Hospital 444

For An Xiunian, although she was still in a very dire state at the moment, at least she now had a powerful ally.

"She must have lied. That doctor, Mei Quzhen."

Even though the business card made her not doubt the hospital’s ability, it didn’t mean that the doctors there were truly dedicated to saving lives and healing the wounded. In her view, Mei Quzhen seemed more interested in using her for some ulterior motive.

"Even if I gather intelligence, I can’t just hand it over to her lightly," was An Xiunian’s first reaction, "Otherwise, it’s obvious, she could likely betray me as soon as she gets what she wants."

Her experiences and upbringing from childhood had always led An Xiunian to suspect the worst of human nature.

Whether dealing with good or evil people, discussing interests proved much more stable than discussing emotions. This was a life lesson An Xiunian had learned.

Many people spout righteousness and morality, but in essence, it’s all about not getting their fair share of benefits. Once they become beneficiaries, their standards naturally change, and at that time, righteousness and morality? You can only laugh it off.

"So far, they haven’t noticed anything wrong with me. But..."

But what An Xiunian hadn’t expected was that the hospital staff was completely ignorant of the Yan Family’s information. Instead, they wanted her to extract it.

"This is truly unexpected..."

Originally, she had hoped to play the role of Yan Xin more convincingly by getting information from the hospital. On that basis, if she needed to play the role of an undercover operative and gather information for the hospital, that wouldn’t be a problem either.

Even so, her situation hadn’t improved much. Relying solely on the handkerchief clearly wouldn’t change her circumstances much. To get Mei Quzhen to truly exert effort to help her, she would need to help her obtain information related to the "Soul Sacrifice."

"Seed Ghost..."

Muttering these two words, she began to ponder how to understand the concept of the Seed Ghost.

This would not be easy.

That evening.

"Ah Jiang."

"Hmm?"

After much thought, An Xiunian decided to use the maid Ah Jiang as her first breakthrough.

She was a mere servant, and in such a place, the hierarchy was likely even more rigid. Facing herself, Ah Jiang probably wouldn’t dare to question her.

Of course, the downside was that she likely didn’t know much.

At this moment, she returned home and had just finished dinner. She let Ah Jiang follow behind her, ready to have a chat.

It was to be seen how much useful information would emerge from this conversation.

After saying "Ah Jiang," she continued with this line, "Do you know why I wanted to see you?"

That was the best approach she had thought of.

Intentionally saying nothing, she let Ah Jiang think for herself about what information she needed to report or where she felt she had failed. Either way, it could provide An Xiunian with critical information.

"I, I..."

Ah Jiang immediately became fearful, saying, "Miss..."

"Think carefully before you speak. I’m only giving you one chance."

With those words, Ah Jiang became even more nervous and fearful.

Meanwhile, An Xiunian slowed her pace, giving Ah Jiang ample time to think.

Think well, and give me important information.

Just then, Ah Jiang finally spoke, "I’m sorry, Miss, I didn’t mean to. I...I only mentioned it once to a friend, and I really did, he wouldn’t tell anyone else."

"Continue."

"I...I know I shouldn’t have mentioned it, after all, Liang Luanxu is a fugitive..."

Liang Luanxu???

Upon hearing this name, An Xiunian first froze, then suddenly remembered!

Yes, it was the name of a murderer!

An Xiunian saw it on the news, a woman who had brutally dismembered and killed a friend of the same age, and then disappeared without a trace. This news was also very sensational at the time: a murderer who dismembered people was still at large, never captured, covered extensively by many media outlets.

This person... what does she have to do with the Yan Family?

Could it be that someone from the Yan Family was harboring her?

"Yes, sorry, miss, I... I shouldn’t have said anything... But then I thought, she only worked at the Yan Family in the past, so I don’t think it would affect the Yan Family’s reputation too much..."

She worked at the Yan Family???

...

"What should we do now?"

Mei Quzhen was also overwhelmed as she listened to Lu Wen’s question.

The patient’s test report could only be accessed with the dean’s authorization, which was a very rare occurrence.

Such a circumstance also proved one thing: there was a powerful force within the hospital interfering, even able to override the hospital’s own treatment of patients.

The most critical point was that the only person with access to it was the executive vice dean, that is, Han Ming!

"Han Ming, he probably knew all along. He knows far more than I imagined. What exactly did he discover abroad when he went there years ago?"

Most people believed that Han Ming became the vice dean primarily because he brought the concept of the Sign of the Devil.

But in fact, only a very few knew that it was the exact opposite.

Only the dean wanted to teach the concept of the Sign of the Devil to the general outpatient doctors. Meanwhile, the hospital’s truly powerful curse energy has always been preventing the ordinary outpatient doctors from learning about knowledge related to the Abyss’s intrusion.

Han Ming’s actions, in some ways, had opened Pandora’s box!

As Mei Quzhen pondered these issues, she also thought of another problem: diving deeper into this might not be a good thing for her.

Just then, Mei Quzhen’s mobile phone rang.

An Xiunian wouldn’t easily contact her unless it was absolutely necessary.

She had given An Xiunian a special phone that could ensure absolute protection against interception. Moreover, the phone wouldn’t leave any call records even if it was used, and it could make calls even in places without any signal.

"Do you have important information?"

"Liang Luanxu," she uttered that name, "I can confirm that this woman, who is still wanted for murder, had worked at the Yan Family’s residence. But no one knows the specific nature of her job. Periodically, the Yan Family gathers some young men and women to this villa to take care of some secret work. The details of the work are unknown even to other servants."

"What did you say???"

Upon hearing this name, Mei Quzhen inhaled sharply.

She was all too familiar with that name.

Jiang Yanyu, the daughter of Jiang Licheng, had been brutally dismembered and killed by this woman named Liang Luanxu!

However, Mei Quzhen was among the few who understood the inside story.

Jiang Yanyu had married Feng Xiao, the current deputy director of the Department of Cursed Artifacts. After her horrific murder, both Jiang Licheng and Feng Xiao had discovered that her death involved a supernatural curse.

And now, Jiang Licheng had disappeared.

The disappearance of a Paranormal Doctor meant that he was either dead or trapped by some curse; otherwise, under normal circumstances, he could teleport back to the hospital in an instant! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Liang Luanxu, it’s the particularly hard-to-write Liang Luanxu, right?"

"There shouldn’t be many dismembering murderers named Liang Luanxu who are wanted, right? I ensured she had just completed that so-called secret work at the Yan Family not long before she committed the murder. I’ve checked the reports, and the police found many devil-related carvings and books in her home. Many of her friends found it hard to believe that she was a murderer. You should have the capability to find that woman, right? Using cursed artifacts or something? Then perhaps you can uncover clues related to the Seed Ghost."

"I understand."

Mei Quzhen could have never imagined that everything would be linked to Doctor Jiang Licheng again.

Then...

It was time to investigate thoroughly.
