Chapter 75: Following
Song Yue looked ahead. “Going to the canteen for a meal.”
Lu Huaishen: “Mm.”
Song Yue asked, “Have you and Zhou Ye eaten?”
Before Lu Huaishen could respond, Zhou Ye immediately spoke up, “Not yet.”
A rare chance to spend time together!
Boss, I answered for you first!
Song Yue was secretly delighted—this was a great chance to repay the debt!
She quickly said, “Then I’ll treat you both.”
Zhou Ye was about to accept right away, but Lu Huaishen beat him to it.
“You go ahead first. We have something to take care of. We’ll come over once we’re done.”
With that, Lu Huaishen quickened his pace and walked away.
Zhou Ye was a little confused but still followed the boss.
Song Yue watched their departing figures and could only respond, “Alright.”
…
Zhou Ye caught up with Lu Huaishen. “Boss, what are we doing? We probably can’t get the medicine yet, right?”
“Taking a walk,” Lu Huaishen said, looking ahead. “To avoid gossip.”
Zhou Ye immediately understood.
That group of gossipy village women was still lurking around. If they saw the boss walking with his sister-in-law, who knew what kind of rumors they’d spread?
The boss had always been cautious, afraid of causing trouble for his sister-in-law. That’s why he kept his distance.
If not for his current identity being an issue, he’d probably be hovering around her all the time.
Sigh…
“But…” Zhou Ye sighed, then suddenly realized something. “If we walk around and then head to the canteen, what if they go there too? Won’t we run into them anyway?”
Lu Huaishen glanced at Zhou Ye. “Do you think they’d be willing to spend money at the canteen?”
Zhou Ye: “……”
…
Song Yue walked toward the canteen.
At the alley entrance, a tall and a short man stood, scanning the people passing by.
The tall one spotted Song Yue and froze for a moment. Then, his eyes widened, and he quickly nudged the short one.
“Hey, hey, hey… Look! Look!”
He subtly pointed at Song Yue. “That… that woman!”
After making sure the short guy had seen her, he hurriedly asked,
“Isn’t she the one we saw at the canteen the other day?”
The short man looked confused.
He had seen plenty of women at the canteen. How was he supposed to know which one?
Seeing his reaction, the tall guy knew he hadn’t remembered and quickly added,
“She’s the one who saved the big leader’s kid that day.”
At this, the short guy finally recalled. His tone was uncertain. “Seems like it…”
“We need to be sure,” the tall guy said. “If it’s her, we have to tell the boss. He’s been looking for her these past few days.”
The short guy said, “Let’s see where she goes first.”
“Follow her.”
Without hesitation, the short guy moved, giving an order as he walked. “Keep up.”
The tall guy: “……”
The two began tailing Song Yue.
…
Song Yue sensed something was off.
Was someone following her?
This was a small commune, and it was only her third time here…
Why would anyone be watching her?
Unconvinced, she walked a bit further, but the feeling persisted.
She suddenly turned around, quickly scanning the crowd behind her.
Among them, the tall and short men flinched when she looked their way, immediately turning their backs to her.
Song Yue: “……”
She really was being followed?
She glanced at the two again before continuing toward the canteen.
Whatever their intentions, she’d eat first.
Better to have energy before dealing with them.
She turned and left.
The tall and short men exchanged glances. Seeing her continue walking, the tall one asked nervously, “She didn’t notice us, right?”
The short one shook his head uncertainly. “Doesn’t seem like it.”
Not thinking too much about it, they quickly followed her again.
They trailed her all the way to the canteen.
Once she entered, they stopped outside.
“She went into the canteen again. I’ll keep watch here. You go call the boss over,” the short one instructed.
“Hurry up! If she leaves, we won’t know how to stop her.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll be quick.”
Inside the canteen, Song Yue glanced outside.
The two men were still there, whispering about something across the street.
Then, the tall one ran off.
Song Yue bought a bowl of meat sauce noodles, picked a corner seat, and waited.
Either they’d come to her, or she’d finish eating and go find them herself.
Outside, the short guy kept his eyes on the canteen entrance, worried she might leave.
Not long after, the tall guy returned with a few others, following a stylishly dressed young man who strode over with an air of authority.
The young man looked at the short one. “Where is she?”
“Inside the canteen, boss. Not sure if it’s really her—you’ll have to check.”
“Mm.” The young man nodded. “Come with me.”
He led six lackeys into the canteen.
The moment they entered, the other diners noticed.
Seeing their gang-like demeanor, people quickly lowered their heads, focusing on their food, not daring to make a sound.
The young canteen worker, however, lit up with a grin upon seeing the young man.
Song Yue, focused on eating, suddenly noticed the canteen had gone silent.
Puzzled, she looked up—
And locked eyes with the young man.
The young man instantly recognized her—his target!
At the same time, Song Yue spotted the tall and short men behind him.
Oh.
So they delivered themselves to her doorstep.
She still had a few bites of noodles left—she’d finish eating first.
She lowered her head and continued eating.
The young man was quite pleased with her reaction.
As expected of the woman he had set his sights on—she didn’t even flinch upon seeing him!
He straightened up proudly and led his men forward.
The other diners, sensing something was about to go down, watched with curiosity.
The young man sat across from Song Yue, while his men surrounded the table.
The diners felt sorry for Song Yue, fearing she was in trouble.
Song Yue looked up at the young man, about to warn him that the seat was taken—
But before she could speak, the young man grinned.
“Comrade, do you have a partner?”
Song Yue: “?”
The young man winked. “If not, I’d like to pursue you.”
Song Yue: “?”
Seeing her remain silent, one of his lackeys barked, “What are you spacing out for? The boss is talking to you!”
Song Yue swept her gaze over the seven of them, her tone indifferent.
“I suggest you all step outside, turn right, and head to the clinic for a brain checkup.”
The six lackeys looked confused and turned to their boss. “Boss, what does that mean?”
The young man answered casually, “She’s saying you’re all brain-dead.”
“I—” The lackey who had spoken up was about to curse when he suddenly realized something. “Wait, no, boss.”
“She said ‘you all’—meaning us, including you. She’s saying we’re all brain-dead. Boss, that means you too.”
The young man’s smirk faltered: “……”
Song Yue: “……”
Are these guys actually brainless?
The tall lackey finally reacted. “Boss, she’s insulting us…”
The young man snapped, “Shut up!”
His followers immediately fell silent.
Then, he leaned forward, hands on the table, closing in on Song Yue.
“You’re quite interesting. Whether you have a partner or not, I’m still going to marry you—”
Before he could finish, a shadow approached—
A hand clamped down on the back of his neck.
