Chapter 1750: I Drank Too Much, and Will Be Staying with a Friend

Shen Zhilie: [Yeah. That’s what I thought too.]

Ye Qianqian got changed and put on her shoes, preparing to head out.

When Luo Ran saw her reply, he suddenly realized that it wouldn’t be appropriate.

After a moment’s thought, he sent her another message. [Why don’t you let me find out a little more for you. Don’t panic, sister-in-law. This guy is wily. He’ll have no problem escaping trouble. Don’t worry.]

Ye Qianqian wasn’t exactly reassured when she read the message. She recalled Shen Zhilie’s words a few days ago regarding the female patient who was on the verge of going crazy.

What if that woman had really gone crazy?

A murderer who was mentally unstable did not have to bear any legal responsibility.

The more Ye Qianqian thought about it, the more terrified she became. She picked up her handbag and opened the front door.

Fang Tongtong noticed her and asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to look for Shen Zhilie.”

“Seriously? What are you so worried about? He’s a grown man! So what if he’s a little late? What happens if you find him, and he turns out to be fine? He might accuse you of being too clingy! Well, that will be awkward.” Fang Tongtong stood up. “Perhaps he’s having a get-together with his friends or something. If they were to find out, he’ll become a laughingstock! How will he show his face in public then?”

Ye Qianqian didn’t stop in her steps. Her cellphone suddenly sounded.

It was a phone call.

The caller was Shen Zhilie!

Ye Qianqian quickly answered the call, “Hello?”

“Yeah.” It was Shen Zhilie’s voice.

Ye Qianqian heaved a huge sigh of relief and anxiously yelled, “Where are you?”

“Oh…” Shen Zhilie sounded as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep. He replied, “I ended work a little early today, so my colleagues dragged me off for some drinks. I drank a little too much and got drunk, which is why I wasn’t able to answer the phone.”

Ye Qianqian had been worried for a long time only to receive such an explanation from him. She suddenly felt as if she had vastly overreacted.

Ye Qianqian clenched her jaw and slammed the door that she had just opened shut. She admonished, “What the hell? Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up!”

“That’s not necessary. I’m resting at my colleague’s place now. Oh right! I need to return home in the Capital for a while. Something cropped up with my brother, so I need to rush back.”

“Shen Luo’an?”

“Yeah.” Shen Zhilie simply replied. He sounded very weak.

Ye Qianqian could tell from his tone that he wasn’t in a good state. He must have drunk a lot. A little annoyed, but powerless to do anything about it, she asked, “What time is your flight tomorrow? I’ll pack your luggage for you and send it over. Where does your colleague live?”

“It’s fine. It’s a male colleague. If you don’t believe me, I’ll have him come to the phone now.”

With that, she heard some static on the other line.

“No. That’s not it…”

She just wanted to see him. It had been an excruciating night of worry, and she was still feeling unsettled.

However, Ye Qianqian changed her mind. The words disappeared in her throat.

“Hello, Sister-in-law. I’m Zhou Dawei. You can just call me Xiao Zhou. Dr. Shen was eating at my place and accidentally drank a little too much. It’s late now, and Dr. Shen isn’t in a very good state. In addition to that, he has a flight to catch in the morning back to the Capital. Why don’t you just leave him to rest at my place?”

Xiao Zhou sounded very alert. Ye Qianqian was quiet for a while before asking, “Didn’t you drink?”

“Um…” Xiao Zhou sounded a little embarrassed. “My wife won’t let me drink because I’ve been suffering from gastric ulcers lately. I had no choice but to have my buddies drink on my behalf. I’m sorry that you’ll have to sleep alone tonight, Sister-in-law. I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again with Dr. Shen. I promise.”

Ye Qianqian pursed her lips and replied none too kindly, “Forget it. Remember to give him some honey water to help with his hangover. Otherwise, it’s going to be a long flight.”
