Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Before Su Fengnan could answer, her cell phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

She took it out and saw that familiar name displayed on the screen. Su Fengnan pressed the answer button and softly said as she walked out of the examination room, "Hello, Brother Zhou..."

As Su Fengnan left, the air in the examination room seemed to grow colder. Jiang Shaoqing crossed her arms, her gaze fixed intently on Sun Zile. Her intuition told her that this boy's feelings for Su Fengnan were definitely not innocent. However, she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, a hint of amusement arose in her heart—she wanted to see how Zhou Chenyu would react if he knew that someone else was eyeing his person.

In the corridor, Su Fengnan was trying to explain what had just happened to Zhou Chenyu in a relaxed tone. She spoke casually, as if she had only encountered a minor trouble, but Zhou Chenyu on the other end of the phone felt a wave of fear after hearing it and said anxiously that she had to rush back to Zijiang immediately.

"Brother Zhou, I'm really fine now. You don't need to come back. Don't let it interfere with your work," Su Fengnan quickly reassured him.

"Nan'er, hurry home after you're done at the hospital. I'll be there soon."

"Brother Zhou, really, there's no need..." Before Su Fengnan could finish speaking, she heard Zhou Chenyu's unquestionable voice from the other end of the phone: "Nan'er, stay home and wait for me obediently."

In fact, Zhou Chenyu has been extremely busy these past few days. He's about to secure the development rights for the Zijiang land, which is a crucial moment; he can only grit his teeth and bear the pressure from Director Liang; there's also the preparation and arrangement of the study room, the newly established internet company, and the woman specially sent from Kyoto for him to take care of... one thing after another, all of them are thorny matters waiting for him to handle.

Even so, upon hearing that Su Fengnan had an accident, Zhou Chenyu immediately put aside his complicated affairs in Zhucheng and drove straight to Zijiang.

After Su Fengnan finished her phone call and returned to the examination room, before she could even speak, Jiang Shaoqing said with concern, "Su, you should go back and rest. You've had a long day, and you were just mentally exhausted. Go back and get a good night's sleep; you have class tomorrow."

Sun Zile wanted to find another excuse to stop Su Fengnan, but after hearing Jiang Shaoqing's words, he couldn't bear to waste any more of her time, so he had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Yes, Su Fengnan, you should go back now. I'm fine now, I'll talk to you again tomorrow. I really have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that both of them said so, Su Fengnan didn't stand on ceremony. She was indeed exhausted, so she readily agreed, "Okay, then I'll go back first. Please let Dr. Jiang know the details after Sun Zile's examination."

"I'm fine now..." Sun Zile interjected sheepishly.

"Alright, hurry back," Jiang Shaoqing urged with a smile.

Su Fengnan glanced at Sun Zile, thanked Jiang Shaoqing, and then turned and left the hospital.

In a corner of the bar, two thugs were nervously reporting the news of their mission failure to Gu west.

Upon hearing that the mission had failed, Gu Xi's originally bright and beautiful face instantly turned furious and ferocious. She swung her hand violently, knocking over all the drinks on the low table in front of her. The sound of shattering glass and splashing liquor terrified the two thugs, who didn't dare to breathe.

"Hmph... She looks so delicate and weak, but she's actually quite difficult to deal with!" Gu west sneered through gritted teeth. "Next time, bring more people! I don't believe she can escape!"

The reason these men were so obedient to Gu Xi was naturally because her father was a former second-in-command in the underworld. Although her father had begun to gradually clean up his act two years ago and switch to legitimate businesses, no longer involved in those shady industries, the network of relationships and connections he had built up over the years remained. These low-level henchmen knew whose daughter she was, so they naturally gave her some respect.

One of the underlings asked timidly, "Sister Xi, when will you make your move next time? I'd like to call for reinforcements in advance."

"Let's wait a few days. She'll definitely be on guard then."

Gu west glanced casually at his two underlings, then tossed a wad of hundred-yuan bills from his bag: "Take this and have a drink. Also, take the injured brother to see a doctor. I won't blame you this time. Remember to bring more people next time."

"Thank you, Sister west!" The two thugs accepted the money with profuse thanks and then hurriedly retreated.

Su Fengnan returned home, took a quick shower, and then curled up on the sofa, watching TV absentmindedly while waiting for Zhou Chenyu.

The name "Sister Xi" mentioned by the thugs kept echoing in her mind. Who exactly was she? She had to find someone to investigate thoroughly. Su Fengnan asked herself if she had ever offended anyone, so why would someone be so ruthless towards her? She was skilled enough to protect herself, but what if they set their sights on her younger sister? The more Su Fengnan thought about the potential danger to her sister, the more frightened she became.

Suddenly, she jumped up from the sofa, rushed into the study, and turned on her computer. She was going to search online to see if there were any reliable private investigators or security companies that handled this kind of business.

Before I could even look around for a short while, there was a knock on the door.

Su Fengnan quickly got up and ran to open the door. Outside, Zhou Chenyu stood there, looking travel-worn, his eyes filled with anxiety and exhaustion. "Brother Zhou..."

As soon as she cried out, Su Fengnan's pent-up grievances and fear burst forth, and she choked back sobs. Zhou Chenyu entered the room, closed the door behind him, and pulled her tightly into his arms.

"Nan'er, don't be afraid, Brother Zhou is back."

The two embraced quietly for a while, and only after she had calmed down a bit did Zhou Chenyu softly ask what had happened: "Nan'er, what exactly happened?"

Su Fengnan pulled away from his embrace and gently shook her head: "I don't know either..."

Afterwards, the two sat down on the sofa. Su Fengnan obediently recounted the whole story in detail, not only mentioning her concern that her younger sister would be retaliated against, but also explaining all her interactions with Sun Zile without any concealment.

After listening, Zhou Chenyu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked meaningfully, "Then why did Sun Zile come to see you?"

Su Fengnan shook her head, looking bewildered: "I don't know either. He just told me to talk to him about it tomorrow."

What's the situation with the Hope Primary School he mentioned?

Su Fengnan shook her head again: "I just mentioned it casually at the time, I didn't expect him to really remember it. This time he specially and warmly invited me to go with him to the Hope Primary School to see the children. I agreed, but the specific departure time has not yet been decided."

At this point, Su Fengnan suddenly realized something and muttered in puzzlement, "Could it be that he came all the way here specifically for this? Setting a time is something that can be done with a phone call, why did he have to make a trip?"

Su Fengnan was completely baffled, but Zhou Chenyu's mind immediately went on high alert—this grandson Le was clearly trying to get close to his little girl in a roundabout way!
