I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"Oh, right, here are the tickets." Qin Yunshang personally handed the concert tickets to the girls. "You all absolutely have to come!"

Xiao Qing happily accepted the tickets and said, "I'll watch every one of your performances. I'll have the whole theater to myself!"

“Hey, each person can only get one ticket. Getting more is useless,” Qin Yunshang said. “The ticket count for the competition is based on how many tickets are collected when you enter the venue, not how many tickets you collect.”

"Oh, I see."

Xiao Qing was a little disappointed. She was the kind of person who got easily carried away; with her passion for cooking, she could easily garner a lot of votes by herself.

Unfortunately, it can't be done by swiping.

"How did the organizers know whose ticket I had?" Xiao Qing asked.

Qin Yunshang pointed to the lower right corner of the ticket and said, "Look here, there's an icon marking me here. This little skirt hem mark represents 'Shang,' which means it's my ticket. And the QR code on the ticket is different too."

Xiao Qing suddenly realized.

Beside her, Liu Ruying held the ticket in both hands, examining it from head to toe for a long time, her brows furrowed the entire time.

After she finished speaking, Liu Ruying suddenly asked, "Is this ticket with the skirt hem mark only issued to you?"

"Only our group will receive it," Qin Yunshang emphasized.

"Has this been posted before?"

"Oh, no," Qin Yunshang said. "Today is my first time performing in a livehouse, I'm so nervous."

Liu Ruying wanted to ask something more, but Lu Qianzi tugged at her and said:

"There's still a long queue behind us, let's go first so as not to disturb Yunshang'er's business."

After Qin Yunshang said goodbye and left the group, Liu Ruying was still carefully looking at the ticket in her hand.

"What's wrong? What are you studying? I saw you holding the ticket the whole time," Lu Qianzi asked.

Liu Ruying frowned as she looked at the ticket and asked, "Do you think time travel even exists?"

"Hmm? You've been reading too many online novels?" Lu Qianzi asked.

Liu Ruying flicked the ticket in her hand and said, "I already have one of these tickets."

After saying that, she opened her handbag and pulled out another identical ticket.

The ticket in her hand looked a bit crumpled, but both the watermark on the ticket and the skirt mark in the lower right corner were undoubtedly the same as the one in her other hand.

"Ok??"

Xiao Qing felt it was particularly amazing. He reached out and took both of her tickets, compared them for a long time, and then looked up and asked:

"Where did this come from? Did you take an extra one?"

Liu Ruying shook her head.

"You've been to other people's livehouses before?... No, the tickets they gave out were different. This is Yun Shang'er's first performance..."

After saying that, Xiao Qing became more and more confused and asked, "Then where did you get this ticket?"

Liu Ruying tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't remember."

"what?"

"I really don't remember," Liu Ruying said. "I've been so busy these past few days, receiving so many people, I don't even remember who gave me this ticket."

"……what?"

Lu Qianzi took the ticket from Xiao Qing, examined it for a long time, and then handed it to Lu Qingxuan and Qi Yunche. The women studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"So, I'm wondering if time travel even exists," Liu Ruying said. "I suspect I did time travel, traveling to a few days in the future and getting a ticket there."

After a long pause, Xiao Qing finally managed to utter a single sentence: "Amazing."

In fact, Liu Ruying had not forgotten where this strange ticket came from.

The ticket was given to her by Chen Ya.

After the negotiation meeting, Chen Ya casually gave her a ticket without explaining anything, simply telling her that she could go see it when she had time.

She initially thought it was a perk the management gave to the employees.

After Qin Yunshang explained the program's rules, she realized that the ticket might not be for sale.

If that's the case... then where did Chen Ya get this ticket from?

Could he be...?

After thinking about it, the most likely conclusion she came to was that Chen Ya and Qin Yunshang had met before.

The two might even be somewhat acquainted; Chen Ya may have gotten the tickets directly from Qin Yunshang and casually gave them to himself.

Thinking of this, she turned around with the others and happened to see Qin Yunchu chatting with Jiang Xinhai at the table.

Qin Yunchu had bright, beautiful eyes, and her slightly wavy black hair was styled into an elegant updo. Her long, slender legs, crossed under the table, also exuded femininity.

Perhaps... Liu Ruying thought, maybe Qin Yunchu gave that ticket to the boss.

Their relationship might not be so simple.

Regardless of the circumstances, Liu Ruying decided to bury this matter deep in her heart.

It's best not to meddle too much in the boss's affairs. This is a principle that an assistant should adhere to.

……

Chen Ya rubbed his nose, feeling a little itchy.

"What's wrong? Don't act like that when you get to the hospital," Ruriko said. "The doctors there are all like robots."

"I know. I can handle it." Chen Ya nodded.

He carefully examined Liulizi and noticed that her face was serious, as if she were a little nervous.

She makes this face whenever she's nervous. It's kind of cute.

"Relax, don't be too nervous," Chen Ya said. "As long as we don't make more than two mistakes, we won't get caught."

