Chapter 747: Is It Really Him?
"Which floor is your friend on, and why are you using the stairs?"
Zeng Xiaomei had no idea that not far away, someone had already thought about persuading her. Her gaze shifted to Xiao Yi, still standing at the entrance of the corridor, and she frowned once more.
"Well... my friend is on the second floor. I’ve already seen him. I left something behind when I was leaving, so I’m just going up to grab it and then I’ll be off."
A surge of panic shot through Xiao Yi’s heart, but fortunately, he was quick to react and hurriedly replied.
"Oh, I see. Then you better hurry."
Zeng Xiaomei had believed Xiao Yi’s words and didn’t think much of it, simply nodding her head.
"Alright, goodbye Officer Zeng."
If only it could be goodbye forever!
Xiao Yi silently added in his heart. He turned around and walked into the corridor, not daring to delay any further. He quickly rushed upstairs, fearing that Zeng Xiaomei might turn around and suddenly call out to him again, ask more questions, and then discover something.
In fact, his concerns were completely unnecessary. After watching him leave, Zeng Xiaomei immediately turned the other way and headed towards the elevator. At this moment, Zeng Xiaomei’s mind was not on him at all; as she turned her head, her focus had already shifted back to a case she was facing.
It was a murder case without any clues left by the killer. The victim was currently being resuscitated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Z University in G City, but so far, there was no sign of them being out of danger. Her main reason for coming today was to assess the situation.
She hoped that the person could be saved. If they could regain consciousness, solving the case would become much easier.
Zeng Xiaomei heaved a silent sigh and prayed quietly in her heart.
"Ring, ring..."
Just as her prayer ended, her phone rang. She quickly took it out, glanced at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button. Her expression grew serious as she spoke in a subdued tone.
Doctor Niu, who was standing in front of Zeng Xiaomei, initially wanted to speak, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw her answering the phone. He reluctantly swallowed back the words he had wanted to say out of concern.
Until the elevator arrived, Zeng Xiaomei had not finished her phone call, and Doctor Niu had no choice but to shake his head in resignation, turn around, and enter the elevator.
Forget it, it’s their business after all; there’s no need to worry too much. Presumably, with Doctor Xiao’s intelligence, he should be able to handle things without my interference. As for this young lady, judging by her appearance, she seems quite good. Standing next to Doctor Xiao, they make a perfect match, a couple well-matched in talent and beauty. However, whether she can grasp such a good man as Doctor Xiao depends on her fortune.
Even as he stepped out of the elevator, Zeng Xiaomei was still speaking softly on the phone, and Doctor Niu had not found the opportunity to chat with her. He could only offer a wry smile and depart from the elevator, heading towards his office.

Whistling...
It seems I’ve narrowly avoided yet another predicament. It really feels like I should keep things quiet from now on. Is G City not as big as I thought? Despite being an international metropolis, why does it feel like the chances of running into her are so high?
After leaving the First Affiliated Hospital of University Z, Xiao Yi let out a deep sigh and turned to glance back at the hospital, unable to help a wry smile.
There was no rush to return, so Xiao Yi didn’t opt for another taxi. Instead, he stopped a bus at the roadside bus stop that was en route to Azure Waterfront and got on.
Perhaps it was the time of day, or because the starting station wasn’t far off, but the bus Xiao Yi boarded wasn’t as crammed as usual. There were quite a few vacant seats throughout.
Xiao Yi picked a seat by the window and sat down. His gaze didn’t close to rest as before but instead observed with curiosity the rapidly receding scenery outside the window.
In truth, Xiao Yi had been in G City for some time now, but his understanding of the city was still very superficial. In the past, whenever he went out, he seldom paid attention to the scenery outside the window, more often just hurrying towards his destination.
This is a city of miracles...
This is a city where everything moves at breakneck speed...
Looking at the towering buildings visible everywhere outside the window, as well as the ubiquitous construction sites potentially giving rise to new skyscrapers, Xiao Yi’s mind suddenly recalled a description of the city he had read somewhere before. Remembering various legends about the city, his eyes couldn’t help revealing a hint of admiration.
Having been in G City for so long, this southern metropolis and its people had indeed brought many significant impressions to him.
This city was different from the others he had visited. Its people seemed to always lack a sense of security, whether wealthy or poor, all filled with anxiety. However, this anxiety didn’t bring about negative effects but instead inspired everyone to work even harder, to find a sense of tranquility in their labor.
In this city, ’work’ is a peculiar cultural element. Everyone must have a ’work’ as if having it and following the city’s fast pace, getting up early for work, staying late at the office, makes one feel normal.
In this city, people won’t look down on you if you lack talents, but if you are lazy and not diligent, you will undoubtedly be scorned!
A small change every year, a big change every three—that must be due to so many hardworking people contributing to these miracles.
Looking at a construction site ahead, where workers, stripped to the waist, their skin burnt black by the sun, were toiling away earnestly on tall and perilous scaffolding, Xiao Yi sighed once again at the sight.
After mulling over some trivial, boring matters, Xiao Yi shook his head, preparing to withdraw his gaze and rest his eyes.
But just as his gaze was about to retract, suddenly, a familiar figure ahead caught his attention.
Seeing the figure in front of him, Xiao Yi’s expression froze, and it took a moment for him to snap back to reality. He quickly turned his head again towards that direction, trying to get another clear look at the figure.
Unfortunately, the bus was moving at a speed of forty to fifty kilometers per hour, not particularly fast but fast enough that in just that brief moment of distraction, the bus had already traveled several hundred to a thousand meters. No matter how hard Xiao Yi tried, he could no longer see the figure from before.
Almost instantly, without a moment’s hesitation, Xiao Yi shouted to the driver, "Driver, I’m getting off at the next stop!"
Having said that, he stood up and walked to the back door of the bus, his gaze filled with anxiety as he glanced repeatedly in the direction they had come from. (To be continued.
