I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years

Chapter 42: Something went wrong

Chapter 42: Something went wrong

Wang Zhuangyuan was really terrified yesterday.

It wasn’t Wu Chen that he was afraid of, although he knew that Wu Chen was extraordinary, yesterday those subordinates who followed him reported to him that Lu Guangnian and Wu Chen had a private conversation outside the restaurant door alone, he knew that Li Ruobing sent Wu Chen home, and she kissed Wu Chen.

But he didn’t know Wu Chen well, he only knew that Wu Chen was very powerful and resourceful, and he was afraid that he had some background.

What he was afraid of was Li Ruotai.

Wu Chen was able to call him, which had already shocked him greatly, because he immediately thought that the call might be from Li Ruotai, otherwise, how could Wu Chen know his phone number?

One thing he was very afraid of was that Wu Chen would tell Li Ruotai everything about the people he sent to follow him.

Because of this incident, Li Ruobing was involved.

Everyone in Donghai knew how much Li Ruotai defended his sister! Especially people in the underworld knew that if you offend anyone, make sure you didn’t offend Li Ruobing.

This was more terrifying than messing with Li Ruotai.

If you provoked Li Ruotai himself, with Li Ruotai’s personality, he would give you a chance to explain. As long as Li Ruotai had not lost his temper, you kowtowed and admitted your mistake, the matter will pass.

But if Li Ruobing was offended.

Maybe he won’t even have the chance to explain to Li Ruotai.

And yesterday, although Wang Zhuangyuan sent someone to follow Wu Chen because Wu Chen had never been separated from Li Ruobing, they were following Li Ruobing the whole time.

Wu Chen was Li Ruotai’s “brother-in-law”!

It’s a real brother-in-law!

If Li Ruotai knew about this… Wang Zhuangyuan broke into a cold sweat thinking about it. Li Ruotai personally promoted him. He knew Li Ruotai’s methods too well. Wang Zhuangyuan was afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly, and… Li Ruotai would not let him explain.

Last night, Wang Zhuangyuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He picked up the phone many times and wanted to call Wu Chen, wanted to explain to Wu Chen, and then probed Wu Chen’s tone to find out whether Wu Chen had told Li Ruotai.

But in the end, he still didn’t make the call.

Because Wu Chen took the initiative to call him. Before hanging up, he said that he was going to sleep. If he called Wu Chen again, he would definitely make Wu Chen unhappy. At that time, it might not be a big deal, but it would cause a big deal because of this call.

Wang Zhuangyuan went out as soon as the sun was shining.

Go downstairs to Wu Chen’s house.

He didn’t bother to go upstairs. He just waited, waiting for Wu Chen to go downstairs.

—

Wu Chen looked Wang Zhuangyuan up and down. The gentle Wang Zhuangyuan, who was full of gentleness and dominance, looked a lot haggard today. His hair was a bit oily, and he had dark circles under his eyes.

“Mr. Wu, I actually want to explain to you. I’m not…” Wang Zhuangyuan didn’t finish.

Wu Chen raised his hand to signal him to shut up, then turned his head to look at the alley, gestured, and said, “Have you had breakfast? There is a restaurant inside.”

Wu Chen walked further into the alley after speaking.

Wang Zhuangyuan immediately followed Wu Chen’s footsteps.

“I haven’t told him yet, take it easy.” Wu Chen walked and glanced at Wang Zhuangyuan again and said.

He seemed to know what Wang Zhuangyuan was thinking, or what he was afraid of.

Wang Zhuangyuan really relaxed.

Really relieved.

“Are you here alone?” Wu Chen asked casually again.

“They’re all on the street outside. I didn’t let them come over, since you lived here. It’s early in the morning. If there are many people and the neighbors see them, the influence would not be so good.” Wang Zhuangyuan said.

Wu Chen nodded and smiled.

Wang Zhuangyuan was really good at handling things.

The two walked to the very inside of the alley. There were some small shops in this alley, such as convenience stores and fast food restaurants.

Wu Chen took Wang Zhuangyuan into a breakfast shop, it was the kind of dirty small restaurant, and the breakfast was soy milk fried dough sticks buns, pickles, and the like.

Because it was past seven o’clock, the peak time for breakfast had actually passed, and there was only one table of guests in the small restaurant.

