Chapter 1: The Office's Unspoken Rules...

  "At that time I really had no choice..."

  Zhang Lanfeng explained with a bitter face.

  "Yang Zongbao has a way to help me, what right do you have to give him attitude? Who do you think you are? You helped me back then, now I'm not in this situation anymore."

  Mei's warm words were merciless and left Zhang Lanfeng speechless.

  "It's warm when you say it." Ma Xiaojian on the side also felt awkward.

  "Hmph." Mei Wenxin stood tall, looking down on him: "I just let him recognize himself. Don't always think that the whole world owes him. The earth doesn't revolve around him." Mei Wenxin couldn't stand Zhang Lanfeng's victimized expression. This matter, to sum it up, he didn't get what he never had in the first place, what was there to complain about?

  "Let's just drop it, aren't we all friends?" Yu Tie Nan mediated between the two.

  "Then you are here to repay a debt of gratitude..." Zhang Lanfeng mustered up his last bit of hope.

  "No, I really like him."

  Mei Wenxi in the yard of Yu Jia Lao Yezi announced to everyone her feelings for Yang Zongbao. The three men in the middle of the yard were shocked, their faces pale and their hearts racing.

  "Good, good, good! Young people should be passionate like this!" Old Master Yu appeared out of nowhere.

  "Grandpa, don't make trouble." Yu Tiennan pulled his grandfather from behind.

  "What's going on? Can I still cause trouble at my age? A bunch of useless people." The old man went into the house, unhappy, to help Yang Zongbao with the inspection.

  "I'm telling you, Yang Zongbao, the smell on your body can marinate stinky tofu."

  The old man wrinkled his nose and eyebrows as soon as he entered the house.

  "I also want to take a bath, but it's not like a woman can help me wash, right?" Yang Zongbao said with an innocent and pitiful face.

  "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't she your wife?"

  "No, I'm very innocent." Yang Zongbao was addicted to acting.

  "Fart, you're so innocent? One 24-hour attendant by your side, one with a face that even makes an old man like me excited to see you. Your face is quite big. Where did you get that fairy from?"

  "Aren't you supposed to be as cautious as jade? Why ask so many questions?" Yang Zongbao found the old man's pig-like face quite pleasing.

  Inside the house, Old Master Yu pricked up his ears to listen to the commotion outside: "I'm telling you, Yang Zongbao, you really have skills."

  "Polite." Yang Zongbao took it as a compliment.

  "But anyway, what about your lawsuit? Aren't there surveillance cameras in the hospital's operating room? How come they can't be retrieved?" The old man put away his joking tone and spoke seriously.

  "They even altered the medical records, how could they have left such obvious evidence?" Yang Zongbao said with a sneer.

  "What will you do then?"

  "Autopsy." Yang Zongbao said in a low voice.

  "This is difficult to handle, there are specialized coroners for autopsies, who can you find? Besides, it's been so long, the autopsy report has already come out..." The old man said worriedly.

  "I know. The result was a patient's asphyxial death due to an overdose of anaesthetic."

  "How did you know?" The old man was surprised at Yang Zongbao's knowledge of the news.

  "My apprentice did it."

  "You're telling me the truth, aren't you? You're not afraid I'll turn against you?" Old Master Yu narrowed his eyes.

  "You saved my lungs."

  "Alright, I'll give you another chance. The forensic expert Xie Shaohua from the Provincial Bureau's Accident Inspection Center is my apprentice. The victim's body is currently there with them. The autopsy report has already come out as you know, and the responsibility lies entirely with you. However, you can sneak in and redo the autopsy. But the person who issues the report, you'll have to find yourself. This involves many problems, Shaohua won't be able to show up."

  "What position is he in? As far as I know, there's no way to get into the accident inspection center without a work permit." Yang Zongbao asked.

  "Ordinarily, Xiao Fa would be on duty there tonight. But we need someone who can provide a certificate, can you find one?"

  "Can I move with this injury?" Yang looked at himself suspiciously as he was being carried like a rice dumpling.

  "Of course, as long as you don't engage in strenuous exercise." Old Master Yu stroked his nonexistent beard with an air of profundity.

  "Have you been teasing me all these days?" Yang Zongbao dragged on the tone.

  "What nonsense are you kids talking about? You've been lying in bed for 10 days, and that girl outside has taken care of you for 10 days. Don't you feel great? This is all thanks to my old man's efforts." The old man was extremely pleased with himself.

  Yang Zongbao struggled to sit up, "Old man, what are you trying to do? But I really don't know anyone, if I had to say someone with authority, it would be you..." Yang Zongbao said with an innocent and hopeful gaze at the old man.

  "Don't look at me? I won't be able to handle it." Mr. Yu hastily waved his hands, afraid of getting into trouble.

  "Old master, can you bear to see me thrown into prison and spend the rest of my life behind iron bars?"

  "Is it really as exaggerated as you said?" The old man couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

  "To be honest, old master, why don't we make a deal?" Yang Zongbao paused and continued: "I'll give Yu Tiannan a good future, but the premise is that he must strive for it himself."

  "Oh? Let's hear it?" The old man didn't think Yang Zongbao could really offer any prospects, but he might as well listen.

  "Have you ever heard of Seattle's St. Mary's Hospital?" Yang Zongbao asked.

  "Seattle's St. Mary's Hospital?" The old man thought for a moment: "That's a world-class hospital, what are you asking this for?" After finishing speaking, the old man noticed that Yang Zongbao's face had an unusual color to it.

