Just then, the sound of heavy rain was suddenly heard from outside. The interviewer stuffed the card back into An Zhe’s hand and spoke very quickly. “Go!”

An Zhe quickly followed Colin into the passage on the right. Behind the passage was a glass corridor bridge that was currently being hit by huge and dense raindrops. The outside situation couldn’t be seen at all. They hurried forward and saw that the corridor bridge was connected to the platform of the train station. There was a black-clad ground traffic commander next to the platform.

“My dad doesn’t know yet!” Colin asked, “Are we going to the main city now?”

The commander grabbed his arm and shoved him into a carriage. “Don’t talk nonsense!”

An Zhe was also crammed in. The train was full while Colin frantically dialled a number on his communicator but failed to get through. They went all the way down to the last carriage, which was empty.

An Zhe sat down in a corner, the rear window of the train behind him. The rear scene was clearly visible and the tracks were submerged in the rain and fog. Colin sat the furthest distance away from An Zhe and kept calling on his communicator, muttering to himself, “No, there is something wrong. I have to go back—”

He almost jumped out of his seat when he heard the sound of all the train doors closing at the same time. Colin hammered on the door a few times but it didn’t move at all. Instead, it attracted the train staff.

“Sit down!” The conductor was a strong minute. “You will be able to go to the main city in a minute. What’s the problem?”

“My dad doesn’t know yet!” Colin called out. “I can’t just go. Are you hiding something from us?”

The conductor was silent for three seconds before saying, “Your dad will be happy for you.”

Colin gasped in his seat. “No, no…”

He repeated ‘no’ for a long time but didn’t say anything else. He just continued to use his communicator.

An Zhe waited quietly in the corner. Five minutes later, there was the sound of a door opening and a few voices. Around 10 minutes later, the entire carriage suddenly became quiet.

“The Judge is here to check.” Someone whispered in front of him.

There was the sound of footsteps. There were two people and the distinctive sound of military boots that was easy to recognize. An Zhe looked up as the footsteps got closer. He looked right into Lu Feng’s eyes.

“My god.” The young judge behind Lu Feng saw him and said, “We thought you weren’t here.”

“I… am.” An Zhe looked into Lu Feng’s eyes, a faint uneasiness in his heart as he asked, “What happened?”
