Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

However, to avoid a daily nightmare back on Rhodes Island, and the possibility of being stabbed by the girl who has completely turned to the dark side, this risk is worth taking.

"Doctor, what are you talking about, Doctor!" Hearing his words, Blue Poison had a bad feeling and asked worriedly.

"Although you have been magnanimous in forgiving my scumbag behavior, seeing everyone arguing over this kind of thing is heartbreaking. I even wish I could kill myself," Qin Duanyu said in a bleak tone, looking utterly hopeless. "I understand that you are just soft-hearted, which is why you were unwilling to take action earlier. You didn't really forgive me. So I'll end it all myself, so that none of you will feel guilty."

Then, one of his feet was dangling in mid-air.

The girls' hearts were also hanging in mid-air. Lan Du wanted to scream, but quickly realized what was happening and covered her mouth with her hand, fearing that she might frighten Qin Duanyu and cause him to lose his footing and fall.

If it were ten minutes ago, they would never have stopped him; on the contrary, they would have regretted not being able to kill this scumbag. But after Qin Duanyu's actions, their mentality underwent a complete change.

Moreover, based on the discussion just now, aside from the appalling practice of dating a group of people at the same time tonight, the girls discovered that in most of the ambiguous situations, they were the ones who took the initiative, while Qin Duanyu was mostly in a passive state of acceptance.

It seems the only one to blame is his scumbag son, who's a "central air conditioner" (meaning he's nice to everyone), but isn't that precisely what attracts them to the PhD? So, to sum it up, it seems they forced Qin Duanyu to become a scumbag.

We're the ones causing trouble for the professor, but he chose this method to avoid upsetting everyone. Not only are we ungrateful, we even want to kill him. Now, because of our argument, we've driven him to the point of wanting to jump off a building to atone for his sins...

The girls exchanged glances, and surprisingly felt a little guilty.

This is a typical example of being dragged into someone else's rhythm and pace, being led by the nose. It is also one of the methods that Qin Duanyu often uses when commanding battles. However, using it on girls is indeed a ridiculously scummy approach.

They'll be punished by heaven sooner or later!

"Doctor, we're not angry with you anymore. Come down quickly, it's too dangerous over there!" Platinum winked at Lappland and Texas, trying to distract Qin Duanyu, and then had the two fastest dogs among them go and pull him back.

"Don't come any closer, it wouldn't be good if something happened to you too." Qin Duanyu shooed away the two Lupo girls and continued, "Originally, as the head of the operations department, my job should have been to mediate the relationships between the operators and unite you as a whole. But now it seems that I am the root of the trouble."

“So that’s what you’re worried about. Then we promise we’ll never fight again!” Lappland said quickly, and the other girls nodded in agreement.

Of course, that's how he is when he's present; it might not be the case in private.

"Let's put it in writing!" Qin Duanyu insisted, but he also knew that his goal had been achieved and that he wouldn't have to worry about the "battlefield" problem for quite some time.

Destiny? Hahahaha!

This time, the potential dangers were finally eliminated. See? Once you learn my operational methods, all that's left is to take the lead. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the girls with a smile.

No, I have to hold it in, I absolutely cannot burst into laughter.

Having resolved the troublesome matter, Qin Duanyu clearly forgot the old saying that excessive joy leads to sorrow and that being carried away by one's success.

Slurp!

He stepped on something round and chubby, lost his balance, staggered a few times, and then, to the utter horror of the girls, fell backward onto his back.

Damn it! It's that iron rod that Ah Neng threw away before!

Seeing the long, black, cylindrical object falling beside her, Qin Duanyu immediately realized what was happening.

But it was too late. Under the influence of gravity, he plummeted toward the concrete ground. The towering trees planted around the mall, though lush, provided no cushioning and instead scraped his face painfully.

To make matters worse, there were no haystacks on the ground this time.

Is this the despair experienced by a regicide?

Chapter 62, Section 173: Goodbye, Siesta

Two days later, inside the Rhodes Island landship.

In the same hospital room where he was injured last time, Scout slowly opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling for a while, then turned around and pressed the call button by the bed: "ACE, come and empty my chamber pot!"

He waited for a long time, but no one answered.

How dare this bastard slack off?

SCOUT frowned. Although he was nominally being taken care of by members of two groups, ACE had been too flamboyant when they went to the nightclub, so SCOUT assigned him all the dirty and hard work.

What kind of good brother is he if he's never helped me clean the chamber pot?

