Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Unlike what he had seen before, the trash can in this cubicle was overturned, and the toilet paper inside was half-piled on the floor. A few drops of yellowish liquid with an unknown odor dripped from the rim of the toilet, irritating his eyes and nose.

Yu Zhuo remembered that when he entered this cubicle before, it was cleaner than the others.

Inside were empty trash cans, and the ceramic lid behind the toilet was clean and shiny. Yu Zhuo pressed the flush button in every stall, but only the water in this stall was relatively clear.

It was so clear that it contained absolutely no yellow tinge.

The restroom was noisy, and the nurses who had just entered all looked surprised and uncertain, whispering among themselves.

"Who is he? What happened?"

"There are guards all downstairs. I heard that Prince Rayleigh's jewels have been stolen. What a big fuss..."

"Who would hide jewels in a hospital? Could it be a doctor from our hospital who stole them?"

"Don't talk nonsense! This is a serious crime..."

Yu Chengyang arrived here with his men shortly afterward. The number of guards allowed to enter the seventh floor was limited, so they could not go any further inside. They simply surrounded the restroom completely.

"You found it? Where is it?" Yu Chengyang covered his mouth and nose, glanced around at the people inside, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Don't tell me you're just bored and sending signals for fun."

Yu Zhuo turned around, glanced at the dirty tissues on the ground, and pressed the flush button on the back again.

The water in the tank rushed down quickly. Unlike what Yu Zhuo remembered, this time the water was the same color as the other compartments, slightly yellowish.

Yu Zhuo had already learned enough, and seeing Yu Chengyang standing at the door of the cubicle, he simply made room for him.

“Team Leader Yu, I guess… I’m just guessing, the gem might be inside this water tank.” Yu Zhuo pressed the button on it and said, “But I can’t be sure if the gem inside is intact.”

Yu Chengyang frowned: "What do you mean?"

Yu Zhuo didn't say anything more. He had someone close the bathroom window and door. After the lights were turned off, Yu Zhuo removed the lid of the water tank at the back.

A faint light slowly emanated from within. Yu Chengyang immediately took a step forward and saw four or five perfectly round, pure white jade stones placed in the water. The water surface was yellowish, and the edges of these jade stones already had fine cracks.

Yu Chengyang cursed under his breath: "That damn thing actually broke into the safe?!"

The seawater in the safe is the only liquid that can preserve deep-sea crystals.

Deep-sea stones cannot be removed from the water surface and have extremely high requirements for water quality. Even if they are placed back into clear tap water after being removed from seawater, they will slowly crack due to the inability to adapt to the environment.

Yu Chengyang immediately summoned the guards waiting outside and asked them to bring up the storage box that had been prepared earlier.

There was seawater prepared inside the box; if we retrieved Akashi now, there might still be a chance of saving him.

"That damned thing! If Ming Shi breaks, we're all finished! His Majesty isn't easily fooled!" Yu Chengyang said angrily. "How could he stuff a gemstone in there?"

Yu Zhuo stood silently to the side without saying a word.

The thief hid Akashi in a water tank, perhaps also wanting to preserve the gemstone, so he filled it with seawater.

Unexpectedly, when Yu Zhu went in to check, he used the seawater to flush the toilet, causing the water inside to turn into murky yellow water.

The gemstone would soon break after being washed with yellow water several times, so the thief could only make the toilet stall dirty and smelly to prevent anyone else from entering.

—Until the surgery is over. After the surgery, this cunning thief can come in with the nurse and then find any excuse to stay in the cubicle.

He can wait inside until all the guards have been worn away.

After all, Yu Zhuo had already inspected this place.

Yu Zhuo glanced at the surrounding crowd, but the male nurse who had been pulling up his pants was nowhere to be seen.

"Let's take Akashi away first. The damage isn't too serious yet, and it might be repairable," Yu Zhuo said.

“I know.” Yu Chengyang frowned and sighed. Seeing Yu Zhuo walk out, he paused and followed behind him. “You said you’re not a thief, then where is he?”

"Uh..." Yu Zhuo didn't expect Yu Chengyang to place such high hopes on him. He spread his hands and said, "At most, I can only find gems. That thief escaped too quickly; I can't find him. Besides, isn't that your mission?"

Yu Chengyang smirked: "I was just asking you. I'll find him myself later."

“Alright.” Yu Zhuo walked down the stairs. “Where is the Earl?”

"Still resting downstairs."

Yu Zhuo nodded. As he walked, he felt a gaze following him and looked up.

Li Su stood in front of the glass window upstairs, his posture upright, his hands in the pockets of his white coat, looking at Yu Zhu with a detached expression.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, then Li Su looked away and walked into the lounge next door.

"looking at what?"

Hearing the sound, Yu Zhuo turned around and realized that he had already reached the edge of the corridor. Zhou Yanshu, with a small blanket covering his legs, was sitting not far away. He coughed when he saw Yu Zhuo.

Yu Zhuo raised the corner of her eye: "How did you know I was here?"

He didn't take the same path as before, and he wasn't planning to go back to find Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu simply stated, "He just happened to be passing by."

He looked at Yu Zhuo as he spoke and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"I didn't plan to do anything, I just wanted to prove my loyalty to you." Yu Zhuo walked behind Zhou Yanshu and pushed the wheelchair forward with him.

"Really?" Zhou Yanshu turned his gaze. "How can you prove it?"

"You'll know right away."

Yu Zhuo and Zhou Yanshu went down to the first floor together. After he went downstairs, he made a gesture to Zhou Yanshu and whispered, "I'm going to find someone first. He's inside. If I don't come out within three minutes, you can go in directly."

Zhou Yanshu raised an eyebrow, glanced at the corridor behind Yu Zhuo, and nodded casually.

Yu Zhuo turned around and walked into the corridor. The corridor was dimly lit. Yu Zhuo stopped in front of the innermost room—a changing room for hospital cleaners.

Yu Zhuo ignored the lock on the door, kicked it open, and greeted the people inside.

"Have you changed your clothes? I left something on you."

The person in the changing room had just taken off his nurse's uniform; his upper body was naked, and one leg was just inserted into his dark blue work clothes.

He shuddered at the sound and immediately turned to look at Yu Zhuo warily.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable, managing to find this." The cleaner put on his baseball cap, stared at Yu Zhuo, and reached out to grab the clothes rack next to him.

He is a C-level, and Yu Zhuo is also a C-level; they are evenly matched.

Yu Zhuo looked at him and said, "There are guards all around. If you fight me, you won't be able to escape. Yu Chengyang is furious because you broke the gemstone. If you go to jail, you'll be in prison for at least twenty years."

"Don't you know who broke that gem?" the cleaner sneered. "You've been using seawater to flush the toilets; all that yellowish water in there is from you!"

"Who knows?" Yu Zhu shrugged. "As long as I don't admit it, it was you who did it. Who told you to stuff the gemstone in the toilet?"

"You!" The cleaner tightened his grip on the clothes rack, his voice cold. "What do you want from me now?"
