Even through the crowd, Zhou Yu could clearly see the gloom on her face, like a bucket of cold water in the dead of winter, chilling him to the bone from head to toe.

One moment he was immersed in beautiful dreams for the future, the next all his fantasies shattered and vanished like bubbles.

We can't sit still and wait for death!

Zhou Yu quickly composed himself and, before Xu Xinran could focus her gaze on him, he abruptly stood up and nimbly walked towards the restroom at the back of the carriage.

As he passed by Shen Shuqing, he quickly gave him a look. Without saying a word, Shen Shuqing understood and silently chose to protect Miaomiao beside him, observing the situation.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry, because..." Xu Xinran's voice rang out in the carriage. Her eyes, which seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, turned deep instantly after catching Zhou Yu's figure about to disappear at the bathroom door.

"I left a very important item in the car and I must get it back."

Upon hearing this, the passengers in the carriage immediately erupted in an uproar. It turned out that this young lady had gone to such lengths and made such a fuss just to find something.

The world of the rich is indeed hard to understand.

Although the passengers were dissatisfied, they could only remain silent under the intimidation of the black-clad bodyguards.

An eerie silence fell over the carriage, broken only by the soft patter of footsteps.

Zhou Yu hid in the bathroom, leaning against the cold door, his heart pounding like a drum.

He was terrified that Xu Xinran would discover his hiding place, so he could only pray silently that she would leave as soon as possible.

However, the soundproofing in the bathroom was not good, and the noise outside could still be faintly heard, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and every second felt like torture.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Yu's heart tightened, and he held his breath, not daring to make a sound.

"Is anyone inside? If no one is, I'll open the door."

The voices of staff members could be heard outside the door. Clearly, Xu Xinran was determined to search every corner and had even brought in staff members to assist in the search.

Zhou Yu's heart was pounding in his chest. He could only hold on tightly to the door, his heart filled with despair.

However, just then, Xu Xinran's voice came from outside.

"Never mind, let's go look somewhere else."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, thinking he had finally escaped a calamity.

But then he heard the sound of the lock being turned, and his heart leaped into his throat again. He tried his best to hold the door shut, but the person outside was clearly not going to back down either, and their strength clashed fiercely against the door.

With a loud bang, the door was finally pushed open, and Xu Xinran appeared in the doorway with a complex and surprised expression.

Her gaze lingered on Zhou Yu for a moment, as if trying to see through him completely.

"Zhou Yu, I knew you wouldn't die!"

Xu Xinran's voice carried a hint of barely concealed excitement, but it quickly turned cold and resolute. "Quick! Come home with me!"

Caught off guard, Zhou Yu instinctively took a step back, his back pressed tightly against the bathroom wall, his eyes filled with vigilance and disgust.

"Who are you? I don't know you!"

He decided to pretend he didn't know her and try to get away with it.

Xu Xinran sneered and slowly walked into the restroom, her eyes lingering on Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu, are you trying to pull this amnesia trick on me? Even if you pretend to have amnesia, you can't escape. Come home with me!"

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed; he hadn't expected Xu Xinran to so directly expose his pretense.

He quickly considered his options, trying to find a chance to escape.

“Miss, you’ve really mistaken me for someone else. My name is Xu Wei, not Zhou Yu as you say.”

He tried to answer calmly, but the tremor in his voice betrayed his nervousness.

Xu Xinran curled her lips into a cold smile as she approached Zhou Yu step by step, enjoying the sense of control as if she were a cat playing with a mouse.

"Zhou Yu, don't waste your energy. Do you think you can hide from me by changing your name and identity?"

The air in the restroom seemed to freeze; both of their breathing could be clearly heard.

Zhou Yu knew that he was like a trapped beast and had to find a way out.

He took a sudden step forward, trying to break through Xu Xinran's defenses, but she was clearly prepared. She quickly stretched out her arm and blocked Zhou Yu's path.

At the same time, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, clearly Xu Xinran's bodyguards had heard the commotion and were on their way.

"Zhou Yu, you'd better think this through!" Xu Xinran's voice was as cold as ice, her gaze sweeping lightly over the direction where Shen Shuqing and Miaomiao were.

"If you don't want innocent people to get involved, then come back with me obediently!"

Zhou Yu followed her gaze and felt as if his heart had plummeted into an ice cave...