Wu Chen nodded casually, then found a seat near the door with Wang Zhuangyuan and sat down.

After Wang Zhuangyuan sat down, he observed the environment of the breakfast shop a few more times.

He hadn’t eaten in such a small restaurant for too many years. Since he got mixed up, all the places he went to and out of were high-end places, and the food he ate was exquisite.

He didn’t expect Wu Chen to come to this kind of place for breakfast.

Of course, he wouldn’t think that Wu Chen was poor because he was just an ordinary person. He would only think that Wu Chen was too low-key!

The buns and fried dough sticks were all ready-made, and the waiter quickly brought them up.

“What do you want from me?” Wu Chen picked up the fried dough sticks, tore them up one by one, and kept throwing them into the soybean milk bowl, asking at the same time.

“Mr. Wu, I have to explain to you. You must have misunderstood. I have no ill intentions toward you. I…” Wang Zhuangyuan began to explain.

Of course, he wouldn’t say what he really thought in his heart. He couldn’t say that following him was to find an opportunity to get close to him deliberately, but there must be a reason.

The reason Wang Zhuangyuan gave was to protect Wu Chen!

In other words, secretly protecting Mr. Li’s brother-in-law.

Maybe it’s because he really couldn’t think of a normal reason, so he found such an awkward person. In fact, the reason was not very important, what was important was Wu Chen’s reaction, Wu Chen’s attitude.

Wu Chen had already started to eat, and listening to Wang Zhuangyuan, he realized that he was really eloquent.

He even made him feel that he was well-founded.

“…You know, those of us who are down there are, to put it mildly, bastards. You and Mr. Li are a family. Although Mr. Li didn’t give orders, we all rely on Mr. Li.”

“Well, are you finished?” Wu Chen nodded plainly and asked Wang Zhuangyuan again.

“Finished.” Wang Zhuangyuan’s complexion was suddenly not right, because Wu Chen didn’t seem to believe what he said, but he didn’t intend to trouble him either.

“You don’t want to eat?” Wu Chen asked Wang Zhuangyuan again.

Wu Chen ordered enough food for two people, but Wang Zhuangyuan never moved.

“Ah, I’ll eat. I’m quite hungry.” Wang Zhuangyuan showed a fairly natural smile, picked up the fried dough sticks, tore them, and put them in the bowl.

In fact, he was not in the habit of eating fritters like this.

But Wu Chen ate like this just now.

“…Last night, there was a violent gang fight on Fuyuan Road in this city. Witnesses took pictures of the incident… The police from the Fuyuan Road Police Station rushed to the scene after the incident, and one of them was seriously injured and sent to the hospital…”

Wu Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at the small TV hanging on the wall of the breakfast hall. The TV was not too loud, and it was on all the time, because the word “Fuyuan Road” was mentioned, which caught Wu Chen’s attention.

The television was showing footage captured by witnesses.

The video was very shaky, but it could still be seen that a man was stripped on the street and beaten by a group of people. He was wearing boxers, which seemed to be dragged from a nearby building.

Wu Chen “knows” this person, that was Hu Xiaowei!

Wang Zhuangyuan followed Wu Chen’s line of sight, glanced at the TV, and was not in the mood to pay attention. He adjusted his glasses, smiled, and said, “Mr. Wu, do you often come to this restaurant?”

“Yes, often.” Wu Chen turned his head, glanced at Wang Zhuangyuan, and continued to eat.

The following breakfast time simply became a time for Wang Zhuangyuan to take the initiative to get close to Wu Chen.

Ask this, ask that, he also recalled himself more than ten years ago, and always came to this small restaurant, saying that he missed it.

Just when the two of them were about to finish eating.

Jingle!

Wu Chen’s cell phone rang.

His mobile phone was placed on the table, and the caller ID: Ruobing.

Wang Zhuangyuan also saw it, he stood up straight away and signaled to Wu Chen that he wanted to go out, but Wu Chen waved his hands to him, signaling that he didn’t need to. There was nothing he couldn’t listen to.

“So early?” Wu Chen picked up the phone and said, “Are you at the company?”

“Not yet. I just got up and am still on the way.” Li Ruobing spoke quickly, with obvious anger in her tone, “Come to the company quickly, something has happened!”
