At that time, they easily received information that "a young man who looks very much like Chen Yang bought two train tickets to Luoyang one morning. Based on the description of his appearance, this person is suspicious and acts furtively. Moreover, based on the identification photos from the scalpers, this person looks very much like Chen Yang himself! His identity can be basically confirmed!"
Then what?
Ha! Then Zhou Jing's men led their troops toward Luoyang in a grand procession! I, your humble servant, am not going to accompany them!
Why did I look for that little punk just now?
This is quite simple. After all, I've been around before, so I know the rules of these gangs.
The guys who came up to chat with me earlier were all small fry, while that little punk just stayed calmly in the corner smoking, without ever going up to chat with anyone.
It was obvious to me that this guy was the "headman" of this area, a small-time boss. These kinds of bosses don't come up to people and try to do business; they stay on the sidelines watching their men work, mainly supervising and keeping watch.
I cleverly used the gangs near the train station to spread false information. I'm pretty sure there's at least an 80% chance that Zhou Jing's people will mistakenly believe that I've fled to Luoyang.
It must be said that when fleeing, it is best to take a train or long-distance bus.
Because neither of these two modes of transportation requires registration of names.
As for airplanes, unless you have fake documents, never fly, because it will leave a record of your identity. And at least I know that airport checks are very strict, and fake documents are unlikely to get away with it.
And you should never take a taxi, or one of those unlicensed taxis that solicit business at the station!
Because taxis are company-operated vehicles, if someone wants to investigate you, they can simply have the company issue a notice to all its vehicles: all vehicles going out of the city must report to the company.
These orders are easy to issue; every taxi has a walkie-talkie, and the front desk can send out a few words, and almost all the taxis will know.
At this point, if you take a taxi to escape, wherever you go, as long as people investigate afterwards, they can find out!
As for those unlicensed taxis that disrupt business at long-distance bus stations, you absolutely must not ride in them!
Just like the scalpers selling fake invoices at the train station... In fact, most of the unlicensed taxi drivers at the train station are organized. The investigators will find these unlicensed taxis and question these local gangsters. If you ride in their car, you will soon be caught!
The biggest advantage of taking state-run long-distance buses and trains is that there are usually many people on board, so no one will pay attention to you!
In a taxi, it's just you and the driver in the car, so the driver can easily notice your appearance. The same goes for unlicensed taxis.
I carried my things, randomly chose a spot to get off the subway, and went against the flow of the thronging crowd. Shanghai has an extremely high population density; during the day, the crowds are overwhelming, especially in places like subway stations. Men and women, their faces serious, moved quickly back and forth. That's the rhythm of this city—fast-paced and tense!
I wandered the unfamiliar city streets with a blank expression. After taking the subway for a few stops and turning a few corners, I made sure I was safe. Then I crossed two more streets and found a train ticket sales point.
This was on the first floor of a building. There was a bank on the left and a hotel on the right. I looked around from the outside to make sure there were no security cameras before I swaggered in.
I bought four train tickets at once, all heading to Guangzhou. Unfortunately, only hard seats were available, but it will do. After all, I'm just traveling, not sightseeing, so I can't afford to indulge in any luxuries.
Then I went to another train ticket sales point and bought four more train tickets to Fuzhou, Fujian.
After doing all this, I carried my things back to the hotel.
I did this out of a sense of extra caution.
Or maybe I'm being a bit too cautious... But back in my day, a seasoned veteran once told me: "Never be too careful; the more careful you are, the safer you are!" Sometimes, seemingly insignificant preparations can ultimately save your life!
I bought four train tickets because if someone checks, they'll know I'm fleeing alone or with someone else, and they usually won't pay attention to people who buy four tickets! This reduces the chances of me being discovered!
By buying train tickets for two different directions at the same time, I was better prepared and it also reduced the chances of me being discovered.
Plus, the clues I deliberately left with the scalpers at the train station... I'm sure they'll contact the local bullies at the train station for information! That feint will also distract most of their attention.
All of these actions will greatly reduce my danger!
Back at the hotel, Ni Duoduo was already up. She had changed her clothes and was sitting on the bed, lost in thought. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw me return as I walked in.
