Ninth class citizen

Chapter 56 We Have Legitimate Reasons

Melissa was really angry. Outsiders respected her as the legitimate daughter of the Campbell family, and their eyes were full of envy and admiration, but who could have known the family's high standards and strict requirements for her?
If you are not careful, you will be replaced by a better branch. For example, Ivni is studying with Master Albertini.
So she couldn't make any mistakes and could only move forward.

This time, coming to Xiluo Star, the main purpose is to gain experience, but it is also an important test in the family.

During this period, the mortality rate of patients at the Genetic Disease Hospital in Hexi Province was directly related to her score.

This is why she asked Dean An to provide all patients whose lives are in danger in the near future and include them in the first batch of rescue lists.

However, judging from the current results, he has undoubtedly betrayed his trust.

Dean An's back was soaked with cold sweat that suddenly broke out.

"I absolutely dare not have such thoughts!" He subconsciously defended himself loudly: "This sick child, this sick child's matter has other reasons, yes, please listen to my explanation"

He said he was explaining, but in his haste, he couldn't think of any reasonable excuse. His face turned red with anxiety, but he couldn't utter a word.

Nan Rong spoke at this time, and said lightly: "In fact, she was not included in the first batch of rescue list you provided, right?"

She ignored Dean An, who was already sweating profusely, and used her free hand to open the list on the table in front of Melissa. After a quick glance, she pursed her lips and said, "I really guessed it right."

"I can explain this matter." The vice president in charge of hospital affairs had already made up his mind and stepped forward to help his boss out:

"This child suffered genetic degeneration after failing to awaken his fire-type supernatural power. He stayed at home for some time and was not admitted to the hospital until yesterday. Our eligibility screening began last week, so..."

"So she just didn't make it."

Nan Rong sighed and said, "Besides that, I guess you also want to say that you have deliberately taken into account Ms. Melissa's ability and workload, so although the patients selected this time are critical, you have deliberately eliminated those who are in urgent need of treatment?"

"What the assistant said is absolutely correct. That's exactly what we were thinking!" Dean An didn't expect Nan Rong to take the initiative to hand him the ladder. His feelings towards her immediately rose from the bottom of the abyss to the sky:
"We have a lot of contact with the Gene Research Institute in our work, and we understand all the gene optimizers very well. Synthesizing drugs is too difficult. Ability is one thing, but keeping a calm and peaceful mind is more important."

"Under such circumstances, if we also put these patients who are in danger of dying every day into the cooperation list, wouldn't that be tantamount to causing trouble for you, Your Excellency?"

"So that's how it is." Melissa's eyes were cold, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Then shouldn't I thank you for your thoughtfulness?"

"It's what we should do." The dean smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits: "How dare I accept your compliment, Your Excellency?"

"You really don't deserve it." Nan Rong quickly put away his smile and said in a cold voice: "You use your kindness in helping the sick as a bargaining chip for the rich and powerful - I guess none of the people on the list are F-level ninth-class citizens, right?"

"That's not true!" The dean's breathing became heavier.

But Nan Rong was telling the truth, and the list was there, so it was easy to check. He could only try his best to explain, "It was just a coincidence, really. Please believe me!"

This statement is tantamount to a disguised admission that there are indeed no F-level ninth-class citizens in the list.

Melissa's expression became indifferent.

She stopped looking at him and said casually, "Contact White immediately and ask him to check on Dean An. I suspect he abused his power while in office and stole and sold the welfare potion provided by the institute."

The White she was talking about was the highest executive officer of the Hessi Province. As soon as Melissa finished speaking, the head of the personal guard who had always been standing behind her had sent the message through the terminal and received a reply immediately.

"Chief White is very grateful for your report and has personally issued an arrest warrant for Ampere. The new dean will be in office immediately and will ensure that he will cooperate with you meticulously to complete this training."

The meeting room was in complete silence, and Dean An looked ashen. His former subordinates also avoided his gaze and refused to look him in the eye again.

Melissa's guard opened the office door and unceremoniously "invited" him out.

The security captain, who had received the relevant orders, had already brought his men upstairs and handcuffed Ampere neatly, without any regard for the former leader's dignity.

Everyone knew that the best outcome for him would be to spend the rest of his life in federal prison, never to have a decent life again.

It didn't take long for the people at the Federal Genetic Research Institute to go from simply watching the fun to also breaking out in cold sweats.

In everyone's eyes, although the order to arrest people was given by Melissa, the assistant who led all this was even more terrifying.

It was she who brought the dying child and lured Ampere into the verbal trap with every word.

They were even more impressed by the fact that Lady Melissa had unreserved trust in her and decided Ampere's fate without even conducting any verification.

Everyone reminded themselves that they must be extremely respectful and careful when treating this assistant, and they must not offend her even if it meant putting themselves in a difficult position.

"Mei, Her Excellency Melissa, Assistant." The director of the Genetic Research Institute glanced at Nan Rong and said hesitantly:

"Our institute really didn't know anything about Ampere's situation. We have allocated the welfare medicines on time every quarter, but due to limited capacity, the quantity and grade of the medicines are not as satisfactory as expected. But we have tried our best."

Nan Rong didn't say anything. Melissa glanced at him with a half-smile: "No one suspects you, why are you feeling guilty?"

"Ah, that, I don't have it." Sweat broke out on the director's forehead.

He was really not used to the way the higher-level aliens spoke and acted. They were very straightforward and didn't know how to be tactful at all. Moreover, they would get angry if they disagreed with something. It really made people dare not even get angry.

"Teacher Melissa." Nan Rong suddenly spoke up: "Ava doesn't seem to be in good condition."

She watched Ampere's fate with cold eyes. Although she didn't know why Melissa trusted her so much, she admired her decisive approach.

The little girl in his arms' body temperature gradually rose and her heartbeat kept getting faster and faster. It was obvious that she was approaching the terminal stage and was about to die.

Melissa signaled to the captain of the guard to take out a one-foot square rose-red metal block.

The metal block is seamless and there is no visible mechanism to open it.

She opened her palm and placed it over the block of metal.

The top surface of the metal block suddenly faded away like melted butter, revealing what was inside.
