Chapter 70

On the way back to the dorm, Wang Chuan deliberately walked in circles to see if anyone was following him.

The result was no one—he was definitely being targeted.

The person I offended after my rebirth, who's on the run and looks like a beautiful woman, is You Min; it can't be him, unless he's bold enough to disguise himself as a woman and seduce a man to seek revenge for him.

The likelihood is low—he's probably fleeing everywhere and wouldn't bother tracking my movements.

It can't be from San Yang Village—the Village Head and his thugs have all been arrested; now they're trying to reduce their sentences and won't dare provoke me again.

That leaves only two of Xin Chanxi's classmates: Tang Ao and Cai Yueming.

Both come from business families; Tang Ao's family runs the biggest business and might hire loose thugs from society to teach me a lesson.

That fits Tang Ao's arrogant and bullying attitude back then.

The tail was in his forties, about 1.7 meters tall; if we fought openly with bare hands, unless he knew martial arts, I wouldn't fear him.

Could this man be the one assigned to track my movements, with several loose thugs lying in wait to retaliate?

Suddenly, Wang Chuan realized something was off—he'd taken an alley to Southwest Restaurant during the day; if they had many people, they could've easily blocked him then.

Could it be that this tail is also the one who'll make the final move?

He didn't feel confident during the day, so he plans to strike at night?

He sent a text to Xin Chanxi: "Wang Chuan, lazy pig, are you up yet? I'm coming over to see you later—we'll have dinner together. You start your shift at midnight, right? You've got time?"

Wang Chuan quickly replied to Xin Chanxi, telling her not to come see him tonight.

His excuse: his shift schedule changed—he'd now be working the night shift and an additional day shift.

After dinner, he'd rest early to conserve his strength.

Ding—one text back from Xin Chanxi: "Okay~~~~o(╥﹏╥)o"

Wang Chuan muttered under his breath and slapped his thigh—he had almost forgotten that Lu Na had invited him to dinner; fortunately, Xin Chanxi mentioned the dinner.

He quickly typed a message to Lu Na: "Lu Na, let's have dinner at the hospital canteen. Running around is too much trouble. I'm on night shift plus a day shift."

"Wang Chuan, why are you on night shift plus a day shift?"

Wang Chuan told Lu Na that tonight he and Lin Rui were on duty, and Lin Rui was also a football fan.

Attending physician Zhang Yang and Doctor Wu Qinghua would stay in the Emergency Department rest room and only get up to help if things got too busy.

Tomorrow during the day shift, Wang Chuan and Lin Rui would rest in the Emergency Department rest room; if things got too busy, they'd be woken up to help.

After handing over shifts at four tomorrow, all four of them could leave the hospital and go to Nanshan Blue Fire Bar to watch the game in the evening.

Lu Na replied after reading the message: "Bar Street has good restaurants—can I treat you to dinner tomorrow?"

Wang Chuan thought: tomorrow, four adult men going out—this tail wouldn't dare act. Bar Street is crowded; he wouldn't dare act there either.

All of this was to avoid danger in the short term.

To solve this tailing problem long-term, either the man dies—unlikely in modern society—or Tang Ao's family backs off. If Xin Yisheng learns I'm Xin Chanxi's boyfriend, he'll definitely stand up for me.

'Do I really have to sell my looks?' Wang Chuan couldn't think of a better plan—he'd take it one step at a time.

He touched the surgical blade in his pocket—setting up a legitimate defense wasn't out of the question.

Wang Chuan walked to the first-floor elevator entrance, planning to ask Pei Nanli in Respiratory Medicine how she paid for last night's dinner—he couldn't let Chen Leyan cover it.

Exiting the elevator, he saw Yang Fang and Pei Nanli talking outside Respiratory Medicine.

"How about it? The new Nanshan Blue Fire Bar opens tomorrow night—only those with an invitation card can enter."

"Teacher Yang Fang, I don't really want to go to a bar."

