149: Once suspicion arises, the crime is established.

After dinner, Luo Chen asked Chen Yujun to arrange a room for Fei Lan.

Fei Lan's strength and status were not to be underestimated, and he would need her help to develop some things in the future. It was impossible for her to sleep in a common room like the other women, so a private bedroom was very necessary. Furthermore, a core bedroom wasn't expensive, so there was no need to save on this aspect.

"Can you also reserve a room for me? Ke Xin and I will stay here tonight," Qin Mengyue asked with a smile, looking at Chen Yujun and Fei Lan, who were about to leave.

"No need! It's fine!"

Luo Chen shook his head. He understood Qin Mengyue's meaning: she wanted to show that she was pledging herself to his Train and would not leak any information.

"I think it's still necessary. That way, both of us can be at ease!" Qin Mengyue looked at Luo Chen with serious eyes and retorted.

If she didn't show her attitude, even if Luo Chen said it was fine now, a seed of suspicion would still be planted in his heart.

Once suspicion arises, the accusation is already established.

She had to show her attitude to make Luo Chen lay down his doubts, and the price was her and Ning Kexin.

Moreover, she wasn't sure if Luo Chen would kill her if she really left.

That scene from before was still vivid in her mind—the feeling of being confined, as if her entire body no longer belonged to her, like her soul had left her body, making her feel distressed.

At the same time, she also wanted to use this opportunity to carefully understand Luo Chen and his Train, so as to better cooperate with him in the future.

The basis of cooperation is trust, and the basis of trust is understanding. This step of hers could achieve both.

"Alright!" Luo Chen nodded, leaning back comfortably in his seat.

It was undeniable that Qin Mengyue and Ning Kexin staying on the Train would indeed give him a bit more trust.

He looked at Chen Yujun and said, "Sister Yujun, please arrange a room for Miss Qin and Miss Ning as well."

Qin Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief seeing Luo Chen's relaxed state and quickly said, "We can just share one room!"

Chen Yujun nodded, then turned and first took Fei Lan to bind her as a passenger before taking her to the bedroom.

Fei Lan had been with Luo Chen for a day and a night, and her eyelids were drooping. After binding, she returned to her bedroom to rest first.

"Is your Train leaving tonight?" Qin Mengyue asked again.

"Yes! I've bought everything I needed, so there's no reason to stay here!"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Qin Mengyue's heart. She still had some things to do here, such as awakening in the Awakening Chamber.

But since she was staying on Luo Chen's Train, she couldn't ask Luo Chen to stop and wait for her.

She then gritted her teeth and chose to give up. She looked at Shirasawa Erina and said, "Then, Miss Erina, please trouble you to inform Ruyan to control her Train to follow yours. Also, please tell her that Ke Xin and I won't be returning tonight."

"Okay!" Shirasawa Erina smiled politely and got up to leave.

It was still early. After chatting for a while, Qin Mengyue and Ning Kexin went to the room Chen Yujun had prepared for them.

After the women left, Luo Chen opened the [Passenger Management] module alone.

He found the information for the newly added Fei Lan:

[Name: Fei Lan]

[Gender: Female (Human)]

[Age: 258]

[HP (Lifespan): 9472]

[Strength Level: Awakened 93rd Stage (Wisdom Envoy)]

[Train Identity: Regular Passenger]

"Awakened 93rd Stage? I was really bold!"

Luo Chen's jaw dropped. If he had known Fei Lan's strength, he wouldn't have dared to make a move on her.

This must be what they call ignorance is bliss! Luo Chen thought.

Fortunately, he succeeded and even lured Fei Lan onto the Train.

Thanks to the rules, thanks to the great Benefactor, the smile on his face was uncontrollable when he thought of this.

Having brought in an Awakened 93rd Stage expert, he would have more confidence facing other powerhouses in the future...

"Miss Fei, the bed, table, and chairs have all been arranged for you. Do you have any other needs?" Chen Yujun asked politely, looking at Fei Lan, who was looking around.

"No, thank you!" Fei Lan shook her head. Although the room was much worse than her room on the Golden Carriage, she wasn't a person who cared much about living conditions, or perhaps, she had already enjoyed everything.

Compared to luxurious material conditions, she now desired spiritual fulfillment. The pleasure of gaining new knowledge every day was more meaningful than empty external things.

"Miss Chen, um... can I call you Yujun?" Fei Lan asked.

"Of course!" Chen Yujun smiled slightly.

"Yujun, if you have any books from your civilization, you can give me some. I'd like to understand more," Fei Lan said.

"Yes, do you want me to get them for you now?"

"Tomorrow! It's too late today!" Fei Lan shook her head and sat down on the bed. She had already washed up and changed into a clean set of clothes.

"Then I'll go now. If you need anything, you can contact me through your personal wristband!" Chen Yujun wiggled the personal wristband on her wrist.

After Chen Yujun left, Fei Lan stared blankly ahead, pondering to herself.

Now that she had a goal, she needed to plan carefully. There was no research foundation here, so she would need to find other friends to buy some research instruments and materials, and also Train some assistants...

Fei Lan pondered for a long time, and a complete plan had already formed in her mind. "Never mind, I'll sleep first! I'll deal with it tomorrow. I've been traveling for two days; I'm too tired..."

Luo Chen returned to his bedroom. As Luo Chen opened the door, he found two cat-girls wearing only a `mantou gai` (a type of top) standing in his room.

In their hands, they each held a white and a pink lace-trimmed panty.

"Tao Dai, Tao Su, what are you doing?" Luo Chen entered the room, slowly closing the door, his eyes looking at the two cat-girls with a hint of heat.

He hadn't yet studied the physiological structure of cat-girls.

"Oh my! Benefactor! You're just in time! Sister Yujun just gave us two pieces of underwear and told us to wear them, but we can't get this triangular one on. Can you help us?"

Tao Su pouted, holding up the clothes in her hand, and came to Luo Chen with a frustrated expression.

"What's wrong? Tell me why you can't put it on?"

"It's just that the back part presses down on our tails," Tao Dai came to Luo Chen, speaking and demonstrating by trying to put it on.

"That's easy. Leave it to me; I can fix it right away."

Saying that, Luo Chen went behind Tao Dai and made a small slit in the panties, just enough for her tail to fit through and be pulled out.

"That's great! It doesn't pinch my tail at all!" Tao Dai happily wagged her tail.

"Benefactor, can you help me with mine too?" Tao Su looked at Luo Chen expectantly.

Because Luo Chen was quick, she hadn't clearly seen his method.

"Of course, no problem. Give it to me; I'll help you!"
