"Who said... I liked her."
"Not like her? Never mind then, I’ll have my wife tell Huo Yishan that you really hate her and that she should never speak to you again."
"Qin Sijue! Don’t go too far! I never said I didn’t like her!"
"So are you in or not?"
Li Yuan hesitated for half a second, "I’m in!"
Qin Sijue’s lips curled, "Hurry up then."
Looking at the hung-up call, it took Li Yuan several seconds to recover.
Why did he say that phrase?
"I never said I didn’t like her?" as though he liked her?
Standing there, Li Yuan muttered to himself.
Since when did he start liking Huo Yishan?
Although... she does look kinda cute when she’s angry, and a bit ugly when she cries...
Then, her lips seemed a bit soft... hmm... the taste seemed not bad at all...
But did that mean he liked her?
Speaking of which, lately, Huo Yishan’s image kept popping into his head, even in his dreams—
The hospital’s logistics staff called out several times, but he didn’t respond and was standing there with his head down, as if deep in thought.
Especially given that his face was clearly smitten...
At the third shout, the logistics staff couldn’t help but raise their voice.
Startled by the shout, Li Yuan looked up at the staff, "Why are you yelling so loud? I’m not deaf!"
"I’ve called you several times already, but you didn’t respond, and you looked like you were about to burst into spring."
"Is your spring about to begin?"
His thoughts having been guessed, Li Yuan instantly felt his authority as the dean slipping away and sternly retorted, "Which department are you from? What’s your name? Do you still want to work here?"
The employee immediately swallowed nervously and lowered his head, "I do."
Li Yuan glanced at him, with a look that said he knew his place.
"Right, last night the elevator lost power because someone turned off the electricity."
After the jokes, getting back to the topic, that staff member also had a serious look on their face.
Li Yuan furrowed his brows, "The electricity was turned off?"
"Uh, that’s unclear, there’s no camera in the control room."
Li Yuan paused for a few seconds, didn’t speak, but turned around and went back to the surveillance room.
Following the time Qin Sijue had specified, he retrieved the elevator’s 7:52 pm descent to the first floor.
When he saw who was standing inside, Li Yuan widened his eyes.
But he couldn’t distinguish the truth of the matter, but rather why, during the time Qin Sijue had mentioned, Nangong Feifei happened to be the one standing in the elevator?
Looking at the video footage, in the next instant, Li Yuan immediately called Qin Sijue.
"Hello? The person you told me to look for in the elevator going down at that time was Nangong Feifei! What’s going on? What are you investigating?" Although he didn’t understand why he was investigating this, there must be an absolute reason.
On the other end, hearing Li Yuan’s answer, Qin Sijue’s dark eyes slightly narrowed, and in his hand, he was holding a pink pearl bead.
Still without getting an answer, he heard the ’beep’ of the call being disconnected.
Looking at the cut-off call again, Li Yuan couldn’t help but explode with a curse, yelling at the phone, "Will it kill you to explain?"
In the surveillance room, the staff, overhearing his loud curse, all cast perplexed glances.
"Watch your damn business and work properly, or else watch out—I’ll fry your squids!"
Meeting the eyes of two staff members, Li Yuan pretended to sternly scold them, then turned and left the surveillance room.
