TVSFPAG -Chapter 107 Being Checked Up On Is Terrifying

Song Yunfei rushed as hard as she could, and fortunately, she made it onto the plane. If she had been even a few minutes later, the boarding gate would have closed.

Sitting on the plane, she wiped the sweat from her forehead. Dragging such heavy luggage and carrying a computer weighing over ten pounds had nearly exhausted her.

Going home was especially troublesome.

From the city, after taking a plane, she still had to take a bus or taxi back to the county town. From the county, she would take another bus back to the town. From the town, she would take a motorcycle taxi back to the countryside, and then walk about ten minutes along a small path to reach the village.

Just thinking about it made Song Yunfei feel overwhelmed.

By the time she arrived in the city, it was already 10 p.m., so she had no choice but to find a hotel to stay in and take the bus the next day.

When she turned on her phone, seven or eight missed calls and over a dozen WeChat messages popped up.

Song Yunfei broke out in a cold sweat instantly. No need to think—it must have been Chu Jinhan.

Messages were sent every half hour, all asking the same thing:

Have you arrived?

Have you arrived?

Have you arrived?

At that moment, she finally experienced what it felt like to be “checked up on”—it was terrifying!

After thinking for a moment, she replied: I arrived in the afternoon and went into a meeting, so my phone was off. Sorry, I’m only seeing this now.

Within seconds, Chu Jinhan replied: Then get some good rest and make sure your doors and windows are locked.

Song Yunfei wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, threw her phone aside, and went to take a shower.

On the other side.

Chu Jinhan also put down his phone and sat on the electric scooter, looking at the hospital across from him.

After a short while, Bai Yu came out from inside, talking and laughing with another person.

Chu Jinhan’s brows slightly furrowed.

After Bai Yu got into a car and drove off, he followed as well.

Bai Yu didn’t go straight home, but instead went to a street-side eatery.

Inside the eatery sat a woman.

Seeing Bai Yu enter, she immediately pulled him to sit down.

Then she called out to the waiter.

Soon, the waiter brought over two crates of beer.

Xiao Xian pointed at the beer and said, “You’re on vacation tomorrow, so you must drink tonight. If you can drink more than me, I’ll leave tomorrow.”

Bai Yu looked at her helplessly. “I’m a doctor. I can’t drink—what if there’s an emergency?”

“You’re on leave already. Stop talking nonsense and drink. Otherwise, I’ll just buy a house here and stay.”

Bai Yu smiled. “Alright then. But if you drink too much, I won’t take you home.”

Xiao Xian snorted. “Last time I underestimated you. You think you can get me drunk this time?”

Bai Yu smiled faintly and didn’t argue further, taking beers out of the crate.

Neither of them noticed that someone across from them was watching.

After observing for a while, Chu Jinhan rode away.

The next morning.

Liu Shanshan walked toward the sales office in high heels. During this period, Liu Maocai had become obsessed with stock trading and had no time to pay attention to her.

She had to drive herself to work, and because Liu Maocai ignored her, she had been keeping a low profile lately.

Previously, she used to gossip about others with her colleagues; now, her colleagues were gossiping about her.

With a sour expression, she was about to enter the building when she suddenly noticed a man standing at the entrance.

He was wearing a shirt with a beige jacket over it. His handsome face and outstanding figure made him very eye-catching.

However, she only glanced at him and ignored him, walking straight toward the sales office.

“Liu Shanshan.”

The man suddenly called out to her.

She stopped and turned back, looking at him with irritation. “What do you want?”

The man said calmly, “With your outstanding performance, why haven’t you been transferred to the new Huai City property project?”

Liu Shanshan sneered. “Where did you hear that nonsense? When did Huai City even launch a new project? If you’re trying to stir trouble, at least come up with a better excuse.”

The man looked at her thoughtfully but didn’t respond further. He turned and walked away.

Watching his back, Liu Shanshan muttered under her breath, “Stupid nobody, acting all high and mighty.”

Song Yunfei set off early in the morning and only arrived home by evening.

By then, she was so exhausted that she felt like her entire body was falling apart.

Seeing the gray-brick single-story house on the left side of the small path ahead, she felt so excited that tears almost fell from her eyes.

Counting it, this was only the second time the original owner had returned home since going to college.

