Liu Zhen never expected to encounter the situation of not being able to find his ID. After all, he had entered the station with both his ticket and ID.
As the officer's tone became serious and he urged Liu Zhen to produce his ID, Liu Zhen's mind started to go blank.
He wasn't afraid, but he was certainly nervous. After all, as a young person just starting his university life, not being able to find his ID in such a situation felt like walking into an exam room without a pen...
He felt embarrassed and awkward.
"Can't you find it?"
Seeing the tiny beads of sweat on Liu Zhen's forehead, the officer grew even more suspicious – something was off about this guy.
His questioning tone had turned into a rhetorical question, clearly doubting Liu Zhen's identity.
Everyone knew that, at this moment, his suspicion was directed at Li Xuan.
However, the animosity Liu Zhen felt towards Li Xuan had turned into an obsession.
This question, sounding more like a mockery, touched the most sensitive nerve in Liu Zhen.
It also ignited the anger that had been suppressed since the college entrance examination.
At this moment, as Liu Zhen's hand searching for his ID stopped, he looked up with a gaze full of fury at the two officers in front of him and responded with a cold laugh, "Can't you find it?"
"You're asking me if I can find it!?"
"I want to ask, when will you be able to find Li Xuan!?"
"Just relying on checking everyone's ID at this place!?"
"Do you really think you can find Li Xuan like this?"
His tone was filled with sarcasm.
This not only showed Liu Zhen's high evaluation of Li Xuan but also demonstrated his complete lack of trust in the efficiency of the Central Sea Police Department.
Indeed, to Liu Zhen, the exhausted efforts of the Central Sea Police Department appeared superficial.
Patrolling, sealing off transportation hubs... Did they really believe Li Xuan would leave in such an obvious manner!?
What a joke!
However, Liu Zhen didn't consider what other options the police could have taken.
Should they have searched house by house?
For the two officers, Liu Zhen's words touched a nerve in their hearts.
As police officers of the Central Sea City Bureau, they already felt frustrated conducting inspections at the station. Now, Liu Zhen's loud reprimand only fueled their anger.
Initially, they had some doubts when looking at Liu Zhen, but now, his remarks further deepened their suspicions. It was as if Li Xuan himself stood before them, mocking them!
This attitude made the officer who had once been deceived by Li Xuan feel extremely embarrassed. However, maintaining their professionalism, they did not make any unreasonable demands.
"If you can't provide your ID, then you must come with us."
The officer was trying his best to suppress his anger.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhen's expression changed. The possibility of being taken away hit him like a bucket of cold water, instantly calming him down.
His outburst just now was impulsive. Normally, he would never have said such things. However, the words were already spoken and couldn't be taken back.
Liu Zhen stood still, unsure of how to handle the current situation.
He clenched his teeth, but he didn't blame the two officers. Instead, his mind was filled with thoughts of Li Xuan.
He was well aware that if it were Li Xuan in this situation, he would never have reached this point...
Could there really be such a huge gap between him and Li Xuan?
Liu Zhen considered himself a top-notch talent. Although he appeared nonchalant, he couldn't accept that Li Xuan was receiving more attention than he was.
In Liu Zhen's mind, he believed he deserved more recognition than Li Xuan.
At this moment, Liu Zhen was no longer nervous about the inspection. After all, his identity was clean, and no matter how they checked, he would still be Liu Zhen.
In comparison, he became more aware of the disparity between himself and Li Xuan!
Realizing this, he instinctively clenched his fists.
"Since you can't find it, then come with us."
Liu Zhen didn't say much and stood up, following the officers as they left.
Meanwhile, Li Xuan was utterly puzzled.
What's going on!?
Is this a joke?
At this point, the situation had completely exceeded Li Xuan's expectations.
How did it come to this?
No matter how meticulously he planned, human emotions were unpredictable.
People's hearts were sensitive and not everything could unfold according to Li Xuan's designs.
But at this moment, Li Xuan could only watch them leave without even a chance to intervene.
The situation had indeed taken an unexpected turn.
Would this affect his future actions? It was still an unknown.
However, no one cared about the real Li Xuan at this moment. The chaos gradually settled down with the departure of the two officers and Liu Zhen.
Li Xuan looked around with a frown.
He understood that the real world was not like the movies, unexpected things were bound to happen.
Nevertheless, at least for now, the current outcome didn't seem too bad?
Li Xuan adjusted his backpack and walked towards the ticket checkpoint.
As he passed by a trash can, he casually threw Liu Zhen's ID inside.
...
The mastermind behind all this, of course, was Li Xuan.
Originally, Liu Zhen had his ticket and ID together.
However, when Li Xuan exclaimed, "If I were him, I couldn't give up on Huaying," he patted Liu Zhen's shoulder.
With that pat, he subtly took Liu Zhen's ID.
After all, how could Li Xuan simply rely on Liu Zhen for his hopes?
If it was part of the plan, it needed to be done with certainty.
Shifting attention couldn't rely solely on spontaneous reactions. Without the right conditions, he had to create them.
So now, Li Xuan had successfully passed through the ticket checkpoint and boarded the southbound train.
