Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 893 Not Chinese at all?

Before long, their meal was ready.

Not long after they arrived to eat, Hu Kan walked over like a ghost. Without saying a word, he sat down in the empty seat, picked up the extra bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.

None of the three, including Chu Xin, said anything, and the atmosphere was inexplicably too harmonious.

No one blamed Hu Kan for carrying out his plan without prior notice.

Hu Kan seemed oblivious to the fact that the three people in front of him had denied knowing him and had abandoned him.

Those who ate first were the first to stop eating. Chu Xin didn't eat much rice or dishes, but slowly drank a bowl of loofah and egg soup.

She spent more time in the northern region, and when she first came to Guangzhou, she couldn't get used to the local cuisine, which was generally light and emphasized the original flavor of the ingredients, with less salt and spice, and mostly steamed, blanched, stewed, and stir-fried dishes.

The only thing I really like is this seasonal vegetable soup, which is refreshing and helps cut through the greasiness. It's incredibly delicious and appetizing in the sweltering summer.

She sipped her soup slowly, while Ge Shaoting and Yang Zheng turned their attention to Hu Kan.

Hu Kan immediately noticed his gaze, but continued eating at his own pace, taking a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables, chewing slowly and carefully.

The atmosphere shifted from harmony to a covert confrontation.

Hu Kan didn't put down his chopsticks until he had finished all the food, and then slowly asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything you want to ask?"

Ge Shaoting smiled, took Hu Kan's bowl, scooped out the last bit of soup from the pot, and placed it in front of him. "Eating only the dry stuff is too dry. Have some soup."

Hu Kan looked up at him, showing no displeasure, and naturally picked up the bowl and finished it in one gulp.

Then he said, "I did that just now to insert the medicine into someone's mouth and... to pass on a message. There are two reasons why I didn't find another time to deliver it secretly at night. First, I will be leaving with you tonight, so I don't have time. Second, they haven't been imprisoned yet. When they were all locked up, they were tied together. Even if I could sneak in, I couldn't avoid everyone and deliver the medicine to them."

The medicine they sent was fever reducer and anti-inflammatory; just enough to keep them from dying.

It turned out to be the case.

Ge Shaoting spoke frankly, "I initially thought you were a disloyal person, coldly watching your companions suffer without doing anything."

Hu Kan: "Actually, being arrested is a kind of luck. You don't have to go hungry, there's no trouble, and you can at least have enough to eat. Prison isn't necessarily a bad place."

Having already learned a bit about him, no one was particularly surprised to hear such seemingly enlightened remarks; in fact, they quite agreed with him.

Ge Shaoting couldn't help but joke, "Then why don't you drop everything and go in to enjoy life?"

Hu Kan paused, then fell silent.

"Is there...something going on? Sigh, it's fine if you don't tell me. I was just being nosy." Although Ge Shaoting was curious, the other person had already said so much, so there was no reason for him to dig deeper into the secret.

Hu Kan lowered his eyes and shook his head. After a while, he looked up at Chu Xin and the other two seriously. His voice was soft but clear. "I am Indonesian. If I am arrested in China, I will be deported back to my country."

Eh? !

Chu Xin and the other two stared in shock, their eyes wide open. They weren't Chinese!

Some coastal residents of Guangzhou may share some similarities with Austronesian people in terms of skin color and facial contours due to geographical proximity and historical ethnic migration and integration. However, they never doubted that Hu Kan was not Chinese.

Looking at his face, which was almost emaciated, Yang Zheng asked, "So that means your sunken eye sockets aren't from hunger. By the way, is your current appearance intentional?"

The purpose is to minimize the appearance of one's physical features.

Hu Kan nodded. Now that they had started, there was no point in hiding anything.

"I was originally a wanderer who traveled along the borders of many countries' seas and made a living by smuggling. Later, I was hunted down because of some things. Su Zihang saved me, taught me to speak Chinese, and even helped me get a fake Chinese identity."

From then on, I stayed here to handle his affairs on land, and also to avoid certain people.