Pei Nanli frowned and refused after hearing Yang Fang's words.

She pictured Hong Kong TV dramas showing bars as dens of gangsters and all kinds of shady characters.

Wang Chuan heard and thought: Yang Fang, you must go to that bar tomorrow—I'll make you eat your words. He walked silently to Pei Nanli's side.

He feigned outrage: "Teacher Yang Fang, why are you inviting Pei Nanli to such a chaotic place? What's your intention?"

Yang Fang saw Wang Chuan and snorted coldly: "Kid, what do you know? Pei Nanli, this bar is a quiet one—just drinks and conversation, not a disco with dance floors."

Seeing Pei Nanli still hesitating, Yang Fang added: "Pei Nanli, you stood me up yesterday."

Pei Nanli glanced at Wang Chuan, who was scratching his head and looking around.

"Fine, Teacher Yang Fang, I'll go. But can I bring a friend?"

Yang Fang noticed Wang Chuan's smirking lips and thought: "Could it be him?"

Pei Nanli glanced at Wang Chuan and said: "No, my two junior classmates—they just finished the college entrance exam. I'll ask them first; they might not want to go."

Originally, Xin Chanxi had said she'd come to the hospital to chat today, but later canceled.

Tomorrow, I'll have her and Chen Leyan go together—first to chat, second so I don't look too ambiguous going alone with Yang Fang.

"Pei Nanli, don't put Teacher Yang Fang in a bind—he can't get extra invitation cards."

Yang Fang was about to refuse, but Wang Chuan goaded him—he replied firmly: "As long as they're over eighteen, if they want to go, tell me—I'll get two more cards from my friend."

Yang Fang was about to refuse, but provoked by Wang Chuan, he stated decisively, "As long as they are eighteen, if they are willing to go, just tell me, and I will ask my friend for two more Invitation Cards."

【51】 Pei Nanli said, "Wang Chuan, I know what you want to do; don't you just want to keep an eye on Teacher Yang Fang and me? Why did you tell me last time to beware of Teacher Yang Fang?"

Yang Fang turned and left. Then Pei Nanli asked Wang Chuan: "Why did you come looking for me?"

"How about you ask Yang Fang to add one more spot—I'd like to check it out too."

Wang Chuan had worked part-time during university, telling people he was a tutor and restaurant waitress—he never mentioned working at a bar; only Li Wei knew.

In 2000, the word "bar" carried negative connotations for most people.

Pei Nanli said: "Wang Chuan, I know what you're up to—you just want to keep an eye on Teacher Yang Fang and me. Why did you warn me to watch out for him last time?"

Pei Nanli said, "Wang Chuan, I know what you're trying to do—aren't you just trying to keep an eye on Teacher Yang Fang and me? Why did you tell me to be on guard against Teacher Yang Fang last time?"

"I'll ask him for you—he won't give you one. Now tell me, why did you really come?"

"Last night at Little Fat Sheep, I left early—how was the bill paid? Who should I give this money to?"

Wang Chuan pulled out a hundred yuan.

Wang Chuan took out one hundred yuan.

Pei Nanli didn't stand on ceremony, taking one hundred yuan. "I treated yesterday, the first meal with my junior sisters. How could I let two junior sisters pay?"

"Didn't you say you were treating? Why are you taking my money again?" Wang Chuan pretended to be slightly angry.

"Did you not understand? Are you my junior sister?"

Wang Chuan muttered under his breath, "Pei Nanli, fine, so stingy."

Tomorrow evening at the Bar, Pei Nanli, just watch how I, Wang Chuan, stage a grand drama.

Suddenly, Wang Chuan saw the four characters "Respiratory Medicine" behind Pei Nanli and remembered someone: Tao Tao, the Director of Respiratory Medicine, had told him there was a suspicious person causing a Medical Disturbance at the Hospital entrance and asked him to call the police.

Chen Donghai's branch bureau would definitely send someone over to take that watcher away for questioning.

At the very beginning, I actually didn't think of this.
