Zhang Beixing was taken aback by the words he heard.

At first, he didn't quite understand what the woman meant by her words. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

It took him a little over a second before the jealousy kicked in.

What the heck, isn't this woman from Lanxi Kingdom? Is her surfing speed on the internet too fast?

Can she actually keep up with the newest versions domestically in Great Xia?

His face twitched slightly, and for a moment, he couldn't think of any appropriate words to refute her.

Makely was also drawn by the voice from behind.

She turned around in surprise to look at the girl angrily shouting at someone behind her.

At first glance, she was clearly taken aback by the girl's beauty, but it was just a momentary thing.

When she realized the girl was yelling at Zhang Beixing, she was even more astonished.

"Minister Zhang, what did you do to her? Why is she cursing at you?"

Makely was puzzled. From the time she left the restroom to tidying up her makeup at the sink, it was barely a minute or so.

In such a short time, Zhang Beixing managed to engage with strangers?

Even if not positively, he at least caught their attention, right?

In her view, most emotional connections begin with memorable exchanges.

A quarrel also counts as memorable, right?

Zhang Beixing felt a bit tongue-tied by Makely's questioning tease.

He silently rolled his eyes in his heart.

If it weren't for trying to catch the little rascals, would he be in this situation?

It felt very much like a dog biting Lü Dongbin.

Zhang Beixing wasn't the type to defend himself over minor issues, nor was he interested in flirting with strangers here. He raised his finger to Lia.

"I advise you to return what you just took from my friend's pocket within three seconds, or I'll call the service police to escort you to the station immediately!"

What? My pocket's contents?

Makely suddenly realized that Zhang Beixing might be referring to her.

She quickly reached into her pocket in panic.

Indeed, it was empty!

There was supposed to be a USB stick in her pocket, but now it's gone.

The USB stick was extremely important to her, so she carried it everywhere, checking it multiple times a day to make sure it was there.

Even when she was just in the restroom, she checked the stick was still with her.

How did it vanish in just a few minutes??

"Don't just spout nonsense! I'm telling you, you need evidence when you speak; you yellow-skinned monkey!"

Lia's face was full of anger, her already big and round eyes widening even more, staring at Zhang Beixing with hostility.

Yellow-skinned monkey?

Zhang Beixing sneered.

His expression fell instantly, coldly staring at the woman.

"Didn't expect you to be a racist."

"Alright, I won't give you any more time. I'll contact the service police immediately."

"..."

...

...

In the last railcar.

Two senior executives from the DE Organization headquarters were still discussing plans on how to deal with Zhang Beixing further down the road.

Suddenly, they heard some commotion from the front compartments.

They were already feeling guilty, and instantly became alert.

The two exchanged glances, both with a sense of unease.

Again, they exchanged looks without speaking, and intuitively understood each other's thoughts.

Go up front and see what's happening!

The two immediately rose and headed for the front compartment.

As they moved forward, more and more people crowded the aisle, blocking the path entirely.

After moving past two compartments, they realized it was impossible to squeeze further.

Anxiety surged in their hearts, and after one exchanged a glance, the other swiftly grabbed someone nearby to inquire.

"What's happening up front that's causing such a stir?"

"Could it be a robbery?"

The man they asked was a warm-hearted bearded fellow, who looked back in surprise at the people tapping his shoulder.

Seeing the two inquire with a nosy expression, he immediately gave them a knowing smile.

"I heard there's a dark-skinned beauty in front who took a fancy to an Asian man. Went so far as to touch him; her hand even went below his waistband, and he called the service police in shock."

"Now, the Asian guy is saying that girl stole something from him, hahaha, stole what? Her hand went there, was she stealing birds, hahaha!"

"..."

The brows of the two DE Organization members furrowed deeply at this point.

Their eyes met again, reading shock, incomprehension, and astonishment in each other's gazes.

"I totally think this is nonsense."

"I agree. Let's try to squeeze a bit further up, okay?"

"Agreed."

The two hurriedly tried to forge ahead, squeezing past another compartment, and inquired again.

"Oh? Up front, I heard there are two very beautiful women fighting over an Asian man."

"Then one of them got upset and stole from the Asian man while the other woman was in the bathroom."

"..."

This raised more question marks in their minds.

"How come it's different again? Let's move closer, shall we?"

"Mm!"

Thus, the two struggled hard again and squeezed past another compartment.

By this time, they were only two compartments away from where Zhang Beixing was located.

"We can't go any further, or else Zhang Beixing might directly spot us, then our entire plan will be wasted!"

"Yes, we can't proceed further, let's just stay here. We'll inquire what's happening; hopefully, this time we'll hear what we want, the real account."

"Hey buddy, could I ask…"

A girl with short hair was tapped and turned her head, showing them a look of sheer disgust.

"Why don't you open your dog eyes and take a good look!"

Black lines appeared over both their heads.

The girl in front had a nose ring.

She stared at them with a scornful, disdainful, and jealous expression.

They could only apologize with clenched noses and cursed their own bad luck! "Sorry, miss, I'm trying to find out what's happening up front…"

"Nothing much, a woman stealing from another, caught on site by her man."

"The man reported it to the service police, and now the woman's claiming the man secretly filmed her, and they're confronting each other."

"..."

After speaking, the short-haired woman gave them another contemptuous look and turned back.

The two roughly understood the situation now.

"Sure enough, the closer you get to the scene, the more credible the rumors. The description probably doesn't deviate too much."

"It must be Lia, that fool! I asked her in thinking she hadn't acted in over half a year and might have improved."

"I intended her to use beauty to get close to Zhang Beixing and Makely, become friends, then make a move. Didn't expect she'd be exposed so soon."

"She's simply a fool! Hopelessly stupid!"

He was furious, his frustration magnified exponentially.

The other casually comforted him.

"It's good we know what's happening now. The worst would be going in blind."

"This is actually an opportunity; since Lia alarmed others, abandon her and alert others to use this chance to get closer to Zhang Beixing's compartment, spread around him, ready to act at any time."

"Alright!"

The plan brightened his eyes.

Previously, he worried about how those placed on the train could approach Zhang Beixing without being discovered.

Suddenly, it dawned on him, this was the perfect opportunity.

In this situation, approaching Zhang Beixing is actually least likely to be detected!
