Early the next morning, they boarded the train and set off!
The sightseeing train looked quite like the old-fashioned trains in movies. It moved slowly as Lu Zheng and Lin Wan sat on one side, taking in the lakes and mountains outside the window. The view was rather nice.
"Are you two from Hua Country?"
A warm, clear voice drifted over, speaking in English.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan turned around and looked at the man and woman seated opposite them.
The man was refined, elegant, and strikingly handsome.
The woman was tall, youthful, and beautiful.
Clad from head to toe in luxury brands, the woman resembled a proud peacock. The way she looked at Lu Zheng and Lin Wan carried a faint sense of superiority, as though she stood above them.
The man, meanwhile, wore understated, well-fitted clothes with no visible brand. His face seemed to perpetually bear an elegant, proper smile, and there was no aggression in the way he looked at them.
Yet it was obvious that from the moment they boarded until now, the woman had kept her arm linked with his, her every word full of flattery. It was clear that the man's status far surpassed hers.
What was more...
Lu Zheng cast a discreet glance around and spotted two burly men who looked like tourists, seated separately in the rows before and behind them. Though they chatted, lounged about, and even looked at their phones, one of them always kept his attention on that man.
Tsk tsk, two bodyguards! Given the woman's gaze, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan had no interest in crossing paths with them.
"Yes, we're from Hua Country."
Lu Zheng answered politely, then turned to look out the window, making it clear that he did not wish to continue the conversation.
