Du Chenzhou looked up at the sound and saw that Howard and Lusca's faces were filled with gloom and frustration, with a hint of anger between their brows.
The two sat down next to Du Chenzhou, one seat apart, and rubbed their faces vigorously while exhaling, a typical Western gesture that made their skin red and added a lot of weight to the anger on their faces.
He put his hands down, then began to shrug and grumble with resentment.
"This journey was already very difficult, but unexpectedly, once we entered China, all the people protecting us died."
"It's too chaotic, this is all too chaotic!"
"We've finally arrived in the capital, and we were supposed to be heading to the army soon..."
He thought the twists and turns of the journey were finally over and he could finally reach the army. But to his surprise, before he even got off the train, he was brought here for investigation as a criminal.
"But we clearly have all the legal and compliant procedures, and we have no other purpose. We are just here for exchanges with the military. We are not bad people. Why are we being treated like this?"
"Oh God, is this your test for us?"
After Howard and Lusca finished speaking, they started rubbing their faces together, making them even redder, as if only in this way could they relieve their anxiety.
Du Chenzhou, listening nearby, was somewhat uneasy and tentatively asked.
"Are you two alright?"
"If there was any misunderstanding during your conversation with the police, I am willing to explain it to you."
Howard and Lusca's gazes towards Du Chenzhou instantly changed, their eyes sparkling with emotion.
But the more they did this, the more quickly they waved their hands.
"No, no, Zhou, from now on you may have to distance yourself from us."
“We’ve been cursed by the devil all this way, with bad luck constantly coming our way. We don’t want to drag you down with us, so it’s better if you cut ties with us to avoid ending up like us.”
As he said this, Howard's expression was particularly tragic, and his thoughts became increasingly pessimistic.
They knew that China was going through a sensitive period, and their status as foreigners was already suspicious enough. Now, with such a big incident and this package appearing out of nowhere, they were already in a difficult position to explain themselves.
In addition, they had just been interrogated separately, and communication was already difficult due to the language barrier. As a result, they were forced to interrogate Du Chenzhou separately.
They felt that the police hadn't quite understood them, and they were afraid that the more they explained, the worse it would get, and the deeper the misunderstanding would become...
They always felt that the Chinese police treated them like bad guys.
Howard picked up the silver cross pendant hanging around his neck, placed it in his palm, and clasped his hands in reverence.
"God, please spare this kind Chinese man. Let the two of us bear everything ourselves."
Chen Feng and Zheng Yifan exchanged a glance.
Although they couldn't quite understand what the two foreigners were saying in their gibberish, they could guess what they were saying from their clasped hands in prayer and their faces full of despair.
Just as Du Chenzhou was anxious to ask for help, Chen Feng spoke up first to explain.
Please don't be nervous, that was just a routine inquiry.
“We did not consider these two people to be criminal suspects, but the situation on the train at the time was very complicated and chaotic.”
