PFC Chapter 72 Return to the Company
Chapter 72 Return to the Company
In the ward.
When Yunzhi woke up, it was already an hour later.
She remained in the same position as before she fainted, lying quietly on the cold floor. It seemed that no one had come in after Ye Chengyan left.
She forced herself to sit up, and to her surprise, the pain in her body lessened considerably. The agony she felt before fainting, as if her internal organs had shifted, seemed like a hallucination.
Yunzhi looked down at her still thin, bony hands with bulging veins. Remembering the voice she thought was a hallucination before she fainted, she realized that the system had saved her once again.
So she almost died again?
Yunzhi gave a bitter smile, clutching her chest with one hand.
"Thank you, system."
Although the system was also doing this for the mission, saving her was saving her.
Just when she thought the system wouldn't respond to her, a mechanical voice suddenly came from her mind.
[The host only needs to endure for the last three days to successfully escape this world.]
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment. She had been with the system for so long, and the system never interfered in other people's business. It only issued her tasks in a professional manner. This was the first time she had heard the system respond with a reassuring tone.
Could it be that the system is afraid she'll keep courting death?
The thought of Tongtong possibly being thrown into the trash can by Ye Chengyan was like a knife to Yunzhi's heart, her trembling voice filled with pleading.
"System, can you tell me if Tongtong was thrown into the trash can by Ye Chengyan?"
She knew she was being a bit too forward, but now she had no choice but to seek help from the system.
The system did not respond to her.
The hope in Yunzhi's eyes faded, and she slumped her head helplessly, looking dejected.
Suddenly, she heard the crackling sound of an electric short circuit in her mind.
Yunzhi was startled, thinking that she had harmed the system.
A moment later, that familiar mechanical voice rang out again.
[No.]
No? Tongtong wasn't thrown into the trash can by Ye Chengyan.
Her heart found peace at that moment.
Yunzhi let out a long sigh, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, blurring her vision and making the white in front of her appear indistinct.
She needed to leave this place as soon as possible; only by leaving could she find a way to save Tongtong.
Yunzhi was afraid of implicating the system, so she dared not ask any more questions.
She got up from the ground and began to look around. The ward was empty, with nowhere to hide, let alone conceal herself. She scanned the room and finally her gaze fell on the bathroom attached to the ward.
The bathroom facilities were simple, but as soon as Yunzhi entered, she noticed a window on the bathroom sink that could accommodate one person.
Her eyes lit up, and she cautiously glanced towards the doorway. But as soon as she climbed onto the sink, she saw a person standing outside the window. Startled, she quickly crouched down.
She then carefully stood up and observed him closely, trying to confirm whether he was just passing by or guarding the place. In the end, she was disappointed; the man was the guard.
Indeed, how could Ye Chengyan have left her with such a huge plot hole?
The escape route that they had finally found was now marked with a big X, and Yunzhi was getting anxious.
Just as she was feeling agitated, the man standing by the window suddenly received a phone call, swore, glanced at the window, and left muttering curses.
Yunzhi bent over, her legs trembling from the effort.
Two minutes later, she stood up shakily, and after confirming that the people below had left, she quickly opened the window.
During the incident, Yunzhi almost slipped and fell off the sink, but luckily she held on tightly to the windowsill and escaped unharmed.
Thanks to the system for keeping her alive and healing many of her internal and external injuries, otherwise, given her physical condition when she fainted, climbing onto the sink would have been a pipe dream.
She sat on the windowsill, looking down at the height of one floor, which made her dizzy.
Yunzhi bit her lip hard.
This is her only chance.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and jumped.
Fortunately, upon landing, Yunzhi protected her head with both hands and rolled to reduce the damage.
Although she was still injured, she could endure it.
Yunzhi endured the pain and got up from the ground. Only when she stood up did she realize that her lower leg was broken.
Because of bone cancer, her bones are more fragile than those of a normal person.
Yunzhi stretched, braced herself against the wall with one hand, and dragged one leg away from there as quickly as possible.
……
Meanwhile, Ye Chengyan, who was with Yu Baisu, suddenly received a call from his assistant.
He looked displeased. Hadn't he already told his assistant not to call him unless it was something extremely serious?
"What's wrong?" Ye Chengyan's voice was full of displeasure.
The assistant on the other end of the phone, not bothering to guess Ye Chengyan's thoughts, lowered his voice and said, "It's bad, Mr. Ye. People from the tax bureau have suddenly come to the company, demanding to check our company's accounts for the past three years, and they require you to be back within an hour."
Ye Chengyan frowned.
Why did the tax bureau people suddenly come?
He confirmed that the company's accounts were clean and that the Ye family had never evaded taxes.
Even if they are from the tax bureau, they can't just force them to commit crimes.
"They're here, so what's the rush? The vice president isn't here, just have him come along. I'm busy here, I can't go."
"No, Mr. Ye, you have to come... Someone anonymously reported you for embezzling public funds."
Misappropriation of public funds?
It's nonsense.
Ye Chengyan's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he squeezed out two words, "Wait for me."
Now he has no choice but to go back.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chengyan looked at Yu Baisu with guilt.
Although Yu Baisu didn't know what had happened, she vaguely heard the name "Ye Family" and knew that something might have happened to the company, forcing Ye Chengyan to return.
"Chengyan, company matters are more important. I'm fine here, you should go back and take care of the company's affairs."
The more understanding and sensible she was, the more Ye Chengyan felt sorry for her.
After all, it was his promise that he would stay with her during this time.
“Su Su, I’m going back for a bit, I’ll be right back. When I get back, I’ll arrange for a doctor to have Yunzhi donate bone marrow to you.”
Facing Yu Baisu, Ye Chengyan's eyes were filled with tenderness.
Yu Baisu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and finally added a hypocritical remark.
"If Miss Yun is not feeling well, then forget it."
When Yunzhi was mentioned, Ye Chengyan lost his earlier gentleness.
He snorted coldly, his tone disgusted, "She's perfectly healthy."
After finishing his sentence, Ye Chengyan quickly left the hospital.
Because they were in such a hurry, they even forgot to make arrangements for Ye Ze.
Ye Ze ultimately stayed to accompany Yu Baisu.
When facing Ye Ze, Yu Baisu was not as good-tempered as she was when facing Ye Chengyan.
"Xiao Ze, be good. Auntie will take a nap. Can you sit here and play by yourself for a while?"
She gave a few perfunctory replies and then lay down with her back to Ye Ze.
Ye Ze sat obediently in the chair, and after a while, he yawned and actually fell asleep in the chair.
Looking at Ye Ze in the chair, Yu Baisu's eyes turned cold.
