The hot and suffocating sun scorched the endless wilderness as the trees and grass gently swayed in the wind. There seemed to be only two colors between the heavens and the earth, which was the light blue above their heads as well as the lush green under their feet.

A train approached from behind the distant mountains, its dull roar breaking the silence of the wilderness.

This was the second day of the task force's trip to Myanmar.

After arriving in Yangon, the capital of Myanmar yesterday, the officials from China and Myanmar gathered to meet each other.

The aim of the Chinese was not only to arrest Brother Lu, but also the entire cross-border criminal group headed by her. Thus, the task force had taken a train today to head to Kachin State, where they suspected Brother Lu's criminal group was hiding in.

Kachin State was similar to a province in China due to the fact that the local army there was armed and independent.

Therefore, in addition to two police officers, the Burmese authorities had also sent a senior officer to Kachin State to escort them. The senior officer soon arranged for two battalions of soldiers to escort the task force on the roads.

The train left at noon and was expected to arrive the next morning, and everything went very smoothly on the way there.

Before long, night fell and only the sound of the train chugging through the fields could be heard. Lights occasionally began to flash past them signaling that they had arrived at the countryside of Kachin State.

The task force consisted of eight men and two women. The other female officer was a 35-year-old woman from the Public Security Bureau named Chen Yalin who was mainly in charge of liaising with the Burmese side.

The two ladies stayed in the same carriage on the train and as soon as the sky turned dark, Chen Yalin cleaned up and went to bed. Lisa read a book for a while then she left the carriage and walked towards the bathroom with a towel as well as a toothbrush in hand.

The door of the carriage next to hers was open and the lights inside were bright. The sound of the men chatting inside was loud and distinct and Lisa craned her neck to look inside as she walked past. She saw Jungkook sitting on the bottom bunk while facing the door. He raised his head and looked at her when he heard the movement outside, then he continued to chat with the others.

There was no one else in the bathroom. Right after Lisa finished brushing her teeth, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. She looked in the reflection of the mirror and quickly saw Jungkook appear with toiletries in hand and a cheeky smile on his face.

The two of them did not have the chance to be alone and did not get to talk much ever since boarding the plane. After looking at each other for a moment, Lisa went back to washing her face. "Third brother, you don't need anyone to accompany you tonight, right?"

Her tone sounded very normal, but the corners of Jungkook's lips curled up slightly. He smiled at her then said in a hushed voice, "Lisa, I didn't do anything yesterday."

Lisa was a little embarrassed.

She could openly talk to her brother about having sex but she was lost for words when it came to him. Everytime Jungkook said something obscure, it would make her feel uncomfortable.

Brother was right, a woman heart is ' indeed with her husband.' She thought to herself.

"Why did you decide to come?" She quickly changed the topic because she knew that he was initially not supposed to come as the station chief had made the announcement.
