"Director Liu, so early in the morning, why do you look so pale?"

"I heard that Director Bai was arrested, now your chances of being promoted to vice president just got much bigger, huh."

Su Fan forced a smile and said as if nothing was the matter.

Because they were in the corridor, Su Fan addressed Liu Ye by her position.

Liu Ye glanced around, there weren't many people, and immediately gave Su Fan a piercing look.

"Behave yourself, come with me."

Saying that, she wiggled her large hips and walked into the director's office.

Su Fan hurriedly followed her in.

Once inside the door, Su Fan became much more intimate.

"Sister Liu Ye, Bai Man got caught, but I see you don't seem happy at all?"

"Hmph."

Liu Ye rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.

"Do you think I'm one of those despicable people who kick others when they're down? I want to compete for vice president fairly and squarely. I believe my professional ability is not inferior to Bai Man, why should I rely on such tricks?"

Su Fan couldn't help but look up to Liu Ye.

Indeed, she was a fine woman.

At this moment, Liu Ye changed the subject again.

"Besides, I don't think Bai Man will really have any trouble this time."

"How so?"

Su Fan was intrigued.

Liu Ye explained.

"The person who knows you best isn't necessarily your friend, but your opponent."

"Bai Man and I entered the hospital in the same batch, we've been fighting for nearly ten years, I know her too well."

"That woman is too self-righteous, she wouldn't even accept rebates from pharmaceutical representatives, let alone a small gift; how could she possibly be involved in her family's case."

"So what are you suggesting?"

Su Fan felt hopeful.

Liu Ye sat down on her chair with a plump behind and said calmly.

"It's simple, Bai Man is a direct relative, her being taken away for questioning is not surprising, and I guess she will come out unscathed in the end."

"I see."

Su Fan secretly rejoiced, hoping that Liu Ye's guess was correct.

Yet at this moment, Liu Ye added.

"However, we can't say that this incident hasn't affected Bai Man."

"Because of her family's influence, she has been very assertive in the hospital and therefore has made quite a few enemies. People tolerated her previously because of her family's background, but once her maternal family falls, she'll be in trouble."

"At least, without her family's maneuvering, her chances of becoming the vice president this time are completely dashed."

Su Fan nodded.

I've experienced Bai Man's witchy perversity myself; that nasty temper must have offended everyone in the hospital.

She deserves to suffer a bit.

"But, doesn't she still have a husband? Her husband is not an ordinary man either."

"Heh."

Liu Ye glanced at Su Fan.

And chuckled.

"Little Su, you're still too young. Do you think every man is as naive and devoted as you? The men in this city, especially those in high positions, are much more complicated than you think."

"The Bai family's case has startled the entire city, and it's well known even at the provincial level. If her husband isn't a fool, he'll definitely stay clear of it. Furthermore, I think her husband will choose to divorce her."

"Impossible, he's not that kind of person..."

Su Fan immediately defended Li Jian.

"Hmm?"

The passionate response caught Liu Ye's attention.

"What, do you know Bai Man's husband?"

Liu Ye looked at Su Fan suspiciously.

Su Fan realized he had misspoken.

"I do know him, after all, he was the university president, right? I've interacted with him a couple of times; he seemed very approachable."

Su Fan's degree was facilitated by Li Jian, from the medical university where Li Jian worked.

That explanation made sense.

"Tsk."

Liu Ye rolled her eyes and commented.

"Appearances can be deceiving. You can't understand many people you've known for years, let alone Bai Man's husband whom you've only met twice."

"He's the university president, of course he would be humble in front of his students."

"But once he enters public service, career prospects are most important."

"This time, Principal Li, in order to protect himself, is very likely to sever ties. Just wait and see."

Su Fan said nothing.

Because the previous phone call with Li Jian had left him without confidence.

Could it be that Uncle Li was really going to divorce Bai Man?

Then...

Bai Man would no longer be his aunt by marriage, wouldn't that mean he could... do her...

Pah!

Su Fan felt disgusted with his own thoughts.

At a time like this, why was he still thinking about such nonsense.

"Su Fan, why do I feel that your mood is off today?"

"You don't have some kind of relationship with Bai Man, do you?"

Liu Ye's eyes were fixed on Su Fan.
