019. The Deputy Dean’s Secret

It was already seven in the evening, so there were few people in the administration building.

Lin Shan slipped into a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.

Hua Xiong’s office was on the first floor. He and a woman entered his office one after the other, leaving the door ajar.

Seeing this, Lin Shan slightly adjusted the camera facing the office door, raising it a bit and moving closer. To his surprise, there was not a single sound inside the office.

Curious, Lin Shan slowly stepped inside.

The office was empty, yet he had just seen Hua Xiong and the woman enter.

“Could there be a secret room here?” Lin Shan wondered, examining the surroundings with interest.

At that moment, a faint noise came from one of the walls. Lin Shan quickly hid inside a nearby cabinet, leaving a crack open to see through.

His suspicion was correct. The office indeed had a secret chamber. A wall slid open, and Hua Xiong and the woman emerged from behind it.

The woman had voluminous wavy hair, wore a pink pencil skirt, and sky-high heels. Her expression was seductive as she linked arms with Hua Xiong and said, “Director~ I’m counting on you for the promotion.”

Hua Xiong’s face flushed red; he sniffed with a hint of lingering desire before replying, “Ruan Yan, don’t worry. You’ve taken such good care of me; this position will definitely be yours.”

After speaking, Hua Xiong glanced at the slightly open door but showed no suspicion. Instead, he entered and gently closed the door behind him.

He then squinted and turned around, his eyes burning with lust as he admired Ruan Yan’s shapely figure.

What followed was not suitable for younger audiences.

As their movements grew more passionate, Ruan Yan whispered, “Deputy Director, not here. Let’s go inside.”

Her eyes were glazed over.

Lin Shan noticed Hua Xiong’s eyes bloodshot. Flustered, he hurried to the desk and pulled out a small bottle from the drawer, pouring two blue pills into his palm.

He chuckled inwardly. This bald bastard’s performance was so poor he had to rely on drugs to keep going.

After taking the pills, Hua Xiong anxiously pulled Ruan Yan into the secret chamber. Lin Shan also noticed that the trigger for the chamber was a vase inside the room.

Once the two entered the secret room, Lin Shan stepped out. He first checked Hua Xiong’s office computer but found nothing significant.

“This bald guy has probably been doing this for a long time, and must have taken a lot of bribes. That secret room surely hides many secrets...” Lin Shan stood there for a moment, then suddenly heard noises from the wall again, amused. “Hua Xiong... it’s only been five minutes... impressive.”

Soon, the wall slid open again. Hua Xiong appeared with a somewhat embarrassed expression, addressing Ruan Yan, who was holding his arm: “Well... the pills seem to be taking effect slower today. I’m not usually like this.”

Ruan Yan clung to Hua Xiong’s arm, cooing, “Director, you were wonderful. I felt like I was flying just now.”

In truth, Ruan Yan was inwardly cursing, holding back nausea and thinking, “If not for the promotion, who would put up with an old loser like you? You’re as limp as noodles!”

Hua Xiong laughed heartily, “If I were young, heh heh, I’d have taken half your life by now.”

Ruan Yan scorned silently but said aloud, “Well... Director, how about writing the application now?”

“Well...” Hua Xiong hesitated. Though Ruan Yan tried hard and was attractive, in his heart, Liu Ying was the one he truly wanted.

If he submitted the promotion application now, he would lose leverage over Liu Ying, so he wavered.

But Ruan Yan was no pushover. Seeing his hesitation, she said, “Director, didn’t you promise me?”

Hua Xiong hurriedly replied, “Ah, we can’t rush this. I still need to smooth over some connections. If I submit the list before everything’s settled, it won’t be recognized. Don’t worry, since I promised you, I won’t go back on it.”

Hua Xiong’s answer was airtight. Ruan Yan could only resign herself, “Alright then.”

The two resumed their intimate behavior.

Hidden in the cabinet, Lin Shan watched them and felt a surge of lust rising from his lower abdomen.

He and Zhang Wan had not shared such moments for over a year.

During that time, he had been running around, exhausted, with no time to think about such things. But now, having cultivated the Changchun technique, his body was relaxed, and those desires naturally returned.

Hua Xiong seemed eager to continue, but his "brother" apparently would not allow it. Reluctantly, he let Ruan Yan leave.

After she left, Hua Xiong lingered in the office for a while longer before leaving himself.

Only when Hua Xiong was gone did Lin Shan emerge from the cabinet.

He confirmed the door was locked, then twisted the vase. Sure enough, the wall shifted, revealing a passage lit brightly.

Lin Shan ventured in a short distance and saw two large rooms on either side. One of them...

Inside was a circular waterbed, surrounded by a variety of strange tools—

some Lin Shan had never even seen before.

“Damn... they really go all out,” he muttered.

There was also a computer in the room, still on. Lin Shan walked over and glanced at the desktop, where two folders were visible. One was named “Top Picks Collection.”

Lin Shan quietly opened the folder.

“163 cm, 24 years old, Emergency Department Nurse XXX”

“158 cm, 27 years old, Internal Medicine Doctor XXX”

“170 cm, 21 years old, Pharmaceutical Sales Rep XX”

Each folder contained height, age, occupation, and name.

Lin Shan randomly clicked a few; they all contained indecent videos.

With the power he wielded, Hua Xiong was utterly lawless.

Lin Shan also found a folder for Liu Ying, but it only held some pictures, apparently taken secretly and not very revealing. Evidently, Hua Xiong had not found the opportunity with her.

He also saw Ruan Yan’s folder, which was packed with content.

Another folder was labeled “Side Income.”

Lin Shan opened it and found records of bribes and embezzlement by Hua Xiong.

Some involved hospital projects, medical equipment transactions, and corrupt dealings with pharmaceutical companies—truly shocking.

Then Lin Shan entered the other room, which was piled high with luxury cigarettes and alcohol, cash, and gold—hard currency—stacks upon stacks, all bribes collected by Hua Xiong.
