With just that one sentence, Ye Nuan knew that the other party had been specially arranged to come.

"What? Your surname is Ye? My surname is Gu! Don't you even bother to find out who my husband is? You dare to come here and try to take advantage of me? You're all tired of living!"

The other side outnumbered them. Even if Ye Nuan was 70% confident she could escape, who knew if these people might have some kind of twisted methods?

Moreover, at this moment, her deliberately arrogant demeanor only made her seem to have a particularly powerful background and be someone not to be trifled with.

Upon hearing this, the people on the other side actually became a bit intimidated.

They looked the girl up and down and thought she was well-dressed, especially her little leather shoes, which cost as much as half a month's salary for an adult in her family. Her little leather bag seemed even more expensive than the shoes.

If that's the case, then the other party must be someone of great importance, so they really can't make a move lightly.

But they also received benefits from others, so they can't just take them for free.

Or did they really mistake one person for another?

Just as I was hesitating, the bus arrived.

Ye Nuan tried her best to look arrogant and fierce, glaring at the other side hatefully and not forgetting to say some harsh words.

"If you've got the guts, just wait and see how my man deals with you!"

By the time the street urchins realized what was happening, the bus had already driven away.

One of the young men, dressed in a sailor shirt, felt intimidated by the other party.

"Brother, I have a feeling she's deliberately trying to trick us!"

"What's the point of saying this now? They've all run away!"

The sailor-shirt-wearing man wasn't too disappointed: "Brother, why don't we go and inquire again? Even if that person was Ye Nuan, she seems to have plenty of money. Let's not risk getting ripped off for a few dozen yuan."

The leader took a deep drag on his cigarette: "Damn it! Let's go, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Didn't she say she works at the hospital? Why is she here blocking our way at this hour tomorrow?"

Ye Nuan was held up by patients in the ward today, which is why she came out late and missed the hospital's rush hour, so there were fewer people on the bus stop at that time.

But whether Ye Nuan will still get off work this late tomorrow is uncertain.

Even after boarding the bus, Ye Nuan was still feeling lingering fear, her heart pounding wildly.

When I got off the bus at the family compound, my legs felt a little weak.

They've all moved into the apartment Gu Hanchuan allocated. Song Huili had already prepared the meal, and Gu Hanchuan had just entered the house. Hearing that Ye Nuan hadn't returned yet, he was about to go to the gate to greet her when he saw her return.

However, Ye Nuan's complexion was not good.

Gu Hanchuan went straight to meet them and locked the door.

"What's wrong? Are you sick? Should we go to the hospital?"

Ye Nuan shook her head: "I'm fine. I'm just a little scared."

After being helped into the house and seated by Gu Hanchuan, Ye Nuan calmed down for a while before explaining the whole story.

"I deliberately said my surname was Gu, and the other party's expression immediately changed. Someone even said, 'Isn't your surname Ye?' I knew they were prepared and must have been hired to deliberately cause me trouble."

"Have you offended anyone at the hospital?"

Ye Nuan shook her head: "I am not the attending physician. I am currently just learning from Director Su. During ward rounds, I am only responsible for carrying out some tasks and I don't speak casually. I haven't even written any prescriptions. It's impossible that I offended anyone in the hospital."

Song Huili frowned: "If you didn't offend the patient, could it be that you offended a colleague?"

Ye Nuan was taken aback. Thinking of Director Zhang, who had caused her trouble before, she felt it was unlikely.

“I get along well with my colleagues, and I haven’t been to other departments. I don’t think even if Director Zhang of the orthopedics department has a problem with me, he would resort to such methods. Although he is eager to make a name for himself, he wouldn’t break the law, would he?”

Gu Hanchuan's face darkened: "It's hard to say. There's still suspicion."

"I'm not particularly busy these days, I'll pick you up after get off work."

"No need, right? I should be fine if I take the bus, since it's a public place. Besides, today was actually an accident. If a patient's family member hadn't asked me for advice, I wouldn't have come out so late."

As soon as she finished speaking, she and Gu Hanchuan froze.

Both of them sensed a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes, but silently chose not to bring it up.

After a moment of silence, Gu Hanchuan insisted, "I'll pick you up and drop you off at get off work from now on. If I don't have time, I'll have Huili pick you up. It's safer for two girls than one."

Ye Nuan did not refuse again; she knew that Gu Hanchuan was doing it for her own good.

For the next few days, everything was peaceful.

Ye Nuan always left work at the normal time and was never bothered by patients' families again.

Gu Hanchuan had a mission to go out of town and his return date was uncertain, so he simply suggested that Song Huili go to and from work with him. Anyway, there was nothing to do at home, so it would be fine for Song Huili to stay at the hospital.

Song Huili herself was happy to go, since it didn't matter where she was. If she went to the hospital, she could at least have someone to talk to.

The five street thugs on the other side also realized they had been tricked. Afterwards, they wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge. From a distance, they saw a man in military uniform following Ye Nuan. For several days in a row, he picked her up and dropped her off, sometimes on a bicycle and sometimes in a jeep.

Now, the street thugs dared not try anything funny with Ye Nuan anymore.

They weren't naive; the man must be of high status, and the fact that he could pick her up and drop her off every day meant that Ye Nuan's background was not simple.

But they had received the money and hadn't taken any action, fearing that the other party would cause them trouble.

The sailor-shirt-wearing guy looked completely unconcerned: "We didn't say anything about how we were going to deal with her! We just said we scared her once on the way and gave her a warning, isn't that enough?"

The eldest brother's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought it was a good idea!

"Anyway, it wasn't anything good that came looking for us, so he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, and that's how it is."

Ye Nuan was unaware that Gu Hanchuan's mere appearance had dispelled the wicked intentions of these street thugs.

However, Song Huili was in a bad mood after calling home that day. Ye Nuan noticed this, but because she was busy, she didn't ask. It wasn't until after get off work, when the two were riding their bikes home, that Ye Nuan asked her if she had been bullied.

"No, my mom said on the phone that she doesn't know why, but someone is deliberately targeting my dad. The job that my dad found for me is probably going to be gone."

Ye Nuan frowned. How could Director Song, with his status, not even be able to keep his daughter's job?

"what happened?"

“I don’t know the specifics, my mom didn’t say. But she reminded me not to go home for the time being, because people from the neighborhood committee have already been to our house.”

These days, the neighborhood committee would also assist the educated youth office in monitoring the situation of each household staying in the city. Only children generally did not need to go to the countryside, but Song Huili had an older brother, which is why she was targeted.

But something doesn't seem right. Why hasn't anyone contacted Song Huili before?

Ye Nuan's heart tightened, unless Director Song's current situation was extremely bad.