“Team leader, Mr. ACE is visiting the doctor next door and will be back shortly.” Just as SCOUT was getting impatient, team member Aodi walked in and whispered to him.

"Doctor, you're injured? When did this happen? How serious is it?" He quickly grabbed Aodi's arm and asked worriedly.

"It's said that he accidentally fell from the rooftop of a shopping mall the night before last. Fortunately, the tree branches and other debris cushioned his fall, and he was immediately taken to Dr. Saria. He should recover in about a week," Aodi replied.

"So it's not serious?" Scout nodded and pointed to the cane by the bedside. "Help me over to take a look!"

Saria is arguably the most skilled bruise and orthopedic surgeon on Rhodes Island. She said he could recover in a week, so it seems the Doctor's injury wasn't particularly serious.

After walking only a few steps, he saw Qin Duanyu lying motionless on the bed with her limbs in casts, and next to her was ACE, who was trying to avoid cleaning the chamber pot under the pretext of visiting the doctor.

“The doctor is sleeping so peacefully. I heard it’s because of the pain from his internal injuries. Dr. Himer prescribed him some sleeping pills.” ACE said without turning his head, looking melancholy. “Back in Kazdel, I never had the chance to see him sleep so soundly.”

"Chamber pot, please! If you don't go now, I'll suggest to Dr. Shining that you take over all the chamber pots in the entire building!" Scout interrupted him impatiently. After knowing each other for so many years, they knew each other well.

Upon hearing this, ACE ran out without looking back, even forgetting to take the sunglasses that were placed by the bedside.

"Aodi, you go out first. Let me and the Doctor be alone for a while." After silently looking at the Doctor for a while, Scout covered his face with his hands and said in a trembling voice, his shoulders shaking as if he were sobbing softly.

“Team leader, don’t worry too much. Doctor’s injuries are much less severe than yours. You should take better care of yourself and rest more…” Aodi offered a few words of advice, but SCOUT just waved his hand frantically, signaling him to leave quickly.

Sigh, the team leader and the PhD student have such a good relationship.

"Hahaha, I asked you two to go out and play without me. As a result, one of you was sent back to clean my chamber pot, and the other fell and got seriously injured, becoming my fellow patient." After Aodi left, SCOUT finally couldn't suppress his laughter and said happily.

Although that was a bit much, it seemed the sleeping pills were working very well; the doctor remained completely still the whole time, as if he were immersed in a beautiful dream.

"By the way, let me tell you something. Actually, that idiot ACE doesn't know that I've been an undercover agent for Dr. Kal'tsit for a long time. My purpose is to monitor whether ACE is keeping a close watch on you. If he dares to hide it, he'll be punished along with you."

After saying a bunch of strange and reckless things, SCOUT seemed to have vented his pent-up resentment and called Aodi over, returning to his ward with a satisfied expression.

If someone were to lift Qin Duanyu's hood and remove his sunglasses at this moment, they would find that his eyes were wide open like copper bells.

……

In the middle of the night, a dark figure carefully avoided the surveillance cameras and went straight into SCOUT's ward.

"Are you happy to mock me during the day?" Qin Duanyu looked at SCOUT with a strange smile on her face.

This area, used as a place for combat operators to recuperate, is undoubtedly one of the most heavily guarded parts of Rhodes Island, but that is mainly for enemies invading from the outside. No one would have thought that danger would come from the next ward.

In fact, Qin Duanyu only suffered some muscle strain and abrasions, and was almost fully recovered on the way back. She just didn't want to be disturbed and wanted to play games in peace, so she claimed to have taken sleeping pills.

The reason why he only suffered minor injuries after falling from a height of more than 30 meters was thanks to the final escape method left by Bo.

Looking down from where Qin Duanyu was standing, it seemed like there was nothing there and no buffer zone. In fact, a safety net had been hung on the second floor beforehand, but it just happened to be blocked by tree branches.

If Qin Duanyu hadn't come up with a way to survive in time and had unfortunately fallen into a deadly situation, she could have escaped by faking her death by jumping off a building.

This is why he insisted on going to the rooftop and specifically chose that location.

Although he was happy to have survived, he could only pretend to be badly injured. He even bit open a blood pack that had been placed nearby to make a scary appearance.

It's not that he's addicted to lying, but if the girls knew about the safety net, they would definitely deduce that everything that happened that day was his scheme, and their relationship with him would probably drop to rock bottom. They should be thankful if the relationship didn't turn from liking to hatred; to take it any further would be wishful thinking.

So he had to use the excuse of recovering from his injury to return to Rhodes Island ahead of schedule.

