Abandoned Village - Part 8

The farmer was small and skinny, with a dark complexion. He wore a dirty work outfit, emitting a foul stench that made others reluctant to sit beside him. He brought his own plastic stool and sat in the corner.

He ate cold steamed buns and drank hot water from a stainless steel lunchbox he received on the train. He carried a snake-skin bag on his back.

In any case, he was an inconspicuous farmer.

However, faintly emanating from that farmer was a familiar scent.

Drugs.

They say sharks can smell blood from miles away, and Hai Baihe believed her exceptional sense of smell wasn't just a coincidence.

She could recognize it because of her teenage rebellious phase, her curiosity about her own heritage. She had conducted various experiments, such as... testing the effects of drugs on herself, only to discover that the addictive doses had no effect on her.

She firmly believed she was not a purebred.

But that's beside the point.

Hai Baihe wanted to know if the farmer was alone in his drug dealing or if he had accomplices. It would be best if he was alone, so she could eliminate him conveniently. If there were others involved, she needed to know who they were.

Liang Xiao seemed to be paying attention to him as well. She suspected he was a policeman, for no particular reason, purely based on intuition.

The two of them chatted aimlessly for a while, and Hai Baihe became increasingly convinced that Liang Xiao was not an ordinary person. Despite all the meaningless conversation, he hadn't revealed any genuine information about himself.

Liang Xiao felt quite guilty. The young girl had already given him her phone number and WeChat, even inviting him to have a meal next time she visited Peace University.

Oh well, he wasn't intentionally flirting with girls while on official duty.

Unknowingly, it was already past midnight. Hai Baihe bid farewell to Liang Xiao and returned to the train compartment to sleep. When she went back, everyone was still awake, but no one paid attention to her. Only Mu Ge softly asked, "Did you get his number?"

Hai Baihe nodded with a smile.

Mu Ge felt relieved. It was worth the internal conflict they had today if she could get the number of such a handsome guy. She didn't want to offend her classmates from the same major, but deep down, she firmly stood on her friend's side!

Betraying friends for the sake of attraction is a common thing!

As Hai Baihe drifted off to sleep, she heard some faint noises. She thought it might be a thief and struggled to open her eyes, but it turned out to be Mu Ge getting out of bed to use the restroom.

Not a thief. She rolled over disappointedly. Without her tail by her side, she couldn't sleep soundly. Sighing to herself, she suddenly heard some commotion outside.

Well, since she was already awake... Hai Baihe yawned and climbed out of bed, preparing to use the restroom as well.

At the entrance of the restroom, there was no one inside, but Mu Ge was angrily scolding someone. When she saw Hai Baihe approaching, she quickly vented her frustration, "Baihe, do you know how uncivilized that person was? I clearly arrived first, but he forcefully pushed me aside and went in first. Shameless!"

She was in the middle of berating someone when the sound of flushing came from the restroom. A tall, imposing man came out, casting a cold glare at Mu Ge.

Mu Ge immediately fell silent.

Hai Baihe's nose twitched. Oh, such a familiar scent... She memorized the man's appearance with a cold gaze and

pushed Mu Ge forward. "Hurry up and use the restroom. I've been holding it in."

Mu Ge, already intimidated, went into the restroom as Hai Baihe watched. When Hai Baihe finished using the restroom, the two of them returned to the train compartment together. Hai Baihe casually asked, "Who was the person who went in before you?"

"It was a farmer, I think." Mu Ge complained, "So uncivilized, he left water all over the floor."

Indeed, the drugs had been moved.
