Upon hearing Gao Min’s words, Aunt Mei immediately felt a sense of guilt. Her voice lost its previous volume as she responded, ” You don’t have to worry about that. Just go ahead and punish those two. In my opinion, these two individuals don’t understand what it means to serve the people. You might as well terminate their employment…”

what it means to serve the people. You might as well terminate their employment…”

Aunt Mei continued speaking, and Gao Min’s gaze grew colder. She calmly stated, “Alright, auntie, have you finished? If so, please go find your daughter-in-law first. They made a mistake, and I will deal with it accordingly.”

Gao Min exuded the authority of a leader, and Aunt Mei instantly felt the psychological pressure.

Opening her mouth to speak, Aunt Mei hesitated and eventually refrained from saying anything more. She shot a stern look at Ye Ling and Yun Jie before turning to leave.

Once Aunt Mei departed, Gao Min cast a fleeting glance at Ye Ling and Yun Jie before entering the house with her belongings.

Inside the house, Gao Min found a stool and seated herself. She directed her gaze at the two and said, “Alright, spill it. What exactly happened?”

Ye Ling and Yun Jie exchanged glances.

Subsequently, Yun Jie moistened her lips and, with nervousness evident in her expression, began recounting the events of the past few days.

Due to the intricate details, Yun Jie’s narrative spanned over twenty minutes.

To shield Ye Ling from potential blame, Yun Jie occasionally interjected supportive remarks for her during the recounting.

Throughout the narration, Gao Min occasionally furrowed her brows and, now and then, shifted her gaze towards Ye Ling.

When Yun Jie reached the part about Ye Ling reviving Ah Hui, Gao Min’s expression finally changed. However, she did not immediately interrupt Yun Jie, allowing her to continue.

Yun Jie clarified the true reason behind Ah Hui’s “resurrection” and added, “The auntie had originally bought Ah Hui from human traffickers. After Ah Hui went to her house, both she and her eldest daughter-in-law would frequently subject Ah Hui to physical abuse. Ye Ling and I felt that if Ah Hui were to return to that household, her fate would only be as tragic as before.”

“And?” Gao Min asked nonchalantly.

Feeling somewhat uneasy, Yun Jie hesitated on how to explain further, but Ye Ling interjected, “So, I took Ah Hui to a friend of mine in town.”

Gao Min furrowed her brows and looked up at Ye Ling.

At this point, Gao Min finally grasped the situation. Ye Ling had left her post during working hours not only because she had sensed an abnormality in Ma Biao’s family but also to prevent potential repercussions for the pharmacy if the patient faced complications after taking the medication.

If it weren’t for Ye Ling, Ah Hui might not have survived. In the event of Ah Hui’s death, Aunt Mei would have brought the body to the pharmacy, demanding compensation and causing significant harm to the pharmacy’s reputation.

Gao Min acknowledged that Ye Ling’s vigilance and perceptiveness had averted a potential risk.

Observing Ye Ling’s attitude towards Ah Hui during Yun Jie’s narrative, Gao

Min could tell that Ye Ling genuinely wanted to help Ah Hui. Sympathy for Ah Hui’s fate drove Ye Ling to devise this intricate plan to facilitate Ah Hui’s escape.

During Yun Jie’s account, Gao Min experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. She hadn’t expected such courage and determination from a young woman like Ye Ling.

However, from another perspective, it showcased Ye Ling’s capabilities. Her confidence in executing the plan stemmed from her exceptional medical skills.

Yun Jie, thinking Gao Min was about to rebuke Ye Ling, hurriedly defended her, “Sister Gao, Ye Ling just wanted to help Ah Hui. You didn’t see the injuries on

Ah Hui’s body. She’s truly pitiful. And can you believe it? Ah Hui is only fifteen!”

“Alright, alright. Did I mention punishing Ye Ling? You seem more anxious than she is,” Gao Min interjected.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jie turned to Ye Ling and noticed her calm demeanor, as if she weren’t concerned about potential punishment from Gao Min.

Gao Min observed Ye Ling and calmly stated, “You have a kind heart, which is a good thing. However, your actions were too bold. Have you considered what would happen if your plan had failed?”

Ye Ling nodded, agreeing, “Sister Gao is right. I took too much risk.”

For a moment, Gao Min found herself at a loss for words. While Ye Ling’s admission of fault was commendable, Gao Min couldn’t shake the feeling that if faced with a similar situation again, Ye Ling might repeat the same actions..