As for Saria, the straight-laced girl who was called by the girls, the reason why she cooperated so well with Qin Duanyu and did not let the other girls see through her act was thanks to his previous actions in helping the little dragon.

Qin Duanyu was unaware of the details, as he was busy taking care of Ceylon at the time, but after the incident on the beach, Ifrit had a complete family.

Upon hearing that the Doctor had fallen from a 30-meter-high platform, both Saria and Himeru, who was sleeping on the other side of the large bed, heard the news and rushed to the scene together.

Qin Duanyu only gave a few subtle hints, and Himer understood and silenced Saria with a kiss. Considering his help in mediating the family dispute, Himer thoughtfully arranged everything.

He was already in a terrible mood because he had ruined his holiday, but since someone had deliberately walked into the line of fire, he didn't mind venting his anger.

Qin Duanyu took out a marker and started drawing a turtle on Scout's face. The left half of Scout's face was quickly filled with the design.

He rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment. He felt that one of them looked rather pitiful, so he drew a medium-sized one and a small one on the right side of Scout's face.

"Hmm, the whole turtle family is together now. The big turtle won't feel lonely this time!" Qin Duanyu admired her work with satisfaction and casually tossed the sunglasses that ACE had left behind into an inconspicuous corner.

After doing all this, he went to the bathroom, filled a basin with warm water, put one of Scout's hands in it, and then left satisfied.

Although I don't remember what happened back then, since Scout and Ace dared to be the mole, they must pay the price.

All traitors must die!

Pretty girls are an exception.

Qin Duanyu hummed a little tune as she lay back on the bed, then pulled a handheld game console out of the plaster case on her right hand and started playing a game.

Why put the junior's hand in warm water? If you're interested, you can try it while you're sleeping. We're not responsible for anything that happens.

The Siesta Shura arc has officially ended. I'm currently lacking inspiration for Blue Poison's little skit, so I'll leave it for now.

By the way, I'll post the group number 580842324 at the end.

Chapter 174, Section 1: The Woman Who Completely Defends Against Qin Duanyu

Bright sunlight streamed in through the window, and Longmen enjoyed a rare good day. Qin Duanyu, who had changed back into her uniform, stretched and waved to Dr. Warfarin outside.

"Doctor, these are the official documents that just arrived. If you feel tired, you can take a rest for a while." Lin Guang walked in carrying a stack of documents and said to Qin Duanyu with concern.

After spending two days playing handheld games in bed, Qin Duanyu was finally dragged back to the office by Kal'tsit, who couldn't stand it anymore. The reason given was that his brain was not injured and it wouldn't affect his work at all.

Qin Duanyu didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, he could only catch tires and bass when fishing, which made him so angry that he wanted to delete the stupid game. He was also tired of watching ACE and SCOUT argue.

For some reason, Scout insisted that the design on his face was "Oli Gei" (a popular internet slang term for a cute or funny face). ACE, who was forced to wash his sheets, vehemently denied it, but Qin Duanyu clearly remembered that he had drawn a turtle on his face.

"Lingguang, do I really have no talent for drawing? Look at this sunflower, isn't it beautiful?" Qin Duanyu picked up the drawing she had just finished and asked the girl excitedly.

"Excuse my bluntness, but not at all. And are you really sure this is a sunflower and not some kind of reptile?" The upright Knight of Light glanced at it and answered without hesitation.

Even if I swore allegiance to you, you can't just point at a tortoise and make me admit that it's a sunflower, can you?

"Clicking on dialogue options like that in a visual novel will lower your affection level," Qin Duanyu said with a laugh as she crumpled the paper and threw it into the trash can.

"Reality is not a game. A true knight speaks frankly and advises his lord. If you regard me as one of those fake knights who only know how to flatter, it is an insult to me!" Nearl said with a serious face, completely oblivious to the point.

"Fine, forget I said anything. Just bring the documents over." Qin Duanyu shrugged. This girl was as stubborn as ever.

Since most of the operators are still on vacation in Siesta, there are very few people who can serve as assistants.

Nearl, who is highly capable and skilled in medical techniques, returned to Rhodes Island last week with Shining because she needed to accompany Nightingale. Naturally, she became the best candidate to take care of him, the "patient," and was sent by Kal'tsit.

Because he didn't know that Qin Duanyu was faking illness, Lin Guang had been waiting outside Qin's dormitory for the past few days. From the moment the door opened and they met until the last second before he left work, he would not leave Qin's sight for more than three minutes, except when he went to the toilet.

They truly achieved full-court coverage.
