Chapter 157

~7 min read 1,289 words

At this very moment, the long journey was almost halfway through. Lu Haoxuan appeared to be closing his eyes leisurely, pretending to rest, but in reality, his brain was spinning at high speed, racking his brains to think about how to pass on important information without Xiang Feng noticing.

He wanted to make a phone call, but his mobile phone was now firmly in Xiang Feng's hands; he intended to pass a note, but he couldn't find an opportunity to leave Xiang Feng's sight at all. After all, this Xiang Feng is a guy who stares at people extremely closely, or even somewhat pervertedly! Even for something as simple as going to the toilet, Xiang Feng had to guard the door like a ghost, and absolutely wouldn't allow him to lock the door...

As time passed second by second, Lu Haoxuan's doubts grew heavier. He couldn't help but start to suspect, could it be that the mysterious God Lord and A Lan actually knew long ago that he hadn't been completely controlled by the drugs? Otherwise, how to explain their strict precautions against him? However, what puzzled him was, if this was true, why did they still risk letting him out to perform this task? What kind of deep meaning and conspiracy are hidden in this?

Lu Haoxuan pondered hard, but couldn't figure out the mystery. He naturally couldn't imagine that there would be such a meticulous and unfathomable person in this world! He didn't realize that a grand and complex chess game was slowly unfolding silently... And at this moment, the rhythmic "clatter! clatter!" sound of the train coming from his ears seemed to have become a melody in this unknown chess game.

He had considered using force to subdue Xiang Feng, but soon realized that even if successful, the probability was difficult to guarantee, and his undercover identity would definitely be exposed.

The current situation is not yet clear, he didn't want to cut off all possibilities, so he decided to look for an opportunity to contact Gu Changzheng.

The top priority is that he needs a piece of paper and a pen, or any item that can leave traces on paper. He had already memorized the layout of the carriage: he and Xiang Feng slept on the opposite lower bunks, the middle bunk above him was a middle-aged man who had been lying on the bunk except for going to the toilet and eating since getting on the train, and the middle bunk opposite was a female student who looked 18 or 19 years old, who, like the middle-aged man on his side, had no communication with anyone.

On the upper bunk side, his side was empty, while Xiang Feng's side was a lean young man who seemed quite restless. Although he bought an upper bunk ticket, he went up and down frequently along the way, and it was hard to see him quiet. This young man became the key person for Lu Haoxuan to pass information to the outside.

He found that the young man had a relatively careless personality, his luggage was thrown around, and there was a plastic bag from a supermarket at the head of the bed, which contained several boxes of bowl noodles and ham sausages. Lu Haoxuan thought of an idea, but he also had to hope that he hadn't thrown away the supermarket receipt!

At dinner time, the young man who had been sitting on the aisle chair and chatting with Lu Haoxuan was ready to eat. By the way, getting familiar with the young man was also an important part of his plan.

Just after the young man greeted him enthusiastically, he turned around and prepared to climb to his upper bunk to take a bowl of instant noodles placed there. However, at this moment, Lu Haoxuan's throat slid unconsciously, as if it were a subtle sound made when swallowing saliva. And this small action happened to fall into the eyes of the young man who was getting up and about to go to the upper bunk to get noodles.

The young man's face immediately showed a kind smile, and he teased Lu Haoxuan: "Old man, looking at you like this, are you hungry? Hehe, if you don't mind, why don't you try my portion? It not only has fragrant noodles but also a delicious ham sausage, the taste is simply great, I guarantee you will eat to your heart's content!" After speaking, the young man didn't forget to raise the instant noodles in his hand proudly.

Hearing the young man's enthusiastic invitation, Lu Haoxuan smiled slightly, then quickly glanced at Xiang Feng sitting opposite with the corner of his eye, and then responded with a somewhat cunning tone: "Oh, young man, thank you for your kindness! But, no trouble for you, my son will naturally arrange delicious food for me!" When saying this, Lu Haoxuan deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the two words "son," obviously intending to take advantage of Xiang Feng.

Facing Lu Haoxuan's sudden move, Xiang Feng was speechless for a moment. He knew very well that Lu Haoxuan said this to deliberately anger himself, so as to find the flaws in his emotions. But Xiang Feng was not so easily fooled. He just glanced at Lu Haoxuan indifferently, and replied slowly and coldly: "Okay, let's just buy food on the train!" After speaking, he ignored Lu Haoxuan and closed his eyes to rest on his seat.

The young man smiled, stepped on Xiang Feng's bunk, reached out to grab his plastic bag, and then pulled the bag down with a "whoosh". When the bag flashed before his eyes, Lu Haoxuan saw a white paper strip about 10 centimeters long in the transparent bag, which should be the receipt he bought these foods.

He knew that supermarkets generally use thermal paper, and this kind of paper can leave marks with hard objects, just like writing with a pen. He was betting that there was this kind of thermal paper receipt in the young man's bag. The next step is how to get the receipt under Xiang Feng's nose!

Lu Haoxuan saw the food bag placed on the public dining table between the two bunks. He pretended to get his water cup, and then accidentally touched the bag. The bag was knocked to the ground, just falling at the young man's feet.

The young man bent down to pick it up, and Lu Haoxuan took the opportunity to squat down to help pick it up. At this time, Xiang Feng seemed to have discovered something wrong and immediately pushed away the young man who was blocking him.

At this time, Lu Haoxuan had returned to the bunk and sat down, saying to the young man: "Oh, I'm old and useless! I'm really sorry!" Xiang Feng stared at him and didn't find anything unusual, and returned to his position somewhat sullenly.

Lu Haoxuan looked at him and said: "I'm old, I can't stand hunger!"

The young man also looked at Xiang Feng and said: "Hey! Brother, the old man is hungry, why don't you go buy food?"

Xiang Feng said coldly: "The train attendant will come over in a while, wait a minute!"

Taking advantage of the gap between Xiang Feng and the young man talking, Lu Haoxuan secretly used his fingernails to engrave the words "Contact Gu Changzheng, Lu Yuxi is in danger, report to the police quickly" on the receipt.

Then he pretended that his stomach was uncomfortable and wanted to go to the toilet. When he got up, he quietly stuffed the receipt into the young man's open pocket. The young man didn't notice at all and was still eating noodles in big mouthfuls.
