“Fire me?” Guo Danu was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, “Director, you must be mistaken. On what grounds are you firing me?”

“To keep something hidden, one must first not do it. Old Guo, the things you’ve done, the hospital already knows.”

Guo Danu was even more confused. “Director, what exactly have I done?”

“Old Guo, some things lose their meaning if spelled out.”

Guo Danu shouted, “Director, you must explain this to me clearly. I’ve worked hard at this hospital for so many years. Even if I haven’t achieved great things, I’ve put in a lot of effort. Why are you firing me?”

Ye Qiu, listening nearby, was taken aback. The hospital was firing Guo Danu? This was too sudden.

“Guo Danu, since you insist on knowing, I’ll tell you straight. From the day you joined the hospital, you’ve been accepting red envelopes from patients. The hospital even reprimanded you for it once, but you didn’t change your ways. After becoming the Executive Vice President, you became even more brazen.”

“According to anonymous reports, in just the past two years, you’ve received over four million in red envelopes, not to mention countless luxury cigarettes, wines, and watches.”

Cold sweat broke out on Guo Danu’s forehead. He hurriedly said, “Director, don’t believe what others say. This is all slander.”

“I knew you’d try to argue. Fine, let’s not talk about the red envelopes. Your conduct is also a big issue. We know about your affair with the head nurse of the internal medicine department.”

Boom!

Guo Danu’s mind went blank, as if struck by lightning.

He couldn’t understand how the hospital knew about his secret affair with the head nurse.

“Old Guo, I’m telling you, you’re not a decent person. That head nurse had two abortions because of you. In today’s terms, you’re a scumbag.”

“Director, even if my conduct is questionable, it doesn’t warrant firing me. I can step down as Executive Vice President, but let me stay in the hospital, please?”

“Old Guo, don’t you get it? I’m just a director, only half a rank above you. I don’t have the authority to fire you. It’s the higher-ups who want you gone.”

“The higher-ups? You mean the Health Bureau?”

“I don’t know who it was, but twenty minutes ago, someone submitted a report to the higher-ups, detailing every single one of your misdeeds, with solid evidence.”

The director continued, “Besides your conduct issues, your financial problems are severe. You’ve also been guilty of nepotism and corruption in personnel arrangements. The higher-ups have all the evidence.”

“And the worst part is, your lover, the head nurse, reported you by name.”

“What?” Guo Danu couldn’t believe it. “I treated her so well. Why would she report me?”

“Come on, you made her have two abortions. You call that treating her well? Don’t forget, she has a family.”

“Director, is there any way… I beg you…”

“Sigh, Old Guo, take care of yourself.”

Click!

The call ended.

Guo Danu stood there, dumbfounded.

He had worked tirelessly for decades, finally climbing to the position of Executive Vice President at Jiangzhou Hospital, wielding significant power and enjoying great prestige.

Moreover, the director had been in poor health and often on leave, leaving most hospital matters in Guo Danu’s hands.

Not long ago, Guo Danu had even sought information from his old superior, who hinted that once the director retired, Guo Danu would take over.

Who could have guessed that in such a short time, he would be fired, his decades of effort gone to waste?

For a moment, Guo Danu felt a chill all over his body.

Just then, Ye Qiu’s voice sounded beside him, laughing, “Vice President Guo, didn’t I say that those who do evil will meet their end? People who do too many bad things will eventually face retribution.”

Guo Danu snapped back to reality, pointing at Ye Qiu and shouting angrily, “I know it was you who reported me! It must be you! I’ll… I’ll kill you!”

Guo Danu’s face twisted with rage as he lunged at Ye Qiu.

But just as he moved, his phone rang again.

Guo Danu stopped in his tracks and glanced at his phone. It was a WeChat video call from his wife.

“Hmph, I’ll deal with you later.”

Guo Danu spat a harsh word at Ye Qiu, then answered the video call. “Wife, where are you? Who are you with? What are you doing?”

“Hahaha, can’t you see what we’re doing?”

From Ye Qiu’s angle, he could see a mature woman with her legs wrapped around a muscular young man’s waist, both panting heavily.

Anyone with basic knowledge of human biology could guess what they were doing.

“You bitch! How dare you cheat on me with another man? I’ll… I’ll kill you!”

“Want to kill me? Hahaha, come on then. I’m abroad right now,” Guo Danu’s wife laughed.

“Why did you betray me?”

“You have the nerve to ask why? With your little toothpick that can’t last five seconds, you’ve made me live like a widow for years. It’s a miracle I only cheated on you now.”

“You—”

“I called to tell you that I’ve transferred all the money you had in foreign banks and sold the villa in Jiangzhou. From now on, we’re done.”

“You bitch, I—”

Before Guo Danu could finish cursing, the video call ended.

Smash!

Guo Danu threw his phone to the ground in fury, cursing, “Bitch! Using my money to find a lover, I’ll never forgive you!”

Ye Qiu mocked, “Vice President Guo, are you having a bad year? First, your son died, then you got fired, and now your wife is cheating on you. Your life is truly colorful!”

“You bastard, I’ll kill you.”

Before Guo Danu could finish his words, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

…

At the same time, in a high-end private hospital in Jiangzhou.

Zhou Hao, Li Qiancheng, and Feng Youling were plotting.

“Youling, how is Young Master Xiao?” Zhou Hao asked.

Feng Youling leaned against the hospital bed and said in a deep voice, “Young Master Xiao’s legs are crippled. The experts say he’ll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”

“What?”

Zhou Hao and Li Qiancheng were shocked.

Although they had suspected Xiao Qingdi’s legs might be crippled on the night of the incident, hearing it confirmed by Feng Youling was still shocking.

Feng Youling continued, “Young Master Xiao is very angry and has ordered us to kill Ye Qiu. If we don’t, he’ll kill us.”

“Ye Qiu is so skilled. It’s too difficult to kill him,” Zhou Hao said, frowning.

“I’ve already thought of a way,” Feng Youling said. “While killing Ye Qiu is hard, killing someone else is much easier.”

Zhou Hao immediately understood and was shocked. “You mean Lin Jingzhi?”

“Exactly,” Feng Youling said with a murderous glint in his eyes. “First, we’ll kill Lin Jingzhi, then Ye Qiu!”
