Chu Ningyi lowered his head to check the time. He frowned a little. Shui Anluo had already got up from his lap.

“There’s no rush. At this time, Uncle Chu has yet to produce the video.” In truth, this was not the outcome he had hoped for and the current development of Lin Qianchen’s character was beyond his expectations.

If this were someone else, he would not have gotten involved in the matter. However, if it involved Shui Anluo, he could not possibly ignore it.

“Are you going to fire her from her position as the Assistant Head?” Shui Anluo grinned and asked. Lin Qianchen was no goddess. If she could be fired from all positions, that would be the best. Shui Anluo would love to see how she could fling her weight around in the future.

Chu Ningyi looked at Shui Anluo’s cocky little face. He lifted one leg and placed it on top of the other leg, a standard cross-legged stance.

“Remove her from her position as Assistant Head, is that all?” Chu Ningyi asked calmly.

Shui Anluo tilted her head to one side as if thinking it through.

“She only plagiarized so it’s not a big crime, right?” She did not dare think too much about it even though Lin Qianchen would certainly hate her for this. In just a short period of time, slightly more than a month, Lin Qianchen had dropped from being the Head of Department to Assistant Head. Even now, she still could not maintain her position.

However, Shui Anluo was not to blame for that. Previously, Lin Qianchen was the one who had divulged sensitive information and framed her so Lin Qianchen deserved this. This time, she had asked for it too.

“If you were given one power and allowed to come up with any method of punishment for her, what would you do?” Chu Ningyi asked curiously.

“Fire her,” Shui Anluo replied through gritted teeth.

“Alright,” Chu Ningyi suddenly replied.

Huh?

Shui Anluo looked down at him, confused. What does he mean by ‘alright’?

Chu Ningyi lifted the corners of his lips. His eyes were filled with such tenderness that he could drown Shui Anluo with it.

Shui Anluo weakly turned her gaze away. This was too great of a change in Director Chu and she found it difficult to accept.

As Shui Anluo’s little heart began to skip repeatedly, Qiao Yaruan had just found out about what had happened. After she heard what everyone had to say, her temper rose but she could still retain a shred of rationality.

When Qiao Yaruan found Lin Qianchen, she was still on a house call. Qiao Yaruan held her temper as she stood outside the door, waiting for her. At the same time, she made a phone call.

Once Lin Qianchen’s last patient had left, Qiao Yaruan walked in.

Lin Qianchen looked up. She saw Qiao Yaruan and smirked. “What? Does Shui Anluo no longer have the guts to come here so she’s asked you to avenge her instead?”

“Lin Qianchen, I’ve met many shameless people before but I’ve never met anyone quite as shameless as you. You’d plagiarized someone yet you still have the guts to accuse someone else of stealing while you sneak away.” Qiao Yaruan spoke icily and looked down at her wrist to check the time.

“Qiao Yaruan, watch what you say, I can sue you for slander at any time,” Lin Qianchen retorted in a low voice.

“So the report was yours, right? Fine, let’s talk about one of its sources. I assume that one of the techniques mentioned isn’t popular locally. It hasn’t even been mentioned yet, right?” Qiao Yaruan questioned. When she heard footsteps from outside, she smirked. “Right on time.”

A wave of uneasiness appeared in Lin Qianchen’s heart as she followed Qiao Yaruan’s gaze. Who should be walking over but Mo Lusu?

Mo Lusu? Lin Qianchen frowned. What’s he doing here?

Qiao Yaruan curled the corners of her lips and looked rather complacent. Senior Brother was the one who had given Shui Anluo the notes for that report. He would know the contents of that report the best.

“Senior Brother.” Qiao Yaruan grinned as she approached him. “I’m sorry to make you come all the way here.”

Mo Lusu nodded elegantly and looked at Lin Qianchen.

When Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi arrived at the hospital, they found the group standing around Lin Qianchen’s office doorway.

“Senior Brother?” Shui Anluo murmured softly. She had not expected to find her senior brother here.
