Strange things happen, and I drive the evil god mad by chasing debts.

But the male doctor didn't listen at all, still muttering to himself, lost in his own thoughts: "Sigh... I have to find a way, I have to find a way. It can't be my fault, I can't let her die on my operating table... otherwise I'll be fired..."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly let go of Yuan Zhi's hand and, before either of them could react, sprinted down the corridor to the other end.

Yuan Zhi was stunned. This person had appeared and disappeared so suddenly: "What happened to him?"

Shen Qingchan frowned, her lips pressed into a thin line: "He is indeed related to Nie Xiaoxiao's storyline."

Yuan Zhi, oblivious to the situation, asked, "The organ transplant surgery he performed on Nie Xiaoxiao? It failed?"

"That's not all."

Although Yuan Zhi didn't quite understand what Shen Qingchan was thinking, she suddenly realized she was in trouble: "What should I do? The plot has shifted; am I stuck?"

Shen Qingchan reminded him, "Take a look at your current identity card."

Yuan Zhi took out the golden identity card from her pocket, staring in surprise at the changes on it. In the blink of an eye, her identity as "Yuan Xiaoxuan" vanished from the card, replaced by a new one—

Name: Lan Xiaomei

Age: 50

Job title: Cleaning lady

Other information: Dr. Pei Wen's biological mother was a surgeon. Her husband's death dealt her a huge blow. Unable to hold a scalpel anymore, Dr. Lan resigned herself to a life of hardship and became a cleaner at the hospital. Mother and son depended on each other for survival.

Yuan Zhi's eyes widened, somewhat distraught: "I've suddenly become so old!?"

Shen Qingchan suppressed a laugh.

"Aaaaaah, do you have any ideas? I'll pay 50! Even if it's just a game, I want to be a beautiful girl! Aaaaaah! I don't want to be a mother without pain..."

50 is no small sum, but Shen Qingchan shook her head, unable to come up with a solution for the time being.

Yuan Zhi looked at Shen Qingchan with sorrow and sighed, "Has your identity card changed?"

Shen Qingchan's identity card, which had previously been treated as an inanimate object and turned into an [elimination] tool, was still in Bai Ke's hands. She couldn't see any changes, but there were no other reactions on her body: "There shouldn't be any."

Yuan Zhi was on the verge of tears, but Shen Qingchan patted her shoulder to comfort her: "You should be able to leave once you finish that side quest."

Thinking of the clear image of Dr. Pei Wen's face just now, Shen Qingchan roughly guessed that she must have entered another side world.

Yuan Zhi followed behind Shen Qingchan, heartbroken. Shen Qingchan led her down the corridor. The scene here had changed from when she came. The walls were white, the wards were clean, and the doctors and nurses who passed by all looked like normal people.

Yuan Zhi looked around and exclaimed, "Have we entered another world?"

Shen Qingchan: "I guess you can understand it that way."

Shen Qingchan brought Yuan Zhi to ward 444. The ward was empty. Nie Xiaoxiao's name was still on the bedside table, but no one knew where she had gone.

Xiao Dai tugged at Shen Qingchan's pants, gesturing for her to leave the ward. Shen Qingchan, confused, asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Xiao Dai led the way, with Shen Qingchan following behind. Soon, the three of them arrived at the door of an office, where they could vaguely see what was inside through the window.

A long table was filled with people. Apart from the middle-aged man in the middle who was dressed in a suit and tie, everyone else was wearing a white coat. The people in the white coats had their heads down, as if they were being reprimanded. Dr. Pei Wen was also sitting among them. He was hunched over and looked unwell.

Shen Qingchan rummaged through Yuan Zhi's useful gadgets and surprisingly found a bugging device.

Shen Qingchan said enviously, "You had really good teammates before."

The bugging device looked like a small suction cup. After glancing at the instructions, she stuck the suction cup to the office window, and the sounds inside immediately came through the bugging device, very clearly.

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the long table shouted sternly, "What exactly do you mean? How come the surgery failed again? You're all medical students with higher education!"

The doctors present fell silent for a moment. A young doctor sitting to the side spoke up in defense of them: "We've just graduated and don't have much experience... It's normal that we can't do such a complicated surgery."

The middle-aged man, with a cold face, slammed his teacup down on the table with a loud thud, startling the doctors around him into holding their breath.

"Can't you do it? If you can't, then get out!"

After those words were spoken, no one dared to utter a sound.

Shen Qingchan roughly understood that the middle-aged man sitting in the middle must be the owner of this hospital, and the other doctors were responsible for performing surgery on patients.

However, she hadn't seen those doctors in the main storyline.

After a brief silence, the middle-aged man said coldly, his face grim, "We're about to be investigated. You guys better watch yourselves during this time. If you can't perform the surgery, get out of here... Who can perform surgery now?"

The doctors present remained silent until Pei Wen shakily raised his hand, his voice trembling: "I...I can."

The middle-aged man glanced at him: "Are you sure? If something goes wrong, you'll be the only one to bear the consequences."

Pei Wen hesitated for a moment, then his eyes slowly hardened: "I can."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly. He flipped through the documents on the table. Shen Qingchan couldn't tell what they were, but as he looked at them, a smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly said, "So it was for your mother. What a filial son."

After saying that, he looked at the other doctors again, his eyes turning sharp: "Get out of here, you bunch of useless bastards!"

As the meeting ended and the doctors packed up to leave, Shen Qingchan and Yuan Zhi slipped away into the corner.

The office door opened, and the doctors came out one after another, muttering complaints under their breath.

"Is Pei Wen crazy? This lousy hospital is completely unqualified to perform this kind of surgery! They're about to be investigated, how dare he still have the surgery?"

"They're really obsessed with money. But if I leave here, I don't know where else I can go to hospital."

"Given the current market conditions, no private hospital is having an easy time."

……

The doctors left as they spoke.

Shen Qingchan glanced at the side quest progress, which was now at 30%. She still didn't know whether Nie Xiaoxiao was alive or dead.

Shen Qingchan suggested to Yuan Zhi, "Go talk to your son about it. There aren't many doctors right now, so maybe the operating room needs some helpers."

Yuan Zhiwei retorted angrily, "I don't have a son! ...But I'm just a cleaner, how could I possibly go into the operating room to help? Is that so absurd?"

Shen Qingchan reminded her, "Have you forgotten? Your ID card says you used to be a surgeon, but you became a cleaner because you couldn't handle a scalpel anymore."
