Chapter 1 Provoked the Dean's Wife

"Aiyowo!" A woman's sharp scream caused a bustle in the lobby of the first floor of the health center.

Several doctors from the first-floor outpatient clinic and the plump Sister Zhang Guiqing, responsible for dispensing medicine, almost immediately rushed over, because they recognized the voice as Liu Jinzhi, the director's wife.

"What happened?" Zhang Guiqing was the first to arrive at the scene, instantly dumbfounded.

"Oh my, Pang Feng, what are you trying to do?" Zhang Guiqing's eyes widened in shock, her hands trembling at the sight before her.

On the ground, two people had fallen together, with Liu Jinzhi underneath... and on top... it was the intern Pang Feng!

The doctors who had been in the outpatient clinic arrived shortly after and were equally astonished, with the most timid dentist, Fong Shaojun, instinctively shrinking back a step.

Doctor Tang Zhijian from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department shouted, "Quick, quick, help them up, hurry!"

While he urged others to help, he made no move to do so himself. How could they possibly help like that? With two people in such a position, it was difficult, especially since Liu Jinzhi was the director's wife. If they didn't do it right, they could be reprimanded by the director later, and there went the month's bonus.

The commotion had thrown Pang Feng into panic. What was going on, who the hell had carelessly thrown a banana peel at the top of the stairs? Falling like that, everything was ruined...

He was acutely aware of his current predicament. How had he fallen together with Sister Liu? His first thought was to get up, to immediately get up, but he couldn't...

Strangely, he felt listless all over, with no strength in his limbs at all, as if he had been soaked in hot water.

"Quick, give me a hand!" Liu Jinzhi finally managed to shout.

Zhang Guiqing finally snapped to action, reaching forward to pull on Pang Feng's arm. She had just lifted Pang Feng's head when she stared at his face and screamed, "He's bleeding!"

With her shout, her grip loosened, and Pang Feng fell down hard again...

The lobby of the health center was thrown into chaos.

...

Pang Feng finally came to his senses. He looked around and realized he was lying on a hospital bed in the yard, with no one around.

He gradually recalled what had happened earlier and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

When it rains it pours, and Pang Feng had a slim chance of being promoted after offending the deputy director in charge of business, Wen Xuebing. And today, he had another run-in with Director Jin's wife, Liu Jinzhi...

"It's over, absolutely over!" Pang Feng felt helpless. Director Jin of the Wugai Town Health Center was notoriously jealous, and everyone privately called his wife Liu Jinzhi "Big-Butt Jinzhi." This woman was also known for her brash behavior, and Pang Feng and the other young hunks were particularly scared of her.

A woman with such vigor, this mature beauty had a fatal attraction for young lads like Pang Feng, who were still in their prime and full of energy. Alas, she was off-limits, the director's forbidden fruit. In the center, no one dared to entertain improper thoughts about Liu Jinzhi. Even the male doctors who talked with her a bit more than necessary would face subtle retaliation later. How could an intern like Pang Feng not fear her?

But now, what to do about this situation?

Pang Feng's mind raced with thoughts. On one hand, he was pessimistic, while on the other, the images of just moments ago replayed in his mind like a movie.

Liu Jinzhi's blushing face and that unforgettable warmth... When their bodies were close, the pleasure Pang Feng felt still hadn't faded entirely...

As for solutions, it felt like he was completely out of options. Pang Feng thought he was doomed. He wouldn't become a regular employee, and without the job after his internship, how would he repay his school debts?

"Shh, let me tell you, Fang Fang, the scene was so explosive! Pang Feng bled so much from his nose, and Doctor Tang and others were just standing there watching, hee hee. I heard that Sister Liu's cheeks were bright red at the time!"

"Ou Jiaojiao, who asked you about that? I'm asking if Pang Feng has absolutely no chance of being regularized now. Why are you talking about these things, it's so embarrassing!"

"Hehe, what's to be embarrassed about? The affairs between a man and a woman, what's there to be ashamed of? Pang Feng's finished. He already had it rough with Vice President Wen, and now he's crossed Sister Liu too. If Director Jin finds out, could he not be dead meat?"

"But it wasn't intentional by Pang Feng, right? He seemed to have slipped on a banana peel thrown by someone..."

"Fang Fang, you're too naive. Does it matter whether it was intentional or not? The incident has already spread. Everyone at the center knows. With Director Jin's temper, could he let Pang Feng off the hook? The crux here is that Pang Feng has neither background nor money. Nowadays, only a naïve girl like you still interacts with someone like him. More mature girls wouldn't give a poor loser like him the time of day..."

Pang Feng faintly heard people discussing the incident, and by the voices, it seemed like nurses Ding Fang and Ou Jiaojiao were the ones talking. Ding Fang had started her internship at the health center with Pang Feng, and they usually got along quite well, whereas Ou Jiaojiao was an old-timer at the center and also came from the city health school, making her Pang Feng's senior. She was usually quite aloof in front of him!

"What a bunch of gossips!" Pang Feng muttered to himself: "Wait, that's not right. The nurse's office is on the fourth floor, and I'm here... This seems to be a ward on the first floor. The direct distance is dozens of meters, and there are several walls in between. How can I hear their conversation from there?"

Suddenly, Pang Feng felt something was off. He sat up straight in bed, feeling an unusual lightness throughout his body, and his hearing had become incredibly sharp. His eyesight seemed unnaturally strong too. Looking through the window of the ward, he could see a gas station 200 meters away. A printed A4 paper notice on the station's wall caught his eye; he could read the words clearly:

"Wanted, suspect Zhao Zhi, identification number..."

"Damn, seeing from this distance?" Pang Feng instinctively reached to touch the pendant that had always hung around his neck, a copper coin-shaped amulet. But when he felt for it, it wasn't there.

"What's going on?" Pang Feng thought back to what had happened earlier. Indeed, he had bled a lot from his nose, his chest pendant had gotten splashed with blood, and then he started to feel weak in his limbs...

"Boom!" As soon as he thought of it, his head went "boom" and suddenly, an influx of information flooded into his mind.
