Chapter 70 - Accidental Encounter with a Girl

Watching Chen Yang’s retreating figure, Yang Ruoxi asked, “Cousin, could it be that Chen Yang also cured grandfather’s asthma?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Li Han nodded.

Seeing Li Han nodding, Yang Ruoxi felt slightly surprised inside, she hadn’t expected the person with such medical skills to be Chen Yang.

“Let’s go, the banquet isn’t over yet, let’s head back up,” Li Han said to the thoughtful Yang Ruoxi.

“Yes, yes.”

Pushed by Li Han, Yang Ruoxi abruptly snapped out of her thoughts and suddenly followed Li Han.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Lin Tian Xia, Chen Yang directly drove his electric trike back.

However, when passing through the town, Chen Yang suddenly remembered the poisoning incident involving Xiaoxiao the day before,

“Xiaoxiao’s poisoning might very well be related to Fatty!

Since I’m passing by here today, I might as well take care of this matter,” Chen Yang’s gaze turned cold, and then he turned the vehicle around, driving into the town and arrived at the spot where he had dealt with Fatty previously, the Jun Wei Internet Cafe.

After parking the vehicle across from the Jun Wei Internet Cafe, Chen Yang entered the cafe and immediately located the hidden staircase in the corner, following it upstairs.

“Come on!

Place your bets quickly!

Today I’m going to clean you out!”

“What kind of cards are those?

I’m really speechless.”

The second floor of the internet cafe was a gambling den.

It was noon, so there were many people gambling here, everyone excitedly focusing on the card games, with nobody noticing Chen Yang coming upstairs.

Upon reaching the second floor, Chen Yang immediately scanned all the gambling tables but didn’t see Fatty anywhere.

So, Chen Yang’s gaze directly fixated on the only private room upstairs, and he walked toward it.

Chen Yang pushed the door open and indeed found Fatty inside, jubilantly flanked by women on both sides, his face full of smugness.

Fatty, originally in a state of total comfort being surrounded by women, saw Chen Yang walk in and his face immediately changed.

“Big brother…

how come you’re here?” Fatty said, his face showing terror.

After the last incident, Fatty was completely scared of Chen Yang and didn’t dare to offend him at all.

Looking at the terrified Fatty, Chen Yang bluntly questioned in a cold voice, “Did you mess with Zhang Xueying’s child yesterday?”

“Zhang Xueying’s child?

I didn’t do anything.” Fatty was startled for a moment and then shook his head frantically, his expression not seeming to be lying at all.

But Chen Yang still rushed over and grabbed his neck.

“Are you sure you didn’t touch Zhang Xueying’s child?

I saw your underling eyeing them up.”

As Chen Yang choked him, Fatty’s cheeks began to quickly fill with blood.

“I really…

didn’t, yesterday my underling just passed by and saw them, he asked me if we should make a move, but I didn’t do anything to them,” Fatty said, his face turning red, replying with difficulty.

Seeing Fatty in this state, Chen Yang’s heart wavered slightly.

Because looking at Fatty, it indeed didn’t seem like he was lying.

Therefore, Chen Yang’s grip relaxed a bit, not choking Fatty’s neck too tightly.

Feeling Chen Yang’s grip loosen, Fatty eagerly took deep breaths.

“Yesterday Zhang Xueying’s child was poisoned severely.

Aside from a slight connection with you, they had not offended anyone.

If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be?” Chen Yang asked.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Fatty, with a look of dismay, said, “I don’t know about that!

But I can assure you, I really didn’t lay a finger on them.”

As he spoke, Fatty turned around and yelled at his underlings, who were already shaking with fear, “You guys damn say something, testify for me.”

“Big brother…

Fatty really didn’t make a move yesterday.”

“It really wasn’t us.

You’ve got the wrong people, big brother.”

The underlings uniformly shook their heads, indicating it wasn’t their doing.

The lighting in the room was very dim, but Chen Yang’s eyes were bright, enabling him to see clearly the expressions of everyone and their minute movements.

Looking at Fatty, and his bunch of underlings with innocent faces, Chen Yang somewhat knew that he had misunderstood Fatty.

Since that was the case, Chen Yang didn’t make it difficult for Fatty.

After glancing at them with annoyance, Chen Yang turned around and left the place.

Watching Chen Yang leave, Fatty and the others let out a huge sigh of relief.

