Chapter 16 Could It Really Be a Coincidence?

Chen Feng was completely dumbfounded at this moment. He really didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence to run into them at the hotel.

“Why are you following me? Did someone send you? If you tell me, I won’t call the police. Otherwise, I’ll have to.”

The woman in sunglasses threatened from behind Sister E.

“I’m staying at this hotel, 5032. And I arrived here before you, took a shower, and changed my clothes. Does that count as following?”

It was indeed a coincidence, so Chen Feng still explained. Then, he ignored them, walked past them, and left.

Watching Chen Feng walk away, the two women finally relaxed.

The woman in sunglasses, Zhang Jingwen, gently patted her chest and asked, “Sister E, should we call the police to arrest him?”

Wang Yue’e frowned slightly and said, “It should be a coincidence. You might have misunderstood him.”

“Sister E, in the past half a day, no, within more than an hour, I’ve run into him three times in different places. First on the plane, he deliberately bumped my back to get my attention. Then he followed me and had that taxi driver hit our car. Now, we’ve run into him here again. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? He must be following me.”

Wang Yue’e shook her head and said, “On the plane, it should have been an accident. The rear-end collision had even less to do with him. That driver is a local from Beijing, and this person staying at a hotel is definitely not a local. They shouldn’t have any connection. Besides, the rear-end collision happened because a wildcat suddenly ran out onto the road, causing me to brake hard. It couldn’t have been premeditated. The hotel is even more of a coincidence. I had Xiao Liu book this hotel. How could he possibly find out that you were going to stay here?”

“Impossible, right? Could it really be a coincidence?” Zhang Jingwen was still skeptical. “He might be deliberately trying to get to know me, trying to create opportunities to pursue me, to trick me, to scam me for money and sex. Do you think that’s possible?”

Wang Yue’e rolled her eyes and said, “Look at how fat he is, and he looks to be in his thirties. How is that possible? I don’t think he intended to get to know you at all. How could he trick you? Scamming you for money and sex is even more impossible. You’re not that stupid.”

Zhang Jingwen nodded in deep agreement, “That’s true. I’m not that stupid. The person who wants to trick me hasn’t been born yet.”

Wang Yue’e resisted the urge to roll her eyes again, said “Let’s go,” and led the way.

It was really a coincidence. Their room number was 5031, right across from Chen Feng’s room.

Seeing this room number and thinking of the room number Chen Feng had mentioned earlier, Zhang Jingwen became uneasy again, “Sister E, you heard him just now. He said he’s staying in 5032, right across from us. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?” Wang Yue’e’s previous deduction was also shaken, but she still shook her head and said, “Impossible. I can tell at a glance that this person doesn’t look like a bad guy.”

Zhang Jingwen pouted, “Bad guys don’t have the words ‘bad guy’ written on their faces. We should still be careful. Tomorrow, you can have the company send two reliable bodyguards for me.”

Wang Yue’e smiled bitterly, “If you do that, people will say you’re putting on airs again.”

Zhang Jingwen said unhappily, “So what if I am? If they have the ability, they can learn from me. All they know is how to gossip behind people’s backs, trash.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll contact the company tomorrow. But you’re only staying here for one day and going back tomorrow. Is it necessary?”

“Safety first.”

“Alright.”

…

Chen Feng found the buffet and had a wonderful meal. After eating, he really felt it was worth it. Not to mention anything else, he ate almost a pound of salmon and drank a large bottle of good champagne that would cost over a hundred on the market. He also ate a lot of other seafood like scallops, prawns, and abalone.

Cherries were also available for the taking. Just eating these few things to his heart’s content was definitely worth the money.

Back in his room, he lay on the bed, bored, and watched TV for a while, then started scrolling through his phone.

He had been very decadent and a bit withdrawn in the past two years, and he basically had no friends to contact. He also rarely posted on his Moments.

He didn’t play games either, just loved to read web novels and watch short videos.

Just as he started watching short videos, he heard a ding. Someone had actually sent him a WeChat message.

He exited the short video and opened WeChat. It was from the wild girl, Qin Xiaorou.

[How come you never contact me? As a man, are you really okay with us girls taking the initiative to contact you?]

Chen Feng felt a headache coming on just looking at this wild girl. He didn’t want to bother with her and pretended he didn’t see it.

He continued to watch short videos. A few minutes later, there was another ding. Chen Feng ignored it, and then soon there was another ding.

Chen Feng had no choice but to open WeChat again.

[Are you not there?]

[I know you’re there. It’s been so long, I don’t believe you haven’t looked at your phone. Reply to me quickly, or I’ll get angry (ˋ＾ˊ)]

Seeing this, Chen Feng had to reply:

[I was just taking a shower. What’s up?]

[Your excuse is so lame. Can’t I look for you if I have nothing to do?]

It was indeed the wild girl’s bad temper.

Chen Feng felt a headache coming on: [I have to put my daughter to sleep. If there’s nothing, let’s talk next time.]

[You have a daughter?]

[Yes, she’s three years old.]

After a while, she replied: [Alright, go put your daughter to sleep.]

Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled slightly. He didn’t feel bad about lying to this wild girl. This wild girl’s temper was too explosive, and he wasn’t her father. He really didn’t have the time to chat with her.

Next, Chen Feng comfortably watched short videos until eleven o’clock without any WeChat harassment, then went to sleep and slept until dawn.

He set the alarm for six o’clock, got up, and went to the hotel restaurant for a free and very sumptuous breakfast.

After breakfast, he took a car to Shuangyun Hospital. He easily found a scalper at the hospital entrance and bought the specialist appointment he wanted. He waited in line, went through various examinations, and then, not surprisingly, the medical equipment at this hospital was also very likely faulty.

Holding the brain tumor diagnosis report, Chen Feng once again received a death sentence from a specialist, successfully became depressed, and left in a hurry.

This damn hospital! I’m never coming back again.

Chen Feng casually got into a taxi at the entrance and said to the driver, “Just drive around.”

The driver happily replied, “Alright,” and began to drive around the city cheerfully, and not slowly. The purpose was, of course, to make more money.

Chen Feng closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat, his mind empty, letting his thoughts drift.

The diagnosis from Shuangyun Hospital had completely shattered Chen Feng’s侥幸心理 (lucky mentality).

The terminal illness was a sure thing. In the little time he had left, Chen Feng decided to go back to his hometown first.

After all, his parents were still alive, and he hadn’t been back for the past two years during the holidays, which was truly unfilial.

If he were to go, his parents would definitely be sad. Fortunately, he had an older brother who could see them off in the future.

Just as he was thinking about these things, he heard the taxi driver shout “Holy crap,” followed by a bang, and the car body shook.

Damn it, another rear-end collision!?

Where’s my good luck? Did it run out after I sold the goat bezoar?
