Chapter 279: 2079 Being Followed

At this time, high school could only be attended through official examinations—In previous years, Xia Chuyi had studied in the countryside and had barely learned anything. By the time she reached junior high, she had taken on all the responsibilities of the second household, cared for Mother Xia, and neglected her studies.

Logically, she shouldn’t have been able to attend high school, but Uncle Xia had pulled many strings to secure her a special admission quota for children of martyrs.

Because she wasn’t a regular student, Liu Chunya, who paid high fees to study, intentionally or unintentionally regarded her as a competitor—from appearances to academics.

Unfortunately, in neither respect could Liu Chunya surpass her.

Xia Chuyi was still reminiscing when she heard Liu Chunya continue angrily, “Xia Chuyi, you’re in such a hurry to get married in your teens, don’t you find it embarrassing? I find it embarrassing!”

Embarrassed by getting married?

In this era, there were plenty of people who got married in their teens.

Seeing Xia Chuyi’s lack of reaction, Liu Chunya thought she had acquiesced and continued triumphantly, “If you have any sense, you’d better hurry up and scram from the school, so as not to cause a bad influence!”

With the perspective of an old monster who had lived two lifetimes, Xia Chuyi found the jealousy of young girls truly terrifying.

However, she didn’t want to argue with Liu Chunya.

Bullying a young girl as an “old crone” was an inglorious victory.

“Are you done talking? If you’re done, I’m leaving,” Xia Chuyi said calmly.

Then, she ignored Liu Chunya completely and left in a flash.

Perhaps because of her overly calm demeanor, Liu Chunya was stunned for a long time, only much later did she hear Liu Chunya shout from behind, “Xia Chuyi, don’t ever come back to the school! The school is no place for someone like you!”

Xia Chuyi completely ignored her.

After leaving the school, she walked some distance and realized someone was following her.

To say it was following, the person really had no technique at all, as one could spot him almost immediately.

The person was quite familiar, the middle-aged man who had visited “Youwei” with Ou Lianlian before.

Actually, since the day Ou Lianlian left, she had noticed this middle-aged man occasionally appeared near “Youwei.”

Since the man didn’t exhibit any extreme behaviors and didn’t appear very frequently, she hadn’t paid much attention.

Now, he had actually followed her all the way to her school!

Was there no end to this?

A shadow passed through Xia Chuyi’s eyes, she clutched her books and walked toward a more secluded alley next to Lingshan Middle School, turning seven ways and eight bends before shaking him off.

Then, she headed straight for the Police Station.

“Comrade Chuyi, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?” After Huo Shiqian’s people withdrew, Chang Luhui had been busy with the crackdown on organized crime and the reorganization of the Police Station, and he hadn’t seen Xia Chuyi in a while.

He was somewhat surprised to see her suddenly.

“Director Chang, I want to report a case of stalking and harassment,” Xia Chuyi said calmly.

“What?” Chang Luhui thought he might have misheard.

“Director Chang, I said, I want to report a case of someone stalking me,” she repeated calmly with an unchanged expression.

Chang Luhui: …

The gang leader’s wife had her shop smashed in his jurisdiction… now she was being stalked and harassed… he felt his head might be on the line.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Chuyi felt a bit amused and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not that serious, I’ve already shaken him off.”

“If things went as expected, he should still be in the original spot.”

The man was sent by Ou Lianlian to spy on her; having lost track of her, he would probably spend half the day searching nearby.
