Chapter 503: Chapter 5 The Secrets of the Evil Ghost Department

"A bus station that even a ghost wouldn’t dare to approach?"

"Yes. The serial rear-end accident was initially caused by Bus 34. And it was that particular bus stop where the incident occurred. So..."

"You’ll go back to the hospital later and bring Lu Yuqing with you. She should be finishing up her night clinic right about now. Having her there to take a look at the site of the accident will let us know if there have been any ghostly appearances. You should know, she can very precisely control the actual timing of a ghost’s manifestation. Just for that, she’s considered one of the hospital’s top talents."

Hearing Mei Quzhen say this, Gao Heyann nodded and said, "Hmm, that could work. I almost forgot about that."

Gao Heyann didn’t actually like Lu Yuqing very much; she was someone who harbored too many calculations and intentions in her heart and probably wouldn’t want to interact too much with a doctor from a different faction. But this was a matter related to the life and death of countless people. If such an accident could happen today, no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t continue.

"However, you must clarify first, it might not be a Resentful Spirit, but a Malevolent Ghost, or even worse. If it’s a Malevolent Ghost..."

"I know. If it’s a Malevolent Ghost, naturally, the doctors from the Evil Ghost Department will handle it. But, what I’m more worried about now are the patients who have already been brought to the hospital. Well, I’m talking about the regular hospital."

When Gao Heyann said this, Mei Quzhen immediately understood.

The patients brought to the hospital might have been cursed.

If that were true, then they must take the opportunity now, while there’s still time, and send them for treatment at the hospital without delay.

"Are you planning on handing out your business cards to them?"

"Looking at it right now, that seems to be the better option."

"Alright then. Also, He Yan, about Meng Hua..."

"I can’t reveal more to you. Please forgive me, Director Mei. There’s something I must declare, I’m not... I don’t trust you."

"Fair enough."

Mei Quzhen could understand Gao Heyann’s response.

Now, Gao Menghua hadn’t returned to the hospital.

But she must still be alive; otherwise, He Yan would have no reason to hide anything from him.

Just...

"I heard that even to Yin Wuque, the deputy director, you haven’t said anything? After all, he’s supposed to be your brother-in-law, not to mention, he’s the deputy director."

"I’m sorry, Director Mei."

Mei Quzhen gradually started to feel that something was different.

"Maybe I’m overthinking this, but your response just now and your expression have led me to some speculation. You... you just said, you don’t not trust me. Then what about the deputy director, Yin? Moreover, recently, even in private, you’ve stopped calling him brother-in-law."

"Director Mei, I..."

"Let me make one thing clear: I’ve always supported Deputy Director Lu Yuan. Meng Hua has always been treated by Deputy Director Lu as his own daughter. They lack only a formal adoption procedure, no different otherwise from father and daughter. I pledged loyalty to Yin Wuque because he married Meng Hua, the successor appointed by Deputy Director Lu. Actually, if it were up to me, I’d prefer Meng Hua to take on the role of executive deputy director of this hospital. You should know your sister is more than capable."

Gao Heyann remained silent.

Mei Quzhen continued, "Never mind, since you won’t say it, I won’t ask further. However, you can be a bit reassured, as Meng Hua’s sister, just based on this, I’ll go to great lengths to protect you."

"Thank you, Director Mei."

For Gao Heyann, who had lost her parents at an early age, Mei Quzhen’s words warmed her heart.

"Actually, I’m not afraid to die, Director Mei. I became a Paranormal Doctor voluntarily. When I made that choice, I was always ready for the possibility that one day I might sacrifice myself in the line of duty."

"Don’t talk like that, He Yan. I don’t have such elevated sentiments, and you shouldn’t think that the director made us Paranormal Doctors just to save lives and help the injured."

Then, she prepared to go inside the hospital to find Lu Yuqing.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said to Mei Quzhen before her, "That patient... I remember her name was Lu Mange, right? She was too scared to remove the curse, so I accompanied her. What happened afterward?"

"Her husband had died many years ago, but a ghost was wearing his skin. Now, everything has been taken care of."

"Sounds really frightening. So, the ghost wearing human skin, was it a Malevolent Ghost?"

"It seems so for now. Lucky for her, she had a curse object with her, otherwise, she would have lost her life long ago."

Gao Heyann pursed her lips and sat down again.

"I have a feeling that it’s not as simple as that."

At this point, Mei Quzhen’s expression changed slightly.

"He Yan, what have you noticed?"

"I can’t explain clearly, but that day, when I interacted with that woman named Lu Mange, something felt off. Are you sure that she, herself, is a hundred percent living person with no issues?"

Mei Quzhen was silent for a long time before saying, "He Yan, you must have heard from your sister about when I proposed separating out the Evil Ghost Department from the Malevolent Ghost Department, which met with opposition from the entire department of Malevolent Ghosts, right?"

"Even if my sister didn’t mention it, I’d still know it; the whole hospital has been talking about it. At that time, very few people in the Malevolent Ghost Department supported you; most were opposed."

"Yes. Later, the application to create the new department was finally approved by the director, and even a new space was established."

"Do you know why the department of Evil Ghosts faced opposition in the first place?"

"There are many rumors. My sister said..."

"Because the department of Evil Ghosts wasn’t supposed to exist in the first place. To be precise... it’s a department that shouldn’t exist in Hospital 444."

Gao Heyann grew even more confused.

"That’s as much as I can tell you. He Yan. So... no matter what you sensed about Lu Mange, don’t think too deeply about it. She is a hundred percent living person."

Upon hearing this, Gao Heyann became even more befuddled.

If it really were a living person, then simply saying it would suffice.

Why the need for so many words?

Gao Heyann finally realized that the Evil Ghost Department wasn’t a simple department.

For a long time, her understanding of a Malevolent Ghost was that it was a mutation of a Malevolent Spirit; not only could it not be treated with the same methods used for Malevolent Spirit curses, but the processes and techniques for surgery were also entirely different.

But now, it seemed it wasn’t as straightforward as she had thought.

"Lu Mange is a living person. Remember that, and then... never mention this name to me again, He Yan."
