What Xu Fei had produced was nothing more than an ambiguous chat log he’d freshly fabricated, simply swapping his own name for Dong Tianyi’s.
But because Xiao Ai had been bombarded with this explosive information one after another, her mind was already in complete disarray, and she couldn’t even notice that the timestamp on the chat log was from just a few minutes ago.
Meanwhile, Xu Fei had no idea that when Duanmu Qing sent those flirty messages, she had unconsciously pictured him as the recipient, which was why her words felt so genuine.
“This… this can’t be possible, you’re lying to me! It’s all fake!”
Xiao Ai didn’t know what to do. Overwhelmed, she squatted on the ground, hugging her legs in distress, the syringe tossed aside.
At that moment, Duanmu Qing instantly transformed into an emotional guru, coming to Xiao Ai’s side to comfort her.
Then, posing as a fellow victim of misfortune, she quickly won Xiao Ai’s trust, forging that deep, unique bond women often share in an instant.
She even managed to convince Xiao Ai to go back and pretend the mission was complete, then later help her get revenge on Dong Tianyi, that scumbag.
This series of bizarre maneuvers left Xu Fei unexpectedly dumbfounded, his scalp tingling as he couldn’t help but marvel at the strange friendship between women.
Xiao Ai soon pulled herself together and returned to Dong Tianyi’s office.
“So, Xiao Ai? Did you fail? Why do you look like you’ve been crying?”
Dong Tianyi now put on a façade of concern, acting like he cared deeply for his precious darling, though in reality, his heart was burning with anxiety, far more worried about the success or failure of this plan.
“No… it’s not that. After I gave the injection, the guy woke up, yelled at me, and I ran back here right away!”
Hearing this, Dong Tianyi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He figured Xu Fei must have woken up after being asleep, noticed Xiao Ai, and grown suspicious, but by then it was already too late.
Thinking this, Dong Tianyi felt smug beyond measure. He resorted to his old tricks, comforting Xiao Ai while taking the chance to cop a feel.
Xiao Ai, for her part, endured it, putting on an air of bearing humiliation for a greater cause.
Those words she’d just said were, of course, coached by Xu Fei, their real purpose being to dispel Dong Tianyi’s doubts.
“Just you wait, you filthy scumbag, you lecherous pig! By tomorrow, your ugly true face will be exposed! Let’s see if you dare act so arrogant then!”
Xiao Ai couldn’t help but curse viciously in her mind.
Since Xiao Ai had other work to do later, and it just so happened that the head nurse was on duty today, she couldn’t linger.
To avoid raising suspicion, Dong Tianyi reluctantly let her go after groping her a couple more times.
At this point, Dong Tianyi felt he’d regained the upper hand, his mood lifting as he hummed a little tune. He rehung the large, uncooperative clock on the wall, which had been giving him trouble earlier.
“Let’s see who’s sending whom a clock this time!”
Time quickly passed to midnight, and Dong Tianyi started feeling bored staying there, so he stepped out of his office.
He put on the pretence of inspecting the wards, then made his way to the nurse’s station to ask about Auntie Li’s room.
“Hello, Director Dong. There’s been no activity in their room. The patient and the two accompanying family members are all asleep against the wall!”
A young nurse inside replied to his inquiry.
