“Li Zhengye, explain yourself! What exactly is going on here?”

Su Anran's almond-shaped eyes widened as she shouted at Li Zhengye.

"President Su, I… it's not what you think. Actually…"

Cold sweat streamed down Li Zhengye's forehead as he stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Yang Zhen already understood what was happening.

Clearly, the company had issued his compensation.

Li Zhengye had pocketed it.

Su Anran grew impatient with Li Zhengye’s pathetic attempt to cover things up.

"Li Zhengye, you don't need to say anything more. Starting today, you're fired."

"As for where the money went, the company's legal department will investigate. Prepare to cooperate!"

Li Zhengye panicked.

If the legal department got involved, he wouldn't just lose his job; he could go to jail!

"President Su, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong! I admit I took the money!"

Li Zhengye finally confessed, weeping with tears and snot. "President Su, please give me another chance. I'll turn over a new leaf."

Su Anran snorted coldly. "Don't tell me that. Plead your case with the legal department!"

Seeing Su Anran's businesslike demeanor, Li Zhengye's heart sank.

But then he caught sight of Yang Zhen, and hope flickered within him.

With a thud, he knelt before Yang Zhen, clutching his leg and begging.

"Yang Zhen, no, Senior Brother, you know it wasn't easy for me to get where I am today."

"For the sake of our years of friendship, please put in a good word for me with President Su. I'm begging you!"

In just a few minutes, Li Zhengye had gone from arrogant and domineering to a pathetic stray dog.

Yang Zhen said calmly, "We do have many years of friendship, and we've been through a lot together. Maybe I really shouldn't hand you over to the legal department."

Li Zhengye perked up at those words.

"That's right, Senior Brother, think about how good our relationship used to be. As long as you're willing to help me this time, I'll definitely reform, and you'll be my big brother forever!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Yang Zhen's eyes as he said coldly,

"You misunderstand. I mean, handing you over to the legal department is too easy on you. What I should do is kick you off this building!"

The sixteenth floor, hundreds of feet high. A fall would certainly be fatal.

Li Zhengye's vision went black, and he nearly fainted.

"Yang Zhen, you've ruined my future! I'll kill you!"

In despair, Li Zhengye jumped up and lunged at Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen didn't even flinch, kicking Li Zhengye away.

He had always known that people like Li Zhengye were inherently vile.

Even in death, he would never repent!

The security guards who had rushed over at the news dragged Li Zhengye away.

Su Anran said apologetically, "I'm sorry, benefactor. Our mistake caused you inconvenience. I apologize on behalf of the company."

Yang Zhen shook his head. "Don't call me benefactor all the time. My name is Yang Zhen, and it's not your fault. Forget the apology, just give me my compensation."

"Okay, I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you immediately!"

Afterward, Yang Zhen learned that Su Anran had been frantic after he left.

He had saved her child's life, and she hadn't even had a chance to thank him.

She had used the company's surveillance cameras to find Yang Zhen, which led to the scene just now.

Yang Zhen asked, "Is the child alright?"

Su Anran said gratefully, "Thanks to you, Mr. Yang, Xiao Can is fine. He probably fell asleep from crying."

"Well, that's good."

Yang Zhen nodded.

At that moment, his phone rang. It was a text message from the bank, informing him that the compensation had been transferred to his account.

But after seeing the amount, Yang Zhen frowned slightly.

"President Su, why did you transfer two hundred thousand? My compensation was only one hundred thousand. Did the finance department make a mistake?"

Su Anran said with a smile, "There's no mistake, Mr. Yang. As a token of our gratitude, the other hundred thousand is from me personally!"

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

Yang Zhen accepted the money without hesitation.

It was only natural to charge for treating illnesses, especially since Yang Zhen was currently in desperate need of money.

Just then, Yang Zhen's phone rang again. It was Su Anran calling.

"Yang Zhen, come to the hospital right away. The patient's family is asking us for medical expenses again!"

"The patient's family?"

Yang Zhen was a little confused at first, but then he realized that she must be referring to the unlucky guy he had run into.

After finding out which hospital it was, Yang Zhen hung up.

"I'm sorry, President Su, I have something to attend to. I'll take my leave now."

Su Anran overheard Yang Zhen's phone call and said, "You're going to the hospital? I need to take Xiao Can to the hospital for a checkup too. I'll give you a ride."

Yang Zhen thought that it was a good idea, so he agreed.

After arriving at the hospital, Yang Zhen parted ways with Su Anran and her son and headed to the inpatient department.

In the hallway of the inpatient department,

Lin Xiaoyin was waiting anxiously for Yang Zhen.

Standing next to her was a woman who bore a resemblance to her; it was her younger sister, Lin Xiaolan.

Lin Xiaoyin had asked her sister to come with her because she didn't have much money, and she couldn't count on Yang Zhen.

So she had to ask her sister to pay the medical expenses in advance.

Lin Xiaolan asked, "Sis, weren't the medical expenses always settled at the end of the month? Why is it being settled half a month early this time?"

"It's probably because of Cao Dapeng…"

Lin Xiaoyin was in a bad mood, and even her voice sounded weak.

"Wasn't Cao Dapeng treating you pretty well? What exactly happened?"

Lin Xiaolan didn't know what had happened to Lin Xiaoyin.

Lin Xiaoyin reluctantly explained everything from beginning to end.

After hearing it, Lin Xiaolan's eyebrows shot up in anger, and she gritted her teeth.

"This Yang Zhen, why is he causing trouble as soon as he wakes up? He's better off never waking up and just sleeping forever!"

Lin Xiaoyin was stunned. She didn't expect her sister to blame Yang Zhen in that situation.

Cao Dapeng, that beast, had tried to rape her!

But after thinking about it, she didn't say much.

"Forget it, don't scold Yang Zhen anymore. I've already decided to divorce him."

Lin Xiaolan agreed with this decision wholeheartedly.

"Divorcing him is the right thing to do. You should have been with Cao Dapeng a long time ago!"

Lin Xiaoyin looked at her sister in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? What does my divorce have to do with Cao Dapeng? Besides, he's married. Don't talk nonsense!"

Lin Xiaolan didn't care at all. "In this day and age, what does it matter if someone's married or not? It's true love if someone has the money to support you."

Lin Xiaoyin was helpless with her sister.

"Alright, stop talking. Yang Zhen's here."

As soon as Yang Zhen arrived, Lin Xiaolan became sarcastic.

"Oh, so you know to come? I thought you were going to push everything onto my sister."

Yang Zhen felt guilty. "I'm sorry. I'll do my best to take responsibility for everything from now on."

Lin Xiaolan sneered.

"Hmph, what's the use of saying sorry now? Can your apologies be used as money? A good-for-nothing who can't even afford medical expenses, what gives you the confidence to say you'll take responsibility for everything?"

Yang Zhen stared coldly at Lin Xiaolan. If she weren't his wife's sister, he would have slapped her across the face!
