Chapter 1763: If It Wasn’t Shen Zhilie, Who Could It Be
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was a sleepless night.
Perhaps because Ye Qianqian had slept too much during the day or increasingly felt something was amiss, she could not seem to fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned in bed.
The next day…
Fang Tongtong woke up early. When Ye Qianqian saw her putting on shoes in the entryway, she asked, “Heading out?”
“Yup!” Fang Tongtong seemed to be in high spirits. She was evening humming a tune.
When Ye Qianqian saw Fang Tongtong’s behavior, she casually asked as she hung clothes out to dry, “Which hospital does your boyfriend work at?”
“Um…” Fang Tongtong was taken aback. A pang of guilt seized her heart for a moment before she replied with a laugh, “He’s not really working in a big hospital.”
“Does he work at a corporate ent.i.ty?”
“Not really…”
“What’s his name?”
Fang Tongtong was at a loss for words and thought, I can’t possibly tell her that it’s Huxin Hospital?
She suddenly recalled the name of a hospital that she had subconsciously committed to memory. She said, “Fangqi Hospital.”
“Sh*t, that is a first-cla.s.s, grade a hospital! How could you say that it’s just a small hospital?”
Fang Tongtong became a little embarra.s.sed. With a dry laugh, she said, “Hah… I’m not too sure. I’ll be leaving now.”
“Wait for me. I’m also done and heading to work. Let’s head out together.”
After Ye Qianqian finished airing the laundry, she walked back to her room to retrieve her bag. She slipped on her shoes and walked over to Fang Tongtong’s room.
Fang Tongtong glanced at the time. The expression on her face was difficult to read.
“Let’s go.”
The two of them took the elevator down. Since the bus stop was situated at the entrance of their neighborhood, Ye Qianqian walked toward it and waved her hands at Fang Tongtong. “I’m heading off to work!”
Fang Tongtong nodded her head and waved back before she hailed a cab.
Fangqi Hospital was in the opposite direction from the bus stop. Since it was not far away from there, a trip on foot would only take around 10 minutes or so.
Ye Qianqian watched the cab. She realized that the cab, which was initially moving forward, had intentionally made a U-turn and begun to move in the opposite direction.
Ye Qianqian frowned.
“Fang Tongtong lied to me.”
The sense of bafflement, which had tormented her for the entire night, instantly blew up.
When Ye Qianqian saw an empty cab drive toward her from afar, she flagged it down. Pointing at Fang Tongtong’s cab, she said, “Follow that cab.”
The driver gave Ye Qianqian an odd look, but he quickly started the car without further ado.
It was morning rush hour, so many cars came and went.
Ye Qianqian dropped a text message to her manager to take the day off. After much trouble, her leave was finally approved.
Fang Tongtong’s car traveled further and further away. After approximately 20 minutes, it finally came to a stop.
Huxin Hospital…
Ye Qianqian stopped. The sense of crisis that lurked in her heart instantly rose to the surface.
But it was quickly suppressed again.
No, no.
It’s just a coincidence.
Ye Qianqian refused to be misled by fallacies. After she paid for her cab fares, she followed Fang Tongtong.
Fang Tongtong bought breakfast at the entrance of the hospital. Judging from how she interacted with the hospital staff, she seemed to be well-acquainted with them. Many of them greeted her on her way in.
“Fang, you’re here again? I think Brother Shen is still asleep.”
“You’re always so early every day. Brother Shen is so fortunate!”
…
Ye Qianqian felt as if her heart was smothered by a huge hand. It felt so stifling that she found it hard to breathe.
“Brother Shen… If Brother Shen isn’t Shen Zhilie, who could it be?”
The unshakable trust Ye Qianqian originally had for Shen Zhilie was instantly brought forth to the spotlight. She felt as though it was questioning her, “Do you still trust him?”
Fang Tongtong had made her way to a ward. Ye Qianqian tailed after her while dodging to avoid being seen.
Fortunately, there were quite a few people around. It was not too obvious that Ye Qianqian was following Fang Tongtong.
Fang Tongtong opened the door to a room and entered without qualms. “Morning!”