I glanced at her. After thinking for a moment, I said calmly, "You don't need to change clothes every day anymore... We only brought these two sets of clothes with us. There's nowhere to wash them after we change. Keep the clothes, and I'll let you change them again later, okay? Dress casually, don't be too clean. If you're too clean, you'll attract attention in this environment. Understand?"
The girl nodded, then suddenly jumped off the bed and ran to me in a few steps, wrapping her arms around my waist. She hugged me tightly, her arms wrapped tightly around my waist, her head pressed against my chest, her body trembling like a bird.
I sighed. Knowing she was scared, I gently put down my things and patted her on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"
“…I was scared.” The girl looked up at me. “I thought you had run away and abandoned me.”
"Nonsense." I smiled, gently pushed her aside to make her sit down, and took out the KFC I had bought. "Eat something. You haven't eaten much since last night, you must be hungry."
I knew Ni Duoduo probably had a lot to say to me, but I didn't say anything. I just pressed her down in a chair to eat. I don't really like oily food from KFC. I had already eaten something while waiting for that scalper at the train station fast food restaurant. So I simply lit a cigarette and sat there lost in thought.
We didn't go out all day; we just waited in the room. I took out the newspaper I bought when I went out in the morning and read it three times already. I found it very boring. Ni Duoduo turned on the TV and sat on the edge of the bed, but her eyes were clearly not on the TV. Instead, she was fiddling with her fingers and glancing at me every now and then, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't.
"Chen Yang..." After holding back for a long time, she finally spoke: "I know I was wrong."
"kindness."
"I really know I was wrong," Ni Duoduo repeated softly. "Can you forgive me?"
I put down the newspaper and looked at her. "I've forgiven you. What's done is done, and no one can turn back time."
Ni Duoduo lowered her head, hummed in agreement, and then suddenly asked, "What do we do next? What are your plans?"
I shook my head. "It's nothing, we're just hiding. As long as they can't find us, that's fine. I bought a few train tickets." I took them out and handed them to Ni Duoduo.
She was stunned: "Guangzhou... Fuzhou... how come there are two places? And so many tickets?"
I sighed and explained to her, "Actually, this is a backup plan. I don't plan to actually leave today. I need to talk to someone on the phone tomorrow before deciding where to go. These tickets are a backup plan, in case that person can't help us."
Ni Duoduo asked, puzzled, "Did you ask a friend for help?"
"Hmm..." I thought for a moment and said, "To be precise, they are your father's people. I have already informed your father, and he will arrange your future."
Ni Duoduo finally relaxed a little: "You contacted my father? What will he do?"
"I don't know...maybe it's sending you abroad. Weren't you originally planning to go abroad?" I smiled.
But Ni Duoduo asked again, "What about you? Are you going abroad with me?"
Suddenly, I froze!
Yeah... what will Huan-ge do with me?
I suddenly thought of a possibility that made me very uncomfortable...
Huan is the big boss's subordinate. His future, everything he has, was given to him by the big boss... Now that I've gotten myself into such big trouble... Huan definitely can't let anyone know about my relationship with him...
So, what will he do to me?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into my head...
Brother Huan, what if you just kill me to silence me? Because once people find out about his relationship with me... he's finished!
Part 1: A Man in the Martial World, Not in His Own Hands Chapter 107: Virgin
The structure of a human brain is truly bizarre. And the thoughts within it are not something a person can control.
Ever since that inexplicable thought popped into my head, although I instinctively tried to stop myself from thinking about it further, I simply couldn't suppress it anymore...
Huan-ge, what will he do to me?
If he leaves me behind, he will bear the consequences of losing everything and his life once the truth is exposed!
So... what can he do? Kill me?
I suddenly laughed, a laugh that was more like a grimace. The complex emotions I felt at that moment were beyond words... Would Huan-ge harm me? Or would he help me?
These two questions kept swirling in my mind, giving me a headache.
This is a question I cannot think about... nor should I think about...
Because he's Huan-ge! Huan-ge who takes care of me and is good to me! He's my older brother, Chen Yang's older brother!
The newspaper in my hand was crumpled into a ball. Frustrated, I took out a cigarette and smoked one after another. Ni Duoduo sat to the side, watching my increasingly agitated expression, and hesitated to speak.
Finally, I looked at the sky outside and sighed.
Anyway, we'll see when the time comes!
"What do you want to eat tonight?" I stood up, ready to go out.
"Whatever," Ni Duoduo said softly, "I'll eat whatever you eat."
