Upon hearing the young man's words, my brow immediately furrowed.
Ignoring my reaction, the young man continued, "Boss Su asked me to convey her apologies! You were implicated due to the incident involving the card sharps at the venue."
"Furthermore, due to the opponent's overwhelming strength, she cannot provide you with any overt assistance!"
"Besides that, she also asked me to give you a warning! Her rival has decided to make an example of you, and has already issued a stern warning on the Longxi's Blue Road!"
"Whoever can chop off three of your fingers will be rewarded with a hundred thousand cash! Chop off a hand, and you'll get two hundred thousand cash!"
"It's precisely because of these bounty rewards that I had the opportunity to associate with Cao Hongliang and his crew!"
"Unfortunately, this group led by Cao Hongliang is not only insular but also highly suspicious. They never intended to involve me!"
"If they failed to deal with you just now, they certainly won't give up so easily."
"When the train arrives at the station, get off immediately and leave. Absolutely do not transfer!"
"Just now, I overheard Cao Hongliang saying that he's already contacted people to intercept you."
"If you continue to transfer trains, you'll likely be cornered and eliminated!"
"Get off at Jinling! Jinling is not Longxi. Even if Cao Hongliang's gang has the audacity, they wouldn't dare to act in unfamiliar territory."
"Moreover, Jinling is vast. Once you've shaken off all the tails behind you, you can then return to your lair!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown deeply.
Looking up at the young man, who was now only inches away, I observed his subtle facial expressions and body language.
I intended to discern the truth or falsehood of his words from them.
One must always be wary of others.
Even though the young man had introduced himself upfront, it was still possible he was playing some intricate game of double-dealing or a trap within a trap!
Ever since the incident with Yu Shuang, I had secretly vowed never to allow myself to be easily manipulated or led by the nose again.
Therefore, I merely listened to the young man's entire account in broad strokes.
As for how to proceed, it would certainly require careful consideration and deliberation…
Logically, under the condition of being pursued and ambushed, staying on the train and seeking out the conductors would be the most sensible choice.
With the conductors' protection, those people would surely not dare to act openly.
However, such protection would be extremely short-lived.
And more importantly, there was a fatal flaw in this approach.
That flaw was that after alighting at the station, there would be tails following me everywhere!
And it would be a situation where I was in the open, and the enemy was in the shadows.
As things stood, Anhai was my sanctuary. If I were to draw these powerful enemies there, I feared I would have no peaceful days ahead.
Therefore, transferring was out of the question.
As for whether or not to utilize the vastness of Jinling to shake off these pursuers… I'll keep you in suspense for now!
………………
Snapping out of my reverie, I glanced at the front and rear carriages before lowering my voice and asking the young man, "What should I call you?"
"You may address me by my surname, Huang, and my given name is Feixiang," the young man replied earnestly.
Huang Feixiang? Feixiang as in the character for 'to fly'.
If this name wasn't fake, it actually held a certain significance.
Although Huang Feixiang had shown no abnormalities in his facial expressions or body language earlier, I still decided to test him.
With this thought, I continued, "What is your relationship with Boss Su Liuli? Why did she never mention you to me before?"
"Heh heh."
With a mysterious chuckle, Huang Feixiang lowered his voice and replied, "Trying to pry information out of me?"
"Knowing my identity is not necessarily a good thing for you!"
"You only need to know that we are comrades on the same front!"
"As for anything else, you can worry about that after you figure out how to shake off the tails behind you!"
"After all, you can barely take care of yourself right now."
………………
Returning to my seat in the carriage, I lowered my voice and said to Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun, "Those people don't plan to give up. They're preparing to ambush us when we transfer!"
"When we arrive at Jinling Station later, we're getting off directly!"
"Getting off!?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Minglang immediately scoffed and said sternly, "Just a few small fries. What are we afraid of them for!?"
"If someone hadn't called the conductors earlier, don't you believe I could have taken them all down?"
Before I could speak, Han Jinlun added resentfully, "I don't know about the others, but that woman… I can definitely take her down!!!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes in exasperation.
At a time like this, they were still thinking about such trivial matters between men and women!
"A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. When you're out and about, try to avoid trouble as much as possible!"
"Moreover, the enemy's situation is not yet fully clear."
"When we get to the station later, everyone gets off with me!"
I said meaningfully, casting a pointed glance in the direction of Cao Hongliang and his crew.
"Damn it! They're just a bunch of insignificant pawns. Do we really need to hide!?"
Hearing my words, Cheng Minglang grumbled discontentedly.
Seeing this, I offered no further explanation, instead turning my gaze thoughtfully towards the window…
About half an hour later.
With a long and loud whistle, the train began to slow down and gradually came to a halt.
Upon reaching Jinling Station, transferring passengers began packing their luggage in their respective carriages, preparing to disembark.
As for the three of us, we carried nothing and remained seated, quietly waiting for the train to stop.
Just then, from the carriage ahead, a sudden commotion of footsteps could be heard approaching.
Soon after, the figures of Cao Hongliang and his group gradually came into my line of sight.
Seeing this, my expression changed slightly. I immediately stood up, signaling Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun to follow me.
The moment the train came to a complete stop, I, along with Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun, dashed out of the platform and hurried towards the train station…
………………
As soon as I exited the train station, I hailed a taxi, intending to shake off the tails behind us.
Unfortunately, shortly after getting into the car, I noticed in the rearview mirror that a taxi was following us at a steady pace, less than twenty meters behind.
Cao Hongliang was sitting in the front passenger seat.
At this very moment, Cao Hongliang was constantly on the phone.
"Driver, someone is tracking us. Please step on it!"
Hearing my words, the taxi driver instinctively glanced at the rearview mirror before slamming the accelerator.
Seeing this, the taxi behind us also sped up.
Judging by this momentum, it would take some effort to shake off Cao Hongliang and his group…
With this thought, I reached into my pocket and handed five hundred-yuan bills to the taxi driver.
"Driver, I'm renting your car for today. Take me on a wild goose chase and lose them!"
