Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The Abnormal Vice-Dean Makes a Move, Yun Zhenyue in a Desperate Situation

Soon.

The bleeding from Piao Dagen’s wounds wouldn’t stop.

The crimson beam of light seemed to carry some kind of curse.

No matter what strange medicines from the obstetrics department Han Sumei secretly used, nothing worked.

Piao Dagen’s breathing grew faint.

If left untreated, he definitely wouldn’t live to see the next day.

"Take me to the Vice President!"

"I know him! I’ve done a lot for him. He won’t abandon me!"

At this critical moment, Piao Dagen gritted his teeth. This was his last resort.

As the Midnight Butcher, a contract killer, he went out every night to hunt ghosts, and many ghosts in sensitive positions had commissioned him to eliminate their enemies.

He would then bring the corpses of those enemies back home.

This was why Han Sumei often saw Piao Dagen chopping up meat!

A few years ago, he’d had the fortune of working for the Vice President, helping him dispose of some rivals back when the Vice President was still just an attending physician.

Thanks to Piao Dagen, the Vice President’s path to promotion had been smooth sailing.

It was because of this connection that Piao Dagen dared to sneak into Reincarnation Hospital!

This was his last ace in the hole!

If the Vice President disregarded their past relationship, only death awaited him.

"The Vice President?"

Han Sumei’s heart raced when she heard this.

’If Piao Dagen isn’t lying, this might be my chance to take down Yun Zhenyue!’

Without a moment’s hesitation, the two of them went to the seventh floor and found the Vice President’s office.

Han Sumei supported Piao Dagen.

"Enter."

A cold voice responded to their light knock on the door.

They entered the office one after the other.

Han Sumei saw a skinny old man dressed in crisp, crimson robes.

The old man’s hair was neat, and a lit "ghost cigarette" was held between his fingers. His nails were trimmed with unnerving precision and had a sickly pale sheen. An ID card hung on his chest.

—Vice President, Reincarnation Hospital.

When he saw the dying Piao Dagen, the ghostly Vice President frowned slightly. "Piao Dagen?" he asked, puzzled.

"Why have you come looking for me in the middle of the night? Is something wrong?"

He recognized Piao Dagen and made no attempt to hide it, but his expression was one of displeasure.

He was especially unhappy to see the blood dripping from Piao Dagen’s body, staining his office floor.

"Sir, there is something I must tell you—"

"Someone is using the President’s name to wreak havoc and run scams in the hospital!"

Seeing the Vice President’s expression, Piao Dagen took half a step back, exiting the office. He stood at the doorway and spoke through the pain.

On the way there, Han Sumei had already told him about how Yun Zhenyue had easily completed her missions and how the treatment of the Dragon Country people had improved.

So Piao Dagen decided to use this as his angle.

"What?" The ghostly Vice President looked shocked. "Such a thing is happening?"

He had assumed Piao Dagen was about to ask him for a favor and was already preparing to refuse.

But if it was as he said... someone using the President’s name to do as they please in the hospital...

...then he had to get involved!

The President was away long-term, so he was in charge of all hospital matters, big and small!

If the President found out there was a problem at the hospital, it would be a dereliction of his duty!

He would definitely be punished!

As for suspecting Piao Dagen was lying?

He knew Piao Dagen was a coward by nature. The man wouldn’t dare lie to him even if you gave him a hundred times the nerve!

Piao Dagen then gave Han Sumei a look, prompting her to tell the story.

"Sir, this is my wife. She arrived at the hospital in the same group as that person!"

"She witnessed with her own eyes how that villain Yun Zhenyue deceived the hospital’s doctors."

"Not only that, but she also ignored the President’s orders, barging into the eighth floor and the morgue, and stole important items from the hospital. It’s truly despicable!"

Piao Dagen stepped aside.

Han Sumei seized the opportunity to recount everything Yun Zhenyue had done since arriving at the hospital.

Of course, she couldn’t resist embellishing the story and twisting the truth!

The two of them poured out their grievances, acting as if they had suffered a terrible injustice!

They fabricated an image of an honest man being bullied by a villain.

"So you’re saying you tried to stop all this, but you were injured by that person and almost silenced for good?"

"A panda doll... Hiss... The President does have a similar one. I see!"

"No wonder all the doctors thought she was connected to the President. So she’s an imposter."

The ghostly Vice President’s scalp tingled as he listened.

"Rest assured, I will see that justice is done for you."

"Go to the emergency department now. Reincarnation Hospital will treat you for free!"

Hearing the murderous intent in the ghostly Vice President’s words, Han Sumei and Piao Dagen both trembled with excitement.

Now, they wouldn’t have to lift a finger.

With the ghostly Vice President on their side, wouldn’t killing Yun Zhenyue be a piece of cake?

...

Seeing this unfold, the audience from Dragon Country was furious.

Would these two pests ever stop?

They had framed Yun Zhenyue as a complete villain!

She had never even claimed to have a connection with the President!

Even the change in the ghosts’ attitudes was something they had completely imagined on their own!

As for those two missions, if Han Sumei hadn’t been too scared to go, she would have rushed to take them faster than anyone!

And almost silenced?

Wasn’t he the one who tried to kill Yun Zhenyue to steal her ghost coins?

But amidst their fury, the Dragon Country audience couldn’t help but worry about Yun Zhenyue.

[Damn it, when are these two bastards gonna die!]

[Is there something wrong with this Vice President’s brain? He’s just taking their word for it?]

[The way they told it, anyone who didn’t know better would probably believe them.]

[What’s Piao Dagen’s deal? How does he even know the Vice President?]

[What’s going to happen? Is Yun Zhenyue going to be okay?]

[Sigh~ If only Gu Yuan really did know the President.]

...

「The next day.」

A clamor of voices came from outside.

Yun Zhenyue was woken by the noise.

She got dressed, grabbed the panda doll from the coffee table, and hung it over her shoulder.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw a crowd of people standing below the dormitory building.

There was also a large group of ghosts, all of them looking hostile.

"Hm?"

Yun Zhenyue was baffled, unable to understand what was happening.

Fortunately, Shangguan Mu walked over just then.

The expression on her face was strained, and she was clearly worried.

"Something’s happened, Xiaoyue."

"We’re being kicked out of the dorms."

Yun Zhenyue: "???"

’But wasn’t everything fine last night?’

’I got a job assignment and even completed a hidden mission.’

’How did everything change overnight?’

Yun Zhenyue’s expression grew grim.

Heading downstairs, she saw an unfamiliar ghost standing at the very front of all the other ghosts.

This ghost... was the deputy director of the HR department, the one who had assigned everyone their jobs in the beginning.

"My sincerest apologies. Reincarnation Hospital has made a grave error and arranged things incorrectly."

"All of yesterday’s benefits and privileges are hereby revoked. Please vacate the dormitory immediately."

The ghostly deputy director apologized, seeing Yun Zhenyue’s confused expression.

’What is the ghostly Vice President thinking? It’s obvious this human girl has a connection to the President. But the ghostly Vice President insists she’s an imposter!! So what if she is? The panda doll isn’t fake, is it? It’s the same doll the President has. Even if they’re not really connected, they probably know each other. Giving her some benefits wouldn’t have cost him anything.’

The ghostly deputy director sighed in frustration, then said to Yun Zhenyue, "By the way, miss, the Vice President has requested your presence in his office..."

As soon as he said this, all the Dragon Country players in the crowd grew agitated!

It didn’t matter whether Yun Zhenyue actually had a connection to the President or not!

She had genuinely been looking out for everyone’s best interests.

If she went to the ghostly Vice President’s office all alone...

...who knew what dangers awaited her?
