Chapter 433: Chapter 13 At Wit’s End

For Yin Wuque, Dai Lin was someone he absolutely could not afford to lose.

Whether Shi Ling’s soul could be brought back to this world or not, Dai Lin was the key. It was not easy to find a person who could successfully control these eyes; Yin Wuque absolutely couldn’t give up on him.

When he heard that He Yan and Dai Lin were both in City K, his first reaction was: Could the two of them have gone together? But why hadn’t He Yan told him?

Yin Wuque immediately thought: During the time when Meng Hua awoke, did she say something to He Yan?

"He Yan..."

Yin Wuque felt a strong sense of guilt towards the sisters, Gao Menghua and Gao Heyann. For Gao Menghua, Yin Wuque had manipulated her from the very beginning. In front of Mei Quzhen, Song Min, and others, he had always played the role of a "heartbroken man who lost his fiancée"... Of course, it wasn’t entirely an act, except that the "fiancée" was not the person they believed her to be. All these people were Lu Yuan’s direct lineage, willing to pledge allegiance to him because of Lu Yuan, and this was all brought to him by Gao Menghua.

If it weren’t for Gao Menghua’s intention to sabotage Yin Wuque’s plan, he wouldn’t have wanted to absorb her soul and make her fall into a coma. Not killing Gao Menghua stemmed partly from his genuine guilt and reluctance to harm her life, and partly because her coma served as a perfect explanation for his own motivation behind needing the Devil’s Eye.

Yin Wuque’s guilt was also reflected in his compensation towards He Yan. When Lin Yan was taken out of Hospital 444, he had gone to seek help from Mei Quzhen. It couldn’t really be said that it was all an act; he was indeed anxious, hoping that He Yan could be saved in order to lessen his own feelings of guilt.

It sounded hypocritical, somewhat two-faced. But... Yin Wuque truly felt that way, without the slightest pretense. And now, the situation was beginning to spiral out of his control.

"She might really possess the Ghost Buddha, I can’t find Liu Ying’s current whereabouts," Song Min’s response to Yin Wuque made him even more uneasy, "but there are no records of the Ghost Buddha being lost. Unless it’s..."

"The Demons Department?"

Yin Wuque had also come to this conclusion.

This was the situation he was most worried about.

"People from the Demons Department..."

"Levin Keli..." As Yin Wuque muttered the name of the chief of the Demonic Department, he began to clench his fists. He started to worry that the people from the Demons Department would engage in some disgusting antics.

"If the people from the Demons Department make a move, it will be troublesome. We have entirely no information about the cursed objects in their hands, and we also can’t find them."

Song Min was also very troubled by the Demons Department, because even the three Executive Vice Presidents of Hospital 444 did not know the exact location of the Demons Department within the hospital; they only knew it must be somewhere inside the outpatient building.

In the depths of the hospital’s outpatient building, there were endless hidden folded spaces, but these spaces also required a certain patient number quota to be accessed, so there would still be a shortage of beds. However, it seemed that the Demons Department never had to worry about these problems.

"The development of Spatial Curse Items for finding people is still not going well in the Department of Cursed Objects," Song Min sighed, "This has always been a shortcoming in our hospital’s handling of cursed objects."

"Han Ming, maybe he can do it," Yin Wuque thought of this man, who had always stood opposed to him, immediately.

Han Ming’s cursed objects possessed powerful psychic invasion abilities. As long as he obtained a very subtle clue, even if it was just a lingering scent left by that person, or words they had written, he could immediately search for them and then psychically invade their bodies. In terms of finding people, there was no one stronger than Han Ming. But would Han Ming help him? Managing the bodies of the deceased was the responsibility of the Administrative Vice President. The Executive Vice President didn’t need to consider these issues. Most of what Han Ming had to deal with was related to actual surgeries, the construction of wards, and the arrangement of cursed objects within the hospital. Han Ming didn’t even have duties like Yin Wuque, who was responsible for submitting reports to the hospital director; one could even say that he had the least contact with the director among the vice presidents.

"Should I go find him? Or?"

Yin Wuque shook his head, "Unless it’s absolutely necessary, it’s better not to look for him. President Lu Yuan once repeatedly told me that the Administrative Vice President and the Executive Vice President can never... stand on the same side."

"Then?"

"Let me think. There must be a way to solve this."

...

Dai Lin knew that even if he managed to find the body in time, he would still face the hospital’s punishment.

He grew more suspicious; could this be the real purpose of the doctors from the Demons Department?

However, for the time being, he couldn’t think of any other method. Even using the Devil’s Eye to peer through countless buildings in the vast expanse of City K was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhou had not yet responded to Dai Lin, leaving it uncertain whether Han Ming would come to help.

Gao He Yan also felt very troubled. Searching for people had always been a weak point for Hospital 444, or else Jiang Licheng would have found Liang Luanxu—who killed his daughter—much earlier. Just by interfering with the use of a Spatial Curse Item, they could easily prevent the search for the person they wanted to find.

To search for her in a short amount of time, they would have to seek help from the police. However, Liu Ying hadn’t committed any crimes, so calling the police would be futile. Besides, it was very likely that the Demonic Department Doctors could manipulate surveillance too.

Thinking this way, he realized that it really was incredibly difficult.

"The only person I can think of is Han Ming," Gao He Yan thought it over and over, but it had to be him: "Do you have a way to get in touch with him for help?"

"Fang Zhou hasn’t replied to me. I can’t easily enter the floor where the Vice President is."

"Han Ming didn’t give you his cell phone number?"

"No."

"I remember you went to a hotel banquet for him, didn’t you? I thought you got his phone number at that time."

"No, it was when I attended the training. Han Ming himself came to me, and then told me he had made reservations at the Orien Hotel in City W."

"You met directly at the hotel in City W?"

"He said that City W was his wife’s hometown, but thinking back now, he must have been prepared for me to attend the banquet. At that time, it was him and Director An Zhiyuan who met with me."

"An Zhiyuan..." Mentioning that name made Gao He Yan sneer, "If it wasn’t for my sister falling into a coma, it wouldn’t be this scoundrel’s turn to be the head of the emergency department. After becoming the head, he immediately became Han Ming’s hound. Even within the emergency department, many doctors don’t really accept An Zhiyuan."

Dai Lin also had a deep impression of An Zhiyuan’s sycophantic behavior in the past.

"Okay... I’ll go look for An Zhiyuan then," Gao He Yan said, "He indeed counts as one of Han Ming’s trusted confidants. I’ll head back to the hospital first and make a trip to the emergency department to see if I can find him. Anyway, we have to figure out a way to bring the body back within 24 hours!"
