Chapter 543: It Was Him

Ling Yun held the envelope in his hand, puzzled.

“Why?” he asked patiently.

He worked here, and it seemed like both Xu Bingyan and Yanzi recognized him from their expressions. Yanzi was still holding on to him. That made Ling Yun think that there shouldn’t have been any animosity between Xu Bingyan and him.

Ling Yun was right. There wasn’t any animosity between them. In fact, they had a very good relationship.

So good that it was almost romantic.

The change happened after March 27th. Xu Bingyan was pissed off that Ling Yun stopped showing up altogether without giving her notice.

I only asked you to come over to my house to help me reinstall the system. Did you really have to hide from me for two months?

Shouldn’t you give me some notice even if you stopped coming in preparation for your college entrance examinations?

How could you be so scared that you didn’t even want your salary for March? I even had to find you at your school!

Xu Bingyan couldn’t find Ling Yun even after the tough decision to look for him at his school. She realized that Ling Yun hadn’t been in class for a long time then!

That led Xu Bingyan to think that Ling Yun was deliberately hiding from her. That put a dent in her self-esteem.

That was the reason for her cold attitude now that they had reunited.

“No reason. Our internet cafe is too small to afford someone like you. Quickly go now that we’ve settled our feud,” Xu Bingyan retorted angrily.

Ling Yun was innocent. He only knew Ning Lingyu and Qin Qiuyue after the accident. He reestablished all his connections since he forgot everyone he knew. That was why he was the most awkward when he met someone he should have known but didn’t remember.

Ling Yun didn’t want to loiter around for too long. He didn’t want to deliberately please Xu Bingyan since she wasn’t thrilled to see him. “Alright, I’ll take the money, and I’ll go, but not before I see the footage from March.”

Xu Bingyan felt anger rising from within when she saw how Ling Yun pocketed the money without another word. “Why do you want to see the footage from March? It has probably been deleted since it was two months ago.”

Ling Yun felt that this thirty-year-old woman was being childish at the moment. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Let me take a look, please?”

“What do you want to view it for?” Xu Bingyan asked, biting her lips.

“It’s very important to me and a matter of life and death!” Ling Yun replied.

Xu Bingyan’s fair face suddenly flushed with anxiety when she heard that it concerned Ling Yun’s life. “Yanzi, check if there is any footage from March left!”

Yanzi giggled. She pulled Ling Yun towards the counter and got Ling Yun to take a seat. Yanzi placed her head on Ling Yun’s shoulder and whispered, “Ling Yun, don’t blame Big Sister Xu. You disappeared for two whole months. She was so worried about you!”

Ling Yun was a little shocked. He looked up at the nervous Xu Bingyan and thought back to what he used to look like. How did this pair come about?

He instantly dismissed Yanzi’s comments.

Xu Bingyan was looking at the monitor fervently when she felt the hot gaze on her. “What are you looking at? Finish your stuff!”

Xu Bingyan wasn’t friendly to Ling Yun, but she didn’t dare to look into his eyes. The current Ling Yun was really too charming.

Ling Yun returned his gaze to the monitor. He asked for Yanzi’s help since he was a rookie.

“Yanzi, please check and see if the footage from March is still available.”

Yanzi naturally obliged when such a handsome guy asked for a favor. It didn’t seem to bother her that Ling Yun didn’t check it himself.

Ling Yun was in luck. They had two whole months of footage still stored on the computer.

“Which day do you want to see?” Yanzi asked

“Let’s begin with March 27th…” Ling Yun stared coldly at the scene.

Xu Bingyan’s heart jumped when she heard the date. She gave Ling Yun a strange look and started staring at the screen as well.

Ling Yun detected his old “self” in the little box. Gosh, was this fatass really him?

Xu Bingyan and Yanzi turned and looked at the current Ling Yun. Ling Yun’s transformation was too amazing. No one would believe that they were one and the same.

“Ah… isn’t this the guy that just came in with you?” Yanzi exclaimed.

Ling Yun swept his surroundings after seeing Li Gang appear on the screen. He soon noticed the two suspicious people mentioned by Li Gang.

There was no doubt about it. One of them was strong and was in a suit with cropped hair. He looked like a bodyguard.

Ling Yun actually recognized the other person!

It was the day that Ling Yun went to Xue Meining’s home. They went shopping on the pedestrian street and witnessed the accident caused by Sun Xing. Xue Meining couldn’t leave the injured.

It was then that Ling Yun felt a prick of anxiety, a sense of danger. He turned back and saw this middle-aged man not far away from him.

It was him… Ling Yun was hit with sudden realization.

He etched both of their faces in his heart so that he could recognize them wherever he was. “Yanzi, can you download the footage for me?”

Yanzi pointed her chin towards Xu Bingyan. That depended on the lady boss since she was still angry with Ling Yun.

“Give him all the footage he needs, take it as a disk cleanup…” Xu Bingyan didn’t hesitate.

She might be angry with Ling Yun, but that didn’t change anything for issues of importance. Xu Bingyan wasn’t one to drag matters out.

“Thank you, Big Sister Xu, I only need the footage for the last few days of March.”

Ling Yun wanted the footage for two reasons. One of the reasons was for evidential purposes. The other was to determine how long he was being watched.

“Yanzi, thank you for your help today. I’ll treat you to a meal one of these days!” Ling Yun got up when things were settled and smiled towards Yanzi.

“Idiot, I’m not the one helping you, it’s Big Sister Xu. Why are you treating me?” Yanzi smiled pointedly.

“Of course, of course. I’ll treat both of you. I’ll treat you wherever you want after the grand opening of my clinic!” Ling Yun understood the hint immediately.

“Grand opening of your clinic? What clinic?” Xu Bingyan blurted out.

“Clinic? What clinic?” Yanzi cried out at the same time.

It seems that my name is still not prominent enough.

“The Ordinary People’s Clinic, a clinic where I treat people and save lives. It’s at the intersection of Qingxi Road and Gufeng Road. You can look for me there if you are unwell!” Ling Yun replied.

“You really opened your own clinic?” Both Xu Bingyan and Yanzi asked at the same time.

Both of them were considered Ling Yun’s good friends in the past. They knew this was his dream.

To open his own clinic like his mother, to treat others, and to think of a way to cure himself.

“We’re opening on the 20th. You can introduce me if anyone needs…” Ling Yun advertised.

“Ooi, you haven’t been active on QQ. How do I contact you?” Yanzi couldn’t help but ask for his contact information seeing that he was about to leave.

Ling Yun didn’t know about him having a QQ account. Fortunately, he still had his phone number. He gave Yanzi his phone number ending with six nines. She didn’t believe it until she called the number and her mobile number really appeared on his screen.

“I’m heading off. Contact me by phone if you need anything… Bye…”

Ling Yun left the internet cafe without saying another word to Xu Bingyan and drove off in his Land Rover.

“Big Sister Xu… Big Sister Xu… Big Sister Xu!”

Xu Bingyan watched Ling Yun going out the door. Yanzi called her thrice before she finally turned towards her.

“I’m not deaf, there’s no need to shout so loud!” Xu Bingyan chided Yanzi.

“Did you really hear me? You didn’t respond…” Yanzi smiled.

Xu Bingyan snorted and didn’t reply.

“Big Sister Xu, I didn’t expect Ling Yun to become so handsome. Dashing!”

Yanzi sneaked a peek at Xu Bingyan and deliberately tested her.

“Heng, what has that got to do with us? He’s now driving a Land Rover. He probably doesn’t care about our internet cafe any more!” Xu Bingyan sighed audibly.
