The doctor sighed, "I'm very sorry. We've already done our best. As for how far the patient can go, it all depends on her now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Siyang suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart.
At this moment, the doctor added, "By the way, we are just ordinary doctors, and saving her is indeed beyond our capability. But if the dean is willing to take action, there might be more chances."
"The dean?"
"Yes. Our dean, like you, is also a Sequence Ability User. Her Sequence Ability is [Healer]."
Qin Siyang's hope immediately reignited, "How can I contact your dean?"
The doctor thought for a moment and said, "But our dean hasn't performed surgery in a long time. Even when the Director of the Sequence Ability User Administration Bureau came to the hospital for treatment, she just sent the director to another hospital in a different district and didn't intervene herself."
"Not even the director of the Bureau?", Qin Siyang, upon hearing this, had his newly lit hope shattered once again.
He didn't believe he could get something that even the Bureau Director couldn't.
Money? The Bureau Director must have more than him.
Sequence Potions? The Bureau Director probably had his own allocation, which wouldn't be inferior to his.
And money and Sequence Potions were Qin Siyang's only real bargaining chips at the moment.
It seemed that the hospital dean wouldn't be swayed by these two things.
Teacher Zhu's condition still hadn't improved.
Just then, the doctor's phone rang, "Hello, Dean, it's me. Hm? You want Qin Siyang to go to your office? Yes, he's right beside me. Okay, I understand."
The doctor looked at Qin Siyang with some surprise, "The dean asked you to go to her office. I don't know why either. But maybe… she's willing to help you?"
Qin Siyang was also a little surprised.
This dean wanted to see him, what exactly did she see in him?
Could it be, like Olov, she knew his secret?
But Olov had been investigating cases all along, so it made sense that he could deduce his background. What about the hospital dean? How would she know?
Could it be that the dean and Olov were in cahoots?
Regardless, since the dean had taken the initiative to summon him, Qin Siyang had to go and find out.
He took the elevator to the fifth floor of the hospital. This floor could only be accessed by the elevator, and the entire level was reserved for the dean's office.
After registering at the reception desk near the elevator and waiting for a short while, he was led into the dean's office.
As soon as Qin Siyang entered, a subtle fragrance filled his nostrils.
It was a scent similar to the one he had smelled when meeting Roylena before, though Roylena's perfume had been more intense.
The fragrance in the dean's office was more mature and composed.
Qin Siyang glanced around the office and found many medical devices he had never seen before. Their designs were rather peculiar, likely modified based on the dean's Sequence Ability.
"Is that Qin Siyang? Come in," A mature and gentle female voice came from an inner room.
"Alright, Dean," Qin Siyang walked to the partitioned area and pushed open the door.
Inside, a long-haired, intellectual-looking beauty sat in front of a computer, typing away.
She wore a loose business suit, yet it did nothing to conceal her impressive figure. The refined charm accumulated over the years made Qin Siyang momentarily stunned.
The dean smiled and said, "Sit down first. Just wait a moment; I'll be done with my work soon."
"Alright," Qin Siyang sat on the sofa, pondering how this situation would develop next.
'Hopefully, it won't head in a weird direction.'
Before long, the crisp sound of a keyboard being tapped stopped. The dean turned her gaze to Qin Siyang.
Adjusting her thin-framed glasses, she revealed a mature smile, "You're Qin Siyang? A student from [Ju'an Academy]?"
"Yes, that's me."
"That Zhu Li, is she your family?"
"No, she's my teacher."
"Your teacher? She's just your teacher, yet you care about her this much?"
"Before I awakened my Sequence, she took good care of me. So, I want to repay her kindness."
"But her kindness to you shouldn't be worth this much effort from you. I heard you even killed someone in the hospital for her just now?"
Qin Siyang calmly replied, "I repay my friends' kindness and my enemies' hatred, both with interest."
The dean smiled slightly at his words, "Interesting kid. Alright, I accept your reason. I am Chen Fenghe, the dean of the 14121 Safe Zone Hospital."
"Dean Chen, nice to meet you."
"Here's the deal, I'm willing to arrange your teacher's surgery and personally oversee her treatment. However, I have conditions."
Qin Siyang remained silent, quietly watching Chen Fenghe, waiting for her to state her demands.
Chen Fenghe was a little surprised at his composure.
"Aren't you curious about my conditions?"
"I heard that even the Bureau Director came to you for treatment and was politely refused. So, I assume your conditions have nothing to do with Sequence Potions or money. Whatever conditions you set are likely extremely difficult to fulfill. So, rather than being curious, I'm more concerned."
"What a little fox," Chen Fenghe chuckled.
There were already faint traces of age at the corners of her eyes, but they only made her more charming.
"Actually, my request isn't that difficult. At least, for you, it should be a piece of cake."
Qin Siyang swallowed cautiously, feeling wary.
"The stories of you hunting gods outside the Safe Zone have already spread. Everyone knows that our Safe Zone has an incredibly powerful young man."
"You flatter me. So, are you asking me to hunt gods?"
"Of course not. What do those monsters outside the Safe Zone have to do with me? I'm just a doctor, not a ruler."
Qin Siyang was even more puzzled, "Then what do you mean?"
"When you were outside the Safe Zone hunting gods, you had a [Insurer], which was your principal, Li Tianming, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"If he was willing to be your [Insurer], then he must be quite close to you."
"Well… I guess so."
Qin Siyang didn't want to confirm it too firmly, just in case he couldn't refuse Chen Fenghe's request later.
"If you're close to him, then you should know he's been framed, right?"
'Li Tianming was framed?'
Qin Siyang's heart suddenly tightened.
'So Chen Fenghe isn't after me, she is after Li Tianming?'
Qin Siyang didn't know how many people were aware of Li Tianming's situation, nor did he know if Chen Fenghe was an enemy or an ally.
To be cautious, he simply shook his head, "I don't know."
Chen Fenghe said, "Use your phone and call him."
Call Li Tianming? Did Chen Fenghe want to speak with him directly?
That would indeed be a good solution.
After all, Qin Siyang wasn't clear on the details. If he said the wrong thing and messed up Li Tianming's situation, that would be bad.
He dialed Li Tianming's number and then handed the phone to Chen Fenghe.
On the other end, Li Tianming's rough voice came through, ["Hello? What do you want this time, kid? I'm busy, so speak quickly."]
But unexpectedly, Chen Fenghe's eyes suddenly reddened, ["Li Tianming! You heartless bastard!!"]
