Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Be a Villain to the End

"I’m going too," Zhao Guoqiang blurted out.

Qiao Qingyu curled her lips sarcastically, "What are you going to do there, escalate the conflict? Or turn this trivial matter into common knowledge? Zhao Guoqiang, do you want to lose everything?"

Zhao Guoqiang’s face changed, and in the end, he clenched his teeth and strode towards his home, followed by Qian Guizhi, who looked at Qiao Qingyu gratefully and pulled her child along.

Qiao Qingyu’s eyes darkened.

She wasn’t worried that Zhao Guoqiang would resort to violence when he got home; at most he would yell a few words. But he probably wouldn’t be able to stay at home; he would end up rushing to the hospital. Therefore, Qiao Qingyu stomped her foot, grateful that she had worn her down jacket today. She put on her hood, zipped it up, and jogged all the way to the base hospital.

The schools, kindergartens, and stores of the Tenghai Research Base weren’t far from each other, but the hospital was on the edge of the base’s secure area.

Before she got to the base hospital, she heard Wang Sisi’s voice carrying through the wind.

"...Zhang Yurou, don’t hide like a coward. How can you be so shameless, staying at his house after you got a marriage certificate with Zhao Guoqiang? You really disgrace all of us women. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to do this job. How can we trust our lives with someone as morally corrupt and despicable as you..."

Qiao Qingyu’s expression wasn’t good, wondering whether Wang Sisi was just enjoying the chaos or actually standing on the side of justice. Didn’t she realize what consequences her actions could bring?

Qiao Qingyu quickened her pace, only to find that many others were also running in that direction. When she arrived, it was already too late; there were many people gathered both in front of and behind the hospital doors.

The spectators were numerous, whispering to each other in the cold wind. Regardless of their occupations, the inherent nature of people to gawk at trouble existed everywhere, and everyone liked it. Meanwhile, Dean Sun’s face was livid as he said to a woman beside him, "Quickly bring her inside. Don’t let her shout out here anymore."

But the female comrade beside him evidently was reluctant, raising her eyebrows and speaking out, "Why are even you protecting that woman? She herself is no good. You all are just turning a blind eye to the truth. Now that things have blown up, why not take this chance to teach her a lesson? Why stop Wang Sisi from speaking? If everyone were like Wang Sisi, could Zhang Yurou still jump around? Would she dare destroy someone’s family? Even if I bring Wang Sisi inside, what does it change? The man’s wife and son have already come knocking, and she still stays over at his place, has she no shame? Do you think you can cover this up?"

"...You, you... your chatter, how come you are so capable?"

Dean Sun was quite angry, his fingers trembling.

At that moment, Qiao Qingyu wasn’t in a hurry. She had a doubt in her mind; Qian Guizhi had never mentioned the name of the woman when she spoke, only knowing she was a hospital nurse. Fang Xiaomei also didn’t specify when she told her. She had only just found out that the woman was called Yu Rou, not even knowing her surname. But Zhao Guoqiang had blurted out when Wang Sisi wasn’t in the room; she was quite well-informed, knowing more than her.

This matter couldn’t be suppressed anymore, but Qiao Qingyu couldn’t just stand by and watch the excitement. She squeezed through the crowd, and Dean Sun’s eyes lit up when he saw her, "Qingyu, hurry, take your unit’s people back. We’ll think of a way to handle this."

But just at that moment, a nurse at the hospital gate shouted, "Dean Sun, it’s bad, Zhang Yurou has taken medicine."

Wang Sisi let out a cold laugh, "Taking medicine in a hospital, what a great place she found."

"Enough, stop adding more chaos," Qiao Qingyu said sternly.

Wang Sisi, catching the look in Qiao Qingyu’s eyes, seemed to think of something and actually stopped talking, quietly standing aside.

So crafty.

For everyone to direct their suspicions towards her, these people would think that this was all instigated by Qiao Qingyu.

But Qiao Qingyu wasn’t afraid to bear that reputation.

She pulled Wang Sisi and walked into the hospital, while Dean Sun and the others had already rushed inside. After all, it was about a human life; if she died at this time, the consequences for their hospital were unimaginable.

Even if Zhang Yurou deserved it, she could not die at this moment.

Then, the onlooking crowd started recalling incidents from the past couple of years, discussing fervently as they walked.

"Really, why do we have so many women in this base who like to seduce other people’s husbands?"

"What are you talking about? How many are there exactly? Aren’t there just a few?"

"Is that few? One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. They all have ulterior motives, they are spies and agents, trying to disrupt our base."

"Oh my, then doesn’t that mean Zhang Yurou might be lurking here to cause trouble?"

"Although Zhao Guoqiang can’t enter the lab and has no research projects, he still drives a car. You mentioned that--it’s really terrifying. If he drives his car with leaders into the river, think about how big our losses would be!"

The crowd, "..."

That really did sound increasingly terrifying.

At that moment, Zhao Guoqiang also swiftly walked towards them from the other end. People moved aside upon seeing him, but he obviously had heard the conversation, his face even more grim.

His look towards Qiao Qingyu was unfriendly.

Therefore, Wang Sisi had indeed successfully pushed her to the peak of the storm, no matter how this matter was resolved, Qiao Qingyu was definitely hated by Zhao Guoqiang and Zhang Yurou.

Then she might as well play the villain to the end.

Qiao Qingyu looked at Zhao Guoqiang and preemptively struck, "Zhao Guoqiang, do you really think a personal matter can be handled so simply, doing whatever you please? Look at what’s happening now. You’ve harmed not only Sister-in-law Qian but also Zhang Yurou. So I must ask you, on what grounds do you look at me with such angry eyes? Isn’t all this caused by you? Did you think everything would always remain calm? You’re quite naive, giving the enemy such a great opportunity."

Beside her, Wang Sisi also added, "Indeed, good deeds stay inside, but bad deeds travel a thousand li. You two have spoiled everything with just one bad apple. Tenghai Research Base, which is already not easy to maintain here in Northwest, our researchers, workers, and so many people striving in ordinary positions, have endured so much hardship and pain to achieve today’s success, but you two have destroyed it all..."
