"Hallucinations, I don’t know if what I see is real or an illusion. I saw a figure erge from behind Fourth Master, very blurred, unclear. It ca before without speaking, only locking up in a peculiar manner. It’s different from the acupoint technique you use, more unusual. I can’t move, can’t think, and then Fourth Master sohow passes through him and recites a curse at , leaving uncontrollably with what remains in my mind... those..." A tear seeped from Lian’s eyes, and Xiao Lin could feel her panic.
"Including Dragon Soul!" This further solidified his belief that his master had a confidential connection to this matter. Xiao Lin sat next to Lian, holding her in his arms, his chin resting on her head, instinctively kissing her hair.
"I’ve never thought of harming anyone, truly never. I don’t know what I did afterwards, completely without any awareness."
Lao Long wanted to kill the Military Advisor not without reason, but she’s a woman, and naturally, won have their weaknesses.
"You an, I can’t break through that person’s technique?"
"I don’t know if he is really human, it’s terrifying, and very powerful."
Just then the phone suddenly rang, it was a ssage from Li Jingyi, the restaurant’s address had already been sent over. Xiao Lin imdiately stood up: "Co on, I’ll take you to taste the delicacies near my school, and et my colleagues as well."
"Aren’t you going to say sothing to ?"
"Is there anything to say?" Xiao Lin couldn’t help but find it amusing as he looked at Lian. Since he knew the process of the incident, then in regards to what’s already happened, does tracing back hold any aning? It’s not like ti can flow backwards and start all over.
"Dragon Soul is not that fragile, nor are you."
Upon seeing Lian, Li Jingyi once again expressed her surprise and admiration with the image of a woman. In so way, Lian bears more sweetness compared to Xia Xue; her beauty is very subtle, yet striking, while Xia Xue’s beauty cos from her passion, high-profile yet elegant.
"Xiao Xiao, you sure are quite fortunate!"
Li Jingyi seems to have drunk a few more cups than usual, and her usual competent image was thrown to the clouds. She reached out and pulled Xiao Lin’s arm to chat, while Xiao Ning awkwardly glanced at Lian.
"Dr. Xiao, it seems the director has drunk a bit too much." Xiao Ning mouthed to Li Jingyi.
"Hmm, you guys send Sister Li ho later, I’ll take leave from the dean." Xiao Lin smiled at several Nurses in the ergency room: "Xiao Tang, can you help take my friend for a CT scan later? I still need to go to the hospital to see Tong Tong."
"No problem!" Xiao Tang readily agreed: "You don’t even know you’ve gained a new title of ’Flying Hero’ now!"
"Oh, is it that exaggerated?" Chewing on a piece of at he had picked up, Xiao Lin didn’t ignore Lian’s dissatisfied expression. Matters are matters, but illness still needs confirmation.
"Tsk, you have no idea, your rescue of Li Tongtong has been uploaded to the school network, and now our ergency room is going to be busy again, unlike the past few empty months!"
"Ha ha!" Xiao Lin laughed foolishly for a while, calling the waiter over to pay the bill.
"I’ll be back soon, wait for at the hospital."
Finished with the instructions, Xiao Lin hurriedly headed towards the city center hospital.
The Pursuer
Upon entering the hospital, Xiao Lin strides up the safety passage to the second floor, the stairway door still swaying. His left hand grips the handrail, taking a big step up the stairs leading to the third floor. His long legs powerfully emit rhythm, passing through the fourth floor, he darted out of the safety passage door, but did not enter the hospital hall’s corridor, instead remaining hidden behind the door, peering inside through the glass.
A man dressed in dark clothing passed the fourth floor and continued upwards. Xiao Lin erged from the safety passage door, following the man upwards, a cold smile on his lips.
His right shoulder is tapped, causing the man in dark clothes to halt, his heart skips a beat, since when was there soone following him, and during his movent, trailing silently.
"Are you looking for ?" Raising his collar, the warmth in the safety passage falls short.
The man didn’t respond to Xiao Lin, instead making a forward move to shake off Xiao Lin’s hand, trying to escape from a nearby window. As if already predicted such a path, Xiao Lin turned to block the man’s front: "Aren’t you looking for ? Where do you want to go?"
This is an unfamiliar face, Xiao Lin had absolutely no mory of. The man realizing escaping forward was not possible, turned to slide from the staircase rail towards the third floor.
He’s fast, Xiao Lin is faster. Before the man reached the third floor, Xiao Lin leapt down from the fourth floor. His right hand stretched towards the man’s neck, smoothly pulling him onto the ground. Evidently, the man is soone trained, after a fall, targeting Xiao Lin’s left side started to attack.
"If you tell who sent you, I’ll let you go."
Dodging his attack, Xiao Lin shook his head, beginning to warm up. Soone at this level, not enough to take seriously: "I advise you not to waste your strength, only one move, and you’ll definitely fall."
