Chapter 271 Getting off the bus halfway
After making sure that both of them were safe and sound, Li Youquan and Bai Ling were finally able to put down the burden in their hearts.
They smiled at each other, as if all their worries disappeared at this moment.
But what happened just now was like a huge rock hitting their hearts, making them feel heavy.
However, at this time Professor Wang and Teacher Guo discovered that Hu Jianjun was not in the private room, which made them feel a little nervous.
They looked at each other, wondering where Hu Jianjun was going and what might have happened.
Li Youquan looked at the two people who seemed to be hesitant to talk and sighed helplessly.
He knew very well that this incident came too suddenly and caught everyone off guard.
So he tried to comfort her in a calm tone.
"Don't worry, everything is fine. Something happened on the train just now, and Hu Jianjun is discussing things with the conductor. It's good that you're awake. Let's get ready and get off at the next stop."
Although Li Youquan had a smile on his face, there was still a hint of worry in the depths of his eyes.
He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and must be handled with caution.
Although Bai Ling didn't say anything, the expression on her face did not relax at all.
She also knew that this experience would leave a deep impression on them.
Professor Wang and Teacher Guo were both a little surprised after hearing what Li Youquan said.
They were a little confused for a moment and didn't understand why Li Youquan suddenly said this.
Teacher Guo couldn't help but ask.
"Have we reached Haicheng yet?"
She said as she looked out the window, but at this point she couldn't tell where they were.
Li Youquan shook his head and explained.
"Not yet. We need to get off early. This train is no longer safe."
Although Bai Ling didn't know why Li Youquan suddenly made this decision, she still reacted subconsciously.
She understood that Li Youquan's decision was for everyone's safety, so she didn't say anything from beginning to end.
After hearing the two people's explanation, although Professor Wang and Teacher Guo were still a little confused, they didn't say much in the end.
They knew now was not the time to dwell on the causes but to take action as soon as possible.
Since Li Youquan is the one escorting them, they should give Li Youquan enough trust and believe that he will definitely send them to Haicheng safely.
"Hurry up and eat something. After we get off the bus, we will be in a hurry to make it."
Li Youquan took out food from his luggage and handed it to Professor Wang and Teacher Guo.
After they took the food, they began to eat in silence.
Just as the two were eating, Hu Jianjun also came back.
He also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Professor Wang and Teacher Guo wake up.
He walked up to the two of them and spoke in a low voice.
"I have already informed the conductor. He will help resolve the matter and will also ask others to keep their mouths shut."
Hu Jianjun's words made Li Youquan frown suddenly. He always felt that this matter would never let go like this.
He took a deep breath and then told Hu Jianjun his decision.
"I've already told Professor Wang and the others that we'll get off at the next stop."
Hu Jianjun looked at Li Youquan in surprise, obviously not expecting him to make such a decision suddenly.
"Are you worried that someone might spread this?"
Bai Ling roughly guessed the worry in Li Youquan's heart, and her expression changed immediately.
Hearing this, Li Youquan nodded slightly, his eyes becoming even more serious, and he explained.
"We can't hide what happened on the train from others. If we change trains temporarily, we may be able to catch them off guard."
Li Youquan explained his general plan, but Hu Jianjun did not give an immediate response. Instead, he was thinking about the feasibility of the plan.
After a while, Hu Jianjun felt that what Li Youquan said made sense, so he nodded and agreed.
He knew that now was not the time to hesitate, but to take action as soon as possible to protect everyone's safety.
When the busy figures of the crowd gradually died down and the items in the carriage had been put in order, the roar of the train began to gradually weaken, indicating that it was about to arrive at the destination.
Li Youquan moved quickly. He quickly packed the last item and stuffed it neatly into his luggage bag. He stared out the window, waiting for the moment when the train stopped, ready to get off at any time.
The train finally stopped steadily at the platform.
Almost immediately after the car stopped, a group of crew members came running over in a hurry. Their faces were filled with complicated expressions, and they obviously knew what had happened before.
Li Youquan even saw that the train conductor came over in person and looked at them with a flattering face.
Li Youquan looked at this large group of people and couldn't help but frowning slightly.
"There's really no need for so many people. It would be fine if only the conductor stayed."
Li Youquan's voice was firm and powerful. He couldn't let these crew members send them out, as that would only attract unnecessary attention.
“We don’t want to draw too much attention.”
He added.
Li Youquan's words made Hu Jianjun suddenly wake up. He was originally planning the next course of action, but now he realized that their behavior was indeed a bit unnatural.
He raised his head, smiled apologetically at the conductor and said.
"Conductor, please let them go about their business first. We are enough here."
Although he said this with a smile, one could still feel the pressure on Hu Jianjun for no reason.
The conductor also realized that his actions might be a bit too high-profile, so he quickly nodded and agreed, and asked the crew members to return to their posts.
After the crowd dispersed, Li Youquan stood up and prepared to get off the bus.
The conductor walked in front to lead the way, Bai Ling and Li Youquan followed behind Professor Wang and Teacher Guo, while Hu Jianjun walked at the front, always vigilantly observing the situation around him.
As they had to change cars temporarily, they could only wait in the lounge for the time being.
Li Youquan did not relax his vigilance because of this. He carefully checked every corner of the lounge to make sure there was nothing unusual.
When he confirmed that it was safe here, he nodded with satisfaction and said to Hu Jianjun.
"There's no problem here for now. I have to go out for something. You guys watch over here first."
Hu Jianjun nodded to show that he understood.
Li Youquan turned and walked out, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
What was happening here was too complicated, and he needed to sort out his thoughts.
In addition, he hadn't contacted his family for several days, so he wanted to call home to report that he was safe.
Li Youquan called home only after he made sure that no one was following him or eavesdropping on his phone calls.
