484: The documents they just produced are forged.
These pancakes smelled very fragrant, with a hint of chili, making them sound delicious just by smelling them.
But they dared not eat anything from strangers.
When they were in the Military Unit, they heard their comrades-in-arms say that there were bad people on trains nowadays.
The way these two men stared at them was very suspicious, and now they were even offering to exchange food. If they had meat pies, why would they want to exchange for their food?
Could it be that they really wanted to taste their food? Or were they planning to do something to them?
Human traffickers?
Hu Ping and Yang Fang were startled, but without evidence, they couldn't just rush to the Railway Police Officer and report human traffickers.
If it was a misunderstanding, it would be troublesome.
After eating, they didn't dare to leave now. They had a lot of luggage. If one person stayed here and these two men attacked that person, what would they do?
But if they all left, what if these two men stole their things?
Although they kept important items close to their bodies, the clothes in their bags included military uniform, and their other clothes were also very expensive.
There were also some other daily necessities, which cost a lot of money.
So neither option was good for them now.
“Pingping, I really need to use the restroom.”
The more nervous Yang Fang got, the more she wanted to go to the toilet. She stood up and immediately walked outside.
Hu Ping saw Yang Fang run off, and her expression was a little displeased. But she still had He Juan here, and besides, they had learned a lot in the Military Unit. If these two men really dared to do anything, she would give them a good beating.
“comrades, where are you going?”
Hearing their question, Hu Ping and He Juan did not answer.
Seeing that they didn't answer, the two men smiled and spoke again.
“We are cadres from Rongcheng Chengdu, and we are also on a business trip this time...”
Hu Ping still didn't speak. He Juan scrutinized them. They were wearing new cotton clothes, and one of them even had a watch on his wrist. They looked decent, but their eyes made them very uncomfortable.
“These are our documents.”
One of them took out his document first, and the other followed suit.
Hu Ping and He Juan looked at their documents. They had seen some documents before, and they didn't know if the documents of the people opposite were real or fake, but since they dared to take them out so openly, they probably weren't fake.
Hu Ping and He Juan's guard against the two men lessened a little.
Seeing that they ignored them, the two men each took out a book to read. One of them held a notebook with the words “Municipal Government” printed on it.
Seeing this, the two women believed them by more than half.
“What kind of work do you do?” He Juan hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask.
She was at an age where her family wanted to arrange a blind date for her, but she didn't want to find someone from her hometown. Although these two men in front of her weren't particularly handsome, they were cadres from the Chengdu.
If she got to know them, maybe... “Just in the Chengdu office... writing some articles, helping leaders relay messages...”
A secretary's job?
Hu Ping was a little surprised, and He Juan's eyes lit up even more.
This was no ordinary cadre.
Chengdu office, could it be the secretary to the Municipal Party Secretary or the Mayor?
That's a high-ranking official!!!
Hu Ping still didn't speak, but He Juan put on a smile.
“That's truly impressive.”
The two men exchanged glances and started chatting with He Juan. Hu Ping still said little.
What these two men did had nothing to do with her, but it was fine to get to know them.
“May I ask what your names are, comrades?”
“My name is He Juan, her name is Hu Ping, and that other comrade is Yang Fang.”
“Comrade Hu, comrade He.”
The two men smiled and greeted them.
“Which unit are you from?”
Neither Hu Ping nor He Juan answered, and one of the men immediately apologized.
“I'm sorry, we just think you are very outstanding and want to get to know you better, maybe we can become friends in the future... We highly respect Soldiers...”
“Comrade Zhang is right.”
“My name is Zhang Fei, and his name is Zhou Yang...”
When Yang Fang returned, for some reason, Hu Ping and He Juan were chatting with them, and she looked on with some confusion.
He Juan happily said.
“Fangfang, let me introduce you. They are cadres from the Rongcheng Chengdu Government...”
He Juan praised the two men profusely. Initially, she disliked them and thought they had bad intentions, but now that she knew their identities, she saw them through a different lens.
The two men then offered them meat pies again.
“We bought these outside the train station. We heard they're very famous... Please try them.”
Hu Ping and the others still didn't dare to eat meat pies given by strangers.
Zhang Fei picked up a pie, tore off a piece, and started eating it.
“This indeed smells very fragrant.”
Zhou Yang also took another piece and started eating it.
Seeing them eat the pies, Yang Fang and He Juan, who hadn't eaten their fill, were tempted by the fragrant meat pies. But they were still a little scared.
Seeing that they still weren't eating, the two men frowned, exchanged glances, and one of them climbed to his own bunk.
The other also lay down on the lower bunk.
He Juan looked at the two men, she had some thoughts in her mind, but at this moment, she was still a little wary.
After Hu Ping lay on the bed, she still didn't dare to sleep.
He Juan sat beside her, also taking out a book to read.
After Xiao Niannian woke up, she sat up and took out her iron lunchbox to eat. Inside her iron lunchbox was food made by her grandmothers, including beef and steamed cured meat. Because it was put in while still hot, it still had a little warmth now.
The aroma quickly made the other people in the carriage look over. Although the food they brought had some fragrance, the smell of this beef and cured meat was truly too fragrant.
Could it be that this person's lunchbox was hot?
No, this person had slept for several hours, so it couldn't possibly still be hot.
Hu Ping lay on the bed and didn't see Xiao Niannian above her. He Juan looked up but also didn't see her.
Yang Fang also leaned down, but couldn't see clearly.
The two men looked at Xiao Niannian, their gazes met hers, and seeing Xiao Niannian's sharp eyes, they were startled. Was this person a man or a woman? Why were their eyes so fierce?
After Xiao Niannian finished eating, she put her lunchbox back into her cloth bag.
Her gaze swept across the faces of the two men, and seeing them lower their heads, she lay down again.
Xiao Niannian sensed that these two people had problems; the documents they had just shown were fake.
She wanted to see if these two were human traffickers, or what they intended to do?
Although Hu Ping and the others were like that before, no matter how much she disliked them, they were still comrades-in-arms, and she couldn't just stand by and watch them be in danger.
She was wearing ordinary cotton clothes underneath for this trip, but her overcoat was the latest model of military overcoat.