The man’s mouth seed quite tough. Though his steps were no longer as nimble, he still charged at Xiao Lin, leaving him only able to shake his head, seizing the mont seeing an opening, eting straight on, two fingers driving into the center of his throat, down with the man!
"You still have a chance!"
Xiao Lin looked down at the man clutching his own neck, and gazed at him with so sympathy. The human body has many vulnerabilities; in certain places, a well-directed force can allow even a woman to easily escape from a robber.
"Hahaha!" The man suddenly let out a bizarre laugh and began to convulse, foaming at the mouth!
"Damn it!"
Xiao Lin exclaid in surprise, imdiately crouching down and lifting the man’s head to pinpoint several acupoints on his shoulder and chest, halting the flow of blood: "Soone, co quickly!"
He pried open the man’s mouth, a pungent sll wafted out—yet more poisoned wine!
Upon hearing the shout, an orderly erged from behind the safety door: "What’s happened?"
"Quickly call a doctor, this person has been severely poisoned. Where is the ergency room?" Xiao Lin shouted to the people behind him as he lifted the man in his arms. The orderly didn’t dare procrastinate and hurriedly led Xiao Lin to the ergency room.
"What poison is the patient suffering from?" A person who appeared to be a doctor swiftly approached as Xiao Lin arrived at the ergency room door: "Put the patient on the stretcher, how did he get poisoned?" The doctor donned a stethoscope and began calculating the patient’s heart rate, turning the patient’s eyelid open: "The pupil is beginning to dilate!"
"Use 1000cc of lavage solution to cleanse the stomach imdiately!" Xiao Lin ignored the doctor’s routine checks, glaring as he directed the nearby nurse.
"Sorry, sir, please do not disrupt our treatnt of the patient here. We have already notified the police, you should wait outside. This is the ergency area, outsiders must not enter casually." Clearly agitated from being ignored, the doctor sowhat reluctantly signaled for Xiao Lin to be ushered out.
"Wang Zhengguo?" Xiao Lin glanced at the na card on the doctor’s chest: "You’d better listen to , and use 1000cc, the poison involved is poisoned wine."
"Sir, we are very clear on how to choose the optimal dosage for the patient’s cleansing. Please wait in the waiting area." Wang Zhengguo adjusted his glasses and snorted dismissively at the young man in his early twenties.
"Director Wang Zhengguo, heed my words. If he dies, you’ll be in trouble too!"
"Throw this person out!" This ti, indeed it was rather humiliating. The nurse had never seen her chief physician lose his temper like this before and awkwardly led Xiao Lin outside.
"Don’t mind us, our director’s just like that." The pretty nurse winked at Xiao Lin, cutely revealing two tiger teeth: "The police will be here soon, don’t run around!"
"Hmm! Is there a female student nad Li Tongtong who was sent here at noon today?" Xiao Lin seed to recall sothing suddenly, halting the nurse who was about to enter.
"Yes, there was such a young girl, but she’s still in the ICU and has not yet passed the danger. However, I heard that soone perford first aid on her earlier, so her life should not be in great danger, but..."
"But, what?"
"I don’t know!" The nurse playfully wrinkled her nose: "I won’t tell you, I have to go in. Rember, don’t run around!"
"The poisoned patient’s family, go to the counter to pay the deposit." No sooner had the nurse entered than an older nurse ca out: "It’s you, isn’t it? Go pay the money." Looking at the bill in hand, Xiao Lin felt a bit annoyed. "Hurry up, gastric lavage and infusion require dical equipnt."
"Do you an that if I don’t pay, treatnt won’t be provided?"
"Why are you speaking so brashly, young man!" The nurse looked at Xiao Lin, he was rather handso, but the way he spoke was grating.
"Hospitals are of course for saving lives, this is already preparing for infusion and gastric lavage, and asking you to pay is also reasonable!"
The nurse was experienced, with a bit of worldly wisdom. Xiao Lin didn’t continue to argue with her, choosing instead to go to the counter to handle the procedures.
"Just received a poisoning case, can you tell where the patient is now, and where the witnesses are?" The voice sounded familiar; Xiao Lin couldn’t help but turn his head to glance at the person hurriedly rushing inside from outside.
"The patient is being resuscitated in the ergency room, just go straight from here through the corridor."
"Okay, thank you!" Wu Shuang led two colleagues towards the ergency room.
Ah! Still with that urgent personality. Seeing the distant figure, Xiao Lin helplessly tucked away the receipt; it seed he always encountered this policewoman at inconvenient tis.
"Which one is the witness?" Wu Shuang asked the sowhat older nurse.
"I am the witness."
"Why are you again!" Wu Shuang turned around to see Xiao Lin, feeling a wave of helplessness. Why? Why? (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote at Qidian (qidian) for recomndations and monthly votes; your support is my greatest motivation.)