Ruriko rolled her eyes and said, "Thank you for your comfort, it was very helpful."

The two looked across the street at the hospital, where a suspicious man in a suit was still guarding the entrance.

Xia You's voice came through the headset: "I'm ready. Give me three minutes."

Liuli said bluntly, "We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Sorry, I'm taking the college entrance exam, and I took the Chinese exam," Xia You said on the other end of the headset. "I handed in my paper early and I'm in the bathroom now."

Chen Ya sighed. He hadn't wanted to interfere with Xia You's affairs, but she insisted on joining the operation.

"Are you confident?" Chen Ya asked.

"About 90%," Xia You said. "This system is outdated. I reckon they embezzled a lot of money on maintenance."

“I didn’t ask you that,” Chen Ya said. “I asked you if you were confident you could get into Peking University.”

"Oh, this?" Xia You shrugged indifferently. "I don't know. Anyway, it's Chinese, so I can just do it casually."

Liulizi frowned slightly and glared at Chen Ya, as if to say, "What time is it?"

"Is there a math exam this afternoon?" Chen Ya asked. "It's been so long, I've forgotten."

“You don’t live in that era at all,” Xia You pointed out. “By the way, we even tested you on this morning; they used your book for a reading comprehension question.”

Chen Ya said, "Don't test me with this; I might not even be able to do it myself."

"Okay, it's done," Xia You said.

The two looked up at the same time.

They could also see Xia You's achievements.

At that moment, a piercing alarm was sounding from the hospital across the street.

That was an earthquake warning, alerting people to evacuate immediately.

Chen Ya and Liu Lizi stood up at the same time and walked towards the hospital.

"The operation begins," Chen Ya said. "Today, I'll let you see your grandfather."

Ruriko took a deep breath, her small face showing helplessness; she was still very nervous.

"I hope he's still alive," Liulizi said weakly.

Chapter 470 Hormones at Work

The two walked towards the hospital, where everyone was being evacuated outside, but they were the only ones going against the flow.

Xia You's voice came through the earpiece:

"The journey from the laundry room to the underground parking garage was smooth, the elevators were empty, and everything was OK."

"Let's go," Chen Ya said.

He took Ruriko's hand, and a young man dressed as a caregiver walked over, pushing a cleaning cart.

Chen Ya took the car without saying a word, then passed by without attracting any attention in the crowded throng.

The two pushed the cleaning cart directly into the laundry room, and when they came out, they had both changed their clothes.

Chen Ya was wearing a white coat, while Liulizi was wearing a nurse's uniform. Both of them had name tags on their chests, making them look exactly like hospital staff.

A pink nurse's uniform clung to Liulizi's curvaceous body. Her eyes, brimming with tears, looked at Chen Ya and asked:

"How about it?"

Chen Ya looked him up and down for a while and said, "It feels even better with a mask on."

"That's not what I'm asking you. I'm asking if the clothes fit."

"It suits you perfectly."

"...Although I'm happy, that's not what I meant."

Ruriko blushed and put on a mask. The two walked from the underground parking garage to the elevator entrance.

Because of the earthquake alarm, no one was using the elevator, and the two of them went straight to the top floor without any obstacles.

"The high-rise area has not been evacuated," Xia You's reminder came through the earpiece. "Just like in the emergency plan, the fire doors have been lowered."

"Understood," Chen Ya said.

The hospital in this triangular group has the highest level of earthquake resistance, especially the inpatient building where Matsuya Asai lives.

The moment the earthquake alarm sounded, the backup power and emergency survival system were activated. Even if the building collapses during an earthquake, it can support the survival of patients and their families for more than three days.

"What's the defense situation?" Chen Ya asked as he stepped out of the elevator.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look from another angle..." Xia You's voice suddenly became anxious, "The guards at the entrance of the special care ward have not been evacuated."

Chen Ya asked, "How many people are there?"

Xia You paused for a moment, then said, "You can see two on the camera."

"Two." Chen Ya repeated emotionlessly, without expressing any opinion.

"What should we do?" Ruriko asked, turning her head.

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail."

Say something I can understand.

"Stand behind me."

He walked to the fireproof roller shutter door, pressed the lift button, and the roller shutter door slowly rose.

Beyond the roller shutter door was a heavy, double door of mahogany color, where two thugs in suits stood guard with their hands clasped together.

Just as the roller shutter door rose to a point where both sides could just see each other's faces, and the two guards opposite had just shown expressions of confusion, Chen Ya made his move.

With a clean and decisive Superman punch, one of them was knocked to the ground. The opponent reacted quickly, and Chen Ya used a hook punch to deflect the other person's attack.

Chen Ya launched a series of rapid attacks, finally grabbing the man's long hair and throwing him to the ground. He then used an armbar to dislocate the man's thigh joint.

He finished dealing with the fight before the other man, who was half-conscious, could get up, and then knocked out the other man.

In the blink of an eye, the two guards from the Tianshan Society were dealt with.

Liulizi peeked out from behind Chen Ya, her eyes darting around as she looked the two men up and down.