Usually, if anyone dared to come to the gambling den and offend them so brazenly, they would become furious, and would surely seek to regain face no matter what.

But the mere thought of Chen Yang’s fierceness prevented any hard feelings; they simply couldn’t hold a grudge nor dared to complain.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, had made sure that Fatty was not the true culprit behind Xiaoxiao’s poisoning, so he left Junwei Internet Café and rode the electric tricycle parked across the street back to his place.

On the way home, Chen Yang’s thoughts were consumed with Xiaoxiao’s situation.

He simply couldn’t remember anyone else who might target Zhang Xueying and her mother.

After pondering for a long time without any conclusion, Chen Yang decided to put it aside and focused on riding the electric tricycle home.

However, just as Chen Yang had driven halfway, he suddenly noticed a slender woman ahead, dragging a suitcase and walking in front.

Recognizing the woman’s silhouette as familiar, Chen Yang immediately revved up the tricycle and sped towards her.

When he pulled up beside the woman and took a side glance, his eyes immediately bulged in surprise.

“Nizi!

What are you doing here?”

No wonder he found the silhouette familiar—the slender woman before him was none other than Nizi, Li Xiaoe’s daughter, whom she was always hoping would come back soon.

“Oh, it’s you, Brother Chen Yang!” Nizi was just as surprised to see Chen Yang.

She had never expected to bump into him here.

“Yeah, I’ve just returned from handling some business in the county.

Why are you walking alone here?” Chen Yang nodded and continued to ask.

As he curiously questioned Nizi, his gaze couldn’t help but sweep over her a few times, thinking to himself that the sister-in-law Li Xiaoe hadn’t lied to him.

Having grown up, Nizi indeed stood tall and graceful with an impressive figure!

Her slender body, ample attributes, and distinctly fine features; she was undeniably a stunning beauty!

Chen Yang barely glanced at her a few times, and his heartbeat had already begun uncontrollably speeding up.

“Brother Chen Yang, I’m on summer break.

I came to town by bus from school, and since our village doesn’t have a bus service, I can only walk home,” Nizi explained with a pout, sounding a bit helpless.

“Oh, I see!

Then hop on, I’ll take you home,” Chen Yang immediately jumped off the tricycle upon hearing this and enthusiastically took Nizi’s suitcase from her hands, loading it onto the vehicle.

Nizi hurriedly smiled and thanked him, “Then thank you, Brother Chen Yang!”

Nizi was quite outgoing, the type of vivacious and sunny girl who was especially captivating when she smiled.

“Thank me for what?

Have you become so formal with your brother after not seeing each other for over a year?” Chen Yang hurriedly chatted her up.

He and Nizi had grown up together, but after they had grown up, they rarely contacted one another.

Having met by chance today, it was natural for Chen Yang to want to reconnect…

Nizi responded with a shy smile and then climbed into the tricycle’s carriage, looking down.

Chen Yang returned to his seat and started the electric tricycle.

On the way back, Chen Yang and Nizi were never quiet.

The two of them began talking about university life, moved on to childhood memories, and then started sharing their recent situations.

“Nizi, you’ve become so beautiful, there must be a lot of people pursuing you at the university, right?” Chen Yang asked somewhat tentatively as he rode along.

Suddenly faced with this topic, even the open-minded Nizi couldn’t help feeling shy.

“There…

there are some,” Nizi admitted with blushing cheeks.

“Then have you gotten a boyfriend?

There must be a lot of students in love at the university.” Chen Yang continued to probe.

“There are many in love at school… but I’m not,” Nizi said softly, almost embarrassed to voice the fact that she was single.

She felt somewhat like an odd one out since most people at university were in relationships, except for her who had never found a boyfriend.

But hearing that Nizi didn’t have a boyfriend, Chen Yang’s eyes immediately lit up.

He thought to himself, she’s still such an innocent young girl.

“Not dating is a good thing; at this stage, you should focus on studying and learn more,” Chen Yang said with a concealed delight while earnestly advising Nizi.

Seeing that Chen Yang not only didn’t find her odd but also agreed with her stance, Nizi immediately felt better.

“You’re right, Brother Chen Yang, dating is too troublesome, and it would distract me from my studies!” Nizi nodded enthusiastically, her face bright with excitement.

“Yes, your studies should be the priority right now,” Chen Yang agreed with a smile, then the electric tricycle entered Liuhé Village.
