Nightmare Apostle

"It’s got to be you!" Ye Zheng’s eyes lit up, "Who else could come up with such a shameless method?"

"Hey~~" Yang Xiao was displeased by the comment, but then seemed to think of something and said with a sly smile, "Guess who the kind person was who informed Wang Yong she was in the clinic?"

"Who did you frame?" Ye Zheng chuckled uncontrollably.

"You." Yang Xiao replied.

In the next second, Ye Zheng’s smile froze on his face.

At first, she thought Yang Xiao was joking, but then she noticed how serious he looked.

"No, you’re really something else, aren’t you? So many people you could blame, why did you specifically choose me?" Ye Zheng burst out in anger.

"She has to believe it, you know. Think about it, who else but you and me could pull something like this off?" Yang Xiao retorted.

Actually, Yang Xiao did have a point. The people here this time were mostly newcomers with poor mental endurance. If they really encountered Wang Yong’s ghost, they’d probably be scared to death, let alone remain calm enough to answer questions.

There were very few with such qualities, and only she and Yang Xiao really fit the bill.

"Then why didn’t you say it was you?" Ye Zheng put her hands on her hips, refusing to let it go.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao shook his head, "Not me. I’ve got a reputation to uphold, my personal qualities are on display here."

"I’m a specialist from the Patrol Defense Office, a man of my word, a real man who stands tall. How could I do such a despicable thing as betraying my teammates? That would ruin my reputation!" Yang Xiao sternly criticized Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng suddenly didn’t know what to say. She had heard before that this new specialist from the Patrol Defense Office was a bit odd. Seeing it in person today completely overturned her understanding.

After being scared by Yang Xiao, Liu Hongwei quickly changed out of her patient’s clothes and put on her own, practically sprinting out of the clinic, a scene that made Song Xin frown.

After bidding farewell to Doctor Song Xin, Yang Xiao and the others left.

Not far from the clinic’s entrance, in a secluded spot, the ill-tempered Ye Zheng cornered Liu Hongwei against a wall.

"Liu Hongwei, I never expected you to have two faces!"

"What, do you think you’re smart, pretending to sleep and hiding to avoid going to the Cultural Palace, while we’re all fools who can’t see through your little scheme?" Ye Zheng sneered, raising her hand to hit her.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I was just... just too scared." Liu Hongwei cried.

"Wang Yong’s death is his own fault, but how do you explain deceiving us with the comic thing?" Ye Zheng got angrier the more she thought about it. As an experienced player, she knew how much trouble this would cause if not exposed.

"Slap"

"Thump"

Ye Zheng raised her hand and hit Liu Hongwei twice, then grabbed her hair and yanked it hard, pushing her down and preparing to hit her again.

Liu Hongwei, with her hair a mess and her glasses on the ground, was eventually saved from Ye Zheng’s fury by Yang Xiao.

"That’s enough, don’t hit her anymore." Yang Xiao knew that beating her wasn’t the goal, educating her was necessary. Liu Hongwei needed to realize her mistake—and it was a big mistake.

"If I don’t hit her, she won’t learn her lesson. She nearly got us all killed! Plus, she hasn’t shown any regret, and still thinks she can hide in the clinic to dodge responsibility!" Ye Zheng said angrily.

"Stop, just do me a favor and let it go." Yang Xiao persuaded.

"Thank you... thank you, Captain Ma! You’re a good person!" Liu Hongwei repeatedly thanked him, knowing well that Yang Xiao was undoubtedly the core of the team, his word was final.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiao ignored her plea, continuing to comfort Ye Zheng, "Wang Yong is already after her, she’s half a dead person. Is it worth clashing with someone who’s practically doomed?"

Liu Hongwei: "??!"

"That’s true." Ye Zheng glanced at Liu Hongwei.

These words frightened Liu Hongwei, who desperately pleaded with Yang Xiao and Ye Zheng not to abandon her, assuring them she had learned her lesson and would behave well in the future, doing whatever they said.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao decided not to scare her any further; everything in moderation, pushing someone completely over the edge was no good for them either.

As it grew later, the company employees were about to start their nightlife, while for Yang Xiao and the others, a new round of crisis was about to begin.

"Let’s go eat first." Yang Xiao and the group headed to the cafeteria, planning to fill their stomachs first.

After all, for Yang Xiao, he had business at the Cultural Palace in the first half of the night, and he couldn’t be idle in the second half either, still having to capture the "enemy spy."

This was immensely draining both mentally and physically; he needed to maintain his strength.

Ye Zheng was the same, determined to stay by Yang Xiao’s side.

When they got their meals, Yang Xiao and Ye Zheng were surprised to find Liu Hongwei had a first-class meal ticket, meaning they were going to eat meat dishes that night.

"Where did you get the first-class meal ticket?" Yang Xiao curiously asked while holding the ticket.

After all, they were all new employees at the factory, and their treatment was similar; there shouldn’t have been any exception like this.

When questioned by Yang Xiao, Liu Hongwei immediately explained that the meal ticket wasn’t hers; it was given to her by Wang Yong.

"Then where did Wang Yong get the meal ticket?" Ye Zheng continued to ask.

"I... I don’t know, I truly don’t know." Liu Hongwei shook her head repeatedly, "He gave me the meal ticket because there was a hole in his jacket pocket, so he couldn’t keep anything in it, not for any other reason."

Liu Hongwei looked somewhat tense, fear in her eyes, worried that everyone might think she had a good relationship with Wang Yong, or that the two of them were involved in some kind of unspeakable deal.
