Chapter 252: Chapter 43 Giving You a Chance

"What?"

Ji Danshu’s moment of holding the business card was marked by a horrified expression.

"Dad has kept this business card until now," Ji Danyang said with a solemn face, "I couldn’t believe it at first, but it’s true. And you should have vaguely guessed that ghosts really do exist in this world, right?"

Clutching the business card tightly, Ji Danshu moved her lips and said, "I knew you and dad were definitely hiding something big from me, but this is too bizarre! A hospital that can treat curses?"

"It’s true."

"How... How can this be?"

"Back then..." Ji Danyang began to recall the past, "Dad once had someone who was murdered given a sea burial..."

...

...

"What happened? What happened? What happened?"

When Xie Chengjun regained consciousness, he found himself in a room bathed in red.

Countless skeletons were gazing up at him all around.

"What do you think happened?"

The voice of Yin Wuque came from one of the skeletons!

"Yin! Deputy Yin... Pah! Director Yin, don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me!"

"You betrayed me. Therefore, you must accept punishment."

"Wait! Just wait! Director Yin, if you’re going to kill me, at least let me be clear about whose hands I’m dying by?"

Skeleton: "..."

Xie Chengjun continued to say, "Director Yin, you’re definitely going to say next: ’It was me!’ But here’s the problem: who am I? To answer that, we have to start with the relationship between man and the universe. A longstanding question that has been plaguing you is: who am I? Who are you, Yin W... Pah pah pah, Yin Wuque? No, that’s just a code name. You can be called Yin Wuque, and so can I. But if we remove that code name, who are you then? When I converse with you using this code name, your code name also becomes me. Does this mean that you are me, and I am you? Where do I come from, and where do I go after death? Why did I appear in this world, and what does my presence mean to the world? Did the world choose me, or did I choose the world? My relationship with the univ... Ahhhh!"

Several of his ribs were driven straight through his chest, protruding completely out of his body!

"You seem to have memorized the lines from ’My Own Swordsman’ quite well."

"Cough cough... It’s a classic domestic series, after all! It has been said before: To save one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. And it’s also said in ’Schindler’s List’: To save one is to save the world... Aaahhhh!"

This time, he felt his spinal bones starting to snap one by one!

Even for a paranormal doctor, the pain of breaking bones was unbearable!

With Xie Chengjun’s blood-curdling scream, the skeleton in front continued to speak, "You should be grateful that Director Song appreciates your talent, and that’s why I’m willing to spare you. But from now on, I will take your third left rib. When Dai Lin comes out, you know how to explain his cousin’s affair, don’t you?"

"Yes, I do! I understand!"

Then, everything was as it was before.

Not a single wound was on Xie Chengjun’s body.

Yet, he continued to feel pain in his chest where a rib had been taken.

This was Yin Wuque’s office.

He glanced at Xie Chengjun and said, "Remember, this is for Director Song’s sake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you off so easily. All your end-of-year Spiritual Therapy Points bonus are forfeited. Any objections?"

"No! None!"

"Get out, and close the door behind you."

"Okay! Alright!"

After Xie Chengjun left, Yin Wuque looked at the computer screen in front of him.

On the screen was Song Min.

"Thank you, Director Yin, for showing mercy. He is, after all, my old subordinate..."

"Actually, I like people like him," Yin Wuque’s words contained no hint of sarcasm, "but he’s not very good at adapting. I believe that in the future, he will be even more loyal to you."

"He’s not the type to sacrifice his life for righteousness either; he just had a moment of soft-heartedness. You can rest assured, Director Yin, I..."

"I’m not quite at ease entrusting the Wraith Surgery Department to him. For the time being, you can continue serving as the department head. In handling affairs, you’re the one I trust the most."

"I understand."

"Now, I’ve no idea where Dai Ming has gone... Dai Lin’s situation is rather special; I don’t want to use him for cursed object experiments."

"Then..."

"Let’s just observe for now. Matters of the future can be discussed later. It’s a pity, if only I had Han Ming’s cursed object, finding Dai Ming would be as easy as flipping my hand."

Finding people and collecting information were areas where Yin Wuque couldn’t compare to Han Ming.

Meanwhile...

In Han Ming’s office.

In the bathroom inside his office.

Han Ming opened the door to the shower and stepped out, a towel wrapped around his waist. Behind him was Huo Jialan, the head nurse, also wrapped in a towel.

"You were particularly spirited today, weren’t you?" Huo Jialan hugged Han Ming from behind and said, "If I get pregnant, can I keep the child this time?"

"I’ve told you," Han Ming caught Huo Jialan’s hands and said, "aside from a child, I can give you anything."

"Do you really have to be like this?"

"We had an agreement. Just physical, nothing more." Han Ming was exceptionally cold: "Don’t do anything that goes beyond my bottom line. Our relationship is only this."

Huo Jialan could only sigh.

"What’s next?"

"Next..."

Han Ming looked at the mirror in front of him and said, "Dai Lin, his current situation is quite dire."

When Dai Lin was unequivocally part of the firm deputy director faction, it would have been best if he had died, but now that he had received that letter, the nature of things had completely changed.

Of course, Han Ming wouldn’t actively save him. If Dai Lin died just like that, it would simply be a pity.

"However, I’ll give him one chance. Just one."

Yet Dai Lin, the focus of intense interest by both deputy directors, was still confined to the isolation ward, completely unable to leave or learn about anything happening outside.

This situation made Dai Lin extremely anxious.

"What should I do?"

He could now clearly perceive his own soul and was exhibiting symptoms of soul deficiency.

What was he supposed to do now?

All of a sudden, the door to the sickroom opened, and a nurse walked in.

"Doctor Dai, it’s time for your routine check-up."

"Alright," Dai Lin sighed.

Just then, the voice of the nurse in front of him changed completely.

"I’m giving you a chance to get out."

It was unmistakably Han Ming’s voice!

"You! Vice Director Han?" Dai Lin looked at the nurse before him with caution.

"I’m sending you away. And then... you do what you can. Beyond that, I won’t provide you with any other assistance. It’s because you received that letter that I’m giving you this opportunity. Whether or not you can seize it is up to you."

"Yes!" Dai Lin nodded without hesitation!
