After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

They decided to change their plans at the last minute, abandoning their original flight to the north in three days and instead choosing to leave the city by train as soon as possible.

Shen Shuqing's fingers flew across the phone screen, checking the latest train schedules, his brow furrowed. "There's a train heading north at noon; we have to leave quickly, we can't delay any longer."

Zhou Yu nodded, feeling a little uneasy, but also knowing that this was the safest course of action at the moment.

After confirming that there were no suspicious people around, they quickly hailed a taxi and headed straight for the train station.

On the way, the journey took about half an hour. Because of the terrifying events of the previous night, Zhou Yu's nerves were still on edge. As soon as he got in the car, exhaustion washed over him like a tide, and he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep and even had nightmares.

In his dream, Xu Xinran's face, which he desperately wanted to forget, was clearly visible. Her eyes were as cold as frost, as if they could penetrate the dream and stare directly at him.

"Zhou Yu, you shouldn't have lied to me."

Zhou Yu suddenly woke up with a start, his back drenched in sweat. The fear in his dream felt like a real experience, leaving him with lingering fear.

He looked around and saw Miaomiao's clear eyes quietly watching him. Her tender face was like a ray of warm sunshine, dispelling the gloom in his heart.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Miaomiao noticed Zhou Yu's unusual behavior and asked softly, gently patting Zhou Yu's arm as if offering silent comfort.

Zhou Yu forced a smile and patted Miaomiao's head: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare, I'm fine now."

The outline of the train station gradually became clear in front of them. They hurriedly got off the train, dragged their luggage, and weaved through the crowd, heading straight for the ticket hall.

Shen Shuqing quickly completed all the formalities and bought a ticket for the train that was about to depart.

"Tickets are about to be checked, we need to hurry."

They ran all the way and finally boarded the train, panting, just before the doors were about to close.

The carriage was bustling with noise as they found their seats.

Zhou Yu sat by the window, with Miao Miao close to him, while Shen Shuqing sat by the aisle, his eyes sharp as an eagle, constantly alert to his surroundings.

As the train slowly started moving, Zhou Yu's heart calmed down.

However, as night fell and he tried to fall asleep again, he found that Xu Xinran's cold face and the words "You shouldn't have lied to me" kept appearing in his mind, like a curse that he couldn't shake off.

"Zhou Yu, don't think too much about it. It's all in the past now," Shen Shuqing said softly, seeing Zhou Yu's struggle.

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile and shook his head: "Brother Shen, I'm fine. I just feel like I've dragged you all into this."

Shen Shuqing patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, "Don't be so formal. Even without your involvement, Miaomiao and I would have left anyway."

Zhou Yu felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.

Just then, the train's announcement system suddenly came on: "Attention passengers, the train is about to arrive at Chuancheng Station. Passengers who need to disembark, please prepare to disembark in advance."

Chuancheng is nearly 1 kilometers away from Yuncheng, where they started.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu felt an indescribable surge of excitement. He was finally getting further and further away from that place, and closer and closer to a new life and hope.

Fifteen minutes later, the train slowly pulled into Chuancheng Station, a busy transit hub that was as bustling and lively as ever.

As the doors opened, waves of passengers poured into the carriage, making the atmosphere inside even more lively.

However, at that moment, seven or eight men dressed in black, looking menacing, walked in from outside the car. Their eyes were cold, their steps were synchronized, and they stood out from the surrounding passengers, looking more like well-trained bodyguards.

"What's going on? Has some big shot arrived?"

Passengers speculated, and some even began to worry about whether they would be kicked off the bus.

Zhou Yu couldn't say a word; his gaze was fixed on the men in black because he recognized one of them.

That's Xu Xinran's personal bodyguard!

He would never forget the day Jiang Wanwan's face was smeared with dirt; it was this person who held him firmly in his grasp.

His presence here now means...

Xu Xinran is here too!

Zhou Yu's heart sank suddenly, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The next second, the face he feared most appeared before him, with a cold smile...
