Chapter 401 [Doomed Man]
"You, with that personality, are easily bullied when you’re out!" Zhang Tong looked at Chen Yan helplessly.
At this moment, Chen Yan didn’t find this girl annoying—she had just been warm-hearted, righteous, and kindly stood up for him.
Nowadays, people with that kind of character are becoming rarer.
"Alright, let’s leave it at that."
As he spoke, Chen Yan pointed to the hotel’s main entrance: "I’m heading into the hotel now, thank you for earlier, it was nice meeting you, goodbye."
"Goodbye... hey!" Zhang Tong looked at Chen Yan leaving with disappointment, feeling somewhat helpless.
Am I ugly or something? Why doesn’t he show any interest in me at all?
Even if he has a girlfriend, I’m not looking for anything serious, doesn’t he even want to be friends? He didn’t even ask for my WeChat.
Chen Yan quickly entered the lobby and queued at the front desk to check in, casually turning around and seeing Zhang Tong outside the hotel, making a phone call.
After Chen Yan completed his check-in, he turned around and saw someone had already arrived to pick up Zhang Tong outside the hotel.
A slim girl dressed in what looked like a nurse’s uniform, though it was clearly not from a public hospital, but rather from a chain of private dental clinics.
The two girls embraced warmly at the hotel entrance, and as Chen Yan passed by the floor-to-ceiling window, he suddenly stopped!
He focused his gaze on the two girls outside the main hall.
To be precise, he was staring at Zhang Tong’s female classmate!
The girl who came to pick up Zhang Tong was slim, yet her appearance was slightly less attractive than Zhang Tong’s. But with such a great figure and makeup skills, she could easily be mistaken for a beauty.
However, what caught Chen Yan’s attention was not her appearance or figure, but...
Her luck!
This girl... was shrouded in black aura above her head; upon closer inspection...
It was the fate of impending disaster and death looming overhead!
"This is a big case... but, not easy to handle."
Chen Yan stood in the lobby, looking from a distance at the two figures outside the window.
Heavenly Dao wants her dead, but... I can’t just off her, can I?

Chen Yan walked out of the hotel lobby and came outside.
Nearby, Zhang Tong was chattering to the "doomed" girl, and upon spotting Chen Yan, she suddenly fell silent.
With Chen Yan’s strong physical condition, his hearing was naturally enhanced; even from afar, he heard Zhang Tong talking to her about... himself.
Something about getting hurt, a chance encounter on the train, handsome guy... running into each other again while taking a cab...
These topics.
Chen Yan pretended to have a composed look as he approached, Zhang Tong pursed her lips but still greeted him: "Hi."
Chen Yan nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, the girl next to them glanced at Chen Yan with a strange look, then at Zhang Tong, and then back at Chen Yan again.
The two girls exchanged a quick glance with a meaning probably along the lines of:
Is it him?
Yes, it’s him!
"Have you checked in? Off somewhere?" Zhang Tong asked casually.
Chen Yan replied: "It’s about time for a meal, finding a place to grab a bite, can’t be eating in the hotel, the restaurant at a five-star hotel is too expensive."
He deliberately left a conversational opening, and unsurprisingly, Zhang Tong picked it up: "Ah, perfect, we’re also going to eat, join us? My friend works nearby, she knows the local spots well, saves you from wandering around."
She then deliberately used a friendly tone: "With your honest nature, better not end up in a shady eatery and get ripped off."
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Sure, let’s go together."

The meal was enjoyed at a noodle shop two hundred meters away.
Wuhan’s famous local delicacy, hot dry noodles.
To be honest, Chen Yan didn’t like the dish, not because of regional bias, but he found it too oily, not to his taste.
The two girls were quite excited, though Zhang Tong was genuinely happy, whereas the "doomed girl" seemed to be there for the gossip, egging things on, offering support.
However, by the end of the meal, they had truly gotten to know each other.
Chen Yan learned that the "doomed girl" was named He Lina, a fairly common name.
Their workplace was right next to the hotel, on the same street, only about tens of meters away.
Both were classmates, they were vocational college students, studying medical care.
Zhang Tong came to Wuhan to seek refuge with He Lina and planned to stay at the rented apartment where He Lina was living—it’s nearby, just a ten-minute walk or so, an old rundown neighborhood.
Just regular ordinary people.
The only thing special was He Lina’s impending "accidental death" fate luck.
During the meal, Chen Yan didn’t talk much, maintaining his "nice guy" persona.
In reality, deep down, he was contemplating how to deal with He Lina’s impending "accidental death" fate.
Time was running short, judging by He Lina’s fate luck, her accidental death was likely within two days.

Luck is a very complex thing.
But if described in a simple and straightforward way, it can be imagined as the heavens holding a ledger.
What is meant to be yours, will be yours.
What is not meant to be yours, cannot be yours!
There’s an old saying in Dragon Country: When the King of Hell orders you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep you alive until the fifth watch?
Life spans are naturally recorded in the "ledger" of the Heavenly Dao.
The ledger of the heavens cannot be imbalanced!
If, upon calculation by the heavens, your account is unbalanced... then to settle it, the heavens will have to settle with you!
