Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 445 Bamboo Tube Cake

"Well, go ahead and go home early." Director Niu looked at Xu Changping's back as he turned and left, quickly stood up, took off his white coat, and changed into casual clothes.

I had made an appointment with an old friend to have a drink and reminisce about the past today, but because of being delayed by Xu Changping, it’s already getting late.

Xu Changping went back to the large office of the infirmary next door, pushed open the door and saw that, as expected, there was no one inside.

He slowly and methodically placed the file in his hand into the filing cabinet, then slowly walked behind his desk.

In fact, the moment he stepped out of Director Niu's office, he keenly felt a vague and erratic gaze falling on him.

While lowering his head, he quickly glanced around and confirmed the source of the gaze - someone was following him!

This made Xu Changping even more certain that the bracelet definitely did not fall under the desk by accident, but was done intentionally by someone.

And it seemed that what he had said in the infirmary this morning about the desk had reached some ears.

Thinking carefully back to the scene in the morning, only Wu Yu and Zhou Fangfang were present.

Wu Yu was a doctor transferred from the People's Hospital with a clean background. Xu Changping had also witnessed his professionalism in treating patients, so for now he could be ruled out as a suspect.

So the only thing left... is Zhou Fangfang, but the people she will be talking to are probably the other two nurses Zhou.

After all, it would definitely take two people to clean under the desk. As long as she mentioned the cleaning under the desk to the other two nurses named Zhou, she would most likely mention that she had moved the desk.

If his guess was correct, then the person hiding behind the scenes must have known that the bracelet was taken away by him.

So why did they send someone here to keep an eye on me? Could it be... Yes, they must want to see if I moved the desk yesterday on a whim.

Thinking of this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Xu Changping's eyes, and then he slowly stretched his right hand towards the edge of his desk.

As Xu Changping moved, the gaze from outside the window became more and more urgent, as if it wanted to burn two holes in his body.

However, just as Xu Changping's palm was about to touch the edge of the table, it suddenly sank down and grabbed a medical record placed aside.

He flipped through the medical records nonchalantly, muttering to himself, "Who wrote this? Why is it so ugly?"

After he finished speaking, he moved his wrist and the case fell back to its previous position accurately like a white arc.

Then he turned around, quickly changed out of his white coat, picked up his bag from under the table, and walked towards the door without hesitation.

At the moment, he was not worried that there was anything under the desk. After all, he had someone watching it, and it would be stupid to put anything under it.

Just as he started to lock the door, the gaze that had been looming over him suddenly disappeared.

Xu Changping was speechless. Did the guy in charge of following me leave because he saw that I was leaving?

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Changping felt a little unhappy, and suddenly wanted to play a trick on that guy.

He did it as he thought. He gently removed the padlock that was not yet completely locked, then slowly pushed open the door and stepped into the infirmary again.

This time, he did not rush out, but deliberately stayed in the room for a while, wanting to see when that mysterious gaze would appear again.

It was a long time before Xu Changping felt the familiar gaze again.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he thought in a good mood: This guy probably found out that I haven't shown up for a long time, so he came back.

The corners of Xu Changping's mouth twitched slightly upwards, and a look of understanding quietly appeared in the depths of his eyes.

At this time, he had already thought about it in his mind. Judging from the man's unskilled and slightly clumsy tracking method just now, this person was obviously not a well-trained veteran who professionally engaged in stalking work.

After a little thought, Xu Changping speculated that this person was most likely a worker in the factory, but was bribed by someone with ulterior motives.

After realizing this, Xu Changping's movements became calm and unhurried. He casually picked up a pen on the table, put it into his pocket, and walked out of the infirmary door again without hesitation.

This time, he no longer deliberately teased the guy who was in charge of surveillance like before. Instead, he completely ignored the other's gaze and walked towards the carport with firm and quick steps.

When he arrived at the carport, Xu Changping skillfully found his parked car, unlocked it and got in the car in one go.

Then, he pedaled hard and the bicycle sped out of the steel mill like an arrow, leaving the stalker behind him staring at his departing back with a confused look on his face.

After leaving the steel factory, Xu Changping did not ride his bike back to the courtyard in a hurry as usual, but instead rushed towards the Wumen courtyard.

Although just yesterday, when he was chatting with Yang Xiaoyue, he half-jokingly expressed that he wanted Xiao Mi to stay at the Master's house for a few more days, it was just a joke.

In fact, Xu Changping knew very well that Xiao Mi was still young, and would inevitably feel scared and uneasy if left alone outside, so no matter what, he could not really leave Xiao Mi at his master's house.

Along the way, Xu Changping kept increasing his riding speed, and it didn't take long before he arrived at the gate of the Wumen courtyard.

However, before entering the house, Xu Changping heard Xiao Mi's clear and pleasant laughter, like a silver bell, through the slightly ajar courtyard door.

Xu Changping smiled, gently stretched out his hand, and applied a little force on the door, and the door opened.

In the courtyard, Xiao Mi, who was having a great time, immediately spotted Xu Changping standing outside the door and shouted excitedly, "Brother Tangguo, you're here!"

Xu Changping's eyes were full of doting. He smiled and nodded to Xiao Mi, then turned his gaze to the courtyard and respectfully greeted Guan Ke and Miao Sanjie who were sitting at the table: "Hello, Master, hello, old lady."

Before Guan Ke could reply, Sister Miao called out, "Hey, Changping, you're finally here. Come and try the bamboo tube cake I just made. It's delicious!"

Xu Changping hurriedly thanked her: "Okay, thank you, old lady." Then, he parked the bicycle neatly, walked quickly to the well to wash his hands, and then walked to the round table with the bamboo tube cake.