It had already been over two years since she last came back, and she felt that being able to still find her way home was quite impressive.

The surroundings were filled with farmland. Some plots were overgrown with weeds, some were bare but covered with straw, and some fields still had golden rice that hadn’t been harvested. When the wind blew, it carried a strong fragrance of rice grains.

Outside the courtyard of that single-story house stood a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, with graying hair and wearing a thin sapphire-blue floral shirt.

She held a broom in her hand, gathering the grains scattered across the open yard.

Song Yunfei stood outside the courtyard, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, unsure for a moment how to speak.

After standing there for a while, the woman seemed to notice her and froze in place.

The large broom in her hand fell to the ground as she stared at Song Yunfei in disbelief, stunned for a full ten seconds.

Only then did she uncertainly speak, “Yunfei?”

Song Yunfei forced a smile, picked up her suitcase, and walked over. “Mom, I’m back.”

Mrs. Song was overjoyed, flustered, and quickly walked toward her, taking the suitcase from her hands.

“You child, why did you just come back like this without telling us in advance? You almost scared me to death!”

Song Yunfei smiled. “I wanted to give you a surprise. Besides, if I didn’t come back, Dad wouldn’t agree to go to the hospital.”

Hearing about Song Dashan’s illness, the joy on Mrs. Song’s face gradually faded.

“Sigh… the doctor said it’s been delayed too long. Treatment will be painful, and it’ll cost a lot too. We originally agreed not to tell you—we didn’t expect you to still come back.”

Song Yunfei had only recently graduated and didn’t have much money. Telling her wouldn’t help; instead, they feared it would burden her.

“Still, it’s good that you have this intention and came back to see him. Your father will be very happy. Don’t think too much—everyone has that day eventually.”

“Mom, I’ll go see Dad first.”

Song Dashan was sitting in a plastic reclining chair inside the house, his eyes closed. Compared to her memory, he had lost a great deal of weight and looked very haggard.

“Old Song, your daughter’s back.”

Hearing the voice, Song Dashan suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing his daughter at the door, his eyes instantly showed joy.

But he quickly suppressed it and put on a stern face. “Why are you back? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”

Song Yunfei walked over with a smile. As she got closer, she could smell a complex odor coming from him.

She didn’t mind it and sat down beside him. “I’ve been busy with graduation and work these past two years, so I didn’t have time to come back and see you. Now that I have some free time, I came back.”

Song Dashan struggled to sit up and looked at her suspiciously. “So how long are you planning to stay?”

Song Yunfei replied casually, “Five or six days.”

Song Dashan’s expression softened slightly. He couldn’t help but lecture her—telling her to work hard, get along well with colleagues, and so on.

Song Yunfei just listened and smiled in agreement.

Seeing her become so obedient, Song Dashan’s eyes showed a hint of suspicion.

But soon, he attributed it to the fact that his daughter must have learned about his illness, which was why she had become more sensible.

Since she had just returned, it wasn’t the right time to persuade her about anything. He would wait for a better opportunity to talk.

After chatting with Song Dashan for a while, she went back outside to help Mrs. Song clean up the harvested rice grains.

After finishing work, Bai Yu left the hospital and headed toward the parking lot.

Standing by the car door, he took a phone call.

There was no sound on the other end. After he repeatedly said “hello,” the call suddenly disconnected.

He looked at the ended call and shook his head, putting the phone into his pocket.

But when he reached in, his hand came up empty—the phone was gone.

Turning around, he saw that his phone was in the hands of the man beside him, who was casually flipping through it as if no one else was around.

Bai Yu laughed in anger. “Do you realize you’re breaking the law? Are you tired of sewing machine duty and looking for a new place to ‘operate a sewing machine’?”

The man remained silent and continued scrolling through the phone.

Bai Yu took a deep breath and reached out to snatch his phone back.

But it was as if Chu Jinhan had extra eyes—before Bai Yu could even touch the phone, Chu Jinhan pressed a hand against his chest, preventing him from getting closer.

“Chu Jinhan, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Chu Jinhan continued browsing, his expression gradually changing.

He turned the phone screen toward Bai Yu. “Did she send you this?”

Bai Yu looked at the image on the phone—it was the medical report Song Yunfei had sent him that day.

His eyelid twitched, and his expression gradually became serious. “What do you mean?”
