Wu Xia's complexion turned a ghastly shade of ashen.
Before him stood Chen Chaoyang, his college dormmate who used to sleep in the bunk above him, his best brother.
A top student at the university, he had been fought over by various major hospitals even before graduation and eventually made it into the provincial capital's top hospital.
When Huang Lei framed Wu Xia, Chen Chaoyang had spoken out in Wu Xia's defense, even pulling some strings to invite Wu Xia to join him at the provincial capital hospital.
How could such an outstanding person fall to such depths?
Wu Xia quickly hung his head, not daring to meet Chen Chaoyang's gaze for fear of embarrassment.
But the landlady didn't care about that, raising her voice to say, "Come here, Chen, this is your hard-earned money from last night, take it!"
She pulled out a stack of bills and handed about ten to Chen Chaoyang, then yanked him over.
"Go on, tell the young man how working with me means easy money and comfort!"
