CHAPTER 15: CHAPTER 15: TARGETED

As soon as she arrived at the company, Lin Xiaoyan received a call from Sister Lin.

"Xiaoyan, the nurse just said your eyes are quite serious, you need surgery, and asked you to come in today to complete the hospitalization procedures."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan’s scalp tingled, and she quickly said, "Sister Lin, I’m fine now. I went to see the doctor who checked my eyes before, he examined me, said nothing’s wrong, gave me some medicine, and I’m much better this morning."

"Really? That’s good, Xiaoyan. You must be careful with your eyes, make sure to pay attention..."

"Okay, I know, Sister Lin."

Lin Xiaoyan hung up with a stiff head, her hands trembling slightly, praying silently in her heart that those people wouldn’t be watching her!

However, things didn’t go as she wished. At noon, Sister Lin called again, saying the ophthalmologist at El Hospital wanted to give her a free check-up...

Lin Xiaoyan: ......

Can’t they just leave her alone!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiaoyan patiently said, "Sister Lin, my eyes really are better, I don’t need to go to the hospital for a check-up, I was seen at Sea City Central Hospital!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, Ai Lin looked up at the nurse beside her and said, "Okay, I got it. I’ll let them know."

After hanging up, Ai Lin looked at the nurse in front of her, "You heard it too, my colleague’s eyes are indeed fine, there’s no need to trouble the doctor to treat her."

The nurse’s face was somewhat stiff, "Alright, I won’t disturb you then."

After the nurse left, her boyfriend came over and whispered, "You should tell your colleague later to be careful recently and not to believe what this hospital says about free treatment. If there’s a problem, go to a regular hospital for treatment."

Ai Lin looked at her boyfriend in confusion, "What do you mean?"

The boyfriend gently shook his head, "Nothing, I’ll explain after we’re discharged, it’s inconvenient here."

Seeing her boyfriend stop talking, she suppressed her doubts, nodded, and texted Lin Xiaoyan on WeChat.

When Lin Xiaoyan received Ai Lin’s WeChat message, she was having lunch. Seeing the content, she immediately lost her appetite.

"What’s wrong?" Gao Miao, sitting at the same table, noticed that Lin Xiaoyan didn’t look good and asked.

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, "It’s nothing, just some advertisement spam."

"Oh." Gao Miao lowered her head and continued eating.

Lin Xiaoyan ate without tasting the food, contemplating the matter, while praying in her heart, hoping that hospital would stop targeting her!

El Hospital

"Have you thoroughly investigated that girl’s situation?"

"Yes, she just graduated college this year and works alone in Sea City.

Still a part-timer, none of her classmates or friends are in Sea City, her family is out of town..."

The person speaking was none other than the ophthalmology chief physician who examined Lin Xiaoyan last night, along with a nurse.

"This patient’s identity is important, the higher-ups have been pressing for two days. Arrange someone to find a way to get that girl’s blood..."

...

At night, Lin Xiaoyan locked her door several times, and she ordered defense tools online, both big and small, to carry with her from now on.

Sweet dreams for the whole night

The next day, as she was having breakfast and noticing it was still early, Lin Xiaoyan decided to take the bus to work today!

The subway was too crowded, she was afraid of "seeing" something.

She was just a common person, not a superhero, she couldn’t save the world, she just wanted to live peacefully.

"Psssh"

The bus arrived at the stop, and Lin Xiaoyan didn’t hurry to get on. After everyone had boarded, she got on, trying to avoid touching anyone.

"Excuse me, excuse me, I didn’t manage to swipe my card, let me through..."

Lin Xiaoyan stood in the middle, looking out the window, when she heard someone behind needing to pass, she glanced back, shifted her body slightly to make way.

As the person passed her, the bus suddenly braked, and the man seemed to lose his balance, crashing straight into Lin Xiaoyan.

Instinctively, Lin Xiaoyan raised her arm to block.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan’s arm felt a sharp pain, and she leaned back, distancing herself from the man. She didn’t know why she caught the smell of disinfectant on him.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you, I couldn’t keep my balance..."

The man steadied himself and quickly apologized to Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, "It’s okay." Then, she glanced at her arm and noticed it was bleeding from some unknown scrape.

The man had already left the bus, and Lin Xiaoyan frowned watching him, only to see him suddenly turn back and look at her enigmaticly.

When he noticed her gaze, he immediately looked away.

Lin Xiaoyan’s heart jumped, and goosebumps rose on her arm.

The bus started moving, she stared at the man outside as the bus drove further, he watched the bus and then got into a black car...

Lin Xiaoyan lowered her head, looking at her non-bleeding arm, her heart sank to the bottom.

She slowly took out a tissue to wipe the blood from her arm.

Reaching the company before work hours, she had thought it through on the way. She wasn’t sure what to do, if she was being too sensitive, but she felt that man intentionally scratched her arm.

In that spot, there was only her, no one else around, he could have easily gone the other side, yet he bumped into her.

And his look after getting off the bus, it terrified Lin Xiaoyan.

She thought for a moment, opened WeChat, brought up Doctor Yang’s chat page, but didn’t know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Xiaoyan exited the chat page, she had troubled Doctor Yang many times, she couldn’t drag him into this.

She squeezed her fist and finally decided to trust the police and report this!

While no one was around, Lin Xiaoyan found a secluded spot and dialed 110.

Today, Mao Hong was on the day shift, she got up early to get to the police station, just finished handing over work, and the phone rang.

She glanced at the incoming number, huh? It seemed familiar!

Mao Hong thought about whose familiar phone number this was, press the answer button, "Hello, this is ** police station, what seems to be the matter?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan recognized the caller as the dispatcher from that night and quietly said, "Hi, officer, I’d like to report a case."

Upon hearing this voice, Mao Hong paused, this was the girl who reported a case three nights ago, called... called... Lin Xiaoyan! Yes, that’s the name!

"Did something happen to you?"

For some reason, Mao Hong felt inexplicably excited.

Lin Xiaoyan swallowed and calmly said, "I feel like I’m being watched."

"Hm? Have you experienced anything recently? Why do you feel like you’ve been targeted?" Mao Hong asked.
