Framing and Scheming

In the hospital, in the special care ward, Li Zhi stood outside, quietly watching the girl lying inside. Like the other members of the private assistant department, she was enticed to return by Li Zhi's high-tech recruitment. She lacked nothing in ability, perhaps only lacking in opportunity. Given the opportunity, a woman like her may not necessarily be inferior to Yana or Xingnan.

Foresight and intelligence do not always align; luck is the key.

"Ajiao is completely out of danger now, but it will take at least a month for her to get out of bed and move around." It will take three months for her to fully recover. "I have already made arrangements with the hospital," Xingnan said softly, standing by Li Zhi's side.

Without entering the special care ward, Li Zhi stood outside the window for a while before nodding and saying, "Tell her to take good care of herself." For someone who risked their life for me, I will never forget. "When she's better, the company will have a generous bonus waiting for her."

This was said to Xingnan, but the murmured words that followed were meant for those around him.

"Everyone only has one life." "Since you were willing to sacrifice yourself for me, I can offer you a lifetime of glory!"

Li Zhi's visit to the hospital to see Ajiao was not just a gesture to win people over. In his heart, he truly appreciated this girl. If it weren't for her, it would have been Li Zhi lying in the hospital. Regardless of her motives at the time, she stood in front of Li Zhi, ensuring he could not forget this favor.

Gratitude must not be forgotten, and vengeance must be repaid.

Life is short, and the simplest truth is nothing more than repaying debts, atoning for wrongs, reciprocating kindness, and seeking justice.

Li Zhi is neither a gentleman nor a hero. He lives in his own world, an ordinary commoner.

"Is Ajiao awake?" Li Zhi did not rush to leave.

Xingnan was taken aback. She didn't know what was happening, so she signaled to her subordinate to quickly ask the doctor.

Three bullets hit Ajiao's back. One bullet almost grazed her heart, another pierced her lung, and the third got stuck in her shoulder bone.

On their way back to the company from the hospital, Li Zhi asked Xingnan, "Does Ajiao have any other family?"

"Her family seems to reside in a city situated deep within the island."

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Buy a larger house in the port area and bring her family over to settle in."

"Yes, boss!"

After the afternoon, Li Zhi finally left 'Port 5' and returned to his residence. The time difference on the factory world map varies in each world. It was daytime in the Star of the Sea, so it was evening in the real world, with a twelve-hour difference.

Lying in the 'D6 Human Recovery Device', Li Zhi chose to have an hour and a half of deep sleep to fully recharge his energy.

He then spent two hours training with the '77 Simple Fitness Equipment' in the living room.

His physical fitness was improving, and he no longer engaged in daily training as he did before. After the assassination attempt, he realized that no matter how capable his subordinates were, when it came to matters of life and death, he had to rely on himself more.

Today, Yang Yuqing's parents are coming to Haicheng. If it weren't for the promise he made to the little girl yesterday, Li Zhi wouldn't have returned so soon. Two million US dollars in and out, it was like burning money.

"Mu Xiaomei, what do you mean?"

In the campus of Haicheng University, Mu Xiaomei and her dormitory friend Zhao Yafang were blocked by a group of people at the dormitory door. The speaker was a well-dressed young man, but his demeanor emitted a somewhat sleazy vibe as he glared at her.

Mu Xiaomei frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Do I owe you something, or money, classmate?" Why did you bring so many people to ask me what I mean? I can tell you clearly now that I have no interest in you, and I hope you won't bother me in the future. Can you?

Zhao Yafang pulled her aside because there were so many people on the other side, and there were only two of them. The people behind were like opportunists, unwilling to help, and they couldn't be relied upon. Furthermore, the other party had a significant reputation at Haicheng University. If it wasn't necessary, it was best not to provoke him.

She could sense that Mu Xiaomei was about to escalate the situation!

"You took ten thousand in cash from me." Last night, I booked a room at the Sheraton Hotel, and you dared to stand me up. Not only that, but in front of so many people, you even said you have no interest in me? No interest? Why did you take my money? "Come on, everyone, let's discuss what this term really means!" The other party sneered at Mu Xiaomei.

Mu Xiaomei was stunned, frowning at the other party. Many students were watching, and if the other party's words were spread, her reputation would be ruined.