  "I can get Yu Tie Nan to go over and study."

  "You……" Yang Zongbao's answer was completely beyond Old Master's expectation, and he was so surprised that his mouth couldn't be closed. This Yang Zongbao didn't seem to be bragging at all. But no matter how hard the old master tried, he couldn't connect the man in front of him with that world-renowned hospital. The two seemed to have nothing in common. Seattle St. Mary's Hospital is a place that every medical student should know, it's one of the lighthouses of world medicine. It has the most advanced technology, the strongest medical team, and every year there will be one or two medical achievements that affect the world.

  "I can get him to accept your grandson and let him go learn."

  "You're kidding? If you really had this ability, you wouldn't be unable to solve your current problems."

  "It's out of reach, besides it's troublesome." Yang Zongbao stretched his limbs.

  "Alright, I agree."

  "The old man is delighted."

  The two of them had made their deal and were now waiting for nightfall.

  Many things need to be done under the cover of night.

  When the sun had completely set below the horizon, Yu Tie Nan was deceived by these old and weak people onto a vehicle, which took them to the Provincial Bureau Inspection Center.

  "What are you doing here?" Yu Tie Nan found it unbelievable and didn't know what the two of them were up to.

  "You wait here and drive quickly once you see us come out." The old man instructed, then led Yang Zongbao into the gate.

  But when I walked to a place similar to the subway ticket checking device, I was stopped by security.

  "Hello, please show your identification."

  "We're here looking for someone." The old man was still calm.

  "Who are you looking for?" The security guard continued to ask.

  Xiang Shaohua.

  "Item Fangyi, ah? He's on duty today, I'm just letting you all know."

  After about three minutes.

  A man who looked like a Mediterranean version of Xiǎo Huá walked out from inside.

  "Teacher, you've come?"

  "Uh-huh."

  The security guard was quite nice and let Yang Zongbao and his group in directly.

  "The body is on the second floor, but you have to hurry. Fortunately, you arrived in time. I don't know why they requested cremation for tomorrow upstairs." Xiang Shaohua said while walking, without delaying any further.

  "Alright," the old man replied.

  "Who among you is prepared for an autopsy?" Xiang Shao Hua remembered that the teacher had said he would bring someone over to verify, but apart from a young man with injuries all over his body standing next to the teacher, there was no one else, so he asked this question.

  "I'll go myself."

  Lao Ye Zi's answer shocked Xiang Shao Hua. Lao Ye Zi hadn't done something like this in a long time. Back then, he had left the provincial medical accident appraisal group because he refused to collude with those above. Now that he was taking up his scalpel again, there must be some reason behind it.

  Xiang Shaohua thought to himself but didn't say out loud: "It's better if there's proof, after all the teacher was the head of the medical appraisal team back then."

  "Stop flattering me, can't you? The old man obviously didn't buy this flattery."

  "Heh heh, arrived, just here......" Xiang Shao Hua pushed open a door to a room, but suddenly discovered that inside were not only one corpse.

  "Who are you?" Xiang Shao Hua asked.

  "We were sent here to help the family of the deceased with the cremation." one of them replied.

  "I was on duty today and didn't receive any notification," said Xiang Shaohua.

  Yang Zongbao and Old Master exchanged a glance.

  Only then did the old man rush out when Xiang Shao Hua asked his second question, and his posture didn't show any signs of age.

  "Where is the nearest autopsy room?" The old man shook off the two people inside, and pushed the cart with the body out of the room.

  "On the 5th floor. The first room on the left, that's where it is most advanced." Xiang Shao Hua was suddenly stunned.

  "Stop them, Yang Zongbao is right behind."

  The old man brushed past him.

  Xiang Shaohua suddenly closed the door behind Old Master and blocked it, then shouted to his departing master with a bit of Dong Chengrui's heroic spirit: "You all go first, I'll come right after."

  Cut the crap, this isn't a scene from Spy vs. Spy, there's no life or death situation, why be so melodramatic, who cares about him? Yang Zongbao was running relatively slowly because his whole body was in pain.

  "Hurry up." The old man pushed the cart into the elevator and shouted at Yang Zongbao: "You old fellow, you're running slower than a turtle."

  "I'm hurt." Yang Zongbao panted heavily.

  "Being injured is no excuse, wait till they catch up, I won't guarantee that I can help you then."

  The old man just liked to see Yang Zongbao eat soft rice, so when he saw Yang Zongbao struggling to speed up, he couldn't help but threaten him repeatedly.

  "Here." When Yang Zongbao finally rolled into the elevator, the door that was blocked by Xiang Shaohua was also knocked open.

  The elevator closed just in time before the people chasing after him arrived.

  Yang Zongbao and Lao Yezi were tense all over. As soon as they reached the 5th floor, they rushed out. Entering the autopsy room, they locked the door from the inside in time and stopped to catch their breath.

  "I told young people to exercise, not fight all day like a ghost. Look now, you've suffered a loss and are tired?" The old man familiarly turned on the light, took out autopsy equipment, and began using an automatic recorder.

  "Is that all?"

  "Alright." Yang Zongbao responded with a sound, walked up, and together with the old man, they moved the corpse onto the autopsy table.

  "Mark time, start."

  The old man didn't waste any words and automatically ignored the knocking sound from outside. Because he had asked Yang Zongbao about it before, he knew the problem was with his heart. So the old man's first move was to stab directly at the heart.