I nodded, went out to a braised food shop at the left intersection, and bought some braised dishes. I had scouted this shop during the day, and also picked up a bottle of beer on the way. When I got back to my room, I found it empty, but I could hear running water from the bathroom. Looks like the little girl was taking a shower…
I frowned. I quickly tidied up the only table in the room, then laid out the food and drinks. I poured myself a beer and gulped it down. The bitter beer stimulated my taste buds, and a feeling of exhilaration rushed to my head. I sighed, then suddenly grinned.
To be honest, I don't even know what I'm laughing at. I just find myself looking ridiculous.
I don't know how much time had passed, but it was completely dark outside. I checked the time; Ni Duoduo had been in the bathroom for at least an hour. I thought for a moment, then shouted, "Hurry up! Hot water is only available for a limited time!"
In the restroom, Ni Duoduo gave a mumbled response.
I casually turned on the TV and flipped through the channels. But this run-down hotel didn't have cable TV; it only received CCTV-1 and local channels... and at this hour, they were all broadcasting the evening news. I glanced at it a couple of times, but having nothing else to watch, I simply stopped watching the news program.
The first twenty minutes of news were nothing more than reports on the recent whereabouts of national leaders; every meeting was "successfully convened," every issue was described as "highly concerned," and every project was "completed ahead of schedule"... it was all the same routine. The international news that followed was the same old story: earthquakes or fires in some Western country, or attacks on American soldiers by Iraqi Shiite Muslims, and so on...
I was getting bored and starting to drift off when I suddenly heard the bathroom door open softly. Then, under the light from the room, a figure slowly emerged…
Ni Duoduo's long hair was wet and draped over her shoulders. Her delicate face was still damp with moisture, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes held a hint of shyness and timidity. She leaned against the wall with one hand, while her other small hand tightly clutched a bath towel to her chest...
She was only wrapped in a bath towel. It covered her chest, revealing her rounded shoulders, smooth and delicate, her slender neck curving like a swan. Beneath the towel, the outline of her budding breasts was faintly visible, alluringly subtle… The towel ended just above her thighs, and against its white surface, the girl's beautiful legs were perfectly displayed before my eyes—straight, rounded… especially her plump, supple calves and her delicate, rounded ankles…
She stood barefoot in front of me, her head slightly lowered, her eyes clearly showing a hint of girlish naiveté, yet she mustered the courage to look me directly in the eye...
To be honest, for a moment, I was really stunned...
Ni Duoduo slowly walked towards me. Her steps were very light, as if she were walking on cotton. Her movements were also very slow, but she never stopped!
She walked up to me, looked up into my eyes... I then came to my senses a little and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ni Duoduo shook her head, lightly biting her lip, her teeth white and lips red. Suddenly, she opened her arms, ripped off her bath towel, immediately exposing her perfectly alluring body to me, and then threw herself into my arms…
I was completely stunned!
Although it was only a brief moment from when she pulled off the towel and threw herself into my arms, the sight of the girl's naked and beautiful body flashed before my eyes under the light! I instinctively felt a dryness in my throat, and my heart suddenly started racing!
Ni Duoduo leaped into my arms, clinging to me like an octopus, and then kissed me on the lips with her eyes closed. I instinctively turned my head, and the girl's lips landed on my chin... Her wet hair brushed against my cheek.
My hair is cold and wet.
Her lips were fiery hot!
The body in my arms was still trembling, like a startled pigeon, as light as a feather. The trembling was tinged with excitement and fear, yet it burrowed desperately into my embrace. At the same time, the delicate fragrance of the young girl assaulted my nostrils, and her red lips brushed against my face…
The lights were dim, and I couldn't hear anything from the TV. The air in the room seemed to freeze. I stood there frozen for a full ten seconds. Finally, when Ni Duoduo's lips touched mine, I snapped out of it. Then, I grabbed Ni Duoduo's arms and pushed her away forcefully!
"What are you doing! Are you crazy!" I hissed, then picked up the towel from the floor, quickly covered her shoulders, and pushed her away forcefully.
Ni Duoduo stubbornly tried to snuggle into my arms again, but I coldly pushed her away. This time I used a little more force, and Ni Duoduo fell onto the bed, her bath towel scattered to the side, exposing the girl's intact body to the light.
