This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

The bespectacled man opened his mouth, but the ingratiating smile on his face froze and peeled away inch by inch, revealing the ashen undertones beneath.

His Adam's apple bobbed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only managed to squeeze out a dry, unintelligible sentence:

"Section Chief Su...that was all done according to regulations..."

"You did the right thing by following the rules," Su Wan nodded. "But the rules for the hospital I'm opening are meant to serve people, not cause them trouble!"

She turned and walked back to Lin Feng's side.

The bespectacled man stood alone in the corner, his hand still in the same position as when he patted his chest, looking both comical and funny.

His gaze followed Su Wan's retreating figure, then shifted to Lin Feng, when suddenly he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

That's a mountain of gold!

However, the pit next to Jinshan had already been completely occupied by Su Wan and her group, leaving him no gap at all.

Su Wan turned around: "Section Chief Zhou, please continue with the resignation procedures."

Section Chief Zhou glanced at Lin Feng subconsciously—

The human was leaning casually against the table, fiddling with a coin in his hand, his gaze falling indifferently on him.

The gaze wasn't intimidating; it even carried a hint of lazy amusement. But Section Chief Zhou suddenly realized something crucial—

The man's hand didn't even tremble when he took out his money.

A stack of ten thousand ghost coins was piled up in the blink of an eye to form a tower more than a meter high.

If he wanted to, he could just throw 100,000 or 200,000 yuan at the desk of some leader in the institute. Not only would he cause the entire Temporary Personnel Management Section to resign, but he could also replace Section Chief Zhou with his chair and the person in a matter of minutes!

Not only can I not cause any more trouble, but I must also perform well and leave a good impression on the other party.

If this tycoon intends to expand his team and build a new force in the future, my obedience and understanding today might earn me a chance to be recruited, which can be considered as leaving myself a way out.

In just a few seconds, he weighed the pros and cons clearly in his mind.

"No problem, I'll get it done right away!"

Section Chief Zhou quickly adopted a respectful demeanor, hurried back to his workstation, picked up the documents, and began processing them diligently.

........................

Ten minutes later, the group successfully completed all the resignation procedures and walked out of the personnel department with light steps.

Aque walked at the front, clutching the resignation certificate stamped with a red seal in her hand, wishing she could hold it above her head and wave it like a flag.

Old Zhou walked at the very back of the group, his steps steady, but the slight smile at the corner of his mouth wasn't quite hidden.

Just as she was about to step out of the administration building, Su Wan suddenly slowed down and subtly tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve.

Lin Feng understood, paused slightly, and followed her lead, taking two steps to the side and walking behind a pillar on one side of the hall.

Ah Ying and Ah Que walked straight out the gate and waited under the shade of the trees outside.

Su Wan turned to the side and lowered her voice: "Laifu must have already received the news that you cleared the level. According to the usual practice, he is probably already waiting outside the Anning Quadrant Teleportation Hall."

Lin Feng nodded: "Yeah, so we have to tell a little lie."

Su Wan crossed her arms, pinched her chin with her fingertips, and frowned slightly.

"We can't let them catch us red-handed in the teleportation hall, or our entire plan will be ruined."

She thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up:

"How about this—let's say I'm injured and need to stay at Yongsun Hospital for a few days for observation and treatment, that way we can stay with a legitimate reason."

Lin Feng shook his head: "No. If they find out you're injured, they'll definitely rush to Yongshan Hospital to see you, and the lie will be exposed instantly!"

Su Wan pursed her lips and immediately changed direction:

"Well... how about we say that A-Que's family is having a pig-slaughtering feast and invite us to attend? Rural banquets are lively, and since it's far away, it's normal for it to take three or four days to go there and back."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than A-Que, under the shade of a tree outside the door, suddenly let out a loud "Achoo!"

She looked up blankly, glanced around, and muttered suspiciously, "...Who's talking about me behind my back?"

Lin Feng's lips twitched: "Are you sure this lie can withstand a video call? What if they insist on seeing the slaughter scene? Where are we going to conjure up a live pig for them?"

Su Wan sighed and tapped her fingers on her arm twice: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Lin Feng paused for two seconds, his gaze falling on the figures stretching under the shade of the trees outside the door, and suddenly spoke:

"Give them a reason they can't delve into: say... I was urgently recalled by the Dragon Kingdom's Ghost Stories Strategy Team to participate in post-war debriefing and closed-door training, and I need to stay away for a few days. You just happen to be coming along, acting as my assistant, which makes sense."

Su Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a bright light had been lit in the darkness.

"This is great!" She almost instinctively grabbed Lin Feng's arm. "They can't get into the human world, and the closed training doesn't require video conferencing—it's a perfect solution!"

Lin Feng nodded, having already taken out a communicator from his spatial storage. He pressed his thumb on the power button, and as the communicator screen lit up, he glanced at Su Wan.

"Then I'll tell you."

Su Wanchong gestured "please" to him, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

The call was dialed and answered after two rings.

Lai Fu's voice remained as calm and gentle as ever:

"Master, congratulations on clearing the level."

"I have arranged a vehicle and am preparing to head to the Anning Quadrant Teleportation Hall to pick you and Madam Su Wan up."

Lin Feng's voice naturally switched to a slightly tired yet serious tone:

"Laifu, you don't need to go."

"The dungeon just ended here, and the Dragon Kingdom Tales strategy team sent an urgent notice that I need to go back right now for post-battle debriefing and closed training. I might have to stay for a few days."

"Wan'er and I are both fine and uninjured."

"Please tell Ningning and the others back home for me, so they don't make the trip for nothing."

There was less than half a second of silence on the other end of the communicator before Laifu's voice came through again, steady and normal:

"Understood, Master. I will inform the ladies. Please be careful and Madam Su Wan, and contact us immediately if anything happens."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

The moment the communicator screen went dark, Su Wan clenched her fist and pulled it down hard, her lips curving into an uncontrollable smile.

Lin Feng put the communicator back into his spatial storage, turned to look at her, and smiled slightly: "It's done."

Outside the door, Aying was squatting on the ground drawing circles with a twig, Aque was standing next to her stretching, Xiaoren and Xiaolin were discussing what the Tranquility Quadrant looked like, and Lao Zhou was standing at the very edge with his hands behind his back, looking completely at ease.

Ah Que nudged Ah Ying with her elbow, making a sound so quiet that only the two of them could hear it:

"Hey, don't you think Wan-jie and Lin Feng... have a really strong illicit relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Aying's eyes immediately lit up, and she leaned over to whisper in Aque's ear:

"They really do look suspicious. You're a married couple with kids, why are they acting like high school students having a crush?"

Xiao Ren, with her sharp ears, leaned in from behind and chimed in, "What are you two talking about?"

"I told you you have a big head!" A-Que rolled her eyes at him.
