Free Web NovelChapter 1186: Chapter 1185: Their Motives Are No Longer Pure
Something’s up!
This clearly shows their intentions aren’t pure!
If they appear on the train at this time, and we say they don’t pose a threat, that would be truly bizarre.
Xia Xi finally stopped fiddling with her fingers, turned around smoothly, and calmly asked Gu Tong, "So~ my dear, should we make a run for it?"
Gu Tong: "..." Then why were you pretending to be so cocky just now! Acting like you had everything under control!
Sheng Lan: "..." Exactly, I knew you were this kind of boss!
Xia Xi shrugged her shoulders, and with a bit of helplessness said, "I can’t help it; I’ve made too many enemies and don’t even know which one’s behind this. So many people ambushing a poor little me, it’s terrifying, a real struggle."
Gu Tong: "..." Going out with this one was a mistake!
Sheng Lan: "..." Never mind the enemies wanting to take her down, even she felt like smacking Xia Xi around!
Xia Xi pouted with grievance and said, "Actually, I’ve already planned our escape. When the train stops at the next station, we’ll jump off. Jun Xing has already arranged for a pickup~"
Gu Tong: "..." So, you were planning to make a break for it all along.
Sheng Lan: "..." Running away, and still pretending otherwise, it’s embarrassing to admit that I follow such a young lady.
The two of them complained inwardly, but Xia Xi didn’t care at all. She started planning on her own, "We have ten minutes until the next stop, plenty of time to get ready~"
Alright then...
So this one was all set to be running from the start...
These enemies are way too many, making her this frightened.
Gu Tong couldn’t help but rub her temples, feeling that when it comes to getting into trouble, she couldn’t hold a candle to Xia Xi.
Because, Gu Tong just gets into trouble!
Whereas Xia Xi goes the extra mile, pokes the hornet’s nest, and then runs away, not caring about the consequences left behind!!!
The ten minutes fleetingly passed as they talked.
The three of them, without further ado, began preparing to jump off the train.
Most importantly, it involved disguises!
Xia Xi changed into a clean and tidy set of men’s clothes, put on a fake Adam’s apple, and stuck two little mustaches on, perfectly transforming into the middle-aged version of Lin Shuai, Mr. Lin’s appearance.
As for Gu Tong, she changed into a red dress, stuffed her belly with a thick cushion, slipped on black women’s sandals, and stood next to Xia Xi with a slightly contemptuous look.
’Ding--’
’Attention all passengers, the train is about to reach Zezhang Mountain. Passengers getting off at this station, please prepare to disembark.’
The announcement kept repeating the imminent arrival at the station.
"Madam, take it slow," Xia Xi steadied Gu Tong, cautiously sticking close to her side, and said, "Only three more joints to go!"
Xia Xi’s booked compartment was an independent second compartment. Though there was an exit, getting off right in the open would inevitably attract attention.
So, from the start, they had already sneaked into the first compartment. With just five linking carriages to traverse, they could reach the exit.
The pursuers were in the third compartment, so they didn’t have to worry about being slow!
The compartment was crowded, packed with travelers, carrying all sorts of luggage, even the aisles in the train were filled with passengers ready to get off.
Xia Xi and Gu Tong were at the back, but they too were squeezed in quite a bit.
One thing to be thankful for, Gu Tong was disguised as a pregnant woman, so there were many kind people who voluntarily made way for them.
After some maneuvering, they finally made it past the second link, just one more to go before reaching the exit.
However――
Just then, from behind, came a voice: "Make way, make way! Everyone move aside!"
