I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years

Chapter 26: Me! Wu Chen! From an ordinary family!

Wu Chen was very puzzled, at this moment, why did someone start to follow and monitor him?

His new life just started today. Although he experienced a lot of things today, in terms of the speed of news dissemination, no one should be eyeing him at this time.

Ding Ruilong?

Ding Ruilong was not a god, it was impossible to know his existence now.

At least a few days later.

Why was he being followed and monitored?

Could it be Li Ruotai?

Arranging for someone to spy on him, even when he went to the toilet?

It’s not right to think about it. Li Ruotai wouldn’t do such a stupid thing, and his cronies wouldn’t be so bad that they would be discovered easily.

Wu Chen thought about his footsteps but didn’t stop. It’s more important to eat. His life was lifted. He had to enjoy it and not treat himself badly, although being watched might be something, it might even be dangerous.

But, it didn’t matter!

Wu Chen didn’t think that there would be a sudden situation that he couldn’t handle, otherwise, he would have lived like a dog in his thousand-year reincarnation.

Just after Wu Chen returned to the private room and closed the door, at the corner of the corridor, a man wearing a peaked cap looked around, glanced at the door of the private room, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

“Hey, brother.”

“Where is he?”

“Lunch with Mr. Li and Miss Li.”

“Keep watching, be careful, don’t be found out.”

“Yes, don’t worry, brother. By the way, brother. If you want, I can eavesdrop on their chat…”

“Are you so crazy? If Mr. Li finds out, you will be fed to fishes tomorrow! Just follow carefully and see where he ends up.”

—

In the private room…

“What are you talking about?” Wu Chen pulled the chair and sat down, and asked with a casual smile.

“We’re about brother-in-law.” Li Ruotai answered immediately, feeling that he was a little more polite than before, “Brother-in-law, I haven’t asked you yet, are you from Donghai?”

“Yes, from the county below, from Ning’an County.” Wu Chen replied in a chatty tone.

As soon as Li Ruotai opened his mouth, he already knew what Li Ruotai meant, it was just a cliché.

Li Ruobing knew it too, but she didn’t stop him. In fact, she also wanted to hear what Wu Chen would say.

“In the county, do you live in the urban area?”

“I live in the old street of Dongcheng District, in Yuehe Community.”

“Huh, that… the old city. It’s all old houses. Brother-in-law, with your great skill, you didn’t buy a better house?”

“No, the old house left by the family is pretty good to live in.”

“The old house left by the family?” Li Ruotai repeated Wu Chen’s words. He found a loophole, took a moment and said, “Brother-in-law, didn’t you just say that your family is from Ning’an County, why is there an old house in the city?”

There was a problem with that logic.

“It’s our old house.” Wu Chen raised his head and smiled, “My father and mother, when they were young, just got married, and went to the city to work hard together. My father is a cook, and he can make ramen and stir-fry vegetables. My mother has a higher education level. She was an accountant. That was more than twenty years ago, and the house was also cheap. They saved money for several years before they paid the down payment and bought the house with a loan.

“After that… before my grandfather passed away, he had been in poor health for many years. After my grandma passed away, my parents decided to take care of the elderly. At that time, they wanted to set up a store in the city, but they didn’t have enough money, so they just went back to the county. It is convenient to open a store in the county and take care of the elderly.

“Then, this house in the city was rented out for several years, and the house price kept rising, so they were not willing to sell it until I went to high school, Donghai No. 1 Middle School. I moved back here then.”

Wu Chen didn’t mind talking about his family affairs, he knew that with Li Ruotai’s power, it would take him a minute to find out.

There was one point worth mentioning.

That was to say, Wu Chen traveled from a parallel universe, and he became himself in a parallel universe, so, in fact, his parents, relatives and friends in this world were the same as before the time travel.

Emotions were naturally the same.

Although the life experience was slightly different, they were the same.

After listening to Wu Chen’s simple narration, Li Ruotai only had two words left in his mind: ordinary!

Too ordinary! It’s so ordinary!

Wu Chen’s parents, more than 20 years ago, also had passion in their hearts and came to the big city hand in hand. Like many people in that era, they wanted to work hard to have a better future.

