Chapter 116
The moment Yun Youyou entered the office, she noticed a freshly brewed cup of tea sitting on her desk.
Even the computer had thoughtfully been turned on for her.
The Bald Male Manager stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a rag in his hand, wiping the glass.
When he saw Yun Youyou come in, he immediately stepped forward and said eagerly, “Sister Yun, the air conditioner has already been set to the most comfortable temperature, and I turned on the computer for you too. I also prepared a few snacks over there. You can have some if you get hungry.”
Yun Youyou said, “You’re far too kind.”
The Bald Male Manager hurriedly replied, “It was nothing, just something I did in passing. You go ahead and get to work. I’ll be heading out now.”
He smiled as he backed out of the office.
He had only just closed the office door when the receptionist downstairs came looking for him.
“Manager, there are two people downstairs looking for Sister Youyou.”
The smile on the Bald Male Manager’s lips had not yet faded, but the moment he turned and saw the receptionist, his face immediately fell again.
“Who’s looking for Yun Youyou?”
The receptionist shook her head and said blankly, “I don’t know either, but they look like they’re not easy to mess with.”
A ripple of excitement stirred in the Bald Male Manager’s heart.
Could it be that Yun Youyou’s enemies had come knocking?
Or perhaps Yun Youyou had violated some rule of the Game, and now someone had come to arrest her?
That would be wonderful!
The more the Bald Male Manager thought about it, the happier he became.
Ideally, they would arrest Yun Youyou, throw her in prison, torture her mercilessly, and then feed her to the ghosts and monsters in the Game.
By the time the Bald Male Manager thought of that, the corners of his mouth were already lifting uncontrollably.
He cleared his throat and forced down his smile.
“Then I’ll go down and take a look.”
His face still managed to look calm, but the hurried pace beneath the Bald Male Manager’s feet had already betrayed his true feelings.
The young receptionist practically had to jog to keep up with him.
When the elevator doors opened, there were indeed two men in the lobby wearing blue shirts and black trousers. Both of them had fierce expressions.
The Bald Male Manager became even more certain of his guess.
They were definitely here to take revenge on Yun Youyou!
He walked up with a smile and said, “You two are here for Yun Youyou, right?”
One of the men nodded. “That’s right. Where is she?”
The Bald Male Manager could barely keep the joy off his face. “She’s upstairs. I’ll take you to her!”
The three of them stepped into the elevator together.
After the Bald Male Manager pressed the button, he turned and offered the two men a few pointers.
“Yun Youyou is an extremely vicious person. You must not let your guard down. She can infuriate someone half to death with that mouth of hers alone. I happen to have two pairs of earplugs here. Hurry up and plug your ears. Later, don’t give her any chance to speak. Just arrest her right away!”
Before the two men could refuse, the Bald Male Manager had already stuffed earplugs into his own ears and was happily humming a tune beside them.
The two men exchanged a glance and silently held the earplugs in their hands.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the Bald Male Manager took the lead and charged straight toward Yun Youyou’s office.
In just a few short seconds, he had completely changed his expression.
The gloating look from moments ago had now turned into a face full of concern.
He rushed into the office in a panic.
“Sister Yun! Hurry and run! There are two people outside here to arrest you! I tried to stop them, but I couldn’t hold them back!”
The two men who witnessed this face-changing performance on the spot: “…”
Yun Youyou lifted her head from the computer, her hand still unhurriedly moving the mouse to harvest crops.
When she saw the Bald Male Manager rush in, she merely glanced at him faintly.
“Who’s trying to arrest me?”
Bald Male Manager jogged over to Yun Youyou’s side.
“It’s those two men outside! But don’t worry, Sister Yun. In a moment, I’ll stand in front of you. I absolutely won’t let the two of them take you away!”
As Bald Male Manager proclaimed his loyalty to Yun Youyou, he shot meaningful looks at the two men outside the door.
What are you standing around for?
Hurry up and come in here to arrest Yun Youyou!
Hearing Bald Male Manager’s heartfelt declaration of loyalty, Yun Youyou let out a soft laugh.
“Is that so?”
Just then, the two men outside stepped into the office.
One of them said, “I believe this gentleman has misunderstood. We are not here to arrest Miss Yun Youyou. We are here to present Miss Yun Youyou with a certificate of commendation.”
Bald Male Manager was completely dumbfounded.
“A certificate of commendation? What certificate?”
The other man took out the certificate they had prepared in advance and presented it to Yun Youyou.
The bright red certificate looked extremely festive.
Yun Youyou focused her eyes on it and discovered the words “Game’s Best Good Citizen” written across the top.
Somehow, she had become an exemplary citizen in the Game.
“Miss Yun Youyou actively reported the factory’s violations to us, allowing our law enforcement to improve. Therefore, we are specially presenting this certificate as a token of our gratitude.”
Bald Male Manager froze on the spot.
Wait!
This wasn’t how he had imagined things going at all!
He stepped forward in shock. “Could you have made a mistake? Why would the Game give her a certificate?”
“There is no mistake. We came today to present Miss Yun with this certificate. However, it is true that we need to arrest a ghost.”
The man looked at Bald Male Manager with a half-smile.
Even Yun Youyou put down the Game on her computer and watched the three of them with great interest.
A bad feeling flashed through Bald Male Manager’s heart.
“W-Who are you here to arrest?”
“Someone reported that the manager of this Company had an under-the-table deal with the factory we shut down, and they also provided conclusive evidence.”
The Game would never allow ghosts to carry out this kind of shady manipulation inside an Instance.
It simply hadn’t bothered to deal with it before. Now that the matter had been shoved right under its nose, it might as well handle it in passing.
The man looked at Bald Male Manager and smiled with ill intent.
“Aren’t you the manager of this Company?”
Bald Male Manager had never expected such a complete reversal.
Cold sweat kept breaking out across his back, and a chill shot up from his knees.
“No, I’m not the manager of this Company! I’m just an ordinary employee.”
“My stomach suddenly hurts a little. I need to go to the bathroom.”
Bald Male Manager gave an awkward smile and inched toward the door along the wall.
“Manager, where do you think you’re going?”
Xiao Wang was leaning leisurely against the doorframe, his eyes fixed tightly on Bald Male Manager.
Looking at Xiao Wang, who had appeared at some unknown point, Bald Male Manager cursed him viciously in his heart.
But on the surface, he still didn’t reveal anything. Forcing a smile, he said, “The manager went on a business trip, didn’t he? He isn’t here right now.”
Xiao Wang played dumb.
“Manager, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren’t you right here?”
With that, Bald Male Manager finally realized what was going on.
The person who had reported him had to be Xiao Wang!
Bald Male Manager suddenly shoved Xiao Wang aside and sprinted out.
But before he had taken more than a few steps, a Tentacle abruptly pierced straight through Bald Male Manager’s heart.
Bald Male Manager collapsed limply to the floor.
Yun Youyou withdrew her Tentacle with a faint smile, took a napkin, and wiped the blood from it.
