Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

Konglan's baffling words left everyone, including Yun Zhenyue, stunned.

'You've worked hard...'

'What does she mean?'

'Bearing a bad reputation to save the factory?'

'She must have gotten something wrong!'

If not for the utterly serious look in Konglan's eyes, everyone would have thought she'd gone mad with rage.

Xiao Jiu had been completely bewildered from the start.

They still hadn't recovered from the shock of their master secretly causing trouble.

Now, Konglan's words had thrown them into a complete daze.

Their little head felt like it was filled with fog, unable to make sense of anything.

In the end, it was Xiao Ba who spoke up, their expression grave. "So... our master really did secretly spike the food with laxatives?"

"Actually, there was no mole, and these chefs are all innocent."

"It's just that Master's purpose in using the laxatives wasn't to stop the mission—"

"—but because she knew some intelligence from the very beginning? For some reason, she couldn't reveal it, so she had to risk being misunderstood, even stripped of her position, just to stop all of this?"

At this point.

Xiao Ba turned to Yun Zhenyue, whose expression remained calm.

They were deeply captivated by her charisma.

Konglan hummed in agreement.

She then explained the whole story.

"Actually, Purgatory Factory has always had a rival: the Living Body Company."

"Come to think of it, I modeled our factory's operating model after theirs."

"The Living Body Company also captures anomalies to become their employees. They get no rest time and no wages. They're even stricter than our factory..."

"All anomalies lose consciousness upon entering the company, becoming mindless zombies at their posts, creating more value for the company."

"If an anomaly dies, the company dismembers and recycles their body, then reconstructs it through some process. Anyway, once you step into the Living Body Company, you're trapped in an endless cycle of work."

After explaining the concept of the Living Body Company.

Konglan pressed her lips together, her eyes filling with deep compassion as she gazed at Yun Zhenyue.

"Since we both need to capture employees, the factory and the company often clash. This mission was a trap set by the Living Body Company..."

"You don't need to know the specific details."

"You just need to know that if Xiaoyue had really gone on this mission, the consequences, the disaster, would have been unimaginable to me."

"There was a high probability that Purgatory Factory would have been severely damaged, even wiped out by the Living Body Company. That was a very real possibility."

"That's why I said..."

"You've really been through a lot, Xiaoyue," Konglan said, looking at Yun Zhenyue with gratitude once more.

'So that's how it was!'

Xiao Ba knew they had guessed correctly.

"Master, you could have just told us. We would have helped you," Xiao Ba said softly.

Xiao Jiu also nodded excitedly. "So Master was secretly protecting us again! I said it before, you can suspect anyone, but you can't suspect Master!"

"Master is definitely the most loyal person in our factory!"

Li Ruxue let out a breath, her eyes seeming to well up with tears.

With the resolve to be misunderstood by all, she had thrown herself into the trap to save them from dire straits!

This action!

It was undoubtedly moving.

Even the two falsely accused anomaly chefs were moved by Yun Zhenyue's noble, self-sacrificing spirit.

"So that was the reason," the bald anomaly chef said, looking at Yun Zhenyue with respect. "My lady, you didn't have to do it that way. If you had just asked, I could have helped you spike the food."

"Even if it meant sending every last employee to the toilets, I would have done my utmost."

...

Hearing this.

The Dragon Country audience was collectively shocked.

They had thought Yun Zhenyue was having another airheaded moment!

But it turned out she was playing 5D chess!

Using laxatives was actually to protect the factory's employees!

[No way, dude, when did Yun Zhenyue get this info?]

[The stream isn't on when she's sleeping. Plus, she's well-connected. She probably heard it from one of her subordinates.]

[Then why didn't she just tell the President? Did she really have to use laxatives?]

[The President would never have believed a rumor like that. So she had to figure something out on her own.]

[No wonder Yun Zhenyue tried to stop this mission again and again. I finally get it now.]

[Wait, is she still an undercover agent?]

...

The foreign audience also found it hard to believe.

They had all thought Yun Zhenyue was doomed this time!

But damn it, the way things were developing was so absurd!

Even using laxatives could be interpreted as being for the good of the factory!

The key was that the President actually believed it without a shadow of a doubt!

——It was mainly because her reputation was just too good!!

If it were anyone else,

Konglan might have thought it was just a coincidence.

'Oh, so you're saying you used laxatives because you got intel in advance and didn't want the employees to die?'

'Then show me the proof! We'll deal with the matter of you poisoning the employees separately!'

But the crucial thing was that Yun Zhenyue had a history of too many of these "coincidences"!

Especially those two stories that Xiao Jiu had told earlier.

In both, Yun Zhenyue had started by doing something completely baffling.

It seemed detrimental to the factory, but in the end, it resulted in even greater benefits!

How could people not connect the dots?

Many in the foreign audience were fuming, almost coughing up blood in anger!

[This... This is impossible! How can she be so lucky every single time!]

[There's absolutely no connection between these two events, right? And this idiot President believes it?]

[Didn't she say she was an undercover agent? Why is she suddenly working so wholeheartedly for the factory?]

[Dammit, I knew this Dragon Country woman was a deep schemer! This is probably all an act just to curry favor with the President!]

[Look, she's not even talking! It must be true!]

...

While everyone was overcome with emotion,

the most awkward person at that moment...

was, without a doubt, the focus of their conversation: Yun Zhenyue herself.

Yun Zhenyue appeared calm on the surface.

...but she was actually completely floored by this sudden turn of events.

'Wait, was I really that amazing?'

'No, that can't be right, can it?'

'What Living Body Company? What conspiracy?'

'I don't know anything about it!'

'Using the laxatives was just a nonsensical thing I did because I was too anxious before.'

'How did that get interpreted as a noble sacrifice?'

'I was all ready to have a showdown with Konglan!'

Yun Zhenyue's expression was a bit complicated.

But this "complicated" expression was interpreted by Konglan—whose favorability towards her was nearly maxed out—as Yun Zhenyue still feeling hurt about being misunderstood and distressed by her previous suspicions.

'Putting myself in her shoes!'

Konglan looked at it from Yun Zhenyue's perspective.

'She was determined to save the factory, but for some reason, couldn't reveal the truth. In fact, she had even tried to dissuade me beforehand, only to be mistaken as being too soft to act against her own kind.'

'And in the end, she was doubted by the very President she trusted!'

The mere thought of all this...

made Konglan's heart ache.

Her gaze toward Yun Zhenyue was filled with deep apology and compassion!

'Maybe that's why.'

'Because the factory didn't trust her one hundred percent!'

'That's why Yun Zhenyue didn't report the truth from the beginning.'

'She knew that, faced with the temptation of the Soul Inn, I, her President, wouldn't believe a mere rumor. Instead, I would become suspicious of her. That must have been her concern!'

'Therefore, Yun Zhenyue chose to use direct action to stop it!'

'Even if it meant I would be disappointed in her!'

'Even if it meant losing her position!'

'She would absolutely not stand by and watch the factory be destroyed!'

'This is her loyalty and determination!'