"Sun Zhipeng, when did I take ten thousand in cash from you?" Zhao Yafang realized the seriousness of the situation. The other party wasn't here to pursue Mu Xiaomei but to ruin her reputation. It was extremely malicious. If the scandal spreads, how could Mu Xiaomei continue her studies at Haicheng University?

She listened to Mu Xiaomei's account and was on the verge of tears!

"You took ten thousand dollars in cash from me, and I saw it with my own eyes." It's still in the dormitory locker. Not only did I see it, but the other people in the dormitory also saw it. You were still proud and said you would treat us to dinner. I despise people like you who clearly want to be promiscuous but still want to maintain a good reputation. You took the money, but you won't let me do it. "What's the matter?" "Do I look down on you like this?" The other party sneered.

"Zhao Yafang, are you even human?" Zhao Yafang couldn't help but curse. The other party was making baseless accusations, and she immediately wanted to silence them.

Mu Xiaomei, on the other hand, was calmer than her, holding her back. There was a problem with the issue today. The other party was here for her and Zhao Yafang. Since Fang Yuanyuan dared to say such things in front of everyone, she must have received benefits from Sun Zhipeng. It was likely that not only she, but also the other people in the dormitory, had been bribed by the opposing party.

There was no genuine friendship among them, except for being closer to Zhao Yafang. They did not have a particularly good relationship with the others.

Just now, Fang Yuanyuan mentioned that Mu Xiaomei had received ten thousand in cash from Sun Zhipeng, and the money is currently in the dormitory locker. If it was a trap, there was probably money in the locker now.

"Do you think you're invincible?" Even if you set me up, even if you really placed ten thousand in cash in my dormitory locker, I can assure you that I did not touch the money. There shouldn't be my fingerprints on it. You should know who you took money from, and you should feel it in your heart. "It shouldn't be too difficult to find out the truth of this matter," Mu Xiaomei said, looking at Fang Yuanyuan.

Fang Yuanyuan was not guilty, but she was accustomed to lying. Today, she was determined to confront Mu Xiaomei to the end. She had someone supporting her, which made her even more unscrupulous.

"Investigate?" You think too highly of yourself. Who is going to investigate you? "You, a person like you, in the future, even if you throw yourself at someone, they might not want you!" Fang Yuanyuan sneered and taunted.

Mu Xiaomei looked at her, smiling calmly. "If I throw myself at someone, maybe no one will want me, but someone like you, even if you throw yourself at someone, they definitely won't want you." Look at yourself. Are you worthy to be compared to me? "Do you know how ridiculous you are right now?"

"Am I being ridiculous?" Fang Yuanyuan's good mood was ruined by Mu Xiaomei's indifferent attitude.

"You're not ridiculous, you're despicable." How could your parents have given birth to such a despicable daughter like you? "Do you think you're worthy of being a person?" Zhao Yafang also cursed. She was very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

She had an impulse to kill!

"Stop talking nonsense." Mu Xiaomei, please explain how to resolve this issue today. Since you took my money, you have to let me go to the room with you now and have fun. Let's just settle this matter between us, otherwise…" Mu Xiaomei interrupted the other party with a stern expression. "Don't daydream." This was a trap from the beginning. If you want to frame me, you don't even have any evidence. I have a boyfriend; how could I take your money? My boyfriend gives me a monthly allowance of one million dollars. Can you look down on your ten thousand?

Sun Zhipeng was amused by Mu Xiaomei's words and turned to look at the students around him, loudly mocking, "Did everyone hear that?" Haha, very impressive. Mu Xiaomei, are you sure he is your boyfriend and not someone who is controlling you? And a million every month. Why don't you call him over and let us all see what kind of man can give you a million every month? Is that okay?

"Okay, what's wrong with that?" Mu Xiaomei took out her phone and called Li Zhi. She was actually anxious, but she knew she couldn't show it. She was most afraid that the other party wouldn't allow her to make a call to the outside world, thus restricting her and Zhao Yafang's personal freedom. If Sun Zhipeng could buy off the people in her dormitory, then if this trap was designed deeper, and he found connections with the police, she could be taken away directly, and she might not even have a chance to explain.