But fate always played tricks on people.

They worked hard to buy a house in the city, but due to various reasons, they were forced to go back to their hometown in the end, resigned to their fate, and lived a stable life.

Wu Chen was an ordinary person who came out of an ordinary family: no wonder!

Li Ruotai didn’t believe a single word of what Wu Chen just said!

Liar!

Ordinary people could know so much information like fortune-telling?

Ordinary people could gamble better than the top players from the casino?

Ordinary people cut off hands without blinking an eye?

In fact, Wu Chen didn’t lie. Before “yesterday”, that was, before July 7, 2020, he was an ordinary person. If he hadn’t passed July 7 365,000 times, then he would still be an ordinary person today.

“Brother-in-law, did you live alone when you were in high school? Didn’t your uncle and aunt accompany you?” Li Ruotai asked again, unwilling to give up.

“No.” Wu Chen continued, “I also have a younger sister who is five years younger than me. Someone has to take care of her. The ramen restaurant at home can’t be closed, so she has to live with them. I was fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, so there was nothing wrong with me living alone. I pay living expenses, I won’t starve to death. What is there to be afraid of.”

Li Ruotai still didn’t believe it!

Whoever believed that was an idiot!

It couldn’t be so ordinary!

At this moment, the more ordinary Wu Chen described his family situation, the more problematic Wu Chen seemed to Li Ruotai! He would definitely investigate Wu Chen, and Wu Chen also knew that Li Ruotai would definitely investigate him.

However, check it out! Wu Chen was not afraid of being investigated!

If Li Ruotai could really find out where Wu Chen lied and concealed some great background, then he would really be damned!

But it’s all true.

“Brother-in-law’s gambling skills are really good.” Li Ruotai complimented Wu Chen first, and then said, “Who did you learn from? Brother-in-law, can you tell me?”

“Nothing comes to mind.” Wu Chen said casually.

This sentence is a lie, but… except God, no one could find out where Wu Chen’s gambling skills came from, because the time when he learned gambling skills had long since been reset.

“How did the brother-in-law know… those things?” Li Ruotai asked again.

Refers to that information.

“This has to be kept secret.” Wu Chen smiled mysteriously.

“Okay, how about you check the household registration book?” Li Ruobing said, not allowing Li Ruotai to ask, because the question was too much. Li Ruobing knew that Wu Chen was an information businessman, so he definitely couldn’t say it.

Boom!

There was a knock on the door, and the door opened without a response. It was the waiter who came to serve the food.

French western food, steak, foie gras, pumpkin corn soup, and some desserts.

They had a very pleasant lunch, and they chatted a little while eating, so they got to know each other better.

After the meal, the three of them left the restaurant together but got into different cars.

Wu Chen and Li Ruobing went straight back to the Symphony Fashion Company, while Li Ruotai wanted to go back to the Crown Club.

Wu Chen, who was sitting in the back row of the Maybach, first tilted his head to look at the rearview mirror, then turned his head and looked out the rear window. Li Ruobing didn’t know what Wu Chen was looking at, so she also looked back. There were a lot of cars on the road, and there were bodyguards’ cars behind them. It seemed that there was nothing to see.

“What? Can’t bear my brother? I can’t see him because he’s too far away.” Li Ruobing teased. With her character, she wouldn’t tease people unless she was familiar enough with them.

In the past half a day, the relationship between the two could be said to have progressed by leaps and bounds.

“Nothing.” Wu Chen replied with a smile.

In fact, he discovered that there was a car following him!

And he already knew who was following!

In the corridor of the restaurant before, that person was wearing a peaked cap, Wu Chen couldn’t see his face clearly, so he didn’t know who it was.

But people may be good at disguising, but cars were not so good. Wu Chen was too familiar with Donghai. He recognized the very low-key black Volkswagen that was following behind.

The bodyguard sitting in the front co-pilot suddenly pressed the earphone of the intercom, listened carefully, and replied in a low voice, “I see them.”

Then he turned to Li Ruobing and said, “Boss, a report from the car behind. There is a car following us.”
