Chapter 22: The Encounter Begins
The train sped through the tunnel, and the sudden change in air pressure made everyone's eardrums slightly uncomfortable. Although this didn't affect Li Xuan much, he unexpectedly failed to notice someone approaching from behind.
"That watch... I'm giving it to you."
Though the tone was calm, it sent a chilling sensation through Li Xuan's heart. In an instant, his hair stood on end, and he became intensely alert.
Li Xuan sensed danger, not knowing the intentions of the person behind him. He felt a sense of imminent threat, his mind flooded with caution.
Li Xuan cautiously inquired, "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am."
Wang Hua pulled out the stool behind Li Xuan and took a seat.
"You're quite skilled."
"Where did you learn?"
Li Xuan immediately realized that this unexpected person was likely an accomplice of the thief who tried to steal from him. The question about learning referred to the art of theft.
"Self-taught."
