Chapter 796: Chapter 793: Playing Missing

Sun Decai’s remarks were rather blunt, and Lai Xiucheng’s face turned unsightly, as he indeed was not doing well and had only come to work at the infirmary because it was better than slumming it in a clinic.

It’s not that the school doctor isn’t important. As the only doctor in the entire school, the position is certainly very important. It seems unimportant because of the school leaders, as they are unwilling to spend more money to hire a more skilled doctor.

"You make... some sense," Lai Xiucheng said hesitantly.

"Even if none of the previous reasons stand, it’s no big deal. If someone really comes for an interview, I naturally have ways to make the candidate fail the interview. That way, the school doctor position can only fall to you," Sun Decai said proudly.

"Ha-ha, Brother Decai, your plan is so thorough, I really admire you. It looks like I just have to wait for the school leaders to come begging me," Lai Xiucheng said, somewhat excited after hearing the whole conversation, laughing happily as if he could already see himself getting a promotion, raise, marrying a rich beauty, and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

"Alright, remember what I told you, and start the transfer procedures immediately after this call ends. Don’t go making decisions on your own again," Sun Decai instructed finally.

"Don’t worry, Brother Decai. I will do as you said this time," Lai Xiucheng promised.

Thinking it over, he cautiously asked, "Brother Decai, I’m just curious, by helping me like this, what do you get out of it?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Sun Decai said indifferently, "I don’t need any benefits. As long as it’s something Lin Tian wants to do, I’ll oppose it. As long as it can make him frustrated and sick, I’m happy. What do I care about benefits for?"

"Uh, Brother Decai’s level of thinking is something I can’t understand, but it sounds very noble," Lai Xiucheng said, dumbfounded, yet still offered insincere flattery. In his heart, however, he wondered if it was worth it for a woman. You rich people really are masochistic for the sake of vanity.

Lin Tian, who had already left the hospital, had no idea that just as he had left, Lai Xiucheng had already spoken to Sun Decai on the phone, planning a scheme, and soon after, he left Renxin Hospital too.

Lin Tian returned to the Xiao Mansion and didn’t dwell on the recent events, going about his usual business. The only thing that troubled him was Kikuchi Mika.

The little nurse looked at him with eyes that screamed ’take your pick,’ causing Lin Tian to have erotic dreams even during his afternoon naps.

He felt that at this rate, he’d inevitably make a mistake. It’s not that Lin Tian was a saint or a gentleman; he’s a perfectly normal, red-blooded young man, and to say he had no thoughts about the nurse would be a lie.

But the Heavenly Master Girl’s words always made him feel uneasy. After a ’zombie’ and a regular woman did ’that,’ the woman could develop problems. If her words were true, it might kill Kikuchi Mika.

So Lin Tian needed to find a way to settle her somewhere, to keep her out of sight more often; with her constantly tempting him in his presence, any man would find it hard to resist.

In the afternoon, as Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan walked into the classroom, they saw a group of people gathered around the blackboard, seemingly looking at something.

Fatty Huang was too large to squeeze in and could only crane his neck incessantly, but his neck wasn’t long enough to see what was going on inside.

"What’s the situation, Fatty? What’s everyone crowding around there for?" Lin Tian patted his shoulder and asked curiously.

"I don’t know either. Just now, Class Leader He brought back a notice from the teacher and posted it on the wall. I didn’t get a chance to go look before it was crowded with people," Fatty Huang said, annoyed, probably frustrated at how his large body slowed him down.

"Gao Le, what does the notice say?" Fatty Huang shouted to the people inside.

Gao Le squeezed out from inside, took a deep breath, and said, "Damn, the news isn’t good. Starting tomorrow, the school will implement a closed-off military-style management, along with a whole bunch of punitive measures. Basically, all sorts of restrictions."

"Closed-off management?" Lin Tian was puzzled; he had dropped out in his first year of high school and had never witnessed how the upperclassmen dealt with the college entrance exam.

Gao Le nodded and explained, "The school is usually under semi-closed management, but now, as the college entrance exam approaches, it’s becoming fully closed-off, even stricter than for the last session. Whoever breaks the rules and disrupts the order during the exams could be severely punished, even expelled."

"This is the usual practice, right? Moreover, with the incident involving parents causing a scene, the school is tightening its control even more before the exams, as a way to appease the parents," Lin Tian said nonchalantly.

He understood the school’s approach. Although parents no longer pursued the issue of the frog noises, he guessed that there were still complaints. The school, in the last sprint, tightened management to reassure the parents and prevent them from finding reasons to cause further disruption.

The school had already removed a vice principal due to this, and with no one knowing who might be next if another incident occurred, the leaders were scared.

"Brother Tian makes sense. The school leaders don’t want parents causing trouble again, risking their official hats. They have no choice but to do this, but it’s us students who suffer," Gao Le also sighed.

With military-style management, eating, drinking, restroom breaks, and sleeping all had strict regulations about what to do at what time. It wouldn’t be surprising if the daily morning runs for the senior class were forcibly canceled.

"Forget it, it’s only for a few more days. For those of us with regular routines, it’s not a big deal. The main problem will be for those who get up in the middle of the night to study—if they get caught, it could be troublesome," Lin Tian said casually, noting that he and Xiao Manxuan weren’t affected much since they lived off-campus.

Back at his seat, Lin Tian told Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu about the closed-off management, and as expected, the two women weren’t overly concerned. Besides already living off-campus, they were also disciplined individuals.

After closed-off management was enforced, students living on-campus couldn’t go out on weekends anymore, which was something many students had a strong reaction to. Lin Tian could even hear the cries of despair from the class next door.

"Lin Tian, don’t you find it a bit odd that Lai Xiucheng suddenly ended up in the hospital at this time?" Zhang Lingyu suddenly asked.

"Of course it’s odd. I’ve visited that guy in the hospital. He’s definitely faking his injury, even daring to threaten me," Lin Tian said with a laugh.

"How did he threaten you?" Xiao Manxuan inquired.

"He said I should go to the principal and ask to have his punishment lifted. Otherwise, he’d spread rumors that I was the one who caused his fall," Lin Tian said, somewhat amused. These days, such threats barely made him blink.

"No way, does he have a death wish?" Xiao Manxuan exclaimed dramatically.

Lin Tian gave the little girl a glance and said helplessly, "Second Miss, do I, such an honest person, look like the Demon King to you?"

"Hehe, you don’t look like it, but you’re anything but honest," Xiao Manxuan giggled slyly.

"Lin Tian, there might be more to the story. With Lai Xiucheng’s salary, doesn’t seem like he could afford to stay at a private hospital like Renxin. Could someone be helping him from behind?" Zhang Lingyu prompted.

"If I’m not mistaken, it must be Sun Decai pulling strings. Ever since he got dumped by Qi Jing, he’s held a bigger grudge against me. Especially since I took over his dad’s shares, combining new grievances with old, it’s not surprising at all that he wants to come after me," Lin Tian responded calmly, with a slight smile.
