Free Web NovelChapter 1320: Chapter 1319
Lin Fan said, "I don’t think I told you, Uncle, that I studied medicine, so I’m quite observant. Although you’re trying hard to act normal, your complexion has betrayed you. You’re injured."
Uncle was taken aback. Lin Fan was a doctor.
"I couldn’t tell that the young fellow, being so young, is actually a doctor. You’re able to easily identify my injury; your medical skills must be quite good." Uncle said.
Lin Fan replied, "It’s passable. Uncle, do you mind telling me why you and your friend were talking so intensely?"
Uncle chuckled and said, "It’s nothing. We’re old friends, just sparring a bit."
Lin Fan asked, "So are you done sparring, or do you still want to continue?"
Uncle said, "Done. We’re just catching up, I can’t move anymore."
Lin Fan replied, "I think not, Uncle. You seem quite tense. Sorry, as a medical student, I enjoy observing patients’ demeanor."
Uncle saw that Lin Fan hadn’t bought his story and didn’t want him to keep asking, so he replied in a deep voice, "Young man, sometimes it’s best not to interfere in certain matters. One thing I can assure you, nothing will happen. Alright, I’m a bit tired, I want to take a nap."
After saying this, Uncle decided not to pay any more attention to Lin Fan, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes.
He indeed seemed a bit tired, and soon, the sound of snoring could be heard.
He definitely wasn’t catching up with old friends; he’d actually been fighting with someone just now and got injured by them.
As for why he was fighting or who he was fighting with, Lin Fan had no idea.
But since Uncle said nothing more would happen, Lin Fan believed him for the time being. Perhaps there was indeed some trouble earlier, but it’s been resolved by Uncle.
At this time, a flight attendant walked down the aisle. Having just taken a nap on the plane, Lin Fan was feeling a bit thirsty, so he turned and called the flight attendant, smiling, "Excuse me, could I have a bottle of water?"
The flight attendant smiled and nodded, "Sure, sir. Please wait a moment, I’ll get it for you right away."
After saying this, the flight attendant walked away.
As Lin Fan turned to speak to the flight attendant, he suddenly noticed something unusual. If he hadn’t asked the flight attendant for water, he might not have noticed.
But coincidentally, Lin Fan noticed this anomaly precisely because he turned his head to speak to the flight attendant.
Just a short distance behind their seats, someone was staring at Uncle!
Though the person quickly turned away when Lin Fan turned his head to speak to the flight attendant, fearing detection.
Still, he couldn’t escape Lin Fan’s notice.
Even though Lin Fan noticed this person, he acted as if he hadn’t, turning his head back after the flight attendant walked away.
Who was this person, and why were they staring at Uncle?
This was the question in Lin Fan’s mind at the moment.
There was currently no answer to this question, but Lin Fan had marked this person for further observation.
It seemed that Uncle’s assertion that everything was fine was likely wishful thinking. Regardless of what it was, it didn’t seem to be over yet.
Before long, the flight attendant returned and handed Lin Fan a bottle of water.
The reason this flight attendant was moving through the aisle at this time was that the surrounding passengers were gradually waking up. Lin Fan checked his watch and realized that it was almost dinner time without him noticing.
The passengers were also getting up and moving around.
Lin Fan opened the bottle cap, took several sips of water, and relieved his thirst. While drinking, he casually glanced around the surroundings.
Lin Fan saw that the person who had been watching Uncle had already stood up and was walking towards the restroom.
Since this person had turned their back, Lin Fan safely observed him. The person was a man of average build, dressed in clothing that indicated he was incredibly ordinary, just another regular passenger.
With everyone moving around and the flight attendants busy preparing lunch boxes, Uncle on the side had fallen asleep. It seemed he felt he had resolved a problem and could finally sleep peacefully.
Lin Fan was speechless. No matter what trouble Uncle encountered, it seemed his problems hadn’t been solved; he was too quick to feel at ease.
"How are you walking, without wearing glasses?"
Suddenly, a shout rang out behind him.
Everyone looked over to see a middle-aged woman with an annoyed expression, pointing to a girl and scolding.
It turned out the young girl accidentally bumped into the middle-aged woman, stepping on her shoe, which irritated the middle-aged woman.
The young girl wasn’t in a good mood, either. Seeing the middle-aged woman scolding her, she was displeased.
"Sorry, I didn’t notice." The young girl said, although she apologized, her tone lacked sincerity.
The middle-aged woman grew angrier, "Young girls these days, seriously, lack any proper upbringing. You stepped on my foot; can’t I say something to you?"
The young girl replied, "Auntie, that’s enough. I’ve apologized, what more do you want? Do you want me to kneel?"
The middle-aged woman said, "If you really kneel for me, I can accept it. Go ahead and kneel!"
The young girl sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you deserve it?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The middle-aged woman was furious, "What did you say?"
The young girl said, "I said, you expect me to kneel to apologize? Do you deserve it? Look at who you are. Do you think you’re a princess, a queen? I just accidentally bumped you; is it necessary?"
The middle-aged woman shouted, "What’s your attitude? You bumped into me, you’re in the wrong. Do you think your apology is sincere? Your attitude shows a lack of upbringing!"
Seeing the argument escalate, a flight attendant quickly went over to mediate, "Ladies, this is a public setting; please speak calmly and avoid arguing loudly, disturbing other passengers."
The middle-aged woman said, "You’ve come at the right time. Judge this for me; she stepped on my foot, I asked for an apology, and she refused!"
"I didn’t refuse. I said sorry already. It’s you being petty and nagging," the young girl retorted. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
As the two were about to argue again, the middle-aged woman even pushed the young girl, causing chaos.
At that moment, another flight attendant walked over from the direction of the cockpit, different from those preparing dinner as she had nothing in her hand.
This flight attendant went directly to Uncle, saw he was asleep, and gently nudged him.
"Sir, please wake up," she called softly.
Uncle quickly woke up and looked at the flight attendant.
The flight attendant said, "Sir, kindly follow me."
Uncle seemed to realize something was up and immediately stood up, following the flight attendant toward the cockpit.
Lin Fan looked around and saw the middle-aged woman and young girl still arguing intensely, attracting everyone’s attention.
Lin Fan inconspicuously stood up and followed behind Uncle, heading toward the cockpit.
