CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 124: A YOUNG COUPLE

Sichuan, she hasn’t been there yet. This time when she goes, she’ll take the chance to have some fun.

When she arrived in Sichuan, it was already past three in the morning. Lin Xiaoyan stood inside the train station, looking at the empty, pitch-black outside. She decided to wait inside the station until dawn before going out to catch a taxi to the hotel.

It’s a bit unsafe now.

"I’ve already booked a hotel. Let’s rest there for a bit and then go..."

Lin Xiaoyan turned around, ready to sit on a chair in the hall, when a hurried couple passed by her from behind.

"Sorry, excuse me."

Lin Xiaoyan accidentally bumped into one of the girls.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly apologized. The girl laughed heartily, "It’s okay, sorry, I was walking too fast."

The guy beside them quickly picked up Lin Xiaoyan’s suitcase that had fallen to the ground.

The girl noticed there was some dust on Lin Xiaoyan’s pants and helped pat it off too.

"There, all clean. Really sorry." The girl said to Lin Xiaoyan after clapping her hands.

Lin Xiaoyan frowned and looked at the girl and the boy beside her, "Are you two... here for a trip in Sichuan?"

"Yes, we’re from Hu Province University. It’s the weekend, so we came to have some hotpot and see the national treasures, then we’ll rush back for classes!"

The girl said happily.

Looking at their youthful faces, Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the outside of the station, "You can wait here until daylight before leaving. It’s too dangerous outside now, there’s not a single person. Safety is the most important when you’re away from home."

"Haha, sis, it’s okay. My boyfriend is very strong, he’s an athlete."

The guy next to her also laughed, "Yes, sis, if you’re scared, you can come with us. We booked the same hotel in **."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the two and shook her head, "I booked a different hotel, but I still advise you to wait until morning to leave. What if... you encounter danger..."

"No worries, no worries, sis, you do need to be cautious if you’re alone.

We won’t talk anymore, we’re in a hurry, goodbye, sis."

The girl pulled the guy to leave.

"Hey..." Lin Xiaoyan called out, but the couple quickly walked away.

She thought for a moment and followed them.

As the couple walked out of the station, a taxi just happened to drive up from somewhere and stopped in front of them.

Watching the girl and guy get into the taxi, Lin Xiaoyan immediately took out her phone and snapped a photo of the car.

Feeling the chill in the air and seeing a taxi driving towards her, Lin Xiaoyan quickly pulled her suitcase and ran back inside the station.

While running, she called He Qi’an.

"Hello..." He Qi’an’s voice was a bit hoarse, clearly woken from sleep.

"He Qi’an, I’m at the train station in ** city in Sichuan Province. I just came across a girl who got into a taxi with her boyfriend..."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly recounted the event.

"I’ll send you the photo."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan, He Qi’an immediately woke up and got out of bed quickly.

After receiving the photo from Lin Xiaoyan, he enlarged it to clearly see the license plate on the car.

"That girl mentioned they were going to ** hotel..."

"Okay, I got it. I’ll contact the local police right away. Stay inside the station, don’t go out. Leave when it’s daylight, or let the person who assigned you the task send someone to pick you up. Stay safe."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyan’s heart trembled slightly as she looked outside the station, silently praying for the safety of the girl and boy she just saw...

Meanwhile, Yang Yang and her boyfriend Lu Wang were sitting in the taxi, still talking about Lin Xiaoyan they had just met.

"That lady was quite wary, it’s rare to see such kind-hearted people nowadays."

Lu Wang glanced at his phone, "Yes, but she meant well. I guess she’s just cautious because of watching too much news."

"Or maybe it’s because she’s alone, so she’s more vigilant."

Lu Wang put away his phone and looked at his girlfriend, "In the future, if you’re out alone, you should also be a bit cautious!"

"Yes, yes, I know. But isn’t it fine since you’re with me?"

Yang Yang said casually, "Besides, there’s surveillance everywhere now, it’s hard for bad things to happen."

"Right? Driver." Yang Yang suddenly addressed the driver in front.

The driver, probably around forty years old with an honest-looking face, glanced at the young couple in the back and smiled, "Yes, society is so advanced now, there’s surveillance everywhere. Who dares to do bad deeds?"

"Exactly, no matter where bad guys run to, they can be caught..."

Yang Yang agreed wholeheartedly.

"Ha~" Yang Yang yawned, worried about missing their stop, they hadn’t slept much. She felt very sleepy now.

Lu Wang glanced at his girlfriend and whispered, "Lean on me and take a nap. I’ll wake you when we arrive."

"Okay."

Yang Yang leaned on her boyfriend’s shoulder and fell asleep in the next second.

Lu Wang looked out of the car window; outside it was pitch-black. Though there were streetlights flashing by occasionally, the road was empty and desolate.

Nobody spoke inside the car, and at some point, Lu Wang also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The driver glanced in the rear-view mirror, and when he saw both of them asleep, his eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips lifted gently.

The car slowly turned...

Over here, He Qi’an had already contacted the police station in Sichuan Province.

Upon receiving a report from an out-of-town police force, the police at the Sichuan Police Station were very attentive.

Their hearts also sank because indeed, in recent years, people have gone missing near the train station.

However, due to the large flow of people at the train station and the criminals being too cunning, they had never been able to find the missing persons or the suspects.

Now, with a report and a clear direction given, they immediately dispatched officers.

"Notify the traffic police department to immediately check who the owner of the car with license plate number *** is, and where the car went after leaving the station."

"Tell them the time and location, quickly!"

"You guys, head to ** Road nearby right away, and at the same time, have someone check the identities of these two students..."

"You guys..."

...

As time passed bit by bit, it gradually became daytime.

Lin Xiaoyan lifted her head and saw that there were already more people outside the station.

The hall gradually became more bustling with people coming and going.

She slowly stood up and started to hail a taxi on her phone.

Meanwhile, Yang Yang and Lu Wang, seated in the car, were sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, Yang Yang woke up with a start, remembering she still wanted to see the national treasures!

However, when she opened her eyes, she found that she and her boyfriend were still in the car, which had stopped moving.

Yang Yang’s instinct told her something was off. She looked toward the driver’s seat and realized the driver was nowhere to be found, so she immediately nudged her boyfriend.

"Hmm? Are we there?" Lu Wang groggily opened his eyes.

"Lu Wang, something doesn’t feel right..." Yang Yang cautiously looked outside the car window.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Wang followed his girlfriend’s gaze and looked outside.
