The Young Urban Doctor

Fortunately, the spot where the two of them stood was a small grove.

With the grove blocking the view, and no streetlights nearby, the dim light meant no one saw their movements.

Luo Ziling escaped swiftly, as fast as a sprinter in a hundred-meter dash, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

After chasing him for a few steps and not spotting Luo Ziling, Ouyang Huihui had to stop.

While she was chasing Luo Ziling, she twisted her leg a bit, and it hurt, hampering her speed, so she could not catch up to him and had to give up.

After stopping, Ouyang Huihui crouched down and gently rubbed the sore spot on her ankle, continuing to mutter curses at Luo Ziling under her breath.

Meanwhile, after swiftly fleeing from Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling immediately called out to Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang, who were waiting nearby, urging them to leave the area quickly. The three guys were fairly honest and hadn't followed him to eavesdrop; instead, they went ahead to wait for Luo Ziling.

Seeing how frantically Luo Ziling had escaped, the three guys were full of curiosity.

"Boss, what happened?" After running out of the school gate, Cao Jianhui grabbed Luo Ziling, looking very puzzled, "Do you know that woman? Who is she? Why does she have such a grudge against you? What happened just now? Did you do something to her?"

"It's that person who drove the sports car that day," Luo Ziling said with a gloomy face, "I didn't expect she was also a student at our school. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with her that day!"

"Holy crap, really?" Cao Jianhui's face was a picture of shock, "It's that beautiful girl who drove the luxury car? Boss, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"How could I be?" Luo Ziling shook his head gloomily, "I'm certain it's her."

"I'm not saying you mistook her identity, I'm saying you mistook the approach," Cao Jianhui looked gravely serious, advising Luo Ziling earnestly, "The fact all this happened between you suggests fate is at play. What a great opportunity to pursue a rich and beautiful girl, you can't miss out. I mean, Boss, you shouldn't quibble about anything, instead, you should seize the opportunity to pursue her. Just think, she's so beautiful, with such a great figure, a campus belle, which man wouldn't be moved? Plus, a woman who can afford that kind of sports car definitely comes from a wealthy family. If you could win her over, then you wouldn't have to worry about the rest of your life."

Seeing the envy, jealousy, and resentment on Cao Jianhui's face, and similar expressions from the other two guys, Luo Ziling replied irritably, "That woman is a lunatic; I have no interest in pursuing her. As long as she doesn't bother me anymore, I'll be more than satisfied. If you're so keen, go chase her yourself!"

"Boss, how can you say that?" Cao Jianhui continued to lecture Luo Ziling like one who had been through it all, "Love often arises not just from mutual attraction, but from incidents like what happened between you two, all the conflict and arguments, eventually leading to mutual affection. What's that saying? Bickering breeds fondness. Disputes and conflicts are the ties that bind your relationship; you need to cherish this great opportunity. If you don't take this chance, you're doomed to be single forever."

"Number Two is right," Wu Longjiang quickly chimed in, "This beauty named Ouyang Huihui is really a top-notch goddess, a stunning beauty, one in ten thousand, definitely the emerging campus belle. With an affluent background to boot, a true rich and beautiful girl, if you let a woman like that slip away, congratulations, you can resign yourself to being single for life!"

"Boss, how about letting me have the opportunity?" Cao Jianhui said with a sleazy grin, patting Luo Ziling's shoulder, "Hurry up and tell me Ouyang Huihui's contact information, her phone number, WeChat, QQ, and other details, including which department and class she's in."

"I don't know, I only know her name," Luo Ziling shook his head, and after thinking, chose not to reveal anything more.

"No way?" Cao Jianhui's face showed disbelief, "How come you didn't ask her anything?"

"I'm not interested in her," Luo Ziling said, shaking his head decisively, and then slapped Cao Jianhui's shoulder firmly, "Let's go, let's drink and have a midnight snack."

Cao Jianhui didn't say anything else and, with his arm around Luo Ziling's shoulders, gestured to Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang behind him to head to a small eatery near the school gate called "Fatty Bone Pot".

The four of them got a private room in the "Fatty Bone Pot" and ordered a large serving of bone pot, along with pig blood curd, tofu skin, greens, glass noodles and other items, plus a case of beer.

With a "pop", Cao Jianhui opened a bottle of beer with his chopsticks and passed it to Luo Ziling, then opened one for himself, clinked bottles with Luo Ziling with a "clang", and said with a hearty laugh, "Boss, I owe you big time today for saving me, or else I would have really gotten hurt by those motherf*@#ers. Cheers to you, I'll chug mine, and you can take it easy."

As he spoke, he tilted his head back and downed a bottle of beer dry.

Luo Ziling thought for a moment and also downed his beer in one go.

"Take it easy, don't drink in such a hurry, you'll get drunk," Luo Ziling waved his hand to signal Cao Jianhui not to continue his generous pour, "Let's talk while we eat and drink."

"Boss, who taught you those fighting skills, they were so awesome?" Cao Jianhui asked in a low voice after placing another opened bottle of beer in front of Luo Ziling, "You were just like a martial arts hero, sending your opponents flying with a graceful strike, so badass. I learned some martial arts before but I never took it seriously, only know a few amateur moves."

"Learned it from my grandpa, my grandpa's quite good at martial arts," Luo Ziling didn't want his companions to ask more about this topic and quickly changed the subject, "Jianhui, who were you calling earlier? Were you looking for someone to help?"

"My brother, my actual brother, he's had interactions with the leaders here, but he was reluctant to call, not sure if he ended up calling in the end," Cao Jianhui said with a wry smile, "Unexpectedly, it all came to nothing. Had I known, I wouldn't have called him."

Before long, the bone pot was brought to the table, along with the other dishes arriving promptly, and the four started to chat while enjoying their late-night snack and drinks.

As the drinking went on and they became more talkative, Cao Jianhui eventually disclosed his identity under Luo Ziling's probing questions.

It turned out that Cao Jianhui's parents were high-ranking civil "monkeys" in Ji Province, and his brother Cao Jianming worked in the Ministry of Education. Thanks to his parents' network, he was familiar with the president of Yanjing University and several department heads.

Upon hearing Cao Jianhui's revelation, Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang were stunned.

Coming from rural backgrounds, they had not expected Cao Jianhui to be such a person.

Only Luo Ziling wasn't particularly amazed. Having visited the Ouyang Family that day and felt the aura of the wealthy, his fear of authority had lessened. If he could harden his heart to call off the engagement with someone like Ouyang Feifei, what else was there to be perturbed about?

He believed that the influence of Ouyang Feifei would definitely not be less than that of Cao Jianhui's parents, and the power of the Ouyang Family was immeasurable. This was evident from the vast expanse of villas they owned in the special location of Xiangshan.

Just as Cao Jianhui was drunkenly ranting and even threatening to teach those thugs a lesson from earlier, Luo Ziling's phone rang.

Besides the few people present and Li Jing, Luo Ziling hadn't given his number to many others, so it was surprising that he had a call.

As soon as he answered, it turned out to be from Ouyang Feifei.
