Chapter 29: Take Medicine On Time
“Are you Zhou Yu?”
When he asked this, Jiang Yang deliberately raised his voice. The steamed bun shop, which had been filled with the buzz of numerous conversations, instantly fell quiet for a moment, with countless gazes turning toward them.
Zhou Yu looked up in surprise, full of confusion as she stared at Jiang Yang: “And you are?”
Jiang Yang was filled with excitement as if he had finally found a family member, his voice trembling: “You’re Li Ya’s good friend?”
“Uh, yes, you…”
“You two were sleeping together just a few days ago, right?”
Jiang Yang didn’t answer Zhou Yu at all, firing off questions one after another, not giving her any time to think.
“How do you know? Are you…”
Jiang Yang raised his voice again: “Zhou Yu, I beg you, please stop stealing my girlfriend, okay?”
The noise in the steamed bun shop, which had already been suppressed by Jiang Yang, completely vanished after this sentence.
Countless people had excitement and gossip gleaming in their eyes.
A man begging a woman not to steal his girlfriend? This…
There’s a good show to watch!
Zhou Yu’s eyes and mouth opened wide in complete shock.
Jiang Yang continued passionately: “Li Ya is a woman, and you’re a woman too. Two women together won’t be happy!
She and I are already engaged. I’ll make her happy. Please don’t be the third wheel or break us up, okay? She’s not talking to me anymore now. Wuwu, I really love her so much!”
Zhou Yu’s mind seemed to short-circuit, and even her speech began to stutter: “No, I’m not, I, I didn’t, I…”
“You just said you slept with her a few days ago!”
“I, I…”
Looking at Zhou Yu, who was dumbfounded and speechless, Jiang Yang caught in his peripheral vision at least dozens of people in the steamed bun shop—including servers, customers, and even chefs poking their heads out from the kitchen—all watching this way with excitement and gossip. Jiang Yang silently thought to himself: “Sorry, Zhou Yu, you made me do this. Don’t blame me…”
At this moment, Jiang Yang could clearly see Zhou Yu’s face flushing red then turning pale, utterly mortified.
But unexpectedly, for some reason, the Zhou Yu in front of him seemed to quickly regain her calmness.
She slammed her hand on the table with a loud smack, stood up straight, and stared at Jiang Yang: “Why would I steal Li Ya? Don’t you have any idea? If you hadn’t seduced other men, would I have to steal her from you?
If you like men, go find a man. Don’t hold Li Ya back! She’ll only be unhappy with you!”
Hiss—
The steamed bun shop filled with a collective gasp.
They thought what happened earlier was already explosive enough, but there was even more shocking stuff?
Turns out this guy was that kind of person and still wouldn’t let go of his girlfriend?
Marriage fraud?
Countless gazes instantly shifted from Zhou Yu to Jiang Yang, filled with undisguised contempt.
With a boom, Jiang Yang felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his head.
He was dumbfounded, speechless, and could only stare blankly at Zhou Yu: “You, you…”
“You what! Only someone like you who commits marriage fraud would think everyone else is like you!
Li Ya and I are good friends. I can’t watch her fall into your trap! You have the nerve to beg me? Let me tell you, if you’re smart, stay away from Li Ya, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
At this moment, Jiang Yang had only one thought in his mind.
Damn it, he got played!
Played by the Zhou Yu from the last cycle teaming up with the Zhou Yu of this life!
She must have known exactly how he would react and deliberately told him about some sociology experiment to trick him into pranking her!
He thought she would be the one socially dead, but in the end, it was him.
This was clearly a trap set for him!
Jiang Yang clearly felt as if the Zhou Yu from the previous life had gained the ability to traverse spacetime, standing ten days in the future and reaching through spacetime to slap the him from ten days ago right now.
The discussions in the steamed bun shop could no longer be suppressed, and words like “so disgusting” and “shameless” faintly drifted over, making Jiang Yang wish he could bury himself in a hole.
Zhou Yu in front of him held her head high defiantly, staring at him without backing down.
A round-faced, overweight man with a beard, glasses, and white socks walked over somewhat shyly and tapped Jiang Yang: “Handsome, add green bubble?”
Jiang Yang shuddered all over and quickly dodged the bearded man: “Get lost!”
“Jeez, if you don’t like it, no need to curse. Hateful.”
The bearded man muttered as he left.
Jiang Yang turned back to face Zhou Yu again.
Zhou Yu said with some contempt: “What now?”
Outside, the roar of a helicopter and the sound of a large team of guards running in formation could faintly be heard.
Jiang Yang’s heart stirred, and he instantly calmed down, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Several fully armed guards pushed the door open and entered, and the previously noisy breakfast shop instantly became deathly silent.
All gazes converged on these guards.
“Please stay seated and don’t move. Apologies for any disturbance.”
Seeing the lead guard scan the room and walk toward him, Jiang Yang raised his hand first, signaling the guard to stop, then said: “No rush. I’ve already found the patient who escaped from our mental hospital—it’s her.”
The guard was instantly stunned, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Yu was also stunned again, looking at Jiang Yang in disbelief.
Jiang Yang smiled faintly: “You can’t run this time, right? Come back with me obediently, remember to take your medicine on time, and don’t wander off.”
He turned to the guards: “Let’s go.”
The guards were clearly a bit puzzled. But the purpose of this mission was to escort the target, and during the process, follow the target’s arrangements.
The target character’s words at this moment were a bit hard to understand.
Maybe it’s the secret that the superiors mentioned?
No need to overthink it—just execute the mission. Since the target is willing to leave with them and has ordered to take this woman along…
Then obey the orders.
The lead guard waved his hand, and two other guards came to Zhou Yu, saluting with a snap: “Please cooperate.”
“Hey, I don’t know him! I’m not mentally ill! I’m not going with you! Who are you? Help! Help!”
Zhou Yu desperately sought help from the people around her in panic. But people looked at me, I looked at you—no one spoke, let alone stepped forward to stop them.
“You said so much to me earlier, and now you say you don’t know me? Do you think everyone’s idiots…
Come with me obediently.”
Jiang Yang smiled and cupped his hands to those around: “Sorry, sorry, for troubling everyone.”
The group quickly left, leaving the customers in the steamed bun shop buzzing with discussion.
“After all that commotion, turns out a mental patient escaped.”
“Never seen them deploy guards with firearms to catch a mental patient before. Those firearms, tsk tsk.”
“Such a pretty girl is a mental patient. What a pity.”
