
The conductor saw that he was recognized, and he couldn't help but feel a little closer to me. "Where are you from, sir? Are you a friend of Mr. Fu?"
I took out my ticket and said, "I am a passenger in Carriage 4, Box C. After hearing the noise, I couldn't help but want to know what was going on?"
"Are you her fiancé..." The conductor was stuck in the road ahead, and his voice was also stuck, "friend?"
The conductor looked at me curiously and asked, "But it seems... you don't know who she is? Is this because your friend wants to give you a surprise?"
It is not good to have too much imagination.
I replied: "...He doesn't even want to introduce his fiancée to me. I guess this friend is not really sincere to me, right?"
The conductor looked at me, blinked, and said, "Since you are a passenger in that compartment, why don't you explain it to them?"
I shrugged. "Mr. Fu believes that there is something wrong with me, so we should give him a chance. Wouldn't it be better if he could witness the situation with his own eyes?"
After all, I knew he would never call the police.
He got into the car only after An Qingyan said that Fu Lin was here. If he guessed that Fu Lin hadn't contacted him for so long because he was avoiding him, then he would not have alerted the enemy, causing the train to be unable to start smoothly and scaring Fu Lin away. The more cautious you are at this time, the better.
Shang Hexing felt that someone was watching him, so among a group of strangers, he subconsciously looked for bad guys with evidence to threaten them. This is consistent with Shang Hexing's behavior.
When it comes to good people, get used to believing in their kindness.
As for bad guys, they tend to use rational psychological warfare to make the other party completely obey their arrangements.
As for the surveillance, I guess An Qingyan just wanted to see whether he got into the car smoothly.
Thinking of this, I suddenly became curious about what An Qingyan would think if he knew that I was also on the train. But that's not the point. I asked the conductor in a friendly way, "Do you eat chocolate?"
I reached into my pocket and took out a chocolate ball. "It's delicious."
When it comes to sharing snacks, I've always had a winning streak.
This time is no exception.
"You can finish it in a few bites, and it can also replenish your energy." I continued to encourage him, "Besides, this matter is really bothering you."
The conductor had already shown interest in my chocolate ball and didn't want to refuse it. After taking it, he said, "Thank you. What's your name?"
"My last name is Li."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Fu Lin tilt his head in my direction, as if he was curious about my last name.
But he didn't say much.
Because the conductor spoke quickly and enthusiastically, without giving him a chance to respond, "Mr. Li, you are easier to get along with than you look. You are really nice."
I was about to respond, but Shang Hexing said something inexplicable, "What is this? It's obviously far from it."
I wonder who asked him to do a review?
What a weirdo.
*
We quickly moved to the front of box C in the fourth carriage.
It's my turn to perform.
I slid in front of the door of my box and said to Doris and Fu Lin, "Are you sure this is the box? This is my box."
Doris obviously didn't know that I was in the box, because after she said this, she looked at Fu Lin in surprise, "I didn't lie, I really booked box C. I only booked it for him."
Shang Hexing said, "Maybe your fiancé invited someone else to go with him."
The conductor responded again: "If there are any refunds, the customers who bought the tickets should also know about it. Miss Doris, you can check your mailbox again."
I took the opportunity to suggest, "If it's convenient, could you please check the names of the passengers in the compartment for us? It's totally fine on my end."
The conductor glanced in my direction and said, "If the passengers in compartment C agree, we are also willing to retrieve the passenger information."
Doris had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so she quickly went in the direction of the conductor. Shang Hexing stared at me, then looked at the conductor, "Did you give him some kind of magic potion? He suddenly cooperated so well..."
"Mr. Fu, you should learn more about psychology," I said seriously. "There is a saying about mental fatigue. When a person is under the pressure of long-term mental work, the same thing will repeatedly challenge his patience and rationality. The information that should not have been shown to her originally became a natural thing to share with Mr. Fu as a guarantor and the passengers in compartment C agreeing to it."
"I didn't say I was willing to be a guarantor."
I explained, "But Mr. Fu stood there as if he was serving the city and the people. Could it be that Mr. Fu was deliberately causing trouble for me just to make things difficult for me?"
Shang Hexing stared at the door of the box and asked, "Have you packed everything in there?"
"Thank you for your concern. There are never any problems with my box." I turned the door handle. "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Shang Hexing: “…”
At this time, the voices of Doris and the conductor arguing emerged, "Ms. Doris, you can't see other passengers' information."
Looking over, the conductor was holding his tablet computer, not letting Doris see any more. But Doris had obviously gotten her answer. She was both embarrassed and relieved, and said to herself, "I've already confirmed that I'm on the train, so why can't I contact him and find him?"
The conductor was struggling with the tablet, and the front and hem of his clothes were messed up. He was very unhappy. "I have something else to do. If my superiors find out, I will be in trouble."
He took a deep breath, his voice tense, "Mr. Fu, I'm leaving first."
This episode gives us a thorough understanding of Doris's drama.
Her goal was not to find compartment C at all, but to hope that the conductor could call up the background program so that she could check for herself whether her fiancé had boarded the train. Her purpose was just to protect the information of the person she was looking for.
She didn't want anyone to know who she was looking for specifically.
"Miss Doris, it's not very kind of you to do this," I said.
I thought she would act as if nothing had happened, but she still looked a little embarrassed. "Sorry, there are some things I can't tell you." After saying that, she apologized to us and hurried away the way she came, as if she was afraid that we would continue to accuse her.
But what she didn't know was that we would meet again soon.
After Doris left, Shang Hexing was not as tentative as before.
Silence briefly fell between us.
Not long after, Shang Hexing walked back to his box, as if he didn't want to say anything more to me. But I didn't intend to let him go, because he wanted to scare me on purpose, so I had to fight back.
After walking for several steps, Shang Hexing asked again: "Why are you following me?"
"Mr. Fu, if you have any trouble, I would also like to help you solve it." I said positively.
"unnecessary."
"You are welcome."
"I don't know you well. I won't be polite to you at all." Shang Hexing said coldly.
I didn't care about his coldness at all and was about to continue talking when the connecting door of the oncoming carriage opened. The man who came out glanced in our direction.
With just this one glance, Shang Hexing and I were both frozen.
"Why are you here?" A slow and unhurried voice came from the end of the carriage. An Qingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes moving between me and Shang Hexing, like a silent sharp blade, forcing people to have no way to retreat.
Shang Hexing and I, "..."
An Qingyan smiled and said, "Did you make new friends, or did you make any other discoveries?"
I really wanted to avoid his sight and hide behind Shang Hexing, but An Qingyan had already passed Shang Hexing and stared at me with a piercing gaze, "Are you still entangled?"
Shang Hexing: “…”
I:"……"
An Qingyan followed me and walked in front of me. With a gentle voice and cold eyes, she warned me in a low voice: "You'd better behave yourself and don't cause trouble."
I didn't cause any trouble...
I knew they would meet and was definitely prepared.
As long as there are no major changes, Fu Lin will not realize that there are acquaintances around.
But why are you in the car too?
After many twists and turns, the train will finally depart smoothly.
However, the screams that would come ten minutes after the train departed were no louder than my current silence.
Because An Qingyan grabbed the door handle of the box where I was and met Jerry and Fu Lin inside. And in my sight, Fu Lin tightened his hands slightly, as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.
No, Fu Lin...
This person can't be trusted!
